Hagerty Making Play
Highly Important
In Hoya Attack
Hopes to Overcome Fact
That Generals Forget
His Pet Under Fire
BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON,

It's going to be an awfully clever
or mighty dizzy football team
Georgetown sends to the post for
its curtain-raiser with Temple
couple Of weeks hence, because Jack
Hagerty, boss of the Hilltop ma
chine, insists on plenty Of spinner
plays for the Hoyas this autumn.
And to make sure he gets results
Hagerty intends to give all his
quarterbacks driving tests before
intrusting field operations to their
Judgment, and anybody not famil-
lar with the meaning Of a seven
letter word meaning spinner might
gust as well apply for good, steady
guard or tackle position.
For some inexplainable reason"
Hagerty was saying today. "our
quarterbacks shy at calling spinners.
Why, I don't know. Either they get
all wrapped up in series of plays
and forget the spinners or else use
them once or twice and let it go at
that. | think a spinner Is the most
deceptive maneuver in football If
executed properly, and I want our
boys to use them frequently. We
devoted most of spring practice to
them, and we're emphasizing them
now SO there will be no excuse for
not trying them"
Goes for a Touchdown.
Two years ago at Bucknell George
~
the first half without a semblance
of a spinner. Then Tommy Keat-
ing called for one on the Bisons'
23-yard line that was good for a
touchdown, the runner going over
without even seeing a defensive
player. Between halves Hagerty
pointed out the efficacy of the play
and instructed Heating to use it
more often in the second half Well,
Tommy did as told He used two
Spinners in the second half.
And Keating in my book" Hag-
erty pointed out, was a smart
quarterback. He got all wrapped
up in series of plays-you know
how they set the stage for climax
play-and forget the spinner 1t
can happen to anybody and should
know having been a quarterback
myself"
A couple of years ago when Joe
Mellendeck was a junior, George
town had a play especially designed
for the Baltimore speed merchant. |
1t was simple trick Joe ran to
the fiat all by himself and took a
short, sharp pass. The linemen
were supposed to filter through and |
pick him up downfield and with any
sort of interference at all Joe was
a cinch to get from 25 yards up on
the play. Well, the boys tried it a
couple of times to make sure it !
worked properly and then slowed
it away for the big Maryland game. |
Finally Thinks About 1t.
They kept it so well hidden they |
forget about 1t themselves until the
last minute when Maryland had the
game sewed up. In that last minute |
Mellendeck went from his own 20
to Maryland's 2-yard line where
time expired.
Georgetown has had the plays |
and, at times, the players to make
them click, and Hagerty intends to
get the most out of both this year.
Mistakes will be overlooked if the |
lad calling the play is gambling on
a maneuver that may go for
touchdown or at least a Sizable
hunk of territory but the young
gentlemen who insist on calling for
straight bucks over guard or inside
tackle are going back to the ends
the ends of the bench. +

Yankees Made Greet Grob
In AGED Wiley Moore

The Yankees once made a great
grab Of an aged-in-the-minors
pitcher. That was when they
bought Wiley Moore Nobody knew
how old Wiley was. He said he
was 26, but when everybody laughed
he boosted his age to 30 He prob
ably was 35. He had been around
so long and had covered such wide
territory that accurate records on
him were missing.
He had reached the end of another
season and was packing up to go
home when he heard the Yankees
had bought him. He had just about
made up his mind to quit and settle
down on his farm in Oklahoma, but
the news from New York fired him
all over again.
He was, for a spell of a year
or SO, I think, the greatest relief
pitcher I ever saw-and I've seen
a lot OF them across the years, right
down to and including Johnny
Murphy of the Yankees and Joe
Beggs of the Reds But Wiley was
so good that when the other clubs
saw him trudging in from the bull
pen they folded up,
Bonhom OuthurIs FeIIer

He could pitch complete games
and win them, too-his pitching in
the 1927 World Series was magnif-
cent. But Miller Higgins wanted
him to stand back of Herb Pennock,
Waite Hoyt, George Pipgras and
the rest-and to move up when
serious trouble loomed
After all the years he had pounded
the minor league trails, he didn't
have much major league pitching
left in his system and he gave out

going. I heard just the other day
that he is pitching somewhere in

III bet he's still getting by with that
sinker that had the major leagues
throwing their bats away 10 years
ago
Bonham's finest achievement SO
far was, of course, his victory over
Bob Feller in the opening game
of the series in Cleveland last week
Ordinarily spot like that was no
spot for a pitcher freshly recruited
from the minors. But actually he
was the logical choice for the job
the way he had been going
He took Feller on-and beat him
of. He outpitched the greatest
young pitcher in baseball and one

anything, short of his right arm

Bonhum Gets Break;
Gives Yunks One
By GRANTLAND RICE.

NEW YORK, Sept. II N.AN.A).
In desperation few weeks ago
the Yankees reached down to their
Kansas City farm and came up with
q 27-year-old pitcher by the name
Of Ernie Bonham. 1t was a great
break for Bonham. 1t may turn
out to have been an even greater
break for the Yankees because if
the Yankees win the pennant, no.
body can say that Bonham didn't
make it possible.
He came at time when the
pitching staff was staggering and
Joe Mccarthy didn't know where to
look for a marksman who could 60
nine innings. He tossed Bonham in
practically as soon as he arrived
and Bonham not only went nine inn
ings but won his ball game as well
and he has been going great ever
since.
The lift he gave the pitching staff
put the Yankees right back in the
thick Of the tusSle. Just a little
while before they rapidly were 60
ing no place in particular.
He came up fully equipped, by
reason OF stuff, control and tem-
perament. to pitch in the big leagues
He knew it was going to be tougher
than pitching in the American As
sociation and be girded himself for
1t. He studied the hitters on every
club he saw, talked to Mccarthy,
talked to the other players and
found out lot Of things he wanted
TO know.
Unofroid But Not Coeky;
Wonted Only information
He wasn't scared and he wasn't
overconfdent. But he was sure
that if he knew how to pitch to each
to keep the bill where he wanted it
and the stuff to keep it from being
hit too far and too often All he
wanted Mccarthy and the other
players to do was to show him the
way. They did-and he has stuck
to it.
Carl Hubbell was just that kind
vi pICSIlcI "IlcIl lie up Will
the Giants. He had been up briefly
a couple of times with the Tigers
and had knocked around in the
minors so long he thought he was
going to stay there for the rest of
his life. Then Dick Kinsella recon-
mended him to John McGraw and
McGraw bought him.
Like Bonham, he wasn't awed by
his surroundings. He knew he
could pitch-and that at last he
had got the break he rated. Like
Bonham, he was stepping into fast
company, for in those days the
Giants always were around the top
somewhere and shooting for the
jackpot.
But Hubbell moved right in and
a week hadn't gone by before every
body in the league knew the Giants
had come up with a good pitcher
They might not have known he was
going to be a great picher but, at
that, think they suspected it.
Like Bonham, he had the poise and
presence that an ordinary pitcher
just up from the minors doesn't
have.
