ALL TYPES AMONG
TULSA GRID BACKS
G. w. viii Oppose Not Only
Tricky but a Versatile
Attack Friday.

- APITAL foot ball fans have
1 seen and heard a lot of
~ tricky foot ball with which
the name of Tulsa Uni
versity has become synonymous
during the last few years, but ac-
cording to reports waited ahead
of the Golden Hurricanes visit to
Griffith Stadium Friday night
they will see an attack as versatile
as it is tricky.
Tulsa,s dazzling wide-open tactics
featuring forward passes and end runs
from queer formations are only a part
of Coach Gloomy Gus" Henderson's
scheme for achieving gridiron victories,
says the latest information received here
Until 1882 the Golden Hurricane was
a team of fast runners and clever
passers, but with the acquisition of sew
eral highly talented sophomores this
Fall, versatility became the keynote.
Since opening its 1888 season with a
smashing 20-7 triumph over strong
Oklahoma University. Tulsa has shown
power, speed, kicking and a sensational
aerial attack. These qualities COM
bined make T. US offense extremely
well-rounded and dangerous at all times.
Added to this Is the teams known
penchant for attempting the plays its
opponent least anticipates under GER
tain conditions.

REENE, Dennis and Berry are ex-
N cellent kickers, although the lat
ter two are not in the class of
Greene, who is rated a standout in
Southwest gridiron circles. Greene has
averaged more than IS yards from
the line of scrimmage on more than
SO kicks this season
These same three also possess strong
and accurate arms for forward pass
ing. thus supplying the Hurricane with
about as many triple-threat backs as
any one team can boast It happens
(bad news to George Washington that
all three usually pasorm in the same
lineup, Dennis plays at fullback, with
Barry at left half
With this galaxy of stars to select
from, Coach Henderson can use even
more deception than beforehand ever
since he went to Tulsa from Southern
California seven years ago the Hurri-
cane has been hard to stop, chiefly be-
cause of its thickness.
Having available three good kickers
and employing the punt formation as
a means of confusing the defense, Hen
derson has injected the quick kick into
Tulsa's offense. This means plenty of
trouble for those G. w. safety men
who in the last three games have been
caught fiat-footed on kicks that sailed
over their heads If the Colonials are
to keep away from their own goal line
they must be prepared to handle kicks
from close formation as well as Tulsais
long passes to feet receivers and
sweeping end runs with winged-foot
backs Juggling the leather.

Has All Sorts of Backs.

"ULSA has every available type of
backf1eld player to make its at
tack click" this year. Considered
most important In view of the emphasis
1t places on speed, are Roy "Skeeter'
Berry, Joe Kahl and Pete La Toilette,
q trio of jack-rabbit backs, any one of
whom might go for touchdown once
he gets into an open field. Berry had
heavy hand In the 29-14 trouncing
Tulsa gave G. w. last year and Is up
to his old tricks of eluding tacklers
this season, despite shoulder injury
that interferes slightly with the use Of
his left arm. Kahl and La Toilette are
sophomores, both possessing rare speed,
but not quite enough to match that of
Berry. known in Tulsa's home State as
the Shawnee Flash"
+ Then there are no less than seven
Tulsa backs ready and fit for heavy
line battering with Everett Day, vet
eran OF three years. and Tack Dennis,
a sophomore. showing the way. In
addition the Golden Hurricane can, and
does, call on big Biz Volok, giant
guard, who ripped through the Colonial
line for three successive first downs
during the 1882 game at Tulsa.
Day and Dennis, according to weights
announced by Tulsa's publicity Office,
each packs 100 pounds Of bone and
muscle. The other available ram-rod
ball-toters are Harold Wickershayn,
Howard Clark, Velmon Lentz, Woody
Estell and Frank Greene, the latter
being smart quarterback playing his
third year as regular.

Lad Seeks Action

Unquestionably the thing Shires
Is suffering from is inaction.
He's the type which pines on
the pine boards. AS he said when
he left the Braves less than a
week ago, led rather be a reg
ular in some minor league than
an occasional with the Braves.
There being so little difference
in caliber twixt the Braves and
the minors, it appeared as though
Shires was almost taking a crack
At the good Judge Fuchs team.
But apparently Messrs. Fuchs
and McKechnie didn't take Arts
parting shot that way, for within
q few hours thereafter Baxter
Jordan was indisposed and the
Braves officials were very happy
to have the colorful ShireS back
around their first cushion.
The wonder of the whole Situa.
ton concerning Shires is that all
of these things which have hap.
pened to him wherever he stuck
his head up in the major leagues,
do not seem to have curbed his
spirits perceptibly. Even when he
was in Washington early this
month with the Braves, he had
all of his old-time Swagger and
bluster, bringing quite an ovation
from the fans when he relieved
Jordan about midway Of the
game.

Gridder Who
Sips Beer

STOCKTON, Cal, April 18.
Lips that touch beer can never
shout signals for A. A. Stagg.
The veteran gridiron coach to-
day took out enough time from
training his College of the Pacific
men to enter the Observation-Disclosures
discussion, and the foamy brew
took sound beating. Stagg says:
'Tt's the bunk. My team will
be under strict training rules,
which do not include beer. Any
man not observing these rules
will be promptly dismissed from
the sqH1d."
The Nlysical damage, if any, &C.
cruing 'from stein swinging was
not the important point in his
anti-beer campaign. He adds:

make sacrifices in order to gain

things which do him no good.

Art Can Take It

So we were thinking today that
Art Shires has something within
his makeup that ought to make
him valuable to baseball, sooner
or later. Certainly he has proven
that ne "can take it," as the ex.
preston goes.
There has hardly been a rebuff
to which a baseball player can
fall heir that Art "Whatta.
man" Shires hasn't encountered
and accepted with rare grace. He
always comes up with grin. He
never gets discouraged and the
only thing he asks any manager
Is for action.
And his rebuffs haven't all been
Just mere humiliation. He's
taken physical beatings here and
there along his rocky baseball ca.
reer. He's fought his way, justi-
fiably or not, where he thought
it was necessary and he has been
the victim of spiking without let
ting out a cry.
So, whatever his playing short
comings may be, for he hasn't
hung on very long in any major
league chance he has gotten so
far, the 25-year-old Texan possesses
certain qualities of what is often
called intestinal fortitude, which
probably appeal to many, many
baseball fans. At such an age he
is still young enough to overcome
any playing deftness he lacks,
and if he ever does, the rest of
his makeup should stand in the
game of baseball as well as in the
game of life. Shires has what it
takes!

Senators David I. Walsh and

the exhibition schedule which
ended only about two weeks ago.
One of the reasons for this cur
rent slump has been the pitching
the Griffs have been forced to
face ever since the opening Of the
season last Wednesday. It's been
very good, as the records will
prove, and particularly so since
Lefty Grove occupied the mound
for the Philadelphia AS in that
now memorable game of last Fri
day, which the same AS won by
a score of 5 to /.
Grove Starts Things
Grove put the damper on the
Griffs' bats in that contest, it
seems, for ever since Manager
Cronin and his men have been
found wanting up there at the
plate when hits have meant real
big runs.
Fortunately, things clicked last
Saturday when the Boston Red
Sox were defeated 2 to /, but
even in this fray the Griffs to a
man found 1t very, very difficult
to solve Gordon Dusty Rhodes in
that manner which would label
them the new slugging champions
Of the 1888 race.
Yesterday, it was the mis-
fortune of Cronin's team to have
had to face Henry johnson, new
Red SoX hurler, and formerly of
the New York Yankees, when that
individual was in downright
healthy fettle. AS a result a most
decisive licking was taken at the
hands of the supposed weak
Beaneaters and rightly so because
all told when many more in
off Johnson when many more in
the pinches would have turned
the game into a complete rout
had the Griffs clicked at bat as
they should.
To get out of the apparent rut,
Manager Cronin has called an
other Of his batting practice ses-
Sions for today and plans even
more of these drills in the future
until he and his men break out
in that hitting rash that they
know is hidden somewhere and
which they know will storm out
someday, somehow.
Spirit Still High
With it all, Cronin and his
men, as heretofore said, are not
letting the situation bother too
much because they know that
they can't allow themselves to get
in this sad frame of mind at a
time when their best pep, vim
and vigor is needed in these early
games.
And it might be said the team
is still in the highest of spirits
and promises to stay that way
even though one or two games
might have to be sacrificed be-

Over S Pounds Difference
It is an all-important meeting
this duel between two Of the best
drawing cards the town has had
in seasons. A defeat for either
boy will send him Skidding down
the ladder.
Irving is said to be "wiSed'
up to all Vans stuff from theil

statement, Van would necessarily
know something about Irving's
shots, but he isn't saying any
thing about it.
Henry is the gentleman with

Time and again this warrior has
sent the customers whirling from
sensational knockouts. Van, or

he conserves a great deal Of his

OPEN LURES
OVER 100
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON I.


The increase in public parks
golf here is indicated by the
record-breaking field Of over 100
entries that began qualifying to-
day in the Rock Greek Park
open.
Never before has a public
links tourney here exceeded 100
entries, not even the annual
championship. This is healthy
sign and augurs well for the fu-
ture Of local municipal golf.
One of the last-minute entries
was Ted Burrows, who has held
the District muny title often.
Burrows rates favorite, but he
will receive stout opposition.
Field Qualities Today
The field will qualify at 18
holes today and the low 16
scorers will be bracketed into the
championship flight. The bal

'It was only a general state

ORIGINAL STATEMENT
The original statement OF
Brundage was made in a letter

is that the games will not be
