T HEY are going to throw Tom
Heeney, honest as q looking
glass, game as . Spanish bull,
in against Max Baer, the Cali
fornia cyclone. It is true that Ernie
Schaf slowed the cyclone down to a
zephyr, but Ernie, too, has youth. Tom
is a veteran.
The bout is scheduled for Madison
Square Garden tomorrow night, and
some believe that 1t will not 60 the full
10 rounds. They figure that Heeney
has about as much chance as a peace
delegate at Dublin riot.
This may or may not be so. The one
thing which is sure is that Heeney will
be in there giving his best, as he al
days has. He can't hit much, and he
is no great boxer, but no man has a
stouter heart. Referees have stopped
bouts in which he was concerned, but
the finish always found Tom Keeling
forward, his head bloody, but unbowed.
Baer Is most promising youngster,
with q cruel wallop and several glaring
faults. II he is willing to learn, to
work and improve himself, he may some
day be a champion. If he Is not, he
will Just be another of those men, well
equipped below the neck, who flash

CLENN WRIGHT has signed his con-
" tract, which entitled Brooklyn fans

With Fresco Thompson at second and
Wright at short, the Robins should be
strong where every winning team needs
strength.
Take the great teams Of the game

vile and Evers, Fletcher and Doyle,
Scott and Shean, Bancroft and Frisch,
Thevenow and Hornsby, Koenig and
Lazzeri, all fine combinations around
the middle sack.
well remember the joy Of Wilbert
Robinson at the training camp last
year when he first saw Wright cut loose
with a throw across the diamond. He
predicted at that instant that Brooklyn
would be in the race all the way, and
he appears to have known his stun.
The Robins should ny high again this
season.

Take It from Frank Carideo, Notre

yet I often wonder how many games
we would have won and lost If Old Man
Psychology hadn't worked for us on an

of that master psychologist, Knute
Rockne. 1t pulled us out-on top-of

ability failed.

Probably we were just too good for

before the game, during the game and
even when we had the victory sailed
away.
Never in my foot ball career was ]
more confident than of beating the
Trojans last Fall. And all the boys
were of the same opinion. But when
telss filtered into South Bend of South
ern California'S confidence of a one
sided victory, we decided that to win
we must get in the right psychological
touch at the right psychological second.
So we, or should say Coach Rockne,
gave them the 'build-up' while we
worked to rip that mental construction
down in hurry.

II he is quoted correctly, puts authori-
ties Of the University of Indiana under
an indictment in which there may be
more truth than poetry.
Page says, according TO press report,
that he has been under the impression
that decency, character and ability TO
get the most out Of available material
are the factors by which coach Is
judged, but that he guesses that coach
has got to win games TO hold his job.
The inference is, Of course, that Indiana
places greater emphasis on the winning
of games than 1t does on the higher
values in foot ball. That is nothing
unusual, though, because what Page
