Virginia's regulars will probably

SAN FRANCISCO STAR
IS ATTRACTING YANKS

There isn't any doubt that the
shortstop situation is giving the
greatest concern to Higgins, Colonel
Rupert and Ed Barrow. But they
are not ready to announce that
Deacon Scott is through definitely
and that they are on the hunt for
a successor to the perpetual motion
machine. Scottie was through last
winter and then he went out and
until August played a bangup game,
and hit well, too. Toward the end
of the season his legs gave him a
lot of trouble.
1t is known that the Yankees are
considering Hal Rhyme, the San
Francisco shortstop. He is practi-
cally the only minor Lacquer who
would be likely to fill the bill. How.
ever, the San francisco club is max
ing the usual fancy demands for
Rhyme, and in view of the many
lemons which have come out Of that
section at fancy prices the Yankees
may decliAe the gamble. Reports
on Rhyme are very encouraging. He
is a flashy fielder and might hit
.290 in the big show If he got started
right.

to have stated he would like to make
Mobile his home.

FEWER DOUBLE
B|LLSFAVORED
IN MAJORS
Two Games a Day Hard Drain
On Pitching Staff, Is
Claim
By BERT WALKER.

DETROIT, Nov. 7.-When the
major leagues hold their winter
meetings in New York, in Decem.
Der, among a number of important
matters to be discussed win be that
Of double headers. Most teams be-
lieve that the bargain bills are en-.
tirely too prevalent and some means
will be sought by which the number
can be cut down.
AS a general thing II is better for
team to play one game a day.
More than that is a strain on any
of the athletes. but the chief com
plant is that the doubleheaders use
up pitchers too rapidly, putting too
great a strain on the clubs.
1t happened once last summer
that the Tigers were obliged to
play eleven games in six days while
in the East.
As the rules now stand If games
are postponed on the first trip of
club to another city they may
not be played off on that visit, but
must be postponed until the next
visit. The weather being uncertain
early in the season rHle probability is
that there will be postponements
charged against the second visit.
In some cities the double header is
highly esteemed and the local team
will call off games on the slightest
provocation so as to provide for
double header and thus attract a
larger crowd. Other managers dis
like the two-a-day plan and are
eager to take care of postponements
at the earliest possible moment in
stead of letting them accumulate
Doubtless an effort will be made to
change the rule so that IL a game
is postponed on the first trip around
the circuit it may be played off on
the following day.
The Tigers do not like postpone.
ments. Last season not a single
game scheduled for Navin Field was
postponed. This is a remarkable
record, but it was possible only be
cause the local management re.
fused to call off games when 1t was
possible to play them. The manage.
ment had plenty of excuses, for
often the field was covered by
weter just before game time, but
hard work got the grounds in
shape.

scooped up by a vigilant alumni
player, who scooted across the line.
Up until that break, the varsity
team was on the proper end of a
Z to 6 score. The. varsity scored
in the first quarter when Myers,

field for seventy yards. The Alum

its gains.

Dartmouth Sips Tea
Between Halves
OF Games

HANOVER, N. H., Nov. H.
In the old days, when such
famous names as Glaze, Tobin,
Hawiey and Youngstrom rang
in Dartmouth football history,
the thought Of drinking tea Of
a fall afternoon was ridiculed.
But, as the sage has said,
"Them days are gone forever"
and Coach Jesse Hawley has
bowed to the times.
Between the halves of the
Brown game, hot tea, with
lemon juice, was served from
a tall steaming canister to the
Dartmouth varsity. Talking of
changes in strategy for the
second half was done oyer the
tea cups, and sips interpreted
decisions. The step is but an
other phase of the remarkably
different method of training
introduced by Doctor Walter
Emerson.

BABE RUTH TELLS KAMM
HOW TO LAND ON SPHERE

Babe Ruth, who is out on the
coast gathering in the shekels, had
talk with Willie Kamm, the third
baseman of the White Sox, the
other day and gave the youngsteT
some advice. Ruth told Willie that
IL he did not change his batting
style he would be back in the minors
next summer.
Kamm has a most serious flaw in
his hitting method. He hits up at
the ball, which is not calculated to
make a 800 man out of the San
Francisco youth. For a spell the
pitchers weren't wise to this habit
of Kamms, but when the word got
around that he was hitting up the
singers got his number and Kamm's
average began to wilt like the roses
in July.

Fielding H Yost, of course, is not

but he does think that his eleven
is vastly better than its record indi-
Gates, and quotes the following to
prove it: Michigan got four first
downs against Minnesota and won,
A3 to o; Michigan got seven first
Towns against Illinois fourteen and
scored two touchdowns against the
films six; Michigan was outscored
In first downs by both Lhe Michigan
Aggies and Wisconsin, but won by

their great attacks, neither Illinois

In brief, the gold nugget has

Of opportunists.
e It is >using the kicking game and
watching for the breaks at all
times. When it gets them it turns
loose a vicious attack, headed by
Steger and Rockwell and seldom
has it failed to produce. Much d
its success has been gained in
nasl1es outside the tackle position
held by Edwards, a sophomore,
whom they claim either will make
the all.American his first year out
or the world is wrong. Edwards is
said to be equally gifted on de-
Tense.
Babcock, on the opposite side of
the line, is good, steady man.
lacking, however, Edwards sheer
brflliance.
The center trio BOwn, Slaughter
and Steele, rank with the best
in the conference, according to
local, log rollers, but the ends,
Miller and Flora, failed to stand
mp against Grange and the Illini
interference, which may be moth
ing to their discredit at that.
Flora played in the backfield last
year but has changed places with
Marion, who was an end in 1923,
for purposes OF experience and
greater speed. Herrnstein, the re-
naming first string back, showed
to particular advantage against
Minnesota.
In other words, Michigan has q
punch, something that other con-
ference teams, barring Illinois,
seem to lack. Chicago has all
kinds of power until it gets down
to the goal line; Ohio State, fool
proof defensively, seldom gets even
that far and Iowa, judged upon it's
performance against Illinois, is an
offensive weak sister.
Minnesota and Wisconsin do not
figure, Northwestern has a one
man attack, built around Baker and
Purdue is too light to get any
where in particular.
Throw out the Illinois disaster
and the writer would be willing to
eoncede Michigan's omnipotence.
But it would be equally logical to
say that il you throw out the
Dempsey fight, Willard would still
be champion.
