Coach Bezdek hase more than

TY COBB INITIATES CASEY
BEFORE FRENCH GATHERING

Tyrus Raymond Cobb didn't cover
himself with glory when he made his
debut in baseball overseas. On the
contrary. the Georgia Peach" gave a
full-grown imitation OF the immortal
Casey.
Cobb and Bobby Veach. Detroit's
other heavy hitter. were billed to ap-
pear in a game at a rest camp"
where they are still able to keep the
pastime going. Multitudes Of French
men attended the contest, all attract
ed by the fame of Captain Cobb.
When the eminent Georgian strode
up to the plate, it seemed as il half
the French expected to see him bunt

JOHNNY BROCK IS CRACK
BOXER AND HE'S A COB

GREAT LAKES. I'LL, Dec. l5.-
Johnny Brock. st. Louis National
League catcher. is rapidly gaining
prominence as a boxer at the Great
Lakes Naval Training Station. He
picked up his knowledge of hooks
and jabs and crosses in the time he
has spent in the navy, where boxing
is the major sport.
"If Brock wants to drop baseball
he can become a top liner in the ring
game" is the way the professionals at
Great Lakes regard his glove ability.
"He can hit with either hand. His
right is crushing-maybe from throw
ing constantly. He's strong for his
weight, too. and with a little expert
ence could hop into the ring with
many 4 good pro-"
Brock scales in around the welter-
weight mark. II he remains in SER
vice he should pick up this belt on
the station without particular trouble.

A. A, will enforce the one-year resi-
dence rule to govern major and minor
sports, this rule being observed here
before the s. A. T. c. was INTRODUCED in
the colleges. All other eligibility re-
quirements in force at the larger in
stitutions of the East and West will
be strictly complied with.
Eight regulars and six first string
substitutes will be lost from the
university team of 1918 by gradua-
tion. The eight regulars are Captain
McLaren. the greatest fullback Pitt
ever had, and one of the best any
college ever produced: Easterday and
Gougler, stars in the backfield: and
Stahl. Allshouse. Harrington, McCar-
ter, and Hilty in the line. These play
ers were enrolled in the various pro-
fessional schools of the university,
and remained in college in the reserve
branches of the service and the stu
dents army training corps.

The Pittsburgh management is
awake to the fact that next year
should be the banner season in foot
ball, so far as interest in the sport
is sseoncerned, and. although the ma
teTtsl at hand suggests an uphill
hght. the Panther schedule will COM
pare favorably with that OF any other
yeGE One. and probably two. trips
wfiR,be permitted by the university
authorities and the remainder of th=
schedule will be played at Forbes
Fed.
If a game with any one OF the big
three" can be arranged, it will be
sc6eduIed, il possible. as a local at
traction. However, IL that is impos-
sibts. the Panthers will consent to a
Journey to Cambridge New Haven, or
Pr4ceton.
Seeks Hard Schedule.
Pitt will attempt to arrange as
hard a schedule as ever. and any fair
mingled critic will admit that usually
the majority OF games on a Pitts
burg program are hard contests, so
much so that il is a rather difficult
task for the coach to point" the team
for a climax.
For instance. this years schedule.
as originally arranged. contained
games with such rivals as the Uni
Vers1ty OF West Virginia. Lehigh Uni
versity. Syracuse University. Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, Washington and
Jefferson College, Carnegie Institute
of Technology, and Pennsylvania State
of Technology. and Pennsylvania
state.
II the annual talk about football
championships could be eliminated.
Pig -men argue it would be a good
thiag for the college pastime. Every
college coach likes to have his sched-
uIe arranged so that he can point"
his team for a certain game, or in
other words, have his players reach
the climax OF their preparation and
playing ability for that contest.
Fail Below Their Form
For this reason, teams that are com
PEELED to reach their highest effici-
eney early in November might be
sadly below form two weeks later. az
a time when public sentiment might
be clamoring for a game which the
critics might class as one that would
decide the college championship. Sec
tionRl championships may be fairly
we11 determined between teams that
play a somewhat similar schedule. but
national championships in college
football should be forgotten.
Pitt will put the best team possible
in the field during the season of 1919,
and II IL shares a successful season
with Eastern or Western universities,
will not expect a post-season game
10 establish a national supremacy. for
such a game would not necessarily de-
eide the better team and post-season
contests will not be permitted by the
Pitt authorities.
Enforce Freshman Rule.

SAYS AUSTRALIAN BOXERS
0UTNUMBER ALL THE REST

Snowy Baker. the famous fistic pro-
moter OF Australia, says that there
are probably 1000 Kangaroo boxers
in the war. and that probably moro
than half of them have sacrificed their
lives in battle. The number OF boxers
in the service of the other allies,
while not as high in proportion TO
population as that of Australia, is
great, nevertheless. France, cspe-
cially, lost many of her most brilliant
fistic stars on the bloody battlefield.
