Player s ''NA''
IS MASCOT
OF TEAM
Milwaukee Eleven Claims Only
Such Circumstance Of
Game

Milwaukee may well lay claim to
the most unique figure in football.
When the Lincoln High School
eleven of that city. is playing, the
sixty-year-old mother of the teams
quarterback sits on the players
bench encased in football blanket
and pears through her glasses with
keen excitement at the action on
the field.
The elderly woman Is Mrs. La
Gosh, who came to this country
from Italy nineteen years ago, and
two years before the birth Of the
Lincoln High quarterback. Her
right to a place on the bench is
in the fact that the sixty-year-old
Mrs. La Gosh is the mascot Of the
team.
Mrs. La Gosh knows very little
about the game, but she under
stands the signals. since they are
given in her native tongue. The
coach, as well as the captain of the
eleven, are both Irish, but most OF
the others on the team are OF
italian descent.
AS the commentor so aptly notes:
A strange game to her and q
strange mascot to the game.

Andy Smiths charges won every
game played through five seasons
until this campaign got under way.
Then came rude shock, the
Olympic club, made up OF former
college stars, whipping the Bears.
In the weeks between that de-
feat and the failure against Wash
inpton University some football
writers seemed inclined to pardon
California. The veteran character
Of the club eleven was taken into
consideration and, if California
had won last Saturday, it is likely
that nothing much would nave
been made of the defeat py the
Olympic club.
7.to-0 victory, the Bears had
finally lost their first college game
in six years, and now they must
begin all over again.
The first California Washington
Huskies game was played in 1904,
each team scoring six points. A
break followed and the teams did
not meet again till 1915. Two
contests were staged that year,
the Huskies winning the first, "
to o, and the second. Is to 2. Two
games were also played In 1916,
Washington winning, IL to and
13 to z. :,
California finally broke the
spell by defeating Washington,
% to O, in 1917. In 1919, fol.
lowing an open year because OF
the war, Washington came back
with q 7-to-O victory, the Huskles'
last till this season.
Andy Smiths eleven swamped
the Huskies, II to 8, in 1921 and
the following year came back with
another one-sided triumph, 40 to
II. In 1923 the Golden Bears won,
8 to 0, but last year the battle
was a 7-to7 tie.
Washington has easily won the
Pacific Coast title with victories
over both Stanford and California,
not to mention smaller opponents.
That's why the rumbling is heard
all over California.

Cobb is telling no secrets when
he says that Johnson, Peckin-
|paugh, Judge, Ruether and Covel-
eskie "are getting no younger"
Neither is Cobb, for that matter.
Well, who Is Do you known any
body who is getting any younger ?
In 1924 the Washington Griff-
men won a pennant by sheer
sticking to a fight among three
teams, Detroit, New York and
Washington. Their fighting spirit
enabled them to nose out the
Yankees in the final week Of the
campaign.
With veterans getting no
younger" and adding two more
oldtimers in Ruether and Covel-
eskie, the same team battled the
younger Mackmen from April to
Labor Day and had the satisfac-
ton of coasting through Septem-
Der into a second world series.
Ty is not original in his dis
covery that Washington's veterans
are getting no younger" and he
is quite correct in prophesying
that, "once the club begins to
break, it will go as quickly as the
Yankees did last season." All
winning clubs fall to pieces in a
hurry, once they begin.
Ty may be right about the COM
ing campaign, with the two-time
tltle-holders cracking and falling
far back. He certainly has a
right to his idea.
Cuckoo" An Example
IT is a well-known baseball fact
that certain players, once they
begin slowing up, do so with
great rapidity. Cuckoo" jamie
son, of the Cleveland Indians. is
example.
In 1924 Jameson was among
the leading batsmen in the major
leagues. He had been up around
the top for five years and Iris
Speaker certainly banked on the
little fellows having another
good year in 1926. But Jamieson
stopped dead and, long before the
season ended, had been benched.
He did not get back into the
lineup before the curtain fell Int
his record for the season does not
compare with that of those five
proceeding years. ~
Some great players, like Tv
Cobb himself, have slowed nI
gradually, but just as MANY have
stopped between seasons. mvstifv-
ing everybody, including them
selves.
1t works the same wav with
teams. 1t is the story of ali teams
save Connie Mack's 1914 ao0reoa-
ton. Connie deliberately Shattered
and scattered that team which had
slaughtered it's American League
rivals and then fell before The
Boston Braves in four straight
games.
The Griffmen may fall by the
wayside next year. Who knows I?
Not Ty Cobb, nor you, nor your
old man. But certainly Ty has a
right to his own ideas on the sub.
ject. Why become alarmed at
anything he says?
