"Bullo" Williams, who has been out of the game for two weeks, due ito an attack of tonsilitis, will be unable to play Friday and Yielding will start at the half left vacant by Williams.
 Farr At FulIback
 Captain Farr, who smashed the Chat tanooga line last Saturday, will start the game at fullback and will probably prove a hard men for the s. P. U. eleven to check. Black will also give the Tigers quite a bit of trouble, it is figured.
 The Panthers loaned their jerseys to the Rats during the past week and the Freshmen took a walloping from How ard. The Varsity will don their jer- seys and go forth to break the jinx of the Rats before having their togs washed up nice and clean for the Howard game. Manager Frank Yielding sent the sweat shirts through gruelling encounter at the laundry this week but held up on the numbered sweaters until the Varsity broke the two-loss casualty suffered by the wearers of the golden shirts, the Chattanooga Mocassins hay ing beaten the varsity in the same jer- seys last Saturday.
 The remainder of the squad to make the trip with Coach Jess Medley to the Magic City Thursday were Myrick, Baker, Thompson, Kembah, Moore and Cornell.

Southwestern Presbyterian univers- ity's Tigers arrived Thursday night over the Pan-American for their game Fri day afternoon at 2 80 o'clock at Nun. ger, Bowl with the Birmingham-Souther :Panthers. The S. P. U. squad is in good shape for the game and will pre- eleven with crack punter.
 The team will slightly underweigh Birmingham-Southern but has demon strated in past games that it is capable of holding teams of higher rating to very close score. The Sewanee Tiger had trouble in conquering the Preds in their own bailiwick on the Mountain and won by the small score of to o. The Millsaps eleven won from s. P. U. by lone touchdown, also, 6 to O, while Ole Miss defeated the Tennessee Presbyterian eleven also by single counter, z to 0. The Preds walloped Ogden college by large score and has defeated several other Kentucky col leges this season.

 BERRY ELEVEN
Reform Team Has Perfect Record-Bids For The
 State Title

REFORM, Ala, Nov. 13.-(Special.) The Red and Black Warriors of Pick ems county high will play their last game here this season when the Berry high eleven meets the locals on Graham field Friday afternoon in the feature prep battle of West Alabama ana ln what is expected to be the most bitter lv fought encounter on the local grid iron this year. Reports coming into the camp of Pickens give Berry strong segregation. Although having onened the season with a slow start, the eleven from Lamar county has, slowly but surely crept into great form and ia wading through their schedule in wbirl-wind fashion. This will mark the first appearance of Berry high on any schedule ever attempted by the Tigers.
 Should Pickens trot off the field vic torius in the Berry game Friday and ln the Albertville game scheduled TOT Thanksgiving in Albertville, the locals will have strong bid for the state championship, having a 14-12 verdict ever the Back Bears of Tuscaloosa high and victories over two former Mlssls- sippi state title holders. 10 date flck- ems has a string of six consecutive wins without defeat, including 156 points scored aganist the six fallen victims, and having registered 102 first downs for an average of seventeen first downs each game.
 Coach Jackson took no chances of getting the small end of the score Fri day and sent his charges through stiff workouts during this week, easing up Thursday afternoon with long signal drill. Injuries during this weeks prac- tice will severely handicap Coach Jack son, having several varsity men on the hospital list, It is probable that Pat terson will call signals replacing Simp- son who has generated the locals thus far from fullback position. Other back field berths will likely be filled by Captain Cox and Noand, while Jones, Hildreth, Berry, Mayors, Shepherd, Will son and J. Langdon will draw the open ing assignments in the line. Reports have it that the Pickens eleven is heavy, but as figures show, the above starting lineup will average only 152 pounds. =" /

SOUTHERN GIANTS GET INTO ACTION Georgia-Auburn, Tech Vandy, 'Bama-Centre
 Feature

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 13.-Southern football giants are ready for the thun- dering march down the home stretch that will take place with Saturdays struggles.
 Leaders in general of the major elev- ems have a big afternoon mapped out touches on the week of training before preparing to shift to the scenes of bat tie. ..no
 Columbus, Ga., will be the gathering place of the most ancient of foes when the University of Georgia Bulldogs, un- defeated in the conference and with only one-point margin loss at the hands of Yale, tie up with Auburn's bowling Tigers.
 To maintain the joint lead with the University of Alabama, Georgia must dispose of Auburn with a clear cut victory and to this end Coach Wood ruff of the Bulldogs today had his var sity becoming familiar with Tiger plays. The Freshmen were running Auburn formations against the first string men, to little avail.
 Out For Revenge
 Reports from the little Alabama col lege town are to the effect that Au- burn, too, is preparing; we'll for the twenty-ninth meeting with the Geor, gians, which they hope to grab off and thus regain prestige lost last fall when Day, star center of the Bulldogs, in- tercepted a pass and ran 65 yards for touchdown that meant victory for his team. s
 Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt, like wise, are planning a big afternoon De- tween the Yellow Jackets and the Com modores, on Grant field here. After layoff of several years in gridiron rela- tions. both are anxious to annex vic tory and predictions are that lively melee will ensue with dope at logger heads.
 Victories last Saturday over confer ence opponents in decisive manner by both teams show that they are In line condition and pointed for their meet ing here. Coach Alexander of Tech is planning to send his best lineup of the year in an effort to hold the Commo- dores while his offensive will be built around Douglas Wycoff, scintillating fullback.
 'Bama Has Tough Foe
 Alabama unversity's powerful Crim- son Tide gets an opponent of consider able ability in Centre college in their assignment for Birmingham and while the Red team will start the game top heavy favorites, Covington and his mates will bear watching.
 The Crimson is leading the nation in points scored and will depend largely on the line-crossing quartet-Hubert, Gillis, Brown and Rosenfeld-to out score the Prayin' Colonels in their first relations on the football field. The latter two, Alabama's human rabbits" have in every game of the season broken away for long touchdown jaunts.

FAYETTE OUTFIT
 IS UNDEFEATED

FAYETTE, Ala, Nov. 13-(Special) ) By virtue of taking a bitterly fought game from the Marion county high a week ago on Kenny field, the Fayette county high is making a strong bid for the championship in north Alabama. Although Marion high has been success full in every contest of the season, they were forced to fall before the bewilder- ing and rushing attack of the Fayette Tigers.
 After opening his second year as coach and director of atheletics, Coach Scott saw that graduation had carried with it the football eleven. There were left but six letter men of 1923, but he has built up a splendid team from avail able green material, and is now running them into the strongest football team ever turned out in Fayette.

BY H. G. SALSLINGER


 BY H. G. SALSLINGER TINY COBB'S meteoric career got its
 real start under Hughie Jennings
 fn 1907. In that season he gained the batting championship of the Amer ican League with an average Of .5oV. He held the title for nine consecutive seasons.
 But. what is more important to the history of base ball, is that Cobb began inc revolution of base ball in 1907. He introduced a new style of batting and base running. Others copied him and the result was that the attack of the game was gradually changed. To meet this attack the fielders had to change the defense, a natural result. So, be- cause of the innovations that Cobb brought into play, Mttingi fielding and base-running underWent change.
 At that time mast of the players still considered Cobb morning glory" and flash in the pan" Cobb was in troducing new ideas and base ball loves the conventional. Ball players are the most orthodox of athletes and the most suspicious of new ideas. They explained Cobb's success by calling it luck and added "the luck of carZy man." The veterans of the game disliked his style of play and could not see why peo- ple took a fancy to it. As Cobb's star rose they became insanely jealous of his success. They belittled him wherever possible and sought to discount his ef- forts. But they failed to stop him on the field.
 In The Anvil Chorus
 Even as wise a base ball man as old Bill Donovan said Cobb would not re- neat. at the close of the 1907 season when Cobb had electrified the nation.
 He won't finish in the league next year." said Bill, who had befriended the boy on many occasions. "He plays contrary to all base ball law and he won't last. He can't. He's wild man. Next year they will just throw the ball to the home plate and wait for him to dash around to it. These freak players never last because they go contrary to the law" .~
 But Bill did not understand; very few did. Cobb was not going contrary to the laws of the game-he was creat- ing new laws. He was making over nations sport.
 To batter his way to the top of the batting averages was heavy task. Cobb had two men in his own league who stood eminent as batsmen. One of these was his teammate, Samuel Crawford, the former barber of Wahoo, Neb., known in base ball circles as "Wahoo Sam" Another batting leader was Napoleon Lajoie, the former cab driver of Woonsocket, R. l., known as Larry" and "The Frenchman." The third mem Der of the leading trio was not in Cobb's

1000 COAL MINERS
In FERNIE, B. C.
Act Means the Fiercest
Privation This Winter
Especial to The paiIy Workorl

Especial to The Daily Workerl
,FERNIE, B. c., Nov. 30.-The Crows
Nest Pass Coal Co has issued orders
closing down the mines here and lock-
ing out the workers The company's
announcement cites failure to retrieve
sufficient business to continue opera
ton, but the shutdown is merely a
method Of lockout handled in the
kidglove manner.
The winter will bring restitution to
many Fernie miners and their fimiIies.
Preceding the lockout by the company,
the failure Of the Home Bank of
Canada, which had branch at Fernie
and in which many of the Fernie
miners lost their savings, was a
severe blow. The closing down means
complete ruin to many workers in
these parts.
Fernie is the largest camp in Dis
trict Is, having about 1000 miners. In
the past the Fernie miners have been
noted for their militancy and the
ready support they have extended to
other workers in their struggles.
The lockout shows to what an ex-
tent the operators can go now that
the district is led by creatures of
John L. Lewis who signed an agree
ment accepting a reduction of $1.17
a day, after a seven month strike, in
spite of the opposition Of the rank
