JONES C0UNSELS
 BOY CHAMPIONS
Former Yale Coach DWels on
 Good Sportsmanship ~

you are not CndmplOnS because you have won a few baseball games, but because you have played the game fairly, because you have given your opponents a fair and square deal. Whether it be in baseball, football Or this little game of life, If you do this, you will ap travel far"
 This was the parting advice giveE ~ by T. A. D. (Tad) Jones, former Yale University player and football coach and now one of the biggest figures in intercollegiate football in the country, to the members of the Paradise Park baseball team at the luncheon in the Burritt hotel this noon. The youthful ball players were the guests of the club at the lunch con and were interested listeners to the talk delivered by MT. Jones.
 Not confining himself to any branch of sport but to all branches in his talk on "Sportsmanship," MT. Jones compared the ethics of the game In college as it was played 20 or 25 years ago with the game of the present day. He cited interesting in cidents of college play. both in base ball and football and these narra- tives left his hearers enthralled.
 He spoke of college pitcher while 8 student who conceived a brilliant idea SO that he could have an advantage on his opposing bats men. Citing the rule that states that Sot on the rubber, he said that the pitch CT conceived the idea that he could gain yard on the batters by putting only his left foot on the rubber and executing his delivery by stepping forward. He said the twirler got away with this movement consist ently.
 Baseball Ethics Advance
 Today this wouldn't be condoned even by that pitchers own team mates. In those days, 1t wasn't con- sidered Mnethical but rather smart. Today. it would be considered an unfair advantage"
 He said also that this pitcher. with one umpire standing behind him as he went to pitch, worked up motion while pitching with man on first that caught batter off first four out of five times. He. would stand sideways, throw his arms out and then with the umpire unable to see him, would raise his left e1- bow as part of his delivery. Then at the suspicious moment, he would mt pi.ch the ball and the. runner would either be caught off first or be trapped between first and second.
 The motion was a plain balk but 1t was done so clever1y that the um- pire couldn't catch him. Such a thing wouldn't be tolerated today in college circles, so different has the attitude towards these things be- come"
 Probably the most interesting anecdote he revealed was about a time when he was coaching football at a college in New York state. He said that his team was 8 pretty good one. They were scheduled on Satur- day to meet the Carlisle Indians who were not as good as they had been the year before but still were a pretty good team. He said that his eleven had an excellent chance to win
 That season, a giant Indian whose name was Waneta, a tackle and one of the great football players turned out at> Carlisle, had returned as a line coach. In the backfeld on the team was Hauser, one of the great est backs turned out by the school.
 Pre-GaIne StrategX-.
 On the Monday preceding the day of the game. a report was issued saying that Hauser might not be able to play the Saturday following, because of broken nose. On Wed nesday the same report was passed about. On Saturday the report reached Jones that Hauser might play.
 Determined to find out, if pos sible, the true situation, Jones de- cided to get in touch. with the situa- tion. He therefore telephoned the coach of the Indian team to ask him about Hauser. "Oh," the coach replied, T hardly think Hauser will play because he is all bandaged across the face. If he does play, however, I think I will use him for a short time in the line, possibly at tackle"
 The game started and luckily Jones team scored a touchdown in the first few minutes. After a time during a pause Tn the game, big strapping Indian, with big plaster across his face and his headgear down over his eyes, came out onto the field and was sent into tackle The announcer stated that Hauser was playing tackle for the Indians.
 During the contest, this player was marvellous. He stopped plays op his side of the line, gave wonder ful interference and in every way starred. Jones' team won the con- test and after it was over. as he. was walking towards the club house. the two officials, both very good friends, Wasn't that tackle for the Indians peach?" Jones stated that he was wonder and said Gan you imagine Hauser a back, playing such a great game in the line"
 Find Coach oi Team
 Both officials started to laugh and when Jones asked what was the matter, one replied "Hauser, That wasn't Hauser. it was Waneta.' That was line coach playing in a college game at tackle.
