From Cobb to Down
RumOrs

Detroit, November 1o-Printed reports
that Tyrus Cobb, the hard hitting center
fielder of the Detroit American League
Baseball club, was anxious to be traded
caused Frank ]. Navin, president of the
Detroit team, today to make public a
letter. from the champion batsman, in
which Cobb said he was anxious to play
in Detroit as long as the management
and public were willing to have him.
Cobb's letter also indicated that there
would be no dispute over the terms of
his 1914 contract. Last season he did not
sign until two weeks after the opening
game.
The letter from Cobb to Navin reads
in part:
II am entirely satisfied with conditions
and I want TO end my playing days in
Detroit. The fans have treated me fine
and / want to be loyal to my club
1.-THE understanding we reached pleased
me immensely and l will surely give

HAS NOT WON FROM
THE COMMODORES SINCE 1898
SIX TIMES HAVE THE ALABAMA
TIGERS STRIYED IN VAIN.
CHANGES FOR VICTORY ARE
BRIGHT
By j. ASA RouNTREE. JR.

Driving their men at top speed, Nc
Gugin at Vanderbilt and Donahue at
Auburn are strenuously preparing for the
premier struggle of the southern season,
which will be staged In Birmingham next
Saturday. The game will probably either
determine the southern championship or
play an important part IN the ultimate
ranking, and the rival coaches are MAX
ing preparations accordingly.
On one hand, the Alabama Tigers see
chance a we'll defined one, to gain n
long coveted victory, and they are earn
estly bending every effort 10 be in a con-
dition that will best enable them to.
On the other hand, the Commodores, al
most disheartened over misfortune after
misfortune, which has been encountered
are desperately preparing to to make one
last stand for the glory of Orange and
Black.
Present indications favors the Orange
and Blue aggregation and at last the
long cherished hope of Auburn followers
"a victory over the McGugin machine
seems near realization.
Not since 1898. when they first met on
the gridiron, has Auburn achieved a VIC
tory. In that year Auburn vanquished
the Commodores by a score of 80 to TO-
Since then the Tennesseans have emerged
from every game with the exception of
the one last year, when the score was q
tie, victor. Six times have the Ala
hama Tigers endeavored to wrest victory
from the naughty Commodore perch, but
each and every attempt was failure
In 1894, the year following Auburns first
and only victory, Vanderbilt won by a
score of 20 to 4. In 1895 Vandy barely
nosed out victory the score being to
4. From then until 1901 the two aggrega-
tions did not meet on the gridiron. In

is the most important task which Nc
Cormick faces, for both Gillespie and
Brandt are already upon the local pay
roll. If Jimmy has fully recovered
from the blow he received he would
undoubtedly be acceptable for the en-
tire season, and at any rate for the first
0 days. Mccormick needs another
-acking good HEAVIER, however, to open
lie schedule with. The passing of CO.
lleski will leave a great gap in the
\ iinging department and one that only
a star HEAVIER can fill.
Mccormick has at his command at
present Sommers, Kroh, Howell, and
Grimes, but che first named alone is

lar. Howell is young, though he shows
wonderful promise. while Kroh is at
times unreliable because of his habits
and health. Grimes may or may not
develop into a star HEAVIER.

Vanderbilt won, 40 to 0.
Football relations were again dropped
and 1t was not until 1905 that the two
eevens got together again. The defeat
this time was one of the most over

tanned, being 5i to 0. Following this an
other four years elapsed before the two
teams faced each other. In 1909 Auburn
succeeded in holding the towering cham
