Middletown, Conn,, Oct. 3.—~Ior the firat time in the history of the college, Yesleyan University will play an intercollegiatg baseball game in the fall when they meet the Springfield College nine at Middle- town next Saturday. This is an in- novation made possible by Dr. Edgar Fauver, head of the Physical Edu- cation Department at Wesleyan, and if 1t proves successful will no doubt be continued in future years. The Cardinal and Black will have a strong team despite the fact that the have lost Fricko, Lotspeich, Howarth and Butler by graduation. Although the team that will play Springfield on Saturday has not been chosen yet, Porter, Childress, Seiler, Reynolds and Sutton remain from last years team, and the prospects for a successful team are bright. Without a doubt, Porter the south- paw twirler who worked so con- sistently Jast Spring, will be on the mound Saturday. Coach ¥. C. Dougherty who played with the Reading International Club during the summer, returned to his post Jast week and since that time has been rounding a team into shape. This is the first of a series of games which will be played with Springfield this fall, and it is poss- ible that series with other nearby colleges will be arranged to be play- ed before the cold weather sets in. CLASSIC PLAYS ON GRIDIRON By FIELDING H. YOST University of Michigan Couach, “One of the greatest plays I ever have segn in football started out to be a bad miscue at a critical point in a red-hot battle. It all happened 80 quickly fans in the stands never knew how close they came to groan- ing instead of cheering, It was the season of 1916. Uni- versity of Michigan and the Michi- gan “Aggies” were engaged in a tor- rid, see-sawing game in which nei- ther team had as yet scored. Final- ly Michigan worked the ball to the “Aggies' " 25-yard line, but there we were stopped. The stage was set for the great play, Captain Maulbetsch was to essay a place kick for the Malze and Blue, Clifford Sparks+ of Jackson, Mich,, then a sophomore playing his first important ' collegiate game, was to hold the ball for Maulbetsch, Out from between the center's legs came the ball. But the pass high and wide. So high that Sparks had to scramble to his feet and so wide that he had to go into the air to lay hands on the ball at all. But he grabbed it. Then suddenly he whirled, took one swift glance goal- ward— and drop-kicked, the three points Maulbetsch was supposed to place-Kkick, The greatness of that play lay in the niental alertness of Sparks. Un- til the ball was passed he had no idea he womld drop-kick._ But he did, having thought, made a decision | and acted accurately all in the flash of an instant, Football develops that kind of co- ordination. That's why it belongs in the schools and colleges, make ground-gainers for the game of life.
