Breaks Up Comedy Team.

? A LIS departure from the club breaks
n up what had become almost an
institution in base ball, the
comedy team of Altrock and Schacht.
The clowning and burlesquing by
these coaches entertained millions in
the ball parks throughout the coun-
try in the 10 years they worked to-
gether.
Their fame spread beyond the dia-
monds of the major leagues. The
pair once hooked up with Joe Engel,
lone scout Of the Nationals. for a
Winters showing in vaudeville, and
AL and Nick also did their clowning at
professional basket ball games be-
tween base ball campaigns.
Virtually every base ball fan in the
big league cities is familiar with the
fishing, tennis and boxing skits Al
and Nick enacted, but undoubtedly
their biggest hit was the slow-motion
exhibition of pitching and batting.
A breach between the two coach
comedians that developed in recent
years curtailed their pre-game fun
making, but Schacht carried on with
a one-man show. And he probably
will bob up with something to make
Boston's Fenway Park fans roar with
laughter next year.

the twelfth meeting of the two teams
since they established foot ball rela-

Holy Cross scored twice in the first
period, both touchdowns coming from
sustained marches.
In the second period Brown made
its first touchdown of the season in a
major game.
The third Holy Cross touchdown
lust before the end of the half, how
ever, dimmed the chances OF the
Bruins.
Brown made IA first downs in the
second half to 2 for Holy Cross, leaving
the totals for the game, 16 for the
Bruins and II for the Crusaders. The
Bruins also released flood Of aerials

Drinmore Lad Winner.

IRON the standpoint of class the
Il Dinwiddie timber race of miles
over the timber course topped all
others, matching the talents of three
Of the best timber horses and amateur
jockeys in America
Drinmore Lad, an Irish jumper from
the stables of Paul Mellon of Pitts

long route and was an easy winner
over Noel Laing's Charioteer, a for
mer stake horse that earlier in the

ite in the betting because of a bril-
liant performance at Llangollen a few

had gone sore on the hard ground.
They might have called the first
brush race the Burleigh instead of
the Burnleigh, its proper title, as
Burleigh Cocks was the only rider to
finish the course in saddle. He came
cantering home unhurriedly after all
three of the other starters fell.

entry of Hopeful Jim and Cold Punch
which parted company with Henry

RICE TAKES IT EASY

Beats Mediocre Texas A. and M.
Eleven, 25-6, Making Free
Use of Reserves.

@OLLEGE STATION, Tex, Novem-
ber 17.-Without great deal of
effort, the formidable Rice Owls
today continued their undefeated
march by swamping a game but
mediocre Texas A. & M. eleven, 25
to 6.
The Owls first string, led by their
halfback, Bill Wallace, ran up a 49,
too lead in less than two quarters.
Second stringers then took over the
job and the Farmers battled them on
even terms.
The Aggies threw a scare into the
Owls near the start. After an Aggie
back had knocked a Rice pass into
Charlie Deware's hands in midfeld,
the Farmers opened a surprising drive
which carried to the Owls 81. There
the Rice line braced and pass al
most to the goal was incomplete.
Wallace took command at that
point and the Cadets never had an
other chance.

Schacht Did Well Here.

"HERE was no dissatisfaction with
the work of Schacht to bring
about his release. Griffith deems
AL a fine coach and an all-around
handy man with ball club. But
Schacht is very friendly with Cronin
and when Joe was shifted to Boston
AL yearned to go along.
Right after the Cronin deal with
the Red Sox was completed Schacht
came down from the Bronx to seek his
release from the Washington Club.
He told Griffith he thought he could
make better arrangements for himself
with some other outfit and was given
permission to better himself as he
might.
In letter from Cronin received
by Griffith yesterday, the Red Sox
pilot said he had retained Schacht.
So Al got what he greatly desired.
Schacht has left the Nationals after
coaching for them in IL successive
seasons. He was with them before as
a pitcher. It was Harris who brought
Schacht here as coach in 1924. Al
reported to the Nationals in June of
that campaign and Bucky always has
said that this coach's heady work at
third base did much to get the ball

r AWRENCE, Kans., November
17.-Nebraska defeated Kansas
l. 80 today with a field goal
booted out of a puddle in the
fourth quarter by Virgil Yelkin, an
unsoiled player sent into the muddy
battle for that specific purpose.
Willy Coach Dana x. Bible, playing
as usual with an ace in the hole,
saw his sprinting halfbacks mired
and helpless on a muddy gridiron
The brightest Of the lot, Lloyd Card
well, was disabled on the first scrim-
mage play.
Bible called upon Yelkin about
midway through the final quarter, a
few plays after Fullback Glenn
Skewes had swept loose around his
right end on a 44-yard jaunt that
carried to the Jayhawk 36-yard line.
Skewes saddened the Kansas home
coming crowd of l7,025 by streaking
off down the side line after a dull
punting duel into which they settled
after Nebraska's longest infantry ex-
cursion was halted and tossed back
from the 4-yard line in the first
| quarter.
After Sleeves great run, Halfback
Bob Benson made the next ap-
preciable gain, but almost bobbled the
ball away. He recovered at the
14-yard line, and later advanced Z
yards short of the goal.
Quarterback Henry Bauer received
the passback, deposed the ball
squarely upright on the 13-yard line,
and Yelkin delivered the field goal to
leave Nebraska undefeated at the top
of the Big Six standing.
Kansas made only one first down
to Nebraska's nine. and only A
yards at scrimmage compared with
NebraSka's 245.

Bench Best, Harris Insists.

TrARRIS prefers to let his aloes
IT take the coaching lines at first
and third bases, instead of doing
the traffic directing on the paths him
self. He considers the bench the place
for a clubs manager.
AS Bucky points out, it is the duty
of the manager not only to oversee the
game as staged in all departments, but
also to act as adviser to his players
during their batting turns. At work
in the coach's box, he feels he would
be unable to look after all details. The
coach must concentrate on his par
ticular duty, Harris contends, if he
is to be worthy of the place.
Bucky holds to this policy Of bench
management, despite that it aroused
the ire of Detroit fans against him
while he piloted the Tigers. There
was bitter complaint by the Detroiters
because Harris steadfastly refrained
from getting on the line to show his
runners the way around. Sports writ
ers in Detroit also commented causti-
cally. But Bucky would not bulge
from his stand.
Harris is sustained in his policy by
Griffith, the Nationals president. The
big boss believes that Bucky can &C
complish far more by directing his
men from the bench.
After all, there seems no reason for
a manager to act as coach. None of
the playing managers takes the line.
And other non-playing pilots than
Harris have left the base-running di-
rection to assistants.

BENCH DIRECTION

Will Select Griff Staff This
Week-Judge to Get Post
Schacht Leaves.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.

~ ELECTION of a staf of coaches
that will permit him to remain
on the bench, instead of work.
ing on the line during ball
games, will be the first move made by
Bucky Harris, back at the helm of the
Washington ball club.
The new manager says he will choose
his aides after a conference with Clark
Grifhth while the two are on their
way to Louisville, where they will at
tend the annual conclave of the minor
leagues this week.
Right now you may chalk up the
name of Joe Judge as one of the new
coaches. The way to job this old
pal of Harris and a veteran OF many
years service with the Nationals has
been paved by the release Of Alexander
Schacht.
Schacht asked for his walking papers
that he might follow Joe Cron1n to
the Red SoX. Joe always has re-
garded AL as the best coach at third
base-and that Is the most difficult
post for a coach in a ball game-in
the business. So next year Schacht
will be with the Hub hosts.
OF course, Nick Altrock will be re-
tanned. He has become a fixture with
the Washington club. But Nick takes
the line only on rare occasions, so
Harris will add more active coach to
his staff. Perhaps Roger Peckingpaugh
will be brought here. Or maybe Bib
Falk. who was with Bucky in Boston.
Both are out of jobs.
