Wen every one was waiting impat-

the port holes. Mother" he called,

Noah laid down her work basket

his hand
Japheth led out the big white horse,
and after helping Puss Junior to
mount led him into the centre ring.
Shem then opened the big door in
the Ark and all the animals SOL
emily marched out and arranged
themselves about the rings. Next
came Ham, leading his two wrest-
ling monkeys, and after him came
Shem with his elephant. Mr.. Jonah,
towering above the heads of the
taIIest animals, including the
giraffe: announced that the circus
would commence.

his beautiful white horse, Marsh

clapping of hands, hoofs and paws
at this announcement, for Puss had

fun commenced. Ham held up a
hoop, which he had carefully COW

ROCKNE RETURNS
WITH RELAYERS
Coach is Well Satisfied With
the Showing of
His Men.

Coach Knute X. Rockne and the
Notre Dame four-mile relay team
which finished second at the Drake
relay carnival in Des Moines Sat
urday, returned home Sunday night.
Rockne stated that his men-Mur-
ply. Van Wonterghen, Sweeney and
Call-ran one of the gamest races
he ever saw.
Fifteen minutes before the races
were scheduled TO start at Des
Moines Saturday, snow commenced
TO fall steadily, and in no time the
Drake stadium was covered. SO
high was the wind and so fast was
the snow falling that all the uni
versities at the meet with the eXcep-
ton of Chicago and Wisconsin,
withdrew their entries in the two
mile university relay. They hoped
that the snow would slacken before
the other races were called. 1t
didn't Instead it increased as the
afternoon wore on and the temper
allure continued TO drop
By the time the four-mile relay
the only event in which NOtre Dame
was entered-was called. the coach
es had come to the conclusion that
the weather conditions were not
going to change Immediately. Con-
sequently there were four entries for
the distance affair-Chicago. Ames.
Nebrask and Notre Dame. Missouri
and Wisconsin withdrew at the last
minute.
Ames took the lead in the first
relay and was never headed. The
only race was between Chicago and
Notre Dame. Murphy, the first gold
and blue runner. finished about 80
yards behind Chicago, but Van Won
terghen not only made up the lost
ground but gained about as much
more when he had run his mile.
Sweeney had increased the NOtre
Dame lead TO so yards when he
turned the Notre Dame baton over
to Call. who was pitted against
McCosh Of Chicago. the fastest
miller at the meet. McCosh gained
slightly on Call but he could not en-
ploy his great speed to advantage
and he could not overcome the wide
gap his teammates had allowed
Notre Dame 10 gain.
