things Going Good at Washington.


Considering how Golfers has abused the
administration and fought its reelection,
the following from its columns is quite
reassuring::
are things going at Washington There
are two answers. One would be a
mist's. One is that things are being
more SO han in England at the begin
ming of the war. The other is that
things might go even more speedily
But the truer answer is the optimist's.
You can't turn a whole nation into "a
war machine overnight. You can'tfreachi
in a. few weeks the military efficiency
Germany took 40 years to attain. And,
when the emergency comes. necessarily
some false starts will be ~made-steps will
be taken which seem wise at first, but
later have to be retraced. The outstand-

is not at Washington, which remains at it's
accustomed posts, is in touch with the
ability that Is at Washington and CO..

than generous.
Y or course there is necessity for a GER
tain amount of reconciliation between the
old way of doing things and thetnew. h

necessity for adjustment between them.
In whatever lis important, the business
way prevails because the business way is
the way OF logic and speed.

STORE LEAGUE
CAP TA|NS NAMED
Commercial Basket Ball Play
erS to Open Season Next
Wednesday.

Final steps were taken Wednes-
day night at the Y. NJ. c. A, for
the opening of the eighth annual
season of the Commercial Basket
ball league, with the selection of
the most experienced men as cap
tains. Physical Director Cooper
picked the following men as leaders !:
COlhmeyer captain of the smith and
Wherritt team. Elbel for the Elbel
Bros. team, Rhodes for the SpirO
team and Cocheveti for the Clauer
aggregation.
COlhmeyer is a new man in the
Commercial league. but has a wide
reputation in the east where he
played with the Springfield Y. NJ.
G. A. college team. Elbel is an old
Commercial league star of five years
experience. Rhodes played on the
Clauer team last year, which was a
runner up in the league race. He
gained quite reputation as a
guard. Cocheveti has played in the
Commercial league Tor five years
and was a member Of last years high
school championship team.
About 25 men reported for prac-
tice and INDUCED in a long scrim-
mage. The men are rounding in
to form and indications are that
the league will be as fast this year
as ever in spite of the fact that a
number of last years men have en-
listed in the army. The number of
teams in the league has been cut
from six TO four.
The games will be played each
Wednesday night, beginning next
week, at the Y. NJ. G. A. and Will
be free to the public Ample seating
space has been provided and new
radiation installed TO insure COM
fort for the spectators.

HARPER PUTS ON INITIAL
BASKET BALL SCRIMMAGE

Yesterday marked the first scrim-
mage of the current basketball sea-
son at Notre Dame. In the absence
of Coach Harper Capt. King had
charge Of the squad, and after the
score Of candidates had practiced
shooting baskets for a long time the
leader selected two teams, and
staged regular" game. As
might be imagined individual play
was far more noticeable than team
play, but for all that several likely
candidates could be discerned.
O'Connor played a good game at
center, his jumping being very good
and his floor work fair. Smith and
Slime. in better physical condition
no doubt for their hard work the
past three months on the football
team, showed a lot Of aggressive
ness. and kept the other players on
the jump chasing them. McDer-
mott. who was a substitute part Of
last season. and Giblin. a newcomer
in athletics at Notre Dame. were
others who attracted attention to
themselves by their good playing.
James Hilary Red" Ryan, sub
stitute funback on the football
team throughout the season just
passed. has Joined the radio service
in the naval department. and has
been ordered 70 Harvard university
for preliminary training.

TO DROP MICHIGAN.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Dec. cit
is more than probable that the foot
bali elevens of Michigan and Penn
sylvania will not meet again next
fall. although this annual game has
been popular with both colleges.
The announcement that the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania authorities are
trying to substitute a game with
Georgia Tech. is the cause of some
satisfaction here.
Ii has been understood that Mich
igan hopes to play Minnesota and
Ohio State next autumn. and that
the scheduling Of these games would
make a game with Pennsylvania i'm
possible. Because of the many
courtesies shown Michigan by the
eastern college, the members Of the
Michigan athletic board of control
decided to make no official an
nouncement until the matter was
threshed out with the University OF
Pennsylvania officials. IT is be-
lieved here that the first step 10
clear up the situation and there
fore, TO help Michigan arrange for
important conference games next
season. has been taken by Pennsyl-
vania.

MIKE FOuKROP
STOPS INDIANA
loWly Scrub on Camp Shelby
Team Once Played With
Huebner'S Here.

Another case OF the lowly scrub
sootbaH player turning out 20 be the
savior Of his team in the big" game
came to light at Camp Shelby when
the Shelby team met Indiana a short
time ago.
The hero Of this game was Nike
Poukrop. a local boy who was
member OF the former Huebner
team OF this city. When Mike went
10 Hattiesburg he had football am
billions and reported for practice
when the call went out for candi-
dates. but though he struggled
through every gruelliug practice he
was Oanished 20 the sidelines when
the games were played.
At the start Of the Indiana game
the heavy crimson bac'CheId began
tearing great holes in the Camp
Shelby line. gaining on every play.
Finally. in desperation Coach Lieut.
Vaughn put Poukrop in at guard
because he had no one else 10 use
and with no hope OF stemming the
tide. PVT Mike saved the day. He
had not been deemed worthy Of a
neat, close fitting jersey such as the
rest OF the squad wore, but was clad
in his own substitute. an old gray
hannel shirt
Mike Stops Everything.
When Mike took his place at
guard the Indiana quarterback at
once directed his crashing backield
ar the weakened point; for some
reason they stopped as though they
had struck n brick wall; again the
same play was tried and again for
some reason IL failed and it dawned
upon everyone, players and specta-
tors alike that Mike was the "rea-
SON" From that moment until the
game ended. a tie. TO z. Indiana
was on the defensive. The old gray
shirt was everywhere. stopping plays
that came on his side OF the line
and diving through and grabbing
opposing backs by the heels when
the plays went TO the other side.
Everyone knew after the game
how il was saved for Camp Shelby
but the name Of the Scrub who
had made it possible still remained
r secret.

THAT the young men of the county ap-

to better them
Unouestionably something must be
done in this county to secure the roads
which are the due of its citizens; un-
questienably it will take a fight, and
then fight to secure such conditions.
II will take patience, energy, and hard

ideals in roads; the citizenship of this
county measures un to TIE require

them badly enough.
Citizens Of Lawrence county do not

fitted by our labors upon said days, but
the great benefit that will be derived
