IAN OUT ON THREE STRIKES; MILF STOCK CALL
COLUMBIA MAY
GET RICE AGAIN
Famous Rowing C GA c h
Likely to Return to Morn
ingside Oarsmen
NOT UNDER CONTRACT

New York. Dec. 6.-There isn't any
doubt tina. former rowing coach Of
Columbia Jim Rice intends to make d
good haul this coming season In the
rowing department. Every one is aware
that his affiliations with Columbia al
the present time are about as good as
severed. But this does not necessarily
mean that this breaking off of relations
will remain indefinitely.
According to the latest reports the
esteemed rowing coach, who sent the
Blue and White oarsmen through many
7 well-earned victory. may once again
be on duty when the rowing season
arrives. There is nothing certain thai
he will. but there is Just as mucf
authority that he will be with Colum.
bia as there is regarding the possibility
of his going to a western institution
One thing is certain, Rice has not sign
ed for next season.
There may be a II tie more news un-
raveled that would lead one to believe
that the former Columbia rowing
authority VIII return 10 Ills "ell-Qudil-
fed berth But for the present this will
not do, as Coach Rice Is daily besleged
by individuals asking for a late story.
And as he has not made any definite
plans so far. he very idea of sending
him all over the country at least adds
to the perplexity,
C. Halsted Mapes chairman of the
athletic committee at Columbia Univer-
sity, stated last night there was no
founda ion at present for the story that
lanes Rice would return to the Blue
and White institution shortly to handle
the rowing squad. "The mat er of row.
ing at the college has never been dis
cussed and no overtures have been made
to Mr.. Rice to come back" he said. "A
present we are too busy at the college
to take up the matter. However, thl'
does not mean tina, Mr.. Rice will no
coach the Columbia crew."

COLLEGE TRACKS
ARRANGE PLANS
FOR NEXT YEAR
Franklin Field or Cambridge Fa,
vored for 1919 Intercol.
legiate Meet

With the holding of the 1919 intercol-
,egiate A. A. A. A. track and field cham
pionships an almost sure thing because
of the sudden ending of the war, interest
now centers in the probable pace at
which the big college games will be held.
Franklin Field and the Harvard
Stadium at Cambridge look to be the
most likely places mentioned for the "in-
tercollegiates." 1t Is understood that
both Penn and Harvard will invite the
colleges to their respective athletic homes
when the Intercollegiate A. A. A. A. holds
its annual winter confab.
There has been some question as to
the condition of the track at the Har-
ward Stadium because of that field being
used for military training purposes for
the last eighteen months.
ThiA doubt has been dispelled by a
recent inspection Of the track by an ex
pert. who declared that the Stadium
track can be put in the finest condition
with two weeks of grooming
Competent judges OF the situation are
inclined to think that the colleges In
their annual meeting will vote in favor
OF Franklin Field because of the fact
that Penn, through her Continuation
policy. has taken a commanding position
tn the college athletic world

Last spring there was little banquet
for O'Keefe at the Bingham. No one
could find the reason for the party and

NURSES
ARE NEEDED

The governemnt has called for 1000
graduated nurses per week for a per-
iod of eight weeks, and North Dakota
is asked to furnish sixteen of these
each week for that period. Unless the
government secures the necessary
number, there will probably be draft
orders issued, and it is the aim and de-
sire Of the Red Cross that it will not
become necessary to draft. It is ur-
gently requested that every graduate,
registered or practical nurse in North
Dakota register at once. The North
western district of North Dakota is
expected to furnish five nurses each
week,and the territory included in this
district are the counties of Grand
Forks, Pembina, Cavalier Ramsey,
Nelson, Towner, Benson, Rolette and
Pierce. In North Dakota the work
will be carried on under the special
direction of the State Headquarters
and the Red Cross Chapters, with the
active cooperation Of the nurses Sec
reatries. If you are a nurse and have
not registered, do so at once.
