q GLANCE through the sport sections of some of the larger news
sheets from Ume to time and notice the play which baseball is getting
... In the Citrus league, the boys are getting in shape for the grand
opening in league play . . . Pittsburgh in the National and St. Louis
in the American have the top spots to themselves at this writing . . .
Watch for that Cleveland squad to show something even without
Wonder-man Feller . . . Placing of Lou Boudreau as player coach
will be the needed element to insure the Indians of a good season.
A MUCH of the sport copy concerning baseball emphasizes the
fact that whenever a fan sees a flame, it is pretty sure that there
will be 18 men to match . . . These 18 men, the sport heads assure
the fan, are playing on borrowed time or else they have been given
deferrment for some other reason ... For that reason, athletic
officials urge the fan to look upon the efforts of these players in a
kindly light ... Any way you look at it, Uncle Sam could have
any and all of them If he really needed or wanted them.
COACH Glenn PresneU has indicated hia desire to have a quarter
back school this spring ... If he finally does decide on it, he will
hold after the regular spring drills have been completed ... in e
braaka should be able to hold up right aloi.tr with the other gridiron
foes this fall in the matter of .the quarterbaciting situation . . . Fred
Metheny and Bobby Cooper will be playing that position . . . Fred
and Bob could easily be taken for twins from the standpoint of build
. . . They weigh very close to the same; they have the same general
BPt-im lone- the muscle line and they both have a will to win . . .
The former operates from the right side while the latter is one of
the old left-handers . . . When Cooper waa on the scout squaa prep-
ping the regulars for a chance at Stanford in the Bowl, it was he
who was imitating Frankie Albert, the All-American quarter of that
year ... He did a good job of it too.
A LINE mentor. Gus Holm is In for a few extra record sessions
with his group of snap artists
Due to injuries, flu and the
like, not all of the centers have been around at all times and it will
take some extra practice to develop that finesse that is necessary
at the center position . . . Some rlays call for some help by the
center in his snap for a back to get off a quick pass or something
of that nature . . . There is nothing so bad as uncertainty regard
ing the next snap-back . . . Holm has gA the material but it still
needs some extra molding.
f DROPPED over to Coach Lew Twandowski's office yesterday . .
We were interested in a magnetised board setup ... It la built
comparable to a baseball diamond and then the various players can
be spread over the board . . . The players of course are little metal
objects . . . Duo to the magnetism, they stick on and can be moved
around th field at win ... It enables the baseball coaches to worn
out play situations to a good degree ... It was designed by Ernest
Quigley, gray-haired basketball referee from St. Mary's way back
two decades past.
Q THEY must have a bunch of hefty men back at Harvard ... At
a recent meet between Harvard and Yale, a Harvard shot put artist
