COL GATES NEW COACH

NEW YORK. Feb. 2O.The an
nounced signing az George Hauser
as head football coach at Colgate
University uncovered the infOrma-
ton today that he not only wesl
one OF the stars OF the Western
conference during his college day
but student Of high rank as well
During his senior year at Min
nesota, he was captain and star
tackle of the team, and was award

Hauser has been lire coach at

many hits off balls that were not
over the plate as he did off those
in the groove.
Wagner was versatile batter.
He was likely to surprise a pitcher
any time by swinging at a ball
that was intended for q pitch-out
or a waste ball, as it is sometimes
called. lie generally hit when he
had made up his mind to hit
or not. In other words. Wagner
was never an imitator. He made
close study Of all the other
batters just as did and then used
that knowledge in developing his
own style.
For years young tatters, coming
into the two leagues, tried TO !mi-
tate the short choppy swing Of
Willie Keeler. They forgot, how
ever. that Keller was very small,
fraIl man and had adapted that
style to his own physical char
acteristics. Keller used a little bat
that would have suited boy of
~ or Is. With this he was able
to make those short, Iightning-like
chops.
Willie used his feet 10 great
advantage. By shifting 30 any pO-
sitiOn, according to the pitch, he
could hit into any field. The
feeders were never certain as to
the direction he would hit. and
that uncertainty ON their part
added materially 10 his great bat
ting record.
II a young batter watched Keeler
and then watched Sam Crawford /
don't see how he could be satisfied
to initiate either of them. Their
form was standing example Of
conflict in style. Why not take adj
vanage OF the good points of both?
/ notice in late years. q lot of
youngsters trying to initiate Babe
Ruth. That Is almost impossible.
Ruth has the rare faculty Of taking
a tremendous swing and at the
same time being rhythmical. His
natural coordination Of muscle, eye
and timing is remarkable. Just
notice his feet and legs. though,
and you will see where he gets
the tremendous force he puts into
swing.
My correspondent asks me to
select one great batter for him to
initiate. My answer to that is:
Study them all but initiate none.
