WANTS ARMY TEAM
Notre Dame Would Have Soldiers
Go West for Contest.

NOTRE DAME, Ind, Feb. e.-Notre
Dame University athletic authorities
are attempting to arrange a football
game with the Army eleven to be
played either in Indianapolis or
Chicago in 1918. Word has been re-
ceived here that the cadets will be
permitted to leave West Point for
one game each season, in addition
to the annual clash with the Navy.
Notre Dame has made four trips
to play the cadets, winning two and
losing two. 1t Is believed here that
an Army-Notre Dame game staged
either in Chicago or indianapolis
would draw a capacity crowd.

Western In Basketball Games.

Central and Tech are meeting to-
day in a game which may decide the
High School League championship.
Tech has won four games and lost
one, while Central has won four
games and lost two. A win for Tech
will put the team out in front, while
a win for Central will cause a tie.
The Central team goes into the bat
tie without the services of one of its
best players. Forrest DAILY Is suffer

may be unable to play. In the recent
contest with the Baltimore Poly DAILY
severely turned his ankle, and has
been laid up for two days.
Difference In Play.
Days loss will make a difference
in the play OF the Central team. The
left forward is the main point scorer
for his team, and Is shooting all the
free tosses. Central will be without
a capable free tosser.
Tech Is favored to win on general
form. In Catlin and Tabb the Tech
team has two exceptional players. II

Right-handed bowIers who have
difficulty in making No. 10 at duck

to words Of a veteran who is usually
successful in sweeping the much
missed maple. "The best way to
make the pin with a curve ball is to
aim at an imaginary spot on the edge
OF the alley about four-hfths Of the
way down, starting the ball on the
left a\few inches from the center OF
the drive This should be practiced
until the sphere breaks at the point
where IL is directed and continues its
course down the edge of the alley in
a comparatively straight line to the
pin. Very few bowlers are accurate
in shooting at No. 10. Some of tha
curve ball rollers have developed an
efficient straight ball to roll down
the side OF the alley an inch or so
from the gutter, and others have
found shooting a straight one diagon-
ally across the alley effective"

If this were Il season when the best Judgment Of

that might bc warped into variety Of friendships
for the now alien enemy.
But the big men Of tli" country. Of this territory
and of this city are not wasting t..er time in the
nasty t,eevsl dog fights Of personal and faCtional
politics There is other business to do. The bust
i-css Of the nation calls men to BROADER service
and to a unity Of action that disrcgards par
tiZanship. and certainly small personalities.
1t is true that the feeling is steadily growing in
Honolulu that the authorities are not vigorous as
they should be in dealing with alien enemies, and
also with enemies of the hyphenatcd brand who
greedy accept all the protection given them h.
their citizenship.
But this sentiment in favor of closing down on
the enemy will never be made effective by calling
one another or the officials unpleasant names and
making faces. Honolulu has gained a very I'M
Eayory reputation with national officials through its
handling of ordinary political activities. 1t can
accomplish nothing worth while, and the faction
breeders can furnish aid in the present crisis by
continuing the old methods. II this should he done
during the war period the petty faction breeders
would find themselves the first objects of attention
when the disguised community stirred to the point
of action might find vigorous vigilance necessary.
The best way to be patriotic these days is for
each individual to do his obvious duty, devoting
less time to the criticism of his fellows If he knows
of reasonable action the part of anyone, it is
his duty to report the facts to the authorities and
keep his own mouth shut. If the local authorities
do not take action within reasonable period their
failure will be taken of by the loyal watch
ing the situation in Hawaii.
