Frosh Us. Sophs.

We attended last nights gath
ering hoping to hear the real
story of that FreShman-Sopho-
more football game between the
class teams of Georgetown Uni
versity that took place at Grit
fifth Stadium after the regular
season was over, but nobody
had the temerity to tell it and
thereby the audience was de-
prived of one of the gems of the
football season.
At the moment there was no
little feeling about the matter,
around the Hilltop, but time has
softened the string and since the
yarn was not sprung by the
Downtown Coaches, there is no
lese majeste involved in spring
ing it here.
AS you no doubt know, there
is no little rivalry on the campus
over this annual inter-class fix
ture, and the year of 1880 was
no exception. 1t is called the
Battle of the Caps, the Fresh
men being permitted to cease
wearing their poStage-Stamp
skull caps in case they are able
to defeat the SophomoreS.

Formidable Washington basket
ball league teams, Stewart Broth
ers Photographers and Northerns,
are to come together in a game
that promises much tonight.
At Silver Spring High School
auditorium, $50 o'clock, Buck
Grier's Northwest Red Birds will
endeavor to check Dave Keppers
smartly coached basketers.
Each team has divided two
starts. Consequently, in an effort
to keep in championship step
both clubs will be giving their
utmost.
big Three"
Until Capt. Pepco Barry did a
fadeout ON four personals last
week Northerns played bang-up
ball against Census Enumerators.
Late in the first half they were
leading, 11-8, and were well in the
running until the last period.
Tony Stewart, Tom Peck and
Barry, among others, are crack
performers calculated to cause
the Photographers considerable
bother tonight.
Stewart toSsers, easily among
Washington's clevereSt, likely will
enter tonight's fracas a slight
faVorite. The NorthernS are
carrying a large army of fol
lowers, however, and likely will
bear watching all the way.
Ability to connect from the
charity mark enable Skinker
Eagles to score over AnacoStia
last night. The score was Abb.
Skinker Brothers, handicapped
by the illness of Joe Sweeney and
Dick Streeks, were furnished a
lively battle by the Anacostians
and, but for continual fouling, the
Little Eagles might have made an
even better showing.
The teams scored evenly from
the field, with each sinking II
shots. The champions, however,
tailed II free toSSes while the
Eagles marked off seven.
Allen Stars
Duke Allen, Skinker center,
again was outstanding as q scorer.
The Duke pocketed four throws
from the floor and made good an
equal number of times on foul
tries to register a 12-point total.
The Eagles, who showed real
flashes of brilliance in the sec
Ond half, featured sterling per
fOrmance in Morris Clark and
Webb. Clark sent three long
distance shots spinning through
the hoop while Webb scored q
like number and added a foul.
The Eagles crept within five
points of their opponent late In
the fourth semester and were
dangerous all the way.

Switched Systems

AS the story goes, the Sopho-
moreS were none too sure of
their ability to defeat the
young Freshmen who had been
coming along so splendidly in
the Tom Mills school of foot
ball. Many of the Sophs were
products of two systems-Mills'
and Lou Little's, with more
grounding in the latter than
the former.
But the Freshmen were pure
Millsmen, and the SophS, who
had had training in both sys-
TENS. were none too sure they
could either stop or hold the
yearlings whose play was un-
confused.
That they were correct in
their apprehension was estab-
lished by the closeneSS Of the
score. which was 13 to IL in
favor Of the SophomoreS, who
decided before the game to
abandon the Mills method and
revert, for that one game, to
the Steam-rolling, hard, pound
ing, driving game inculcated
in their minds during the re-
gime of Little. AS both Tommy
and Lou were present last eve
ming the story would have
topped-off the evening and
everybody could have laughed
together over the incident.
But Tommy Mills will even
tually have the last laugh.
He'll have those Sophomores
in camp next fall, say nothing
of this spring, and the laps
he'll give them around that
track will probably be laps
they won't soon forget. He'll
be justified too, in taking his

The vote was 5 to to accept

The fact that the American

SCOUT AYERS
HURLERS FAIL
To TRAIN
"TheSe minor league pitchers
of today don't train properly"

The gentleman who breathed
those words was Bill Rapp, a
native of this city who scours the
baseball woods for prospective
material for the Cleveland In
dians. He has taken these hunt
ing expeditions for many years
and has gazed upon thousands OF
minor leaguerS.
''MOst Of the minor league
pitchers never take any eXer-
else between pitching turns"
says Rapp. "He pitches on
Wednesday and then sits
around until his next turn.
Therefore, his arms and legs
become stiffened.
KEPT IN CONDITION
"Why, in the old days, the
minor league pitchers would
toss 'em to the batterS in prac-
tice the day after they worked,
shag fly balls, or take a light
warm-up. They would continue
these workouts until called
upon to go in the box again.
"Is it any wonder that the
minor leagues have produced
but few pitchers ripe for the
major leagues within the past
few years?
Rapp, however, partly abSolveS
them from blame because u
present transportation facilities
and the long jumps necessary be-
tween distant towns. He cites the
Southeastern League for example.
"Take Selma, Ala, and
Tampa, Fla, in the South
eastern League" continues.
Rapp, "TheSe towns are about
600 miles apart and the teams
must travel by bus because 1t
is cheaper than the railroads.
They're on the road all night
and most of the day, arriving
in time for the game. The
teams have a series of three or
four games in each town, but
no player feels like getting
into uniform after long
hours on the bus, many not get.
ting a wink of Sleep"
NIGHT BASEBALL DOOMED
Rapp believes that night baseball
is doomed because electricity will
never light up a baseball park
as the clear rays Of bright sun.
Also, that the players will lose
too much sleep.
"Why Joe Hauser, who
cracked out 63 hOmers in the
International League last sea-
son, cIOuted one over the fence
falling away from the ball."
concludes Rapp. HE didn't see
the ball coming up to him and
swung blindly."
