DIETz REAL SPORT
Washington Mentor Coaches
His Team in White Silks.
He's a Regular Beau Brummel
When on the Field.

New York. Jan. 14.-For the past
seven or eight years there has been
a great deal of talk about the sensa-
tional Washington State football team
that has not lost a game since Heck
knows when. And this year the elev-
en- came more prominently into the
limeight than ever by defeating the
Oregon Aggies after the latter had
defeated the Michigan Aggies 20 to 0,
and by smothering Il other oppon-
ents.
Also, there has been a great deal
said of Lone Star" Dietz, the Wash
ington coach who has never lost a
game. But the following description
of Dietz, brought back by one who
witnessed the Washington Brown
game at Pasadena, thr VS. a new light
on the eccentricities and Beau Brum-
mel habits of the great mentor:
The Description.
1.-The Washington team was prac-
ticing for its Brown game at Tourna-
ment park in Sunny Pasadena.
Around the field was a double line of
curious football fans, supposedly feast
ing their eyes on the rangy, rugged,
ow-headed gridiroE warriors from
the north who had come so many
hundred miles from their own field to
play a New Years game against the
eastern eleven.
THE northerners were in the throes
of a practice session which struck one
expert observer as AN afternoon
long flash of flying fee Pasadena was
being treated to the, until then, most
spectacular afternoon of it's giddy
young career. But was that double
line of spectators wearing out its eyes
trying to follow the motions of the
players? Not any.
For near the middle of the field
stood the most imposing figure ever
seen upon a California gridiron-or
perhaps on any gridiron. Under a
white hat he wore a white linen suit,
white shoes, white silk socks a white
silk shirt and a flowing white silk tie.

afternoon around Havana. As a mat
ter of fact, he was William Clone

coach of the Washington eleven.
at may be taken for granted that
he was a decided shock to the foot
ball nuts. who have been accustomed
to seeing a coach tearing around in a
rough-neck sweater, SLOUGH hat and
a great rage
Nor do the eccentricities of Dietz
end with his dress. Other coaches are
at liberty to go chasing up and down
a football field after their charging
players if they feel that way about it;
Dietz sees nothing fundamentally
wrong in such a system. But for his
part he prefers to spend a stationery
afternoon; and so he has his team line
up wherever he happens to be stand
ing when practice opens, and after
each play, brings it back to start all
over again from the same spot.

hat, frock coat, striped trousers, patent

TINKER and JONES ARE
GREATEST COMEBACKS
From Everywhere.

This is a great year for baseball
comebacks. Joe Tinker, Cub cast
off who worried his way through
a season of managing the Cincin-
natl Reds and then made the jump
to the Chifeds, comes back with a
vengeance to the job of plotting the
Cub players who guffawed when
Joe was let out by Murphy. But
the real comeback is Fielder Jones,
one of the miracle men of baseball,
who led the White Sox hitless won
wers to their lone world pennant.
Jones will enter the big league
again with the amalgamated st.
Louis Brown and Sloufeds. Jones
has accomplished two feats that put
him in a lone class: He led a medi-
OGRE bunch to a worlds pennant,
then last season took a bunch of
Sloufeds and made them over into
pennant contenders, which they
certainly had not been.

the wrist. Muscular control, the
great asset in a draw game, also is
essential to expert billiard playing,
the champion says.
Johnny Ertle, the St. Paul boxer,
who claims to have won the bantam
weight title from Kid Williams, of
Baltimore, on a foul, is a regular fell
low in more ways than one. Besides
having a ring record unmarried by
defeat, he is polite and good-natured.
Ertle is now in the east trying to gain
some honorable advancement" The
other night he boxed in a church show
on the Bowery and, at 2:30 a. M, ap-
peared IN an exhibition bout before
the Manhattan Press club. Ertle boxed

worlds champion, and Frank Moran,
which it was expected would take
place in this city some time in March,
will be postponed probably until Me-

This step had become necessary, it
was declared, because Willard has in
formed the promoters of the match
that he cannot fight in March. If a
later date is selected, the bout will be
staged in the open.

THOSE WHO LEAD.
According to a chart published by
the University Daily Kansan, athletes
who go in for tennis stand higher in
those w On in
any other sport at K. U.
Track athletes stand next, baseball
players next, football players fourth
and basketball players foot the list.
And there is food for much speculation
in these facts.
Can it be that those who go in for
tennis are of a higher intelligence
than football, baseball and basketball
men? Or is it that those who play
tennis play less enthusiastically and
allow the game to detract less from
their university work?
The average standing of the differ
ent classifications of athletes are:
Tennis, 94.S5; track, 62.99; baseball,
60,9S; football, SILT; basketball,
54S2.
1t would be interesting to know if
the same conditions prevail in other
colleges and universities, and it would
be interesting to have the tennis play
ers and basketball men of K. U. sub
mitted to the Binet test and to a phys
ical examination to determine their
comparative physical and mental pro-
ficiencies.
