CARNEGIE IS AFTER
NOTRE DAME SCALP

PITTSBURGH, November 29.-The
Tartan eleven from Carnegie Insti-
tute of Technology at Forbes Field
today will attempt what all other
teams SO far this season found i'm
possib1e-the defeat or tying of Notre
Dame.
Knute Rockne's squad will enter
the fray under handicap. THE four
horsemen." famed Notre Dame back
field. will be deprived of one of it's
members, as Coach Rockne announced
that Elmer Layden would not be
used. Layden suffered a strained
ligament in the game with North
western a week ago and Carney will
be used to fill the gap in the quartet,
Rockne said. Nevertheless, Notre
Dame enters the fight big favorite.
although the Tartans profess the
utmost confidence that their gridiron
warriors will give the Rockne squad
one of its toughest scraps of the sea-
son.
Both teams were given their final
workouts yesterday. Rockne pro-
nounced his men in excellent condi-
ton and Coach Steffin of the Tartans
said that number of his stars
who had been on the hospital list a
week or more would be in the line
up. Today's game will mark the
passing from gridiron history of New
man. captain. and liable. two of Car
negie's stars, who will be graduated
from the institute al the close of
this term
The largest crowd Of the season is
expected TO pack the stands Of the
home of the Pirates, officials declare,
on the basis of advance ticket sales.

the spot where the fielder would take
the throw"
He perfected other slides later on,
his fadeaway and other variations.
inheiders became acquainted with
Cobbs slides, but to outguess him on
them III order to tag him was like
outsuessing Christy NIathewson's de-
Cobo made a slide several feet out
side the fnielder. He slid past the
bag. The infielder lunged after him.
Suddenly Cobb threw his body on the
outside, away from the pursuing
fielder, and touched the bag with his
hand He had invented another slide.
Few men have been as supple as
Cobb. He seemed like Rudyard Kip
lings "1njia rubber ball" He was
quick as a cat" Few infielders have
ever handled him successfully as a
base runner. There never was an
other man as difficult TO tag.
Cobb introduced the method Of slid
ing to first. He started doing this
on close plays. That was another one
of Cobb's innovations that seemed
foolish to his profession. at first, but
cobb had his own intelligent reason
for It,
With runner crossing first in an
upright position, the umpircs has the
runner and tho ball in the same line
OF vision. If the runner slides what's
the result? II the ball is coming to
the hrst baseman waisthigh, as 1t
generally is, or higher. the umpire
has to look at the ball and then
change his line of vision and look
down at the runner. He loses either
ths runner or the ball: he can't see
both at the Same instant. And If the
throw Is low the runner sliding will
raise a cloud of dust that prevents
the umpire seeing the ball"
The majority of players now slide
into first on close plays.

However, on the outgoing nine holes I

the final nine holes in sc to even tie the

!. |. FINALLY AGREES
TO MODIFIED DRAFT

NEW YORK, November 29.-The L.
ternational Base Ball League gave W
an eight-year fight against the major
leagues when it unanimously adopted
a it's annual meeting here the modi-
fed form of the draft similar to tn
one in operation in the Pacific Coasl
and American Association leagues
last seaGon.
Jack Dunn, manager of the six
time Baltimore champions, who has
been one of the most bitter opponents
of the draft, was wheeled into line by
the other delegates in what was
termed by President John Conway
Toole as one of the briefest and most
peaceful meetings in the leagues his
tory.
Under the terms of the modiiitd
draft a team may take optional play
ers and players by sales agreement
from major league teams under a coz
tract containing a provision that only
players SO acquired shall be subject
to selection in the draft. All other
players are immune from the draf1
Under the existing major league
agreement, each big league club can
send eight players to a class AA club,
which gives International League
clubs an Offering of 12s players If tn.
maximum number was sent to them.

Players taken by option or purchased
can be recalled or repurchased by tho
major league club sending them 10
the International League on or be
fore September 10 of the current sea
son. After that date the combined
major leagues can draft only ono
player from each international
League club through drawing sys-
tenn.
Another important change in the
league rules calls for a 154-game
program in 1925, instead Of the Gus
tomary 16sgamc schedule. The 1929
season will open on April Is and close
September 90. President Toole will
make up the schedule and submit lit
to a special meeting Of the league In
Toronto, February 10.

leagues. was deferred until the meet
ing of the league i'll Hartford, Conu..
next Tuesday.
The method of assessment for meet
ing the leagues expenses was also
changed at the meeting from q
per capita system TO a regular assess
ment system regulated by the prcsi-
dent of the league.

champion again, even If tho crowds

thinks that fairies put it there, and the
