THIS STATE Is
HOME OF YEARS
FINEST BACKS

Even IL Michigan does defeat Cor
nell, Saturday. the end OF the 1914
season will find the west second best
In the intersectional encounters. But
there Is one honor that the east Will
have TO concede to the west. and the
Wolverine state will have an iron
clad. padlocked monopoly on that
particular distinction.
The state OF Michigan has furnish
ed football its two finest halfbacks
OF the year. That fact was suspected
early In the season. II Is now known.
Johnnie Maulbetsch, OF the University
OF Michigan, and Johnnie Speigel. OF
Washington and Jefferson. have no
peers In the country. Mauly hangs
his hat In Ann Arbor the year round
Speigel Is native son of Detroit.
IL Is a remarkable coincidence that
both of the Michiganders are among
the lightest backheld stars In the
country. Speigel weighs but $50
pounds. Mauly weighs 10 or 10
pounds more. Either can give the
enemy's line 10 or 20 pounds and
make II look like the paper wkall OF
a Japanese bungalow
Eastern scribes write that Il doesn't
seem possible that a man can hit
line with the force that Maulbetsch
does. and come out OF the game with
out broken neck
The Human bullet" as Baulbetsch
Is called hits line lower than most
backfield men now In the game. When
the ball is snapped TO him he almost
doubles himself up and. with his head
aimed at the knees of the opposing
line. he dives head first.
Those who have seen Maulbeasch
In action marvel at the great momen-
tum he can get up In two or three
steps. At the moment the ball Is
snapped he plunges forward. Two
steps and the ball Is in his arms and
then he dives. Several times during
the Harvard game he dove straight
players and went sprawling on the
ground IL TO 90 feet forward.
John f. Speigel in all-around abil-
ity excels any halfback in the game
today.
Speigel has no equal as broken
tielf runner or In circling ends. Mr.
han, the speedy Harvard halfback,
Is fast. but Speigel Is faster. Speigel
rs better dodger than Mahan. His
ability in lodging Is almost uncanny.
Speigel, too, is great defensive
PLAYER
They are wonders these two VOL
verinos. and II Walter Camp can't
see them for all-American material.
II Will be because Of pair of optics
that need some first-aid attention.

On what they have shown to date
Harvard should trim Yale by a score
Of at least 20 to 0 when the two
elevens meet. and yet IL is far from
certain that the Crimson will do any
think of the kind. There is no doubt
that with its full strength in the
field the Crimson has one OF the
most powerful machines that ever
strewed the field with fallen foes.
Had Haughton SO desired. the Tigers
might have been beaten by an even
larger score, while Yale was lucky
to beat Brown. an elasen slaughtered

HdrdUick Clings to
His Ancient Helmet

Tack Hardwick. OF Harvard. loves
his helmet" as baseball player
cherishes his favorite bat. II is old
and battered and wrinkled. like
high hat that has been crushed out
OF shape, but that makes no difference
TO Tack. In any other headgear he
does not feel wholly at home.
After the Princeton game last year
Hardwick's old helmet disappeared,
and until II turned up three or four
days later he was disconsolate. The
helmet sometimes gets out OF order
and needs some repairing, and that
accounts for the call for a "headgear
for Hardwick" that was heard In the
Michigan game heard Of one young
man who wondered IL there was not
a code signal in the various demands
for new helmet for Tack. Can you
beat IL?

PITCHING SCARCITY Is
SURE TO BE FELT NOW

sixteen major league clubs, to say MOTH
Ing, OF adding eight Fed outfits to the
list OF course. IL the outlaw league
should blow then the pitching condi-
tions will be about normal again. But
II they continue in business the class
Of baseball is bound to deteriorate, that
is II the Feds. grab on any more ma
jor league twiI'ers.
Just TO what end the majors and Feds
have been driven for pitching material
is evidenced by the active bidding for
the services of young Juul, who was a
protege Of Cy Young on the Cleveland
Federals last season. Also by the ef-
forts Of several major league clubs and
the outlaws to land Mace, 4 Cleveland
fireman. who has never played profess
sional ball. but who appeared to have
the goods when working on the slab for
the McIntyres.
Although major league clubs are lin
tied to thirty-five men In the on season,
K is q certainty that no objection would
be made by the powers that be in base
ball if a club went South with as many
as fifty athletes. Why? Well, it's come
to a point where the organized forces
will do most anything to stop the Fed
eral League advance.
While 1t is true that Manager Birm-
ingham. Of the Maps. has only thirty
men listed for the Southern training
trip, the chances are that not a single
major league magnate would file an OBJ
lection should he augment this number
to a half-hundred. And ii would not be
surprising il several of the big league
managers did have from forty to forty
five men in camp, IL for no other reason
than to try to develop Kid pitcher or
two, and in this way help 20 solve the
pitching problem that has got them all
guessing at this time.
