INDIANA BEATS
 OHIO STATE, 12-7
Buckeyes Are Knocked From
 Running For Conference Title

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. S.-Indiana, changing from her regular crimson jer- seys to black ones, cast a dark and dis astrous cloud over Ohio states western conference championship aspirations to- day when she unexpectedly set the Buck eyes down on the short end of 12 to z score.
 The first half of the game was list less affair, marked only by the exceed ingly poor bunting of both teams. With the beginning of the second half, how ever, the contest took on a tinge of a real fight and within eight minutes In- diana had scored more points upon Ohio State than the rest of the Buckeye opponents had been able to amass all year.
 Marks, outstanding star of the game, scored both Indiana touchdowns, making his first one after receiving a toss from Salmi while only four yards from the goal line and registering the second on the longest run made in the Ohio stadium this season, carrying the oval 56 yards. This score was made on the first play after an Ohio State back had fumbled an Indiana punt, Indiana re- covering.
 Klee scored the Buckeyes lone touch down when he received a double pass from Wendler on the seven yard line.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. S.-(Spe- cial. )-Holding the Mississippi Aggies without first down and to total ad- vance of less than 20 yards in the game, Vanderbilt smashed their way to three-touchdown margin on a muddy field here today.
 Reese's brilliant running despite the slippery footing and Tom Ryan's plung- ing battered the Aggies into submission. They only twice reached midfield and as results of punts and were unable to advance. Bop Rives covered himself with glory on the defense and per mitted Aggie backs to bring 17 kicks back for less than 10 yards.
 Reese brought punt through the entire Aggie team with an amazing run in the first period for 54 yards and touchdown for the first score. He broke loose for 8, g and q yards short ly after the next kickoff ind Ryan plunged the ball over. The third score came as the result of blocked kick and a 25 yard march over the goal line with Ryan plunging repeatedly for gains. Ryan plunged the line for Q total of 104 yards from scrimmage and kicked sensationally despite the heavy slippery ball.
 Reese Runs Wild
 vanderbilt's line charged the Aggies off their feet and smashed their plays back without gains on almost every effort. Reese hauled back Aggie kicks for 104 yards, including the 54 yards to a touchdown. His twisting, whirl- ing, elusive, running was impaired by the slippery footing, yet he gained over 100 yards for scrimmaging during the battle.
 Mayfiela was also brilliant star on the defense at end and called signals from the flank in the absence of the regular quarters. He was covered closely on the punts but gave Rives a chance to cover himself with glory.
 The Aggies had little chance to star. The Commodores had the ball for the greater portion of the game and the play was almost exclusively in Missis- sippi territory.

BAYLOR MIDGETS
 DEFEAT SIMPSON
Webb's Eleven Outplays Moo
 gans In Fourth Period

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. B. Especial. )-Simpson Midgets were de- feated by Baylor Midgets, 2S to z by a pretty running attack. The Baylor team swept the Simpson Midgets off of their feet for three periods. In the last period Simpson found themselves and far surpassed their conquerers.
 The winers scored twice, in the first quarter, once in the second and one in the third. Simpson scored twice in the last period, being called back on one for alleged stepping out of bounds.
 The good interference and running of the entire Baylor backfield was the feature for the winers. The defensive work of Captain Lewis Miller and Glass and the neat run for touchdown by Green, stood out for the Simpson team.

Wagner took off his shoes and would play in his stocking feet. He would dig little trenches around the shortstop and he would set himself in these trenches in his stocking feet. You see that gave him a chance to start quicker. He couldn't slip while he was stand= ing in those little trenches. He kept this up for weeks and they couldn't t figure out what made the infieid 30 rough around short until one day one of the players happened to come to the park early and there he saw Wagner digging holes. But, he learned to start quick.
 "All of them fellows that made big regulations in base ball got their start that way. They practiced for hours and hours till they got the thing down pat"
 Cobb decided to do likewise. He, too, practiced for hours and hours.
 There was sliding. Cobb could not slide. He borrowed an old and torn base sack from the ground-keeper. In one corner of the field he spaded up the ground. At one end of this spaded plot he set the bag. Then he practiced sliding. He would slide for an hour at time. He practiced early in the morning and late in the afternoon, after the game. Sometimes his hips were raw. Often he came into the clubhouse with his uniform soaked with blood. He learned to slide. He did not stop at the conventional slide. As soon as he mastered that he developed other slides. After a few years in the majors Cobb was sliding in eight different ways.
 He had started as a shortstop. He wss now playing the outfield. Judge:ng fly balls was difficult for him. He missed many. He started to learn. He had players bat fly balls to him by the hour. Leidy did it often, gladly. Cobb asked for shcrt flies and long flies, flies to the right of him and the left of him. He learned to go to the left and the right much sooner than he got the knack of coming in and go- ing out on direct center line. This is the most difficult chance an outfielder encounters A ball hit in the air di- rectly at him is extremely hard to judge. Those to the left and right are easy in comparison. They look by far the hardest. Most outfielders miss the chances that to a spectators seem the easiest. Ball players understand why, the spectator never seems to realize it.
 Cobb played for Leidy during the re- mainder of the season of 1904. He participated in g games and batted for an average of .237, the lowest he ever lit during his professional base ball career. Leidy was not disappointed You've made a fine start" he told Cobb. You'll set the league on fire next year." Leidy was still working on the boys imagination.

BY H. C. SALSINGER
 "Y COBB had less actual instruc- tion in base ball than any man
 that ever became star in the major leagues. Cobb always preferred his own counsel. George Leidy decided this soon after he came to know Cobb. He felt certain that the best way to develop Cobb would be to fire his imagi- nation and if that was fired sufficiently Cobb would develop himself Trying to superintend that development would mean only retarding his progress, as he would not take kindly to advice.
 Leidy let Cobb figure things out for himself. He told him how various great batters of the past worked at the plate. He gave him various suggestions while narrating yarns, knowing that Cobb would perceive the base ball wisdom contained in his stories and adopt what was best suited to his needs.
 Learning In Earnest
 The manager soon noticed that Cobb was spending a great deal more time at the ball park than other players. Cobb would be at the park when the others arrived for morning practice and he would finger after they departed.
 Leidy had told Cobb story about Christy Mathewson, then reaching his top form as a pitcher. This Mathew son used to have poor control and so he'd come out to the park early and get catcher to come along. He'd have the catcher hold his glove in one certain position and keep on pitching, trying to hit the hollow of the glove. And in the winter he cut a hole twice as big as a base ball and about the height of the average mans waist line in the side of his barn and he'd pitch for hours trying to throw the ball through the hole. That's how he learned control. You got to keep pluggin' at one certain thing till you get it down pat"
 Another time he spoke of Hans Wagner. The great Wagner at that time was becoming recognized as the best player of his time
 Wagner Held Up
 You know this Wagner used to be q poor fielder" Leidy would tell Cobb. "He was first an outfielder. They had him playing the outfield. They didn't think he could play the infield Wagner used to get up early in the morning and go to the park. He'd get q couple of kids in the neighborhood to hit grounders to him. But he foud he was slow getting started. He couldn't get the jump in going after ball. So

ROCKNE'S TEAM
 SWEEPS ON, B-3
Wisconsin Barely Checks Micks As Backs
 Run Wild

MADISON, Wis, Nov. S.--Notre Dame slashed Wisconsin's defense to ribbons at Camp Randall this, after noon and defeated the Cardinals, for the first time in five starts, 38 to 3. Previous to todays game Notre Dame had failed to score on Wisconsin. To- day, however, Crossley, Don Miller. Roacha, Layden, Carney and Reese and added points to the teams total.
 Crowley gave the spectators their greatest thrill when he ran 55 yards through a broken field, dipping away from tackler after tackler, waiting for his interference, and cutting away from danger until Doyle Harmon fought his way through blocking Notre Dame men and stopped him.
 Run Whips Wisconsin
 That run broke the hearts of the Wis consin men. The first period had ended and permitted it to remain in the fight ing until Wisconsin forced its way to Notre Dames 15-yard line. At that point Rockne sent in his first-string outfit and, although they were able to hold Wisconsin from scoring . touch- down, Doyle Harmon's dropkick from the 12-yard line counted.
 With the first string team on the field, Wisconsin's defense was wrecked in a slashing attack at ends and slants off tackle, combined with straight smashes into the line and brilliant rnssiDg game.
 Miller Goes Over
 The Notre Dame men crowded an other touchdown into this period when a long pass, Stuhldreher to Don Miller, scored touchdown.
 As the opening of the third period, Crowley flashed his 55-yard run, and a moment later Layden plunged over for a touchdown. The next touchdown came as the result of fine open field running in which Crowley and Don Miller fea- tured, Crowley scoring. In the last period, Rockne sent in a score of sub stitutes who fought the tired Badgers to within striking distance and Roach slipped over with the last touchdown.
 Blocking Good
 The outstanding feature of the game was Notre Dame's blocking.
 Today's win was Notre Dame's first victory over Wisconsin. In 1900 the Badgers won, 54 to 0, in 1904, Wiscon- sin again won, 58 to o, in 1915, Wis consin won again, 54 to 0, and in 1917 the game ended in a scoreless tie.

Shu- ford for a touchdown. Lassiter failed to kick for the extra point.
 The Techmen of Virginia scored in the third period on Rutherfords 23- yard drop-kick through the goal posts. A feature of the game, was that only one forward pass was completed.
