Gierschevski Has Set Great
Record in Track, Baseball
and Football.

The fact that George Gierschevsli.
high school athlete of note, is of heroic
stature. feet 2 inches in height and 1877
pounds in weight. does not in itself ac-
count for his prowess in three branches
of sport, track, baseball and football, for

When the new term opened in Sep
tember, 1920. he tried for the football

practicing. So he answered the call for

season he continued to run on the mile

Carnegie Tech Nine Strong
in Pitching and Batting
Auspicious Start Is Made
Against Westminster College.

Special Dispatch to THE New YoRK HEsALp.
PITTSBURGH, April 15.-The Carnegie
Tech baseball season opened auspic-
iously last week with victory over
Westminster College in their game
played on Tech field. The final score,
S-3, does not show the superiority of
the Plaid baseball tossers over their
rivals. Carnegie Tech went into the
game with patched lineup, playing
three pitchers aside from the one who
how we'll they came out.
The games to be played this week
against West Virginia University on
April 81 and 30 will find the team ma
terially strengthened by the addition OF
men who were ineligible for the opening
games, and for that reason will present
much stronger front.
The most satisfying thing about the
games so far played was the great show
of strength with the bludgeon and the
pitching. Without a doubt the mounds
men are the strongest ever gathered to-
gether by Carnegie Tech, and before the
season is over will have given many
good teams quite bit of trouble. The
lineup includes seven men who can
pound the ball for a general average of
close to 800.
The new 100000 gymnasium plans
are rapidly nearing completion, and
work will start within a week or ten
days. This gym will be one of the fin
est in the country in equipment floor
space, arrangement and design. There
will be floor of 200x90 feet, while on
the first floor will be swimming pool
70x40 feet. 1T is expected that this gym
will be ready for the basketball season

URBANA. nj. April 25.-The increas-
ing importance of psychology in ath-
letics is indicated by the recent addition
of a representative of the Department
of Psychology to the faculty advisory
staff of Coach Zuppke at the University
of Illinois, and the establishment OF
research organization to delve into the
mysteries of "head-work" on the gridiron
diamond and track.
DIR. Coleman r. Griffith. associate in
psychology at the university, has under
taken the task OF exploring the new field,
which promises to have an important
bearing upon future coaching practice.
Results already have demonstrated the
value of the work. In the view of Illinois
athletic officials. Following a full years
on the local campus in
which psychic aspects of all the major
sports will be studied. text book on the
subject will be compiled and course
for future coaches and athletics devel-
oped for inclusion in the university cur
riclum which will attempt to explain the
psychological phenomena of competitive
games.
The work of DR.. Griffith will be seen
first as a factor in the gridiron clashes
of the Illinois team next season. when
the athletes, who for years have ap-
peared in dark blue Jersey. will be at
tired in blending combinations or orange,
canary yellow and white. The change Is
ordered by the simple physiological fact
that in looking from the corner of the
eye only certain colors are visible. The
football star, in picking a man for a pass
will be greatly aided by the rainbow-like
dress of his teammates. The baseball
pitcher. basketball player and track en-
tran. aft OF whom also are fQrced to rely
to a great extent upon Indirect vision
for the success of their play, will be
helped by the new uniforms.

Psychology to Play Part
In Varsity Team Choices
Illinois Starts Research Into Mysteries of Headwork
in Sport-Getting Index of Relative Mental
and Muscular Speed

One of the most interesting OF a series
Of experiments will be made this spring
when DIR. Griffith will subject every
member of the football squad TO an
exhaustive series of tests through which
he will attempt to select the personnel
OF the 1922 conference eleven.
Another plan of interest to the coach
is that to determine reactions In the
players. BY combining the data on a
large number of athletes DR.. Griffith
has established an average reaction
time for competitions in the various de-
partments of sports. as an index Of
relative mental and muscular speed. The
tests are made with unique instrument,
the Vernier chronoscope, which measures
time in thousandths Of second and may
be made visual or tactual to determine
the various types of reaction. Numerous
experiments are planned to develop other
phases of psychology as related to ath-
letics.
The course which DR.. Griffith is for
mulating will present data revealing
cross sections of the players mind at
various moments in the game and will
urge the practical application of psy-
chology to the coaches everyday prob
lens. Such questions as action atten-
ton, instinct. emotion. memory and

problems of fight, selection, morale and
mental health approached from new
angle
Until he can make an exhaustive
study OF athletics under all conditions

checked SO well with the results obtained
on the gridiron that Director of Athletics
Huff and his staff have great hopes for
the future Of "the psychology of ath-
letics."

be national in scope as far as the legion
and service events are concerned. and

Gently in washington and they promised
every aid in their power to see that the
