NOTRE DAME GETS
A GAME WITH ARMY
Catholics Have Very Hard
Chart For Gridiron
Next Fall.

NOTRE DAME, Ind, March 27-
Ample opportunity for the settlement
of intersectional football rivalry will
be offered next fall when West Point
and Penn State representing the east
will clash with Notre Dame Negotia-
lions by which West Point will be the
opponents of Notre Dame in football
on the Indiana gridiron We're conclud-
ed by Director Jesse Harper today.
The closing of the army date COM
pletes the Catholics schedule of nine
games
In addition to the eastern games
Harper has listed contests with South
Dakota and Wabash in the west and
University OF Texas in the south, max
ing the schedule one of the hardest
as well as the best ever listed for
Notre Dame. Two year contracts have
been entered into with most of the
schools providing for return games in
1914 and insuring we'll balanced
schedule for that season
Penn State has been on the base
ball schedule for several seasons, and
the Army is included in the 1912 base
ball chart arranged by Manager Cot
ter. The announcement of the football
games with the eastern schools gives
ground to the report that Notre Dame
hereafter intends to look to the east
for its most important gridiron battles.
The adoption of the freshman rule.
by which first year men will be in
eligible for varsity competition, and
the abolition of the present system of
student control in the management of
teams, are some of the innovations
which will be introduced next season
when Harper assumes the position of
director of athletics at Notre Dame.
The former Maroon star, who is
coach at Wabash, will be head coach
in all branches as we'll as director OF
athletics, and will be aided by assist.

The Inauguration of the freshman

INDIANAPOLIS HAS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. March e7.-
indianapolis. the greatest inland rail-
road center in the United States, has
but one line of railroad in operation
from Indianapolis TO Richmond over
the Pennsylvania. Ode train each way
was run yesterday and other trains
will be sent TO Richmond today The
telegraph and telephone companies
are badly handicapped as the rail
roads. and at one time this forenoon
the Western Union mad but one tele-
graph wire intact and that, like the
railroad connected Richmond with
the capital of Indiana.
There are hundreds of people home

the territory lying close to White river
and Eagle creek and while the waters
have been receding rapidly since last
night. the suffering OF the homeless is
severe.

BQsebQId0n1 Is Made Over The
Race for the Zone Big Dollar"

There's money in this old world Of
ours if you only dig it up. And the
best way to stuff your pockets and
your safety vaults with $1,000 notes
is to get into baseball. At least one
gains that impression by reading the
newspapers.
First. We find Mrs. Helen Britton,
owner of the st. Louis Cardinals, pay
ing Roger Bresnahan. the manager she
discharged, $4,000 to keep him from
going to court. And Rajah was scarce
ly free agent-thereby losing Mrs
Britton at least $4,000 or more, for
he would have brought that much on
the open market-before the Chicago
club let it be known that It would
pay Bresnahan $4,000 to sign and
about $4,000 for three years, a salary
of more than $4,000 per year
Then soon after that financial shock
Frank Farrell, the owner of the New
York Americans. sends to Los Angeles
for Franch Chance, discharged boss of
the Chicago club and entertains him
in the Windy City. AS result of
that entertainment Chance is TO lead
the Yankees next season and the two
that follow. His yearly stipend is
said to be the insignificant sum of
S25, 900, while a percentage of the re
ceipts will bring him an income for
the three seasons of $4,000 in all

Phillies. 1t cost Locke close to $400,-
600 to swing that deal.
Ty Cobb. greatest player of the age,
is afflicted with "holdoutitis." While
Tyrus refuses to mention the exact
sum he demands for batting over 400,
it is said to be $4,000 a year, or S45,-
900 for three seasons. And the Georgia
Peach desires a three-year contract
when he signs.
The fever is upon them and Cobb is
only one of many major and minor lea
que baseball players who are demand
ing big salaries. Connie Mack and Will
Locke showed evidence of wisdom
which had been lacking in other base
ball circles when they stated that less
noise should be made about the i'm
mense sums of money paid to mana
gers and players. For after all it is
not quite possible that much of it is
press agent stuff?
