| Text | [from an interview of Walter Camp describing Yale’s winter training techniques] The pitcher and catcher, and, in fact, all those in training for the nine practice every day in a long “cage” or alley, with board floor, and, this being set aside especially for their use, they jump in and play as though playing in a regular game. The exercise is very beneficial, and its results are best seen in the playing together, even, systematic work on the field. They men thus become thoroughly acquainted with each other and work hard for the team’s success, much ahrder and more systematically than they would with the meagre practice of the month or two prior to the opening of the season. At a regular hour each day after the throwing, pitching and catching exercise in the alley, I put them through sparring lessons.... St. |
