    Coach Wynne Lays
No Stress on Aggie
Bear Stories
Team in Last Scrimmage
Practice—Depart Tonight
for Stillwater.
. ^^■^^OACil CHET WYNNE
of the Creighton
university football
■■ team, having heard
that the Oklahoma
Aggies football team
is very badly crip
pled, continues to
send the, Creighton
football team
through hard work
outs this week in
preparation for Sat
urday's contest
against the Aggies
ill nt III water, Okl.
1* rnm all indications the Aggies
team resembles a crutch advertise
ment. Reports from the Sooner state
are to the effect that several stars
of the Aggies are wearers of the arti
ficial support. But Wynne, remem
bering cases where athletes who were
supposed to be on crutches, played
the best games of their career on the
dates on which they were supposed
to be in such hopeless condition,
places no faith in suen a monstrous
bear story. "It may be that some of
the Aggie players are in bad shape at
present, but they will probably get
into playing condition before the
game. Somehow, they always do,"
stated Wynne.
Acting on his disbelief in the re
ports, Wynne has been sending the
Creighton maulers through some
heavy workouts. Scrimmage and the
tackling dummy, which is the bane
of a grid star's existence, are promi
nent features of each night's workout.
Last night the team went through
the final scrimmage. Tonight the
workout will be light, for at 11 p. ra
the coaches, athletic director. Mascot
Jimmy Simones, and 22 of the players
will entrain for the Sooners’ battle
field.
Wynne spent much time last night
teaching the ends to use their hands
to avoid being blocked by the oppo
nents’ interference. This was the
only flaw in the playing of the Hill
toppers against the Coyotes. He also
sent the backs through practice at
breaking up passes.
With the exception of minor in
juries the team Is In good condition.
Captain McAleer and Johnny Bertog
lio are both nursing light eharley
horses, Dan Powers has a slightly in
jured ankle and Gayer has a bruised
knee. The team will probably be
lined up in its strongest possible com
bination when it faces I e SooWers,
with no first-stringer on the bench.
Giants Seek Change
in Series Rules
New York, Nov. 22.—The New
York GiantH will ask the joint major
league gathering at Chicago next
month to change the world series
regulations whereby expenses of the
annual classic will be deducted from
the gross receipts and before any
division among players, advisory
council or clubs is made.
1 This announcement was made yes
terday by Secretary J. J. Tierney,
who said the Giants had the support
of the New York Yankees in the
plan.
The suggestion is an outgrowth of
the situation In 1922, when the two
Gotham clubs lost money In conduct
ing the five-game series won by the
Giants. This was due chiefly to the
distribution to charity by Commis
sioner Landis of about $120,000, the
receipts of the tie game.
Competing clubs now pay the
series expenses out of their respec
tive shares. Under the proposed
method, expenses would be taken out
first and the remainder of the money
divided on a net, instead of gross
basis.
Wines for Athletes.
Paris, Nov. 22.—Light wines and
beer will form part of the menu
served to the Olympic athletes of na
tions electing to house their teams
In the Olympic village being erected
near the Colombes stadium.
The Americans have reserved ac
commodations for some of their
team at the Olympic village.
Corbett Dies in Sydney.
.San Francisco, Nov. 22.—W. F. Cor
bett, editor of the Sydney Referee and
one of the best known Rporting writ
ers of the world, Is dead, according
to word reaching here from Sydney.
Corbett made a number of visits to
the United States, the last being on
the occasion of the Jeffrles-Johnson
fight at Reno.

go back to the old practice of alternating
Thomas and Zorn to pound the Cardinal
line Abbott will probably start at quar
ter and King at center.
The Minnesota scrubs using Wolverine
plays continue to bother the varsity, and
the coaches are working hard to build up
the defense. All the regulars who started
In the Iowa dash are In fine shape, and
the same lineup will probably be used
Saturday.
Michigan Conches are taking no chances
on eleventh-hour injuries, consequently
practice Is confined to kicking, passing
and signal drill. Hlnce Vick has been put

the flank.

"He’s killed five ducks since Sep

ducks. The wind blew them to the
opposite shore—whereby another

them up, bowed, smiled his thanks

Head of Maroon Eleven With
Srhool 33 Years—Team
Ranks First.
Chicago, Nov, 22.—After 33 years
coaching fcothall at one spot, ihe
University of Chicago, Amos Alonzo
Stagg, 62 years olj and still fighting,
stands out today. In the opinion of his
admirers, as the miracle man of the
western conference In producing
teams that lead the "big ten" with
the highest average In the table of
games won and lost since 1913.
Selection of 1913 as the year for
compilation of the records was made,
Stagg s admirers said, to clear up a
controversy raging over the perform
ances of Jack VVilce, coach at Ohio
State, and Itobert Zuppke, coach at
the University of Illinois, whose ad
mirers claim Ihe highest honors for
them. Both Zuppke and VVilre came
into the i, western conference as
coaches that year.
Since 1913, the Maroon teams
whipped together by Stagg have
crashed through opposing teams for
3S victories out of 58 starts—17 games
were lost and three were tied—for a
percentage of .691 compared with the
records of teams developed by VVilce
and Zuppke.
The Ohio elevens rank second to
the Maroons with 27 victories out of
42 games, with Illinois third. Tho
Buckeyes have won 27 games, lost 11
and were tied in one, while the Illini
won 32, lost 17 and were tied In five.
To clarify reports published about
big ten conference records since
Coaches Zuppke and Wllce started
their conference careers, the athletic
department of the University of Chi
cago Issued this statement:
Mariams Top 10-Year Percentage.
"Whether the Maroons win or lose
from Wisconsin this Saturday, they
will top the percentage column as
the leading football team in the big
ten conference since 1913. when rt^ach
Zuppke started his career at Illinois
and Conch Wllce his at Ohio State.
During the past 10 seasons, exclud
ing SA. T. C. year, when conference
rules were suspended and several of
the schools disrupted Hnd members of
the teams sent to the training camps,
Chicago has won 38 big ten football
games, lost 17 and lied 3 and now
heads the big ten football conference
percentage column with .691. Ohio
State, with .658. is Chicago's closest
rival, while Illinois with .653 and
Michigan with .600 are third and
fourth respectively. M.nnesota leads
Wisconsin with .558 while Wisconsin
is .537.
Northwestern, Purdue, and In
diana have won less than half of their
games. If the Maroons win
from Wisconsin Katurday, they will
rank as the only team that has won
nearly 70 per cent of its conference
games since 1913. If Illinois wins
from Ohio Saturday, Illinois will rank
second to Chicago and Ohio will drop
to third position.
“In the last three years the Ma
roons have lost to two conference
teams, losing to Ohio State in 1921
and to Illinois this year."

New York. Nov. 2£ —Last minute
lineup revisions are expected to fore
tell the type of play the Navy will
employ against the Army when the
two service elevens meet In the 26th
game of the bristling series at the
Polo grounds Saturday.
The middle lineup has rival candi
dates for several positions, with one
group functioning better on offensive
and another which shines in defen
sive play. Taylor and Brown, ends,
and Barchet, fullback, are ineluded
in the former group and Caldwell and
Burnett, ends, and Khapley, fullback,
are included In the latter.
Because the cadets show a supe
rior offensive record many students
of football assert Navy's best plan
of action will be that of defensive
play. Notre Dame proved the only
team to entirely check Army's offense.

Packers Prepare
for Norfolk Game
Coach Patton Is putting his South
High grldaters through stiff prac
tice this week in preparation for the
Norfolk game this Friday.
Hard lu<^< has again hit the team.
Gilbert Kurtz, mammoth guard, suf
fered broken hones tn his shoulder
in the Council Bluffs game and will
he out of the lineup the rest of the
season. Hnooky Wedberg, husky
regular tackle has not reported to
school this week on account of ill
ness, and therefore will not be In
the moleskins Friday. Kalstron, regu
lar guard, may be shifter! to tackle,
and 8. Katiman may play guard.
Coach Patton a aggregation will,
therefore, start the game Friday
minus the services of three regulars,
-—---— ■ ■ a a
namely. Town send, \V editors and
Kurt*.
Hitts Clark, erstwhile suhback,
may call the signals next Friday, In
case Russ Graham 1* Injured again.
Clark has shown so much Improve
ment In his playing that Coach Pat
ton is probably sorry that Clark is a
senior, for Clark tvould make an able
successor to young Graham at quar
ter.
This game is the last one to he
played out of the city by the Packers
and the team is out to win It. The
last game of the season will be plajed
a week from Friday with Thomas
