Johnson, Getting Well, Raps Lively Ball : British Boxer Sees Need of Yank Wallop BAN THINKS NIGHT GAME WONT LAST Credits Phil Ball’s Timely Help With Saving Life. Abed 13 Weeks. T. LOUIS, December 26 (P).— | Ban Johnson, former presi- dent of the American League, apparently has won another victory—this time against Old Man Disease. | After 13 weeks in bed, the for- mer czar of base ball was consid- ered “out of the woods” in his fight against diabetes, which ag-| gravated a foot infection and threatened for a time to result in| the loss of one leg. | Strong of voice and still vitally in- terested in base ball, Johnson was host to several friends yesterday in a hos- pital here, where he is convalescing. “I owe my life to Phil Ball,” said Johnson to the group, which included Ball, head of the 8t. Louis Browns. “He stepped in and took charge of my case and refused to permit amputation of my leg. At one time I myself felt that| only a miracle could pull me through. | But the miracle happened.” Too Much Rubber. Johnson then unloosed some of his pinions on present-day base ball prob- fm. among them the lively ball and night base ball. He said he had writ- ten George Reach, manufacturer of the Official base ball, that unless the amount of rubber in present-day base ball was Teduced, the game, in Johnson’s opin- fon, would be seriously impaired. “I have satisfled myself by examina- tion of the base balls in use,” he re- lated, “that the amount of rubber in them has been greatly increased from that found necessary in other days when scores were low, home runs were fewer and there was some skill and strategy required to win a base ball itest.” con Unless the rubber is reduced, he said, the ball “will continue to result in meaningless home runs and hurt both infleld and outfield play.” believed the reaction from the long- hitting craze will result soon. Night Game Will Pass. “Night base ball has created a curi- osity interest for the time, especially among women; but, in my opinion, it 1s not an interest that is of an edu- cational or permanent nature,” he said. “Night base ball is not natural. It can- not be permanent. It will never take hold of the major leagues, and I do not believe it will long continue as a life- saver for the minor leagues.” Golf, he said, was one cause of the 1liness in the lower class minor league circles. Rich men, who formerly were “angels” to the minor leagues, have dropped base ball for golf and country clubs, he said. COLLINS TRAPS VICTOR Takes Prizes in Two Events of Beltsville Club Shoot.

ONDON, December 26.— When Oapt. Malcolm Campbell blurrs | allow escape of air. down Daytona Beach in Jan- | ,nimum in this design, Campbell said. uary he will be driving the most powerful racing car in his hazardous experience. ‘The new “Blue Bird” is much lower | than the car in which he flashed 214 miles an hour over the same sands in 1928. When he is seated at the wheel, the top of Capt. Campbells head is less| | than 45 inches from the ground. The car has a clearance of only 31 inches. It is powered by a 12-cylinder super- charged Napler motor developing 1,450 horsepower, at 3,600 r.p.m., while in 1928 the engine had only 920 horse- power. The bore of the motor is 139.7 and the stroke 130.17. The engine itself weighs 1,114 pounds and thus develops one horsepower for every three-quarters of a pound. ‘The wheelbase is 12 feet 6 inches and the length of the car over all is 25 feet 6 inches. The car is fitted with a constant mesh type of gear box, giving three forward speeds and a reverse. ‘The tires are specially made, with a very thin rubber tread and 14-ply canvas. They have been tested up to 300 miles an hour. The wheels, fitted in discs, are 38 inches in diameter. The whole car weighs 2!2 tons. ‘The body will be of 0.16 gauge aluminum, with a heavy steel frame. The car will be a vivid blue, as was the other. From the side it will look not unlike a glant arrow. At the back it has a I BASKET BALL TIPS I BY SOL METZGER. ‘The underhand shot is used al- most exclusively for foul goal shooting during a basket ball game and rarely from the floor during play. The reason for this is that a shot starting from so low a point is too easily blocked by an oncom- ing opponent because it takes more time to_execute. Like the chest shot, it is mostly a wrist affair, the hands being bal- anced on opposite sides of the ball, UNDERMAND SNOT Jnal Tl wan with finger and thumb tips grip- ping the ball.

But you must remember that as the speed increases ' so does the resistance.” The speed record now is 231 miles an hour, established by the late Sir Henry Segrave.

Best Is Needed. EW HAVEN, Conn., December 26. —The suggestion that Yale re- move the professional foot ball | coach from control of its eleven | fessional coach in charge, as advocated | by several Yale alumni, including Dr. | George H. Ryder, '94, has been called “an ideal with which many are in sym- pathy,” but one which is practically im- possible of actualization. Another Yale | graduate, of the older school, John H. | Field, of the class of '93, of Rutland, Vt., i the author of the letter which is featured in the Yale Alumni Waeklyl on Dr. Ryder's sug- gestion Fleld nlg “With that ideal many are in sym. pathy, but how can it be done? Times | have changed since our day, and with a much larger student body there are much larger athletic squads. For ex- ample, how can the captain of the foot | ball team take the chief coaching re- | sponsibilities for a squad of 125 or more, even with volunteer and naturally | undependable graduate help, and have | any time left for class room and study. Scrubs Scarce in Past. “In Dr. Ryder's day and mine the varsity foot ball squad was hardly more than enough for two elevens. Some- times it was necessary to do a little urging to get a full scrub team to give the varsity its daily practice scrimmage. When a Yale team meets the com- petition of expertly coached teams of other colleges it is characteristic of the American spirit as well as of the Yale spirit to be ambitious to do as well as the rest do and a little better. It seems to me that the momentum of professionally coached athletics is too strong to set herself alone against it, at least at present. The first step might well be, with the co-operation of our competitors, relegating the coaches to the highest seats in the grandstands during the contests; also, in foot ball, reducing the number of intercollegiate games; but the under- graduates, and particularly the players, should be consulted about shortening the schedule. Surely the undergras uates should have something to about the number of games they them: selves wish to play. Coaches Painted Black. “A professional coach, at least in foot ball, is in the minds of many painted blacker than he really is. After all he is a college graduate who played as an amateur on his college team and is now capitalizing his amateur foot ball, just as a college professor is doing with his knowledge. The only difference is that the coach is teaching a sport while the professor is teaching a study. But granted that professional coaching is at least temporarily a necessary evil, why not give the foot ball players the best coaching obtainable, with due regard to wholesome influences? Yale has done it in rowing, and who among the alumni would vote to throw the leader over- board?” But Field wants the Yale foot ball team to have the best coaching avail- able in order that the players them- selves may not strive in vain. He will charge that colleges, unwittingly per- haps, are exploiting their athletes, especially their foot ball teams, in order to pay for many necessary athletic and other facilities, including the cost of construction and operation of the sta- dium, tennis courts, golf courses and what not. “T suspect,” his letter says, “a shrewd thought is also given as to what visit- ing teams will produce the biggest gate. Overemphasis on foot ball to my way of thinking comes not from the under- graduate body, but from the higher-ups. mfh ‘t;usl.neu has something to do wi .

Graduates as Critics. “What, are some of our old grads turning collegiate?” he asks. Do they forget that Yale led in bringing foot ball where it is and is now leading in placing it where it should be? Men with such impressive names as ‘Anon,’ in the sports sections and then sit in a crowded stadium a few times a year don’t really know what foot ball is all about. Let them go up and watch a Yale practice some afternoon and see how Mal Stevens leads his men, not as a stern and groughy mentor, but al- most as one of the players. That's what foot ball should be and will be in 20 years when people realize that these publicized coaches are no better than their material. SHORE PLAYS SELIGSON D. C. Junior Net Champ and N. Y. U.

ASADENA, Calif., December 26.— After an afternoon and night of rest, the Rose Tournament's foot ball teams, Washington State and Alabama, prepared today for further physical and mental training. The two teams will meet on the grid- iron New Year day—Alabama, pride of the South, and Washington State, Pa- cific Coast champions.

He said he felt the team was coming along rapidly and needed only a few more hard sessions. Next week, he said, he will start tapering down on the rigid training. The fact Alabama ‘outweiris - the Washington Cougars bothers Holling- berry not at all. 2 “We were outweighed ‘many pounds per man in almost every game this sea- son, but it did not affect the outcome o(in single one of the contests,” he said.

AIR BATTLE LIKELY Both All-Star Teams Are Loaded With Gridironers Adept in Handling Oval. By the Assoclated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, December 26— With seasoned passers and receivers lining up with both the East and West, fans look forward to brilliant serial attacks in the annual charity foot ball game tomorrow. A half dozen backs with either squad can throw the pi 5 er of Northwestern and Hart of Colgate for the East and Kitzmiller of Oregon and Bausch of Kansas are aces in this de- partment. On the catching end the East has such sure-fingered men as PFrank Baker, Northwestern, Gantenbein, Wisconsin; Bates, Western Maryland; ‘Wheeler, Michigan; Brockmeyer, Mjnne- sota, and Bruder. Against these are the Western experts—Long, Texas; Mc- Kalip, Oregon State; Ebding and Doyle, St. Mary’s; Mills, Oklahoma, and Clark, Stanford. With these forces to draw from neither team will be light of high- powered aerial material at any stage of the game. While coaches have not indicated how much they rely on their passers and receivers, lovers of an open game are looking for frequent resorts to the air for yardage.
