Skepticism

Atlanta, Georgia, Dec. 7.-lR-It

In fact it just seems to be gather.

selections crop out in one sector
after another.
There is the case Of SILVER and
Nash, the Georgia ends, for in
stance. Through the Bulldogs un-
beaten march, nine victories in q
row, these two wing men stood out
head and shoulders above any rivals
in the south, attracting national at
tention as we'll. Close to par in
general ability, SILVER found big
favor in some all-American calcula-
tons and Nash in others.
Then along came the thud of
Georgia's downfall in the mud bat
tie with Georgia Tech, where neith-
er SILVER nor Nash showed to parti-
cularly good advantage. The ten
dency at once among the assembled
experts was to turn skeptical and
regard the pair as somewhat over
rated, in spite Of the fact that
through 80 per cent of the season
they had played superlatively.
As q matter of fact, measuring
up to standard 90 per cent Of the
time is about the best that any all
American candidate can expect to
do, to judge from the records Of
previous selections. Herb Joesting

Billy Evans Says
New Baseball Angle

East to watch the Princeton ale
game, had a most interesting chat
with famous track coach, one who
has won several intercollegiate
championships, in which he gave
me a new angle to very important
play in baseball.
The track coach's suggestion had
to do with players scoring from
third on fly balls that are caught
by the outficld. With ball game
all even, the scoring of such a run
is often the determining factor in
the final result.
This play u sually makes much
trouble for the umpires, since the
question is invariably raised as to
whether or not the runner held his
base until the ball was caught.
AS a rule, the runner on third
beats the play trifle in his effort
to score. This puts it up to the
umpire's judgment and the line of
demarcation is often very fine.
II is customary in baseball
for the runner himself to gauge
the play and pick the proper
spot fer leaving the bag.
Make Start Like Splinter
The thought of the track coach on
this play is revolutionary. He is
Of the opinion that the coach at
third should do all the thinking on
the play, that the runner should be
guided entirely by his judgment.
The theory of the track coach is
to inject the fundamentals of the
sprint race into the play. Instead
Of having the runner start from a
distorted position, that naturally
must handicap his getaway by being
compelled to watch the flight of the
ball, let him take a position as do
the entrants in a 1O0-yard dash.
The runner would assume the
crouch position of the sprinter
awaiting the crack Of the gun. He
would play no attention whatever
to the course Of the ball.
The starting of the runner would
be entirely upeto the coach. His
shout to go would be to the run
ner as the firing of the gun to the
Splinter.
My informant insists base.
ball managers are overlooking
. strategic play of vital import
aMte in failing to use the
sprinter's start with a runner
on third.
Cw~~AeA:n,> WnptL Trsol
According to the track coach, the
|sthird base bag forms an ideal push
off for the runner. With one foot
against the bag, having assumed
the crouch Of the Splinter, he would
be in perfect position to make the
most Of his speed.
Plays at the plate are often de-
cided by inches, a small fraction
Of a second. Making the runner
follow a ball and deciding when to
break for home wastes more than
the fraction by which a runner is
often retired in q close play at the
plate.
The coach in question who Of.
fered the suggestion has turned Out
several famous sprinters. There il
no question as to the correctness OF
his theory. It would be interesting
to see some manager try it out.
i am informed It wouldn't
take more than Z week to FL
miliarixe every member Of
baseball squad with the crouch
system Of starting used by all
sprinters.

Herb Pennock, by the way, holds

While his debut as a series pitcher

didn't come into his own until 1923

the condition of Herb Pennock's left
