The
Jackie Robinson's 1916 Baseball
Debut is Success; Brooklyn

The 1916 baseball seasons swan

A marked man at the beginning

ball, with the opposition employ
ing every trick in the book to sly
mic him, Robinson proceeded to
smash all obstacles to smithereens.
He pounded the pellet at a steady
pace, to win the batting champion
ship Of the International League
and ran around the basepaths like
a frightened gazelle. Oldtimers
likened the former UCLA star to
Eddie Collins, as he caverted ar
ound the keystone like a giant oc-
topus with his long snaky hands
gobbling up certain base knocks

BILE plays.
Twas no wonder that at the con
clusion of the recent Junior world
series, the Montreal fans refused
to leave the stadium until their
new idol, the man who had liter
ally whipped the potent Louisville
Colonel club single-handed, made
an appearance.
1t a a heart-touching specta-
Gle to see Robinson being man
handled by the voctory-happy
fans. Evidently, both Robinson and
his well wishers were overwhelm-
ed with the same thought. Here
was a man who had overcome an
apparently insurmountable barri-
er. all but one that never should
have existed among civilized peo-
pie. Thanks to Jackie, and others
like him, we are n step carer

game against North Platte. This
YVES mostly due to the fact that
practically all of our 81 day prac-
tice time prior to the first game
was spent in developing an offense
that would make yardage. Since
the first game u defense has i'm
proved week by week and I believe
boys are now handling their
defensive assignments in good
shape.
The first string line of Williams
and Popp at ends; Ortega and
Busch at tackles; Gunnell and
Schmidt at guards; and Puchinski
at center, are perhaps the smooth
est and most effective line we have
had at Boys Town. Due to the ma
ture Of the T formation line play
enormous responsibility for the
success of any one play exclusive
of blocking rests with our tackles
first and our guards and ends sec
ond. The tackles are really line
quarterbacks. and after the signal
caller gives the play in the huddle
it is up to our guard, tackle and
end to open the hole the most eff
fective way. This affords this unit
a wide range of blocking patterns
and necessarily demands almost
instantaneous mental and physic-
al group coordination. Our boys
in the line really enjoy this type
Of responsibility and no DOUBT il
is because of this interest that they
handle different opposing defen-
sive. situations SO well.
Our second string line of Henry

beski, Ward and Papalini mex

Jimmy Mitchell, at 142 lbs, is
playing his fourth year as a regu-
lar halfback. Despite his lack of
weight, he is an excellent blocker,

From indications to date his play
this year will even surpass his
great work of the 1915 season.
Leonard Knoll is playing his LIST

seasons he handled the quarter
back position but due to his speed
and running ability he is proving
valuable as a fuHback. He is a
real offensive threat and is the
type Of runner that his POSSIBLE

he has his hands on the ball.
Jerry Howard. at right half, is
improving with every game. He
played enough during the 1915
season to letter and holds down the
toughest Job on defense Of any Of
our backs. We use Jerry as n Of
our line hackers and in spite Of his
lack of weight, he tackles with
authority.
Tom Corodine rounds out the LIST
string backfield as our quarter
back. The offensive success of our
T rests soley upon him. Upon his
choice of plays and ball handling
depends our running game. He is
an excellent passer, either short
or long. and when the occasion de
mands he drops back and ably
takes care of all kicking duties.

For the two previous football sea-

a place as a regular on our foot
