BROWN WHEN Red Grange was aoag Ing and slipping his way to football fame as a member of the University of Illinois team the worth of another member of the Illinl teams on which Red played was being hidden under a bushel In the shape of the halo woven about Grange's head. It wasn't until the last long cheer for Grange had died down that this other modest chap, Earl Britton, really received the credit due him as a player and for his part in enabling Grange to exer cise the uncanny football powers with which nature and Bob Zuppke had blessed him. And now, apparently, we have another Britton in the person of Bronke Nagurskl, the most talked of star of Minnesota U's powerful eleven. The sensational all around playing of Nagurskl In Minnesota's early games has brought showers of praise on the young man's head this despite the fact that he Is playing a posi tion strange to him. Heretofore Nagurskl played at tackle. And as Gopher adherents began to review the more recent games previous to this year they began to recall that It was often the gaping hole torn in the oppos ing line by Nagurskl that gave Herb Joesting, wonder fullback of Minnesota's team, a chance to tear through for heartbreaking gains. Nagurski's work was over looked then, all eyes were on Joesting. Then Joesting stepped out. Dr. C. W. Spears, Gopher coach, had to have a new fullback. Nagurskl was given a trial. Within a few weeks he has thrown a scare into Big Ten ranks with his battering, ram playing, his fleetness in cov ering passes, his elusrveness in open field running and his dead liness In defense play. Now Minnesota and grid fans who have followed the Gophers are asking Just how much of Na gurski's all around worth passed unnoticed while be was plodding along under Joesting's leader ship perfectly content to let the glory fall where It might.

W1IK' IN WEAR Predictions of High Achieve ments This Season Al ready Borne Out N. W. Conference Willamette 2 0 1 1 1 0 3 1.000 .500 .500 .500 .000 .000 Puget Sound 1 Pacific 1 Coll. of Idaho 1 Whitman 0 Linfield 0 Predictions were made at the close of the 19 27 football season that in 1928. football at Willam ette university would rise to heights that hadn't been reached in many years. Although the sea son is hardly well started, the correctness of these predictions has already been demonstrated. Willamette's eleven has won from College of Puget Sound rated at the beginning of the season as one of the strongest in the Northwest conference. In the first victory the local school has gained over the Ta.com a school in eight years. That much cannot be gainsaid even though the local Methodists shouldn't win another game all season. The predictions were based on the fact that this year Coach "Spec" Keene, in his third season at Willamette, would have his system firmly established and would have players available who had played under this system for two years. Even though there weren't as many veterans as a coach ought normally to expect, victory over Puget Sound was gained by putting these season ed players on the firing line. Game Played in Air Saturday's battle was waged largely in the ajr, and In this type of play Willamette showed' its superiority even though Puget Sound gained more yardage from forward passes. Coach Keene's men tried only six passes and completed four of them for a to tal of 81 yards. Puget Sound com. pleted five passes for 136 yards, but seven were incomplete and two were intercepted In situa tions which made loss of the ball costly. Willamette proved decidedly superior on running plays from scrimmage gaining 163 yards to the visitors' 102. Willamette made eleven, first downs, nine or them j nil rnnnlna- nlflvn inn1 Pnt on running plays alone; Sound made ten first downs, but ; only, six on running plays. But most Important of all, Willamette had the puneh when it came close .to the goal line, and an Impregnable defense when its own goal line was threatened. Hard.

J Ritticisms By BILL RITT A so is SOUTHERN football captain growing a mustache. When the opponents first saw it they thought it was a trick play. Football is now menaced by a wave of whiskers. In the old days all players wore cookie dusters. The A 11-American team looked like a set of hair brushes. Opposing linemen grabbed each other's beards and play didn't stop until someone yelled "Down J" or "Ouch!" The backfield looked like four men peering over a hedge. After the game the whole squad took a shower and a shot of in sect powder.

NKlIi Amociated Free Sports Writer NEW YORK, Oct. 29. (AP) Any idea that the National Boxing association is about to lose power because of dissension within its ranks or the withdrawal of Can adian and some eastern allies must be revised, according to Les lie E. Edmonds, executive secre tary of the Kansas State Athletic commission. Edmunds, chairman of the N. B. A's legislation committee anri a prime mover In the new regime, believes that instead of losing strength, the association actually has gained power by a combina tion of forces, especially in the middle west and south, now under the leadership of Paul Prehn of Illinois. Prehn Highly Landed Prehn was the candidate of the middleswestern boxing interests an a group, Edmonds points out in a statement to the Associated Press, outlining his view of events lead ing up to the recent N. B. A convention In Toronto. The association's refusal to ac cept Thomas A. Murphy, member of parliament and chairman of the Canadian boxing federation, as a presidential candidate, led to Cn- ada's withdrawal from the N. R A. and negotiations for an alliance with the New York State Athletic commission, representatives of ConnectMf Und New Jersey sat in on the negotiations. "I believe the men now in con trol of the N. B. A. will go for ward. Its principles are too im portant to permit the changes in personnel In member states to af fect its usefulness. As for the states that are supposed to con template secession, the N. B. A. i more Important to them than they are to It. "It will be amusing to us In the west who have pleaded and worked for Independence of the domination of the large eastern states to see the little fellows snuggling up to New York and taking orders as in the days be fore the N. B. A. was formed." Since Kansas joined the N. B. A., every state in the middle west with legalized boxing entered the association Edmonds said while "back east the little states are members, but New York, Penn sylvania and Massachusetts "pre fer to run their own affairs."
