conference athletic directors Friday
night completed a two days discus
sion of ways and means of eliminat-
ing protest. onalism. from college ath-
letics. but refused to make public
any of their proceedings other than
those pertaining to minor affairs.
Fielding II. Yost, OF Michigan, was
named chairman of a committee to
sift down plans suggested during
several hours Of talk. This commit
tee will draw up definite recommen-
dations on preventing a recurrence
Of the scandals which recently barred
more than a score Of athletes from
college sports, and report back to
the directors asso citation later-prob-
ably in April. The directors will
then pass on to the faculty confer
ence committee definite decommen-
dations on the matter for action at
the June meeting in Iowa City.

more secret than a private political

pledged himself not TO divulge any
Of the proceedings other than those
contained in a brief formal state
ment. 1t announced June 10 as the
date for the conference golf tourna-
ment; May %. 26 and 81 for the

cussed, il was understood that those
dealing with the reported methods
OF attracting high school stars TO
some universities received the most
attention. This was declared by some
10 be the chief causes OF violation
OF the rules on amateurism and IL
was understood that Mr.. Yost's COM
mittee would go into this subject.
The general sentiment among the
directors in the past has been that
the present conference rules are
strong enough if properly enforced,
and the committee is expected to
present concrete suggestions on
tightening up the enforcement Of the
regulations

a strong defense means much in
baseball.
10 team was a better example Of
this theory than the Chicago White
Sox OF 1906.
The White sox were known as
the "Hitless Wonders" The Chi
cago team seldom made more than
three or four runs in game
Three or four runs were usual
~ enough TO win, however, since
the club had a great defense. back
ed up by a fine pitching staff.
The defense Of a ball club cent
ers around the infield. II is the
inner wall. A good outfield Is very
necessary, but the percentage Of
ground balls IS much greater than
balls hit in the air.
That is why good inaeld means
so much TO a ball club. Perfect
execution OF plays on the part OF
the infeld does much to break down
the offensive Of an opponent.
There Is nothing more discourage
ing than to see the infelders cut
off base hits by sensational PLAYS
afeld. II not only breaks down
the morale OF the opponent, but It
holsters the confidence OF the
pitchers.

best infeld
II you happen 10 be a National
League partisan without any hes
itancy you would say New York
Giants.
II you are strong for the John
sonian circuit you would no doubt
pick the Washington club.
Groh Strengthens Infeld
The addition Of Heine Groh has
unqUestionably made the New York
inheld a formidable aggregation,
one OF the best in the history OF the
game
The coming OF Groh means that
Frankie Frische will be shifted TO

Kelly at first. Frisch at second,
Bancroft at shortstop and Groh at
third Is some aggregation,
The coming of Peckinpaugh to
Washington gives that club a cork
ing inheld. II was weak at short
Judge at first, Harris at second,
Peckinpaugh at short and Shanks
at third is about the cream OF the
American League talent.
I think a draw would be an ex-
cellent decision in making a COM
parison Of the two clubs.
Judge is more valuable first
baseman than Kelly. Frisch is
remarkable ball player. That goes
be playing a new position. If there
is a shade I would give 1t to Harris.
Bancroft and Pecdnbaugh rates
about the same 10 me. Shanks is a
fine player but Groh must be given
the edge on third.
Draw is Good Decision
Let us say that F'risch and Har-
RS and Bancroft and Peckinpaugh
are even-steppers. Judge has the
edge on I.slly and Groh has the
edge on Shanks. That makes II
all even. Our decision is a draw.
