Those Conversion Points
; 1 The fellow who does the kicking customarily Rets all of the
laurels in the conversion after touchdown department, but the
two others in the trio should not be ignored. They are highly
essential and if one of them fails the kicker is out of luck. In a
discussion concerning the extremely important single point de
partment, Jimmie Nicholson, who did a lot of gridiron chores
iet Salem High and later at the University of Oregon, pointed
out the important part of the center and the man who places
the ball down play in the effort. All the kicker has to do is to
follow through with his foot, something on the order of a good
golf swing, explained Nicholson. If the center cuts loose with
a. poor pass or the receiver fails to place the ball at the right
angle, then the kicker has trouble booting the uigskin through
the uprights. And the placer-down doesn't have more than a
fraction of a second to get the ball in position either, what with
a couple of husky ends bearing down.
Brown Pays Tribute

t that of Connie Mack in the matter of years, iook time out

Western International officials were smart in deciding not
to np the price of tickets for 1950 games. Fans are finding
that it takes a pretty thick roll to satisfy the demands of the
tax collectors, the butcher, the clothier and the grocer. They
would most assuredly resent an Increase in admission costs
to the various parks. Another smart performance was the
elimination of the post season playoff. The primary ob
jective of this series of games was to provide the players
with additional funds, but attendance has not tastified the
experiment, principally because interest drops to the sero

The suspension was for paint

Tuesday afternoon. The swift

also made restitution, he said,

Coach Says 'Little
Gone from College Grid
By OSCAR FRALEY
United rreae Sparta Writer
New York U.R Art Guepe,
who once played a lot of foot
ball for Marquette and now di
rects the gridiron destinies of
Virginia, asserted today that his
club's rousing 26 to 14 upset of
mighty Penn proved that there
are no more "little schools" in
college football. -
Guepe, an iron-hard little
man who played in a backfield
which included Ward Cuff of
pro fame, pointed to the way his
undefeated Cavaliers had barely
squeaked past Miami, O., 21 to
18, and then ran roughshod over
highly-regarded Penn.
"Miami never has been
ranked as a major team but
there aren't many teams in the
east or south who could beat
them," Art insisted.
For more proof, he added, look
at the way Kentucky barely
bested Cincinnati, 14 to 7, and
Pittsburgh had a tough time with
that same Miami team from the
midwest before winning out,
35 to 26.
"If you dig for the answer,
you'll find It comes from the
high schools of the nation,"
Guepe said. "There are so
many well-trained men who
have taken the college physical
education courses that all of
them can't find college coach
fair jobs. So they go into high
school work.
"That means that the high
schools are playing better
