As a result a clash of the two team promises to be one of the outstanding gridiron attractions of the season.

CGoach George °T.- Cassidy after three days of work with his high school football squad has decided upon the lineup which he will use in the game with the Coast Guard Junior Varsity team this afternoon. The game will start @t 2:30 o'clock. He has shifted Mike Grip from his regular pesition to left half- back and has substituted Henry Kraszewski in his place at center. Instead of using Bill Kuhs, regular guard from last year and a regular 80 far this season, he has decided to again start Mikalauskas in his pllace, Dumin will also be started at guard, leaving Potts, regular up until two games . _o, on the side- lines. However, the coach is figur. ing on using Potts early in the game because. he believed the freshman husky has shown great improve- ment. Potts is in good physical con- dition so this will also be a point In his favor. The backfield will be the same as that of last week with the exception of Kraszewski. Middleton is in- oligible this week but he will be ready for the New Haven Hillhouse game a week from today. He will probably take Alex Zaleski's place at halfback, but if Zaleski shows up better than Kraszewski it is possi. ble that Zaleski will stay in the lir:up and Kraszewski will be re- placed. Fana are anxious fo ser how well Kroszewski works out in his first chance to start a game. There have been followers who all season have proclaimed him the leading high school halfback, but he was not in enough games o prove his worth. out on an end run or off-tackle plan and is fast on his feet.

Compared to it golf, horse racimg, prize fighting, circus and railroad are expression- less. None of the undictionaried languages touch it in richness of expression and terseness. The men who write and talk base- ball stop at nothing. They follow the theory that the best language is that which conveys the meaning most clearly and they adapt from English, French, German, Chinese and other languages and when these fail to fit the occasion they adopt and invent a word of their own. Everyone who knows baseball understands exactly what they mean, no matter what they write or say and regardless of the fact that Noah Webster might scratch his head for a week trying to think what they meant. Some of the old time aport writ- ers were known for their classics concerning baseball games. Joe Campbell of Washington was really the Shakeapearc of baseball, He wrote classics, short stories and was one of the cleverest dramatic criti- cisms in the country yet the editors of the paper he worked for were re- peatedily forced to request him to write his baseball articles in straight- away English. In describing a strike. out, Campbell would say “the batter carved three nicks in the weather.” An abstract from one of his stor- ies read as follow “The glass armed toy soldiers from New York were fed to the pigs yesterday by the cadaverous ‘Washington grave robbers, They stood around gaping like a hen on a hot rail while the basilisk cattle drivers from Washington ran bases till their tongues were long with thirst. Hickel had more errors than “Coin's Financial 8chool.” Washing- ton was bad enough but New York couldn't have fallen out of a boat and landed In the water.” Lennie Washburn, who met death in a railroad accident, was past master of the art of comparison in baseball. One day a batter shot a fast one past third. The grass was a bit high and the ball, instead of bounding, hugged the ground. The next morning Washburp wrote, “It sounded like the hired man eating; Speaking of a pitcher the Washburn jobbing of was expression t the hurler ross the plate. The common expressions used in baseball are countless and almost ha his own 1 expressions. news- to un- of undictionar) evertheless real American paper readers never fall derstand what is meant. It has often been said that the jargon of professional baseball is necessary in the forecasting and re- porting of the games to attract and sustain the attention of the read- ers.
