A FTER accepting eleven press
L n tickets from Notre Dame for
the N D.-Navy game at Cleveland
last Saturday, the Army grid Of
f1cials supplied eleven scouts with
the ducats to permit the West Point
sleuths to occupy choice seats and
watch every move of the Irish and
copy down all of the plays used
against the Middies. Thereupon the
scouts hustled their information to
West Point, and to guard against
any chance Of Army plays leaking
out for the benefit of Notre Dame,
the West Point gates we're locked
and police detail posted. Eleven
scouts on one game, one for every
position on a team, breaks all rec
ords for football hawkshawing. The
generals, majors, captains, colonies
and lieutenants will have tough
time explaining their strategy if the
Cadets happen to bump into an up
set Saturday.

of the comparative score" dOpester. Teams
are different on different Saturdays and
certain elevens do all of their pointing
for certain opponents. Anyway, it's dill
fcuIt problem to keep the young coiieglahs

figure this line of comparative scores;

CPEAKING of the economic re-
- adjustment, even the racing
dogs of the north country have felt
the blow. The international dog
derby at Quebec has been. called of
this winter and the annual snow
carnival there will be minus the
canine feature. The snow hounds
demand choice bones to make 'em
run best and they can not show the
old speed on table scraps and half
portions. It's the depression, the
derby promoters stated, as they can

Fans in Columbus are trying to guess"
the 1888 pilot of the Red Birds. They
seem to think Billy Southworth won't be
back and hope that Pat Crawford obtains
the berth. However. they have bunch
Bob O'FarreIl may be sent to them from
the Cardinals the parent club. and some
imagine that if Rogers HOrnsby falls on
the comeback trail he eventually will land
at Columbus directing the reins. The
Cardinals may meet with stern opposition
if they endeavor to transfer Crawford to
the minors again. He was a whale of
ball player in the A. A. this year.

MO better example of ball
IN player overcoming a batting
weakness ever has been given than
the feat performed by Jimmy Foxx.
American League pitchers thought
they had him squelched with low
fast one in 1881, when he slumped
to .29l, but the SLalWart youth kept
fighting and found way to smack
that style of pitch. He always
could slaughter high fast ones and
when he mastered his fault this
year he went on to gain new
heights, barely missing Babe Ruth's
all-time record for home runs. Foxx
learned to solve the low pitch this
year before the pitchers got wise
and as a result he had them mys-
titled.
