REGRET_ B PBILICITY
North Central's New President
States Asociation Held
Advisory Position.
James B. Edmonson, Dean of the
'School of Education and president
of the North Central Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools,
stated in an interview yesterday
that there is no danger of a split
between his organization and the
Western Conference. He said that
both he and Big Ten officials deep-
,y regret the fadt that a "minor
disagreement over procedure" had
been played up in such a way as to
give the impression of serious diffi-
culty between the two organiza-
tions.
Dean Edmonson was elected last
Friday to succeed Merle Prunty,
Tulsa, Oklahoma, as president of
,the North Central at the annual
meeting of the organization in Chi-
cago.
He stated that the North Central
in no way attempted to dictate in
matters ofrathletic policy as faras
the Western Conference is concern-
ed, but held a purely advisory posi-
tion in these matters, leaving any
final decisions strictly up to the
:Big Ten officials.{
DEAN EDMONSON'S
STATEMENT.
The talk about a split between
the North Central Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools
and the Western Conference over
the subject of athletic controlis
without foundation. The leaders
in the Big Ten are working co-
operatively with the athletic
committee of the North Central
Association, and have done so
from the beginning. Major Grif-
fith, Athletic Commissioner of
the Western Conference, was a
member of our athletic commit-
tee for some time. In a confer-
ence with him last week in Chi-
cago, he expressed a sympathet-
ic interest in the North Central.
I regret that the newspapers
have played up a minor dis-
agreement over procedure in
such a way as to creat the im-
pression that there is danger of
a serious quarrel between the
officials of the Big Ten and the
North Central."

COCHRANE RATED AS ONE OF BEST

Perkins was one of the best catch-
ers in the majors, and still had
some good years of major league
baseball in his system when the
new rookie first appeared in the
Philadelphia training camp. But
from Cochrane's first appearance
to the preseit time no other receiv-
er has had a chance of breaking
into the regular lineup.
Also Hits Good.
Cochrane is considered now, with
still a comparatively long career
ahead .of him, probably the greatest
backstop that ever wore the protec-
tor and shin pads for a major,
league club. Not only is he the
best fielding receiver in the majors,
but his mighty bat has carried himj

When a catcher can do all thesel
things with only a fraction as much
success as Ccchrane he is consid-
ered a find, but the Mackian Irish-
man stands alone in his class as the
perfect example of what a major
league catcher should b2. It is rare
that a good fieldimxg receiver can
belt the ball with all the punch of
a Simmons or a Ruth, but the fact
that Mickey hits the ball practi-
cally as hard as these mighty slug-
gers makes him all the more valu-
able to his club.
Knows All Tricks.
Not only does cochrane sparkle
in a mechanical way, however. He
knows every trick of every Ameri-
can League batter perfectly, and
the strategy that he employs when
directing the Philadelphia pitchers
has been responsible for winning
scores of ball games for the Macks.
Probably a great deal of the suc-
cess of Grove and Earnshaw can
be 'traced directly to Cochrane.
While they undoubtedly are great
pitchers, the help they get from
Cochrane pulls them out of many
tight situations that may have
spelled the showers for them with
another man behind the plate.
While credit must be given to all
members of the Athletics for their
showing in the past few years, to
"Mickey" Cochrane must go the
lion's share of the praise for his
aid in the success of the Mackmen.

going to get back on its feet again
or not. The slump that profession-

another sport, wrestling, a chance
