Threat to Scoring Marks

It was at the latter contest that
his mother. Mrs. Beulah Engleman
of Arkansas City, Kans.. defied a
jinx and watched her son perform.
When Howard was prep star she
seldom saw him play because her
presence invariably conceded with
his teams defeat.
Only once previously had she seen
him as a college player-in the loss
to Hank Ibas Oklahoma Aggies two
years ago.
"HoWard's teammates do all the
work and then throw him the ball, "
she said after watching her curly
haired son pour in "a points that
brought his seasons total for 10
games TO 1911.
Record Appears Certain.
1t looks cinch for Engleman to
cop the Big Six scoring record
Frank Groves of Kansas State set
it at 154 points for 10 games in
1897 Howard has f1icked in 102 in
five games-which leaves him five
in which to adj only 56 more for a
new mark.
During much OF the 1910 season
he was a substitute because of an
injured knee. But it healed in time
for him to win N. c. A A. all
America honors in the drive which
lifted Kansas to a runnerup berth
behind Indiana.
Engleman, main reason Kansas

Brooklyn Mans o. B. A.
Shows Up SIobmen
Bv JOHN LARDNER,
Special Correspondent of The Star.


NEW YORK, Feb. IL (N.AN.A).-
In a tangled patch of jungle in
darkest Brooklyn lives a statisticlan
by the name of Thomas Holmes. a
man with a mission. Every year he
picks the leading pitcher of the Ma
tional League by sinister form OF
mumbo- Jumbo which he evolved one
day while spearing crocodiles on the
bank of the gray. green, greasy Go
Uanus Canal, where 1t flows beneath
the coconut palms.
His system is known as the Holmes
Q. b A. When Bill Brandt, the
steward and chief calculator of the
National League, puts out his green
book" each year at this time, he
always finds room for the Holmes
Q. B. A.
Mr.. Holmes must have something.
His o. B. A, which means oppo-
nents' batting average, produces
results which are sane and sound
as for instance this year, when 1t
shows Bucky Walters to be the
leagues leading pitcher. There is no
doubt that the Cincinnati ace was
the best pitcher in his loop in 1910,
and the fact that he leads the o. B.
A. seems to mean that the o. B. A.
Is a good yardStick.
Ofrcially, pitchers are measured
by their earned run averages and
their percentage in games won and
lost. Sometimes a really able pitcher
Is lost in this system. Kirby Higbe,
late Of the Phillies, ranked 18th in
earned runs last year and goth in
percentage. Yet Higoe is considered
one of the four or five best men in
the league.

LAWRENCE, Kans.. Feb. Ii
Howard Engleman will pitch you
pennies, marbles. softballs, basket
balls or chalk-juSt as you prefer.
And to show why he is the leading
scorer in the Big Six basket ball race
with an average of 20 points game
the Kansas forward f1oated up q
dozen softballs to 3-inch sill above
a door without miss.
He did it with all the ease Of
tossing pennies at crack-with the
Grand Canyon as that crack.
1t is this acute sense OF co-ordina-
tion-his soft touch" Coach Phog
Allen calls it-that makes Engleman
threat to every Big Six scoring
mark.
On the basket ball court Engle-
mans shot is every bit as soft. The
ball seems to cuddle up against the
bankboard for a full second, peek
into the hoop and then futter
through the netting
Englemans Shot Deceptive.
Allen also adds that Engleman's
shot is one Of the most deceptive
in his 20 years of coaching because
of the speed the senior forward dis
plays in going down the floor.
And the lazy speed of the ball
isn't increased one bit if it is re-
leased with the player off balance.
Against Missouri he stuffed in a
two-pointer while falling. Against
Wichita University he fired while
sitting on the floor. He connected,

Eagles Seeking New

Orioles Tonight
Aiming to Check Plunge
By Borrowing z Rovers
Or Trading With Them
By BURTON HAWKINS.

With painfully needed fresh tai
ent likely to bolster their collapsiole
club before the opening puck is
whacked tonight at Riverside Sta
dunn, the tobogganing Washing
ton Eagles will attempt to check
their pathetic plunge and lock the
Eastern Amateur Hockey League
lead at the expense OF their foe,
the Baltimore Orioles.
Likely to be hustled here for the
crucial game with the Orioles. who
recently supplanted Washington in
the top spot in a drive from fourth
place, are two New York Rovers,
whom Coach Red Mackenzie was
seeking through the medium Of a
loan or trade.
Defeated six times and tied once
in their last seven league matches,
the Eagles have been talking trade
with the Rovers for the past 10
days but had not reached an agree
ment at press time.
Want Center and Wingman.
Probably offered as bait for a
trade we're Frank Mailley, Jack
Macbeth, Mike Germann, Roy Nc
Bride, Russ RoSsignol and Johnny
McTeer, with the Eagles seeking a
center and wingman in exchange
for any of those players. New
York was likely to close a deal on
its own terms, since Mackenzie ap-
parently is determined to give his
squad a drastic shaking.
Tonight'S tiff at Riverside and
another meeting of the clubs to-
morrow night at Baltimore may be
the key to the championship strug-
gle and Mckenzie appreciates the
position. Unless he can snap the
Eagles from their skid in the next
two nights Washington's title hopes
are likely to perish.
Washington has received a break

play to capacity crowd. The two

Orioles Hold Margin.

the Orioles have won Washington

to clip almost three seconds off
their best performance this winter.
