ORIGINALITY MARKS THE
PLAY OF BILLIARD CRAMP
This afternoon billiard fans of the
University are to have an exhibition
of high grade billiards which should
be unsurpassed. However, at this
time, instead of two of the leading
players of the billiard world, there is
to be the leading player himself, when
World's Champion Jake Schaefer
plays 400 points of 18.2 balkiine with
another man almost on a par, the
French champion Roger Conti. Again
in the evening these two men will
perform for the local enthusiasts.
Men like Welker Cochran and E~d-
ouard Horemans who gave an exhibi-
tion here sereval weeks ago showed
billiards never before beaten in Ann
Arbor,but here are menwho rank still
higher than this pair, and one who has
attained the pinnacle in billiardom. It
is a rare treat to see a world's cham-
pion in any sport, but the Union of-
fers a world's champion and the cham-
pion of France playing a match against
each other.
Sebaefer's Play Original
The stroke used by most of the
leading players is. different from
Schaefer's for instead of keeping his
arm close to the body he uses a side
arm stroke which enables him to get
better results when nursing the balls.
He -also is individual in that he
changes his style of bridging to suit
the kind of a shot he is making. For
shots of some distance he uses the
ordinary spread finger type, but for
close shots where it is necessary to
get an accurate draw without using
much force he forms .a bridge by
doubling up his fingers under his palm.
He is always striving to improve his
game and always carefully watches
his opponent's play to gain anything
that he can from him. He is more
serious than the majority of profes-
sional players and the expression on
his face when he misses a shot shows
how keenly he feels it. His original-
ity in difficult shots is a decided factor
in his play and this has many times
pulled him out of holes that would
have been too much for another.
Conti is Feared
Conti is a billiardist of no mean abil-
ity and is feared by the best men of
both continents. Although only 20
years of age he is already champion
of France and is contesting Horeman's
claim to the championship of Europe
on the grounds that the Belgian has
been unwilling to meet him in Europe.
The Frenchman has undoubtedly a
bright future, for he is one of the
most promising of the younger play-
ers. In a year or two he will cause
even more fear among the ranks of
cue artists, for the billiards he plays
now, combined with a year or two more
of experience should be a winningi
combination. The tournament at Chi-
cago last November was his first, and
he showed such billiards that he fin-;
ished fourth there against one of the
best fields ever seen.
To ]feet Hioppe
Schaefer will defend his title against
the former holder, Hoppe, in April,
the result of a challenge issued right
after the Chic_!go tournament where
he gained his victory. It was agreed
at that time that the winner was notl
fto be forced to risk his title until six:
months after the affair, and HoppeI
who had insised on this rule, because
he was sure of winning, had to stickl
by it when Schaefer unexpectedly
wrested the title from him after he
had it for many years. It is inter-
esting to learn that this is net the first
of the family to be world's champion
for "Old Jake" Schaefer, the father,
was once the title holder as was the
father of Hoppe.
