HALAS POINTS MEN
FOR NORTHWESTERN
CONTEST SATURDAY.
ROckne Drills Track Team for
Michigan Aggie Meet at
Lansing.

The baseball game scheduled be-
tween Beloit and Notre Dame for
Cartier field Thursday afternc>n was
called on Wednesday afternoon fol-
lowing the receipt OF word from the
Wisconsin school. Coach Halas Is
now printing his men for the North
western contest on Saturday at 2:SO
o'clock.
Beioit was originally scheduled 20
play Valparaiso on Friday and the
game with Notrc Dame F@ss arrang
ed as convenient contest for both
teams. Vaipo cancelled on Beloit
and as a consequence the Western
school did not feel justified In max
ing the long trip for tho one game
with Notre Dame.
while no reason :or the ValpO
cancellation was given - Is suppos-
ed 20 have resulted from a recent
notice sent out from the down state
school that the new president OF tire
Institution would revert the policy
OF the school 20 its traditional atti-
tude d TO outside athletic compo-
titioE.
Until tho last few years Valpara-
iso has maintained that :olicy rath-
er strictly. and the cancellation OF
the Beloit game Is indicative OF the
return 10 the ancient policy. AS
result. schools that have cancelled
football contests with Valpo next
fall seem 10 be out OF luck.

gies meet viii furnish the last ac-
tive competition previous TO the two

binary men Of the squad.

Organize Swimming Team.
Arrangements TO send a swimming
team To participate in meet at
Culver on Saturday were commenc-
ed Wednesday. While the time is
short and finds the local swimmers
practically out of condition, it is eX-
pected that a creditable group can
be gathered for the 2O0-yard breast
stroke and the 5OO-yard free style
events in which Notre Dame will be
entered.
Swimming would be a popular
sport II attempted upon the same
scale as boxing. tennis and hockey
and il is 10 be hoped that the pres
emf humble beginning may lead TO
greater things The movement is
given an added note Of interest by
the commencement made this week
that oil future graduates OF the
school will be required 10 swim 100
yards before they win be awarded
diploma.
