UNIQUE MACHINE
HELPS LACOSTE
DEFEAT TILDEN

LONDON, Nov 9 tR-In preparing
for his defeat of big Bill" Tilden, last
August, Rene LaCoste had a mechani-
cal accomplice-an unique machine OF
his own invention-the French tennis
marvel disclosed today.
LaCoste practiced on the London
hard courts today with the apparatus
which fires balls across the net so
rapidly that the player is kept on the
run. This tennis robot can be oper-
ated by turning handle or by the
use of an electric motor.
II have been working on my in
vention for more than six months, .
said LaCoste after slamming several
balls back at his creation. "The great
advantage of the apparatus is that
you can have the finest shots fired at
you by a person who has never even
played tennis. My mother and sister
used to turn the handle for me when
I was in training to meet Tilden this
year-but can work my own model
in Paris with an electric motor.
ut could be so arranged that any
number of balls up to 1000 might be
fired at you in rapid succession"
The French tennis stars metallic
training partner propeis balls at four

Lumberjacks' Game
With N. NJ. Lobos Is
Saturdays 5 Classic

FLAGSTAFF, Nov R)-The eyes
of the football followers of northern
Arizona will be centered on the out
come of the clash between the Flag
staff Teachers college LumberjackS
and the University of New Mexico
Lobos, when they meet on the gridiron
ArnisUice day at Albuquerque in one
OF the most important classics of the
southwest.
The New Mexico team defeated the
University of Arizona last Saturday
7 to 6.
Fridays game will mark the re-
newal of football relations between the
two schools since 1916, when the locals
journeyed to Albuquerque to take the
worst drubbing ever administered to a
Flagstaff team, 103 to 0.
In five games played thus far this
season, the Pedagogues' opponents
have made only Is first downs, and
only Loyola, who the teachers held to
a scoreless tie were able to work the
ball within the locals 15-yard line.

EASTERN TEAMS
GET READY FOR
SATURDAY GAME

NEW YORK, Nov. H9-Yale's
diligent search for man to take
the place of Bruce Caldwell and a
final display of brilliance OH the part
of Ed Wittmer, Princeton sophomore,
who had been primed to outshine the
disqualified Eli ace on Saturday,
marked mid-week drills on eastern
gridirons.
While Wittmer ripped through the
scrubs tackle for the single touchdown
of Princeton's final scrimmage of the
week, Tad Jones tossed John Garvey
and Bill Hanmersley into the second
string line again and again in an
attempt to determine Caldwell'S sue
cessor. Garvey appeared to have the
edge.

me late in September.
Working back of the plate at Ph1la-

Cleveland Indians and the Athletics,
a recurrence of an cid knee injury
caused me to retire early from the
game. I was taken to the quarters
of the Philadelphia trainer in the
club house for treatment.
A few innings later Ty quit the
game to catch an early train for the
west, in order to make connections
at Chicago for hunting trip he had
planned in wyoming.

RETORT OF UMPIRES CORRECT
Both of us then enjoyed a laugh
over a retort that I would always
hand Ty when the two of us had
some slight difference of opinion. It's
the same old chatter that umpires
always spill to stars during the heat
of a dispute.

make good on that sarcasm that you
used to slip me as well as the other
boys about being up in the big show

That conversation strengthens
my belief in CObb's statement
that he has played his last game
as big Lacquer.
GREATEST OF ALL PLAYERS
It is a rather interesting coinci-
dence that Cobb and I broke into
the American league at practically
the same time. He played a few
months in the fall of 1906; I made
my debut in the spring of 1906.
It SO happens that Ty Cobb, al
the close of the 1927 season, was the
only player still in the majors who
was member of the American
league when I started.

Judkins, who was Roy Schultz's
head cameraman, grunted when
he saw her.

all he said.
But late that afternoon, when
Bobbie saw the stills that he
had taken, she caught her breath
with delight. For they showed
her to herself as being far prettier
than she had ever dreamed she

Around her neck was a string of
