IS IN
SIGHT FOR
COACHES
Hall Dozen Head Mentors
Scheduled to Lose Jobs
After This Season
By DAVIS ]. WALSH,
International News Service sports


Editor.
NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Accord-
ing to the best advices, as many
as a half dozen coaches Of lead
ing college teams may find them
selves beheaded at the end Of the
present football season.
Foremost among the alleged
candidates for the guillotine are
Bob Folwell, Of the Naval Acad-
envy, because his is the most ex-
acting post in football, and Bob
Fisher, Of Harvard, largely be-
cause his team happened to have
bad day against Princeton. Lose
a few big games nowadays and
volunteer pail bearers begin car
rying you right out.
The writer recently concluded a
flying trip through the middle West,
and there he learned from sources,
authoritative and several, that two
of the Big Ten coaches were due
to go. The names of Spaulding, Of
Minnesota, and Jack Ryan, of Wis
cinsin, were mentioned. Neither has
had successful season, although
Ryan can point to Indifferent ma
terial as the answer. Spaulding,
however, is alleged to have had
fair enough prospects at the. start
of the season.
AS for FOIwell, it Is known that
the Nays dissatisfaction ante
dates the present campaign. He
has had good teams during his
regime of five years at Annapolis,
and has more than held his own
with the Army, but football men
have short memories. 1t has been
said with some justice, that Fol
wells teams have lacked the
punch, and there one has the tip
off on the Navy. They have won
for the most part, but'they are
not satisfied.
When man graduates from a
university, he pltinges into business
and remembers his football only
when the big game comes on. A
naval officer has only two real in.
terests, namely, the Navy itself and
his football team. A civilian coach
sits In a tough spot there.
The writer is not conversant with
Fishers situation at Harvard and
is merely retailing current gossip in
mentioning the possibility of a
change there. Fishers contract
might have another year or so to
run but It 10 fact, not fancy, that
he is the kind of man who would

lion would serve the best interests

he no longer was speed merchant

hits last year he would have easily
beaten out 10 years ago.
Cobb is proud OIL his great record,
as well he should be. He frankly al
mits that he never wants his play to
slip so much that the crowd starts
to boo him. He recalls that Lajole

the final stages Of their big league

Cobb says the thought of perma.

Billy Evans Says

There seem to be no limit to the
disputes that can arise on the ball
field.
No sport produces anywhere near
the number of unusual situations
that happen in the national pas
time.
Not season passes IN the major
leagues but what one or more FREAK
happenings arse 10 test the sound
judgment Of some rule that has
been in the book for years.
No matter where the game is play
ed, situations come up that test the
mettle Of the umpire and the temper
e the crowd.
Recently | received the following
comm nicatioh with Harry Dock
cry, Balboa, Panama Canal Zone.
A pcrusa Of his letter will immedia-
tcly convince you that his position
in the game in question was tar from
All cnviabic ono.
Strangely enough, the play that
caused The argument in the Canal
Zone game once came up IN world
series. 1t was in 1911, when the
Athletics played the Giants. Bill
KLEIN was the umpire.
During the recent visit of the
Pacific fleet 10 the Canal Zone in
April series of three games were
arranged to decide the champion
ship of the United States navy
writes Dockery.

TO represent the visitors, while Coco
Solo, which is submarine base
here, was chosen to defend the divi-
sion. l have been an umpire in the
local baseball league for 10 years
and WAS selected to work the series
"The Battle Fleet won the first
game, 3 to 2, Coco Solo taking the
second, to 8. We arrived at the
third game without any difficulty
other than the usual kicks that hap
pen in any ball game.
L he gobS on both sides had bet
everything down to their shoe-Iaces,
and nerves had about reached the
breaking point when the third game
started.
AT the end Of the ninth inning
the score stood a tie at l to /, and
tension ran high.
I'm the last Of the eleventh, with

came through with single to

"The runner from second prefer
red to try to score standing up. The
ball arrived at the plate at almost
the same time as the runner, but q

The catcher swung around to
touch the runner, who pulled away
just enough to miss the touch. In
so doing, the runner missed home
plate.
i made no decision on the play,

NO. VIII the catcher turned to me

the play correctly?"
I
You certainly did. 1t was tick
lish situation, requiring much cour
age. The missing of the plate with
the winning run going over is a
tough spot for the umpire.
Just how long he should tarry
around the plate is question. The
umpire must not make the play, and
by waiting around too long place
| himself in the position Of tipping off
the mistake.
Larry Doyle once won a world
series game by great slide for the
Giants from the Athletics, and UNI
