men just as fast. Cobb could have been trained to run straight-away and would have made remarkable sprinter. But the biggest asset as sprinter in him would have been his break from the mark He would have had the jump on all competitors.
 Did The Unexpected In base running his brain work was as conspicuous as his. speed. He started before they expected him to start. He went when they did not expect him to go and he made no attempt to advance when he was expected to. He always crossed them up.
 Nearing bag Cobbs next move was always figured out He knew exactly what he wanted to do. More than that, he was certain of what the other fellow would do. That made it easy for him to act. He knew how to escape the fielder.
 Cobb was not the hitter that the slug gers of the old school were, not in the strict sense of the world. He was never natural hitter; they were. But Cobb made more hits than the men naturally fitted for hitting, again because of his brain. He thought faster than the pitcher. As he knew the workings of an infielder, or an outfielder, so did Cobb know the system of the pitcher he was opposing. He batted accordingly.
 He did not use mystic powers. He had no occult gifts. He simply reduced baseball to q scientific basis and figured it out accordingly. Cobb's plays may appear mystifying, but in that they re- semble a conjuror's tricks. The feats of magician are astounding and beyond comprehension until they are explained Then they become extremely simple. Cobb's play was always just as simple Once explained by him, once he gave the reason for making the play the way he did, it became clear and simple. An alyzed, most great achievements become reduced to the same simple, comprehen- sive level.
 | He thought faster than any man that ever wore spiked shoes. And he thought more thoroughly. He saw the little filings that the others missed and he took advantage of them. Nothing escaped his observation. The mechanical per | formances of a fielder. the minute phy- sical characteristics of pitcher, were studied by Cobb, analysed by him and
 then used as the basis of his attack He built his Offense again the weak points of their defense.
 There has been but one Cobb. There
 is likely never to be another. In him
 were strangely combined all those quail ties that were needed to make the perfect lcompetitor, man with playing faults ! but with the most highly developed com petitive spirit and the finest developed brain that the national pastime of the | United States has produced.

the play and compelled infielders to make fumbles and bad throws by over hurrying.
 Cobb had speed, yes. But baseball's dozen other men just as fast did not make infielders hurry so they fumbled and threw badly, enabling the runner tC beat the play the way Cobb did.
 One of the greatest sprinters of all time was Bernie Wefers. Baseball men who saw him run decided he would star in professional baseball because of his speed So they tried to make a ball player out of Wefers. They failed Wefers was fast. He was faster than any man of his time. But he did not know what to do with his speed. In baseball, having speed and knowing how to apply it are different things. Cobb knew better how to apply it than other

WOODLAWNH HI
 BEATS COFFEE Local Eleven Outplays Florence Team. From
 Start

FLORENCE. Ala, Nov. 1.-(Spe- al)-The Coffee High Yellow Jackets were defeated 9 to 8 by the Junior Colonels of WoodIawn high this after noon in one-sided game played almost entirely on the home side of the field. The game was devoid of the hard line plunging which has featured Coffee high games this season and was given over to series of formal passes and punts. Woodlawn brought first blood with a field goal in the first period. The goal was made after the side had advanced almost the whole length of the field on passes. After the first period Wood lawn had few passes completed. The most spectacular play of the game was made in the second. period when Wood- lawn attempted a forward pass from the 4J-yard liue to the 3-yard line. The pass was incomplete and from that time the game was rather slow.
 Coffee Scores Goal
 Early in the third period Ellis of Coffee made an end run to right for a gain of 25-yards. This was followed | by successful pass and field goal. In the last five minutes of play the game was warmly fought. Playing in tleir own territory the Coffee team made d last desperate stand. The visitors stood almost in their tracks for time, but two minutes before the whistle they completed pass for touchdown. They | failed goal and the game ended before either side could warm up again. Junior C0lonels Stronger The game belonged to the visitors from from the beginning. They out pointed the local boys in every play and their goal was in danger only once. dndhahda21t1f12345 2345 23456666 Lne-ups were as follows:

By H. c. SALSINGER

TINY COBB was the greatest ball play
 CT in history. He achieved that
 distinction not because he was the fastest base runner, nor the best base stealer, nor the fleetest fielder, nor the greatest hitter. Be became base balls greatest player because he had the best base ball brain ever developed, the faster thinking brain in the realm Of baseball. Because he had the ability to conceive a situation and take full ad- vantage of it before his opponents awakened to it. He was keener student of the game than they and he under stood the game better than they. What is more he understood them-the other players-better than they understood themselves. He knew their strength and their weakness. He knew their virtues and their faults as far as playing ball was concerned. He was the greatest player because he thought ahead of the them at all times. The play directly in front of him was not his aim, but the play that was to come after. The play of the moment, until he scored, was merely the foundation for the play that was to come.
 He was not the greatest fielder, for dozen men in baseball lowered over him as outfielders. He was not the greatest place hitter, for "Wee Willie" Keeler was a bit better in placing hits. He was not the greatest slugger, for a few dozen men have been able to hit ball harder than Cobb ever could. He was not the fastest man in the game for several others were just as fast, few even faster.
 Not The Body, But The Head
 The difference between Cobb and all the other stars of baseball did not rest in the body, but in the head. He thought quicker than anyone else and he knew how to put his mechanical skill to more advantages than any of the others. They said that he made many of his hits because he was so fast. He hurried

ROCKMEN TURN
 BACK TORNADO
Notre Dame Uses Second Stringers Most Of
 Time
(By Associated Prets.)

SOUTHBEND, Ind, Nov. 1.-The Golden Tornado of Georgia Tech 'un-' leashed all its fury against Notre Dame in their intersectional gridiron classic but the Rockmen turned it back and for the third successive year defeated the southerners, today by score of 34 to 3.
 Tech took defeat in glory and left the name of Douglas Wyckoff, it's driving fullback, emblazoned on the football roll in Notre Dame's archieves. Wyckoff's tearing, running, plunging attacks, al- ways in the face of stubborn resistance, was considered the outstanding indi- vidual performance of the game. The final run robbed him of possible sen sational climax, when, after racing Al yards to Notre Dames one-yard line, time was called.
 Coach Knute K. Rockne started his second string eleven against the Geor- gians. After few moments had elapsed, Wycoff tore off 40 yards in a pretty scamper through the line. The Rockmen frightened but during the first period, Tech gave them memorable struggle. It was here that Williams, left half, after working the ball to No. tre Dame's 42-yard line, booted beau-s tiful drop-kiek for his teammates only score.
 Regulars Open Up
 The Notre Dame regulars opened the second quarter and the the superiority of Rockne's team exerted itself. Righ. Half Don Miller, receiving a pass from his running mate, Crowley, star of the Princeton encounter, took it over for Notre Dame's first touchdown. Lay den placed it behind Techs goal for Rockne's second score, shortly after which second team again took the field.
 The grilling given Techs warriors be- gan to become apparent and the offense they had shown in the first period started to weaken. Roach, substituting for Crowley, arose as a future star in Norte Dame football when he made pretty run and drive for the second squads first touchdown. He later went over for another. Coach Rockne used nearly 40 men in the game, the complete regular line up at no time being used. LivergoOd, at fullback, showed to good advantage in the final frame, practicing many of Layden's plays in putting over his touchdown.

A Test of Sincere PRAYER.

Far be it from, me that should sin
against Jehor1h in ceastng to pray for
you.-I Samuel xii23.
One of the weaknesses of our praying
is its tendency to become self-centered.
We besiege heaven with petitions for
ourselves. but we are silent concerning
our friends and enemies.
At bottom this is form of skepticism
or of sentimentality.
Either we do not believe in prayer as
an independent force, or e.Se we harbor
- delusion that God is only really in
terested in our pitiful selves.
The Bible teaches us that intercession
is vital part of prayer.
No true prayer can concern you or
me alone.
The first word Of the Lords prayer
reveals that
But how few of US realize that it is
an actual sin not to pray for others!
We forget that others may even be
in trouble because our prayers on their
behalf are Silent.
"Ah," some one may say, what a
cruel God it must be who involves the
welfare Of one man with the prayers of
another"
Do you think so?
He is the same God who puts helpless
children in charge OF men and women
to abuse and neglect or to cherish.
For veal or for woe mankind Is in
terdependent
Are you doing your part in prayer for
others; or are your prayers the formal
religions expression of fundamental ego
tiSm?
