SPORTS: S ALL-HIGH SCHOOL ELEVEN HAS WEIGHT AND POWER Mythical Squad, Averaging About 167 Pounds, Would Be Well Balanced Aggregation With Unusual Strength in Attack. BY JOHN B. KELLER. THER high school foot ball seasons in Washington have been blessed with better teams, but none has produced more good players than the campaign that closed last week. The fight for the championship this year was characterized by individual rather than team play and each of the five elevens in the titular struggle had two or more boys worthy of ccnsideration for berths on the mythical all-high school squad. For the first eleven, three positions have been awarded to members of the champior Central team, a like number to Eastern) boys. two to Tech players and one to a Westerner.

It produced a far more rounded-out attack’through the combina- forward pass and the run from kick before. Shift plays in some former seasons have worked havoc with ‘a de- \fense. The writer lras seen the forward pass higl an extremely uncomfortable position. ! threat irom kick formation puzziing more than one team in the past, but ynever before has he seen these ail combined as they have been this year. the defense i hly. developed, putting He has seen the There have been shifts of all kinds, line shifts, backfield shiits, whirls and turns, and even what, at times, looked like a “march around” by line men. The forward pass has been 'far more delicately timed than in the past and used with a methodical pre- cision. It has been “screened,” and by that is meant the charging down the field of line men, the law so far as running into the defengive backs is concerned, still cause a considerable “flustration” in | attempts to get to the receiver or to the pass. : Protect Forward Passer. . Another development has been the protection given the forward passer. enabling him to delay his pass until his men get down the field. Also the receiver of the pass as acquired much more dexterity, The crowd was intent on the slip- | showing ability to turn and ‘take the ball on the "run, -interposing his shoulder and body at the same time | to the defensive back. The run from kick formation has been built into the shift plays so as to cause more hesitation by the op- posing line men and ends, ‘who are left in doubt as to where the play is to strike and whether it is to be a run, a kick or a forward pass. The quick kick from close behind the line of scrimmage has been reintro- duced, -deterring the far-back de- fensive man from stealing up and making himself an extra defense man to long forward passes. Ability to make long passes has been greatly increased. Several men in the game can hurl the pigskin more than half the length of. the field. Deceptions and false motions, con- cealed’ ball plays and other tricks have appeared. All this on the at- tacking side. Defense Taxed to Limit. The defense naturally has been forced to extraordinary anxiety and has shown improvement alst It has improved very largely ag: it the forward pass, but has not cu!‘lt ’ eligible and, ineligible, who, while conforming to * in | {up with it. If it had not improved | there would have been more scoring. | The defense has learned that the for- | ward passer must be hurried more | and more and that the backfield men must be of extremely quick pereep- ition and active enough to cover a large radius and bat down the ball. Some teams have drawn more men out of the line into the back field to guard against forward passes, while others have depended on hur- |rying the passer. The latter method | has -been more successful. If the passer can be so hurried that none of his_men can get. far down the field, then the possible danger zone confined to the 10 or 12 yard passes, imore readily defended sgainst. The rrather short, flat ‘pass across the end 101’ the line toward the outside has been a terrible boomerang to some teams. Itg probable gain is only 7 or | 8 yards successfal, and if inter- jcepted it may mean a touchdown for the opposing team. The lesson has been pretty well learned, and any team making these pagses now in another year will either send the passer out wider or protect itself against disastrous re- sult in some other way. Notre ‘Dame carried the forward passing game to a high degree of per- fection, based on_ very clever and sclentific timing. . California had one of the longest distance passers in the country in Muller, but almost cvery team had a fairly well developed at- tack on the aerial side. It was & great pity that the Penn State-Pittsburgh game was played, as last year, in a sea of mud. The game promised to be one of the best of the year.

INPROVED PITCHNG MAY BEVNE BN Sacrifice Hit Should Regain Popularity With Hurling More Effective. BY JOHN B. FOSTE Base ball men are whether the bunt is passing from base ball or whether the sacrifice hit will not be as popular as ever next season In event the pitching im- proves. Four years ago the manager of the Giants said there were not five good bunters in base ball. He had been asked why his players did not bunt wondering when there were runners on base “They can't,” he replied. “A man- ager is a sucler who expects to get runs by sacrificing when he has a bunch of players who handle a bat like a potato masher, only not so well.” Bunting was rarer than ever during the seaszon recently closed, because the occasions were fewer when manager felt justified in playing for one run only, and few good bunters were developed, although Babe Ruth may claim that he is one after his performa in the second game of the world es. But the Babe's bunt ing usually is like that of the great Ed Delehanty. When Delehanty Bunted. The managers in Delehanty's day Wwho did not have bunt hitters wer: being beaten by who did and finally Harry Wright used his in fluence to have the batter exempted from a time at bat if he was put out after a bunt provided he advanced a runnmer. He thought he e Delehanty to bunt if he did that. So he asked Delehantysto hunt one aft ernoon, asked in that wistful plead ing way of hix, and the big out fielder, who was very fond of his manager. replied “Dad. vou know 1 wou't dare back to Naint Clair street in Cle land if 1 bunt. but I'il do it this one to_help you.” Runners werc on first and sccond Ed walked to the plate, made one awful fizzle in trying to buni. and on the next ball pitched. he hit over the fence. He ran home beaming shouting to the bench: “I told you I wouid, dad. T told you I would, but where do you sup | pose she would a gone if 1 had hit.” How Griff Viewed It As showing the futility of bunting !last season, Clark Griffith said w1 one time in the season: “Eitl ar rel is full of pork and to { match it with another bar your | pitchers are hit so hurd sn't worth while overworkin tam.’ The sacrifice habit was t when pitchers used to keep i down to threc and four a game. and there were some pitchers who slipped in their_ little shutout games cvery 4now and then with more alalrming frequency than they do at present. A ball player who couldn’t bunt was likely to be put down as a member of the order of blanketyboob. Bail players were even fined because they could not bunt. Some managers, of whom Griflith was one and Connie Mack another played the bunt as regular] they paid their bread bill at the end ached first kid on 1 next bat the week. If a runner r with no one out every bleachers knew that the up was going to tap the all a lily white blow to the infield. Eut Wher the pitching is poor, as it was durin: the season of 1921, the hit and 11 play is a better play than the d liberate sacrifice.

This year California’s team is practically as good as last year's and that means very, very good. In the early part of the game with southern California the score stood even at 7—7, but Brick Muller, California’s star end, was not in the play at that time owing to a leg injury. Muller has remarkable ability for throwing the forward pass. A¢ this critical stage Andy Smith, the coach, sent Muller into the game, crippled as he was. After a play or two to mask the deception, Brick threw a long forward pass to southern California’s 20-yard line from back of mid-feld, and Erb. his quarter, was there to receive it. That play led to another score and assured victory for California. Then Muller was taken out, and saved for later games. So much for him. Otheres Are Tophotchers.
