The assumption was, that Carey, a great base runner himself, and an able coach of this specialty, will develop a collection of Ben Chap- mans. Nothing is further from his mind. “Speed 1s all right but where am I going to get it?” inquired Pro- fessor Carey. “I haven't any means of innoculating some of ithese heavy-footed fellows with ¥sprinting ability. We will try to im~ prove the base running ,as a mat- ter of course. At least we hope to have the boys able ‘to care for themselves when they get on. “My principal idea is to develop a better pitching staff. We have a great bun_h of young pitchers up from the Hartford club. If we can get a couple of starters among Mattingly, Gallivan, Krider and Mungo, we will get help where we need it. “Another factor in our favor is the old law of averages. If you will study the record, you will note that nearly every regular on the club either suffered from bad breaks or a relapse of injuries last year. Lopez, Bissonette, Herman, Fred- erick and Wright, all key men on the team, were far from their best in 1931. Most of them, if not all yshould be much better in‘1932.” Eddie Steers Meehan (Chick Meehan . credits our own Eddie Neil with powers of descrip- tion so forceful that .he (Chick) was forthwith prompted to accept the offer to resume football coach- ¢ powered methods so well that it convinced me it was a great idea,” admitted Chick. “When I left New York univer- HOOP SQUADS sity I had no thought about get- ting another coaching job. Bnt that story started me to thinking other- wise and when Manhattan came along with an offer to do just the thing Eddie described I jumped at it.” Good luck, Chick, say we! Legalized Punishment ‘Whatever else the effects of the 1931 gridiron season, it has served through tragedy to bring out into the open a number of vital statis- tics. One of them involves the defen- sive use of hands. Pop Warner went so far as to charge that some coaches have taught their linemen not only to use their hands as blocking instruments but also to administer punishment. A Unquestionably it is a vital point and the cause of ‘man yinjuries. The “rabbit blow,” used often enough in hard contact, easily may be fatal. Sharper officiating will help curb | unnecessary roughness along the line but the coaches themselves| can and no doubt will take the in- itiative in ridding the game of unsportsmaniike and dangerous practices.

SIMPKINS GET READY FOR HARD BATTLES Juneau Boys and Girls to Meet Douglas Teams | Tomorrow Night | Members of tne boy and girl bas- ketball squads representing the Ju-| neau High School were scheduled to indulge in light practice in the school's gymnasium late this after- noon, preparatory to their games in this city tomorrow evening against teams representing ‘the Douglss High School.
