•*(' "I NE less tough baby to fool,” | Q was the smiling comment IY.| of Walter Johnson, when j notified that Washington had signed Tris Speaker.. “Now it some club in the National League will just kidnap Cobb, it will be a lot easier for me to beat Cleveland and Detroit next summer.

“Batters like Cobb and Speaker only eomc once In about every 25 years. They’re not only natural hitters, but favored by keen minds, they mix their style, so the pitcher is always in trouble when pitching to them. “While I never would pick Ruth

Evans

as a batter easy I to pitch to, still I would much prefer; trying to fool Uita than matching J wits and curves with Cobb or | Speaker.” —a ALTEIt JOHNSON is happy j \JU because Washington, rather than some other club, has ! signed Speaker. While not wishing Ty any bad luck, lie would prefer that the National League pitchers j worry over Jhe problem as to what Cobb can't bit. Discussing the great hitters of the last twenty years with +hnson one'day last summer, I asked him j how he pitched to Cobh. “There Is no set vsiy to pitch to Cobb because he hasn’t a weakness. I have tried iny entire assortment against him and readied that conclusion,” he replied. “Some days when 1 have been very fast, I found my speed bothered him to a certain extent. That is, I might make him miss two fast balls, but variably he would murder one of them before I managed to slip over | the third strike. "I always have made it a point to study Cobb’s stance -and pitch ae- j cordingly. However, I never had better than fair results.” * SENSATIONAL WORK mT strikes me Washington fans 1 are going to be treated to some sensational work in the outfield this year. - To my way of thinking the Washington ball park is the only honest-to-goodness ball field in the majors, playing territory considered. If all the major leagune ball j parks were patterned after the Washington ploying field, baseball would be a much more interesting game. Incidentally pitching would be an easier task. A player who" knocks the ball overthc high wall in right field at Washington or drops it # into the left field ! bleachers, deserves a home-run-The Washington field enables the gardeners to cover all kinds of | ground and offers plenty of oppor-; tunity for sensational running j catches, still one of the greatest plays In baseball. Speaker, nice and Goslin should j provide plenty of ’ thrills for the j Washington fans this summer as weil as many heartaches for the opposition.

WINNING TEAMS USE PASS AND BREAK PLAY ... By ||. s. Olsen, Ohio State Coach ——-

ERACTICALLY every Rood basketball team incorporates in Its play what may be termed the pass and break. That is, they follow the principle that the best time to lose the opponent who is guarding you is just after you have passed the ball. This is a sound principle to follow whether you are playing a short pass game or a long pass game, for the reason that the- average indi-

If lie beats Smith here and repeats over Tony Canzonori in Chicago, Feb. 24. the official crown may be handed the Hoosier Terrier.

vidual is a curious being. There is lots of plain, unvarnished curiosity i in his makeup. Cut for Basket The basketball player is no exception, and the smart player, when on the offenije, takes advantage of his guard's curious streak by .use of the pass and break; 1. e., by breaking or cutting for an open space or toward the basket just after lie lias I passed tlie bull.

B a Timra Spatial LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 9.—The basketball kinks of a several weeks’ layoff having been ironed out by a victory over Franklin, Purdue today was at work for its jump back into the Western Conference race in the game with Ohio State at Columbus Saturday. The Buckeye tilt will be Purdue’s second road game of the Conference season. Perdue’s floor work was nothing to Boast about against the Baptist five, but it overcame this handicap by excellent basket ingvv The Buckeyes were tumbled In one game played at Purdue this season, but only after a hard scrap, and Coach Lambert's five is approaching the Saturday night engagement expecting stubborn opposition from the start. Ohio, on its home floor, always has been a difficult team for the Boilermakers to subdue. Loren Hodges, former Shelbyville star, made his university debut against Franklin, and show's promise of adding to the strength of Coach Lambert’s squad. Linkamcr. the Michigan City youth who has been understudying “Cotton” AVil cox at floor guard, also worked to advantage against Franklin. Close on the heels of the Ohio game will come the important contest with Michigan, Big Ten leaders. In Memorial gym here next Tuesday night. Facilities are inadequate to take care of the crowd that desires to the Boilermakers and Wolverines hook up.

Five thousand of ’em cheered and stamped and the Loganberries responded nobly by going over and around La Porte. The Slieers put up a game fight, but were unable to match the speed of the Logan boys under the basket or halt the drive of the local five. Whether or not Cliff Wells was pleased with the performance of his boys, we do rfe; know. True enough.

they missed enough shots to win a dozen ball games, but at the same time they made enough to win a couple, too. Bob Benson did get hot for a while and began sinking the field goals left and t i g h t. “Red” Tucker, not to be outdo ne, got i.nrm, too, and the Ba Porte coach substituted freely, but vainly.

Because when Logansport gets hot, Logan is, hot. and we don't mean perhaps. “Lefty” Evans, a brace,tn his shoulder, played a mean game of ball.

The average guard will have the tendency, which is a perfectly nor- | mal one, of letting eyes follow the hail at least momentarily. He is' just a little bit curious, so he takes j his eyes off the man he Is responsible j for and gets interested in the ball as it is passed. Even though the duration of this j lapse on the part of the guard is very short, it gives the clever offensive player the opportunity .he is looking for, so he starts out at top speed either into an open space or toward the basket. The result is that before the guard

Is in no position to cover him -because the offensive man is already way and moving at top speed; while* the guard, starting from a standing position, can’t hope to keep up with him. So the offensive man, if he can get a return pass, lias gained enough of an advantage so that the guard Is left behind, or, at any rate, Is In such a poor defensive position, that

he must foul the offensive man in ' order to stop his shot. In the one case, a basket probably is mader and if the guard, commits a foul on his opponent in the act of shooting, the penalty is two free throws and the basket also counts if made —a possible total of four points being made on the play, besides a personal foul charged to the J guard. Tlfat is the reason basketball play- j ers continually are urged to break i quickly after passing, and, converse- J ly, that is why guards are coached j "your man is most dangerous just j after he lias, passed the ball.” A basketball team which employs j the pass and break to good advantage is a hard team to beat. 1 School Team Wrecked Ru Timm Special | RICHLAND CENTER, Wis., I Feb. 9.—"0il superintendent, spare the team!” is the plea of the ! students at Richland High j School.

LOGANSPORT DEDICATES NEW GYM WITH VICTORY Berries Overwhelm La Porte —Trester Principal Speaker —Five Thousand Witness One-Sided Tilt.

HZ' Times Staff Correspondent LOGANSPORT. Ind.. Feb. 9. More than 5,000 people jammed into Logansport High School's m \v gymnasium here Tuesday night to witness The dedication ceremonies of the huge basketball arena, cheered Cliff Wells' Varsity “A” quintet as it slashed its way to an overwhelming 62-19-victory over the La Porte Slieers. The local team, keyed up to a high pitch by the occasion, got off to a slow start, warmed up gradually and at the end flashed through the La Porte defense with amazing speed. \ Too Much Speed Weakness of La Porte on defensive tactics made it rather hard to get an accurate line on the offensive power of the Berries. The Slieers were unable to present enough speed to match the local lads and were running around in circles more than half the time. Elaborate dedication exercises preceded the contest. Arthur L. Trester, permanent secretary ot the I. H. S. A. A., was the principal speaker. R. R. Johnson, president of the organization which built the gym, presented Leo Horton, school superin- . tendent, with the lease. Leo Gamos j presented J. J.
