HOT WORK BEGINS
FOR TECH TEAM
NEXT WEEK

Through the dark cloud Of gloom
which surrounded Techs football field
there have crept several rays of en-
cOuragement in this first week of prac-
tice At the beginning of the week
only Leuhrmann. Loeb and Cook were
slated to return, with a few 140-pound
second string men. The first practice
opened with an unusually large num-
Der of men on hand. and the number
has increased daily
The work has been fairly hard but
the warm weather workouts put the
cold weather bottom" to the whole
squad. and Coach Heisman is making
the whole bunch sit up and take no
tice
SO far there has been just bit OF
kicking. passing. falling on the ball and
going down under punts. but next week
tackling and signal practice will begin.
Just few minutes for review.
Loeb. of last years varsity, weighing
100 and good fighter from start to
finish. will play center.
Leuhrmann, weighing $50, captain
and four-year man, will play a guard.
Means. 175 pounds, last years var
sity, will play the other guard. Means
is a powerful man. and should break
things up in great shape this year
Elmer Will Come Back.
Elmer weight 1870, who played var
sity ball for two years, has decided to
return and will report next Tuesday.
He is bringing a man with him who
weighs 1870 and knows the tackle job
like a master. These men will look
out for the tackles.
Glover. 1855 pounds, all Wisconsin
prep end, will report Monday. This
leaves one end to be divided between
five or six good second string men. So
much for the line.
The back field deserves a mention
also. Cook. light, but two-year man
and very heady, will play one Of the
halves.
Piggy Johnson, quarter back of
the Doc" Wilson label. has finally
decided to come back, and will report
next week. This leaves the full back
and other half open. Hutton, who has
played good ball and is a back" will
be heard from
Just where the full back will come
from has not been decided. but Nc
Donald could fill the position very we'll
despite his lack Of weight He is a
good kicker. fast and heady.

ESPITE the frequency of its
appearance in the box score,
H. the balk is one of the un-
solved mysteries to the average
fan. II is about as mystifying as
the mumbled confab between ref
cree and boxers just before the
opening gong in all we'll regulated
bouts.
Spectators are not the only ones
IN dreadful darkness as to what
constitutes a balk, and why. I'm
p.res. players and rule makers
themselves are more or less at sea
regarding its exact limitations and
demarcations whatever they are.
If e pitcher has no motion" or
wlnd-up, he can hardly nope to sue
coed in big league time" The
movements Of his delivery are sup
posed to keep the base runner
guessing, and at the same time
must still be within the limits i'm
posed on baking.
Unless a pitcher can violate the
spirit of the balk rules without
transgressing the common inter
probation Of their wording, he has
lot to learn. Let any team fig
ure out a pitchers motion" so that
IT'S players can guess with any de
gree Of certainty when he is going
to pitch and when he intends to
throw to base and the men on
that team will steal bases with
comparative impunity.
Balk Is Mystery.
Sidestepping all the delicate
points and shades Of points on
which good authorities differ, there
is a great deal Of prevalent mys-
terry regarding the balk which can
b. dispelled. TO begin with, there
are nine kinds of balks. Probably
YOU thought a balk was simply a
bluff to pitch or to throw to a base
without going through with it.
Sometimes a bluff to throw to a
base is a balk and sometimes it is
not sometimes a bluff to pitch is a
baIk and sometimes il is not. Some
times to throw to a base is a balk,
and sometimes ball pitched
sQuarely over the plate without
any pause in the motion is both a
balk and a ball for The batsman.

Is a base runner, but some balks
are called balks il the bases are
empty Here are the nine ways of
making a balk:
Nine Ways To Make Balk.
l, The pitcher starts to de-
liver the ball to the batsman or
to throw to first base when
there is a runner on first base.
and does not complete the pitch
or throw unhesitatingly.
?. If the pitcher throws the
ball TO any base occupied by
runner and does not step di-
rectly toward that base making
the throw.
3. If the pitcher delivers the
ball to the batsman while either
foot is back of his slab.
4, If he pitches the ball with
out facing the batsman.

Balk, Hardest ''Play'' for Fans,
Is Explained by Expert Monty

. If he pitches the ball
without keeping one foot on
the slab.
6. If the pitcher holds the ball
so long that. in the umpire's
opinion, he is doing it to de-
lay the game.
Z. If the pitcher gets into
position to pitch without hav-
ing the ball in his possession.
3. If the pitcher makes any Of
the motions habitually used in
pitching to the batsman and
does not go through with the
delivery to the plate
9. If the catcher steps out
side the lines of his position
preparatory to receiving
pitched ball.
When a bak Is decided for apv
of these causes, every base runner
advances one base without iabil-
ity to be put out, because the de-
claring of a balk automatically
puts the ball out of play If there
are runners on third and first
bases. for instance. and balk is
made toward first both runners
advance one base. 1t is easy to
remember that every base runner
is entitled to one base on every
balk, but the batsman does not go
to first
The umpire is supposed to de-
clare a balk without being appeal
ed to. but he seldom has that
chance, for 100000 claims of balks
are made by the coachers for every
balk declared
The pitcher can not make balk
unless he is on the slab. A bluff
throw to first base is not a balk
unless first base is occupied. A
bluff throw to second or third base
never IS d balk, but if the pitcher
stands in his position and makes a
throw to any occupied base with
out stepping toward the base. il
is balk
Three Are Obsolete.
The fourth, sixth and eighth
ways of making balks practically
are dead letters The pitcher is
not required to face the batsman
all the time he is going through
his motions. No one recalls when
a pitcher was penalized for delay
ing the game. by holding the ball
while on the slab and every good
pitcher makes some of the motions
habitual to his delivery every time
he makes a throw to a base.
The third way of making a balk
is for the pitcher to start with
one foot behind the plate and take
two steps in his delivery. In the
detection of this kind of balk,
Clark Griffith is n worlds cham
pion. but he seldom gets them
called.
The first, second, seventh. eighth
and ninth ways of baking do not
affect the batsman. When the bases
are all empty and the pitcher makes
balk of the third. fourth. fifth
or sixth kinds the umpire calls a
bail. For instance, if the pitcher
takes two steps or fails to keep
one foot on the slab, il is a ball.
no matter it it is otherwise
perfect strike.
