ly appreciated when you evidenced it by rendering me so important a place in your cabinet. am again in debted to you for your renewed eX- pressions of confidence in your note of March 16 proposing to tender me a recess appointment as attorney general.
 T shall always like 10 remember that the political controversy which has arisen concerning this position has not in the least affected your faith in me and have been apprised that those who know me fully share in your belief,
 Had l not known that could serve you and the government with all my powers, whatever they may be. I naturally would not have ac- cepted your offer of the position.
 But am not willing 10 have prolonged a political controversy that might lessen your opportunities for full usefulness 10 the nation and possibly interfere with your making wholly effective your policies.
 T cannot therefore in fairness to you and the republican party refrain from declining your offer of a recess appointment and I hope that you will make another nomination for confirmation.
 T am, my dear Mir President,
 Faithfully yours,

 Aircraft is developing more rap Idly than anything else today and with awakeness to its possibilities on the part of nation is essential If that nation would maintain its place among the powers of the world.

Every angler at some time or other
has observed a lack of brains on the
part of even the most sagacious fish.
The trout and the bass are given
credit for being almost human in
their intelligence. But 1t occurs to
me that this Is largely accounted for
by the fact that no fisherman wants
to be given credit for vanQuishing a
dumbell.
The same applies to ducks and
geese. They really don't know much.
They, like other birds, and like ami
mails and fish. are not intelligent.
They are guided largely by instinct,
and that is all. The beaver is per-
haps the most overrated of all ami
mails His works are wonderful, but
he doesn't know it.
Here is what the naturalist of Yel-
lowstone Park has to say about the
beaver:
I'm some ways our booklearned
respect for the beavers activity and
intelligence is bound to suffer from
more direct familiarity with the sub
ject. He does not always know which
way a tree will fall; he is somewhat
behind modern engineering methods
in his building operations; for some
10 hours of the day the proverbial
busy beaver Is usually wholly occu-
pied with the strenuous labor of
sleep-sweet sleep! On the other
hand, we are likely to find that his
canals in particular are quite marvel
GUS works, exciting our keenest in
terest and admiration.

METHOD TO END TIE
/. GRID GAMES NEEDED
BY MYRON E. WITHAM.
oot Ball Coach. University OF Chicago.

BOULDER, Colo, November T.
Although the present season is turn
ing up fewer tie games than in
years-perhaps fewer than in the his
tory of modern foot ball-still a
change is needed in the scoring sys-
tenn in order to make deadlocked con-
tests more nearly impossible.
Tie games are unsatisfactory to all
concerned, and there is a generally
acknowledged desire to eliminate
them. How troublesome they are is
shown particularly in the case of Wis
consin and Minnesota. who have gone
three consecutive years without either
team winning.
This outstanding present instance
emphasizes the need for supplement
tary points. so that a decisive outcome
can always be counted on. Chicago
in 1924. by virtue of three ties and
no defeats, was given an indecisive
championship title in the Big Ten.
While percentage plans have been Of
fered which would determine a more
equitable standing in conference title
races. these do not solve the problems
of tie games between two contestants.
To consider a game additional to
those on the set schedule, in the event
of tie or an additional period to be
added TO the present four, manifestly
would not insure decisive outcome.
But to evaluate the score following
a touchdown by scoring one point for
a kicked goal and two points for the
successful tally via the forward pass
or carving play, would in many cases
accomplish the desired purpose. The
line of scrimmage for such a score
after a touchdown might be advanced
yard nearer the goal to encourage
the running attack for the possible
two points. if they proved necessary.
Another possible solution, in the
event of d tie under existing rules.
would be to determine the outcome on
the basis of first downs made during
the game. In the event of a tie and
an equal number of first downs, the
final result could be determined by the
scoring of the total yardage gained
from scrimmage. This would consti-
tute the deciding factor in the final
score.
While the foot ball rules committee
is rightly cautious in amending the
present code. the writer believes they
would welcome a thorough discussion
of ways to reduce the number of tie
contests to a minimum If not entirely
eliminating them.

TY COBB HAS STOLEN
856 BASES IN CAREER
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

When the 13 stolen bases made by
Ty Cobb during the 1925 season. few
for him. Of course, are added to his
record for lifted sacks since he en-
tered base ball. the total Is 856-144
short of that millennium of stolen
bases which old Pop Anson once pre-
dicted no player ever would be able
to reach
In those days. when Pops word
was law, he said It was physically
impossible for any ball player to live
long enough and remain in harness
and keep up his speed so that in the
course of his career he could steal
900 bases. Perhaps it is, and per-
haps Ty will never reach that mil
Iennium. but Cobb has set a mark the
present generation probably never
will see equaled.
A new base ball player OF the Cobb
type must come into the game to do
it. one who is willing to play all the
time. one who starts early, one who
takes such excellent care of himself
that he can keep up his pace until
he Is at least 35 years old and as
many years older as he can find a
place for himself on a major league
team.
When Cobb entered the game
he had no idea of going after the
base-running championship.
"I just couldn't help running
bases" Ty said one day. Il don't
believe I am as fast on the fiat as
some other players. but when l saw
the chances that some f1elders gave
a man to get around the bases,
simply had to light out from one to
the other"

FOOT BALL SECRETS
-By Sol Metzger--
Taking Lineman's Stance.

Note the position of the player
in the first illustration. His legs
are we'll under him and pointed
straight ahead. Particularly notice
the position Of his feet. They are
all set to drive him forward. The
lineman in the second illustration
has assumed a different position.
His feet are turned out.
That is a weak position for a
lineman to take. He hasn't the
necessary driving power in his legs
II he turns his feet out as here pic
tured. All runners and broad
jumpers and foot ball players either
pigeon-toe a trifle or keep the feet
on a straight line with the direc-
tion they are going to take.
They have more strength in their
legs when they do this. The best
way to prove this is to try a stand
ing broad jump, with the feet point
ed ahead and another with them
turned out. You will find you
have very little strength and can
jump but a short distance when in
the latter position.

For this reason the average fol-

No. 10-Par four, a birdie three.
No. 11-Par four, he got a five.
1t wasn't until the twelfth that
Bobby captured par of four. From
then, until he reached the eighteenth,
he negotiated exact par. On the
eighteenth he scored an eagle.
If you examine the above record.
you will see that the champion made
six brides and five buzzards in those
first IL holes holes; also, that while
he got no pars, his total Of 43 at the
end Of the II holes equaled exact par
for that distance.
Incidentally, he made five brides
in the first nine holes. Too, the course
has a quartet Of three stroke holes,
but Bobby played eight holes in three,
and, of these, four were par four
holes and one was par five.
1t was remarkable round. At the
