and filed the role to satisfaction,
also becoming one OF the most relia-
bic stickers on the squad. He cap
tanned successful team in 1905, and
returned TO the outfield when back
stop yas developed the following
spring. He was a whirlwind on the
bases and led his team in pilfering
for three years. while running up a
swatting average over 800 for each
season.
While handicapped by his lack of
weight, Harper, in his senior year,
was member of the western cham
pionship foot ball squad which did
not lose a game and won from Mich
gan, = to o, in the final game of the
season. He played end and half-back
and understudy TO Eckersall, in the
quarter back job.
Following his graduation from Chi
cago Harper became canvasser,
selling aliases in Missouri for a Chi
cago publishing house. His success
in disposing of the map books was
not as marked as the romance which
followed his meeting certain Miss
Campbell in the course of his wan
derings, for the young woman is now
Mrs. Harper.
In the fall of 1906 Harper accepted
college, where he remained three
years, winning the state base ball
title in 1905, when little Alma van
quished the University of Michigan
nine.
Harper transferred his athletic
coaching skill to Wabash in 1909,
where he directed the fortunes of the
base ball, foot ball basket ball, and
track teams. 1t was the sturdy bat
ties waged by Wabash against Notre
Dame that eventually secured his
present berth at South Bend. In his
four years at Wabash the Little
Giants" three times won the cham
pionship of the secondary colleges in
foot ball. Purdue was humbled in
defeat in three of those four years
while in 1911 Notre Dame itself re-
corded victory by the narrow margin
Of TO 3.
With this record Of success at Wa
bash Harper has directed Notre Dame
TO a 30 to Is victory over the Army
eleven and a II to : victory over
Penn State, both on foreign fields.
Harper is an advocate of the open
game 1t was this coaching which
enabled the light Wabash team to
beat heavier opponents, and it was
the open game which played an inn
portant part in the Army and Penn
State games.
Following the game at West Point
where eight Army players were re-
moved at various times because of
injuries. and twelve substitutions in all
were made. while Notrc Dame sub
stituted only one player to tie a shoe
string, Harry Tuthill, trainer for
the Army and holder OF similar po-
sition for the Detroit Tigers during
the base ball season. asked to meet
the Notre Dame trainer.
There he is over there" said one
Of the Notre Dame huskies.
But that's your coach" remon-
strated Tuthill
well, he's the trainer, too" said
the player
That's true. Harper is coach, train
er, and business manager, for upon
him developed the framing of the best
schedule Notre Dame has had in re-
cent years.
In his new Dosition HarDer will
have supervision of foot ball, base
ball, track and basket ball With the
excellent athletic material at the
Catholic college ready to be nodded
into the finished product, Harper at
last has field where he can give
his coaching ability full sway. Notre
Dame appears to be fortunate in its
choice"

Fifteen street lamps have already
been erected on the streets of our
village and twenty or thirty more
have been ordered. The reservoir
on each of the lamps is charged with
sufficient oil to burn until after mid
night. Certainly the street lamps
are something that has been badly
needed. Besides being useful and
needful they give our village quite q
citified appearance. The action of
the council in providing the lamps is
heartily endorsed by nine-tenths Of
the taxpayers of the village.

cut to use in the kilns, and the COM
pany expects to turn out at least
5000, 600 brick of an excellent quality
next season. The clay beds are in
exhaustible and there is no reason
why a good paying business in the
brick line cannot be established here.
