NAMING TEAM
AFTER COACH
is DEPLORED
Old Graduates Decry
Tendency of the
Times.
BY WALTER CAMP,

1t is probably nothing more than
a newspaper tendency this desig-
mating of football elevens by the
name of the coach rather than the
name of the college. None the less
there is an increasing number OF
thoughtful collegians who are fear
full lest it represent changed
spirit within the walls of their ALMA
mater.
The other day had letter from
an outstanding college graduate
whose views are worthy of consid-
Grafton.
1T ,nettles more than few Of
u.s." he said, ito feel that teams of
college where We once were under
graduates are regarded no longer
as representing these colleges but
the coach who develops them.
Il do not exaggerAe matters
when l say that nine-tenths of the
men who were graduated from 10
to 20 years ago would Willingly
see their teams lose every game OF
the season rather than have them
alluded to as Smiths met, Or
Browns men, or Jones eleven
and so forth"
! In answering this correspondent
+ the writer said that there is sone
diversity of opinion upon this mat
ter. Perhaps he did not value at
its high point the devotion which
the recent graduates and under
graduates have toward their coach
/ whom they regard not as a paid
! coach but as a leader and inspirer
! However, this is not likely t.
change the mans opinion since he
is of those who believe that a coach
is paid far beyond his deserts.
! that the system of which the coach
is an exponent is thoroughly de-
! structive of college spirit. In this
there is also likely to be very de.
cided diversity of opinion.
| Recently the writer referred to
the changed attitude at Lelsnt
Stanford and the University of Cali
fornia with regard to American
football as opposed to the Rugby OF
English game. So marked sha.
been the swing toward the gridirnr
game that the present season upo1
the Pacific coast promises to be the
greatest in history.
1t will be very interesting to SCI
what Andy Kerr. Glenn Wafner's
pupil, who is handling the PALE
Alta eleven while Warner is films
out his contract with Pittsburs h
will do with the Stanfordians. Cali
fornia has been well to the fore il
recent years but now she has los
a veteran line from tackle to tackle
as well as one good backfield man
But Brick Muller team in him

/ Probably Stanford will have /,

\ New York, Oct. 11.-Ohio State
university coaches today are dubi-
GUS as to the complete success of

no doubt, of course, that the cere-
mony of dedication will be impress
sive in color, dignity, and in the
sense of the attending throng, but
they are not so sure that the Uni
versity of Michigan football eleven
will not prove to be the fly in the

noteworthy occasion.
intercollegiate fivalry, not to say
the spirit of pure sporting enter
prise, demands that the Wolver-
ines do all that can be done to
shake a dash of wormwood into the
Ohio camp On form today the
chances seem to favor Michigan's
ambition.
They have not been saying much
at Ann Arbor, but private wire ad-
vices all indicate that Yost has de-
veloped a potent aggregation. Ohio
State, however, is still in nebu-
lous state and whatever may hap

most too much to ask that the

1t is too bad there is any doubt
at all about a fiawless day at the
stadium opening at Columbus. Yet

New York Oct. u.-Irrespective
OF the tremendous crop OF rumors
which are cut down and wfthered
hourly in baseball circles, some OF
the members Of the Yankees will
find themselves far from here
when the next season opens. Fig
ufes as well-as actions speak loud
er than words. and an analysis OF
the worlds series figures give an
pie evidence today Of why some
present New York American league
ball players will name another
residence on hotel registers next
year.
In 1921, 1.-THE Yankee batters. eve-.

thrashed, averaged ~ earned

game. Earned runs tell whether a
team is batting timely or not. The
Yanks were not. They were 7-10
earned runs a game weaker than
last year and the figures are more
impressive when it is realized that
in two instances this year they
were facing the identical pitchers
against whom they made runs i'll
1921.
The Giants, however, were
stronger this year. They earned
I3 is runs a game. whereas last
year they could get but 3. Their
net gain over the Yankees was
$40 of an earned run game
The evidence Of Yank feebleness
explains why they could not win
game and also why the two col
onels who own the club would
!, listen to bids for players, yet even
bids for the erstwhile mighty
Ruth. 1t is probable that the club
desiring to talk trade about Ruth
would have to wrap its right eye
III cotton wool and leave it in the
Yankee stropgbox before the col
onels could hear a word, but they
are not stone deaf on that subject.
/ It became known from authentic
sources today that the manage
ment Of the Yanks are anything
but pleased. with Ruth's conduct.
This does not refer so much tc
Ruth's failure to hit in the worlds
!, series but his attitude throughout
the year is a horse of another col
Tor. That smile is used advisedly
for it has been charged in many
quarters that Ruth's interest in
which horse was first past the post
was oftimes greater than his inter
est in which run was first past tie
plate.
The weakest pitcher in the 1925
worlds series was Joe Bush. Bush
broke down twice and was BIZ
hard when hits meant runs. The
second poorest pitcher for the
Yanks was Mays. Hoyt was the
Yank pitcher who did the best
work according to the earned run
standard sand Shawkey was next
:; Hoyt pitched a lazy game but he
held the Giants in check better
than the other Yankee hurlers.

(By Consolidated Press.)

1t is no wonder that reports to-
day from various football camps
told of hospital lists. The weather
this week nearly everywhere in the
east at least has been conducive to
injuries. 1t is the wise coach who
has refrained from driving too
hard on slippery fields this week
in his desire to perfect certain
plays on which he counts on COM
ing out at the long end of next Sat
urday's scores. 1t is strange that
the same thing happens year after
year, and that some of the best
football mentors overlook this
feature until too late. However
injuries in the big camp are not as
bad as they have been in former
years after two or three days OF
bad weather.

Trend OF the discussion already
indicates that strenuous move will
be made to have the point after
touchdown eliminated entirely from
the 1928 playing code and rule a
touchdown as counting seven
points. 1t is argued that the touch
down is most difficult of any score
to make and that 1t is not fair to
a team which batters its way across
the goal line to have the score
evened by two goals from field. BY
making a touchdown count seven
and doing away with the extra point
feature, three dropkicks or as many
