Each night the sharp, staccato bark of Coach Enoch Bagshaw, who brought the University of Washington through eleven games in the west with only one defeat, is pounding in Muller, all-American end of last year, say fight is like having to beg an Alaska | Washington team under Bagshaw to husky dog to eat.” 5 Muller, ex-California star, says ington this year Washington has the words, “Fight the Navy.” Brick “Telling a University of that although California beat Wash- | the most powerful bunch of play- | ers cver gathered together on one team on the Pacific coast, and that “the only way the Navy will beat Washin, or out-fox them.” The future admirals, the coast fol- lowers of “ foot ball feel, have a strenuous afternoon cut out for them Iwhen they meet the Seattle athletes. There {s more than ordinary senti- ment. back of this game. In 1922 the Navy and Washington crews bat- tled on tMe Hudson, and the Navy Kot their boat to the line a half a iength _ahead of the Seattle sweep- sters. But Washington's showing was 50 impressive that Yale picked off | £d Leader to coach the blue crew. Break Even at Rowin, Rusty Callow, who had rowed under Leader, was chosen to coach Washington, and in his first year, using the famous Washington stroke, he cleaned up the Pacific coast and then, in the memorable 1923 contest at Poughkeepsle, Washington beat the Navy. Now Callow is training his crew not only for the regatta on the Hudson, but for the Olymplic in 1824, and is counting on having the Seattle oarsmen as Americi repre- sentative at this International affair. "This means Callow has figured he can beat the Navy and Eastern crews agaln. shington first became prominent athletically when Gil Doble reigned as foot ball coach and went nine years without a defeat. Only twice in that long period were his teams even tled. So the east picked off Doble, and as the Cornell leader he has made himself feared. Next, Washington began to take prominence in college base ball There have been several fairly suc- cessful invasions of the east and rriddle west. Three teams have toured the orient and shown the sons of the mikado how American oolle- glans play the game. This is Wash- ington’'s third game with elstqrn‘ teams.

In 1921 California humili- ated the Hurkies with a 72-to-3 de- feat. In 1922 the Native Sons re- peated with a 42-to-7 victory.

MAY CHANGE SCORING PLAN FOR OLYMPICS RIS, December 22.—The Olym- pic committee is studying s plan of point scoring which, if finally adopted, will prove a radical departure from the tem used at all the gamesd since thelr miodern revival It would glive ten points to the winner and 5, 4,3, 2, and 1 respectively to the next in order. Tt is understood that a majority of the committee favor the plan which, although not vet officlally announced, ie causing some adverse criticism as being too liberal to the winners and contrary to the spirit of the previous scoring method. i This method gave 6 points to ti cinner, the others in order receivl; 4, 3,2 and 1, and has had the re- cult, ifs supporters claim, of bringing to the fore the best balanced teams. The Olympic committee has asked for bids from the French watchmak- ers for a supply of stop watches cap- able of recording to the one hui dredth of a second. for unofficial use as a_cleck on the Olympic timing of npne-fifth of a second, required under the international regulations.

STAR, WASHINGTON, CHAPTER 12—An Answer to Some Inquiries From Youngsters, BY HANS WAGNER. 'HIS chapter of my experience is intended mostly for young ball players or any other young- sters Wwho would like to improve their game. It is in answer to at least fifty requests for advice as to how a youngster should act and feel when getting his first chance in the big league. The first thing is to fecl sure that you are a good ball player and never let that get out of your mind. Be aggressive always, but be careful not to be a smart { Aleck. A lot of youngsters lose their real chance by thinking they know too much and re- fusing to listen to the old-timers. I never knew a veteran ball g[aycr who would not go out of is way to help a starter if he felt that the youngster really wanted to learn. Even the play- ers on opposing teams will stop to coach a youngster if he isn't too fresh. Once a youngster joins a_club he should be extremely careful to obey all the club rules. He may not think it advisable to go to bed at 10 o'clock or cut out lunch, but he should remember that it is the manager's theory, and it might work out best. Personally I have my own ideas about training, but so have others. I don't think I ever went to spring training when I wasn’t in as good condition when I started as when I finished. To tell the truth, spring training al- ways was a sort of lark to me. You see; T hunted and fished all winter, played basket ball, indoor base ball—in fact, anything to keep busy. That strenuous sort of work had me in fine shape when T reported. I always ate what T wanted and when I want- ed. I even drank beer in the old days. I don’t say that would be good routine for other young- sters, but it didn’t hurt me. Whenever there is a practice a youngster should hurry to get to it. He should practice all the time. If the team is not playing he can go out and work with the ground keepers. . This young fellow, Pie Traynor of the Pittsburgh club, is sure to be one of the greatest ball play- ers in the world. He can’t miss because he simply thinks and lives base ball. Often I have passed the park and seen him working out there in the morning with a single companion. One day I saw_him all alone in the rain throwing a ball against the grandstand and fielding it as it bounced back. > Like Any Other Business. “Gee,” he said one day, “I won- der when they are going to play another double-header!” Most ball players look on a double-header with dread —a double day’s work for no more money. That boy Traynor would play three if they could crowd in the time some way. In a way base ball is just like any other business or profession.

This is Jobn McGraw, famous manager of the Giants, who always has strenuously objected, Wagner says to his old nickname. —_— e that he wants to work out the fine points is bound to succeed Even in the winter Traynor keeps in periect condition and weighs himself every other day to see if he is gaining’or losing. A manager usually takes a fancy to a boy who is eager and willing to do anything he is told, even if it is an experiment. But the boy must show that he does it willingly, with the proper spirit. You can't drive a ball player into making good. It's a hundred to one that the manager knows your capabilities better than vou do yourseli. You may think you.are a great outfielder when he will suddeniy turn you into a shortstop or even a catcher. He has observed some- thing about vou that you never knew. So always do as your manager says aud don't try to figure out where he's crazy. Don't be iresh to umpires. Those fellows ‘can do a lot of things. for you if they think you are really ambitious.

If a fan should ask you a question, answer him in a re- spectful and sincere manner. At the same time don't let visiting players or anybody else walk on you. While a youngster should not be fresh, he must be ready to uphold his rights. Once he shows the white® feather he is gone. Once on the field a young play- er should remember never to see or hear the spectators.

In fact, it was for a long time his fight- ing point. But McMillan wanted to show Ecp. so when he crossed the field e yelled to the Giant bench, call- ing McGraw “Muggsy.” He did this several times. Then McGraw got aboard him. What a tongue lashing that little fellow got! McMillan went to Manager Donovan and inquired the rea- son. “McGraw is a man well along in years,” Patsy told him, “and that word always offended him. Coming from a fresh youngster it's all the worse. You'll never get anywhere doing that. Now, I want you to go right to Mc- Graw’s office in the clubhouse tomorrow and apologize, explain- ing that you didn’t understand.” The next day young McMillan, like bearding the lion in his den, went straight to McGraw and apologized in the most manly manner. The way he did it so impressed the nt manager that he was from then on one of McMillan's best iriends and ad- visers. He used to spend time with McMillan, showing him tricks about hitting and fielding. As I have said before, a young- ster . should make a point of watching some great player closely, and then try to copy his method, whether it be in fielding, batting or base running. Ii he can't quite get the hang of it ask the player in question and he will always help. If you have a weakness be frank enough to tell the older players about it. With their help you can overcome it. Work on Your Weaknesses. I used to have a fault of throw- ing too hard and often too high to first. T talked with Hughey Jennings, George Smith and others. They helped me won- derfully. Alwags work on your weak- nesses.” The strong points will take care of themselves. The chances are that you will not set the world afire at the start, but don’t blame it on the umpires. Watch everything that goes on about the field. In the most unexpected place you will pick up some little point that will be of help to'you the rest of your life. Freshness in some youngsters is funny. In others it gets on everybody’s nerves. Not many of you can be funny. That's a sort of gift. 1 remember one young fellow who went to bat with Bill Klem umpiring. He called two strikes on the youngster. The boy turned around and started a big kick. < “Remember, son,” Klem told him, Y “these plates in the big ! league have cormers on them.” A few minutes later he called another, and the boy was out. “They may have corners,” he said to Kiem, as he started back to the ‘bench, “but I'll be dog- goned if this ain’t the first one T ever saw with a bay window in it | | | Tomorrow: How the Umpire Looks to a Player.
