all about 1t. Let's get to the other
things.
Football, for instance, didn't feel
the sting OF Mars one bit last fall.
The crowds were bigger and more
enthusiastic than ever before. Even
the minor games drew good-sised
crowds and the season wound up
with q record Of having scored the
biggest hit In the great college

scoring Witt and Boland. and Craw.
ford singled to right. again nlling

In the eighth Detroit made two

happened. Cobb's triple to right and
Crawford's homo run account for
this pair.

lined into his hands. Boone. who
had no idea that Tyrus was where
he shouldn't, ran like demon and
was easily doubled for the third out.
