Right Handlers Lead in
National League Hitting

Chicago, Dec. 22.-In the National
League last season there were 172
players who took part in fifteen or
more championship games and so
worked their way into the official
averages. OF these ia, or almost
exactly two-thirds. were regular
right-hand hitters. Forty or
less than one-third, were left-hand
hitters, while only eleven turned
around" or hit from either side of
the plate, according to the sort of
pitching they were facing. That
is only about 6 per cent, or three
players out OF fifty have found it
to be any advantage to them to shift
their position at the bat.
OF these only five are regular
players on the teams, namely, Carey,
of the Pirates, Holke of the Braves,
Larry Kopf, of the Reds, Dave Ban
croft, of the Phillies and Lee Magee,
of the Cubs. The other six were
pitchers or substitute players, which
shows that the practice of turning
around is not so prevalent as it was
at one time.

The football players will have a

I'VE are ready" said Coach Fisher
before departure "Our men have
taken the game seriously and have one
idea in mind, victory. We oppose any
claim to carrying the championship
banner of the East into play. We are
going West only as an undefeated Har-
ward team, and not to defend any Sec
tional title. l expect the few days we
have in Pasadena will round the team
into shape, and the one drawback we
have met, lack of much definite infor-
nation on Oregon plays, will be sup
piled when we reach the coast"

The University of Oregon has been
in Pasadena and down to hard work.
Although the oregon team tied the
University of Washington for the Pa

the Orcgonians were considered by ex-
perts to have made the better showing
during the season.
Washington State College defeated
Oregon, Z to 0, and was itself beaten
by the University of Washington, Z to

defeat upon the University of WASH

Oregon the edge.
