'Ghost Gallops

trouser legs, climbed up his back,
got in his hair, i "-
. "This Is great," said the big guy
who 'was the center of attention.
"Never got into anything like ; it
before--worse than trying to car
ry the ball without interference.
The big guy was Harold "Red"
Grange. He was being smothered
by an army of small fry kids,
250 of 'em from 8 to 10 years old.
Eighteen years out of Illinois,
six years an alumnus of the Chi
cago B e a r s - the ' "Galloping
Ghost" had returned to football
as one of the "instructors of 'the
Chicago Sports " association, tour
ing the city's schools and teaching
kids how to pass, run, block and
tackle.: It's part of the program
it takes in all sports to make' the
city's youths ; physically fit and
well-equipped for athletics.
Now an insurance salesman.
Grange Is one of several other
sports figures helping out. Clad in
a sweat . shirt and faded green
trousers, Grange pied-pipered the
kids around the field, tripping ov

loving it. : J . ,

Stagg Says Secret Defense Beat Navyators; 60,000 to See USC-Tiger (Go
STOCKTON Calif, Oct. It
(-Veteran Coach Ames Alon
so Stagg disclosed today his Col-.
lege of the Paclfle team had em
ployed a highly, unorthodox
football defense as part of the
tactics that defeated the power-
ful Del Monte Nary Pre-Fllght
eleven here last Saturday. ,
The 1C-7 Pacific win was an .
upset i of the -first water - and
Stagg admitted he had never be
fore used such a defense In hit
S4-year coaching career. It fea-
tared a five-man . line and six
men deployed In unusual fash
Ion In the secondary.
The boys were a bit skeptical
when I first explained It to them
bat luckily everything worked
eat all right for us," he said.
Stagg started rehearsing bis
players In defense against the
T-formatlon expected to be used
by Southern California In the big
game In Los Angeles this Satur
day. Trojan formations were eat
lined yesterday by Stan's at
slstant, Larry Slemerlng, who .
scouted CSC last weekend la
San FXaaelftce. ' "
; The Pacific players came
through. , last week's contest
without serious injuries and the
same line-up will start against
Southern California.
LOS ANGELES, Oct.
The war cry of tht eld football
matter, Amos Alonso Stagg, will
be the magnet for the west
coast's biggest crowd here Sat
urday as his undefeated College
of the Pscif is team collides with
tht University of Southern Cali
fornia's untcered-on Trojans.
Sixty thousand or more may
watch - these two great elevens
settle the collegiate grid supre
macy of the far west. Inasmuch
as the Pacific Coast conference
has been split asunder by the
war, the winner " could be the
Rose, Bowl game's western rep
resentative, January 1. T
Fortunately for Stagg , and
Coach Jeff Cravath of SC, they
will have Just about full
strength for the combat. Indica
tions are that about ft per cent
of the marine trainees origin
ally scheduled to be taken from
both squads October It, will be
called to officer camps October
11. .: , -
- Bill Gray, formerly of Oregon
Stat. Is visiting his family In
Portland. Cravath, who was
quite a center at USC several
years back, says Gray Is the
best defensive snapper-back he
has ever seen. Coach Spike Nel
son of St Mary's Navy Pre
Fllght, formerly of Tale, also
tabbed Gray as a standout but
Southern California has Joe
Wolf, an expert pass defender,
to take Gray's place, and pass
defense Is highly Important when
yon are playing against Stagg.

to the' sidelines. He ran, punted
and passed until it was almost too
dark to see and until the shrill
yells from . the background were
noticeably hoarse. Then one little
kid waddled out on the field and
stood before him. He reached out
a dirty hand and touched Red's
arm. , . .
"Just wanta feel ya," mumbled
the tyke and scampered back to
the crowd.
Grange wiped a sleeve over his
eyes. Sweat must "have gotten in
to them. Or it could have been
tears. ; : 1 - y
" "Young America,' he smiled as
he walked away. v
Mystery solved by Joe Ly tie, .our Scio correspondent No, our
Bill Morgan is not THE Bill . Morgan of Oregon and marine corps
fame. Scio high's coaching job is a war casualty and, in lieu of a
regular coach, the said Bill Morgan, a high school senior is as
sistant student cdach as well as a member of the team." . . . "How
come Oregon was penalized that
add nine yards Saturday against
Willamette particularly so
since penalties are always gen
erally five or 15 yards?" we've
been asked. Here's how come:
No collegiate team can be pen
alized nearer its own goal line
than the one-yard stripe pro
viding the foul doesn't occur
on the one-yard line.- In the
Oregon case, the ball was on
the five when the" Armyducks
were called for offside. Result,
a four-yard penalty to the one
instead of tlje usual five-yard
jaunt. Tough one this particular
four-yarder, for the Navycats
had used up their four downs f JOE GORDON
and had Oregon escaped that penalty the Armyducks would have
taken over the ball on their own five. As it was Little Del Davis
bucked over for six points on the gifter . Should a collegiate
team be penalized within its own one-yard line, the penalty
snail te no more than half the distance to the goal. "Collegiate
is designated because high school football rules are somewhat
different No high school team shall be penalized at any time more
than half the distance to Its own goal no matter where the foul oc
curs So in either case a penalty may result in a toll of only half a
yard or even a foot We'll admit it does look rather odd to see where
a team was penalized nine yards, but hope we've .explained it ac
ceptably. y-: y,
Strictly Militarized, Those Armyducks
In cheeking over notes en the Saturday game we find one thing
completely overlooked, which if nothinr else at least tends to bear :
t Just now how militarized football teams can be these days. .
This In reference to the Armyducks when thev came mU th fold.
Usually the players gallop on single file while the crowd roars, but
iw so me .uucjcs. Jbea by the army band playing a stirring military
tune, the Ducks marched on but formally four abreast and in step
to a man. Big 268-pound tackle Captain George Patterson was squad
leader off to one side and barked the. "squad rights", etc. Reaching
the center of the field, they "right dressed" at arms length, whipped
off helmets in unison at a command from Patterson and then went
into warmup calisthenics. ,
Quite an impressive ceremony. The school's trainees, between "
Set and 160t of 'em, also came on In squads before breaking ranks
and hustling to the seats, and reminded of how the West Pointers
do It before an Army game.
An example of what transporting a football team can be like in war
lime was also in evidence Saturday as the Navycats traversed the
SO miles via tram, bus, private auto and hitch-hike. Two players and
a manager hitch-hiked and Jack Sias. who started at right end, bounced
around under the turtle-back of a coupe all the way.

Sports Rules
Used by Army
By WHITNEY MARTIN
NEW YORK, Oct. 19-(ff)-We
didn't know the army had athle
tic eligibility rules until Kirby
Higbe was banned as a ringer in
championship baseball game at
Fort Jackson.
It always our understanding
that if a soldier wasn't in the po
key or on KP or some other spe
cial detail he could do what the
other soldiers did, from playing
baseball to shooting "craps.
The reception center - team
had planned to get Higbe in the
lineup for Its big game with the
199th infantry, team, although
he was still on his induction
furlough and had never . so .
much as seen the reception cen
ter team, let alone played en It
There was a natural squawk
from the Infantrymen, with , the
result that Higbe just watched the
game, possibly wondering why on
earth he had cut short his fur
lough, which stni had a couple of
weeks to run. ' w
; This little - eligibility gremlin
which bobbed up at Fort Jackson
only serves to emphasize the
change in, or rather, the disap
pearance of, eligibility rules in
practically all fields of sports.
Only a couple of years ago a
youngster couldn't play on a big
college football team until his
history -had been traced back
to the cradle. They had resi
dence rules, and transfer rules,
and classroom attendance rules,
'and woe to anyone who at any
, thne had received as much as a
dime for using his athletle ssJH,
even If it was to win a ple-eat-
' ing contest.
Now what happens? A' high
school graduate can matriculate
at a big school and immediately
