BEZDEK'S PENN STATE ELEVEN
IS TRIUMPH OF COACHING
Essence of Its Great Success Is Getting the Jump on the Defensive
and It Certainly Gets That Jump.
BY L. H. GREdORY.
COULD Hugo Bezdek's Penn State
eleven beat California? Every
body on this coast who follows
football Is wondering about that. And
everybody who saw the marvelous at
tack' of the Nittany lions in that
game against Washington at Seattle
Saturday would mortgage the old
homestead for railroad fare to at
tend the meeting for whatever the
outcome, it certainly would be a spec
tacular and thrilling battle.
California beat Washington 72 to 3
and Penn State won only 21 to 7. But
comparative scores mean little. Wash
ington, playing on her home field,
had a vastly better team Saturday
than the eleven that fell before Cali
fornia. Nevertheless, If we were Judging
the lions solely on the basis of their
showing against Washington, won
derful as was their attack, we would
pick California to win. Penn State
would be almost certain to score once
or twice or three times, because on
a dry field that Bezdek attack would
score on any team in the world. But
what probably would give California
the edge eventually would be the
terrific battering her line and par
ticularly her ends would give the
Penn State line and backfield men.
Those California ends would slow
up any backfield man after they
had hit him a few times. And the
Penn State line as a whole compares
badly with the California line. On
the defense it was anything but
bombproof, even against Washington.
These remarks, be It understood,
are made eolely on the basis of what
Penn State showed against Washing
ton. It is Impossible to judge any
eleven from only one game, and very
apparently Penn State wasn't at the
top of her stride against Washington.
"I saw the Penn State boys beat
the Navy," said Louis H Seagravc,
who used to be & Washington football
captain under Dobie, "and they hard
ly looked like the same team at Se
attle. The wonderful fight and snap
that characterized their playing
against the Navy was considerably
lacking against Washington, and that
despite the remarkable work of their
backs Saturday. That is hardly to
be wondered at, for after going
through so hard a playing season as
Penn State has, any team is bound to
let up. It Isn't In human nature to
keep at top tension all the time. Their
line work against the Navy certainly
was good.
"I would say that against the Navy
Penn State was at least three touch- !
downs better than against Washing
ton Saturday."
Coming from a coast man, that is
a very generous summing up, indeed.
Also it shows that Bezdek and his
players weren't aliblng when they
said after Saturday's game that they
were not In anywhere near the form
of earlier in the year.
"Somehow the boys just couldn't get
to going as they did against Harvard."
said CJuarterback Kllllnger, and he
was serious about It, too. "I couldn't
get started myself."
Inasmuch as that young man made
only 165 yards from scrimmage with
out being able to get started, we'd
like to see him ram the California
line some afternoon when he felt
really good.
So, considering all the angles and
that Penn State unquestionably can
show much more than It did show at
Seattle, a game with California would
be one of the football contests of the
century. And the Penn State eleven
plays Just the kind of game that would
beat California, if anything could.
Given the defense of a line such as
Oregon had In 1916 Bezdek's present
backfield, playing its present form of
Bezdek attack, would beat any foot
ball team anywhere.
The Penn State eksven is a triumph
of coaching. It Is not the material
that has made it. for some of Its line
men, are decidedly mediocre, but
purely and simply the coaching. Bez
was a great coach when he was at
Oregon, but he has grown and devel
oped since then in a way that sur-l-rises
even his closest frienda
His present offensive is based on his
old plays, but they have been polished
and revised until they are hardly rec
ognizable. Not only are they run off
at amazing speed, but almost every
play has a double deception. To the
intricacy of the play itself is added
a "suck" that in spite of themselves
pulls the defensive side out of place
and opens holes.
His attacking formations have half
a dozen variations in which the threat
of a fake is combined with that of
direct attack.
For Instance, the man who gets the
ball on a direct pass from center for
Bezdek's whole attacking game is
built around the direct pass and speed,
speed, speed will hold himself Just an
instant while he fakes a start at one
point, then plunges in another direc

r
tion behind beautiful interference. Or
the direction first threatened will be
followed. Or the fake will develop
into a short, fast criss-cross in which
one of the halfbacks swings around,
takes the ball and smashes through a
hole in the line. Or the man with the
ball will hold it out as if for the
halfback to take it in this criss-cross,
but Instead will run with it himself.
And all these plays are carried
through at such amazing speed that
the opposing side is bewildered and
swept aside. The essence of its suc
cess Is getting the Jump on the de
fensive, and it certainly gets that
jump. This Penn State Bezdek team
is a machine that works like a high
speed automobile engine. Its r. p. m.
are up in the thousands.
Bezdek left Oregon five years ago
because he had so good an offer to
become manager of the Pittsburg
Pirates in the National league that he
simply couldn't refuse It. He was a
success as a big league manager, too
such a success that since he left
the Pirates two or three other big
league teams have tried to get him
But he never will manage a baseball
team again.
"It nearly killed mei" said Bez.
smiling that broad-mouthed' Bez smile
so well remembered at Oregon. "I
couldn't get it out of my head that I
must fight for every baseball game
as I would fight for a football game.
That meant concentrating 15 or 20
football seasons into one baseball
schedule of 154 games anid It couldn't
be done. It nearly killed me and my
nerves went plumtb to smash.
"I have had my fling at the big
league stuff and I have had all that
kind of glory that I want. Now I am
ready to settle down and grow old In
peace and quiet. (If anybody can
Imagine Hugo Bezdek growing old In
peace and quiet!) I made my start
here In Oregon and I love this state.
I certainly love It. Mrs. Bezdek loves
It as I do. It is the place of all
places for people to live. And some
day we are coming back here with
our family and settle down."
He is the same old Bezdek, is Bez,
that he always was. though a Bezdek
defined in the crucible of life. The
hot fires of his youth have burned
lower but they have not burned out.
The years that are graying his great
thatch of yellow hair also have soft
ened his fiery spirit and he has
broadened and grown as a man just
as he has broadened and grown as a
football coach.
Part of his philosophy of life is to
make men as well as football players
and he does. No doubt he got that
idea first from his old coach and
teacher, Stagg at Chicago. But he
has Improved on it, has Bez. The
same personality that makes men
jump at his word in football makes
him Just as much a leader off the
football field. And when one sees
how his players Idolize him, how
much they think of his good opinion,
how he has drilled into them the im
portance of character while he Is
drilling them in football plays, one
realizes what a tremendous factor he
Is In making real men of young col
legians. Dick Harlow, Bezdek's assistant
football coach at Penn States has a
hobby most unusual for a football
coach. Harlow Is an expert ornitho
logist and a collector of bird's' eggs.
He has what is said to be one of the
five best egg collections In the United
States.
Every winter after the football sea
son, and following football practice
in the spring, which he directs, Har
low travels to some wild place and
for w;eeks at a time pursues his studies
of bird life. For several years he
has made such a pilgrimage to the
bleak wastes of the Labrador coun
try. There he stays, undergoing ah
k ide of hardships, all for the sake
of his hobby.
This football trip west is Harlow's
first visit to the Pacific coast and
now he wants to come out here and
devote a spring to prospecting for
birds' eggs in the Cascade mountains.
Harlow is particularly Interested in
the "camp robber" Jay of the north
west and was inquiring all about this
uira or me uregun aiumni ne met. at
Seattle.
Harlow ought to get in touch with
Professor John Bovard, dean of the
school of physical education at Ore
gon. Professor Bovard is something
of an ornithologist himself. The two
of them could have a whale of a time
chasing eggs and exchanging nests.
At Saturday's football game in the
Washington stadium at Seattle, a
University of Washington youth with
a megaphone was stationed on the
sidelines to call the plays. He in
variably called them wrong.
"Redinger five yards through right
tackle," he would shout, when Red
inger really had made the particular
play through left tackle.
That blunder of calling the play
wrong is common In the high schools.

I d even In the colleges. It is due
..ot to defective eyesight, but to mis-
I apprehension of the facts. The mis
take lies in calling the play as If it
were made through the attacking
back's own line, instead of through
the opposing line. Thus when a half
back crashes five yards through a
hole made, say, by his own right
tackle and end, the play is through
the opposing team's left tackle. But
the collegians usually call it as
though right tackle, because they get
their bearings from the right side of
their own line.
Just a little point but one of those
points that gives an entirely wrong
summary of how a play was made.
A gain always should be recorded as
made through the opposing team's
line, not through the line of the at
tacking eleven.
Little Ray Eckman, the 160-pound
halfback and Washington captain,
wound up his collegiate football ca
reer by playing the game of his life
Saturday. If he had weighed 200
pounds he couldn't have played bet
ter. Not once, but several times, he
cut off Penn State touchdowns by his
unerring tackling of runners who
had got past the secondary defense
and were bearing down on him as
safety. He never missed. And once
when a Penn State man was across
the goal line and directly under a
forward pass, with no other Washing
ton man near him, Eckman made a
running leap and spilled the ball.
Then it was his offensive work
that gave Washington its only
touchdown. In eight plays from the
30-yard line, where Penn State had
fumbled, Eckman carried the ball
seven times and every time made
yardage, the last time crashing four
yards for the touchdown. After the
game ended the Washington rooters
rushed on the field and carried Eck
man off on. their shoulders, and it
was a tribute that was mighty well
deserved.

Boston Feather Believes in

TRIP TO MANILA PLANNED
Meeting With Ad Macke at Armory
Tomorrow Night to Be Last
Bout Before Leaving.
BY DICK SHARP.
Freddie Williams, the Boston
featherweight, who meets Ad Macke
of Portland In the ten-round main
event of tomorrow night's boxing
card at the armory, is an industrious
youngster, and does not depend upon
the boxing game to earn a living.
Immediately after his match with
Danny Edwards in Milwaukle, Will
lams got busy and hunted a Job. He
is a shoe salesman and had little
trouble lining up a position. Will
lams did not lay off to condition him
self for his matches with Nlel Zim
merman and Macke, doing his train
ing at night and selling shoes by day.
It worked a handicap on him as he
lacked sparring partners, but Freddie
does not believe in lying around and
getting rusty. If all boxers were as
Industrious and carried themselves
In the manner that Williams does
there would be few complaints about
the fistic game.
His fight with Macke tomorrow
night will be his final go before sail
ing for Manila. Williams will leave
for Vancouver tomorrow night and
sail Thursday for the Islands. He
has a contract calling for three scraps
in the Philippines. Ancll Hoffman,
formerly a Sacramento boxing pro
moter, and Georgie Lee, the Chinese
bantam, will accompany Williams on
the trip. Lee also is signed for three
fights.
Jimmy Darcy writes that he is get
ting plenty of action in New York
and has several matches In view. His
next start will be against Dave Ro
senberg, at Madison Square garden.
December 16. Rosenberg is the
Brooklyn battler who won an eight
round decision over Bert Collma last
week; If Darcy gets over him he will
get a main event at the garden in
the near future.
Lee Anderson and Jim Barry will
box ten rounds at Tucson, Ariz., to
morrow night.
The boxing fans are looking for a
good hard tustle between Williams
and Macke. If the fight is no better
than their last mill at Milwaukle the
patrons will" be well repaid.
The six-round seml-windup between
Sammy Gordon and Mike De Pinto is
coming in for a lot of attention. Gor
don is one of the most popular local
scrappers and has never failed to
put up a good fight. De Pinto has
been coming along at a fast clip of
late. Gordon will be the first boy
he has met at his weight in some
time.
Mickey Dempsey, the youngster
with a k. o. wallop, may not find easy
pickings in his fracas with Young

and is a tough customer.

Anderson and Barry have met on
former occasions. Barry winning ail
of the starts.
George Eagles, California light
weight, who has been fighting In the
east for the past six months, made
a big hit in Philadelphia the other
night when he beat Eddie Wagond In
eight rounds. Here Is what one of
the Philadelphia critics had to say
about Eagles: "George Eagles, a
slightly-built Callfornian, as sharp
eyed as a bird of prey whose name he
bears, gave a masterly exhibition In
boxing rings around Eddie Wagond
In a bout that went the entire eight
rounds. Eagles is a perfect marks
man, and he was able to reveal the
brilliant accuracy of his blows
against the onrushlng Wagond.
Eagles stood at all times within hit
ting distance of his opponent, but try
as he did the slugging boxer could
not lodge his blows on the slippery
Callfornian. Eagles picked off right
uppercuts, left Jabs, right crosses to
the Jaw and blows to the body with
fascinating ease. His cleverness put
the crowd in an uproar. Wagond left
the ring with a cut over his left eye
as a result of one of Eagles' right
uppercuts In the fourth round.
Wagond weighed 137 pounds and
Eagles scaled at 135.

While announcement made by Miss
Fanny Durack, formerly Australian
champion swimmer, that she will
essay a "comeback," has aroused a
mild interest in aquatic circles, It
cannot be said that anyone very se
riously entertains the idea that she
will succeed in her venture. The old
adage that "they never come back."
has had so few exceptions that It is
not expected she will prove one of
his number. While it may not be en
irely gallant to comment on a lady's
ige, still we are forced to the state
ment that Miss Durack is no longer
ciulte as young as she was some years
ago. Some years ago Miss Durack
had the opportunity of competing In
this country when she was at her
best and undoubtedly could have car
ried off many of our records. She
made the trip here from Australia,
but because she chose to be tempera
mental, not to say sulky, she refused
to be entered in various events, and
her great chance forever was loot.
The barring "for life" recently In
New York of a wrestler from again
appearing in any matches brings to
mind the fact that no tears would
1 e shed if the same action was ap-
rlied to a number of other profes
sional athletes in various forms of
pctlvity. vVe refrain from mention
ing any names, but we have In mind
a farmer living in Kansas, and an
Ethiopian recently a guest of the

Middleweight Floored by

Martin Fsraquar. given an Inher
ited name, was Induced to accompany
a party of those who would bag the
elusive mallard and canvasback sev
eral weeks ago. Martin was not par
ticularly enthused about It owing to
the inclement weather, but fell be
fore the arguments advanced on the
wonderful kick obtainable from the
outdoor pastime of bagging them on
the wing. Tho party reached the
lakes somewhere In the Willamette
or Co'.unVbla Marty doesn't remem

breakfast or anything oif warming or
, body-building qualities.
A rich fog lrung over the lakes and
i surrounding swamp. The breeze
whistled despondently through the
I sparsely leaved trees. A steady dris-
xle punctured the foreboding atmos
phere. The boys donned their hip
boots and slickers, apportioning out
a like outfit to.Marty. They then set
out on the still hunt. The next thing
Marty knew he was all alone In the
world; at least, as far as he could
determine The double-barreled, double-triggered
blunderbuss that had
been thrust in his none too willing
hand's was his sole company. All
that he had ever pictured about duck
hunting arose in his mind. He cursed
the moment of weakness In which he
had consented to try his luck.
The drix-tle developed into a healthy
rain, the swirling fog rose and the
breeze became a wind. Marty be
came further uncomfortable. He was
hungry, thirsty, wet. freezing and
thoroughly disgusted. Suddenly a
sound of flapping wln-gs smote his
ears. The vision of a flock of ducks
crashing down upon his head roused
Marty into action.
On his guard, he peered heaven
ward. His eyes met a sure-enough
tangent of ducks. He seised his gun
to do his duty. He pulled one of the
triggers. Bang! The kick nearly
floored him. A fincer caught between
the triggers and he could not wrench
it loose. Ducks were forgotten, the
rain was forgotten, the tardy break
fast was dismissed, in his panicky
effort to extricate his wayward digit
from the gun. He succeeded and
hurling the weapon to the ground
he bore himself back to camp, routed
out one-half dosen eggs, a pound or
two of bacon, put on some coffee and
let the rest of the world go by. Finis.
