Congress and the Bonus
CFrom Christian Science Monitor.)

At this time a bill giving further
bonus to former service men OF the
United states is. of course. a political
maneuver. Most people, including
most Of the Senators and represen-
tatives and even many of the former
service men themselves, see the fol-
ly of such a payment now. In the
American Legion itself there is
comparatively little demand for a
further cash bonus, for many mem
bers who have considered the sub
ject carefully feel that special forms
of training and opportunities for
settlement on land that is capable
Of development constitute much
more practicable help than cash
payment. The special consideration
OF the bill now is, therefore, a man
euver to enable members of both
houses Of Congress to point later to
the fact that they favored gener-
osity to the former service men. It
is probable that the bill will not even
come to a decisive vote, but that
action will be deferred in some quiet
way that will put no one at a pol
itical disadvantage later because Of
his vote.
A cash bonus Involving a large is
sue OF new bonds would be. as An
drew w. Mellon Secretary Of the
Treasury, has pointed out a load
upon the whole people in the form
OF increased charges, increased
taxes, and Increased cost OF living"
He might also have shown that
much Of this load would fan on the
4,0oD,0Oo former service men them
selves, WHO constitute a large part
OF those who pay taxes directly and
indirectly. In. fact, in many cases
the amount of the bonus would be
more than counterbalanced by de-

probation on bonds owned by the
recipients and by the increase in ex-
penses generally.
Unquestionably the former service
men deserve the best that the nation
can give them; but it requires in
telligent discernment to see what is
best for them. Though they need
training in work and aid in securing
work, most of them do not need cash
payments, which would not be
enough to use as capital for agricul-
ture or business, but which would
in many cases. be speedily spent for
goods OF only temporary value. In

Penn Tries out
Ne70 Foul Rule
New Plan Would Abolish Foul
Tries and Make Play
ers Wary.

Last year the University of Penn
sylvania team won the eastern inter
collegiate championship large y
through the ability of one player 10
shoot baskets from fouls.
In a number of games Penn vas
outplayed in the matter Of field
goals. The proficiency of the Penn
foul thrower decided these games in
favor of Penn.
The success OF Penn in winning a
championship under such conditions
caused much agitation for a change
in the foul rule.
In several OF the preliminary
games this year Penn has already
tried out a new foul rule. The Penn
management has proposed this rule
to the intercollegiate association.
If PENIS suggestion is adopted on
this new point, rule Is will read as
follows:
Section / When a foul has been
called, the referee shall Immediately
secure possession of the ball and
without delay place 1t in the posses
sion of the opponent OF the player
who has had a foul called upon him
TIE ball must be put in play again
within five seconds by the player
throwing, rolling or bouncing tine
/ ball TO another player. by dribbling
or by shooting for the goal ThC
l goal, If made. shall count two points
/ Section 2. The opponent OF the
player putting the ball in play, mus
I not stand within three feet of tn,
/ player with the ball, and he mus
not advance toward him until tn,
/ ball has left his possession. or il
/ case of a shot for a basket the player
has advanced and is in the act o
shooting
There has been considerable criti
cism TO this rule as proposed b!
/ Penn. II is feared by some of tn,
I coaches that it will slow up the gam,
/ considerably One thing is certain
II Will make players wary OF com
hitting a foul near there opponent

a chance for a field goal from unde

IRISH AND DEPAUW
TO MEET IN FIRST
BATTLE OF SEASON
Tiger Basketballers Listed as a
Premier Five and Are
Hard TO Beat.

Ten men Will leave Notre Dame
with Coach Walter Halas this morn
Ing on the pre-vacation training trip
Of the basketball squad Their first
stop Will be at Greencastle where
they are due % take on the speedy
Tiger five tonight: tomorrow they
Will meet Armour Tech in Chicago
and Saturday Northwestern will
furnish the opposition al Evanston.
Undoubtedly the hardest game OF
the trip will be played tonight. The
DePauw team has played several
games already, and disposed OF them
easily They have been working out
all fall. and none OF the men have
been hampered by football practice.
Notre Dame, however. will be meet
Ing her first opponent after a prac-
tice season only three weeks long.
Do not get the impression that
the fray will be a walkaway for De
PAW. however The Notre Dame
five will be composed largely Of
veterans, and if these men pull to-
gether. the Tigers will find them
selves up against mighty stiff oppo-
sition. One thing Notre Dame teams
always can do-hght The Irish can
be relied upon TO fight tonight-and
fighting team always has a chance.
Halas has been working the men
rapidly in the few weeks allotted
him, and his squad may surprise
everyone tonight.
Tech Strong.
Armour Tech has given Notre
Dame some tough battles in the
past. The scientists were reckoned
among the best college teams in III
nois last winter, and had several no
table victories to their credit. Notre
Dame beat them only after a real
scrap in which the Irish displayed
perhaps their best form. The
struggle tomorrow should be a rep
etitiOn Of that which occurred a year
ago.
Northwestern is a new basketball
rival Of Notre Dame. The Purple
usually do their best athletic work
on the court; although notably weak
in football and track, they number
among the leaders in conference
basketball. The Irish Will meet
them saturday night before return
ing to Notre Dame.
That game will end the basket
ball activities before Christmas. The
Irish will renew practice the day af-
ter, however. and get in shape to
meet Illinois Jan. 2, at Urbana
The Suckers will be met again on
Jan. 3, and two days later. Notre
Dame will play Butler at Indianap-
oils. The first home game will be
played with Kalamazoo Jan II. The
following men viii make the trip:
Kiley, McDermott, Logan, Kennedy.

spectacular than the kicking end OF
