1t may be that a team which has
a strong defense will be the surprise
Of the meet. 1t seems that in the
scramble for baskets the important
feature of holding down the score of
the opponents has been completely
forgotten in many instances. Never
has there been so many high score
games.
Example of Defense
AS an example of defense, Wiscon-
sin and Illinois battled forty minutes
Saturday with a final score Of 10 to

those teams, but the system has been
built more around defense than at
tack. That is Doc Meanwelrs way.

TlERNEY FOLLOWING IN
 HIS DADDY'S FOOTSTEPS
Father of 500 Yard Champ Was Noted Runner Quarter of Gen.
 tury Ago

1, Worcester, Fob. 2G.--'T.ike father. like son" That saying just about covers the case of Joe Tierney, the Holy Cross college track wonder. For Joe's father was one of the most not ed runners fin New England e5 years ago. When he was cleaning up in the Connecticut valley district at that time, TierneY. Sr., was considered practically unbeatable over the i00- yard or 22e-yard route.
 Joc's father holds the record of never having been beaten in 100- yard performance. He also holds a record Of never having veen beaten fin any distance up 10 a 220. Now. Joe lFs the New England 3o0.yard title under his belt, as well as the Now England outdoor quarter-mile, which he won last spring at Springfield, SO Mr. Tierney must sit back in his home in New Haven and let Joe do the running for the family.
 Although Joe's rise 10 collegiate fame has been rapid. those who knew him when he was captain Of the New Haven high school track team Of 1921 credited Joe with covering loo yards in 10 flat. His latest claim 10 fame lies in establishing a new worlds rec ord over the indoor 500 yards dis tance. which he accomplished Thurs day night in New York city

SHOCKER IS WATERING,

Unless He Comes Through in Fine style, Fans Win Re on
 ffim For Good

St. Louis, Feb. 26.--While Pitcher Urban Sneakers case has been offi- cially settled by his withdrawal of his suit to be declared n free agent. and the signing Of contract, there is certain 10 be an aftermath of the af- fair.
 Shoclor's position is far from an cnviablo one, since to have smooth sailing. he must be a winner from the start and keep at it consistently.
 Sneakers pitching ability is un- questioned. No one likes 10 win bet ter than Shocker, but tho breaks of the game often spoil q superb pitch ing effort.
 The fans Of this burg, inclined to be critical, will judge Shocker merely on results. If he--wins, fine. but If he is loser then it is certain that he will come in for "razzing," even though it be undcserved,
 Continued failure to win will cause the fans to think that he is laying down on the job because Of his winter dispute with the club owner. Like wise it is certain to create tho belief among the cycr-suspicions that pos sibly he isn't taking the best of care of himself
 Shocker must go at top speed to be immune from criticism. It's a big task that is ahead of him.

COVELESKIE SAYS
 CATCHER IS MINUS
History Shows However, That BaCkstOp is Plus Sign for HurlerS
(By Billy Evans)

What part does brainy catcher play in the career Of famous pitch CT? A recent statement by Stanley Covelcskio, star pitcher of the Cieve- land club. that he would get along just as well without Steve o'Neill, inspires the thought. For eight years O'Neill has caught coveloskie and did a good job Of it. Next summer Steve will be backstopping for Boston. Last season Covclekic won only i3 games. This year he says he will win 20, despite the fact he will be minus the guiding hand Of his old catcher.
 The history of the splitting Of fam- ous batteries shows that the pitch ,r, for n time at least. sadly misses his old battery mate. No doubt Coyeleskio feels that he will be an exception to the rule.
 In the old days when Walter John. son was at the top Of his game he missed Gabby Street any time injuries or illness forced his battery partner out of the lineup. With second. string catcher handling Johnson's de- livery the umpire calling balls and strikes never felt safe until the game was over and he had escaped serious injury. It is foolish to argue that any catcher can step in and handle tn" delivery Of some famous pitcher as well as hls regualr battery mate.
 I have always regarded John Henry and Eddie Charity great catchers. yet neither Of those two backstops during their stay with the Washington club could efficiently handle Walter John sons stufT.
 Of course there gre exceptions 10 any set rule. I have in mind the Ed Walsh.Billy Sullivan battery. On that Chicago club at tho same time was Eddie Mcfarland, q catcher iH most ways equal to Billy Sullivan. yet Me Fariand was an absolute failure in trying to handle wslsh's deceptive spitbail. Ii seemed Co Dc an accepted opinion that when sullivan passed out of the big league the effectiveness Of Walsh would be greatly decreased.
 AS Billy Sullivan approached fhe passing out stage thc Chicago club purchased d diminutive young catcher. Ray schalk. from the Milwaukee club Of the American Association. Would he try to catch Walsh?
 Fandom and scribcs rather laughed at the idea Of schaik being suilitan's successor. Lack 0f size seefnod 10 b. hfs greatest fault \ light catcher Ike Schaik could never stand up undrr fine strain of handling Wsish's dsG,rry. T. is a matter of record. however, that Walsh with seHa1k catching r8HtIn8rH Co be the san7s efsetfts tuirIar. r is douidful n any catchar could ha,a handled him better. ##
 Perhaps CoHeieskic is right in his belief that he won't miss O.Nei.L However. we have a faint aBzIdti0n that until his new catcher gets on to ihe peculiar twists Oi bis apItbaH ds- libeTy Dc siH have fond lremgrisB oI smiling stgve.
