Leach Hits .361.
The International league batting
averages. published today, show AZ
in the 800 class, with Fothergill of
Rochester far in the lead with 1888.
His nearest competitor is Leach, of
the same club with .361. Leach was
purchased from Waterloo, Iowa, OF
the Mississippi Valley league. In
cidehtally, Rochester has eight
players who batted 800 or over. and
besides having the leading batter,
has also, the bottom place in the
800 list, in Gagnon who had an even
800. The Rochester clubs batting
average is 1902. Baltimore closely
trailing with .301, and Newark in
last place with 1853.

VACATION OFF


Vacation may be vacation to some
people, but for the Augustana bass
ketball squad there is no letup.
Although the majority Of students
at the Lu1 eran institutions are
home enjoying the merry makings
of the Christmastide and have
nothing on their minds but their
hats, it is different with Coach
Swedberg's bunch of cage artists.
Art Is drilling. his men two hours
each afternoon. He Is taking no
chances on his squad getting out
OF condition SO. tnat upon the re-
sumption OF school it will be just
like beginning all over again.
He is fortunate in TINS respect,
in tnat with tine exception OF two

went to the top OF his triumph
when he piloteu his team from
quarterback position. His direction
OF the play in the Ohio State game
was remarkable, and, in ADDITION
IN ~ running attempts he mada
an average gain of nve yards in
each attempt.
kaW OF Cornell needs little intro
ducfion after his work of the last
twQ years. To those who have not
seen him play, however, it should
be said that he is the greatest all
around backfield man in the coun-
try.
Kipke of Michigan can hardly
say too much for this sterling per-
former. He is of more wiry type
than my other backs, and requires
a pit more care in handling, but he
makes up for this in his exception
al speed and lodging qualities.

through the season, but particular
ly in the Penn State and Army
games. His catching Of passes IS
uncanny, and his driving in. of
plays sent in his direction is strik-
ingly good. He is remarkably fast
down the field, cannot be checked,
and slows down nicely to meet his
man.
Muller Of California is the most
deft man in the country in the art
of shifting through interference
and finding the man with the ball.
Although he begins by forcing the
play to turn in, owing to his weight
and power, he is not content with
that, but, If he sees his chance,
shoots through the protectors and
snaps his man.
Treat of Princeton is of that
rangy, powerful type essential in
the modern game. But he is. also
particularly strong in diagnosing
the play quickly and in never be-
ing drawn too far out OF position.
Thurman of Pennsylvania, like
Treat, is fast and powerful, with
an intense fighting spirit developed
to the extreme by the fact that he
has had to be the bulwark of an
eccentric line and stand up against

Schwab of Lafayette was, as of
old, the same exceptional combina-
tion of power ana speed. He is a
guard who is never anchored, and
one Of the cleverest linemen in the
country in drawing his opponents
out of position and in ueceiving
them as to the point of attack.
Hubbard of harvard was the
outstanding man on the Harvard
line this year, and he is patterned
somewhat after Schwab of Lafay-

i Garbisch of West Point is an
ideal center in field of good men,
and the added asset of his drop
kicking is the factor in his finally
supplanting all others; that mar
