They show that the Kelly-Frische-Jack- son-Groh combination of the Nation- al league champlons has a combined average of .07276 as compared with 06925 for the Judge-Harris-Peckin- paugh-Bluege quartet. At the bat the Glant four have an even more decisive margin, showing .309 to Giants Have Edge On Senators .287 for the Senators.

Calculations, however, may be up- set by the inability of the Glants to put thelr Tull infield strength on the fleld. Frisch seems certain to play, but Groh is on the doubtful list. In addition, McGraw has indicated he may shift Kelly, who has filled in at the keystone bag, to center fleld and play Terry at first, Lindstrom, 18- year-old schoolboy, is first string substityte for Groh. Thus, with Ter- ry at first, Kelly or Frisch at second, Jackson at short and’ Lindstrom on third, the Giants would not look so formidable as the figures show.

DickWortham, freshman flank occu- pant last year, was promoted froin the gecond to the regular lineup, dis- placing Emile Coene, last year's scrub guard, who has been used on the right wing since the squad re- ported. Ben Cutler replaced Eddie Cottle and Billy Kline succeeded Pond in the halfback places. Cutler regis- tered the first touchdown after Kline had picked up a fumble of Cutler in midfield and ran to the scrub 20 yard mark. Cutler retrieved his mishap on the next play by break- ing loose for the score and kicked the goal. Jddie Bench closed a long series of short gains by taking the ball over for the second score and Cutler kicked the goal. Ted Lilley, 1910, Houston Landis and “Abe" Lincoln of last year's team, assisted the resi- oaching squad. The varsity lineup: Ends, Bingham and Luman; tackles, Butterworth and Joss; guards, Eckart and Wortham; cen- ter, Ciptain Lovejoy; quarterback, Wiencke; halfbacks, Cottle —and Pond; fullback, Bench. MICKEY WALKER PIGHTS BOBBY BARRETT TONIGHT Welterweight Champion Is Defend- ing His Title in Philadelphia Contest Philadelphia, Sept. 30.—Mickey Walker, welterweight champion, will defend his title here tonight in 2 ten round decision bout with Bobby Barrett, of Clifton Heights, Pa. The articles of agreement call for the men to weigh in at 2 o'clock this afternoon below the 147-pound limit with Walker's title at stake. Walker arrived here last night from his training camp at Summit, N. J., and appeared in excellent physical condition. He declared he was confident of his abllity to master Barrett. Barrett, who trained at Ridley Park, near here, also was reported in fine condition and optimistic of the outcome. He said he probably would weigh 145 pounds or less. The bout will be held at the Philadelphia National league base- ball park, There will be three 10-round preljminaries, the main fight being scheduléd for 10:30 o'clock.

His great value as a player is be- ing more and more appreclated, Not so many years ago the selec- tlon of a center as varsity captain was a rarity, Those days, however, are over, The football s#son, which 1s al- ready crowding baseball off the sport map, will sce a number of the lead- ing college teams captained by the center. For years backfield men and ends have been the popular choice as captains, This was largely due to the fact that these players, belng more spectacular, came in for much more hero worship and were re- garded as more deserving of being honored with the leadership. That was all right When the cen- ter did'little more than pass the ball and try to open a hole in the lind, The modern center plays quite a different role. Open Style Helps The open style of play has placed the center more on a plane of equality with th& rest of the eleven. As a matter of fact, a great many centers do as much tackling and in- terfering as any other member of the team. The passing game has opened up a new field for the center, giving him an opportunity to shine if he has the ability, and many a center has taken advantage of it. The spotlight is there for him if he can deliver. It is a rather strange coincldence that two of the leading elevens of the country, Harvard and Yale, will be led this year by the center. Lovejoy, who starred at center for Yale last season, is captain of this year's team; Center Greenough is the Harvard leader. In the “BigiTen” of the west, Ohlo State and Purdue have a center for captain, Young having the honor at State, Claypool at Purdue. Last season Claypool made an en- viable reputation in the west for all- round play, while Young was not far behind, Many Centers Lead 'Em Then there is the famed Notrc Dame, which has many brillian! backfield men, several of All-Ameri- can caliber, However, Walsh, th star center of the team, is the cap- tain. Out on the Pacific coast, Califor- nia, the wonder team of that section, fias “Babe" Horrell, center, for cap- tain. Coach Andy Smith rates him as one of the most valuable men in his squad. At West Point, Garbish, who has been playing football these many years and who has been honored by being selected as All-America center, is captain, At Penn State, where Coach Hugo Bezdek has turned out many great teams, Center Gray s the captain. Yes, sir! The center has come to he a mighty distinguished -individual in football. 350 Can—tii_d;;s Are Out For the Yale Crew New Haven, Conn., Sept. 30.

It is believed that the success of the Yale crew af the Olymplcs last summer has done much to make rowing more popular at the university.
