COACH De HART
At LEXINGTON
IN GOOD TINE
Though Young Man Yet, Gen.
erals New Mentor Has
Had Experience.

LEXINGTON, Va. Sept. 16.-
With his first year at Washington
and Lee University Head Coach
Jimmie DeHart comes in at a very
critical time I'm the Generals foot
ball history, this being the first year
Of the application Of the Southern
Conference rules regarding first
year men and migrating athletes, as
well as the fact that one Of the
hardest and most important sched.
ules attempted by the Lexington
team is before the fighting Generals
this year.
Though a comparatively young
man in the coaching line, the Gen.
erals new mentor has had a wide
experience in athletics. Besides
having been one Of the most promi.
nent athletes ever turned out from
Pitt, he coached the champion army
elevent Of the west coast during the
war period OF 1918, eonquerors Of
the Oregon Aggles' famous team of
that year, and served a year as an
assistant coach at the University OF
Georgia.
He viii DE assisted by "Shifty''
Moore. tackle and CAPTAIN of the
Generals in 1920 and 1921; r. A.
Smith, Of Washington and Lee,
former coach at Fisheburne Military
School; Z. Z. Brett. of Springfield
Y. M. c. A. College, and E. p.
Davis, of Washington and Lee.
In spite of the fact that the Gen.
erals return twelve letter men from
last year, DeHart faces hard
proposition, In view of the fact that
he will not be able to depend on
the freshman class of this fall for
new material. In fact, no new ma
terial is available except those men
that were here in the university
and did not come out last year.
The greatest loss will no doubt
be felt in the line, where the nb-
sence Of Lindsay Moore at tackle
and Doc Rangeley at guard will be
most noticeable.
However, with q squad OF fifty
men already out, reporting twice
q day, and more arriving, the Fight
ing Generals are preparing to pre-.
sent a strong front TO the North
Carolina State College eleven when
the Tarheels come to Lexington for
the first big game OF the year on
October Z. After that the Generals
take on West Virginia, Virginia,
Centre, V. P. l. and Johns Hopkins

When Charlie West, w. and Us

ninety-eight yards for q touchdown
against the powerful Syracuse eleven
last year, he was performing the
greatest stunt Of It's kind for the
entire campaign. 1t was that touch
down, too, that was the margin of
victory for the Pennsylvanians, for
the score was II to 10 in their favor
with the final whistle.
George Hill, too, performed a real
stunt when he received the Pitts
burgh kickoff and Travelled back
ninety-two yards for n touchdown.

A bad leg in the early part of the
season prevented Frisch from steal
ing his usual quota Of bases, even
after he returned to McGraw's lima
UP, but Frankie now Is able to show
his full speed on the base lines.
Should the Giants play the Browns,
Frisch's speed will offset that Of the
flash Of the Browns, George Sisler.
On the other hand, should the
Giants again be pitted against the
Yankees, Frisch will be the fastest
thing on the Polo Grounds diamond,
the same as he was last fall.
Frisch started off the 1921 worlds
series by making four of the five
Giant hits off Mays in the first
game. However, other Giant play
ers outbatted him In the series,
though he finished with nine hits,
for a batting average Of just 300.
He made two errors at third base,
and had a fielding rating of .949.
The splendid playing Of Martin
Barney" McManus has been a great
factor in keeping the Browns in
front or fighting for the top. Marty
and Lu Blue. Of the Detroit Tigers,
are the most improved young play
ers OF the year. Not only has Mar
ty's fielding been brilliant. but his
batting average has jumped forty
points.
And the Irishman can get a lot Of
distance to his clouts. His collec-
ton OF extra base hits Is greater
than that of any Of his second.base
rivals. Should the Browns get into
the series. McManus Is ohe type Of
player who would be likely to star.
He takes his baseball seriously
enough, but doesn't worry or fret
over 1t.
