glance at an account of their fight of last Saturday. Battling against overwhelming odds, they held the Auburn Elainsmen to three touch downs.
 The Choctaws looked better in their last two home workouts than ever before. The line that held so well at Tulans has been greatly strengthened by the return of Hud son, a tackle of three years experl- ence. Laird, fast and heavy man. has been shifted to guard to make room for Hudson. On the other guard Tolar, fast, aggressive cen ter, has been placed. Captain Stuart handles the starboard tackle in great shape. With Berry and Bailey to cover the wing positions, the line is well nigh holeproof. The backs are developing great deceptive qralities and expect to puzzle the Partners with their bewildering attacks.
 Nearly the whole student body of 400 was at the station last night to give the Braves a rousing send-off. A leased wire from the field at Bir- mingham to the college chapel will convey the tide of battle to the waiting students.

CLINTON Miss. Oct. 12.-(Spe- cial)-The seventeen-man squad of Mississippi college Choctaws left here last night en route to Birming- ham for their clash with the Pan- thers of Birmingham college. The team, in charge of Coach George M. Bohler, left in excellent condition and fine spirits. The Indians expect to have short workout on the Pan ther gridiron this afternoon to put the finishing torches on their work of the week. The Choctaws are pre- pared for real battle tomorrow.
 The Partners have proven worthy opponents in times past and the In- dians go into the game with wary spirit.

McGraw's s Signal For Homer Was What Beat Tanks
By WEsTBROoK PEGLERs ,Lensed Wire To The Age-Herald)

NEW YORK, Oct. 12-From his dank corner in the shadows of the visitors trench, John McGraw gave a signal Friday afternoon, which won the third game of the world series for the Giants and placed them one up on the Yankees.
 Casey Stengel was hitting at the time.
 It Is we'll known, of course. that John McGraw gives a signal for every play made by his team at bat or in the field. To play ball for McGraw with blinker, heliograph, wig-wag and the international flag code, these sys- tems of communication being mingled in the McGraw system.
 He can sit on the bench and write you an insulting letter or a promis- sory note in the McGraw signal code by various manoeuverings of the stood, in fact, that his literary con- tributions to the store of human knowledge were dictated to his am- manuensis in this manner. McGraw developed crick in his shoulder blades spelling out some of the longer words, and the last few chapters of his recent book were imparted to the world only at the expense of intense suffering to the author. He spent most of his profits, in fact, having the injury treated in the old should CTS home. It was diagnosed as a species of writeps cramp in the shoulder blades.
 Cerebration is not the easiest task for most ball players and McGraw relied on the association of ideas to make his signal system as easy as possible for his men.
 Suppose, for instance, that McGraw suddenly sticks a foot in the water bucket. Amono baseball players it is considered social error to stick ones foot in the water bucket. When they see McGraw do it, the fntimation is instantly conveyed to them that he wants an error. Just the other day he rammed both feet in the water bucket and this double fault was an swered by Pep Young with two errors in the outfield.
 This may convey an idea of the easy simplicity. the deep significance and the impregnable mystery of the Me Graw signal system. An opposing player, seeing McGraw stick his foot into the water bucket. would merely say to himself: "Uh-ohi McGraw has stuck his whippet in the water bucket! Well, I'm glad it wasn't our water bucket!'
 Well, Casey Stengel was at bat in the seventh inning and Sam Jones was pitching to him. Stengel looked to the bench for his instructions and saw McGraw strike one of the}utility

Standing In Worlds Series Is Now Casey Stengel 2, Babe Ruth
 l, Other Giants And Yankees 0

last flare of his baseball life when he hit that homer in the ninth in- ming of the first game. That was all understood. But baseball players are kindly people and so. they were let ting Casey hobble around with the boys and pretend he was playing ball again as in the days of his bygone youth.
 Up to that terrible seventh Casey was playing nice and not hurting anyone nor getting in the road of the big boys. Then suddenly temptation overlook him. A ferocious expression twisted his features. He snarled like a wildcat and howled like a wolf. Then he reached out with his nice new bat and beat the Tanks again. He did it by banking the fourth ball pitched to him right on its new nose and knocking it clear over Babe Ruins head into the crowd in the right field bleachers.
 What a commotion. The Tanks stamped their feet and said so there! They wouldn't play with that rude boy any longer! The Giants cheered him. The Giants always were rough people and 1t Is their custom to en- courage members of their family in such acts of hoodlumism.
 The customers, to the tune of as iudHy tHouSdnQS as the park will hold, stood and expressed themselves variously, according to their sympa- this. Whatever their feelings they one and all made loud noises, and famed by the cheers and lamenta ttons from the scores of thousands of threats. Casey jogtrotted stiffly around the bags, capering occasion ally like the simple old child he really Is at heart, and turning now and then to thumb his aged nose at Babe Ruth, whose occupation as a home run hitter he had stolen.
 Of course it was only one run that Stengel accounted for, but that was enough to win the affair, and the world series now stands as follows:
 Babe Ruth-One game
 Casey Stengel-Two games.
 Other members of both Tanks and Giants-0.

BABE RUTH HELD IN CHECK BY ART
 NEHF'S DELIVERY

NEW YORK, Oct. 12-(By Asso- ciated Press.)-George Herman Ruth, the busting Bambino. who won the second game of the current worlds series, for the New York Yankees, was held in check today by the pug zling pitching of Arthur Nehf, Giant sorthpaw, in the two opportunities he had to hit.
 Ruth went to the plate four times but was credited with only two times at bat" as he walked on the other occasions. He got one hit, a single. in the first that gave him an average of .5o0 for the day. He struck out on his other trip.
 Hit batting record for the day:
 First inning: Two down. After taking two balls. Ruth swung twice and missed. but he connected with the fifth ball and drove 1t to center for single. He died on first, as Meusel filed out.
 Fourth inning: Dugan, first man up, doubled to right and Ruth was walked on} four wide pitches but both were defunct when Meusel hit into a double play.
 Sixth inning: Two down. Ruth watched a ball float by then swung and missed. Nehf's third pitch was a ball. but the fourth Babe nicked for 8 foul. After watching third ball sail by, Ruth overlooked what Umpire Nallin called a strike. Think Ing 1t was a ball he started to jog down to first and then turned, took off his cap and scratched his head but said nothing.
 Eighth inning: Hoffman failed in pinch hitting for Jones. Witt sin gled but was trapped at second on a fielder's choice. With Dugan on first, Ruth was walked against his will. After three balls had been called he swung at the fourth, also wide and fouled 1t. but the next pitch was beyond his reGch. Both he and Dugan were left on base when Meusel flied out.

GIANTS TAKE LEAD AGAIN N WORLDS SERIES BY WINNING TO
MICHIGAN READY
 FOR VANDERBILT

ANN ARBoR, Mich, Oct 12.-Al- though Michigan's need for scrim- mage practice seemed apparent at the beginning of the week, Coach Yost decided to eliminate rough work and consequently the team will meet Van derbilt tomorrow without single hard test since the Case game. The team yesterday spent time informing, practicing tackling, and finally went on the field for secret practice and trying out new plans.
 The men have been drilled during the week breaking up the reported strong offensive plays of the south erners, dished up by the reserves.
 The line up tomorrow is expected to be much the same as against Case with Slaughter at guard and Meisch at end as the only contemplated changes.
 The Vanderbilt team, accompanied by about 500 rooters, is expected to arrive here today

OUR Department

There is a tendency among the
students of the high school to whis-
per among themselves in the assem-
bly,, and otherwise raise disturb
ance This is a very bad habit to ac-
quire, because it will result in a
ninth period and consequently low

1t is the one rule of the high school
that if student has an average of
ninety in any subject, he is eligible
10 exemption from the semester test
in that subject. 1t also requires an
average of ninety in department for
exemption.
Last year a number of the pupils
were disappointed in not being ex-
empted merely because they had a
low mark in department. Why not
reduce that number by keeping up
our department?

SENIORS REPLY

Our seniors are surprised and sor-
ry to learn through an article writ
ten by Miss Mary Lee Morton that
they are "puffed up" She says that
they are the very same Junior Glass
with the new name of Senior and
they are so proud of themselves that
you would hardly know them. Miss
Morton didn't have the distinction
of knowing us last year when we
were meek little Juniors, but, never
theless, she seems to detect great
difference in our attitude toward the
rest of the school.
Proud of ourselves? We'll and
maybe we have a reason 20 be. Just
wait until next year and perhaps
you, also, will have reason to be
proud Perhaps?
1t was said that last year the name
of Junior satisfied us and 50 1t did,
though no more nor less than the
name of Senior satisfies us now, but
we were merely content to be called
Juniors till we had chance to work
our way to higher plane. We are
aware, of course, that several of
you could have been jealousy helped
to promote the article referred to.
They are extremely put out even
If Junior speaks to them let alone
a Sophomore or Freshman" runs the
article. Surely none of us feel this
way about 1t because there are none
of us but who have enough to do to
keep ourselves sufficiently occupied
so that it is unnecessary for us to
bother with such trivialities. Not
that we are stuck up, but like most
people, we are interested only in
what is attractive and interesting
enough to draw ones attention. Get
that, Juniors?
I'VE act as though we were the
only Senior Glass the M. H. II. S. ever
had" do we? And there will be
plenty more Senior Glasses in the
future?" Well we sincerely hope that
M. H. H. S. will have Senior class
next year, but as little bit OF
friendly advice, may we not say that
our much coveted prestige as possess
sors of the name of Senior was not
won by idling away our time with
writing lengthy adverse criticisms

MIR. NIxoNS SPEECH

Mr.. Nixon addressed the assembly
Tuesday morning. One of the topics
of his speech was to get started right.
Many pupils failed because they have
wasted their time at the first of the
year he started.
Another of his topics was to make
the most of our surroundings and not
wishing for things we do not have
or never will have One of the best
scholars Mr.. Nixon ever knew lived
out in the country and walked four
miles to school every morning. He
had very poor parents and he worked
at home when he was not at school.
The rest of the talk was along very
instructive and helpful line.

so far as we are strong enough to

Intercollegiate Rules regarding all
phases of athletics were adopted. An

on and it was specified further that
they must be obtained from out-of-
town.
Most of the time was taken I'D for
football as the season for that sport
is now about to begin. In as much
as we do not deem it wise to partiei-

She measured out the butter,
With a very solemn air,
With the milk and sugar also,
She took the greatest care
To count the eggs correctly
And add a little bit
OF baking powder, which you know
Beginners oft omit.
Then she stirred it all together
And baked it for an hour,
But she never quite forgave herself
For leaving out the flower.
