Albie Booth Thrives on Baseball
> A R D work seems to agree w ith Albie Booth o f Yale. T he mighty
little w a rrio r o f the gridiron has served bis days In football
and baaketball, but his activ ity w ill not end until the scholas­
tic year Is finished. H e started baseball, bis third sport, and
by so doing let him self in for a continuous athletic program which
started back on September 13 and w ill run until June 21. T h a t means
more than eight months o f continuous competition.
In spite of the long stretch over which he has been competing he Is
stronger, healthier and heavier. Albie has learned a lot o f things In
his first year as a varsity athlete and as a sophomore, and not the least
Im portant one of these Is how to eat. Albie Is working his way through
college p artia lly by w aiting on tables a t the "Y " dub. T here Is plenty
o f hash fo r the one who slings the hash, and a net gain of between
fifteen and twenty pounds since the football days Is the re s u lt
An Albie Booth w ith a tonnage of merely 137 or 144 pounds, as his
weight was listed In football, was bad enough to the opposition last
f a ll; what w ill opponents do when
he carries 100 pounds or so? T he
good little man may become a good
big man In no time. Such weight
would put Booth out o f the midget
class. T he more Im portant ques­
tion fo r Yale Is w hether Booth a t
160 pounds w ill be the whirling,
dodging, elusive star he was when
he was In the 130s. H is extra
weight did not slow him up the
least b it In basketball. Yale ap­
pears to have no ground fo r wor­
rying about Its heavier Albie Booth.
One peculiar p art of the base­
ball situation this year Is that It
Is the first tim e a t Yale th a t Booth
has not bad to go out and battle
through the first p art o f the sea­
son before having his superiority
recognized. M ai Stevens s'as often
quoted as saying th a t Booth was
not Yale’s best back and every one
knows how Booth was “Just a

.
games— until he showed he could
handle the pigskin In a manner th a t delighted the spectators.
In basketball the same thing happened. Booth had trouble In mak­
ing a place on the team. T he many available veterans attracted the
eye of Elm er Ripley, the coach, and Booth was a substitute— but only
fo r a while. When he finally came Into his own, Ripley paid him the
high compliment o f calling him the greatest competitor he ever saw
play basketball.
In baseball it Is d iffe re n t Joe Wood has seen Booth play ball. H e
watched him carefully during his freshman year and Freshman Coach
Clyde Engle told him w hat he didn't find out fo r himself. Booth's base­
ball reputation means something to Wood, and Booth therefore finds
himself already assigned to a regular birth at shortstop.

There have been shorter ones and

There Is also an Ideal height to r
pitchers. Nearly all o f the great stars
you may mention were six footers.
In fact six feet Is more Im portant
to a baseball pitcher than a heavy­
weight fighter.
A pitcher who can throw them
downgrade w ill have more speed than
one who must make them go straight
ahead.
For that reason scouts are always
looking at the big boys and passing

result that the Idea of home has be­
come so Indelibly fixed In the mind
of the average individual It becomes
a m atter o f pride to own a home.
I t Is this ever-mounting pride of
home that has resulted In the great
changes that take place In our larger
American cities. W e see neighborhoods
once looked upon as beautiful residen­
tial centers. T he style o f the homes
was once the latest. B ut In a few
years we see these sections abandoned
by the original owners, wbo have
moved to other sections, newer and
more modern. T h e older sections are
then filled w ith a citizenship which
has moved from some other sections
perhapa less desirable, and so on. T he
endless desire to own a home which
can be looked upon w ith pride by Its
owner goes on and on.
Statistics prove home ownership
usually leads to more happiness and
better citizenship. F o r it la pointed
out that usually when a man owns
a home he Is p retty dependable and
