TY COBB HAS A FIGHT
WITH INSULTING FAN

Los ANGELES. Nov. 1S.-Ty Cobb
broke even here yesterday. He lost
ball game To Vernon, to 3, ana
then won a fist fight by proxy.
In the seventh, after Ty had been
up for the third time without getting
hit. bird in the right field bleacn
ers called him yellow bum. This
caused Tvs hot Southern democratic
blood to circulate fiercely even ON a
cold day, and he made bee line Cor
the bleachers.
Standing In front Of them he en-.
deavored In vain 10 locate the gent
who had been hurting verbal brick
hats at him.
Ty then went on about his business
in center field. But another bird in
the bleachers had the offender spot
ted, and at the finish of the gam
soaked him squarely on the nose.
Thus was the fight won and Tvs
honor indicated.

Harvard ought to cover the Yale
passes with comparative ease. Though,
OF course, Blair, Yale's best receiver.
did not play against Princeton and
will be i'm shape for the Harvard game.
I understand Blair Is a great man on
catching a forward pass. He IL six
feet three inches, and dangerous at all
times. But even at that, look TO see
Harvard stop the Yale passes better
than Yale will stop Harvard's.
Will Worry Ellis.
In the second half OF the Princeton
game, Yale's forward passing defense
improved. but Princeton also com,
pleted several for substantial gains.
We made the mistake In the second
half of not utilizing our running game
to a great extent. IL Harvard will
maintain a balance between passing
and rushing they will worry the Yale
backs, especially on the flat passes
near the line of scrimmage.
In kicking, there Is little to choose
except that O'Hearn is 100 per cent
better running back punts in an open
field than Buell., and here Yale will
have a distinct advantage.
When consider the effect OF
the Princeton game on Tale and
Harvard. ] feel that here Harvard
will have an advantage. They so into
the game the under dog. The Yale
team cannot but be a little overconfi-
dent after their splendid showing
against Princeton. And while the Ellis
looked in good condition when they
went off the field this game has taken
something out OF them.
r Princeton played eleven men
against the Crimson. and they APP
parently finished stronger than they
started But when we took account
of stock Sunday, we found that Witt
mer had torn the ligaments in his
knee pretty badly, which injury kept
him in bed until Thursday, and eN-
cept for his magnificent courage and
grit, would have kept him out OF the
Yale game entirely.
Keck broke blood vessel above his
knee Joint. which was a very painful
injury, and he stayed in bed until
Thursday. CIeaves damned his shout.
der and Baker did the same thing.
Possibly Yale has been more fos,
tunate, but no team can come out of a
game as holly contested as the Prince
ton-Yale game and not feel the ef-
fects of il. and the New Iavenitss
will show it Saturday. or ] am far
from my guess. | venture to predict
that anyone who thinks this game il
going to be an easy one for the Ellis is
going to be greatly mistaken.

New Plan Will Stop
Talk OF Clique

In response to the demand that
the controlling body of golf should
be less local and more in touch
with outside organization. the
Royal and Ancient Golf Club of
st. Andrews unanimously voted
that the golf committee should &C
cept representatives of the differ
ent sections throughout the Brit
ish Kingdom to serve on this COM
mittee instead of having it

This decision to include outsiders
on the committee Is expected to
do away with the charges that the

Harvard has had an opportunity to
see Yale play, and Yale has had equal
opportunity to see the Crimson. l
don't imagine Fisher or Tad" Jones
held much back in their respective
games against Princeton.-.so both
rivals know pretty thoroughly what
they have to expect.
In analyzing the offensive strength
OF both teams. would say Harvard
has better forward passing attack
than Yale. Their passes are much
better masked and used with much
more deception. The Harvard rushing
game is good-probably just as strong
as Yale's inside of tackle--as l think
Owen Is a better line plunger than
Jordan.
Aldrich Is Dangerous.
Aldrich, off tackle on kick forma-
ton and around the end, is dangerous.
The Yale captain runs as hard as any
back i have seen and gains ground
more through his individual brilliancy
than the character Of his interference
or the deception used In the play.
i don't by any means think 1t Is inn
possible to stop Aldrich, and If Har-
ward succeeds in doing this, ii will
have stopped the major part of Yale
attack, with the exception of O'Hearn,
who hlkes forward pass and runs
rather cleverly around the 9th r end.
/ admit Aldrich gained a great deal
of ground against Princeton off
tackle and around the end. and in
giving my reasons why l think 1t is
perfectly possible for Harvard 10
check these plays, | don't want to APP
pear to be offering any alibles OF eX.
cuses for Princeton's failure TO do so.
n ,a..l. .x1nr N n a.
nize the Yale captains great run
Ming strength. These, however, are
the cold. stark facts.
Princeton kicked off to Yale. Ed
Stinson made a beautiful tackle well
down the field, and in doing so got
a crack on the head. After this play,
we kept Stinson i'm for three or four
downs during which time II was con-
clusively shown that the blow had
put him clearly out of his head and
that he bad no idea Of what was go
ing on. During the time Stinson was
in the game, Aldrich made several
big gains at the Princeton right end.
Rutan Broke Shoulder.
Later in the game. Aldrich ran Oft
the Princeton left tackle for repeated
gains, and II later became known that
Frank Rutan, The Princeton left
tackle, had broken his shoulder dur
ing one of these rushes and with the
stark heroism so often exhibited on
the football field, refused to say any.
thing about 1t, and, in fact. disguised
|, his injury for several plays.
The question to be decided in the
Harvard clash is. will Aldrich repeat
against the Crimson or will he not?
Whenever Aldrich is back in the kick
L., o..I I. .
watch him most carefully no matter
who gets the ball first, and if they
are able to blanket him. Gale's best
asset will be gone.
Yale's close running attack without
the aid of Aldrich and O'Hearn to
advance the ball materially cannot in
my opinion score against Harvard. The
Harvard coaches know perfectly well
what plays Aldrich Is strong on and
what plays O'Hearn will perform in,
and it il just a question whether the
Harvard ends can do the job that has
been laid out for them.

EAST MOLINE PLAN
TO HAVE TWO NEW
FACES IN COUNCIL

A special meeting Of the city
council of East Moline will be held
in the council chambers of East
Moline tonight to rearrange the
city into wards.
Someone discovered on the state
statutes that all cities exceeding
5000 population must have 10 al
dermen, and as the city up to the
present time has only had eight al
dermen, it was decided to call a
special meeting of the council and
redistrict the city.
Just who is responsible for the
discovery Of the hitherto unknown
law is not known, but several Off
Gals Of the city have consulted law
books and find that 10 aldermen
are required for a city the size Of
East Moline.
The manner in which the coun-
Gil will rearrange the city is not
known, but the plan that seems to
meet with the favor of most of
the councilmen is the making of a
new ward of the hill district. How
ever. nothing can be said in regard
to this arrangement, and tonight's
council meeting is necessary to de-
eide the question.
