“Reb” Russell Chosen Right Fielder On All-Star National League Team

WIDE DIFFERENCE OF OPINION IN SELECTING CHOICE OF DIAMOND Umpires Make Selection—Former Association Star Noses Out Eddie Roush for Garden Honors— Groh, Frisch Chosen. By BILLY EYA.SS In football when an expert decides to select an all-star or allAmerica eleven he goes to the football officials for advice. No one connected with the gridiron game is better able to judge the worth of a player than the referee, umpire or field judge. On the same line of reasoning, in baseball the umpire should be very competent to pass judgment on the relative ability of the ball players. In order to get a composite all-star team from both the National and , There was a wide difference of American Leagues I got into touch j opinion as to the pitchers. It is with as many umpires as possible, j rather interesting that three of the The difference of opinion was rather j four pitchers selected should be left surprising.

was so good that it was a very difficult matter to draw a line of distinction. AU the umpires said that Frisch deserved a place on the team. Several suggested that he be moved to third base where he would share honors equally with Groh. On the season's play they felt that Frisch was entitled to third base on the mythical team. Went Great in Series Groh's great work in the world series, and his fine showing late in the year, earned much consideration for Heine in passing out the honors. The selection of Jake Daubt-rt for first base is a fine tribute to that veteran. Several years ago Jake was pronounced all in. The umpires say that his work at first this year far surpassed the play of any other National League first sacker.

Playing the Field With Eddie Ash IT IS estimated 100,000 people desire to see the Princeton-Chicago game. The park holds 31,000. Let the mathematic profs figure it out. Just when everybody becomes tied up in trying to dope out an Important football contest a golfer makes a hole In one and clutters up the sport traffic. PITTSBURGH, usually an unbeatable grid machine, has lost two games. The football sea is growing rough for Skipper Warner. Tech High School this week invades Sheridan, the city of the football incubator. The triple threat is old stuff in that town. The lads of Sheridan play marbles with footballs. IN a farewell talK to the ball players departing for Japan, Commissioner Landis urged the athletes to be careful of their conduct both on and off the field. Conduct aboard ship wasn’t mentioned. The players chose a foreign vessel.

Zaeh Wheat of Brooklyn was also favorably considered by many. Bill Klem, in commenting on “Reb” Russell, said he is one of the most valuable outfielders that has broken into the National League in years. In former years Eddie Roush would have been a unanimous choice. | This year he failed to qualify for a i position. While all the umpires conceded his greatness, they argued his i late start handicapped his work, and his failure to sign' may have cost the Reds a pennant. The selection of players was made on the value to their respective teams in 1922. An unusual fact about the selections was that none of the officials rated the great Alexander among the first four most valuable pitchers. A few years back. Alexander would have been first choice Just another indication of how fleeting fame is in baseball.

MAJOR LEAGUES FAIL TO FLOCK MEN IN DRAFT Only 19 Players Selected by Big Loops- Just Two Clubs in American Draw. By HEXRY FARRELL United Press Bvorts Editor NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—Failure of the present system of getting young ball players at cut rate prices from the minors was clearly shown In the 1922 draft. Only nineteen minor club players were requisitioned by the major league club owners and few of them are expected to make the grade In fast company. Because most of the clubs aie fairly well stocked with youngsters and for the reason that the International and Pacific Coast Leagues and the American and Western Associations are allowed to sell their stars unijor the existing conditions, there was little the majors desired in the draw. The Cleveland Indians, the St. Louis Cardinals, the Boston Red Sox. j the Phillies and the Chicago White Sox didn't even go to the trouble of asking for new material from the little fellows. Under the present system which awards a player wanted by two or more clubs to the club lowest In the standing, the Boston Braves profited most, getting five players. The Philadelphia Nationals were expected to make a big haul, but not a bid was made. The American League turned a nose up at the draft as only two clubs in the circuit, the Yanks and the Washington Senators, asked for the prlvlj lege of making a draw.

75 PER CENT OF GRID GAME IS PLAYED ABOVE SHOULDERS, AVERS “BO” Brain and Speed Essential Qualities in Modern Open Style of Play—Much Depends on Field General. By "BO" McMILLIN. What part does brute strength play in modern football ? Is brain and speed more essential than brawn in the open play that now features the grid game? When a coach looks over his available material what style player has the most appeal? The good old game of football has changed mueh in the last ten years. The successful coach must adapt himself to existing conditions. A coaching system that was successful ten years back would be an absolute failure today.

There was a time when football games were won by brute strength and awkwardness, hut today we can’t find a place on a successful team for the man with “a milllon-dollar body and a 10-cent head." My experience has proved conclusively to me that this scientific game of football is still in the embryonic stage, therefore it Is imperative that we choose the most active and Intelligent men for our eleven. Each season we are introducing new modes of attack and our field general is constantly changing his defense in order to successfully cepe with these strong offensive experiments. The general conception of a quarter back is one who directs the attack, but today both the defense and offense is directed by the wise field general. It has been my pleasure to act as field general for Centre College during the past four years. It was necessary to change our style of play for each game. From my experience at Cambridge in 1920 it was evident that our success in 1921 depended upon the ability of our field general to instantly diagnose each Harvard formation and meet it with the proper defense. As I backed up the line I was in a position to direct my linemen. It will be up to the general of the team again next Saturday to stop the Harvard attack as well as pilot the offense of his own team. Those of you who saw the game will remember that I had my center out of the line on practically every pass that Buell attempted. Although our

1921 line was lighter than the line which Harvard whipped in 1920, we were able to stop their line thrusts because our center had been shifted up into the line. I have always tried to direct an offense which would require the least bit of energy, because when we shift to the defense we want our backs and ends to have plenty of speed to come in fast on opponents’ offense. In the Tulane, Auburn and Washington and Lee games last year our secondary defense always came in exceptionally fast and never allowed our opponents to gain around the ends or by forward passes. M Our team was criticised by a numbe® of sport writers for getting our plays off so slow, especially was this noticeable in the Harvard game. Centre had i a reason for using such methods. On our close formations I would call a series which would Indicate the point of attack. We would then try to widen the hole In the defense by calling short series of signals and shifting to and fro to pull the defense over. Just as soon as the hole was assured the snapping signal was called and our backs were through the hole i like a streak. Yes, it takes a smart team to play that kind of football, but, as I said j before. 75 per cent of the game of | football is played above the shoul- | ders.
