N difference renee there 2sf IS in the aa' s. ass,
ness, the fighting spirit and the
capacity for suffering between the pro-
fessiona1 baseball player and the col
lege football player
Whenever a baseball player con

to take about four weeks lay-off until

Peck, the brilliant aIl-American center
OF the University OF Pittsburg eleven.
During the PittsburE-W ashingtou
and Jefferson game in 1918. Peck, who
then was playing in the halfback posi-
ton. was injured. He was in terrible
pain for many hours after the accident,
but he refused 10 let the doctors ex-
anime the leg, fearing that the injury
really was serious and that the doctors
would order him to the hospital.
Decided Limp in Leg.
Peck insisted upon playing in the
game the following Saturday and played
every Saturday until the end Of the sea
son, but he was handicapped in mis-
speed by q decided limp in his right
leg.
When the Pittsburg gridiron warriors
assembled for training in 1914 coach
Joe Duff decided that Peck wouldn't
do as a halfback- His leg continued to
pain him and he had TO humor it. He
tried to walk without 4 limp so that
the coaches would give him a Job on
the eleYen-but Duff noticed the limp
Peck Is fiery. fearless player. and
one whose aggressiveness helped
greatly in keeping up the spirits Of his
fellows. Duff didn't want TO lose him
so he tried him out at center, where
speed is not SO essential. and despite
the handicap OF an ailing leg he ranked
as the greatest all-arOund center in the
country At the end OF the 1914 season.
When the 1915 season began Peck
was back at center for Pittsburg. and
II was his brilliant playing that aided
the Pitt eleven in winning its eight

OF the Cornell matmen. who has made
a phenomenal record in this important
branch Of sports has 100 candidates
working out in his attempt to develop
a team which viii capture another in
tercollesiate championship.
Cornell has won the wrestling title
four times in succession and is natur-
ally anxious to repeat this year, but
owing to the loss OF some mighty good
veteran material. the coach faces a diff
ficult task
Cornell won the meet at South Beth
lehem last year by scoring - points to
10 by Lehigh, Is each by Princeton.
and Pennsylvania and four by Column

gate championship in the 15s-pound
class, and z. J. Culbertson. winner OF

A singular feature OF the Cornell
wrestling success is that Walter O'Cou-

confession. This was continued until
at last, in desperation for the want OF
sleep, she did confess in order to Sc
cure necessary rest. This confession
constituted the chief evidence of the
state The Judge instructed the jury
that a confession obtained by force
should be ignored, and as there was
no other convicting evidence, the
jury brought in a not guilty verdict.
The third degree system is brutal.
More than this. it should not be re-
lied upon, because there is no proof
that confession thus obtained Is
sincere. The mere fact that wom-
an locked In dark cell with rat,
through fear, confesses Is not substan-
tial proof. Under such conditions, a
woman will confess to almost any
thing whether she Is guilty or not.
A common police error Is the sup
position that the police must fasten
the guilt on some one. The police are
theoretically servants of the law and
upholders OF justice. In practice, they
are too often concerned more in their
regulations than for the distractions
Of justice.
