Track Task Faces
KeLLeu at Eastern

One of those decidedly difficult
tasks confronts Coach Mike
Kelley at Eastern High this year
in regards to track.
It seems tedious tasks are a
part of Kel1ey's work out Lincoln
Park way these days. The de-
velopment Of a track team is no
exception.
Kelley must start the season
without the services Of two
capable performers who gradu-
ated last June. They are Grover
Everett, hurdler and broad
Jumper, and Fred Hutchinson,
pole vaulter and field events man.
These men accounted for approx
mately two-thirds of Eastern's
points last year.
Around Bob Slye, hurdler and
broad jumper, will be built this
years team. Coach Kelley plans
calling out candidates soon after
the football season is ended. The
first meet Of the season will be
at the Catholic University indoor
meet.

AS much was confirmed by
Head Football Coach Dutch
Bergman today.
Oliver, who bruised his left
ankle against Duquesne at Pitts
burgh recently, has manifested
rapid improvement of late. Con
sequently it is thought that he
will be ready to turn loose
against the Loretto, Pa, eleven.
Bergman Enthused
Coach Bergman was all en-
thusiasm today when confronted
with the probability of divers
return. He said:
=. "JOhnny'S comeback will
strengthen our aerial attack so
per cent. Furthermore, he
knows how to direct his team
and is Shifty ball carrier when
the occasion demands.
His passing, of course, makes
him outstanding. And rest as
Sured you will see plenty of
tossing when the game gets un-
der way"
Having the cast removed from
his leg last week, Oliver has been
exercising his bad ankle daily.
And, following a series of baking
operations, that member appears
to be thoroughly healed.
Brubaker q Star
BY way of retaliation st. Fran
els will offer a dyed-in-the-wool
sensation at left halfback when
the kickoff is signalled. He is
"SteeSe" Brubaker, former West
ern Maryland ace and one Of the
prettiest broken field runners ever
to show in this section.
In st. Francis toggery the one
time Green Terror should single
handedly provide the Cardinal de-
fense with noteworthy opposition.
Colorful to an extreme, the big fel-
low has combined ntural drive
and readiness in 1881 conquests
to date.

with the face of the club turned
squarely toward the direction
line, the compression is equally
distributed, and the ball, re-
bounding from the club, flies
straight. But if the club face is
at some degree of angle, more
energy is gathered in that side
of the ball, and it tends to
spring away from the club
first. In case of a slice the
left or near side of the ball is
compressed more. AS the ball
leaves the club, it drags on the
one side and the air, pressing
against it, causes the ball to
begin turning to the right. AS
the air pressure increases this

Your club might go straight

FORMER N A TES
TOFACE

Two former Central High
School students may play against
each other Saturday when Cor
nell meets Dartmouth at Han
over, New Hampshire.
The youngsters are Philip Kline
and Robert Michelet. Kline is a
Cornell student at present, while
Michelet is at Dartmouth.
The two boys roomed together
at Mercersburg Academy after
they left Central several years
back, and now at the institutions
mentioned above, will meet each
other Saturday for the first time
in many moons.
Both Kline and Michelet are
Sophomores at their respective
schools. Michelet is guard, and
has run into stiff competition at
Dartmouth from John Py'les and
Arthur Hoffman, two senior mem
bers of the team, who last year
received All-American recognition.
PyIes Local Boy
Incidentally, Pyles is Wash
ington boy, being the son of DR..
and Mrs. j. Chester Pyles, OF
SO6 D St. S. E. Pyles is a close
friend of Kline and Michelet so
should the latter fail to get into
the game, it is almost a certainty
that Pyles and Kline will play
against each other Saturday.
Kline was best known for his
track work while at Central.
Michelet played on the football
team, and was an all-high selec-
ton in 1929. Both Kline and
Michelet were members OF the
lambda Sigma Fraternity.

Gridiron Game
Year Around
Subject
By EDDIE CASEY

BOSTON, Nov. 11.-Football is
a game that can be and is talked
about the year around. This
statement might be taken to ap.
ply to the arguments about
over-emphaSi5 or the changes in
its conduct but the game itself
is bound to be a subject of COZ
versation wherever men inter.
ested in college athletics may
gather.
Football peaches on basketball,
baseball, crew and track even in
their own seasons and produces
more arguments about certain
plays or games or players than
any other sport one can name.
The reason for all this may
seem hard to determine at first
sight because the grid season is
shorter than that of any other
sport on the calendar and it is
played by relatively few of the
college men in the intercollegiate
side of the game. While sew
eral reasons may be given for
the universal and perpetual ap-
peal of football one appeal is to
the man who has played it a
lot or who has coached the
game.
Like Chess
Football is so closely bal
anced between OffenSe and de-
fense that it is very much like
a game Of chess. Yet even
this comparison is faulty be-
cause one false move in chess
means the loss of the game
and the expert has the novice
at his mercy.
In football, one team may
make several mistakes and still
win the game, moreover, the ex-
perienced player is often beaten
by a greenhorn.
Football is evenly balanced be-
cause for the past IS years the
rules committee have been very
carefully seeking to bring about
just such balance and they now
feel that they have succeeded.
That is the reason that they re-
codified the rules last year. /
Just to point out a few in
stances of this balance in the
game, we can look at football
through the eyes of the coach or
the quarterback. Ten or is years
ago, the possession of the ball
was not considered a great asset
and teams were coached to play
defensive football keeping the
other fellow from gaining, fore
ing him to kick and then trying
to score.
Waited For Break
Teams were taught to look for
one big break that was sure to
come in every big game, when
that break came they would sum-
mon all their force and strategy
to crash through for the one
score that usually meant victory.

Yards Nothing to g. U.

That New York University,
with a gained yardage of 253,
scored 6 points against Georgia,
while Lehigh, with a gained
yardage of 1873 scored 19 points
against Princeton, yet George

That Harvard, with a gained

q gained yardage of 294 rolled
up 20 points against louisiana
State, and F'ordham, with a
gained yardage of 378, managed
80 points against Detroit, and
That dividing the points into
the yardage gained, one dis
covers these peculiar results:
Lehigh averaged seven yards
to gain one point; Fordham
and Cornell averaged less than
10 yards each to gain a point;
Vanderbilt, Columbia and Syra.
cuse averaged less than 13 yards
each to gain a point; Army
averaged less than IS yards to
gain a point; Georgia averaged
about II yards to gain a point;
Dartmouth averaged less than
10 yards to gain a point; yet. it
required an average of As yards
for Harvard to gain a point,
and an average of AZ yards for
New York University, to gain
q point. However, Georgetown
gained 264 yards and could not
score.

LAUDS PLAY

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE
NOtre Dame juggernaut, 1881
model is the most gosh awful
thing I've ever looked at"
Thus declared Lawson Robert
son, trainer of the University OF
Pennsylvania athletes. while stop
ping over here today en- route ia
Philadelphia from South Bend
where Penn was crushed on Sat
urday. 40 to 0, by Notre Dame.
"The first 40 or As Of these
NOtre Dame birds they let you
look at are little fellows, no
more than about 6 feet / inch
tall" continued Robertson.
"The other 218 are really grown
up and just one glance at that
gang of civilized cave-men is
enough to give any opposing
squad q violent case of filters.
They play the game with
more nOnchalance than any
bunch of athletes / have ever
seen. There doesn't seem to be
an uncontrolled nerve in the
entire squad. They're always
ready to fight, or frOlic, as the
case may be, always sure of
themselves and when they get
into motion, with frOwnS on
their maps, it is a great time
not to be opposed to them.
"But even in the tenSeSt mo-
ments of the game they are not
keyed up. There is no hysteria
in the makeup Of any Of them.
I'll tell you about one incident
that happened last Saturday as
proof that although they always .
are playing 100 per cent foot
ball they have elastic enough
minds to extend them to spots
beyond their own playing field

GOMEZ
SENSATIONS
Of FLEAGUE
BY GARRETT WATERS


Big Fred Marberry was the
leading Griff hurler during the
1881 baseball season, it is revealed
from the official records just re-
leased by the American League
service bureau.
Marberry won 16 games all told
while losing only four, defeating
PoSton four times, Chicago twice,
Detroit four times, Philadelphia
twice and st. Louis four times.
Big Fred had his troubles
against Cleveland and New York.
The Indians beat him twice, while
he was unable to exc out even one
victory against the Yanks. Boston
beat him once and Philadelphia
once, to complete his record.
Gen. Alvin Crowder was the
next best pitcher on the Washing
ton squad. The General, who ex-
perienced a terrible start, finished
up strongly to compile a record of
18 victories against II losses.
Crowder's best work was during
the last three weeks of the cam
paign when he won himself nine
games in a row and $500
bonus.
Fischer Best Lefty
Carl Fischer, Lloyd Brown and
Bobby Burke were the only other
Griff hurlers who finished the
season with more victories than
losses. Burke led his brother
southpaw mates in this respect
with eight wins against only three
losses.
Fischer had 13 victories against
nine losses while Brown eked out
Is victories against IA losses.
Of course Lefty Grove, the
elongated southpaw of the now
squelched Philadelphia AS, was
the best pitcher in the league.
Robert Moses, who was accused
of getting most of his victories
from the tail-end clubs in 1880,
made the accuSers look very sick
last season by winning from every
club in the league, and winning
almost at will.
Grove Showed EN-
Grove took six out of seven
from the Griffmen and three out
of four from the Yankees, to
show that he could take" the
clubs as well as the
tail.enders. He did not lose
game to this latter group, win
ming four from Boston, the same
from Cleveland and five
from Detroit for a total of 13
against these teams
alone.
Bob lost one in five to Chicago,
one out of three to the Yanks,
one out of four to the Browns
and one out of six to the Griff-
men to complete his record.
Lefty Gomez was one of the
sensations. of the league. Not
only did he lead all Of the
Yankee hurlers in the matter of
triumphs, but he was one of the
few hurlers who did not lose
a series during the year.
First of all, Gomez won 81
games while losing only nine. In
to his work for the Vari-
GUS series, he broke even with
Chicago, won two out of two
against Boston, four of six from
three of five from De
troit, three out of four from
Philadelphia, five out of six from
st. Louis and three of five from
the Griffmen.
Patsy Caraway was the hard
luck hurler of the league. Al
though he hurled excellently on
many occasions, he took it on the
nose "a times, being able to win
only 10 games for very unim-
pressive record.
The complete records of the
pitchers, published elsewhere in
this section, tell an interesting
story. The work of every man in
the league for the season of 1881
