Can he do it? Can Jack Coombs.
famed as an Iron man" wherever
baseball is known, succeed where
Jim Jeffries and innumerable other
sporting celebrities have failed? Can
he come back?
That is the question which sport
critics and lovers are bordering
over. Can the man who once moved
down batsmen in worlds series bat
ties, the same as in exhibition games,
put over the same brand of stuff, the
same weird assortment Of Pickering
white flashes, that once earned him
the sobriquet Of the ''iron man."
Wilbert Robinson and Charley Eb-
bets would like to know. They have
taken the chance and signed the vet
eran for 1915, and before many
months have rolled by they will be
able to answer all interrogators as
to whether Jack Coombs can ''come
back"
From 1906 until 1912, Coombs'
name was perhaps the most feared
of any pitcher. Jumping into the
big league from a scintillating path
of victories at Colby college, Coombs
startled the baseball world after he
had been in the league but a few
weeks by pitching and winning a
twentyfour inning game against the
Boston Red Sox The score was
to 1. 1t is the longest major league
game on record.
Coombs' real fame came in 1910
when he shattered several records.
His record at the close of that season
showed him with thirty-one victories
and but nine defeats. Not satisfied
with that, he broke another American
league record by shutting out his op-
ponents thirteen times and wound up
the season in a blaze of glory by
pitching fifty-three consecutive
scoreless innings. ~
Coombs continued his path of
glory until the 1911 worlds series
when he was severely injured In
1912 he recovered enough to win 81
out of 81 games, but since that time
has pitched but two full games, win
ming one and losing one. -.
Those big-chested individuals who
direct their efforts toward training
the college "mussels" to grow and
expand are all "het up" ''Fors
why" they demand, should we be
picked on, for why?"
The object of their wrath is John
Grier Hibben, who succeeded Wood
row Wilson at presidenting Prince
ton university. According to Mas
sau's classic head, college coaches
are detriment to school and abso-
lutely fatal to the rah-rah spirit.
That isn't exactly the way Prexy
said it, but that's the gist of his.
charge Also, according to Hibben,
school athletics as whole would
profit immensely if the whole litter
of paid coaches were ousted into the
cold gray to work for living.

be renominated. For many years
one member of the board OF regents
has been a resident OF Ann Arbor,
and I believe II is important that
one member OF the board always
should be an Ann Arbor man. From
my knowledge OF the affairs OF the
university, am aware that frequent.
ly matters affecting the interests Of
the university come up which re-
quire the immediate consideration Of
some member OF the board. Regent
Beal is splendidly equipped for this
position and Is greatly interested In
the affairs OF the university. II Is my
earnest wish that when the nomina-
reached, the first thing done should
be the nomination OF Regent Beal TO
succeed himself. ] know this will
be for the best interests OF the uni
versity. After the nomination OF
Regent Beal. the convention will then
have before It the names OF other
candidates. and whomsoever they
may select as the other nominee.
trust will be the man who in the
Judgment OF the convention IL best
fitted for the position, and I believe
this will be done.
