Kawai, for several years a lead- ing athlete in preparatory schools on the Pacific coast, has enrolled in the University of Missouri School of Journalism and this fall is an out- ‘standing member m of the freshman football squad. He also was a guard of the’ school’s basketball team. Kawai, in the Pasadena Junior College football team last year, was a tower of strength and a great ground gainer. He was a member. of the team which trav- eled to Honolulu to win- the Pacific coast champion- ship. in the junior college division. He also was a leader in student tivities and was an editor of the col- lege annual and of the school’s week- ly paper.

FARRELL (NEA. Service Sports Writer) Because there is such good recent precedent to counteract the im- plausibility of such a happening, a tip is herewith offered that a new manager may direct the St. Louis Cardinals in 1929, fter the final game of the world series in which his team was sadly shellacked by the New York Yan- kees, Sam Breadon, owner of the Cai was asked by the writer: re there going to be any changes on your club next, year?” “Yes, sir,” he answered emphatic- “And some big ones.” low about Bill McKechnie?” “Why shouldn’t we keep him as manager?” wae made surprising changes doesn’t have to go every year, does it?” M eine puted ret ith lanagers have been going wit! it regularity into the St. job and right out of it since 1926. It was Rogers Hornsby, who ae the Cards their firat pennant in ages, who went as-the first vic- tim of a move “for the best inter- ests of the team.” Bob O'Farrell moved in and lasted only one season, although he missed the pennant by only a game and a half. Bill McKechnie then got the job and won the pennant after a terrific battle with the Giants. And now, not particularly from any inference that Breadon gave in his short talk, but from information from another good source it is un- di od that McKechnie’s one-year contract will not be renewed. The Cardinals’ haye proceeded so far in their plans for a reorganization that they are figuring on either Billy Southworth or Frank Snyder, two former Giants and Cardinals, for the successor to McKechnie. Snyder and Southworth are now important department heads of :the extensive St. Louis farm Snyder managed the Hou: which beat Wichita Falls in their play-off for the pennant and then defeated Birmingham in the Dixie Little World series.

And this may have been a highly significant slip. “The manager of the Cardinals is ibsolutely responsible for the re- sults on the field,” he said. “He chooses his pitchers and his lineup, and he orders his own plays. It 4 not true that we interfere.’ National League men—and some very i it. ones — were highly critical Bf McKechnie.

When the whistle blew, the man holding the ball picked it w ran to a point near the sidelines, where he knelt and ‘held it in position, A Nebraska player then kicked it down the sideline. Tt seemed apparent that they did not want Gibby Welch, Pitt’s star halfback, to receive the ball. The ball sailed down the field and the t Nebraska team rushed diagonally oping to pocket the receiver corner of the field. It was an excellent egy, but a mischevious puff of wind apoiled the plan and the ball was” carried ‘off its course and drop) into Welch's arms.

In other words, if the defensive team can be led to believe that a punt will be attempted and instead & forward pass or end run is used to gain ground, the threat is val- uable as an offensive weapon.
