GRANGE TO SEE GAME
IN CIVILIAN CLOTHES
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, December 12.-HaroId
Grange. auburn-thatched foot bal
star, will not play with the Chicago
Bears when they meet the Detroit
professional team here today and,
what is more. he will not even show
himself to the crowd in his uniform
with the famous "77" on it.
Instead, the former Illinois star will
sit on the sddehnes in civilian clothes
and watch his teammates, with his
arm tied up in splints.
Grange arrived last night with the
Chicago team from Pittsburgh and
Immediately went to a bachelor hotel,
where he asked the house physician
to examine his arm. After the exam
ination the physician announced that
a blood clot had formed and that
unless the injured member was given
good care there was danger of its
travelling through the system If the
blood clot should travel near the
heart, he said. 1t was impossible to
say what complications might de-
velop.
During the examination Grange
sat on q bed in one Of the hotel rooms,
answering the Doctors questions in
a listless manner and constantly rub
bling the injured arm. He said he
had first felt the injury in St. Louis,
but thought 1t only a brnse. It both
cred him considerably at Boston, he
said. and at Pittsburgh he wanted to
stay out of the game, but went In
not to disappoint the crowd.
The foot ball star looked worn and
haggard and when the doctor told
him the arm must be put in splints
he replied:
IAN right, put it in sphnts, do any.
thing SO / can get some sleep. I
haven't had a bit OF sleep for two
nights because of the pain in my
arm"
The physician found the upper part
Of Oranges injured arm swollen twice
the aze Of his other arm. The arm
was broken out with red spots along
its entire length and at the back of
his shoulder was lump described as
twice the size Of an ordinary hens
egg.

BASKET BALL SECRETS
BY Sol MetzgeI

AS basketball requires maximum
speed in action, every second counts
Thus. many games are lost because
the unguarded player in possession of
the ball hesitates momentarily in
shooting or in making a pass to an
unguarded teammate closer to the
basket than he is and, therefore. in a
better position to shoot. a faulty
method of holding the ball is generally
the cause.
The player having the ball should
always hold 1t away from his body
and In both hands in order to be able
to toss it instantly in any direction.
II he holds 1t close to him, as in the
illustration on the right, he will lose
fraction Of time in passing it.
Here's a very important point for all
players to watch during practice.
Skill yourself in being able to pass
the ball as quickly as possible.

Percy u. HauGhton, former Crimson
mentor. signed a contract two years
ago for SIS 900 annually. Rockne was
considered at that time for the place,
but was not available.
South Bend Man at Columbia.
If the Columbia announcement is
accurate. Rockne will succeed a for
mer teammate when he comes East
next Spring. The retiring head coach
at Columbia, Charles r. Crowley, and
Rockne played END positions on the
Notre Dame elevens of 1911 and 1912.
The ong-standing friendship be
tween the two was expected to hold
strong possibility of Crowley's reten-
ton as one of Rockne's aids, although
announcement was made by the CO.
lumbia athletic committee that the
South Bend foot ball wizard would be
permitted to select his own staff of
| assistants.
In his eight years of coaching at
Notre Dame Rockne teams won 65
games and lost but 6. His longest
string Of victories % in number, ex-
| tended through the last two contests
of 1918. through 1919. 1920 and the
first two games in 1921. Later his
teams piled up a 16game winning
streak.
Rockne achieved his greatest fame
last year when his -four horsemen'
swept through the Middle West and
East to the national championship.

Father Walsh said to the Associ-

said to pay no attention to them.
that he had signed no contract and
had no intention of doing SO. He said
he would not be at Columbia next
year, but would be at Notre Dame"
Announcement of completion Of ne
gotiations between Rockne and Co

East and Middle West that even CO.

to discredit the report. Rockne's 10

The action severing athletic rela-

of the resignation of the college at a
time other than a regular meeting.
The break with "Ole Miss" resulted
from the playing of Charles Briggs

ian in the Cotton States League in

that'is scoring.
25 feet of third base to score. With
Kelly on second an umpire's Job
was nothing that any one would care
to have. There was only one umpire
at that time and Kelly used this to
his own purpose. If the ball was hit
to the infleld. the umpire naturally
had to watch the play at first and
to give a decision there he had to
turn his back on Kelly, who was
leading off second. AS soon as the
umpire's back was turned. Kelly cut
through the infield just outside the
pitchers box and headed for the
third base line. He would reach the
line about 20 feet from home plate
and then run along the base line to
the plate. There was not a chance
to double Kelly at the plate under
those conditions. And there was not
a chance to win an argument from
the umpire. because by the time he
looked toward the plate. after the
play at first was completed. Kelly
was going home on a straight line
The double umpire system in use
today would make IT impossible for
Kelly to get away with anything like
that, but he could do it every time
the opportunity presented itself in a
game in which only one umpire
worked.
Kelly Observed Pitcher.
Kellys observations of pitchers and
his fadeaway slide made him the
king base runner Of his day. Nc
one had seen this particular slide be-
fore Kelly introduced 1t. The infleld
ers had tough time trying to tag
Kelly and most of them found 1t i'm
possible. Kelly used to mako bets
that he could give an infielder the
ball, stand 10 feet from the bag and
at given signal slide in without
being touched by the waiting fielder
Kelly always won his bets.
You cannot say that this trick OF
kelly's proved him a better base
runner than Cobb, a contention that
has often been made. ! have pointed
out that Kelly was the first man who
ever used the fadeaway slide. The
fielders of Kelly's day naturally could
not combat 1t successfully. When
Cobb made his base-running records
the infielders were accustomed to the
fadeaway slide and the more Cobb
developed the more used to 1t they
became because every other player
was using the slide or trying to use
it. King Kelly playing at the time
Cobb was in his prime would not
aave been such an outstanding figure

When Harry Stovey. Bill Lange.
King Kelly, John McGraw. Willie
Keeler. Fred Clarke and some Of the
other old timers ran up their high
totals in base stealing an entirely diff
ferent system of scoring was In use.
At that time a stolen base was scored
every time a runner advanced a base
or scored on a fly. Had this system
been in vogue in the last 20 years
Cobb would have doubled his base
stealing marks in nearly every
season.
Since Cobb declined as a base run
ner this base ball art has gone back.
That was not the fault OF Cobb, but
the result Of the lively ball. Just as
Cobb began going back the lively ball
was introduced. The result was that
base running and bunting were neg
lected. These two features have not
kept pace with pitching. hitting and
fielding in base ball development.
With the lively ball in play the per
centage rests with the batter and not
with the base runner. The chance of
the batter smashing a. ball past the
infleld Is far greater than his chance
OF bunting safely or stealing.
Not Crafty as Cobb.
AS far as base running Is concerned,
the new crop of base runners-men
like Frisch, Youngs. Heathcote, Cuyl-
or, Bigbee Carey. Grantham, Jack
Smith and Stanley Harris-do not
give the study to base running that
was given 10 years ago when Cobb
was at his peak. They are not 50
effective as the leading base runners OF
Cobb's day because they do not pay
close enough attention to the indi-
vidual style of delivery used by the
pitchers and also because they have
not perfected the fadeaway slide.
which is an allfmporant feature in
base stealing.
King Kelly was the man who in
troduced the fadeaway slide. Kelly
was intelligent and versatile, too. for
he was a catcher and an outfielder
and good at both jobs. but 1t was as
a base runner that Kelly excelled.
Although a big man. he was fast and
a great student Of pitchers. No one
ever detected a tell-tale move on the
part Of the pitcher more quickly than
Kelly and none ever took better ad-
vantage of 1t.
This Kelly was a cute ball play
er. He was the first man in base
ball who scored from second on an
infleld out. He never went within
