Sound Reasoning
After citing numerous instances
from baseball history to prove his
statement, such as the 1884 series
in which the Cards and the Tigers
committed a total of 81 errors in
seven games, Cochrane gives two
general reasons for the bad series
play.
/. The boys are physically eX-
hausted. You must remember that
they have come through a gruelling
campaign of 154 games during which
they gave everything they had
every minute of every inning Of
every game.
2. They are mentally tense. Vic
tory in a world series means more
to ball player than anything you
can conceive. They live to play in
it and would die to win it. The
strain tightens both mind and mus
Gle.
Cochrane points out, however,
that while the stars are likely to
slump, the lesser players go into
series comparatively free of re-
sponsibility and easy in mind and
body, and consequently often come
out heroes.
"But that's life," he says, land
don't be shocked If the boys COM
nit assault and battery on their
nice clean season records when they
tangle this week in the World series,
It happens to the best Of 'em. And
it all goes to help make the World
series the most exciting, uncertain,
unpredictable, thrilling spectacle in
the sports world

High School Teams Get
Together in Unsched-
uIed Game

Naugatuck, Sept. 30.-With Leav-
enworth high of Waterbury as its
opponent, the local high school foot
ball team will start its schedule at
Recreation field tomorrow afternoon
at 2:30. 1t is expected many fans
will turn out for the game in order
to size up the Naugatuck aggrega-
ton.
The locals are expected to get a
severe test for Bristol high trimmed
Leavenworth Monday by only TO
score. The Waterburians will have
the advantage of one scheduled
games experience, Naugatuck was
to meet Gilbert last week but the
floods caused postponement of the
tilt.
There will be some green" men
playing for Naugatuck tomorrow
and just how the team will shape
up remains to be seen. The locals
started out well last year but proved
rather a disappointment before the
season ended.
Coach Peter j. Foley has been
drilling his players for some time
and hopes the results will show to-
morrow.

(NEA Service Sports Writer)


An electrical thrill goes through
a football crowd with the opening
whistle that isn't matched at any
other time.
Being able to instantly size up
the deployment and movements of
the athletes at the kickoff makes it
all the more interesting and excit-
ing for the spectator.
The defending team kicks from
its own 40-yard line.
The fastest man usually holds
the ball for the kicker. He must
be a good safety man sure
tackler because he is the last
man between the ball carrier and
the goal line in the event that the
carrier breaks through the entire
team.
Usually the ball is returned up
the right side of the field because
1t is easier for most backs to run
to their right. The defense there
fore places five men to the left OF
the kicker and four to the right
facing toward the kicker to be
certain Of remaining on side.
The receiving team usually lines
up with its two finest ball carriers
on the 10-yard line and another

Fordham 'Greenies'
Get Crowley O. 0.
Against Upsala

ing game with Upsala at Randalls
Island Saturday, after nearly five
weeks Of intensive practice sessions
on Fordnam field, followers Of the
Rams believe they will present All
uncertain kicking and passing game
for a time at least, and a rather
doubtful defensive outlook at center,
right end and right tackle. On the
other hand, a puissant overland at
tack is looked for, although 1t will
probably take some time for the In
experienced Maroon linemen to
achieve a smoothness in their pri-
mary blocking.
Joe Woitkoski, who handled Ford
hams kicking last season and did a
great Job of 1t, punted thirty-six
times for a total of one thousand,
five hundred and twenty-one yards,
an average Of forty-two yards try.
Stetve Kazlo, left halfback, however,
who Is scheduled to do the booting
whenever he is in the game, kicked
twenty-nine times for a one thou
sand and eight-one yards, an aver
age Of thirty seven yards a kick.
Thus Kazlo, the number one Ram
kicker, rates five yards behind Volt
koski, statistically at least, one the
basis of the 1887 figures.
Promising
Len Eshmont and Pete Holovak
have been working with Kazlo in
the preseason kicking drill, will also
do some Of the toe work and the
former looks as though he may de-
velop nito the Rams best punter. He
gets a nice spiral with plenty of
height and carry but cannot, as yet,
come up to Kazlo in angling the ball
out-of- bounds at the coffin corner.
Woitkoski and Granski handled
ninety percent Of the Fordham pass
ing last year and between them
chalked up the sixth best percentage
in the country in completed passes.
With both Of these passers no longer
available, the burden of the over
head game falls on Kazlo, Eshmont,
Stan Lewczyk, Bill Krywicki and
Butch Fortunate. Crowley has been
trying to school Eshmont and Lew
czyk without considerable success to
date. It Is likely that Jim will give
his aerial game an exhaustive test
against either Upsala or Waynes-
burg.
Uncertain
A third troublesome factor is the
complete lack of an idea as to how
Red Haggerty and Lou DeFilippo,
centers; Ray Riddick and Joe IN
gerer, right tackles, and Don Bintz
and Vincent Dennery, right ends, are
going to stend UP under regular var
sity fire. The Purdue game ON Oc-
tober is will give the first answer.
The left side of the line conversely,
should be powerful enough to handle
any running attack except Pitts. The
co-captains, Harry Jacunski and
Mike Kochel, at left end and left
guard respectively, will flank Big
Chief Kuzman, the gigantic two
hundred and twenty pounl left
tackle.
Although the ability of this new
Fordham line to block as did Wolfe
and company on offense is highly de-
batable Gin fact, it is almost certain
that they WON'T, the running attack
with Kazlo, Eshmont, Lewczyk, Hol-
ovak, Principe and Friedgen, alal
fine carriers. is more than apt to be
the best Crowley has had on Rose
Hill. These boys can really go all
out with the pigskin. On defense
the Rams will not be SO strong as
last season; neither viii they be a
collective sieve.
