The administrative work of city plan
ming was outlined by Richard b. wat
rous, secretary of the American ClVlc
Association, in the concluding paper OF
the morning session.
Miss Wilson Presides.
The session of the convention yes
terday afternoon was devoted TO
schools as community centers, MISS
Margaret Wilson. daughter of Presl-
dent Wilson, presiding.
In her Introductory remarks MISS
Wilson described the social center
movement as plan to make each
school building, now idle eighteen hours
or more each day, the meeting and Vot-
ing place of citizens of its district, asso-
ciated in one non-partisan, non-exclu-
sive organization, to deliberate questions
on which they vote, and to promote IN
more direct ways the life and happiness
of the neighborhood and CITY or town.
The idea that it was proposed to make
the schools social centers for publlc
amusement, or to throw them open Iree
to whatever public organization might
for the moment interest the board OF
education, she said, was misconcep-
tion.
Preparedness that will mean the de-
velopment of "a nation with back
bone" rather than an "oyster-l1ke
country military shell protecting a
citizenship of mollycoddles," was ad-
vocated by. Prof. E. j.. Ward of the
University of Wisconsin, in an address
on Community Center Organization
for National Defense and World Ad-
justment-
The subject of utilization of the
schools for nation building was fur
ther developed by Raymond +. Crist,
United States deputy commissioner OF
naturalization of the Department of
Labor, who, in paper on The Rela :
ton of the Public School the Com
munity Center and the Federal Bureau u
of Naturalization in Making New Citi-
zens." told of the recent cooperative
development all over the country of
night classes in which newly arrived
aliens are taught English, the essen
tials of American institutions and are
given other information that will as
sist in their proper assimilation into
the body of our citizens.
DIR. Charles f.. North of New York
city described the success that has at
tended the operation of community CEN
ters in New York. and discussed some
of the problems that have arisen in
the conduct of the work. How the
idea of the comrSunity center may be
spread in fiction was illustrated by Miss
Zona Gale, an authoress of Portage,
Wis. who read short story written

with three men in the lineup

at the local gymnasium tonight,
clashing with the Lewis institute

start az 1880 o'clock.
Meyers, at center. and McKenna
and Tom King. at the guards. are
the men who will wear Notre Dame
varsity basket ball colors for the
first time The forward positions
will be held by veterans when the
whistle blows. Captain Daley and
Fitzgerald doing the work at those
positions
Meyers Fast Man.
Mc1Ienna and Tom King are both
sophOmOres. In interhall basket ball
last year they were stars and their
work in the practice thus far this
season has been up to standard.
Meyers played a fast game as CEN
ter on the Walsh interhall cham
pions in 1914 and he has been go
ing good since the practice season
started.
Captain Daley will play his first
varsity game as a forward tonight.
Forward was originally his position
but he was used at guard last sea
son and played a star game. Fitz-
gerald is also a member Of last
years squad He won his mono
gram as a forward and proved him
self TO be a clever basket tOsser
despite his size.
II Notre Dame should secure a
lead, il is probable that Coach Har-
per will shift his lineup considerably
before the game is over and use a
number Of substitutes in the various
positions.
Harper made another change in
tina makeup Of his squad yesterday
when he shifted Jerry Murphy from
center 10 forward and the former
BrownsOn star went along swim
mingly at his new position.

CITY MAY LAND IN
CENTRAL LEAGUE
Ed Smith Expected to Pilot
Team if Franchise is
Secured.
BY BEN OsICKY.
Gu. ;. Amateur skating Champion-)

Judging from the opinion of
prominent business men and base
ball fans there is nothing standing
i'm the way OF a baseball team for
this city next year and for years TO
come. An effort is being made TO
secure a meeting within the next
few days at which IL is hoped to take
definite action looking toward the
organization of a Central league
club.
Ed. Smith. manager Of the locals
in the Soumich circuit. is enthusi-
astice over the proposition. Speak
ing Of the matter Tuesday night he
said: Il certainly think that this
is as good a baseball town as there
is in the league. 1 have managed
a South Bend team for two years
and l am ready to take up the work
again for know that 1t can be made
a paying proposition"
DR.. f. r. Carson, member OF the
national board Of arbitration and
formerly president Of the Central
only the concerted action on the part
league. is Of the opinion that IL needs
OF business men 40 assure a team
for the city. He believes that the
club should have backing which
would assure its existence for sew
eral years and that with such a
start II could be made a paying
proposition.
Business Men Enthusiastic.
+. l. Hardy and others are taking
the initiatives in working up a
meeting OF business at which the
question is TO be taken. Those men
who have been approached on the
matter are al of the opinion that
there is no reason why South Bend
should not be on the baseball map
next season. Enthusiasm is as high,
apparetly as il has been in the past
in spite OF the setback received when
the team was driven out of business
last season. There is little doubt but
that adequate support Will be forth
coming inasmuch as those behind
the movement believe that a base
ball club is one OF the best assets
thatt he city can have.
1t is said that the management OF
Springbrook park has given assur-
ance that in the event OF the reor-
ganization or the baseball team there
will be no difficulty in securing ade-
quate playing facilities.

at a dinner here Monday night and
discussed terms Of peace. The state

the effect that a dinner party had
been held at the Republican club and
attended by Pres't Tener, Garry
Hermann and Barney Dreyfuss of
the National league and Pres't
James Gilmore. George S. Ward and
Harry +. Sinclair of the Federals
was more or less discounted by an
absolute denial made earlier in the
day by Pres't Gilmore. Gilmore
characterized the report as a dream
but evidently his denial was meant
TO protect the National leaguers and
was made before he knew they in
tended TO make a statement. Pres't
Tener's statement read:
Certain club owners of the Ma
tional league yesterday met repre-
sentatives of the Federal league. but
no readjustment of baseball condi-
tons can be made without agree
ment Of major leagues and pending
the decision of Judge Landis."
