BENNY KAUFF IS
A UNIQUE FIGURE
IN BALL HISTORY
Promises to Give Ty Cobb a
Race For HonorS and Will
Run Away From
the Others.
BY Frank G. Mcnke.
international News Service:

International News Service:
NEW YORK, Jan. II. - Benny
Kauff is a figure unique in baseball
history. AS temperamental as a
prima donna and as Manageable in
his moods as April weather, he is a
character study.
Kauff probably breaks more bats
in a season than any other player
or any six other players-'n the
game And the oldest part of it is
that. unlike all other ball players
he cherishes no favorite bat. He
claims that the bats become "un-
true" to him at times, whereupon he
breaks them.
Kauff usually starts a season with
y new bats and gets in a new as
sortment every six weeks or so. If
Kauff hits up a fly the first time he
uses a bat he break it Immediately.
If he gets a hit with a bat in it's
first use he declares the bat "a reg
ular club" Should he bat out a
fly or strike out the next time he
uses the club he doesn't break it
Immediately. He decides 10 give it
another chance as a reward for get
ting a hit for him the first time he
used =. But if he pops in his first
trip to the plate with that bat, the
club is broken.
As To Autos.
Since the 1915 season closed Kauff
has purchased four automobiles,
trading in the first as part payment
on the second. trading the second
in part payment for the third and
exchanging the third and some cash
for the fourth.
What will Kauff do in the uniform
of organized baseball? Well, just
to forcstall speculation on the sub
ject we will quote from a speech
uttered by Monsieur Kauff last sum-
mer:
eff [ ever get into the American
or National leaghe, I'll give Ty Cobb
the greatest little fight he ever had
and I'll run away from the others
Kauff. as you'll notice. is no mod
est. shrinking violet-but he's a real
ball player.

Harvard Coach Attributes
Success to Finding Out
What Opponents Were
Doing on Offensive.
Associated Press service

Associated Press Service:
NEW YORK. Jan. 11.-According
10 Percy Haughton, the Harvard
football coach. the success Of the
Crimson elevens on the gridirOn in
recent years has been due almost
entirely 20 the use OF common sense
and thorough efficiency in The train
ing. coaching and campaig ning of
the players as individuals and the
eleven as a unit. In describing the
system. Haughton said recently:
"Our offensive and defensive
methods were based upon an appli-
cation OF the German system OF
salesmanship. AS / understand it,,
the Germans never try to sell in a
new territory whatever they hap
pen TO h1ve on hand. Instead. they
ascertain what is needed. and man
ufacture exactly what is wanted,
and. Of course, more cheaply than
their competitors.
so with our football problem. We
learned in a general way what our
opponents were going TO do on the
onense and we met il with different
defenses. Each of these defenses
was planned TO meet "a certain kind
Of play under certain conditions and
the team was so thoroughly versed
in what 10 expect from its Oppo-
nents that i'm the great majority of
cases it used the proper defense
against any given play.
con the offense we studied our
opponents defensive methods and
proceeded against their weakest
point. varying this principle by pre-
tending to attack the weak spot and
developing toward what, without the
fake was theoretically a strong ter
ritory.
Each year we have found it
necessary 20 change the crux Of our
Onense TO meet existing conditions.
Now these methods are not simply
the result OF vnat we have learned
during the past eight years on the
contrary. they are the accommodations
of Harvard football brains stretch
ing back To the time of Lewis and
Bert Waters. From them we learn
ed that 20 beat Yale il was neces-
sary TO Outright them. From Cam
Forbes. who coached in 80 and '9S,
we learned that in order to out
night them it was necessary 10 have
eleven well men to do it: and from
Biu Reid, who coached in 1901, 'O5
and 90 We learned the invaluable
lesson of paying strict attention to
the smallest detail"
