WELCOME CENTENARY!
Today, we greet our Shreveport
friends. After a lapse of eleven years,
the Gentlemen of Centenary and the
Green Wave are back at the football
wars together.
,
·
It is the occasion of a visit from hun
dreds of our North Louisiana friends.
Scores of our own Tulane alumni, too,
from Shreveport and that section of
Louisiana are with us to see the game.
So let's give a salute to Coach Curtis
Parker and his Centenary Gentlemen!
:(. :(. :(.
The Green Wave goes on the road
next week for the first outoftown
game of the year. The team will be
playing the Red Raiders of Colgate at
the Polo Grounds in New York.
5
This Raider-Wave rivalry has, in
four short years, become one of the
most colorful games in the national pig
skin picture. Some 51 ,000 New York
ers saw it in 1934 and are still calling it
the greatest thriller ever unwound in
the big stadium by the Harlem River.
Tulane opened the series at New
York in 1933 with a 7 to 0 victory,
thanks to the great 76-yard run by Little
Preacher Roberts. That marked 'the
first time in 18 games that Colgate's
goal line had been crossed.
The Chenango magicians evened the
count a year later in New York when
they put on the greatest hocuspocus ex
hibition ever seen on a football field to
administer the only defeat of 1934 to
Little Monk Simons and his gallant
mates. The score was 20 to 6.
Last year, Colgate came South to
play Tulane in the W aye's homecoming
game. Captain Barney Mintz was the
hero in the 13 to 6 Greenie triumph.
DOPESTER'S CORNER
Since Colonel Dingelhofer is still
away on a catfishing trip, we'll try our
hand again this week at selecting a few
Winners.

Newcomb Glee Club and Orchestra
Here we have a picture of the Newcomb
College (of Tulane University)
Glee Club and Orchestra.
The Newcomb Glee Club ofers, to
any girl who loves to sing, the opportunity
to participate in choral work of
high merit.
The organization numbers approximately
1 7 5 singers, or almost one-third
of the enrollment of Newcomb.
The club is dedicating its best eforts
this year to the Semi-Centennial Celebration
of Newcomb College. Much
beautiful music is being prepared for
presentation at both the Christmas and
Easter services. Other activities during
10
I
the year will include the Gilbert and Sul-livan
opera and the annual spring concert.
The Newcomb College Orchestra is
very generous in its ofer to Newcomb
students. Any girl wishing to learn to
play an orchestral instrument is given
free instruction at the School of Music.
No previous orchestral experience is
necessary. Participation in the work of
such an organization is of decided value
to the student.
Both organizations are directed by
Mr. Maynard Klein.

ROY L. ALCIATORE, Prop.
717 St. Louis Street
ret me tell you, brother, when you have a
famous eating place in New Orleans, it must be
some place because they do know how to eat,
and what to eat, and hospitality, and when you
s peak of Antoine's, you have reached the "Z"
and •·&" in alphabetical praise. Antoine's was
founded in 1840 and has never had to resort to
a jazz band. Imagine a restaurant existing and
making a worldwide reputation on just food.
My sombrero is tipped to Jules at Antoine's.

To Antoine·s-Specia11y Roy, from a Gourmand to
Gourmet. -Dolores Costello Barryntore.
Mny I say as everyone has said-"The finest foods in the
World." -Harry Richtnan.
Antoine cooks, like other cooks think they are cooking .
-Mayor Fiorello Laguardia.
'l'o Jules-A prince of good fellows, and the king of
good cookiug. -Robert L. Ripley.
What Jules cnn do to oysters and fish and various other
thing.; that make up a tneal is what the cooks tnust do to
them in heaven. -Irvin S. Cobb.
I have found a truly great restaurant in North America.

The Warner System
GlennS. "Pop" Warner, now head coach at Temple
has forty years of coaching behind him, yet he still
holds a place on top with the great strategians.
Warner, now halfway past the 60 mark, has coached
at Iowa State, Pit,t
,
!'burgh, Carlisle Indian School,
and St<1nfonl. iJuriug most of hi; coaching career
''Pop" has invented plays that were not goverued
by the regulations, and the rules had to be changed,
t,o the embarrassment of the :Football Rules Com·
mittee. He is credited, for example, with the "hidden
ball" play, which bafled Harvard one year.
But since the rules have been made iron-clad,
only one of Warner's innovations still remainsthe
so-called "Warner System."
W h i l e c o a c h i n g at
Pittsburgh, Warner arrived
at the idea of placing
both halfbacks outside
the ends. He had
been using a single wingback
with three other

ball. Such a thing hap-pened
when Stanford, a
perfectly timed outfit,
ran into a muddy field in
the 1934 Rose Bowl game
and lost to Columbia.
Warner, now in the
East, is one of the few
coaches in that sector
who still clings to the
double wingback alignment.
Most of the adherents
to his system
have found it expedient to concentrate on the single
wing because of the great effort required to master
the timing and complexities of the double wingback.
But his Temple eleven still goes through these
intricate maneouvres at top-speed, bewildering the
opposition with the crossing and criss-crossing of
the wing backs and running linemen.
With that system, Warner has had remarkable
success. In doing so, he has developed some of the
greatest players of the game. His system requires
a rough, tearing fullback. At Carlisle, "Pop" had
Jim Thorpe. Yes, the famous JIM Thorpe, the all.
around Indian athlete. At Stanford, he had the
man whom many-Warner himself never can agree
one way or the other- considered Thorpe's superior.
That was Ernie Nevers who this year is
coaching at Lafayette.
Incidentally, among Warner's innovations was
the use of flashy football pants. Those brilliant gold,
red and silver pants you see today, is a? idea started
by him at Stanford. He was the first to use colored
moleskins, outfitting his team with red pants.
Perhaps one story will serve to show what a
genius Warner is for devising new tricks to win
football games. This is one he won't admit, but it
comes from an authentic source:
Once he had a d,umh quarterback who neve knew
what play to use. So "Pop" invented the "pebbles
in the waterbucket" play. The crucial moment
arrived and the quarterback took time out as ha
been pre-arranged. In went the waterbucket with.
two pebbles in it, which meant a tricky reverse
play. The quarterback pulled a line b!lck,,and the
golden opportunity to score was gonJ!. After the
game, the hapless player found a waterbucket containing
two immense rocks standing in his locker.
Put there by whom? Guess.
The Jones System
This system can be summed up with two statements:
(1) Thoroughly grounding the teams in all fundamentals.
(2) Attacking powerfully at one point and then
striking at another point. In other words, masking
the attack.
The chief characteristics of the system built by
the man who has coached at Syracuse, Yale, Ohio
State, Iowa, and Duke, are a full team shift and
specialization for each position. The team is given
a signal of one number in a huddle by the quarterback
and on the first shift it goes into a tandem
formation of 4-4-3. On the second shift, the players
go into any one of a variety of nine formations.
The spacing between linemen, the placing of halfbacks
in the line and ends m the backfield, and the
jockeying of the backfield men into diferent setups
are features of the Jones system. Most formations
find the line unbalanced on the right with
the guards playing side by side. The guard playing
next to the center is the running guard.
Jones does not and never has employed the shift
to get momentum for the charge of his team. The
object of the shift is to cover up, as long as possible,
the formation so that the point it is centering on
or the eligible pass receivers must be :Ggured out
during the one second stop after shift by the defense.
In the J 0nes system, the quarterback is the key
man on all plays and must be a triple-threat. The
quarter does most of the ball carrying. Weak side
plays usually are spins or reverses. With Jones,
halfbacks are specialists in interference, and beca•
Jse they rarely carry the ball, they become experts
in blocking.
The deception of Jones' teams is not always
apparent to a casual observer as it lies not so much
in trick handling of the ball or deception behind
the line but in constantly changing formations and
in crossing up opposing linemen by hitting at the
same spots in different ways.
