FRESH|ES GIVEN
CHANCE IN TRACK
First Year Men Will Have Four
Meets to Show Ability as
Part of Athletic Season at
Notre Dame University.

Four meets have been arranged for
the freshman track team this year
Two will be held in Chicago and two
in Indiana. The freshmen are eligible
for the following meets: The First
Regiment meet TO be held in Chicago
and also the a. 4. L. championship.
The other two teams which the fresh
men Will meet will be the Culver
squad both indoor and outdoor meets
have been arranged. The other meet
VIII be with i. A. g. dual meet held
annually.
Coach Rockne has about 45 fresh
men who are eligible for the meet and
all are showing good form and Notre
Dame should gain easy victories in
these contests. ON account of the
snowy weather the coach is beginning
fast work in the gymnasium and will
from now on get the men in shape for
the lay off at Christmas The sup
plies required for the large number
of men out for track this year will ar
rive today and all of the men will
have full equipment.
The basketball squad entered upon
its final stretch of hard practice last
night, before the season opens Satur-
day with the Chicago five. The game
with Lewis institute to be played on
the home floor is the first game to be
played this year and will give the
coach a good line on the men before
opening on the big schedule.
The SQUAD was augmented yester-
day by the presence of several play
ers who have been resting up after q
strenuous season as members Of the
football squad. With these new re-
cruits out, the squad has probably
reached its limit and comprises some
fine material The coach will have
his hands full in choosing the best
five for the first game.
After the game Saturday only three
days will remain for the boys to get
in trim for the Arkansas Aggies game
TO be played next Wednesday. The
Aggie game will be the close of var
sity athletics for this year.

CHANCE SAYS FEDS WILL
SHOW MAJORS BIG FIGHT
Former Yankee Leader Opines That
Threatened Jump to Outlaws.

Los ANGELES, Calf. Dec. 10
Frank Chance, former manager of the
New York Yankees said today that as
early as last spring it was an open
secret that Eddie Collins intended go
ing to the Federals, at the close of the
playing season, and apparently the
only way to keep him in organized
baseball was to give him the man
agership of the White SoX.
cit was the same way with Bender
and Plank" said Chance. but there
was nothing for the organized base
ball people to do but stand by and see
these two stars take the jump.
The Federals gave the major
leaguers a hard fight last year" con-
tinued Chance, land they will put up
even a better scrap this year Ward
has plenty of money and is not afraid
to spend il. and the Federals will just
about wreck things before they get
through.
"The Fedtrals are out to establish
themselves no matter what the price
may be. The major leaguers are
simply demOralized they do not
know which way to duck. They'll do
lot of queer things before the 1915
schedule is ripped into"
