TEANE-JE DELoRAAE looked down at the
j three inches of salt water sloshing around
IN the bottom of his dilapidated dory. He
shook his dark head woefuIly and, though the
act of engaging in manual labor even IN the
practice Of his profession distressed him. since
there was no wind, he pulled stoutly at his
heavy I-balanced oars.
A few minutes later the clear Caribbean
green of the water, passing beneath the boat,
changed to rich purple. That meant he was
over the reef.
JEAN Jean boated his oars, picked up
roughly made wooden box with glass bottom.
He lowered It over the side and, as the dOry
drifted, he peered through this magic window
at the violently colored world of miniature
uags and caverns beneath him, hunting
cave that looked as If it might hold the lob
stexs he sought.
Presently something he saw made him suck
IN his breath with kissing sound of surprise
and thrust his head clear inside the box in his
eagerness to see It closer.

lOWly "SGc1e bles!''
He moved very quickly now, dropping his
window box onto the bottom Of the boat.
heaving over the side the heavy stone that
served as an anchor. Then. trembling with
excitement, he put on diving mask which.
discarded from am American cargo lighter
plying the harbor, he'd found on the beach.
Placing knife between his teeth, he dived.
His strong body giided deep down through the
clear, warm water, where schools of incredibly
brightly colored little fish moved out Of his
path with careless leisure.
He REACHED the coral-en0usted object he
had seen through his box, began hacking fran
tically with his knife. He stopped twice to
surface and refill his aching lungs. When he
surfaced for the final time and took off his
mask, Jean-Jean DeLOrme's eyes were the
CLASSY eyes of man who had seen vision Of
such tremendous exqlIisiteness the sight had
stunned him.
"Meycil' he gasped. 'Merci, Ie bon Dien!"
For little while he sat quite mOtionless, his
eyes still filed with their image of the treasure

He could not even tell Marie Nor could he
tell the children because they might carelessly
mention it aloud and then the Others might
hear of it.

Redskins, Still Shoky, Facing
Rugged Game With SteeIers

quarterbacking again. Pittsburgh
could use a bit of help at that
position, with Jim Finks, their
No. l signal-caller, nursing an
injured knee. But whether the
Redskins numerical superiority
can turn the trick remains to
be seen
Pittsburgh boasts a rugged,
hard-hitting line that will be
hard to run against. The Steel
ers also have a speedy, sharp
thinking secondary defense that
could be hard to pass against.
The Redskins personnel has
similar qualities, which means it
could and probably will be a low
scoring game decided by the
breaks.
The addition of Johnny Papit,
back home after. being released
by Green Bay, figures to help
the Redskins running game.
Leon Heath's return to fullback
also should help. The Redskins
are hurting defensively, espe-
cially at right end, where Paul
Lipscomb may get another tour
of emergency duty. and in the
backfield.

Cobb Sets Up Fund
To Help Students
Through College
BY the Assoeioted Press

ATLANTA, Nov. 28.-Ty Cobb,
one-time baseball great, has
announced endowment of the
Cobb Educational Foundation to
help deserving Georgia students
get a college or professional
education.
Cobb and DR.. Daniel C. Elkin,
an Atlanta surgeon and professor
OF surgery at Emory University,
announced the fund at a lunch
con yesterday. Elkin will serve
as chairman of the foundations
trustees.
Size of the fund or the number
of students who will be able to
benefit from it annually was not
announced. DR.. Elkin said the
endowment is considerable" and
will be available in the school
year beginning next fall.
Cobb said his father. a rural
school superintendent at Roys-
ton. Ga. was disappointed when
he (Ty) did not go to college.
He mentioned that his family
came largely from mountainous
North Georgia, an area of people
of fine character but little formal
education. He commented:
"Out of this reservoir of Lin
colnesque people, if I could get
just one boy who'd make some
thing great of himself. I'd feel
fully satisfied"
Cobb retired from baseball in
1923 after "a years as profess
sional player. AS the Georgia
Peach, he set several American
League records that still stand.
