pretty fair control
The former Mud Hen pitch
ed the first game of a double
header last Sunday and together
with Art Houtteman, Tiger ace
must have set some kind of rec
ord.
The record, if it is one, will
not be found in the books but
certainly is a unique one. 1t is.
we believe, the first time any
two pitchers, who graduated
from the same high school, work
ed a game together for the same
major league club.
Both are graduates of Detroit
Central Catholic High School
and naturally were stars on the
school nine. 1t is quite unusual
to say the least for such a feat
Rolfe had great praise for Her
bert earlier this week in Wash
ington when he said the young
ster no doubt would soon be one
of the leagues outstanding hurl-
ers. After his first performance
against the AS the Tiger man
ager reported that Herbert pitch
ed a better game than Houtte-
man on that particular day. And
that's quite a compliment.
Herbert, who is only 20 years
old, has only the draft and in
juries to worry about. If he can
get by these two he could be a
Big League star in the near fu-
ture.

what he thinks is an un-

(Bob) Snyder, head football
coach at Toledo U. will have
two separate freshman football
teams this year.
While one team is practiclng
for its weekly game with the
frosh of another college, the al
ternate team will scrimmage the

coming opponent.
The following week the frosh
will alternate, changing places
to give each player a chance to
show his stuff in a freshman
game and not overworking him
in varsity scrimmage.
