ALL-AMERICAN
STAR is DEAD

South Bend, Ind, Dec. 18.-George
Gipp, Notre Dame football star, died
at 1928 o'clock this morning from
streptococcic throat disease.
Gipp, whose splendid playing won
him countrywide recognition and
made him choice for a position on
an all-American eleven, had been i'll
since the Notre Dame-Northwestern
game on November 20.
Pneumonia also helped weaken
the athelete. Specialists called from
Chicago succeeded in Riding the
system of pneumonia, however, but
Gipp did not have the stamina left
to ward off the poison resulting
from the throat affection.
During the final hours of his
fight for life, Gipp was rational anC
was said to show remarkable grit
as he gradually weakened, refusing
to give up to the inevitable. His
mother, brother and sister were a
the bedside when he died.
Gipp first jumped into the spot

whda Notre Dame clashed with TIL
army in 1919, when his kicking, for
ward passing, field running and gen

he had been selected as a player on
a mythical all-American eleven. Dur

that he had been offered contract

ball player was on par with that of
football.
Gipp was "a years old. His home

BLOW AGAINST ROOT

Should the indications early in Janu- ary portend such a compromise between democrats and republicans as to make ratification more or less certain, the bit ter-enders' would go the very limit of their power. Both Johnson and Borah are powerful men. They are especially powerful because the "standpat' repub- licans fear them. They stand an ever present threat to do to the republican organization what Roosevelt did in 1912 And that they could be as destructive to republican hopes as the erstwhile great insurgent is apparently certain.
 It is not known what steps the bit ter-enders" would take. Already, how ever they have shown their hand They have permitted information to reach Harding that they would consider it personal affront should he put Elihu

 PRO-LEAGUERS AGGRESSIVE

The prologue republicans who sup ported Harding as result of secret in- formation that if elected he would col laborate with them regarding the league, are preparing themselves for a fight to the finish. It is reported that they have raised a considerable sum of money with which to create public sympathy with the idea of putting the United States on a basis of cooperation with other governments of the world.
 They would precipitate the fight quick ly in order that ratification might be effected prior to the inauguration of new President. They are determined if possible to make it unnecessary for Harding to carry out his promise to make a separate peace with Germany. This idea is regarded by them as more or less dishonorable, and therefore, ''un- thinkable"
 They would not hace United States, in other words, abandon allies with which it fought the war. And in the second place, they think that the people of the United States would prefer to impose terms of peace on Germany rather than

 MUST CONSIDER WILSON

In the entire programme, as it in wolves either the "btter-enders'' or the pro-leaguers, Woodrow Wilson must be considered. In the first place, it is gen. erally thought that he will initiate the fight by sending to the Senate early in December, the original covenant. In the second place, it is known that were the Congress to re-enact the Knox res olution declaring for a separate peace, he would again veto it. In the third place. the pro-league republicans who would have the covenant ratified before Harding assumes the reins of govern meLt, know that they must secure rati- f:cation without destructive reservations if Wilson is to approve such ratifica- ticn.
 It is learned on very excellent authori- ty that the democrats under the leader ship of Senator Underwood, will meet Senator Lodge in an honest effort at compromise provided the republican leader admits a desire to ratify rather than destroy. It is also learned that the republicans would be willing to rat fly without Article x, and that this concession will not be satisfactory to the President. At the same time, the President is said to be willing that it be stated in the covenant, regarding Article x, that the United States cannot be thrust into war without the direct con- sent to Congress
