Marines bedtime came, and Jacques
fixed his presents In preparation for
the morrow. He had found Christ

he made into a little tree under which
he placed his gifts.
Christmas morning dawned brightly
In the little French home. Jacques
surprise was complete, for Marthe

and she was on her way. She stopped
little way down the street, however,
wrote something down, then hurried
on.
Another half hour found Jacques
hugging an orange and a little doll
under his coat as he trudged along
home. When he opened the door a
little voice started chanting, "Frere
Jacques, Frere Jacques-you're late

'sYes. Marthe. Today I was talk

ketball squad walloped the Musca-
tine Y. w. c. A. last night in the
local Y. NJ. C. A. gym by lopsided
score of SO to 6.
The game was onesided all the
way. From the sound of the open
ing whistle the local Y. w. started
to walk away from the Iowans. The
home fighters considerably out
weighed the Muscatine girls and
the visitors were unable to over
come the whirlWind attack launch
ed at the beginning of the contest
After a comfortable lead had been
established many substitutions were
made on the home five.
ID. Schoessel, captain of the 10
Gals, was the shining light of the
contest, making 80 of the SO points
by IA field goals and four free
throws. Other points were regis
tered by B. Richardson and L. Put
nam. Muscatine's total of two field
baskets were made by E. McCor-

5 TIMES WINNERS,
TO BATTLE IOWA

Champaign, ILL.,, March 11.-With
five victories to their credit, Uni
versity of Illinois wrestlers will
meet Iowa here March II in the
final conference dual meet and
with good prospects, according 10
local observers, of taking the Big
Ten championship. In the three
years that Paul Prehn has coached
the team, Indian matmen have lost
only one dual match. Coach Prehn
was not present at that meet. He
brought the championship to Illi-
nois the first year, but bad luck
overlook him last year.
This year the coach was handi-
capped by the loss of several good
men, but he has built up a fast
team despite this. Among those
missing from the team is McGill.
one of the stars of the conference,
who dropped out of school. The
squad is now composed of McMil-
len and Esslinger, heavies; PLAYER
and Moreland, middleweights !:
Trenkle, welterweight; Kalas and
Jacks, lightweights, and Flostrom

Will COMPLETE
ISLANDER GRID
SCHEDULE SOON
Attempt to Sign Up Maeomb for
This Years Card-LOcals to
Have Strong Lineup.
BY ART WILLIAMS.

The football schedule Of the
Rock Island high school. to con-
sist of 10 or II games, will be COM
pleted in short time, Manager
Clark has announced.
A number of the teams that were
on last years schedule have been
signed this year and the manager
is dickering with Macomb high
school for a battle. The Macomb
school supported strong aggre-
CATION last year. Two of the strong
est teams that the Islanders will
meet on the card are Galesburg
and Monmouth. Sterling has been
signed up and an attempt will be
made to get a Peoria school also.
The Islanders should have a
strong squad this year, even
though DOMAIN, last years center
and captain, and Lamp, Pannell
and Searle, three end men, will be
out of the lineup. Floyd Hall will
be back in the harness to lead the
gridders through the season. Hall
is a veteran player and should
make a good leader. The back field
will not be injured by graduations
and will still have Rinck, Hunter
and Olson, with several other men
who showed promise of making the
regulars step to hold down their
positions last year. Shelter will be
back at quarter and Alvine, Mayer,
Chambers, Anderson, Reed, Ramser
and Ash will all probably cop
places on the line. A big turnout
is expected for next year and
Coach Kimmel is enthusiastic as to
the material he will have to work
with. At least II men who will be
candidates for the team are
experienced players and displayed
class last year. The high school
still has a number of other men
who will respond at the opening
of the season.

New York, March 11.-Betting on
the Gibbons-Greb fight, which takes
place on Monday at Madison Square
Garden has been growing brisk and
it is interesting to note that the
shrewdest bettors are drawing the
odds until today you hear of 6 to 5
on the st. Paul walloper. Other
bets of 7 to S have been recorded
but not in large sums and not by
well known gambling experts. Even
money is offered that Greb will go
the distance and there are takers
on this basis. II the Pittsburgher
doesn't have to concede more than
ten pounds, a lot of men on the
fence will figure the proposition as
an even money bet but it looks now
as though Greb will give away
more than that.

SPENCER TEAM
DEFEATS MILAN
Davenport and Masters Stars for
Rock Island In Hard
Fought Game.

Spencer Memorial basketball
team defeated the strong Milan
team last night in the Milan town
hall, 24-10. The game was hard
fought throughout and was so
thrilling that it kept the crowd on
edge during the whole time. The
Milan boys played hard throughout
the contest but were unable TO
overcome the lead which the To-
Gals acquired early in the contest.
The score at end of the first half
was 14-3. Davenport and Masters
led the scoring for the locals, each
player sinking four baskets, while
Herbert hit the loop for two count
ers. The real feature of the game,
however, was the defensive play
ing of Roberts and Knanishu.
These two men stopped all short
shots and broke up Milan's team
work, time and time again. They
held Milan to one field goal during
the first half and three during the
last half.

cellent games for Milan on defense

IOWA To BUILD
A BIG STADIUM
Plan Structure to Seat $4,000 PEG
ple-Work is Being Rapidly
Pushed.

Iowa City, March 11.-PIans for
a new stadium on Iowa field at the
University of Iowa which, when
completed will seat $4,000 people,
are now perfected, and the first
steps in construction work under
way.
Work to be completed by June
2, when the western conference
track meet is to be held here, will
provide a seating capacity of ap-
proximately $4,000 for the event.
The method of financing the
project is unique. The board of
control is financing the construc-
ton work with the proceeds of
bond issues which will be redeem
ed by the gate" The bonds were
quickly absorbed and will be re-
deemed by the net proceeds of ath-
letic contests.
The stadium, when completed,
will be ~" shaped.
Construction work planned for
this year will cost approximately
$50, 900. To complete the project
would require approximately $780,
600, but this work will not be
started until the athletic depart
ment has paid off its present IN
debtedness of 100000 incurred by
the program now in execution.

SIX MAJORSI
ACTION TODAY
Cubs Lose to Portland Yesterday, .

Drive.

Chicago. March IL. - Six major
league teams will respond to the

schedule of exhibition games for
today is:
st. Louis Browns at Mobile.
Cleveland VS.. St. Louis Nationals
at Dallas.
Cubs vs.. Los Angeles.

tonic.
Yesterday the Cubs lost, is, to
the Portland, Pacific Coast league
team when Outfelder Cox of the
Coasters drove in two runs and
himself on a long circuit drive.
Gleason is putting a crippled line
up against the Giants, due to the
failure of some first line defend
ers to appear for training. The
other clubs, however, are putting
into todays games as near their
1922 league lineup as possible. The
game at Dallas is expected to be
one of the best of the days card,
and viii show Stuffy McInnis in an
Indian suit for the first time.
Routine marks the several other
camps. At Tampa, Fla, Clyde Mi
Ian, new manager of the Senators,
served notice that he values disci-
pline by indefinitely suspending
Leon Goslin, recruit, who had earn
ed a regular berth. Infraction of
the training rules was the reason.
At San Antonio, McGraw announced
that Bancroft would be leadoff, fol-
lowed by Groh' and Young, with
Frank F'risch, the Fordham flash,
batting in cleanup position.

BIKE RIDERS ARE
LONG ON EATING
Ten Meals Daily During Six-Day
Grind Nothing for Majority
of Them.

Chicago, March linen who eat
as often as 10 times daily and snatch
their sleep in minutes, rather than
hourly doses, make up the coterie
OF athletes who ride in the siX-day
bicycle races in America, according
to the trainers who handle these
athletes.
Aside from the riding itself, eat
ing is one of the best things the
athletes do. Nor is their appetite
during the six day grind of the
"pork-an-beans" variety. 1t is moth
ing if not epicurean, the riders dis
playing in some cases marked
flashes of temperament in selecting
articles Of food.
Steaks are most popular among
riders. Eggs in a variety of forms,
chicken prepared in every conceiv-
able manner and fruits are also
eaten abundantly. Coffee is drunk
in great quantities.
Some riders are satisfied with
four or five meals daily, while 9TH
ers eat double that number. Train
ers explain these lusty appetites are
due to the constant tearing down of
tissues of the riders body, owing to
the continued pedalling about the
track. The body requires plenty of
ammunition" to enable the rider to
drive his wheel along the wooden
track for the LAG hours of the race.
AS far as sleep is concerned,
there are no Rip Van Wrinkles rid
ing in the six day races. The rid
ers' sleep comes in periods that av-
erage three to four hours, are more
often less than an hour and very
rarely are stretched out to eight
hous. For a rider to get an eight
hour sleep, however, means that his
partner must remain on the track,
riding against the field, that long,
and this is feat not often at
tempted, requiring as it does pro-
nounced endurance on the part of
the rider.

O'LEARY TAKES
OFFER OF COLE
TO THINK OVER
Manager of Decatur Club ConfsrS
With Islander Officials Yes.
terday Afternoon.
BIZ ]. /. HUGHES.

Following a conference with
Rock Island baseball officials yes
terday, Dan O'Leary, manager Of
the Decatur club. returned to his
home in Orion with a proposition tn
consider.
While nothing official has been
diyulged. it is understood that Bill
Cole, leading Three-Eye league out
fielder last season, was the sub-
ject around which the discussion
centered. O'Leary, it appears.
would like to have Cole in his lima
up when the tri-optic season be-
gins Rock Island wouldn't mind
letting Decatur have Cole for
cash consideration.
The local association is under
stood to have agreed to transfer
Cole to O'Leary's newly organized
club for a certain sum of money.
Dan took the proposal under ad-
visement and said he proba v
would return to Rock Island Mon
day, at which time something def
mite may develop. In the mean
time he plans to communicate
Rock Islands proposition to off,
Gals of the Decatur association.
Campaign at Waterloo.
Waterloo, which recently con-
pleted its organization with excep-
ton of naming directors, is to IN
dertake a campaign for raising If
$4,000 to finance the new team.
The Greater Waterloo Association
is to direct the drive. Fun are
particularly urgent at this time to
provide a proper playing field. The
site has been selected but much
remains to be done in the way Of
improvements.
Nothing much has been heard
from Waterloo anent the signing Of
players, but word from that city
indicates the matter is not greatly
worrying the officials. Waterloo
expects no difficulty landing a fast
team since it is said the woods
Whereabouts are full of excellent,
available material.
At Cedar Rapids affairs Of the
club are going ahead in fine style
under the management of the club
operators and Billy Speas, man
ager. Speas, while not there in
person, nevertheless already has
his hand at the helm in the mat
ter of locating talent. President
Belden Hill has signed about eight
men, all but one of whom comes
under the rookie rule. The exeep-
ton is Ralph Michael, who started
with the Bunnies last season and
was later turned over to the Rock
ford club.
Larry Mullen at Dubuque plans
to call upon about 20 players to re-
port for spring training.
Piows Book Games.
Manager Earl Mack OF the Moline
Pillow Boys has notified headquar-
tiers that he has 25 exhibition games
booked already and five dates ten
tatively arranged. Twelve contests
will be played in MorgantoWn, N.
c., where the club is to train. The
schedule includes games with col
lege, major league and semi-pro
teams. The club will work its way
west into Kentucky and thence up
through Illinois to Moline.
