Grover Cleveland Alexander and
George Chalmers, the star pitchers of
the Philadelphia club in the National

last winter. As a result their work
showed a great falling off. Not until
late in the race did they begin to dis
play any signs of their old time form
and then their pitching was far from
being the sensational brand of the sea-
son before. There are numerous other
cases that could be recalled.
zone of the many instances Of the
harm one of these trips may do, is
that of Tom O'Brien. This young man
was a member of the Pittsburg club
at the time Of the consolidation with
Louisville. He had developed rapidly
and was one of the most promising
first basemen at that time. O'Brien, in
fact. was a clever all-around play
with a great baseball future ahead OF
him. Hc went 20 Cuba and while on
the ship was seized with what seemed
merely q severe case of sea-sickness.

and all middle-West football critics
unite in declaring that the Wisconsin
team has deserN ed its hOnOrs by su-
periOrtty in every department Of the
game. Wisconsin has opened its games
with series of punts to develop its
opponents style. Following this, the
Cardinal team has played straight foot
ball hammering the opposing line be-
tween center and guard and tackle so
fiercely that the team has been forced
10 bring its backfieId up close to the
opportunity TO execute forward passes
for long gains and tOuchdOWns.
Tactics of this sort were bound to
win when executed by team as strong
a S the Wisconsins. The team numbered
many individual stars. such as Gillette.
its best asset is its perfect team work
and the training of the men in the ru-
diments of the game The men played
close to the ground and the runner ran
low, the players were drilled in tackline

legged rough playing in tackling Flynn,
the Yale fullback. He said:
Il was right on top of the play, for
Flynn had got around my end and 1
was following. He was perfectly
stopped, but still moving, when waller
jumped on him, just as any other de-
fensive player would have done. His
knee may have struck FIynns head,
