OS ANGELES, January 4 —When one of the greatest base ball players of gll time plays golf he talks foot ball. Tyrus Raymond Cobb, the Geor- gia Peach, came to the first tee of the Los Angeles Country Club to join two fellow Georgians and a South Carolinian, all now living in the Far West, in a friendly foursome, “Well, well,” he boomed, in his best third-base coaching tones, “we Southerners certainly gave us Westerners a fine shellacking, didn't we?” One of the golfers wanted to talk about base ball and another about golf, but Ty for the moment was all for foot ball. “If this Dixie Howell is half the base ball player he is a foot baller, he’ll never have to worry about PLAYS WESTERN FIVE Massanutten Opens Basket B:'l Campaign Tomorrow.

Coach Burt Shipley of Maryland did not use his best team in Mary- land's losing game with West Vir- ginia Wednesday night at Cumber- land. Waters played only a few min- utes and Guckeyson did not perform at all. Shipley wished to take no chances of injuring the team'’s iead- ing scorers on the slippery dance floor at the armory in Maryland’s Queen City. In another game hereabout tonight Gallaudet will meet the Bolling Field quint on the Kendall Green court at 8 o'clock. HE Maryland-South Carolina and Gallaudet-Bolling Field matches mark the resumption of play for college teams of the District area, foliowing the holidays. Tomorrow night the George Wash- ington five will play host on the Tech High court to the Drake team, which is on an Eastern tour. Drake last night defeated Lehigh, 58-32. In another game tomorrow night Gallaudet will engage the Fort Meade tossers at the Maryland reservation. ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY'S drib- blers today were to work after a three-week layoff. The Cardi- nals are ppinting for their battle with the Western Maryland quint Wednes- day night at C. U. In another part of the big Brook- land gym, C. U.’s boxing squad was to hold forth, starting this afternoon. The Card glovemen are prepping for thier first meet of the season against Bucknell in the C. U. gym, Janu- ary 12. 5 Lively scraps for berths on the Card team loom, especially in the 155,165 and heavyweight classes. ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY'S sched- C uling of North Carolina State for a game in the Griffith Sta- dium next Thanksgiving day may be a ten-strike for the Brooklanders. The Raleigh eleven did not do much last Fall, but is said to have sufficient ma- terial from its freshman squad to make a successful team in the 1935 season. The Brooklanders may have here on turkey day one of the strongest elevens in the sectfon, an eleven with a string of victories behind it. It should be one of the best home games Catholic University has had in years. T IS not known what school George I Washington may play next Thanksgiving, if any. It was stated some time ago that Catholic University had been given the use of Griffith Stadium for the holiday contest. For the last three years George Washington has brought here big Middle Western elevens, Oklahoma twice and Kansas once. HE decisive victory Alabama won on the Pacific Coast seems to have caused a good deal of sur- prise, but just why, it is difficult to understand. Alabama’s team all through the season played brilliantly and ran up big scores against hard opposition. -Any time any eleven can whip Van- derbilt by 30 points, can beat Georgia Tech by 40 and run roughshod over some other strong squads, that eleven must be conceded real strength. Coaches familiar with Alabama and -knowing the kind of teams Alabama had been whipping, are not expressing ‘eny surprise at the size of the coast score. (Pemn e BOOKS TECH QUINTET.

Chrysler’s Answer to America’s Traffic Problem. See it Tomorrow OMORROW, PLYMOUTH ANNOUNCES 2 I revolutionary new high-speed safety car. An entirely new kind of automo- bile, engineered from the ground up, to meet modern traffic conditions. 1It’s a car built under the personal super- vision of Walter P. Chrysler to satisfy to- day’s critical need for safe transportation on congested highways and pedestrian- crowded streets. We’re traveling faster today. The aver- age speed on the road is 20 miles an hour faster than it was in 1925. Highways teem with traffic. b - You need speed. But speed alone is not enough. You need a car that is quick mov- ing and fast stopping. You need much easier control and quicker response. Nobody knows what the “other fellow” is going to do in traffic. And to guard against his possible carelessness, you need Conventional car (0) swaying around curve. New Plymouth (b)taking same curve,no sway. . greater protection than ever before . . . both for yourself and your passengers. That’s the problem Plymouth engineers set out to meet . . . many months ago. And they solved it by building this completely new kind of high-speed safety car. The ““‘Floating Ride’’; what it Does You’ve never before driven a car like this. It “glides” over the bumps and ruts. This new kind of “Floating Ride” is made possible by new, scientific weight distri- bution . . . the development of a new side- sway eliminator . . . and the use of new- type Mola Steel front springs. Technically, you ride at a lower “vibration rate.” Ac- tually, that means you don’t bounce and jounce around the way you used to. The new distribution of weight has been accomplished by placing the engine more directly over the front axle. The new-type springs reduce the oscillation frequency to 92 per minute, compared to 135 per minute in an ordinary car. The sway eliminator at the front keeps the car on an “even keel” at all times. .. gives you new safetyoncurves. New “double action” shock absorbers further improve Over and over, down a steep hill. For years Plymouth engineers have used this dramatic way of testing Plymouth’s All-Steel Bodies. This year’s Plymouth Body is even stronger. PLYMOUTH Woiits t-Low, The new 1935 Plymouth . . . world’s most beautiful low-priced car. The first car designed to mcet the Traffic Problem of today’s crowded highways.
