MANY COLLEGE
ELEvENS START
SEASON TODAY

New York. Oct. 6-F'ootbal1 again is
on a firm footing in the collegiate
world. Only Harvard, Yale and
Princeton still adhere to their policy
of no intercollegiate contests until af-
ter the war Generally every big in
stitution in the East and West is rep
resented by an eleven, probably not
as strong as in former years, but in
every case one with a latent power
which should develop an exhibition OF
the gridiron sport equal to that of
the past. -
In the games listed for today the
powerful and heavy Army eleven. un-
der the leadership of Captain Elmer
@. Ohphant, will start its competitive
season in a game against Carnegie
heralded as greatly as is its neighbor
Tech The Pittsburgh college is not
heralded as greatly as is its neighbo
Pittsburgh University, but Carnegie
always manages to place a. team in the
field which is troublesome to OPP
ponents- Reports from the Army have
it that West Point again is graced with
enough football lower to carry it
through another successful year. West
Point was undefeated last season.
The Midshipmen at Annapolis also
ARE preparing for struggle today in
which West Virginia will furnish the
opposition. The Navy had little diff
fculty winning its first game of the
season last Saturday and since Pitt
manhandled West Virginia on the
same day, it is expected that the
Navy will continue triunphantly 1t
is not definitely decided that the Army
and Navy are not to meet this year
it may be that the Red Cross VIII

York: s-s-1

competitive field for the first time to-
day. Cornell has lost many of its last

foul flies Ty Cobb has the ideal
baseball brains. But Ty isn't col
lege man., On the other hand I used
to play in the minors with graduate
of a we'll known university who was
brilliant scholar and good natural
athlete. But he was positively the
limit in playing baseball He would
do the most incomprehensFble things
In fact he was impossible.
Hans Wagner and Nap Lajoie are
not college men, have not enjoyed as
liberal an education, perhaps, as most
of the rest of us. But if any medical
laboratory wants a sample of a real
baseball brain let him open negotia-
lions with the Dutchman or the
Frenchman for the use of his skull
when he is through with it.
I believe there are fellows with a
natural born instinct to play baseball.
They invariably DO the right thing at
the right time. That is what mean
by baseball brains. Furthermore,
such brain must, above all, act
quickly There are many who under
stand good baseball and could dope
out the proper thing for a fielder or
batter to do under given conditions.
But that isn't enough. The man with
a baseball brain must not only do the
right thing but he must do it instant
ly. 1t is quickness of thought quite
as much as correctness which marks
the star player. Hal Chase and Ty
Cobb are scintillating- examples OF
quick thought on the diamond.
Now the catcher, above all men,
must have a good baseball brain. Most
of his work, the most important part
! Of his work. is hidden from the spec
tators' eye. The man in the stands
can seldom follow what is going on in
the catcher's brain. But the catch

WHAT MAKES GOOD CATCHER
Great Backstop Declares Big League Catcher Must

Ray Schalk is conceded by those
who know, to be the back bone of the
White Sox defense. In the Worlds
Series issue of the Baseball Magazine
the brilliant catcher outlines the
things which he believes are of prime
Importance in his position:
ST have read with great interest
several attacks on the present system
of scoring baseball records. To my
mind the criticisms, most of them at
least, are sound, though it isn't easy
to suggest improvements! Off hand I
would say that fielding averages are
pretty bad, pitchers averages rather
punk, batting averages merely fair.
But the worst of all are catchers'
averages. How are you going to tell
a good catcher? By his batting
average? By his fielding average?
By the runs he scores? Of courses all
these things are important. But they
haven't any direct connection with
good, bad or Indifferent catching as
such. A catcher may or may not be
a good batter or base runner And
whatever his hitting or run getting
ability, he may be a great or a medic
