Spring Foot Ball Practice.

M ANY coaches still hold to the idea
wv that Spring foot ball practice is
a largely unimportant.
This depends largely on the coaches
and their chance of getting any ma
terial to work with.
Pop Warner and Knute Rockne have
proved their Spring foot ball practice
is one of the leading features in the
development of their Fall teams.
1t is almost impossible for any coach
to get by with the limited time given
him after college opens. This is often
but little more than an hour for each
afternoon. And at certain universities,
such as Cornell, most of this working
time Is after dark.
No coach can teach a man to kick
or pass or handle passes In a few
weeks. Spring practice is big help
along this line, a necessary feature.
The Spring is the best time to
work on fundamentals and so have
the material ready for various f0rma-
ti0ns later on.
Team play In modern foot ball is far
more complicated than it used to be.
And 1t calls for more expert material,
with all the phases of the passing-for-
ward and lateral-game to be called on,
Those who figure that Spring prac-
tice is somewhat OVERRIDING or over
emphasizing the game might remem-
Der that Spring foot ball practice is one
sport that calls for no road trips, nc

series of the plsy-offs, meeting the
winner of the eliminations between
the second and third place teams.
New York's Rangers and Americans,
which finished second in the American
and international divisions, staged their
hottest encounter of the year in the
opener of their two-game series, and
ended just where they started. Neither
team could score or come near 1t.
The series between the second-place
teams. like that between Detroit and
Toronto, which finished third, is of two
games with total goals to count. The
prospect now is for protracted contest
tomorrow. A deadlock then after so
minutes of play calls for sudden

goal Is made.
The youthful Toronto Maple Leafs
fulfilled the predictions of their sup
porters by gathering two-goal lead in
the first game of their series with De-
troit The final score was to /. This
result leaves the Cougars almost out
of the race. Playing the next game on
| Toronto's home ice, Detroit must score
three more goals than the hard-shoot-
ing Leafs can gather to pull out the
victory.

n VIEW YORK, March 20.-The
American and international
groups of the National Hockey
l. Y League are all square after the
first nights play in the pre-
liminary series of the play-offs for
the Stanley Cup and the world cham
pionsrip. The three hard fought games
last night brought one victory for each
division and a scoreless tie between
the New York teams, who are fighting
it out for second place honors.
At Boston the bludgeon of the Bruins
won out over the rapier of the Les
Canadiens in the first contest of a
five-game series between the first place
teams. Boston turned in. victory by
a single goal, scored by little Cooney
Weiland, second-strihg center. Lionel
Hickman, burly Bruin captain, fur
nished the assist.
Later in the game, the Canadiens
scored. only to have the referee rule
that one of their players was offside
when Patterson Gagged the rebound from
a shot by Moreno.
The teams meet again in Boston
tomorrow night, then move to Mon
treal to complete their series. The
winner goes directly into the final

1 \ hopeless. The best that can be
hoped for is to keep the Situa-
ton in check-to degree at least.
There are so many ways now to make
publicity pay, indirectly If not directly,
that it is almost impossible to spot the
dividing line.
There are so many subterfuges that
can't be unearthed and proved that it
is an impossible job to take amateurism
back to other years where publicity was
slighter and the rewards were SO much
less.
For example. there are reports and
rumors around that certain g0lfing
centers are returning all expenses of
ceftain stars, after said stars have
apparently paid their way. There
I are other stars in both golf and
tennis who have been given certain
positions where their skill in these
games makes them at least fairly
valuable additions to q firms per-
sonnet. But no one can prove this,
and If one could, IL would be no diff
ferent than the way other stars profit
indirectly through their fame.
One weakness in attempting to en-
force any ironclad law is that in many
cases star amateur can hardly help
from prohting commercially from his
skill, even though he makes no attempt
in this direction. The name of win
ner now goes all over the country and,
as advertising still pays. the name of a
winner is bound to mean something
along financial lines. The best that can
be done is to keep as much check as
possible upon any direct violation. 1t
isn't that outright professionalism is
wrong in any way, but that amateur
taking Is.

ON THE SIDE LINES
With the Sports Editor
=3y DENMAN THOMPSON

IT. HE departure, whence
they came-Minneapo-
lis-of catcher Ed Ken
ma and Third BaSeman
Elmer Voter, would make it
appear that Commissioner
Lands recent punitive action
already is having its effect.
Kenna, purchased outright
from the Millers last year for
the announced price of $4,000,
goes back to them for a figure
not made public, but undoubt-
edly less, and the Washington
Club stands the loss. Voter,
obtained with a $4,000 tag at
tached, goes without having
rendered any service to the
club, but has cost it the $4,000
down payment in addition to
expenses from and to his Penn
Sylvania home as well his
meals and room at the Tampa
training camp.
Before Lands tossed his
bomb last week ways and
means of avoiding the payment
of such an item as $4,000
merely for the privilege of in
specting player might have
been found, but that was then,
not now.
In view of the situation
brought about by the ruling in
the case of Guy Cantrell, Mel
Simons, ct AL, it should &C
caSion little surprise now if
Spencer Harris also is Shunted
back to Minneapolis. If this
is done the club will be out Of

pocket just $4,000, plus his ex-
penSeS for training, whereas, If
kept, an additional $4,000
would have to be forked over.
Small Outfield Likely.
With four such capable per-
formers as Goslin, Rice, West
and Barnes available for fly
chasing chores the club may de-
eide a second substitute for the
outfield in which no more than
three may play at one time is
unjustified at a cost of $4,000,
to which must be added $4,000
or so in the way of salary. It
all depends upon whether
Manager Walter Johnson will
consider himself sufficiently
we'll fortified against accident
in the garden with only one
reserve man.
The net result of the pruning
already effected, voluntary or
otherwise, is that Johnson will
4 have precious little to do to re-
duce the Washington squad to
the minimum of IS players
which goes into effect June Is.
With Boss out of commission
due to illness and Voter al
ready disposed of there is moth
ing to be done about the in
field which now finds Judge,
Hayes, Bluege and Myer listed
as regulars, with Cronin, Stew
art and Gooch as reServes-the
smallest number the club can
get along with.
Down to Limit i'm Pitchers.
AS to pitchers, there now are
in camp only the number Gus
tomary to carry-10. They are
Braxton, Jones, Hadley and
Marberry. generally regarded
as the quartet to be regularly
rotated, and LiSka, Brown,
Burke, Campbell, Weaver and
Hopkins, from whom additional
game-Starters and relief men
must be found.
Paul Mccullough, the only
other finger on the roster, has
been prevented by illness from
reporting, and it is doubtful if
he will figure seriously in Man
ager JohnSon's calculations for
this season, at least.
This leaves the catcherS-
Ruel, Tate, Bool and Bolton. OF
these, the latter, because of his
extreme youth. unuuestionably
will be farmed out to obtain
badly needed experience pro-
vided, of course, that nothing
develops to interfere with the
retention of the other three,
such as, for instance, the re-
ported and denied. prospective
trade of Tate to the Yankees
for Outfielder Sam Byrd.
Spencer Alters Situation.
The acquisition of Roy Spen-
Ger, one of the players declared
a free agent by Judge Lands in
his famous ruling of last Satur-
day, complexities the catching
situation for the Nationals.
Spencer has had considerable
experience with the Pittsburgh
Pirates over a stretch of two or
three seasons, and, judged by
the esteem he was held in by
Barney DreyfusS, very likely
will earn a rating as next to
Muddy Ruel on the Washington
backstopping list.
1t may be that landing Spen-
Ger will facilitate the reported
and denied-trade of Tate to
the Yankees for Outfielder Sam
Byrd. If Pat Charity. oSten-
sibly carried as a coach, DEM
onstrates his fitness for an oc-
casional bit of backStopping, as
we'll as pinch-hitting. he prob
ably will be the third of the
