OUertime Contests
We're the Exception
During 1921 Season

4 lively bali and mediocre pitch
ing makes for more hitting, which
means larger scores and less extra
inning games.
Alright pitching makes for light
hitting games, which means close
scores. Light hitting is certain TO
furnish more extra inning games
than free hitting.
The season Of 1921 was remark
able in many ways. The lively ball,
the mediocre pitching, made for
home runs galore, many lop-sided
scores and few extra inning games.
In a season replete with free hit
ting, the rooters had little chance
10 enthuse over extra inning affairs.
Coupled with the lop-sided scores
was the fact that on the whole the
teams in the two major leagues were
not as evenly matched as in former
years.
Decided Advantages.
In the American league last year
Cleveland and New York had decid-
ed advantage over the rest Of the
feld. The other six clubs were
spread out. il being possible TO draw
"a line of distinction almost any
where.
In the National league the Giants
and Pirates were the class Of the
league. Pittsburg led most OF the
way only to falter in the stretch,
where it became a test between the
two teams.
With the sharp line Of distinction
that existed in both leagues, coupled
with the other conditions such as
poor pitching and a lively ball, It IS
not surprising that extra inning
games were scarce last year.
In the National league the longest
game Of the season went only IT
innings. In the American league
Washington and St. Louis went TO
- innings

BY BILLY EVANS.

Introducing the wonder man" Of
basketball, Coach Meanwell Of the
University Of Wisconsin.
Every sport has its sO-called mir
acle performers. However, 1t seems
that basketball has been overlooked
in the shuttle.
Like many others who have
achieved fame in the world Of sport
Or. rMeanwelrs opportunity TO prove
his worth was largely accidental.
DUFng / 3 years Of coaching Mean
we'll has developed teams that have
won POI out Of 217 games.
In nine seasons of coaching at
universities Of Wisconsin and Mis-
souri, his teams have won 140 games
out Of 155.
OF the 1875 games played by these
colleges, 12O Of them were against
teams representing the western in
tercollegiate and Missouri valley con-
ferences.
During seven years at Wisconsin
his teams have won four champion
ships. finished in a tie for another
and third twice.
Twice, while at Wisconsin, his
teams went throu gh can entire season
indicated on four other occasions
his teams have suffered only one
defeat during the season.
Basketball is one Of the most un-
certain games Of all the sports,
which speaks all the more for Mean
Wells uncanny ability TO develop
winners.

successful IN basketball. had never
won a western conference champion
ship.
shortly after the start of the 1871
l9I2 season, Haskell NOyes, former
Yale star. who had been coaching
Wisconsin, was forced 10 quit.
Every effort was made TO secure

OF the team. AT the time DIT. Mean

gymnasium at Wisconsin. He Of
fered his services as coach until a
successor for Noyes had been de-
Cided upon.
With only mediocre material and
a coach who was merely a substi-
tute until some one else could be
secured, Wisconsin resigned itself TO
a poor year in basketball
The opening game Of the season

unexpected. Then followed six
straight wins. The athletic authori-

At the close Of the season Wis

In SIX years at Wisconsin Mean

teams and two that finished third.
Then he went TO University OF
Missouri and won two titles for that
institution in the Missouri valley
