yOST OPPOSES
LONG TRIP OF
COLLEGE TEAM
Says Athletics Are Secondary to
EducatiOn-TOO Many POST
Season Games.
BY FIELDING II. YOST.

Famous Michigan Football Coach.)
College football is being overdone
in certain features.
l have reference particularly to
the increasing number OF pOst-sea-
son games that are being played.
The football season should end
by the last Saturday of November.
Ten weeks is plenty of football. u
weeks at the outside.
Unless steps are taken to stop
the amending competition. football
is certain to lose caste with its sup
porters.
The recent tendency TO go on
trips across the continent resent
bles the Transforming" tours of
tie professional teams
If this CrOss-COuntTy touring in
creases. the great American anna
teur game will soon degenerate
into a contest to see which college
can send its team on the longest
trips.
A few years ago only one team
went. Now every school wants
10 go.
wren will the procession end
Unless some check is put on this
going to the coast" it's going to
be a mad scramble every fall to get
the assignment
| fear a reaction will set in from
such long trips that will work to
the great detrimeLP. of the game.
Too much football is making a
lot of people lose sight of the main
object of college training.
A great many people seem 10
think that students go to college to
make the football team.
Men go to college for an educa-
ton. This fact should be remem-
bered. The university makes the
football team possible, not the foot
ball team the university.
Post-season trips take entirely
too much time from the players
studies. 1t seriously handicaps the
college work of the athlete.
Long practice hours and days off
for trips called for by the regu-
lar schedule make it a difficult mat
ter for the football player to keep
his college work up to the required
standard.
Add to this an extended trip to
the coast, which keeps the team
away from their college work for
a couple of weeks, and the load is
too much for them to carry.
Such a condition places emphasis
on athletics rather than on the ed
ucational feature of the university
1t is an unhealthy state and should
not be permitted.
Intercollegiate athletics teach CO.
ordination for the accomplishment
of a task. initiative, self-confidence
and self-control
All these qualities so essential to
success in life are drilled into the
athlete and they serve well after
graduation.
These same qualities are vital in
securing an education. The recrea-
ton derived makes for better health
and improved work in the class
room.
However. much Of the example
and incentive that intercollegiate
athletics give. will be wasted if the
sport becomes commercialized and
professionalism by the present ten
dency of a great many college teams
to barnstorm.

KID PITCHERS MAY
SURPRISE MACKMEN

One big reason why Connie Mack
hopes to make considerable trouble
this year lies is his pitching staff.
In addition to his egulars-Harris,
Hasty. Rommel. Naylor and Moore
he believes three OF the youngsters
taken south will prove valuable sec
ond string men.
Heimach, a left handler, tried out
last spring and then sent to Moline,
H., is certain to stick.
He helped Earl Mack win a pennant
in the Three-I Leauge. where he won
"a and lost eight games. He also is
a good hitter and Connie expeits some
help from him.
Bryan YarriSon, with Rocky Mount
last year, is a pitcher of the Carl
Mays type. He uses an underhand
delivery that is very effective. Var
rison is a graduate OF Gettysburg
College.
F'rark Lotus, who pitched in the
Blue Ridge League last season. looks
promising. He has done excellent
work in the exhibition games.

Spalding's Official Baseball Record

In attempting to make the book
as nearly error proof as possible 1t
has again been carefully reviewed.
Careful investigation of some OF
the records of the days of dad, as
well as mere hearsay, have been un-
made after careful editing.
One of the most important changes
relates to the home run record OF
the National League.
Cravath, formerly of the Phillies,
has been credited with holding the
league record for home runs with III.
1t develops that the honor really
belongs to Sam Thompson, who. while
with the Detroit and Philadelphia
clubs, piled up 127 home runs in IA
seasons.
A new chapter in the book deals
with worlds series records. The in
dividual performances of every play

BASEBALL TEAM
TWELVE To FIVE

The Mesa Jackrabbits came to
Phoenix yesterday afternoon to en-
gage in a baseball duel with the
Coyotes. When the smoke of battle
had cleared the Mesa High school
boys were on the short end OF a l2-5
score and the Coyote rooters were
exercising their lungs between notes
dispensed by the military band.
The game stood two to one in favor
Of the Coyotes for five innings, but
Pitcher Newell of Mesa hooked his
wagon to a star in the sixth frame
and before he could get down to
earth he was replaced by Dobson and
five scores. Mesa scored in the sec
ond inning, again in the seventh and
pushed three runs across the plate
in the first half Of the ninth. while
the Coyotes slaughtered the Jackrab-
bits for five more in the last half.
Fred Miller pitched nice game
for Phoenix tanning 10 batters and
allowing three bases on balls. Wilky
was on the receiving end and he
played a brilliant game.
Center Fielder Simpkins was the
fielding star for the visitors and
Newell was the star batter. Newell
cracked out a homer before he was
yanked in the sixth inning.

Mitchell Says Braves Wiu
Be Contender in National.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla March 80
Manager Fred Mitchell of the Bos-
ton Braves Is convinced that his club
is going to be strong factor in the
National league race.
The Braves, as they take the field
for the 1922 campaign, loom up as
club without single weak spot. The
Braves stand ready and look able
to give the Giants. Cardinals and Pi-
rates the fight of their young lives.
Last season many ball game was
lost around shortstop. The deal that
brought Larry Kopf to the Braves
from Cincinnati has plugged UP that
hole.
extensively the Braves of 1921
ranked next to the st. Louis Car
dinals. The club retains its bat
ting strength and in addition has
been much improved defensively.
Larry Kopf at shortstop. in COM
bination with Horace Ford at second
base, is expected to be the making
OF the ball club defensively.
Ford is rated as one of the best
second basemen the National league
has produced in years. Working with
the veteran Kopf, it is believed that
his game will be improved 25 per
cent.
Manager Mitchell is convinced the
stories coming out of Cincinnati rel
ative to Kopf's poor condition are the
bunk His legs are sound and his
arm is as good as ever.
Kopf says any ailment he had
while at Cincinnati was mental rath-
er than physical. He is thoroughly
satisfied with his surroundings and
prospects and likes to play for Man
ager Mitchell. He expects to have
big season.
The club is well equipped for sub
stitutes. Mitcheil's secondary de-
fense is in keeping with his regulars.
Another thing that greatly favors
the Braves. il you will take Manager
Mitchells word for it, is the schedule.
This season the Braves will have
the advantage of playing away from
Boston during most of April and May,
thereby escaping the keen knife of
the Boston east wind, so hard upon
ball players condition.

ANNUAL COYOTE
INDIAN SCHOOL
ATHLETIC NEE 7
THIS AFTERNOON

The annual Coyote-Indian track
meet will be held on the high school
athletic field this afternoon begin
ming at 2 o'clock. With the exception
OF the University of Arizona team the
indians are considered the strongest
track and field men the Coyotes will
meet this year.
Last Saturday afternoon the In
dams defeated Mesa high school IN
the inter-eity clash and they are hg-
lured strong contenders to lower Co
vote colors this afternoon.
Coach Heinderich has developed
another good team this year. and ne
hopes to even better records made by
his state champions last year. Inc
relay team is especially fast and the
knowing ones do not hesitate to de-
clare this years team the best ever
turned out at Phoenix high.
The Coyotes were scheduled to hold
meet last week, but the athletic
manager was unable to get suitable
opponents and the Coyotes will go on
the field this afternoon tuned through
long weeks of hard work under the
watchful eye of Coach Heinderich.
Mckinney is considered the best
bet in the 100 and 220 yard dash;
Brown is the hope or the team III lns
l440 yard dash and Davis is the hall
miller. Captain Workman viii conflne
his energies to hurting the discus and
he can be relied upon to score several
points for the Coyotes.
The Indians are strong on endur-
snce events and with the material
left from last year should give the
COYOTES something to worry about.
This will be the Coyotes first track
meet of the year and on the outcome
of today's meet the coach and loyal
supporters will base their hopes Tor
the state meet where many records
are expected to be lowered.

Yanks viii Start
Season With Weak
Outergarden Subs

NEW ORLEANS, La. March 81
The one soggy sector in the New YORK
Yankees battle front is the outfleld
and this is rated as weak only be-
cause Babe Ruth and Bobbie Meusel
are under suspension for violations Of
the anti transforming rule last fall.
They will not be eligible to play un-
til the Goth of May.
This means that Higgins will have
to start the season with 9. makeshltt
outfield which may or may not be up
TO major league standards. Certainly
it will not possess the offensive punch
which the great Bambino and the
languid Californian gave to the
picket line trio of last year.
Elmer Miller. acquired in trade
from the St. Paul club, of the Amer
lean association last summer. Will
again play center field, with Wilson
(Chick( Fewster in left and Camp
skinner, from the Dallas club of the
Texas league. or Hinkey Haines. for
mer Penn State football star. in right.
This arrangement is neither no
tably weak nor is it very strong. 1t
seems to be the best that the out
field material at Manager Miller
Huggins' disposal permits.
Miller is a splendid fielder. but an
uncertain hitter and Fewster and
skinner are good hitters but erratic
fielders. Haines is wonderful de-
fensive man, quite as effective IN
this respect as Elmer Miller himself
However. it is a question whether
he will ever be able to hit up to ma
jor league requirements.
Haines is naturally & right hand
ed batter but seems to be muscle
bound, in his right shoulder and can
not get a good. free swing from his
normal stance.
Manager Miller Higgins has him
batting left handed this spring and
the results to date have been most
encouraging But whether he vii
continue to hit when the pitchers gel
good is another thing again.
