superiority of a well developed ma
chine-like attack. Yale, too, show
ed something of the same kind. al
though on a lesser scale, against
Maryland. Cornell exhibited it
against Dartmouth. In two of these
games the weaker opponents with
great courage put up real fight.
To one who knew nothing Of the
teams it would have seemed that
both Rutgers and Maryland were
on their way to victory in the first
few minutes of play. But later form
and class began to tell and Lafay-
cite wore Rutgers down while
Yale simply swamped Maryland.
Coach Dobie's Ithaca crowd has
yet to find a team that can stop
Cornell with Eddie Kaw and Pfann
in the lineup.
The statement that Wilmington,
the old Harvard player, made in
Boston the night before the Prince
ton games, that there was a likeli-
hood of Harvard dropping the Ii
gers. stirred up a hornets net in
deed. Coupled with some of the
reports which earlier had eman-
ated from the Hub it made the
Princeton aggregation fighting
mad.
Pennsylvania State looks a bit
improved this week, as does SYRIA
cuse, but when William could beat
Lehigh % to 0, one wonders what
the South Bethlehem team will
suffer when it lines up against La
fayette. Columbia is showing an
improvement in method as she
proved against Middlebury. The
Baylor team when back to Texas
sadder but wiser from their defeat
by Boston college.
Evidently Brown is going tc
move heaven and earth to make
Harvard sorry. Brown has a very
strong team this year, especilly
forward. and it is matter Of his
tory how Brown teams fight OF
Soldiers Field.

New York. N. Y, Nov. 14.-Geor-
gia Tech versus Center. There is
no good reason why these two
should not meet.
Both are strong. Both enjoy ma
tional regulations and season after
season they rank with Auburn. not
only as the strongest teams in the
south but among the really fine
eleyens in the country.
The east has its traditional clas-
sizes. So has the west. 1t is high
time the south became equally
self-sufficient.
AS the situation now stands, the
one contest outlined with distinct
favor in the far south is the Thanks
giving day game between Tech and
Auburn. Center versus Tech. Tech
versus Georgia. Alabama versus
Auburn. All these are contests
that would merit national atten-
ton.
In the opinion of one Of the
greatest football minds in this
country Georgia Tech emphasizes
the attack almost to the exclusion
of defense. And yet he believes
that Techs passing game could be
further improved. He thinks the
element of deceit in overhead plays
and precision in throwing would
help a great deal.
With these matters attended to
he does not see why the Yellow
Jackets should not rate with the
very best teams in the country
year after year. He thinks that the
Tech line right now compares in
strength and enlightened play with
the forward walls Of any team that
may be named.
One point in the Princeton-Har-
ward game that many critics have
overlooked was the high quality OF
defense which each team interpos.
ed against the offense of the other

ly conceived about the. aerial of.

check it. In no case did a ball ar.

HORNSBY BEST
RIGHT HANDED

Hin. the Best of 1t in

New York, N. Y, Nov. Ire
vision OF the records of 1922, COM
pleted today, shows that Rogers
Hornsby not only led the batters
Of the National league and that he
was the best right-hand batter of
the year, but that he is one Of the
greatest right-hand hitters that
ever faced pitcher.
The left-hand batters have held
sway in the major leagues for a
long time and Hornsby's record is
a great triumph for the hitters who
stand on the third base side of
home plate.
Hornsby topped the National
league hitters with a percentage of
.401. That in itself is not a Ma
tional league record, but 1922 was
the first time that a right-hander
has held the National league cham
pionship since the days Of Dele
hanty. The latter led the National
in 1899 with .408. The best record
ever made in the older circuit was
made by a Highlander. Hugh
Duty made it in 1894 with .43S.
Hornsby made a new National
league home run record with ~
circuit clouts. which is far above
any total the league has boosted
in years. He hit safely $50 times,
which was seven more than the
largest previous total, made by
Willie Keller. He hit for 452 total
bases, which surpassed his own
record established in 1921 when he
topped previous marks. He hit
safely in 80 successive games. Five
times he made four hits in a sin
gle game. His two-baggers totaled
IS and four times he hit two home
runs in one game. He faced op-
posing pitchers more than coo times
during the season. $500.

The remarkable feature of last

of time out. Although Lauer was
injured early In the game, he gave
no hint of this and continued tc
play through the first half. Nc

BEING ANTICIPATED
Chicago Orchestra viii Put on "Moon-
light GIades" Dance Revue
at Carnival.

Everywhere is heard comments on
the coming appearance of the Chicago
Ladies' Sextette, that appears in Pen
sacola next Friday night in a dance
revue for the benefit of the carnival
Association. This standard ettrac-
ton will bring to the lovers of good
something just a little bit diff
ferent from the conventional dance.
They have appeared in numerous
large cities of the country, and their
visit to Pensacola for one night should
draw out large crowds. AS a feature
some special forms of entertainment
have been arranged. Mr.. Johnnie
Frenkle has essayed a willingness to
do some sort of feature with the sex
tette, and already has received a tele-
gram stating that this innovation will
be gladly acceded to. There will be
other features that will call for enter
tainment. The Moonlight Glades' is
the title of the dance revue, and the
combination of catchy dance music
of the latest type, and decorations
spotted with the rainbow colors of the
mystic dance, should bring out those
