Rockne graduated from the old
die for alma mater" era when
coaches were long-haired ex-
horterS who paid less attention
to blocking and tackling than to
the oratorical task of working
their players into a frenzy of
fighting spirit. Yet Rockne sell
dom resorted to heroics in han
ding his team. And there's a rea-
son. He learned early that such
methods soon lost their weight
and effectiveness.
LOngman Exhorts
During Rockne's first year as
regular he had occasion to
listen frequently to the oratory
Of Shorty Longman, the coach,
who was 100 per cent exhorter.
Before a game Longman would
enter the dressing room dramat-
ically, toss back his shock of
black hair and burst into
rhetoric.
Boys" he would decIaim,
"tOday is the day. The honor
of the old school is at stake.
Now or never we must fight
the battle of our lives. 1 don't
want any man with a streak
of yellow to move from this
room. You've all got to he
herOes-HEROES, or 1 never
want to see you again. Go out
and conquer. It's the crisis of
your lives"
"When 1 heard that for the
first time" ROckne said, 81
was tremendously impressed.
The team went out and all but
pushed the opposing team-Oli-
vet-Over the fence. The next
Saturday, as we lay resting in
the dressing room, Coach Long
man entered.
Boys" he detOnated, "tOday
is THE day of days. The honor
of the old school is at stake.
The eyes of the world are on
you. Go out and bleed for the
old school, and if anybody has
a yellow streak, let him
81 sat there awe-Stricken,"
ROckne said. "Then 1 saw Do

The PhilIy Outfielder didn't
sign a contract until last week,
and his impressive start with
out benefit of much spring
practice probably is causing
other batsmen to ponder long
and deeply today on the alleged
advantages of the spring train
ing camp grind.
The inaugural day feats of
Root, Grove and Ruth give rosy
tint to the pennant prospects of
their respective clubs. Roots in
jury late last season cost the Cubs
the National League penant.
BY holding Pittsburgh to four
hits yesterday, he served notice
that he is prepared to shoulder a
large part of the burden in Chi
cago'S drive for the flag this year.
Grove, who whitfield five Sen
atorS in three innings and saved
Connie Mack's Bacon, demon.
strated that he is the same iron
man who pitched the Athletics to
a pennant last year.
Ruth's base running yesterday
was as encouraging as his home
run, for in stealing a base the
37-year-old marvel showed he is
in shape for the 154-game grind.
Doleful dispatches from the train
ing camp belt had stated thai the
Babes pins were in poor shape.
The season will be success
for Tom Winsett, Red SOx
rookie Outfielder, if he fails to
get another hit all year.
Put into the Sox-Yankee game
as pinch hitter, Long Tom"
duplicated Gordon SHADES feat of
last year when he hit a home
run in his first time at bat in a
major league game.
Other rockies who did we'll
were Buzz Arlett of the Phils,
Johnny Vergez of the Giants,
Gerald Walker of Detroit and
Levey and Bettencourt of the
Browns. Each collected two hits.
Recruits who failed to set the
world on fire in their first start
included Nick Cullop of Cincin-
natl, Irving Burns of the Browns,
Charley Wilson of the Braves and
Luke Appling of the White Sox.

INJURIES STALK
MARYLAND NINE

With the important Harvard
engagement but two days away,
Coach Burton Shipley of the
Maryland University nine is al
ready confronted with a deficit
in his catching department.
Ralph Sterling and Lloyd Jones,
the only catchers on the squad,
suffered injuries to their hands
in the games with North Caro-
lima Friday. Coach Shipley may
be forced to shift Bob Wilson
from the outfield to the plate.
Wilson was a catcher in his high
schools days, but his throwing
has been impaired as the result
of a football injury.
Johnny COlrick, GeOrgetOwn's
baseball coach, has also learned
that he must uncover another
starting pitcher from among
Jack COppinger, Gene Philbin
and Herb Heaney. COlrick has
only two dependable Fingers
Harry NOzneSky and Hal Poole.

act tOday?" asked Bergman.
"NOt SO good" Dorais replied,
81 thought he was better last
week."
Knute Rockne was kid then
but he learned lesson, and it
was simply this. It doesn't pay
too much to depend on oratory.
Tackling, blocking and timing
are much more important in
building up a winner.
Yet there were times when
Rockne would resort to sentiment
and when he did he put it
over in fine style, because it was
unusual. There was, for instance,
the Army game of 1928 game
that saw Notre Dame badly out
classed in the first half, appar-
emily beaten.
Between halves Rockne went
into the dressing room. For a
few moments he stood silently,
watching the bruised and bat
tered crew of players. Then he
spoke, not loudly, not rhetorically.
Just as man to man.
"YOu fellows never saw George
Gipp," he told the players. But
he was the greatest football
player NOtre Dame ever had.
And on his death bed he looked
up at me and said, Rock, some
time, when the breaks are going
against the boys, and they're
getting beaten, just tell 'em of
the Clipper, will you? And ask
them to go out there and win
one just for me-
"This is the time to win one
for Clipper" ROckne said.
Then he turned on his heel and
walked out.
Notre Dame came back strong
and won-and as Chevigny slashed
through Army'S line for the win
ming touchdown he said:
That's one for the Clipper"

GERMAN IDLE
. FOR LONG
SPELL
By JACK DEMPSEY

Max Schmeling is a young man
who seems to have overlooked
the fact that plenty of action
Is the something needed tc
develop ones fistic abilities and
fit oneself for long life at
the top of the heap.
Since Schmeling mixed it with
Johnny Risko in February 1929
he has been involved in only
two noteworthy fights. If the
German had been a topnotch
ringman, gifted in all depart,
naentS Of attack and defense,
there could be some excuse for
his failure to fight oftener and
give more Of his time to learning
every trick of the trade.
Needs More Fights
AS I view it, a heavyweight is
not really at his physical peak
until he is % or 90. No matter
what he has accomplished up
to that time, there is still room
for further development. He
can gain that only by consider
able fighting or by long hours
through the months and years in
Q training camp.
Schmeling fought and de-
feated RiSkO when he had
just turned %. Four months
later he took on PaulinO-while
he was still %. A year elapsed
and SchIleling, then "a, faced
Jack Sharkey. No matter
what might have happened if
. foul hadn't ended the battle
when it did, the fact is beyond
dispute that Sharkey made
Schmeling look like q novice
while it Lasted.
Schmeling caught Sharkey with
his right a couple of times-but
Sharkey was unjarred. That
should have taught Max that his
right wasn't as murderouS as he
reckoned. He should have busted
himself Immediately in learning
how to put more snap and power
In that punch.
LEU EXCeSS DdSSdSC
Against Sharkey the Germans
left hand was little more than eX-
cess baggage. Sharkey found it
easy to penetrate the Germans
defense, while Schmeling had
trouble breaking through Shar-
keys. That was another lesson
for the boy from Germany, a tip
off to him to learn more and
more-and more than that
about the science of the game.
7 haven't heard of his doing so.
In the clinches Sharkey was
Schmeling's master, because he
knew what to do-and did 1t.
Many fights are won and lost IN
the clinches. Schmeling should
know that, knowing also his weak
ness, he should have spent much
Of the year since then in LEARN
ING.
Another IL months will have
passed in idleness before
Schmeling meets Stribling-
Stribling, a powerful, seasoned
fighter, who can MT anu HaNe
it, and who knows every trick
in the fistic book as well as
some of his own creation:
Stribling will be fit and ready.
But what about Schmeling?
# he had trained and tried to
learn he, too, could be spoken OF
as somebody who was ready. But
if Max hasn't tried any harder
to learn than is credited to him
in newspaper reports, it seems
right now that his chance Tor
victory over Stribling will be cen
tered mainly in lucky punch
such as he slammed into Risko.
And stribling is vastly differ
ant than Risko, as Schmeling
soon will learn.
