Ten HoOuer Pilots Fairly Sure of Jobs MandeH Developing Temperament
D. C. PRO BASKETERS
MUST BE VERSATILE

With the placing Of Rusty Saunders
in the center position on the Wash
ington basket ball club last night.
Capt. Ray Kennedy revealed his plan
to have each member of his team
adept at positions other than his reg
ular assignment.
Saunders teams up with Glasco at
forward. but his height also makes
him a capable tip-off man. In the full
game scrimmage at the Terminal Y.
NJ. G. A. last night he played the
center position more capably than any
of the men who have been given
trial at it yet.
Il want each of the men to know
all POSITIONS" said Kennedy. 80 that
if any last minute shifts have to be
made, man will be on hand to step
right in. Saunders right now looks
better at center than Chazmadia or
Segal. We may have to use him there
when we open against Philadelphia"
In case Saunde,s holds down the
pivot assignment, Henry kiley Of Ar
lingtOn. Mass. may go in at forward.
kiley is yet green to the big league
game, but his work during the train
ing sessions has shown such consist
ent Improvement that Kennedy seems
inclined to favor him for regular
assignment.
Announcement has been made that
all the Monday games of the first
half are going to be ladies night"
games. Tickets good for box seats
are to be distributed before each game.
Dancing is to be held between the
halves and for two hours after each
game. with a Meyer Davis Orchestra
providing the music.

LANDlS WOULD END
CAMPAIGNS SOONER

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 17.-Com-
missioner Lands has made public the
proposed changes in base ball law
which will be voted upon at the joint
session of the major leagues here
December 16.
The most important is the election
Of commissioner and the proposal
to curtail the championship season.
Commissioner Lands said an effort
would be made to reach an agreement
on ending the seasons on the last Sun
day in September, thus allowing the
worlds series to start or. the follow
ing Wednesday.
The club owners of the American
League, together with Commissioner
Lands. long have favored this pro-
posal, but it was met with some op-
position from the National League,
Lands said.
AS far as can be ascertained, Com
missioner Landis will be reelected
for another term, the length of which
remains to be determined. No sue
cessor has been suggested and the
National League is a unit in favor
ing his retention.
Charles A. Comiskey, owner of the
Chicago White Sox, also is a Lands
supporter. Comiskey's vote, together
with the unanimous votes of the
National League, can swing the cleo
ton.

COLLEGE AT 0xF0RD
CALLED PROSEl'YTER

OXFORD, November II (lp.--The
familiar charge so often hea&1 in the
United States that colleges 4roselyte
among preparatory schools fos promis-
ing "athletic material has found its
echo in staid old Oxford.
Various newspapers have Haken up
the assertion that Brasenost College
at oxford had been relaxing it's en-
trance requirements in tn" scase of
star crew men and Rugby rlsyers.
Brasenose has long beeIt 4egarded
jealously by the other colleges. For a
number of years it's crews aid teams
have topped the list in the intercollege
sports, and on the varsity tkams the
majority of the "blues" have hailed
from Brasenose.
The original charge was Snade by
the "Cherwell," paper run # under
graduates, which limited thatSthe ere
sponsions' or entrance exartinations
had often been modified for rIomising
athletes, and implying that 3he new
university statutes which N&nt into
effect this Fall, and made sue, manip-
ulation impossible would dim sthe ath-
letic glory of Brasenose considerably
in the future.
These charges. which were aiken up
and broadcast in the Londyn news
papers, aroused considerabi bic &indigna-
ton in the college, not ONLY among
students, but with the faculty as we'll.
In a statement given out in the course
of the controversy, G. H. SamSson, the
principal of Brasenose, de4ied the
charges emphatically and d"ceared the
only cases in which except1Ons had
been made in the entrance require
ments were in behalf of studeslts from
the colonies, for whom speci4 conces-
sions were made by all the colleges in
the University.

The oldtime fan who followed
foot ball when mass plays were
the rule has probably not forgot
ten the defense of those days. The
present day fan often wonders,
as he reads of the tandem bucks
of the '90s, how they were stopped
for small gains of one and two
yards. Probably the illustrations
above will clear his mind on that
point. and revive some happy
memories of goal-line stands made
by the oldtimer's alma mater in
the good old days.
The upper illustration shows a
team playing the modern defense.
Six forwards ready to smash for
ward, the center and fullback
playing a few yards back Of their
tackles, alert to drive forward or
to give ground and cover the play
er each is assigned to in case a
forward pass is thrown. And the
two halfbacks, about 10 yards back
of their ends-Wing backs, they
call them-alert for passes or end
runs or to rush forward to stop
a plunge should the other backs
be outWitted or cut down.
The lower illustration shows the
oldtime defense that stopped the
guards and tackles-back plays.
Seven men on the line close to-
gether. Two halfbacks with their
hands on the hips of their tackles,
ready to shove them forward to
break up plays, and the fullback
a few yards back of center ready
for anything Mass attacks wer
met by mass. defenses that were
most effective.

| Cleveland and Ray Schalk has tust

apparently will remain with Brooklyn
until the club is sold or acquires
a new president. The Boston Red
/ Sox have not appointed a new man
ager to succeed Lee Fohl and are
holding back until the owners In
Columbus. Ohio, talk 1t over. The

to suit him. Maybe he would like to
take on the Red Sox.
Ehmke Roots for AS.
when all of the other clubs have
finished changing managers, Wen step
in and win the pennant in 1927"
This little prediction comes from
Howard Ehmke, pitcher for the Phila-
delphia Athletics, who had a queer
sort of year as a ball tosser in 1926.
Ehmke opines that 1t will be diff
ferent Athletic team that will start
the next base ball race. He thinks
lack of good batting killed off the
Athletics chances last season.
Connie Mack discovered too late
E,hmke. when he found it out he
did his best to remedy things, but
there was no club in the league except
ours that was clever enough to throw
much in the way Of the New York
crowd.
THE Athletic outfield fell off in
batting and Cochrane got bad start,
although he was going more g. his
speed toward the latter part OF the
year. I don't believe there will be
any weakness in outfield batting next
season, and if Connie makes the
change at first base that he would like
to make, we will be the fighting team
In 1927"
Highly Priced as Pitcher.
Before the 1926 season began there
were four managers who would have
taken Ehmke away from the Boston
Red Sox and paid $500 to $50.00O in
cash to get him. Boston would not
let him go at any price because Lee
Fohl thought he had the star pitcher
of the year.
Ehmke could do nothing for Boston
except lose. 1t was not all his fault.
His support slipped out from under
him time and again.
Boston traded Ehmke to the Ath-
letics for pitchers who were not able
to get anywhere. Ehmke got on his
feet in Philadelphia and toward the
end of the season was pitching again
with the skill which he possessed
when he was at Detroit. Ty Cobb let
him go because he could not keep
peace with him. Perhaps that was
the worst fau.- tsa+ ny had He
couldn't keep away from his pitchers,
and he should never have gone near
them except to tell which of them
was to pitch the day of the game.
Cobb's judgment as to what to
throw to the man at bat was not as
good as his judgment on what to do
on the playing field and on the bases.

ZBYSZKO TOO FAST

Wladek Zbyszko may not be quite
as strong at the wrestling game as
was his elder brother Stanislaus some
years ago, but he is far too clever and
fast for most of the other, if not all
of the foreign talent now showing on
American mats. The husky Polander
demonstrated this last night when he
took the measure of Charles Lep-
panen, Finnish champion, in straight
falls in the feature of the Arcadia en-
tertainment.
Never in danger himself, Zbyszko
carried the battle to his chunky op.
ponent all the way and scored each
fall in less than minutes. A flying
mare turned the trick in the first
setto and in the second head chanc-
cry did the work.
Alexander Garkawienko, giant Uk-
rainian, showing here for the second
time in two weeks, overcame Nick
Brakos, a stout Lithuanian, after %
minutes of struggling. But before
Garkawienko's head chancery upset
Brakos, the latter caused his foe
plenty of trouble.
In the time-limited first bout be-
tween Hans Steinke. a powerful Prus-
sian, and Ivan Linow. who can grunt
more than any Russian ever seen

NEW YORK. November 17.-Sammy
Mandell, lightweight champion of
the world, has developed a lot of
temperament since the crown was
placed upon his head. First of all, he
refuses to be billed as hailing from
the city in Illinois which he calls his
home, because he says he Is like any
other prophet-not appreciated by the
home folks.
Next he says he will bust anybody,
or words to this effect, who applies
to him his old nickname, the Rock
ford Shiek. No doubt this Is because
he now is married, and when any one
calls perfectly good husband a sheik
said husband has lots of explaining to
do to his better half.
New Workers are beginning to think
that the champion has developed "a
crouch against the metropolis, too. He
was offered $4,000 to appear in a 12-
round bout against Billy Petrolle in
this district, but nothing was heard
from him in reply. Now the offer has
been increased to $4,000 smackers.
Maybe that was what Sammy and his
manager were waiting for; such things
have happened.
about New York, considering the
juicy purses he has drawn down here.
Earned All He Got.
No one ever has said, though, that
he did not earn the money he got.
His rousing scraps with Sid Terris.
the Weird-acting east slider, still are
talked about. The fights were close,
very close, but just the same Sammy
dragged down a draw in one 10
rounder and decision over Is frames.
The only thing Mandell ever did
that displeased the fans hereabout was
to foul Jimmy Goodrich when he had
things going all his way for five
rounds This was in the lightweight
tourney staged by the New York Box
ing Commission to find a successor
to Benny Leonard. Not a few ques-
toned his intent in fouling Jimmy.
Anyway he did not wait to explain,
but rushed out to the West Coast for
an engagement with Phil Salvatore,
which netted him 10 grand.
Mandell last appeared in the East
in August, 1925, when he defeated
Solly Seeman in a 10-rounder. He is
a good workman and could pick up a
lot Of coin in the metropolitan district.
Good News for Chicago.
The New York Boxing Commission
is not going to let Elky Clark, the
British fyweight champion, fight for
the title under it's jurisdiction until
he shows his worth against lesser
light.
This will be good news for Chica go,
one or another of whose promoters
probably will grab off the sparrow as
an opponent for the American title
holder, Fidel La Barba. If Clark is no
better than some of the outstanding
little fellows from England who have
been here in the recent past, such as
