A.— PRINCETON GUARD JUMPS INTO LEAD IN SCOR- ING IN INTERCOLLEGIATE CIRCUIT — ATLAS FIVE PLAYS RINGS AROUND NEW BRITAIN QUINTET AT STATE ARMORY — GREB BATTLES SHADE PRINCETON GUARD LEADS IN SCORING Arthur Loeb Is One Point Abead of Sam Strom New York, Jan, 22.-—Arthur Loeh, foul Princeton's right guard ‘and shooter, leads the individual scorers of the Intercollegiate basketball Jeague by 1 point. Sam Strom, Co- Jumbia’s most prominent forward, who 1ast week was 6 points ahead of Lo h. now stands @ single point behind Bl Zahn's leading candidate for high scoring honors, Joe Deering, the Columbia coach in the Dartmouth game on Saturday pight at Hanover, N, H, gave Cort Wilson the foul shooting assignmont, and Strom, in spite of his four field goals, could not keep up his pace Poth Loeb and Strom have a one- game advantage over Tommy Culler of Dartmouth and Jimmy Luther of Cornell, and a two-gamo advantage over S8am Pite of Yale, who threatens to pass Van Slyck, old Eli's last out- standing individual player, Van Slyck, a product of the New York Colleglate school, was the highest individual scorer during the 1017-18 season. Loeb has the largest score from the foul line with 29 points. Luther and Cullen have turned in 24 foul goals and Strom is credited with 20 fou! points, Strom leads the field with goals from scrimmage, making ten baskets and Me! Dickenson of Prince- ton follows him with cight baskets, A Week of Upsets, Last week was a weel of surprises in the team play. Yale, which for the last two years has played the role of the under dog in a tournament, in its first league game on Friday night defeated Cornell by a score of 30 to 27 Joe Fogarty and Billy Kincaid, lately of Pennsylvania, have taken Captain Conklin and Baither from last year's team, Suisman from the 1925 fresh- men team and brought Pite and Git- itz out of retirement and moulded them in a five which might succeed to Princeton's title, “the miracle team.” The system, employed a year ago by Bernie Trommers and Orson Kin- ney at Yale, did not produce satis- factory results. Some blamed the ma- terial for the team looked awkward and clumsy. But Fogarty has taken much the same material and turned out a team now rated with the best in the league. Basketball followers will watch the Pennsylvania team closely in its fu- ture games. Fogarty was frequently called “the man behind the Penn teams.” It is thought by some that only politics around West Philadel- phia had kept him out of head coach- ing position. The Red and Blue has a chance to prove the weight of that persistent rumor. Penn Needs Foul Shooter. Princeton easily defeated Penn on Saturday night in the Weightman hall gymnasium at Philadelphia. Gold- blatt, who had been considered an- other Danny McNichol, only made four foul goals on 13 attempts. The Quakers will hardly figure in the race unless Eddie McNichol develops a de- pendable foul shooter. The Yale victory and the Pennsyl- vania showing were not the only sur- prises of the week. Columbia, wnhl two defeats, won from Dartmouth, “the best Dartmouth team in year,” in an easy fashion. The Dartmouth offense could do little with Bob Pul- loyn and Cort Wilson, trailing the ball like hawks. Strom, Pulleyn and Wilson gach scored four field goals. Princeton is in a dominating: posi- tion, but the rejuvenation of Yale and Columbia, the possibilities of Dart- mouth, Cornell and Pennsylvania give promise of the best competition in years.

Gardner Direct Baseball Team. to Burlington, Vt., Jan. 22.—Ray Col- lins and Larry Gardner were elected baseball coaches at the University af Vermont for the season of 1923, as the result of action taken by the Uni- versily of Vermnont Athletic council, it was announced yesterday. Both Col- lins and Gardner are graduates of Vermont in the class of 1909. Gard- ner joined the Boston Red Sox the summer following his junior year at Vermont, Collins going with the same team a year later. During the coming season, Gardner will serve only as an advisory coach contraet with the Cleveland Indians when the Vermont position was offered him. He intends to be at Vermont for a short time before leaving for the south, to 1id in early cage practice. It is probable that from time to time, when his team is in the East, Gardner will come to F son to assis Sox pitcher, however, will be virtually in charge of Vermont's baseball team this year.

It was ae- copted by managers and magnates that the physical strain attached to the job was entirely too great to make it a one-man posttion, Por the seven regular positions, however, there has been no und study, Inflelders and outfielders have been expected to patrol their beat throughout the season, barring injury, since long before the introduction of the foul strike rule, It was a case of work today and rest tomorrow and the cateher who handled from 75 to 90 games had considered that he earned his season's salary, In the days of not so long ago, about 15 years back, there were the catching staffs of prominence. Tiey came in pairs as is shown by the combinations of Schreck and Powers with the Athletics, Bresnahan and Lowerman with the Giants, Kling and Archer with the Cubs, Moran and Needham with Boston, Schiel and Street with Cincinnati, Bergen and Ritter with Brooklyn, Kleinow and McGuire with the New York Yankees, Sullivan and McFarland with the Chi- cago White Sox, Clarge and Bemis with Cleveland, Sugden and Spencer with the St. Louis Browns, Dooin and Roth with the Phillies, and so on lown the line. : Comiskey Risked and Won. It isn't beef and brawn that win games and pennants. Along came the boom of this catching Lilliputian in the summer of 1921, His arms of iron mowing down base runners attracted he attention of the major lecaguers. T'hey gazed at him and all but one moved hurriedly out of Milwaukee. “That kid hold a big league pitcher, much less stop a base-runner?” was the remark of all big league owners with the exception of Charles A, Comiskey. Well, anyway, Schalk ar- rived in the American league. He caught in 23 games and immediately became the successor to that master —Billy Sullivan. In his first year as a regular he was behind the plate in 128 games L then started a career that not only has been in the century class of games annually, but a record—151 games cuught in 1920, No major league catcher ever be- fore had reached that mark. And, with the development of Schalk came the passing of the two- man catching staff. The catehing staff today has the regular and one or two kids who sit around, get em- ployment in the bullpen, during the batting practise and catch seldom more than a dozen games. Schalg, quiet and unassuming, recently was requested to, come out of his shell and deliver a few words about himself. He answered with the following, written with his own pen: “I have been asked to write a few lines about the ‘iron man’' behind the mask. The ‘iron man’ subject is never looked upon in such a light by me. Never in my mind have I had one thought of going out and breaking any catching games record a season until the fall of 1920, along about the time the scandal on our bhall club broke out. Passes Gibson's Record. “I figured that I had to catch all | the remaining games of the season to break the record held by George Gib- son of 150 games out of 154, so by the good graces of the Lord I have ane record which is as dear to me as Everett Scott's, of the New York Yankees. It is 151 out of 154 for a season.” “In all probability it will be broken and the catcher who catches every game of the scason is deserving of a gold medai. “I have never found a catcher who loves foul tips. The ball player who plays other positions will never real- ize what he has missed. “Catchers sometimes kid other players for the soft positions they have picked; no wild pitchers to | cateh, no foul tips to stop with the thumbs and fingers, no call down to receive or the reason ‘Well, why didn't you call for something else in- | stead of giving him a fast one?' but we are human and know we would starve to death trying to take first ’ha_se away from George Sisler, second from Fddie Collins and so on down the line, so we just take what's in store for us and be pleased to | know we can play the game alongside these stars and receive a salary for doing it. | A tip to young catchers calling for signs.
