B,t KIRK NILLER~

Now that the golf fathers
have approved ball which will
be larger and therefore easier
for the buffers to hit, how
about increasing the size of the
cup in proportion?
How hard should a lacrosse
player pursue his game? That
is a question which Coach Jack
Faber, of Maryland, had to an
swer for himself in laying
Snitz Snyder off the Terrapin
twelve.
Snyder, a football player of
the type gridiron coaches ask
for each night in their prayers,
is mysteriously absent from cur
rent appearances of Maryland's
lacrosse team, and the serious
ness with which he took his
play is said to be responsible.
According to rumors around
College Park, Snyder put him.
self in the bad graces of his
teammates when he injured
Madigan, a football and bas-
ketball star making his debut at
lacrosse this season. Madigan,
it is reported, is said to have
had his lip split, requiring four
stitches to heal the wound, and
several teeth knocked out.
1t is no secret that Snyder de-
lights in treating an opponent
rough. In several games he was
repeatedly penalized by the ref
cree for too much roughness.
Snyder's rough tactics were
undoubtedly the result of his
football instincts. Last season
on the gridiron he established
an enviable reputation and his
ability then to force himself
through a line came in good
stead.
But on a lacrosse field it is
different and many believe that
even his teammates are afraid
to play opposite him in practice
for fear of getting Snyder's
fighting spirit aroused.
Despite the alleged roughness,
Snyder was a big asset to the
Terrapin twelve. He figured
prominently in most of the
heavy scrimmages, and scored
goals with comparative ease
over his teammates.

George Stallings was the
living example of the ancient
baseball wheeze which admon-
ishes all and sundry to not take
anything for granted in base
ball. He never took his teams
doom for granted just because
they were down in the race.
His feat of turning a team
which was in the cellar when
July opened to a league cham
pionship and a world title in
1914 has been referred to more
often in the last ID years han
any outstanding event of the
game during that lapse of time.
Since that memorable occasion
no team has ever been in such
depth of despond but what the
owner or manager or baseball
writer's said, Remember the
Braves of 1914w
Stallings had his own ideas
as to how a club should be
managed. These were some
of his theories:
II never play two games the
same.
"a winning pitcher needs
regular work.
Don't rush a young player.
Give him the time to master the
big league methods.
Confidence comes first. I
tell my players they're the best
team in the league.
II can't say that l favor the
-hit-and-run over the sacrifice.
Mix 'em up, that's my policy.
Stealing bases alone will not
always win-that's why l don't
pay so much attention to the
steal for my club.
"We're trying to win every
game, never thinking about the
pennant."
In 1915 Stallings said Walter
rabbit" Maranville was the
greatest player to enter base
ball since Ty Cobb arrived.
Maranville didn't happen to
fulfill Stallings' estimate of him
as the years rolled by, because
Cobb went on and on to outdo
the fondest expectations of his
veriest admirers; but Maran-
vile meanwhile didn't turn out
to be a slouch and is still in
harness.

Reputedly, and, in fact, stronger

University of Maryland and Catho-

This husky right-hander is equipped

He has been particularly effective
against all opponents this year and
the Old Line Cubs will do we'll to
beat him.
The Maryland yearIings also

Of the games played. He also is
q right-hander and a great deal

Seven of the Old Line Cubs were

high school teams last year. This
means that Campbell will have moth

bell also has several pretty capable
stickers on his own team which
should carry on in a manner that
may be the least bit distressing to
HauVer, too.
Both teams are about on a par.
Each has defeated the same teams
