COACHES SATISFIED.
With Development of Army Eleven
So Far.

WEST POINT, N, Y, November l.
The foot ball coaches are pretty well
satisfied with the development OF the
Army eleven thus far. and all their eff
forts now are devoted to keeping up the
steady advance of the players toward
the Navy game, three weeks hence.
The record of the Army eleven for the
season shows that it has scored fewer
points than any of the leading teams.
but 1t stands nearly alone in having a
clean slate on the defense. Nowadays
the best offense is a good defense. The
Army team has done only a little scor-
ing, but it has kept its goal Line un-
sullied. and preventing scores by oppo-
nents and grabbing opportunities are a
large part of the present game.
YaIe's defensive record is next best to
the Army's, for only one touchdown has
been made against the Blue. whereas
two or more have been made Against
Harvard, Princeton, Carlisle, Penn State.

vania.

carry it along. but if the pitchers are
no stronger than they were last year
and the hitting is not materially inn
proved there is but little chance for
higher position in the race.
But under Griffith there should be an
improved system by which the team is
conducted. and a greater display OF
energy and hustle than has been In
vogue here in recent years.
According to Tim Murnane, the sage of
Boston. Connie Mack slipped one over on
the Giants during the preliminary prac-
tice prior to the worlds series games, in
that he allowed his players to bat a lively
ball, and thus impress the Giants with
their clouting ability. Here is what Muir
name says:
Then came the batting practice. While
the Giants were meeting the ball fairly
well, there was little snap or apparent
confidence behind the driving. The Giants,
being rated as a heavy-slugging team,
who had furnished sound thrashing to
the best pitchers i'm the National League
it was very evident that McGraw's boys
were apphehensive of the Athletic pitch
ers, and were being coached to take their
time at the bat, wait out the pitchers and
be sure to meet the ball, the one object
being TO reach first base.
1T was much different with the Phila-
delphia men. With the exception of
Barry, every player gripped his long bat
at the extreme end and took healthy
swing at the ball, hitting freely and send
ing the ball to the limits of the field. and
several times into the bieachers in left
field
See those fellows hit the ball. re-
marked man sitting just back of the re-
porters' box. The New York players were
quick to note the free, offhand. long
drives of the Quakers, and 1t perhaps
never dawned on the Giants that Connie
Mack had furnished his players with a
much livelier ball than could be used
after the game started.
The balls used early in the season were
so lively that home runs We're an every
game occurrence. No less than seven
were made in one game at the South End
grounds at Boston. The balls furnished
for the Athletics practice had the same
old ring as the ones used early in the
season. and there is no doubt but what
the Athletic players were put wise to this
fact.
In batting the mental condition of the
ball player is of great importance, and
many causes may lead to poor form.
Worry will not only prevent a player
from doing his best, but may cause him
TO do his worst. for the fact Is ball
player will never regain his best form
during a batting slump without a good
est or change of clubs"

1t had been deemed policy to play had

Concerning the game scheduled for
Saturday between Johns Hopkins and
Virginia, the two schools have already
begun to entangle themselves in debate
over the eligibility rules. Virginia holds
that Hopkins has not held to the require
ments of the agreement between the two
universities when the game was arranged
for last spring. and has strongly init
mated that unless Hopkins lives up to
the agreement the contest Will not take
place.
The contention of the Virginia authori-
ties Is about as follows: When the game
between the two schools was scheduled
1, was stipulated in the agreement that
Johns Hopkins should live up TO the same
eligibility rules as those in vogue at Viz
einia. This Johns Hopkins has not done.
Virginia does not allow it's first year men

other college, and it does not play man

ton he is not allowed 10 represent Fir-

men On the Johns Hopkins team who
have played four years at other colleges
and there are others on ii who are enter
ing upon their first year at the insutu
ton Neither of the two practices Is con-
doned by Virginia.
Just what will be done by the two
schools in regard TO the matter Is Ques'
tionable. An effort will be made by the
Baltimore school to get Virginia to allow
il to use the team which il now has in
the field Irrespective of any rules which
IL does not enforce. Some of the Virginia
alumni have promised to intercede fot

Blue eleven is more than a match for the
