BERGER GETS CHANCE
1t wasn't until ShOrtstOp Luke
Appling of the Pale Hose was
incapacitated by a broken leg
that BOzie Berger got his chance.
The Appling accident occurred
in the early part of last season,
and Manager Jimmy Dyk was
forced to use the Maryland
flash to plug the gap. How the
young man would hold up as a
substitute for one of the finest
keystone Sackers in the game
was prOblematical.
But Berger filled the bill. His
spectacular fielding, along with
timely hitting, was a prime rea-
son why the SOx continued to
threaten the league leaders.
1t must be said that Berger is
improving with the bat and

WITH GA. Tech

BERKELEY, Cal, Dec. 81
G.N.S0. The final score goes
down in the record books at Cali
fornia, 13; Georgia Tech, 0, but
what should go down is Vic Bot
tari, California left halfback, 13;
Georgia Tech, 0.
For three and a half quarters
the two teams battled on even
terms, but from then on it was
all Vic. He led two late drives Of
so and 66 yards for touchdownS,
scoring the first himself and send
ing Louis Smith across the goal
line for the final tally with only
half a minute of play remaining.
Bottari rolled up 108 yards from
scrimmage on 81 plays for an aver.
age gain Of 3.6 yards per try. The
Bear attack failed to move against
the Scrappy Yellowjackets until
Bottari took matters into his own
hands. From then on there was
no stopping him.
TECH PLAYED HARD
The Georgians put up a stiff
battle all the way, but they did not
have the power to crack the
Bear middle.
Once during the third period
Tech moved down as far as the
California '1S-yard line, but they
fell short of making a first down
by inches.
Tricky plays. especially runs
from punt formation on second
and third downs, gained good
yardage for Georgia Tech, but the
lack of power down the middle
gave the Bears the chance to
spread out and take care of every
potential ball handler.
Thirty thousand fans watched
the game in perfect football

That isn't exactly a secret. Prac-
tically everybody who is inter
ested knew as early as the close
of the 1888 campaign that Foxx
was In, but now it is official, and
league headquarters provide some
interesting sidelights.
AS reminder, Foxx was the
batting champion for the first
time in 1888 and by hitting SO
home runs last season he hit SO
or more for the second time dur
ing his career.
GREENBERG TIES FEAT
Back in 1882, as a member Of
the Philadelphia Athletics, he
blasted So, a feat duplicated last
season by Hank Greenberg Of the
Detroit Tigers, leaving them both
exactly two behind Babe Ruth's
record of so.
Those So blasted by Foxx and
Greenberg set the all-time pace
for a right-handed hitter, and thus
Greenberg came in for a share OF
glory himself last season. Green
berg's slugging, however, couldn't
do the Tigers much good last sea
son. They finished seventh in the
league in club batting and fourth
in the standings.
The tonic effect Of Foxx'S hit
ting is reflected to some extent by
the fact that the Red Sox finished
first in club batting with an i'm
pressive average of .299 and helped
to pull the Sox into second place
finish in the pennant race.
