Eight Team State Tourney
Talked by Prep Conferences

been the winners or close contenders
the past few years will be taking
part in a state championship tour
nament of conferences and not in
the annual I. H. S. A. A. meet.
Recently, organizers laid the
groundwork for the formation of
the fourth big conference of the
state, to include several strong
teams in the south central part of
the state.
1t is said there is no desire on the
part of the members of these con-
ferences to break away from the
I. H. S. A. A. as far as eligibility
rules, track meets, gymnastic tour
namentS and such are concerned.
But it seems that the big schools of
the state resent the rule limiting the
season to eighteen games and also
the three-week grind of the annual
state tournament.
With four conferences, the or
ganizers plan that each year the
winner and runner-up of each of
these conferences come to Indian
apolis and settle the state confer
ence championship. Naturally, they
will claim the state title. 1t is said
several other conferences are in the
making. Other conferences would
be taken into the conference cham
pionship final meet, we are told,
and the entire affair ended in one
week, eliminating the three-week
grind of the present system.
That would give teams having big
financial obligations connected with
new gyms a chance to play more
games at home.
There are many problems ahead
for the organizers. One is to find q
place in Indianapolis to play. The
I. H. S. A. A. is reported to have
the fieIdhouse leased with an
option of ten years. Also it is said
that not all members of the present
four conferences favor dropping out
of the I. H. S. A. A. tournament.

Two Tits
Top Card
Yale Tackles Georgia and
Carnegie Tech Plays
: Georgia Tech.
BY HENRY MLEMORE
United Press stan Correspondent

NEW YORK. Oct. 1o.-with
baseball tucked away in lilacs and
lavender until another spring,
eastern football takes on q decid-
eddy business-like air this weekend,
with two first class intersectional
games on the books.
In addition to the croSS-country
tiffs, several worthy scraps are
scheduled between intra- sectional
rivals. notably Lafayette and Col
gate at Hamilton, N. Y, and New
York university and Villanova here
in the Yankee Stadium.
But it is the intersectional games,
involving two of the south's ma
jor elevens and two of the casts
finest, that are holding the foot
ball spotlight along the Atlantic
seaboard this week.
The first, and probably the best,
of these is the Georgia Yale game
at New Haven. The second, and a
rip-snorter in itself, is the Georgia
Tech-C Carnegie Tech battle of en-
cheering Drawn at Pittsburgh.
AT this writing, Yale and Carnegie
are slight favorites-Yale because Of
a wealth of brilliant back field talent
headed by the one and only Able
Booth, and Carnegie because OF
balanced strength in both Of
Tense and defense.

habit of winning ball games even
when they were not making a lou
of hits. They carried the habit
through the series and won four OF
the six games while hitting about
200. The answer is that they make
scoring so tough for the other fell
lows that they don't need a lot OF
runs to win.
Take those three games they
plaved in st. Louis. In three days,
they scored only three times, yet
they won one game and were in a
hard fight for another down to the
final putout.
I couldn't see when the battle
started how any team figured to
win a series of games from a club
which had Lefty Grove and George
Earnshaw to do most of the pitch
ing. Grove pitched the entire first
and fourth games. EarnShaw went
the full distance in the second and
sixth, and both of them worked in
the fifth. Only in the third game
did Connie Mack fail to call on one
or both of his aces.
Naturally, I did not expect to see
such marvellous pitching as Earn
shaw delivered with twenty-five
runless innings in succession and
only two runs in twenty-five in

World Series Result Shows
Difficulty Of Defeating AS

nings. But / did believe he would
be too much for the Cardinals.
Grove, too, figured to be too much
for the Cardinals and he certainly
lived up to the advance dope Of
those who picked the AS to win.
A team with either a Grove or an
Earnshaw would figure to have a
great advantage. A team with both
could hardly lose in series.
Concentrated Punch
The st. Louis pitchers gave the
AS lot more trouble than be-
lieved they would, but they failed
where their work was most impor-
tant. They could not tame the
punch of the AS batting attack.
In the order of appearance at the
plate it reads Cochrane, Simmons
and Foxx, but in the power of at
tack Simmons belongs in front. Al
battled all year for the batting Lead
ership in our league and figured
he would not be stopped by the
Cardinals pjtching. He came
through with the highest total Of
any of the players who took part in
every game.
Just look at what this slugging
trio collected. Their nineteen hits
included five home runs, a triple,
five doubles and eight singles.
There's the power Of attack, and
when you pair such hitting with
extra high-grade pitching there is
only one answer.
Cards Lack Distance
The three players hitting in the
same important positions in the st.
Louis batting order got only twelve
hits and the longest Of these went
for two bases.
In other words, the AS had all
the pitching strength they needed
and their hitting, where it counted
most, was powerful. The defense
yielded only twelve runs in six
games, thus permitting the AS to
win, despite poor hitting as a team.
But that is an old story in our
league.
