MICHIGAN MAY

Student Body and Athletic Directors
Sore Over Continued Eligibility
Squabbles.
BY LOREN ROBINSON.

ANN ARBOR, Nov. Sentiment
ON the campus al Ann Arbor Is
against continuing athletic relations
with Notre Dame This feeling has
been growing steadily during the last
two or three years thar the Catholics
have been playing the Michigan
teams and the recent agitatlon over
the inelgi bility OF certain Notre
Dame players has revived the feeling
There has always been some ques
ton as 20 the scholastic standing or
the members OF the Indiana teams
and several times authorities OF other
schools have protested against diff
ferent players. Michigan has had
more than her share OF the trouble
and the student body is against hav-
ing further relations with Notre
Dame.
At the time OF the Notre Dame
game last year the authorities enter

Notre Dame players AS the Wolver-

olics have been pleasant. In base

/ bad feelins. Nearly every game for
| the past two years has been the
scene OF some unsportsmanlike dis
| turhance and in one or two cases the
quarrel ended in fight. An official
at one OF these games was struck by
+ Notre Dame player and the act oc'
casioned a great deal OF comment
! throughout the country. In all of the
squabbles the Catholics have been
/ the aggressors. Now the whole OF
Ann Arbor calls for a disseminating

As yet no Official announcement OF
| severing OF ties had been made but
the directors OF the association hold
about the same opinion as the stud
ents and they will no doubt deliberate
for a long time before signing a new
contract. At present they are only

eligibility rules at Michigan. The
agreement this year was that the
games should be played under Mich

There Is nothing small about little
Owen Bush except his size. Ihe
Rabbit has mind as big as all out

There have been rumors all during
the season now past about differences
between Cobb and Bush. yet the lead

TOR Cobb.
A crowd was tanning at baseball
headquarters couple OF days ago
when Bush switched onto sliding.
Now. the slide is one OF the chief
things TO be desired in base running
and one OF the hardest TO acquire.
Good sliders seem born and not made.

Hugh Plans Sliding School.
Speaking about sliding. Hugh Jen-
nings is going TO have a school for
sliders when the Tigers train in the
spring. Hugh has IL all figured out.
Sliding is one of the most neglected
of arts. For some unexplainable reason
sliding is supposed TO be one of the
things ball player learned while in
the minor leagues AS a matter OF
fact most of them never had any in
struction and always have tried to
hit the ground in a way that will do
them the least damage and let il go
at that.
There are three kinds of slides

his left leg beneath him and throws
his body away from and in front of
the baseman. touching the bag with
the right foot only. To get away on
the outside the runner bends the right
leg under his body throws himself to-
ward the outheld and touches the bag
with the tip OF his left toe. In both
instances the baseman had one leg

Jinmy McAleer, manager OF the

Here's a fine tale of woe from the
Philadelphia North American
Apparently a hoodoo hangs over
the Phillies.
Nothing goes right
There are enough National League
partisans in Philadelphia 10 make the
local club a great investment II IL
could only be properly handled, but
year after year something goes
wrong.
No matter with what promise the
season is started, the finish is always
disaster
John |. Rogers didn't want to win
pennants. Arthur Irwin, one Of his
managers, is responsible for this
statement. When one or more men
would have strengthened the club
and given il the additional strength
to land 1t in first place, Mr.. Rogers
blocked the deals, believing that a
second place had better money max
ing personalities than pennant
winner.
During the long Rogers regime
there were many great teams. The
lineup OF 1900 and 1901 has perhaps
never been surpassed in hitting, field
ing and pitching strength. Every
man who went away became a great
star Some of them helped win pen
nants elsewhere. but no flag ever
came to the Quakers.
The club passed TO the syndicate
headed by James Potter twenty-five
Philadelphians. animated by no other
motives than sportsmanship, took
over the team. The plan seemed an
ideal one. There was money in back
OF the new ownership. A host Of
enemies turned 10 friends.
But only disaster followed the
change OF ownership. thinner fizzled
as a manager Duffy did little better,
and Murray, fought for by half doz-
en- teams, while he worked an i'm
provement, could not make the Quak-
ers run one, two.

in the ridiculous Donlin incident,

Mr. Fogel had many friends, a big

tons and finished fourth, and TO add

he can come past in front with less
liability TO being tagged. The chief
object being TO reach the base from
such an angle that the baseman VIII

The straight.in slide is used only
occasionally or because the runner
doesn't know how TO getaway and Is
valuable when speed alone will reach
the desired base. Sometimes man
slides head-hrst when he goes into
second on a throw from left field or
from left center. but the head-trst
thing is practically useless when the
ball comes in front of the baseman
and he can face the runner as he
reaches for II.

Manager Jennings plans 10 AK up

OF the ole bows in the noble art OF
presenting 70 the baseman as little

of the Maps. is out with the announce
ment that he will conduct his own
sliding school, as he considers himself
particularly weak in that respect.
IL ought to be pretty easy for Jen-
nings 70 instill knowledge of sliding
into the Tigers because Ty Cobb can
serve as a good example Hugh can
take the other fellows. line them up
and tell Ty to slide. Then he can
yell
Good boy, Ty, see what you can do
Bill. Then Bill will hit the sand
heap and the instruction can proceed.
Really. il is one of the best ideas OF
the season and Jennings school prob
ably will find many imitators among
major league managers who have
overlooked this important part OF
baseball. Jennings ran such a school
in the gymnasium at Cornell, using
wrestling pads instead of sand and ii
worked.
Knowing how 20 slide ought to get
the Tigers a lot OF extra bases and
incidentally preserve no end of skin
which might otherwise be scraped of
