excellent examples. one in each
class, occur to me as I wrfte-Ty
Cobb and Babe Ruth.
Ty has always relied on consistent
hitting, well-placed, and not vecy
long. To that end, he has developed
a swing that is much more of q
punch-Aa short sharp blow, in
which there is none of the golfers
supple wrist action and none Of
Smiths driving swing. It is short
the flowing grace of Macdonald
and to the point, and II he length
ems his swing in the way he would
hit golf ball, his control and
placement must suffer.
Babe Ruth is the other type
which Ty discussed. although he
mentioned no names. There is a
great deal of golf in Ruth's batting
swing. A free pivot and a long
whipping stroke, and when he COM
meets something happens.
Now, as gathered from Ty,
it would do man like Ruth
little harm to play golf, for the
two swings for him are not so
radically different as for Ty.
And the Babe. I understand, can

The reason for it is obvious. for

the ball downward. the objective
being on a plane with his feet in
stead OF his waist. he must develop
his intuitive muscular reactions to-
ward bringing his club upward after
he reaches the bottom of the arc.
The batter, on the other hand.
wants always to hit the ball on the

high. unless he hits very far. the

Now Ty says that to employ long

way to put him off his stride.

The funny part about the entire

these little fellows any more than
the latter can get along without the
majors.
A situation of that kind would

leagues have been cooperating like

don't want much, they say-only the

When a man climbs into the ring,
with gloves tied on his hands, he is
altogether on his own without an
other soul in the world who can hope
20 do him the slightest good. He
does his own thinking. he does his
own fighting, and, when an emer-
gency arises, as one nearly always
does in the ring, he must meet 1t
with whatever strategy and courage
and initiative he may be able to
muster.
Compare this man necessities
and requirements with those that are
laid down for the average football
team. To the latter, the cardinal
virture of co-operat ton and team.
work in general is stressed. @,a
Sometimes the quarterback Is
faced with the necessity OF making
an important decision; sometimes, as
was the case with Captain Lowry,
of Northwestern, in deciding to ac-
cept an Intentional safety against
Michigan several years ago the indi-
vidual player will be seized with an
inspiration to do something that
never was written in the book.
But, for the most part, at least as
] have seen it, these decisions are
guided by what the coaches have
been harnmering into the players all
season; they are decisions of ortho-
doxy from first to last.
Indeed, am led to believe that
the average player would fear a
cOach's wrath too greatly to at.
tempt putting into play many
theories of his own.
Far better, to my way of think
Ing. is the system in the ring by
which the man always is the master
of his fate, not the puppet to he
moved about at another's will. A
manager or a chief second in your
corner is there merely in an ad-
visory capacity. He often is a
very helpful asset. for he sees
things that you may miss in the
heat of battle and, if he has his
head about him. he can remember
things that you may have forgotten.
Personally, / feel that Billy Glib
son and Jimmy Bronson have been
of infinite value to me in my bouts.
But when you get right down to
cases, l have to do the actual fight
ing. which means making the de-
cisions that count most, as all de-
cisions made under fire must count.
Advice is g. great thing but you
can't block haylnaker with it.

BOXER DOES

Speaking rather. extemporaneously
some few nights ago ais the guest
Of Gov. "A. Harry Moore. of New
Jersey, and Mayor Frank Hague. of
Jersey city. at the annual dinner
of the mems club OF the Lafayette
Reformed Church in Jersey City,
arose with the intention of urging
more. preminence for college boxing
and found myself comparing it to
college football. to the latter's dis
advantage. / simply began plug
ging my own game in comparison
with another without quite realizing
that was doing it.
The message really had in mind
wasn't adequately expressed there,
so / will attempt to present it in
this article.
1t is this: The average college
president. or professor. seems to be
forever clamoring against football
on the ground that it is a coach's
game and, therefore, submerges in.
ltiative and individualism.

II this really is regarded as q

sport that stresses individuality
to the highest degree?

Just what the nature Of the
plan may be at this time nobody
