FIELD CAPTAIN IDEA

a WILL PROBABLY BE USED FOR HIGH TEAM In past season, high school has bad an elected captain, but this season the field captain Idea trill undoubtedly be followed. With this plan, the logical man will always be leading the Red and White in the important games on the 1922-23 schedule, in preparation for the annual tournaments next spring. , A squad of selected men worked out in the high school gym under the tutoring of Coach Little Wednesday evening. The players were mostly com posed of prospective first team materila, but they have not clinched their hold on a berth representing the high school, as yet. Little is working Rex Sauter at cen ter; Kennedy, Muey and Price at for wards; Kessler, Jones and Mattox at guards. The center position Is being filled in a good manner by Sauter, who obtained some valuable exper ience last year while with the wellknown Camera Shop Kewpies. His short shots are his asset In most any basketball game. Muey, the lad from Huntington, looms as the speediest forward for the Red and White, to date. He shows considerable ability on the court for a lad who is but 17 years old. A good basket eye for short and long side shots, is the achievement to which he has worked. Guards Arc Good. "Whltey" Kessler is expected to have a good season at floor guard. His speea in getting over tne floor is a real asset to the high school team. Although his basket shooting ia a bit weak, it is expected that the Hi mentor will have his understudy hold some extra sessions at goal shooting. gJack Mattox seems unexcelled In the ? -ckguard position this year. Inas much as the team will use a five-man offense; he will be well located for he Is a crack shot from the center of the floor. Mattox has builded out more this fall since the football season and he weighs more than he ever did. Although basketball Is a bit tame, compared to football, which game he play ed for Richmond ever since he entered high school. Jack is expected to settle down to satisfaction with the court game. Ralph Kennedy, last year's center, is training hla eye for accuracy on shots from all angles of the floor. He and Trice are putting up a stiff bid for the forward position to team with Muey. Other men out for the first team who are showing to. fair advantage are: Romey. Jones. Tsixon, W. Reld, Rlzjo, Ellibee and others. What men fail to make the first team will be turned over to the coach of the second team to represent that quintet. Thanksgiving day did not mean a rest for the net squad, for they were to report to practice Thursday afternoon, to avoid falling into a lapse. SIX GAMES FEATURE NET CARNIVAL FRIDAY Six basketball games will be staged at the Coliseum Friday night, starting at 7 o'clock.

Tyrus Cobb is World Beater For Holding Diamond Records

. c. MEJfKB By FRANK Ball players come, and onward they go, but there never was one, perhaps never will be, like Tyrus Raymond Cobb. He stands supreme and Alone. Through the years that have been his, he has held more records than any man that ever lived. Some have been eclipsed by the newer generation which ha3 been blessed with a "lively balL But it seems that whenever one medal for greatness is snatched from Cobb, he promptly carves out another for himself. Once he topped the baseball world in the matter of runs and hits made in a single season. But the new brand of basball, which gives the average batter anywhere from two bases to a double barreled home run on an ordinary hunt, made it possible for others younger and a bit more agile than Cobb to exceed his mark of 248 hits and 147 runs in one season of play. And, likewise, the same rubber ball made it possible for George Sisler to whip Cobb's old mark of hitting safely in 40 consecutive games. , Gets New Titles But in the eeason of 1922, when he was in his 36th year of life, this wonder man of the baseball world stepped right out and annexed some new titles to replace those which had been taken from him by men of greater youth and springier muscles. And there is more lustre and glory to the new ones than are entwined in the old. In the baseball year Just agone. Cobb, by hitting for .400, made it three times above that amazing mark some thing. that s a certain record for an American League player and one which, all things considered, is beyond anything any athlete ever turned in. , Not content with that, Cobb went beyond 200 hits in 1922. making it his eighth year above that well-nigh im possible number. And to tcp off the year, he tied the once-time "unbeatable" record of Hans Wagner by hitting .300 or better for 17 consecutive: years. . i If Cobb can turn In better than .300 In 1923 a feat that seems almost a certainty for him he will displace the "Flying Dutchman" from the loftiest peak that a baseball player can achieve. For what achievement is there in the game beyond that of hitting above .300 for 18 years in a row? Steals Most Bases. Cob still holds the modern day record In the matter of base stealing. He made it in 1915 when he pilfered 98 sacks a showing so far beyond any. thing that any other player has made in the past 25 years that there is no comparison. When Cobb hangs up his spiked shoes for the last time he perhaps will leave behind him a grand batting average that never will be eclipsed. For the figures up to the present time show that the mighty Georgian has hit through the years for a mark of .368 a clip so terrific, so amazing as to be almost unbelievable. Tn his first year as a major, serving largely in the role of substitute, and with nervousness and stage fright handicapping him, he was able to amass only .240 in the realm of swat. The next year he rambled along to .320 and since that time he never has gone below it. The most astonishing thing about the Cobbian batting mark is that during the last six -pears after he was 30 years of age Ms batting average has

BAG OF HEAT. TRICKS RELEASED BY HOPPE IN BILLIARD TOURNEY Rv Associated Press) NEW YORK. Nov. 30. Analysis of th atrnkA and style of the six experts who competed in the recent international 18.2 balk line tournament here, shows that Willie Hoppe, who regained his title, had more tricks In his bag than any of his competitors and a more complete variety of game. For the first time in the history of billiards a complete stroke analysis similar, but more complete than that for tennis was kept and through the courtesy of Charles C. Peterson, the trick shot expert who supervised the tally, The Associated Press is enabled to nresent its salient points. Hoppe of course, made the greatest total since he won all of his games of 500 points each but even so the proportion of his shots, as revealed in the "box score," was higher than any of his contestants, except in tne Masse, He was forced to avoid the masse to win and how he accomplished the stunt by changing his style overnight Is clearly shown. Avoids Masse. To keep the two object balls suffic iently far apart to avoid the masse HoDDe resorted to the cushions of which he is a master and to drawing incidentally keeping himself from rail nursing as would have been possible had he braved the masse. Even so he counted 724 times on straight caroms more than any one except Horemans, the EelKian. who made 782. Hoppe'a chief reliance was the draw. On that he chalked up 929, 90 more than his nearest competitor, Schaefer. He made 148 follow shots, 44 more than Conti, the Frenchman who was second. He went to the bank before touching either object ball. 38 more times than Conti, who was second in this feature and made 69 one-cushion caroms than Hagenlacher, the German, who was second. Hoppe Shoots Six-Cushion. Hoppe also made more two and fourcushion shots than any one else. He and Schaefer each made one five-cushion shot while Horemans and Cochran, an American, made two each but Hoppe was the only man to make a sixcushion shot, the marvel of the tournament. Hoppe also led in kiss shots counting of 26 of them, to 18 for Conti, who was second. All the players relied on the draw shot, more than one-third of the total of 12,201 points being counted for by cueing low; straight-caroms, including close nursing was second with more than a fourth and one-cushion shots, were third in the total. The final summary shows 11 scratches throughout the tournament, 17 miscues, two fouls, 12 "bumps, 'and five failures to get the ball out of balk Hoppe, Cochran and Hagenlacher failing once each and Conti twice. Cochran lost two games through miscues. "Keep your eye on Conti." said Peterson, who besides being the greatest exponent of trick shots is a formidable 18.2 player himself, and might have been the greatest except for a physical Injury years vgo. Contl's control especially on the lower end rail was marvelous. Suburban LIBERTY, Ind. A game warden from ' Indianapolis arrested George Crist for hunting without a license Friday.
