RICHMOND, Va, Sept. Ia
Southern Conference football squads,
noted for powerful lines and defen-
sive backs last fall, are expected to
present a more versatile and effec-
tive attack on offense this season.
Talent was concentrated along
forward walls in 1888 with such
force that the total points scored
against loop members was surpris-
ingly low, while, on the other hand,
conference teams fell far below aver
age in tallying themselves.
Early reports from the scattered
training camps indicate that back
fields will be back to normal
strength and that coaches are plan
ming to offset graduation weakened
lines with more passing and decep-
ton.
Clemson Strong in Backs.
Few coaches have any serious
backfield problems, but none per
haps is more fortunately situated
than Jess Nicely at Clemson, where
Banks McFadden and Chippy
Maness, triple-threaters; Shad Bry-
ant and Bru Trexler. f1ashy ball
carriers, and Capt. Joe Payne, block
ing ace, are on hand to carry the
mail.
Other camps where keen salts
faction has been expressed with
backfield material include North
Carolina, Wake Forest, v. NJ. I. and
Richmond.
Dukes defending champions are
banking on a quartet of veterans,
George and Yves McAfee. Roger
Robinson and Easy Eaves, who may
pack more scoring punch than the
1888 backs. but the Blue Devils will
still miss Eric Tipton's kicking and
Bob OMara's S running.

They've been pretty coy about an

that it is the most important affair

moter, claims to have raised around

Case Is One Griffmun
With Right to Crow
By JOHN LARDNER,

special Correspondent u lHe Stdl.
NEW YORK, Sept. IL (N.A.NAD.-
The Washington ball club is packed
with quiet young men, and, when
you contemplate their teams posi-
tion in the world, you can see why
they do not jump up in the air,
yelling, and kick their heels to-
gether with what We gascons refer
to as joie de vivre.
However, there is no good reason
why George Washington Case
should be as silent as Lewis, Travis.
and the rest of the younger element
among the Nationals. Case is a
world leader. He leads the world in
stolen bases. He has stolen more
bases than any big Lacquer since the
year of William Benjamin Chap
mans great rush of larceny in 1881
when Benjamin stole 81.
And Cases employer, Clark Grif-
fifth, will not hear of any compar-
ison's between Chapman and Case.
Case is faster and smarter
base runner than Chapman ever
was" says Mr.. Griffith, who once
paid Benjamins salary with ill-con-
cealed reluctance. Chapman was a
wild kind of base runner. They al
ways were throwing him out. They
don't catch this kid very often, let
me tell you

Manager Bucky Haris, visiting

all right. He's growing into really
valuable ballplayer. 1 never saw
anybody get down to first base so
fast, and I've seen lot of fast
ones. They tell me this Gutteridge,

can go like a rabbit, but I wouldn t
mind matching Case against him.

or trap him off the bag. That means

To all this, George Washington
Case, who is out of Trenton, N. j.,
and % years old, adds nothing
though he probably could.
Il just watch for spot" he says,
"and go down.
Mr.. Bill Dickey says that this is
not the half of it. Mr. Dickey OF
the Yankees, a catcher with one of
the quickest minds and strongest
truest arms in the business, calls
Case the most dangerous base run
ner he faces from ones years end
to the other.
"He studies the pitchers motion
like Gehringer and a couple of other
smart runners do testifies Mr.
Dickey. HE seems to know whether
the throw is going to the plate OF
the base, and he takes full ad-
vantage of that. It's quite trick
to throw him out, even if your throw
splits the target"

Corey, Caught Only Twice,
Set Efficiency Record

I haven't got the figures, but IL
will be interesting to see what Case S
larceny quotient will be at the end
of the season-hoW many times they
throw him out in how many tries.
Max Carey stole 81 bases and missed
only twice in 1922, for the most ef-
ficient record in the book. Case will
have his troubles matching it, but
he figures to steal just as many
bases as Carey did that year, and,
barring a late epidemic of stool
pigeons, his record will show few
arrests.
The year Ty Cobb stole Sc bases
the highest big league total since
Bill Lange stole 100 in the Cos
he was caught 38 times In further
disparagement of Tyrus, who has
plenty of laurels to rest on, after
all, the boys say that he used to
run wild when the enemy had a
100 lead, and, still further, that
Cobb embezzled his bases at time
when it counted as a steal if you
went down behind an impatient
pitcher with a big lead who took
his windup in the late innings.

Another such runner, though few
remember it, was George Sisler,
more famous today for his 400 hit

more than any other base-runner
they had to deal with, and Carey, a
specialist on the subject. ranks him

don't even hear him."
