SIX NEW PLAYERS MUST
 BE ACQUIRED BY BARONS

Consequently, four pitchers, a catcher and an infielder must be coralled by Moley by the time for the curtain to raise rolls around It is probable, how ever, that Moley already has his com plete roster and that he will announce complete plans on his arrival
 The 1918 Barons will resemble the Bar ons of 1917 in few respects. Only few familiar faces will be seen in action, and almost a complete new set of tossers will

Boss MoLey to Reach Birmingham
 About February Z; Many Gaps 10 Be
 Filled In Rebuilt Baron Machine
Chubby Cefan Barons Ready For Work Next
 Monh-Nine of Last Will Be Missing

Carlton Moesworth, the chubby leader of the Barons. will drift into Birmingham about February 1. The popular pilot Is at his farm at Frederick Md, and an- nounced his intentions to leave the snow-covered country for the sunny south earlier than usual, according to President W. D. Smith, who received a lengthy letter recently.
 Moley writes that the weather in Maryland is far too cold to agree with him, and he will journey southward in search of warmer weather around the first day of the years second month. Moley has stated little of his plans for the coming season, but it is known he faces an unusually heavy task in recon structing his machine
 Usually Moley comes to Birmingham near the middle of February, spends a couple of weeks in getting out the sea- sons contracts and then starts his training of men for the long grind. This year, however, will find a complete change in the policy of the Baron boss. MOLEY WILL TRAIN HIS
 MEN ABOUT THREE WEEKS
 The season does not start until April IS, a week later than usual Consequent ly, Moley will not start his spring traIn- ing until past the middle of March. Moley believes that three weeks is more than enough time for any ball player to get in frst-class trim, and he will work his men on this basis.
 Should the chubby chieftain reach here near the first of February, he will have more than a month and a half to spend on the idle list. This time will not be

CAPTAIN KEPT OIIT

Charles E. Courtney of Cornell, dean of American rowing coaches, held views well in advance of but similar to Dobie's on the subject of captains. Courtney ruled with an iron hand and practically abolished crew captaincies at Cornell in the days when he placed Cornell at the top in college rowing. Often have heard Cornell oarsmen tell of the way the "Old Man" assumed all powers and left the racing of his crews to the two men best fitted for the job-the stroke oar and the coxswain.
 From the players standpoint the cap- taincy is good thing and the captain himself seems to think so. But the facts prove it is not always best for the team. The game has grown beyond the undergraduate days of leadership. It requires older and more experienced men to handle a football team than it did 20 and 25 years ago, when Yaie stood at the top of the football world and owed it's success to a system which placed the captain at the head. Yale's complete downfall was due, in no small measure, to it's hestancy in Giscarding the old scheme of things for the new, to clinging to captaincy leadership when all others had delegated supreme powers to the coach.

MUST HAVE ABILITY

.The captain of a team, as I see it, has no more right to place on the eleven than any other candidate for the team and if he does win position on the eleven he is in no respects it's leader unless he is quarterback. I insist on my quarterbacks running the team on the

field and if the captain interferes in any way with their work out comes the cap tain. In this way the responsibility rests on one man and if he errs or fails l know how to remedy the fault.
 I have had excellent, captains for this reason. l have had captains who faltered but a strict application of my rule has brought them around in time. And have watched this captaincy business so closely that I have been,able to win some of the big games when at Washington by directing our attack against opposing captains, linemen, who, though thought .invulnerable, had really let down in their play and were unable to cope on equal terms with their fellow players against our attack Their players, believing in their captain, were demoralized by our success in attacking this point on their line. After all, football is mostly psy- chology."
 True are the words of Dobie, and true Is the fact that there have been and all ways will be football captains who rise under the added responsibility of their office to great heights as players, but the majority of them go the other way There is much psychology in the whole thing. For one thing, a captain may have an off day. As rule, the coach will stick by the captain to the limit, for he represents the team. Therefore he will not criticise a captain as freely as other players. In time this may be in- terpreted as favoritism and lead to dis satisfaction It often has
