slightly oval form, and those who have
been speculating as to Ty Cobb Is

The lid will be officially pried off
two weeks from today when Coach Kel-

A week later the big universities OF
the east and west swing into action and

bart; the University Of Pennsylvania
with the University Of West Virginia,
and the Yale crowd mixes with the Uni
versity at New Haven. !.

the east and west had the Yale-Notre
Dame and the Harvard-Michigan bat
