Captains of College Mines
Seem to Favor the
Banishing of Coach
from the Bench.

over the PLAYERS will all know that the
result Of the game was due to their Ell
forts. and not to help received during the
game from the more experienced profes-
sional coach.
Not ONLY does this plan put An added
responsibility on both the captains ana
the players. but il will mean that more
stress will he put on cooperation and
team play.
with this in view through the early
part Of the season the players will learn
10 depend on themselves and will develop
n greater feeling OF self-reliance.'
Harvard il not willing TO desert the
present system. d. j. p. Wingate, cap
tain of the nine. gave the following rea-
sons for his position:
There is no doubt that the coach plays
an important part in the games at pres
ent. but that part is I'm actual practice
more negative than positive.
ole takes part in the game more by
his steadying influence than by any real
part i'm the playing Of the game although
this statement must vary according to the
coach considered. and any coach has the
a way as TO turn the game into victory.
Personally | am not sure that the
change would be for the best. The cap
tain and players have responsibility at
present. and the influence OF the coach Is
I believe. for the best under the present
system
THE addition OF further responsibility
and direction of the game with no direct
ing eve upon the bench may sound wen
and be ethioally correct. but I think II -
contrary to the practical idea of baseball
as game and unnecessary at present.
Two games with the Philadelphia
American League team. the world
champions. and a game with the VIII
mington Tristate team, in addition 10
twenty-nine college contests. are on the
University or Pennsylvania baseball

That the worlds pole vault record Is
doomed 10 be broken this year by one
OF its athletes. is the assertion OF enthu-
siasts at Syracuse University. Tom
Kesve. the trainer. predicts that Curtis.
a sophomore. will do better than 10 feet
inches.

compete in intercollegiate contests, but

feated Wright. of Dartmouth, and Nag-
