KFavorable “veather was the only element needed ) make the municipal celebration complete, and though there was threat of rain or snow In early casts, the sky seemed likely to lear for the opening whistle at 2 J'elo The arrival of the cadet orps from West Point and the regi- t of midshipmen from Annapolis was scheduled around midday, in time for them to stage pre.game maneu- cers for the benefit of the crowd. TUnusual precautions had been taken to handle thc huge throng. Five hundred policemen were assigned to me duty while special squads over- ight were detailed to check the operations of ticket speculators, whose activities were halted te some extent by several arrests. Army’s prospects of victory caught the fancy of a vast majorty of grid- tron followers, largely because of the smore impressive record of the cadets, their more experienced material and a formidable attack bullt around Harry Wilson, all-Amerfcan halfback. Navy, however, was oon- sidered to have been strengthened by an_eleventh hour shift that added weight to the already heavy forward wall of the sailors and was not lack- ing in enthusiastic support. ~ This| change sent Eddy to right guard in| place of Chillingworth and kept Os- burn at center instead of Zuber. The sturdy defense of the Midship- men is constructed largeiy around plans to stop Wilson, who has been the Cadets' chief ground gainer all season. Army supporters, however, are confident the former Penn State lash will prove a decisive factor, together with such other assets as Bill Wood's talented toe and the line work of one of the best center trios in the East—Capt. Garbisch, at cen- ter, flanked by Ellinger and Far- sitors. ¢ of Baltimore | cver had. BROTHERS SUBSTITUTE ON THE RIVAL ELEVENS By the Associated Press.

CARNEGIE IS AFTER NOTRE DAME SCALP PITTSBURGH, November 29.—The Tartan eleven from Carnegie Insti- tute of Technology at Forbes Field today will attempt what all other teams so far this season found im- possible—the defeat or tying of Notre Dame. Knute Rockne's squad will enter the fray under a handicap. “The four horsemen,” famed Notre Dame back- field, will be deprived of one of its members, as Coach Rockne announced that Elmer Layden would not be used. Layden suffered a strained ligament in the game with North- western a week ago and Carney will be used to fill the gap in the quartet, Rockne said. Nevertheless, Notre Dame enters the fight a big favorite, although the Tartans profess the utmost confidence that-their gridiron warriors will give the Rockne squad one of its toughest scraps of the sea- son. Both teams were given their final workouts yesterday. Rockne pro- nounced his men in excellent condi- tion and Coach Steflin of thc Tartans said that a number of his stars who had been on the hospital list a week or more would be in the line- wwick. Army Has Better Record. I previous performances mean any- thing, Army has a decided edge. The West Polnters have won four, tied 1wo and lost only one game this sea- son, that the Notre Dame, while the Midshipmen have tasted defeat five times In seven games, losing to ifarquette, West Virginia Weslcyan, Pennsylvania State, Princeton and Bucknell. Temporary ineligibility of several outstanding stars in midseason, however, handicapped the Annapolls | ampaign and with these men back in the line-up the team will take the 1eld at its best this afternoon. The lors have a formidable line, fine cks in Shapley and Flippin, and re expected to uncover an aerial offensive {hat may turn the tide in their favor. The deadlock in the serles, which now stands at 12 victorles aptece and w0 ties, has existed since 1922, when | he Cadets were victorious on Frank- | lin ¥ield a1 Philadelphia. Last son the rivals fought to a scoreless ‘ia in the mud at the Polo Grounds, in New York. In the five game e the war thc Navy holds the edge, with three victories und only one zet- back.

SALSINGER. infielder can stand in a wrong position. He can fool | 4 ‘ a base-runner by his attitude. !Bnt the cannot de- | ceive. Ty Cobb knew, of course, that to catch a ball a man has to have his eve on the ball and, therefore. while the inflelder may not be standing in the path of the ball and while his hands may not be in position to ke the cateh, his eves will be fol- lowing the ball and b watching the m: s eyes the runner not alone can tell what direction the ball is taking, but he o discover how mnear elder’s ey ite his at- no atten- ided to | the eye T the position of the he did. By watehing the eves of the man c covered the ction of the ball and then lie cha his course =o that he came in the direct line of the ball. He rah so that he would come be- tween the ball and the man watching to catch it. ‘T'his plan had a double advautage. There was the chance of Cobb hiding the ball momentarily from the in- fielder and thus making possible a fumble or misjudgment, and there was the chance of the ball hitting Cobb. As Cobb was in the direct line of vision the inflelder had to watch Cobb as well as the ball, providing he could see the ball. Nome Hit As Often. Often during his career has Cobb been hit by u thrown ball. There never was a player hit as often and the reason s g n in the preceding paragraphs. Cobb traveled ahead of the ball, and if the play was close the chance always was that Cobb and the ball met. Several times Cobb has reached a base, or scored, by kicking a ball. Five times in one season Cobb scored on a play like this. One time in a {game between Detroit and Philadel- phia, ‘with J. Franklin Baker play- ing third base, Cobb got in the line of the ball. The throw was a bit faster than Cobb and as he slid the ball struck the ground just ahead {of him and bounded up. As the ball arose Cobb kicked. His spikes strucie the ball and it rolled into the De- troit dugout. Cobb got up and walked home. Baker protested. The umpires said it was an accident, ac it was im- ! possible for Cobb to deliberately kick di o he base, Cobb dis- | NeruEshe bas Eeaa [on close plays. { | | | | { | infielder. | i the ball while sliding. Baker lost his | | argument, but he was not convinced. | He knew—so did Cobb. By watching the infielder's eyes Cobb also judged his sliding. If he thought the ball would beat him to the bag he slid in the opposite direc- { tion from the one in which the in- | fielder’s gaze was focused. Cobb had developed nine different | slides. This thing of sliding came | difficult at first. Like everything else ' he mastered the art of sliding by long | and constant practice. “I worked at it until sliding came as second nature to me. I would al- | ways slide in a game, slide when there was no occasion for it. I did | this so0 I would slide naturally. Near- !ing a base I would hit the dirt with- out thinking about it. I knew I | would not have time to think about |it. I learned to slide past flelders just as I would dodge around pedes- trians if running in the street. I would dodge around them without | pausing to make up my mind what ito do. I wanted to slide the same way, and I learned it. I slid auto- | matically, naturally. I first learned | the ordinary, orthodox slide into a | base. Then I decided I would have i to improve on that to get a bigger | percentage in running bases. I learned | to slide on the outside and hook my {toe In the corner of the bag as I passed. It took me a long time to learn it, for this slide required judg- ment of distance. Your take-off has to be right and your direction accur- ate. It means quick action. I learned to slide on the inside of the bag and ‘ever handled him the spot where the fielde: the throw.” He perfected other slides later on, his fadeaway and other variutions. _Infielders hee: Coblb’s slides, but to outguess him on r would take them in order to tag him was like | outguessing Christy Mathewson's de- Hvery 1o hit him. And then, one day, Cobb made a slide several feet cut side the inficlder. bag. The infielder lunged after him. Suddenly Cobb threw his body on the | outside, away from flelder, and touched the hand. He had invented another slid Few men have been as supple as Cobb. He seemed like Rudyard Kip- ling’s “Injla rubber ball.” He wase “qu a cat” Few infielders have successfully as a base runmer.

If the runner slides what's the result?

At the present time con- servation and wild life administration is not only in eeveral bureaus, but is divided up among two or three de- partments.
