In sad. but loving remembrance OF our
dear father, Capt. JAMES fl. BEACH,
who departed this life ten years ago to-
day.
The last farewell was spoken
Ten years ago today,
our family circle broken
When our loved one passed away.
Oh the memory Of that evening
As we stood with aching hearts,
Seeing the one we loved so dearly
Pierced by deaths most cruel dart.
God takes the loved ones from our homes
But never from our hearts:
Ten years have passed, our hearts still
sore
Astime goes on we miss him more.

Ridpath or Shore for places. The re-
turn of Walsh came as a big surprise,
and il is known that offers have been
made to Lake and Stuart, the latter of

salary limit.
RenfrewJs team is announced as
follows: Goal, Lindsay, point, Patrick

STEAM AUTOMOBlI Is WILL
BE ADMITTED THIS YEAR

Indianapolis. Ind, Dee. 24,-Steam
propelled automobiles are destined TO
come into their own as far as motor
racing is concerned during the 1911
season if the action Of the contest
board of the American Automobile as
sociation is directed as Chairman S.
M. Butler now believes it will be when
the rules for the coming season are
made. The consideration of the steam
power machine is the outgrowth of a
desire evidenced by two or three maxi
ers of that kind of automobile to see
their product in competition with gas
oline cars in the international sweep
stakes race to be held on the lndianap-
oils Motor Speedway May 30 next.
The speedway management has re-
The Calumet news. [volume] (Calumet, Mich.) 1907-1938, 1910-12-24

ceived letters from some of the steam
car makers asking If they will be al
lowed to enter the 500-mile race on
Memorial day, but the permission
could not be granted as the a. a. A.
rules do not provide for competition
between gasoline motors and steam
engines, or, i'm fact, between steam
propelled cars themselves. Chairman
Butler was appealed to and asked If
there was any possible chance for an
ARRANGEMENT whereby the steam cars
could start in the big motor classic.
The A. A. A. official replied that no
ruling thus far. made would allow
steam cars to compete. but that the
contest board probably would give
them consideration i'm the 1911 rules
and, If possible, arrange a basis where
by steam and gasoline engines would
be classed together for certain con-
tests.

RUGBY FOOTBALL
ABLY SUPPORTED

Since football as played by eastern
varsity teams has been discarded Tor
Rugby in the California institutions,
the westerners have been trying to
spread the alien game to other parts
of the country. The cries Of abolish
football have risen louder in Rugby
sections than anywhere else. Presi-
dent Ide Wheeler of the University
of California says that the introduction
Of Rugby football into American
schools is a moral issue. He is quoted
on the subject as follows:
"The superiority of the Rugby game
for high schools and colleges is so APP
parent so certainly established, that
the issue now presented as between
this and the old intercollegiate game
has taken the form of a moral issue.
The old intercollegiate game. deserves
to be driven out of all American insti-
tutions. No one who is well versed in
the two games can say anything else.
The perpetuation of the old game can
only be regarded as ethically wrong.
All the ft-repeated artificial efforts
to remodel it have proved ineffective.
The great and i'm fact the only remedy
is the introduction of the Rugby game.
1t can readily be seen that the public
appreciates all these points contin-
ued DIR. Wheeler. This shown in the
increased attendance. The crowd
which watched California and Stan
ford play was the greatest in the MS
tory of California football This inter-
est is bound to increase from year to
year as the public becomes more IA
miliar with the Rugby game

P|TTSBURC AFTER
SWIMMING meet
APPLICATION MADE TO A. A. U.
FOR PERMISSION TO HOLD
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
EVENT.

Pittsburg. Dec. 24.-The Pittsburg
Athletic Club has applied to the ANA
teur Athletic Union for permission TO
hold the entire set of indoor national
swimming championships of 1911 and
en- stirred up once more the much de-
hated question of whether IL is advis-
able to bunch all the events into one
big meet or to piece them out one at
a time among the various clubs asking
for sanctions.
otto Wahle, chairman of the swim
ming committee of the A. A. L., is at
the head of the faction which main
tains that the individual alone should
be considered when il comes to giving
events evolving national titles. This
faction claims that a championship
should go to the best man and that in
forcing the topnotchers To compete in
several events on the same day de-
cided Injustice is done them, for they
cannot prepare properly, or even be
in the best condition, for more than
one race, so that second rater at
still the other side points out with
equal reason, that splitting the events
gives no chance to developing material,
thus Offering no incentive, and that the
system awakens no interest i'm the
public, while an important, well adver-
tsed tournament brings out a large
crowd and so serves to popularize
aquatics. 1t all resolves itself into
whether the interest of the individual
or the good of the sport in general
should come first, and opinions vary
greatly on the subject.
The Pittsburg A. c. pool is particu
larly well fitted for a championship
carnival. The natatorium has excel
lent facilities for accommodating specta-
tors and the pool is one Of the best in
the world for competitive purposes 1t
measures 80 feet in length by 80 feet
in width. the water is kept as clear as
crystal, and lines of green tiles along
the bottom serve to give swimmers and
plungers their course without having
TO look up.

MICHIGAN Turns
DOWN CONFERENCE
WOLVERINES WILL CONTINUE
ATHLETIC RELATIONS WITH
THE DASHBOARD HOLDS
MEETING.

Ann Arbor. Mich, Dec. 24.-Michi-
san's athletic future lies i'm the east
Such is the meaning OF the action, or
rather lack of action. which the VOL
VERNE board took at it's meeting this
week when il dropped the question OF
return to the conference as not be-
ing an open one. Director Bartelme
was authorized TO proceed with the
work of arranging the 1911 schedules
along the lines followed during the
past four seasons.
All OF the members OF the new VOL
VERNE governing body, except j. ID
Hibbard of Chicago, were on hand for
the meeting, which had been herald
ed as a momentous one. The confer
ence question was raised and discussed
at length, the meeting covering near
~ four hours. Each of the members
expressed his views fully and it be-
came so evident that there was no
hope of return 10 the western fold that
the matter was not even put to
vote. The unanimity with which the
continuance of the present free dance
policy was accepted was somewhat
surprising in view Of the persistence
which had been previously shown bV
the pro-conference party. The boar
took the view that the regulations nov
in force i'm the big Eight" are of
such a nature that it would be i'm
possible for Michigan TO accept them.
A satisfaction with the present posi-
tfon in the athletic world was ex-
pressed and little desire was manifest
ed to effect any change in the Wolver-
inc policy.
The big Eight" will remain an
octet as far as Michigan is concerned
and the Wolverines will devote their
attention to the best the east can and
will offer and to such of their neigh
bors as are not under the conferences
