MIDDLEBURY HAS,
 PROMISING TEAM

Middlebury, Vermont, Sep IT - Following a stiff scrimmage work out yesterday at the Middlebury College football camp Coach Ben Beck indicated the most satisfac- tion over the continued improve ment of the team that he has shown this season. The squad for every position with an average weight of between 165 and ITO pounds.
 Steve Hoyle, Star halfback and high scorer of last years team, re- turned to-day. Roberts, regular left end, Anderson 1S0 pound fullback, as well as several promising soph- ,omores, have also arrived and fur nish significant reinforcement to the squad. No injuries have yet re- suited from heavy scrimmages.
 Duke" Nelson, graduate of Mid- dlebury last June, and new Fresh man coach has been added tempo rarily to the varsity coaching staff.

|. ont Knowing whether he swouldi make the grade. As a matter ol fact. he lasted but 10 games with them, being shipped off to Hart ford in the Eastern League. But m 1925 he made good, and has con- tinued to fill the bill. ..
 The produest day in Gehrig's lNe was not when he crashed Tour home runs in one game this season but when he presented that new home in New Rochelle to his mo- ther and father and drove them up there from New York In new car, anothersgift to them.
 Lou admits that he was lucky to become 0 major league star. lie probably would have been a truck driver, perhaps the head of truck ing concern by now, if his mother hadn't worked herself into poor health to save money for his schooling. When he got as far as Columbia University, he found that he could play baseball. /.
 Here's one: the most deeply inn printed athletic event in Gehrig's g mind is five minutes of a football game, between Columbia and Col gate in 1921, in which he played.
 "When the whistle blew I started a battle with Welch, the All-Amer- ica tackle" Lou tells. ''When they carried me away five minutes later had two black eyes and I thought I had a broken nose and a mess of busted ribs. On the way out, they Carried me past my father. He tok one look at me and said, Why, you damned fool!" -
 Gehrig is the iron man of mod ern baseball. He hasn't missed Q Yankee game, regularly scheduled. since 1925. A little more than year ago he played his one thou sondth consecutive game. A. few weeks ago he passed Joe sewelrs feat of 1102 consecutive games. And if his durability holds out, a year from this time will find him holder of the major league consec- utive game record. well beyond Deacon scotts mark of 1907 straight games.

worked we'll in double plays and hit above 300. But his arm got sore. Last year he was a. pitiful figure toward the end of the sea- sonfi He could neither field nor throw and his line drives went straight up as pop flies. Duying the winter, Manager Joe- McCar- thy would have swapped him for almost any kind of a pitcher. No- body wanted him. .
 He was still trading material when the present campaign opened. But after the rockies Jack Saltzgaver, failed Tony was put into the lineup as a last re- sort. He started off at a sensa- tional pace. His base hits trav- eled on a line and his fielding became fast and sure. He has regained his old form, and the Tanks are well fixed.
 Lazzeri cost the Yankees $46,- 900 cash, five ball players, $500 in long distance telephone tolls and some heavy expense accounts him at Salt Lake City in 1925. He hit 60 home runs that year and drove in 222 runs in making his 1855 batting average.
 The story goes that Business Manager Ed Barrow in New York, called the Salt Lake club officials every morning for 10 straight days, trying to close the deal. On the tenth morning, after Lazzeri had slumped a little in hitting, the Mormons gave in and Push Elm Up Tony" became a Tank.
 Lazzeri is an unusual figure on the ball field. He seldom opens his mouth, even to encourage a team mate or to express disgust at decision, and almost never does he smile. He constantly wears the air of man burdened with sorrow, a fellow to be pitied, a person in deep thought. But Tony's smile is wide - when 1t does break.
