Ty Cobb, Jr., VIII
Enter Princeton

The name of Cobb in the near
future will probably help to up
hold the traditions of Princeton.
Ty Cobb, r., son of the great
and only Tyrus, plans to enter
Princeton. He aspires to shine
as pitcher.
This will be good news to the
Tiger athletic authorities as a
Cobb in baseball means some
thing. His ambition to so shine
is not surprising since Ty, ST..
always worked out at pitching
in practice and says he should
have tried twirling instead OF
outfielding.
Blod will tell and it looks as il
the Blue of Yale and the Crimson
Of Harvard will have something
to worry about when Cobb is
announced as the Princeton
pitcher.

MOTORIST MUMBLNGS

The busy shopping days have
brought out the parking hogs
1T is a common sight along Kansas
avenue to see ain empty motor car
standing in the street directly behind
three or four cars headed in to the
curb.
The driver who leaves his car vio-
lates all traffic rules. He endangers
regular street traffic, he blocks in
the cars at the curb and he is a mem
ace to life and limb.
The police should spare no inflic-
tions on persons who are too indolent
to find a parking place for their mo-
tor cars and who leave them in the
street in this manner.
The parking limit ruling became
so unpopular that it practically ceased
enforcement but there should be no
mercy spared to the street hogs who
create a double line of parked cars
on Kansas avenue.
Meanwhile don't forget to sound a
signal before backing from a curbing
