Rickey's Cuss Habits
Don't Suit

Here's a story of an incident
during the home training sea-
son of the St. Louis Cardinals
last spring. 1t seems that
Branch Hickey became enraged
one day at player who perpe-
trated a bone play and pro-
ceeded to express himself as
vigorously as ever he does, for
Branch never resorts to pro-
family.
Jumping Jehosaphat!" he
cried in his vexation. "That sort
of stuff isn't baseball and by
Judas Priest / won't have it on
my ball club"
In the grandstand sat an old
time fan, a leather necked, hard
headed old guy who had ideas
of his own concerning the man.
ner in which laundering ball
players should be addressed.
Jumping Jehosaphat!' by
Judas Priestp" he muttered,
mimicking the Cardinal leader.
Then his feelings got the better
of him and he blurted out so
that all the world might hear:
"Ain't that a helluva way for a
big league manager to cuss?"

GALLAUDET TO GET
PRACTICE TODAY

Gallaudet College will get a hard
workout today and tomorrow in
pointing up for the game with DreXel
Institute. of Philadelphia, on Satur-
day. The Kendall Green eleven will
wind up its season on Saturday. and
will probably get right down to bas-
hettball practice at the conclusion
OF the grid season.
Coach Hughes will have his men
out today for light work and will
probably seek a mid-week practice
game with one of the service elevens.
Gallaudet won handily over Wash
ington College Saturday at Chester
town. The team is confident Of being
able to defeat the Philadelphia lads

were not using their heads for what
the good Lord gave them heads. The
combination, from a Georgetown an
gle, was bad enough, but on top OF
that the officials saw nothing illegal
in the working Of the jump shift.
During that last period. Tech lit
orally tore its way down the field for
two touchdowns. The last one, made
by Scarborough on a kickoff, was in
the nature of a fiuke and does not
enter into this discussion. But until
that ninety-fve-yard run the Golden
Tornado was blowing a gale only be-
cause the officials. accustomed to
seeing II in action. believed II legal.
This, mind you, Is the Northern angle.
VIII Adopt the Shift.
The point OF all this is that before
many moons, invading teams are GER
tain to bring the shift into their own
style OF play when tackling Georgia
Tech. II will be most interesting to
see what sort OF game would develop
from two elevens using that jump
shift Unless the rules committee de-
e!des against the legality OF Johnny
Heisman's shift. 81 will continue to be
seen on Southern gridirons and banned
in the North and Middle West. Which
means that there will be two styles
OF football being played in this coun-
try.
We don't know what Coach Exen-
dine will do to break up that shift In
1920 when Georgetown visits Atlanta
for the second time, but II would not
surprise US in the least IL he brought
the shift down for the Hilltoppers to
use against the inventor of the play
II the officials in Dixie permit Tech
to use II, they cannot very we'll pre-
vent another team from following
suit.
For the sake of argument. let's say
that Techs players do actually make
the required halt before charging
There is so little opportunity for the
officials to check up on IL that, as the
game progresses and Tech continues
to hurl IL as its enemy, il becomes a
simple thing for the officials to lose
sight of that halt altogether.
Advertising the Game.
Meanwhile. Georgia Tech Is adver-
tising football all over the South.
Folks journeyed all the way from
Nashville, New Orleans. Birmingha.l
and Savannah last Saturday to see
Tech battle Georgetown at Atlanta.
More football was talked in the
Georgia capital last week than ever
before. The victory OF the Yellow
Jackets, while bitter in the mouths
of the Hilltoppers who had to face
that shift. was hailed with acclaim
everywhere south of the Potomac. 1t
became almost patriotic to cheer for
Heisman's eleven in its triumph.
Georgetown expects to meet Geor-
gia Tech for several years. A three
year agreement will shortly be ef-
fected assuring at least three games
II Georgetown wins in 1920 by a
small score, Atlanta won't hold the
fans who will journey to see the 1921
contest. for the Yellow Jackets are

SPEEDY WORKOUTS

Coach Tom Tracey is putting his
Catholic University lads in a little
sitter work today and will give the
Brooklanders considerably more point
ing tomorrow and Thursday in prepa-
ration for VillanOva.
The fact that the Army slammed
Villsnova all around the field last
Saturday at West Point has given the
Brooklanders the hope that a win can
be gained
The Brooklanders were pretty well
battered up after their gane with the
Staters. Practically every player
was all In at the conclusion of the
battle. That State was unable to push
a touchdown across the c. l.. line is
proof that the Brooklanders' defense

CHANGES EXPECTED
IN j. Va. ATHLETICS

Several radical changes are due in
the coaching systems at the Univer-
sity OF Virginia following the meet
ing of former Virginia athletes and
the formation of the "V' Club at
Charlottesville, Va, Saturday.
While the old grads and former
star athletes who have returned from
the Vandy-Virginia game Saturday
are somewhat reticent about declar-
ing themselves, it is intimated that
drastic steps will be taken to right
what is believed to be a situation
that demands handling without
gloves.s
Former coaches and football play
ers who have been down at Char
lottesville at different times this year
are not satisfied with the results
shown in football Virginia is said
to have as good material as has ever
graced Lambeth Field.
Players Work Harder.
The players are giving themselves
TO the cause as never before. The
Vanderbilt game was a revelation of
Virginia fighting spirit. To the fact
that no less a parsonage than Glenn
warner was consulted about three
weeks ago and was prevailed upon
to divulge some OF his famous stun
for offense and defense is ascribed
Nirginia's showing against Wander
bilt.
The Commodores won, and only by
tight squeeze. Virginia outplayed
the Vanderbilt team and deserved a
better fate. The returning "V'' men
were satisfied that the team should
have performed better in early sea
son games, and are outspoken in their
condemnation of the way the entire
situation has been handled
1t Is known that the alumni system
of coaching is to be shelved, and that
professional coaches will be tried out
In all sports IL the old boys have
their way.
Must Tell Policies.
Further proof of the disouietude
at Virginia is manifested in the dec
laration that the General Athletic AS
ISOLATION candidates are to be elected
upon a platform in which must be
stated in no uncertain terms just what
the attitude toward the present sys-
tenn is. 1t is expected that the G. A.
A. officials will announce ideas of the
future policy of that body and the
aims toward which they are working
before election.
Former Virginia athletes Of the
w" Club look toward the formation
of new club as the salvation OF
virginia athletics. Something definite
Is expected in the line of changes at
the close Of the football season.

When the game began. the George

the fact remains that the shift did not
accomplish much until the final period
BY that time the officials were be-

northern angle.
Protest had been made before the
game that the Tech players should
be compelled to make that required

ference They did, too, and when the
third period ended one touchdown had
