What good comes Of a big team
like Yale-playing a little team
like Bates? Not a great deal of
intrinsic benefit for either outfit
one may believe. AS for the
coaches of the big fellow no doubt
the game is valuable inasmuch as
it gives them a line upon the abil-
ity of a great number of candi-
dates. 1t is interesting to note
that Tad Jones, Ya1e's head coach,
and his end coach, Conner Ford, to-
day are placing emphasis upon the
development Of ends as a result of
the Bates game. Half a dozen of
them were sent into action.
Not a one promises to develop
into a Shevlin, a Bomeisler. or a
Fitzpatrick; but all were good aver
age material. In receiving for
ward passes they did well enough
but their work was not SO devious,
not SO elusive as that of Kiley and
Anderson of Notre Dame.
Evidently Captain Jordan and
Mallory are to be something more
than mere defensive backs this sea
son. They are to be taught to run
with the ball. The line is rugged
and fiery.
Yale showed how she will attend
the matter of kicking goals after
first downs. O'Hearn, Beckett and
Kelly were used as drop-kickers
from scrimmage whenever the ex-
ira point was needed and their
skill was attested by the fact that
six out of seven goals after touch
downs were dropped by these
young men. All in all, Yale today
looks more than usually promising

New York, Sept. 26.-The enthus-
lasm, the serious purpose and the
loyalty which have characterized
all concerned with southern foot
ball in the past decade will show
important results in the current
gridiron season, everything today
indicates. The time has passed
when the prestige Of Doxie land is
to be represented by one university.
Now the south has come to the
group phase and in this respect
there is bound to be expansion year
by year.
Just at present Georgia Tech,
Georgia university, Center and
Auburn form big four whose ma
terlal, methods of coaching and
style Of play are national in, po-
tency and scope. And who knows
when this quartet will broaden into
a quintet and a sextet? The middle
west will receive more than hint
Of what has been going on in the
south when Georgia university
leaves Athens to play Chicago Oct.
z, while on the plains of West
Point, Oct. IA, Auburn will show
the Army. win or lose, that the
southland knows modern football.
Georgia today has a rod in pickle
for Chicago. Last year at Cam
bridge the Athenians put up a
brand Of defense that compared
with the best shown In the east, It
is hopeful sign when a football
eleven plays a rigid and discerning
defense. 1t means that the coach
ing has been sound, that the tempta-
ton TO build an attack at the ex-
pense Of fundamentals has been re-
sisted. Now with many veterans Of
fine quality back, Coach Stegeman
has been In a position to build an
offense from the ground up. Chi
cago will do well to note this game
seriously.
As to the Army the writer in in a
position to knew that the cadet
coaching staff is not taking the
Auburn game by any means as a
matter of course. There is a wealth
Of veteran material on the Auburn
squad. There are some 80 candi-
dates who today have chance to
make the varsity, with other play
ers who probably will not be ripe
for big comrDy until next year.
The team will not average more
than IFS POUNDS.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Sept 90
by The Associated Press. 1.-The
University of Minnesota 1922 foot
ball squad, well into the second
week of training, gives promise Of
developing a we'll balanced first
string team, with the reserves a
questionable collection. The fight
ing spirit, however, is expected to
carry the squad long way, ac-
cording to Fred Luerhing, athletic
director, who declared: Il have
seen better material at Nebraska,
but never a better fighting spirit"
Director Luerhing formerly was in
charge of athletics at Nebraska.
The backfield candidates are
showing well in the kicking and
passing game, giving indications
that Minnesota will have the strong
est kicking combination in her his
tory. Martineau, Gilstad, Ecklunl
and Furst, with Cy Olson and
Myrum form a highly promising
kicking combination.
Martineau, Gilstad and Ecklund

New York, Sept. 26.-Besides the

Babe Ruth as this years home run
king, Rogers Hornsby, brilliant
second sacker of the ST. Louis Car

maintaining or improving this
mark in the few remaining games
on the schedule. His log today
showed 13S runs and 242 hits for

old Philadelphia club, was the last
National Lacquer to wind up the
season with an average over 400.

New York, Sept. 26.-The better
the Catcher the greater the chance
any baseball team has to win q
world series. This is an axiom in
the national game that is SO true
it proves itself. The catcher is not
the most IMPORTANT player in the
series. but he is the second most
important on the field. The most
important is the pitcher. In a short
series. the pitcher stands out SUI
perior to all other players.
On the dope up to today the best
catchers of the two New York
teams are Schang for the Yankees
and Snyder for the Giants. Be-
cause both Of them caught in the
worlds series Of 1921. opportunity
is available for direct comparison.
Snyder worked in seven world 8
series games last season and
Schang in eight. Neither Of them
made an error and Schang more
than doubled the assists of his
rival. He had II to five for Sny-
der. AS both of the teams stole
practically a like number of bases,
this would indicate that Schang was
out-throwing Snyder, and he was,
but it was such trifle that it did
not amount to much. Frisch stole
three bases during the series and
was really the base stealing king
The American league players stole
more freely on Smith than on Sny-
| der and Smith caught mediocre
baseball. There was nothing up to
average in his work.
Schang Has Experience.
That which was of the greater
importance to Schang in addition
! to his physical ability was his ex-
perience in world series. He caught
in his first series in 1913. He was
with Philadelphia in the American
league and the Athletics won easily
from the Giants. 1t was a lame
! duck series because the New Yorf
! team was crippled out of all sem
blance to the demands for world
series play.
Meyers was to have opposed hin
for New York, but the Indian wa:
hurt on the second day and never
played again. Mclean took up thu
burden of work and caught beauti
! fully. 1t was the crowning worl
! in the baseball career of the er
ratio Larry. He really did too we'll

His figure was .40S in 1899. Prior
to that the select circle of 400 hit
tiers included Willie Keller, Adrian
C. (Pop) Arson. Jesse Burkett,
Hugh Duffy and Ross Barnes.
Since it started in 1900, the
American league has produced
three 400 hitters, Nap Lajoie, Ty
Cobb and George Sisler. Cobb
reached the coveted mark in 1911
and 1912, while Sisler is likely to
improve by a considerable margin
this year his figure Of .407, made in
1920.
In the race for circuit clouting
konors, Hornsby. with AZ to his
credit, has a lead of three over his
nearest rival. Kenneth Williams Of
the st. Louis Browns, while Ruth,
unable to overcome the handicap OF
a delayed start, has 35, with only
four more games in which to boost
his total.

More than 100 Of the choicest

on missing any game. Judging
from the crowd of nearly 1000
which attended the practice game
with the Moline Indians last Sun
day. Douglas park will be well filled

next Sunday. Good advice is to
order seats early.
Jerry Johnson is on the tenn
pcrary retired list. He received a
turned ankle last Sunday which
seems to be growing worse, and he
has been ordered to rest several
days. 1t is questionable whether
he will be able to play next Sun
day. All of which means that the
team will probably enter the con-
test handicapped.

It went to his head. and did him
more mischief than value in the
long run.
Schang caught again for Phila-
delphia in 1914 when the Boston
Nationals won in four straight
games. He was completely sur
passed by Gowdy. but was no worse
than others of his team. for the
Athletics were whipped from the
start. Their great fight was in the
third game which they ran up to

In Five Series.
In 1918 Schafig caught for the
Boston Americans. 1t was fair
race between him and Killefer, but
Schang, like his, team, lasted bet
ter than the opposition. His turn
came again in 1921 withsNew York
and will come once more with New
York. This will be his fifth ven
ture into a world series. Few there
are who can boast of such a record
in the major league post-season
event.
There is little to choose from be-
tween Schang and Snyder If atten-
ton is to be directed solely to their
physical skill. Snyder is likely to
outbat Schang, because he is bet
ter natural hitter. yet Schang is a
hitter who must be watched with
attention. Both of the players are
free swingers and long drivers
Schang possibly can place the ball
little better than Snyder. He
handles a bat more adeptly than
his. rival Schang will throw well

be pushed to the limit all of the
