SQUAD WORKS IN
.DOWNPOUR OF RAIN

Special 10 The Evening Journal.
NEWARK. oct. 24.-Despite the
downpour OF rain Coach McAvoy put
the University OF Delaware football
squad through a stiff signal prac-
tice yesterday afternoon and went
over with the men some OF their
mistakes IN the game against Rhode
Island State at Kingston. r. T.. on
Saturday. Coach McAvoy Is far from
satisfied with the work OF the team
az a whole IN that game as Il did
not near come up 20 expectations.
The fact that Delaware made 1G
frst downs in the game 20 but four
for Rhode Island and then got beat
n proof in itself that something must
have been wrong. The lean lacked
the puich 20 put the ball over after
repeatedly carrying Il for some dis
lance. The line held Rhode Island
well on defense whofh is shown by
the fact that their opponents got but
four fret downs but they made
successful long forward pass which
resulted in a touchdown and No
tory.
Captain williams was the only
bsckhsld man that seemed TO be
able 20 gain consistently and most
OF the first downs were the result Of
his work Mcdonald. who played
the entire game. also. did fairly well
u Is said. considering mo fact that
he had been out OF the game with
an injured ankle for nearly three
weeks. Elliott IL still suffering withr
bolts which. no doubt. handicaps his
work. and the playing OF sherpak
ala not come up 70 expectations.
Coach McAvoy as a result OF this
showing Saturday will work the
squad unusually hard this week 20
try and get them IN shape for the
p. NJ. c. game az Chester on satur-
day.
u has been announced that Harry
Jackson, star haifback. who did not
take the Rhode Island trip because
OF two broken ribs that he got in the
Ursinus game. Is probably out for
the season owing 10 studies. This

Coach McAvoy has lost for the year
to date. Johnny Schaefer Is out with

John McGraw. famous manager OF
the New York Giants. has bsen ac-
cused OF buying many psnnsnt IN
the National League.
True. McGraw has often gone out
and purchased some big star when
his club appeared TO be fading. His
fat bank roll made such a thing pos
sible.
Near tho close Of the 1922 race the
pitching OF the Giants began 20 fall
ter. MoGrew paid Boston a fancy
price for McQuillan. While Moouil-
Ian helped considerable he was OF
no more value than John Scott.
Scott pitched the only shutout
game Of the world series. allowing
tho Yankees only four hits. Scott
had fair speed. nothing dazzling. yet
the Yankees couldn't-hit him. de
spite the fact that he pitched right
in the groove" TO many OF the Yam
keee' sluggers
Scott didn't cost McGraw cent.
Had he been purchased from some
National League club for a big sum
that shutout victory would have
caused all kinds Of adverse COM
mont
Pat Moran, one OF the wisest man
ayers in baseball, turned Scott sdrift-
After carrying Scott for six weeks
with a hope that his arm would
come around. Moran give Il up as
fruitless-
Late in the season Scott reported
to McGraw. asking that he be given
a chance. He said he believed he
could pitch winning ball.
MoGraw proved himself a good
Judge OF human nature by listening
70 what Scott said. Looks as II
Scott might win ss many games for
McGrsw next year as some OF his
high-priosd stars.

COBB HAD RIGHT
DOPE ON RUTH

Ty Cobb Is wise IN all things
pertaining 20 baseball.
Three years ago. when Ruth was
the talk OF the baseball world the
biggest sensation the game has ever
known because OF his sluggipg
ability. someone asked Cobb what
he thought Of the Babe.
1.-THE big fellow Is a wonder" re-
marked Cobb, but he has a big Job
ahead Of him 20 keep the place in
the publrs eye that he now holds.
Hitting home runs day after day
is far more difhcult than doing the
things that I have done 10 keep my
name before the public.
MY task is 20 make base HIS
and show some speed on the bases.
Ruth's task is to keep on hitting the
ball farther than anyone else can.
I'm order TO continue doing that
Ruth must take the best Of care Of
himself. There must be co-ordina-
ton between the eye and the mus
cles OF the body He must be able
to time the ball perfectly.
IF Ruth takes on weight, in
creases his walstlne. HIS natural
swing is certain 20 suffer. His eye
won't be right.
II am afraid Ruth Is going 20 get
heavy. II he does. the pitchers will
soon gain the mastery over him.
When they do he Is going to slip
rapidly. Ruth must be a well-con-
ditioned athlete or his fame is 60
ing 10 be short lived"
Ruth's showing in 1922 certainly
bears out the opinion Cobb ex-
pressed three years ago.
