Top Threats to
IC-4A Mile Mark

NEW YORK, Mar. 7 (AP).-
The mile record of 4:08.1 is ex-
pected to go by the boards in
the IC-4A track and field
championships in Madison
Square Garden Saturday, but
the big question is who'll i'm
prove on it.
Both John Reilly of George
town and Mark Mullin of Har-
ward have been clicked in 4:07
this year and giving them
tough competition will be Larry
RawSon of Boston College, Vic
zwolak of Villanova and Steve
Moorehead of Penn State,
among others.
Bobby Mack of Yale, who
has run a 4:08.2 mile, has de-
cided to concentrate on the q
mile. in which he is the de-
Tending champion.
Some observers believe he is
capable of doing two miles in
1855, beating the meet record
of Dartmouth's Tom Laris, who
did $3.50 two years ago. Laris
is a contender again but has
been well below his old form.
Frank Carver of Notre Dame is
another 2-mile threat in the
meet, which ends the indoor
track season in New York.

SPRING SPORTS SCHEDULES
New Pitchers to Help
Maryland Baseball

Maryland's lacrosse team will
launch the Terps' spring sports
season with an exhibit n
against Mt. Washington Club
March II, but the baseball
team will wind up the busiest.
Coach Jack Jackson's base
ball team. with only three of
last years regular back, will
play a 22-game schedule, be-
ginning with a home affair
against Dartmouth March q.
One of the highlightS of the
spring sports campaign will be
Ia lacrosse exhibition between
the Terps and a touring Aus
tralian all-star team March "a
at College Park. In all, 10
matches are scheduled, plus
four exhibitions.
Doyle Royals tennis squad,
which had an "a mark last
year, has a dozen matches
booked, plus the annual ACC
tournament at Raleigh. The
golf squad, coached by Frank
Cronin, will play IL matches,
plus the ACC tournament at
Winston-Salem and the NCAA
tournament at Durham.
Jackson figures the Terps
should improve on last years
8-12 baseball record, chiefly be-
cause of some tstandin g
sophomore pitchers - Richard
Koch, a lefthander, and John

BOB MARGARITA
RETURNS TO Blu

BOSTON, Mar. 7 (AP).-
Bob Margarita, who coached
Georgetown University's last
intercollegiate football team
in 1850, rejoined the coaching
ranks today as backfield coach
of Boston University, a post
he had held twice previously.
Margarita, who played half
back at Brown University and
with the professional Chicago
Bears, was out of football the
last two seasons. After George
town disbanded the sport he
took over as freshman coach
at Harvard, a position he held
for six years. He coached the
backfield at Blu in 1857 and
1859.

tive Of Washington and a grad
uate of Gonzaga High School,
Father McGrath was a George
town football fan from the
early 1920s. In 1910, as a
member of the faculty, he vot-
ed in favor of Georgetown's ac-
ceptance of a bid to play in
the Orange Bowl.
But II years later I voted
against football" he says. "A
great change had taken place,
not only in costs, but in at
titude.
I'm 1910, a boy finished
practice at $50 or 6 o'clock
and the freshmen and sopho-
mores had to be waiting on
tables at 6. Everybody had to
be in his room studying at 7:15
I'm 1949 we got an urgent
request to light up the field
for practices late at night. We
turned it down. But every
night the players had to look
at movies. Monday night they
watched them with one set OF
coaches; Tuesday night with
another. Wednesday night they
had to watch movies of the
team coming up. Then they
hit the road.
when I raised a question
about this I was told I was old
fashioned.
And it was costly. Before
the war salaries for the coach
ing staff totaled between $10,-
900 and $4,000. After the wal
Margarita considered himself
underpaid at $4,000 and he had
three assistants and a fresh
man coach at $4,000 each. And
when one assistant didn't work
out, he didn't want to fire him
he just wanted to add another
man."
Unless a school has ample
funds coming in through gate
receipts big-time college foot
ball means financial suicide
And Hagerty, who gets a mel
ancholy look when reminded Of
the old days, says there is nc
way to force patronage.

time, to .313 and he demonstrated that he
could both catch and manage pennant win
ners. If Cochrane had fault it was that
of driving himself too hard. In 1894, when
he caught and piloted the Tigers to their
first pennant since 1909, he virtually was a
basket case by the time the World Series
with the Cardinals rolled around.
But he had to catch and take his turn
in the batting order because, while he
wouldn't say so, Mickey was the CUTS Of
the Tigers. However. his physical condition
became so bad that he was forced to spend
his nights in a hospital, leaving his bed to
play in the afternoon.
Connie Mack called the turn on
Cochrane when he bought him from Port
land after the 1924 season. The Old Man
gave up five players and $4,000 for a kid
who had only been in the Pacific Coast
League for one year, and had played in
1928 at Dover under the name of Frank
King, for reasons known only to himself
- -
"HE CAN'T CATCH MUCH" Connie
once told Ty Cobb, but he can hit and he's
a fighter. He's lot like you, Ty."
The Philadelphia Athletics at the time
Connie bought Mickey, had a very good
receiver in Ralph Perkins, who was called
Cy. He was the type of catcher that AL
Lopez was to become later, smooth, highly
intelligent stylish and the favorite of
pitchers, even though he didn't knock down
fences when he was hitting.
Look after this kid" Connie asked
Perkins when Mickey arrived on the Phila-
delphia scene. 1t was not an order, merely
request. In effect, Perkins was being
told to groom catcher who would take
his own job away.
Cy could have refused, or Sloughed off,
but he didn't. He worked on Cochrane's
catching, polishing his rough edges with
the care of diamond cutter. There was
little or nothing he could tell the rookie
about hitting, but Perkins could and did
relate to Mickey the fine points of catch
ing, the weaknesses of rival hitters.
The relationship between pupil and
teacher, fostered on the bench and in hotel
lobby talks and during the long hours on
the trains, ripened into deep friendship

Perkins gave Mickey a reasSuring pat on
the buttockS, a friendly smile, and
mouthed some such words as, You can do
1t, kid" And following the cornieSt movie
script, Cochrane drove in two runs with a
swipe Of his bat to win 80 decision. Cy
Perkins knew at that moment that he was
all done as Connie Macks catcher.
But it wasn't all one-sided. We pan
now to December, 1888 Connie Mack had
a case Of the shorts. He was selling his
stars, those legendary heroes who won
championships in 1929-30-31. He accepted
100000 from the Tigers, plus Catcher John
PaSek, for Cochrane. The Old Man was
feeling financial pinch, and at this point
it might be added that even the Tigers
were hurting, money and otherwise.
Cochranes first official act as man
ager-catcher of the Tigers, who had fin
iShed fifth in 1888, was to hire Cy Perkins
as his No. / coach. He hadn't forgotten.
And they had some happy days and some
tormented days together. The Tigers won
remnants in "a and '35. They were the
good years. But in 81 Cochrane had his
head busted in three places by fast ball
thrown by Bump Hadley of the Yankees
and almost died.
MICKEY HAD EXPERIENCED a nerv-
Gus breakdown shortly before and now his
playing career was over. He hung on, as
dugout manager, until 1898 when Walter
o. Briggs, ST., fired him because the Tigers
were far back. This inspired remark by
Jimmy Powers, to wit: Sentiment is fine,
but only when it's good business"
In fairness to Briggs, he had as much
or more to do with the original hiring of
Cochrane at Detroit as anybody else. Frank
Navin, who was disappointed with Bucky
Harris five-year regime was president Of
the Tigers. He offered the job to Babe
Ruth, who somehow contrived to goof it
up. Navin'S next choice or at least
choice high on the list-was Cochrane.
But Navin was little short, due to
the market crashes, and Mack wanted
100000, which Frank didn't have. Indeed,
he had to borrow $4,000 to conduct spring
training.
He called Briggs, who was to become
boss Of the Tigers later, and asked for the
scratch. tits a lot Of money" Navin said.
Buy him." Briggs replied. eff he's
what we need he's worth it."
And so he was, many times over.

George Case both rushed to
Umont in the eighth when he
called Joe Hicks out at second
on a force. Umont appeared to
give a safe and then an out
sign. He told Vernon that Hicks
didn't reach the bag.

Mickey Knew All Along That He Was Called Out

THE AIRLINER SET DOWN at the
West Palm Beach airport this day early
last March and when the cabin door was
opened there was a wheelchair waiting
beside the ramp. The man who was
assisted into the vehicle was wan and
obviously weary, although he wore smile.

man, sadly. What a catcher he used to
be-"
do you think he knows?" another
asked.
"Iu make book he knows" the other
said. HE doesn't talk about it because he
doesn't want his friends to know that he
knows"
AS 1t turned out it wasn't the last trip
for Mickey Cochrane, not quite. Stricken
with fatal illness, he sat in the sun at
West Palm Beach for period of time and
then went back to the Midwest to die.
The end came yesterday in Lake Forest, Ill.
Cochrane was battling disease nobody
