SP ORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, ) MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, -1929. " mm ON THE SIDE LINES With the Sports Editor SPRING FOOT BALL 1 ATG.U.NOT LigHT Candidates for Eleven to Drill as They Usually Do in Autumn. BY_H. C. BYRD. o EORGETOWN plans to begin its By Spring foot ball practice next eek.® Head Coath Lou Little B is tb issue a call to all candi- dates - for next Fall's eleven, with the possible exception of two or three who may'be members of other * varsity squads, to report next Monday «:for their first taste of Spring training. ‘The practice will be continued until the « Weather gets too warm for the kind of workouts Little expects to have. .. Little will not take charge of the squad for a week or so after it reports. He has told John DaGrossa, line coach, that the line and end candidates will -~ be placed under his care for a short a+period and all the backs are to be ~ given over to backfield coaches McCabe +- and Murray. Little’s assistants of last »- Fall plan to give their proteges a good *" deal of conditioning work, aiming to get o them in shape for the rough practice , that is-certain as soon as Little takes " charge. For be it known that Lou Little is one coach who believes in giving his »-men the same kind of practice in the +- Spring they get in the Fall. It is .- Little’s opinion that foot ball practice in the Spring unless it employs all the rough, hatd drill of the Autumn work- . outs is worse than useless. And eaci . Spring the Blue and Gray players get .down the real business. None of the other colleges in this section has made any announcement of Spring practice, but several are like- ly-to have their squads out as soon as v' the ground gets in shape. Foot ball 44 practice is exceedingly difficult as long ¥i.as the ground freezes at night and ‘A thaws during the day. And just as dif- _' Jficult when it stays frozen throughout ""the day. Many of the colleges in tho far South are having their workouts ,now and will continue them until late “"in March and possibly until April. Sev- o= €ral of them run from the middle of January to the middle of March. Dugquesne University comes here to- day for two basket ball games. Tonight it ‘meets American University and to- morrow faces Cgtholic U. Not much 1s known of the s rength of the visitors. eorgetown’s foot ball squad will be followed within a few days by its dia- mond candidates. It was said this morn- \ing on the Hilltop that some of the batterymen would ~be got out next ' week, Poss(bly the latter part of this week, for indoor tossings No decision has yet been reached as to who is to coach the nine, but it is said that one _of the men now on the staff of coaches will be used in_that capacity and that no special coach will be brought in.

North C:u-olun gave Princeton a real bettle Saturday in basket ball, losing eut by one point in an overtime contest. The Tarheels were I with only seconds to ‘play, and just befm thz whistle blew ending the gam .was shot by Princeton which tl.ed the ‘count and forced the extra period. For a team that was regarded at|Spring Chapel Hill as mediocre, and which while here seemed the weakest five that yCarolina had had in years, the Tar- heels have not done anything disgrace- ful on their trip. They won from Vir- ginia and Maryland and came within about five seconds of time of beating Princeton and then finally lost only by ‘one point. Georgetown athietes will be seen in action Lon'ght in the Manhattan Col- :lege games in New York and tomorrow night in the Meadowbrook A. A. games in Philadeiphia. Maryland also will have representatives in the Meadow- brook affair. Jam Kennedy, freshman middle dis- tance runner, who has shown promise, and Eddie Hoctor, veteran quarter miler,} will perform in the Manhattan games, the former in the Jaspar three-quar- Jters-of-a-mile event and the latter in ‘® special 500-yard test. Georgetown’s freshmen medley relay team will appear in its first competition of the year tonight. Jack Mara, who finished third in a 1,000-yard run at the Millrose games Saturday, will run 830 yards as anchor man and others on the team will be Artie Briggs, Jimmy | Carlin and Jimmy Kelly. In the Meadowbrook games the Georgetown varsity 2-mile team, com- prising John Carney. Jay Julicher, Larry Milstead and Jerry Gorman, will make its debut running in the order named. Leo Sexton and Dave Adelman will uphold the Blue and Gray in individual events in the Meadowbrook affair. . Sex- ton, high jumper, who won the Milirose event last season at 6 feet 4 inches, is again entered in the high jump and also in the shotput. Ade'man, intercollegiate 12-pound shotput titleholder, will com- pete for the first time this season. Karl Wildermuth and Morris Lerner, freshmen, formerly of Vineland, N.

The final count was 31 to 30. The victory places the Servicemen in the front rank of local unlimited title contend€rs. La- fesky and Kramer led their respective teams in scoring. Maroons Present Great Defense STANDARD DEFENSE: ONE EVE ON BALL OTHER OM OPPONENT i { i BY SOL METZGER. Last season many & conference | coach told me that he'd rather try to penetrate any defense than Chi- cago’s. Coach Norgren's Maroons obtained their high ranking in con- - ference circles because of their mag- nificent defense. In basket ‘ball stress is laid on attack, as in every sportA ‘Thus, when a coach is B d in.developing attack by in- enced players lack of speed nnd skilled basket getters one of the best things he can do is to stress defense. I look for Chicago to do so this Winter, because the squad possesses just one veteran—Gist. Every sport tutor has his own ideas. but you can expect Norgren to do this unless his new stuff is above par. In basket ball circles the standard stunt in playing individual defense is for a man guarding his opponent ! to keep not only between him and | the to keep one eye on the opponent and the other on the basket. The Chicago system differs in this latter respect. If you see Chicago play, watch its men on defense hug their man with eyes glued upon him. They stare him right in the face and glue them- selves to him. They hang to him through thick and thin, and by rea- son of this tenacify of purpose they worry their o;:ponents more than any other conference aggregation. (%nuht. 1929.)

That part of them which deals with bases on balls discloses .that Hadley was one of the four “wild men” of the league—a designation given thos2 of the hurlers guilty of . issuing 100 or more free tickets in the course cf the campaign—and that Irving's particular trouble was unsteadiness. Further perusal of the statistical data offers corroborative testimohy that control is the greatest single asset for success in a pitcher, for it is more than a coincidence that the moundsmen stingiest in the mat- ter of putting aliens on the runway via, the pass route ranked with those uratumi the peak in games won and lost. Take the case of Edwin Americus Rommel of the Athletics, for in- stance. His feat of 26 bases on balls in the course of the campaign won for him the minimum distinction among boxmen whose op- ponents at bat numbered “l more, and he wound up with the creditable mark of 14 wins as against but five reverses. Ancient John Picus Quinn, teammate, who was next in line wm: o mere 34 free tickets charged against him, turned in 18 vlcwrles. offset by only seven defeats, and Herb Pen- nock of the Yanks, third on the list of low-number gratuities with 40, achieved the very useful mark of 17 triumphs compared with seven. set- acks, Only one of the “wild men”— George Pipgras of the Yankees, who won 24 games and lost 13, made a first-class showing in that respect, and it may well be doubted that this would have been the case had he " performed with a less eflective bunch of sluggers backing him up.

The athletes are put through a course of sprouts covering from six weeks to two months to loosen ‘muscles and sharpen batting orbs, and frequently that period is adjudged insuffi- cient on the basis of results achieved early in the regular season. Umpires are no more immune from picking up weight or hav- ing their vision dimmed by idleriess than the athletes— probably less so, through their greater average age—and yet they are permitted either to make training for their exact- ing tasks optional, as' in the case of the American League, or are barred from the most ef- fective means of getting fit— actually officiating in Spring nractice games—as in the Na- tional League. In prohibiting any arbiter on his taff from attaching himself to a National League camp during the Soring exhibition season, President Heydler is said to have been influ- enced by the fear that friendships formed with the players during the sojourn in the South might preclude | unbiased rulings when the champion- under ship schedule got way. This would seem to brand as er- roneous the widespread impression that “um; have no_friends,” and as H 3 know, having once been one of them, the consid- eration_ attributed to. his ban must be set down as ncorrect. But regardless of the ‘motive back of the Heydler ukase, the fact re- mains that all National League um- A T Nal e camps, a ile h’&fl Barnard of merican League has issned no mh ruling, not more than three of the dozen on his staff have been engaged thus far. ‘These are Red Ormsby, ‘rovel with the Yankees: Bill Me- Gowan, who has been enlisted to_call ‘em for the Indlans, and Roy Van Graflan, who will be on_hand to of- ficlate in the 28 Grape Fruit League contests arranged for the Nationals. What the 13 other clubs will do for officials to boss their ezhibitions remains to be seen, and what the re- maining score or so of arbiters will do to obtain needed training also.is conjectural, but it looks as if a good physical balance between the guess- ers and the guessed-at will not be assured until the big leagues adont the plan of exchanging siafs for thz Spring exhibitions. —_— 'SOCCERISTS IN FIGHT; PLAYER BREAKS LEG Officials today said that the Arclflil Rockville soccer game yesterday, broke up in a em-man fight, mh bly wfll be replayed, as Rockville un- doubtedly erred in using & substitute.
