Some 112 pictures of delightful viii

"It is easy To project the mind back

IMPROVED PITCHING
MAY REVIVE bUNT
Sacrifice Hit Should Regain
Popularity With Hurting
More Effective.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

Base ball men are wondering
whether the bunt is passing from
base ball or whether the sacrifice hit
will not be as popular as ever next
season in event the pitching i'm
proves.
-Four years ago the manager Of the
Giants said there were not five good
bunters in base ball. He had been
asked why his players did not bunt
when there were runners on base.
'They can't" he replied. "A man
ager is sucker who expects to get
runs by sacrificing when he has a
bunch of players who handle a bat
like potato masher, only not SO
WELL"
Bunting was rarer than ever during
the season recently closed, because
the occasions were fewer when a
manager felt justified in playing for
one run only, and few good bunters
were developed, although Babe Ruth
may claim that he is one after his
performance in the second game Of
the world series. But the Babes bunt-
ing usually is like that of the great
J Ed Delehanty.
When DeIehanty Bunted.
The managers in DeIehanty's day
who did not have bunt hitters were
being beaten by those who did and
finally Harry Wright used his in
fuence to have the batter exempted
from time at bat il he was put out
after bunt provided he advanced
a runner. He thought he might gel
Delehanty to hunt if he did that. so
he asked Delehanty'to bunt one aft
ernoon, asked in that wistful plead
ing way of his. and the big out
fielder. who was very fond of his
manager. replied:
Dad. you know | won't dare 20
back to Saint Clair street in cleve-
land if l bunt. but I'll do it this once
! to help you
Runners were on first and second.
Ed walked to the plate. made one
awful fizzle in trying to bunt. and
on the next ball pitched. he hit over
the fence. He ran home beamine.
shouting to the bench:
Il told you / would, dad. I told
you ! would. but where do YOU sup
pose she would a gone if ] had hit"
How Grif Viewed II.
AS showing the futility Of bunting
last season, Clark Griffith said at on
time in the season: Either the bar
rel is full of pork and you've got to
match ii with another barrel. or your
pitchers are hit so hard that il isn't
worth while oyerworking the team.
The sacrifice habit WAS strongest
when pitchers used to keep the runs
down to three and four game. and
there were some pitchers who slipped
in their little Shutout games every
now and then with more alarming
frequency than they do at present. A
ball player who couldn't bunt was
likely to be put down as a member
of the order of blanketybuob. Ball
players were even fined because they
could not bunt.
Some managers, of whom Griffith
was one and Connie Mack another.
played the bunt as regularly as they
paid their bread bill at the end Of
the week. II runner reached first
with no one out every kid on the
bleachers knew that the next batter
up was going to tap the ball a lily
white blow to the infield. But wherr
the pitching is poor, as il was during
the season of 1921. the hit and ruI.
play is a better play than the ID
liberate sacrifice.

forward passes to swamp the
Army eleven.
In 1915 he took up coaching and has
succeeded marvelously. Notre Dame

extent forward passing could be used
by a team that was trained especially
in that line of attack.

Good as the Ohioans were, they were
easy victims for the University of Cal
ifornia players. California ran rings
around them, and even then the excel
lent Ohio forward passing game was
equalled by the coast team. This year
California's team is practically as good
as last years and that means very,
very good.
In the early part of the game with
southern California the score stood even
at TT, but Brick Muller, California's
star end, was not in the play at that
time owing to a leg injury. Muller has
remarkable ability for throwing the
forward pass. * this critical stage

the game, crippled as he was. After a

VOL LVERINES WILL LOSE
ONLY FOUR GRID STARS

Coach Yost of Michigan will lose
but four regulars from this years
foot ball squad. The quartet is COM
posed of Capt. Dunno, Wick. Wilson
and Usher. Wick is regarded as one
of the best centers Michigan ever had.
Wilson and Dunno have been valuable
at guard, and Usher in the backfleld.
Four of the more widely known
players on the Wolverine squad this
season each have one more year of
varsity competition ahead of them.
These are Steketee, Bank, Goebel
and Kirk. The latter pair are relied
upon to hold the flank positions next
year, while Bank and Steketee are
counted as among the 1922 first
string backfield men. Bank has
been unfortunate this season, having
been kept out of the big tilts so far
because Of an injury suffered in the
tilt with the Michigan Aggies.

The forward pass has been far
more delicately timed than in the
past and used with a methodical pre-
cision. 1t has been screened" and
by that is meant the charging down
the field of line men, eligible and
ineligible, who, while conforming to
the law so far as running into the
defensive backs is concerned, still
attempts to get to the receiver or to
the pass
Protect Forward Passer.
Another development has been in
the protection given the forward
passer. enabling him to delay his
pass until his men get down the
field. Also the receiver of the pass
has ACQUIRED much more dexterity,
showing ability to turn and take the
ball on the run, interposing his
shoulder and body at the same time
to the defensive back.
The run from kick formation has
been built into the shift plays so as
to cause more hesitation by the op-
posing line men and ends. who are
left in doubt as to where the play is
to strike and whether It is to be a
run, a kick or a forward pass. The
quick kick from close behind the
line Of scrimmage has been reintro-
duced, -deterring the far-back de-
fensive man from stealing up and
making himself an extra defense man
to long forward passes.
Ability to make long passes has
been greatly increased. Several men
in the game can hurl the pigskin
more than half the length of. the field.
Deceptions and false motions. con-
cealed ball plays and other tricks
have appeared. All this on the at
tacking side.
Defense Taxed to Limit.
The defense naturally has been
forced to extraordinary anxiety and
has shown Improvement also, 1t has
improved very largely against the

up with it. If it had not improved
there would have been more scoring.
The defense has learned that the for
ward passer must be hurried more
and more and that the backfie1d men
must be of extremely quick percep-
ton and active enough to cover a
large radius and bat down the ball.
= Some teams have drawn more men
out of the line into the back field
to guard against forward passes,
while others have depended on hur-
rying the passer. The latter method
has been more successful. If the
passer can be SO hurried that none
of his men can get. far down the

more readily defended against. The
! rather short, fiat pass across the end
of the line toward the outside has
been a terrible boomerang to some
teams. Its probable gain is only Z or
yards II successful, and If inter-
cepted 1t may mean a touchdown for
the opposing team.
The lesson has been pretty well
learned, and any team making these
passes now in another year will
either send the passer out wider or
protect itself against disastrous re-
! suit In some other way.
Notre Dame carried the forward
passing game to high degree Of per-
lection, based on very clever and
scientific timing. California had one
of the longest distance passers in the
country in Muller, but almost every
, team had a fairly well developed at
tack on the aerial side.
1t was q great pity that the Penn
State-Pittsburgh game was played, as
last year, in a sea of mud. The game
promised to be one of the best of the
year Two ffrst-class backfields
