Playing 1 the Field j ONNIE Mack isn’t given to making predictions. He thinks before he speaks. Last spring when I gave his ball dub the once over at Ft. Myers, Fla.. Connie was inclined to enthuse over

his pennant possijilities. Naturally 1 was Interested in his observations. “I have a much better team than in 1925. I believe Lt lias been strength ened ;nough to win the pennant,” he said. The Athletics failed to Avin and ‘.hereby failed to iustify the opinion of the astute and taciturn manager.

The Athletics, after disappointing Jonnie last year, will cause him to be very careful about making any forecasts for 1927. . However, it is njy opinion that Connie is more justified than ever In prophesying the Athletics will finish in front in the American League this year. i**jHILE Connie lias had a good VvJ club for several years, it [ I—l sadly lacked poise. In the case of the Athletics, lack of poise best can be explained by simply saying there were no veteran players on fehe club to steady it when in trouble. ™ In addition to lack of poise, psychology played a prominent part. .Mack's clubs had been tail-enders for so many years that the moment a losing streak set in the players took its usual low level. TRIO OF REAL STARS | LVCE the close of the 1926 S campaign, Connie Mack has ' added three veteran stars to his line-up, two from the American one. frorp the National. They are Ty Cobb, Eddie Collins and Zach Wheat. While all three have passed the peak of their game and all are suffering from the same plaint, weak underpinning, it strikes me the trio will prove invaluable to the Mackmen this summer. Ty Cobb, Zach Wheat ami Eddie Collins can do one tiling, hit just as well as they’ ever did. Connie Mack, therefore, has added three hitters who belong in the .350 class <o his roster. Figure what an added punch that means. Collins will supply poise to the infield that will be absorbed by the rest of the team. Cobb will supply a fighting spirit, one asset the Ath- ' 'tics have lacked. He will also add ihe well-known color to a team that has always been rather drab. Zach Wheat will add increased power, making for confidence. SHOULD WIN PENNANT “riOT since 1914, when Connie l |M I Mack won his last pennant, I has had he such fine prosto again go over as this year. Hal'he “big three,” Cobb, Collins and wvheat, should supply the very things the club has lacked in Its fight for a pennant. Mack has added three stars to what was a mighty good club before their coming. While Cobb realizes he Is no longer the Tyrus of say, 1912,\ he will go at top speed this year until nature simply culls a halt. Cobb, the fighter, would like to have a big season in 1927, more than in any other year of Ills career. If the Athletics can’t win with Cobb, Collins and Wheat, then Connie is going to be a much disappointed manager.

NORMAN BACKBOARD ? AACS

SHE big game comes Tuesday night when Michigan plays Purdue at Lafayette. Should the Boilermakers win it would throw the Western Conference rac? into a muddle, with the Wolverines, Badgers and Purdue in a triple tie for first place. We really believe Purdue ,is going to win Tuesday. "Piggy" Lambert has strengthened his offense with the addition of Hodges and the Lafayette quintet is keyed up to the right point. Wabash handed Indiana something to think about Saturday. The Crimson were all set to lay claim to the State championship when the Little Giants rpined everything. Indiana played a great game of ball, but so did Wabash. The Cavemen found Indiana's defense too strong to crash through and fell back upon a delayed offense, dribbling around in the back court waiting for an opening. When they did find an opening, Harbison. Thornburg, Adams an-J De Vol were directly under the basket fighting for every break. Indiana started a dozen drives down the tloor only to have "Tootle" Thornburg break it up. The former Muntie flash was right in every play and fought hard every minute of the game. Correll and Wells played fine ball for the Crimson. i _____ A curious angle on the Notre Dame-Franklin tilts during the past two years lias attracted our attention. The first game played in 1926 resulted in a 33-22 victory for Franklin.. In the return game at South Bend tlie Irish won, 40-19, a margin of twenty-one points. In 1927 the Baptists again won tire first contest, and by the same score as in the previous season, 33-22. The return game played Saturday resulted in a 36-16 victory for Notre Dame, a margin of twenty points. Bill Hunt. Ohio Slat? captain, still is in the individual Big Ten scoring lead with 83 points. “Pug" Daugherity, Illinois, is not very far behind with 73. Cummins, Purdue, with 51, is the nearest Hoosier.
