STARS
Sea Soldiers Con1bing Ranks
to Rebuild Crack Guam
tico Team.

Plans for athletic contests on a
big scale have been made by the
United States marines of the Guam.
tico training camp. The marines are
working like beavers to complete
their new stadium in time for the
first baseball game of the season,
scheduled with Harvard University.
Flushed with their victory of last
season, when. the marines won the
military baseball championship of
the East coast, the soldiers of the
sea are already combing their ranks
for diamond stars who will measure
up to the standard set by the Guam
tico baseball team of last year, which
won thirty-nine out of forty-three
games.
Football is to play a prominent
part in the marines athletic pro-
gram. Seven college teams have
made arrangements to meet the
Quantico footballeFs on the gridiron
this year. Bids are being made to
play Princeton, and the marines
have hopes of eventually meeting the
redoubtable Tiger eleven.
The stadium at Quantico ordinarily
would have cost $500, 900, but by
ealvaging materials. quarrying their
own rock and performing all the
labor themselves the mar ines expect
to complete 1t at a cost Of but $4,000,
which they will pay out of their own
amusement fund.

KNUTE ROCkNE

Notre Dame Football Mentor,
However, Declares He Will
Keep Present Job.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. Feb. "a
Any time some big college releases
it's football coach, the name of
Knute Rockne, famous football
mentor at Notre Dame, is promi.
nently mentioned as his successor.
The remarkable success of Rockne
at Notre Dame has made him
much sought-after coach. Since
the close of the football season he
has had a dozen offers, most Of
them involving a salary far in ex-
cess of what he will receive at
Notre Dame.
However, all the reports about
Rockne leaving Notre Dame are
mere piffle. Rockne gained foot
ball fame as a Notre Dame player
and the love of his alma mater Ia
strong. These. words by Rockne
should put to rest all rumors that
he is to quit Notre Dame:
at am under contract to Notre
Dame and intend to live up to it.
My contract does not expire until
1925. have had many offers, but
there is no chance to accept"

BALL PLAYERS
WOE.|S BIC
APPETITE
Many an AIiment Blamed on
Diamond That Belongs to
Pie Knife.

In far-off Arkansas and Texas
numerous veteran baseball players
are splashing in hot springs trying
bravely to get rid of avoirdupois
collected during the winter months
by oVerindulgence in French pastries
and pumpkin pies. Outside of the
ability to play ball, the one asset
the major Lacquer must have is an
ability to control his ravenous ap-
petite.
The ball player hasn't much
sympathy with the &theories of diet.
For the first few days, while watch
full eyes are on him at the table,
he takes things easy, but later on
he eats and eats and has to work
harder and take more hot water
baths to offset the devastating
effect of gorgeous foods.
On a rough guess it is estimate
that a baseball player toys with
enough vitamines during a spring
training trip to keep whole
province of hungry Russians in ex-
cellent health for six months.
Many an ailment which the ball
player believes is due to overexer-
ton from galloping from first to
second is only a case of Indigestion.

Today Central should be in fine

achieved the first victory gained
over the Episcopal High School team
of Alexandra this season. In two
previous engagements Episcopal
had overthrow Central.
Expectations failed to materialize
when Central took EpiscopaFs meas
ure in the South Atlantic semi-finals
by score of 81 to 81.
Central was thought to have an
exceptionally large team, for school.

peared small compared with the
Alexandra youngsters.
The latter's size was figured by
the sharks as too much Of a handi.
cap for other teams i'm the series
to overcome, considering, too, that
the Episcopal lads play q fast
game.
Harrison Dey counted nineteen
times from the foul line for Central,
in twenty.eight attempts. This tells
the story Of Episcopal's defeat.
ASCLCHSS DEStlIS1H, OI
called 50 many fouls of the Alexan-
drians that they thought it was un-
fair, but from the sidelines it ap-
peared that Brennan was merely
strict. Morton, Tyler, and Daniel
were retired from the game because
of personal fouling.
Eastern knocked off it's great
rival, Western, with surprising ease.
Western was off form in basket
shooting and this, coupled with
Eastern's stonewall defense, held
the Red team to two field goals,
made by Forward Dulin.
Every Eastern player managed
to score at least one goal from
sCrimmagc, and all covered the
floor effectively.
Joe O'Dea, Eastern sharpshooter
from scr1n1mage and foul line, was
the high scorer OF the game with
two field goals and six successful
free losses in eight tries.
Western and Eastern will meet
again. Next Tuesday they will. play
the game which will settle the in

He Leaves a Pip.

IN NALLY, Wild Bill, who
played ahead of De Orc,
left a pip. He stuck the cue
ball up against the cushion right
behind a red 80 that De Orc
couldn't possibly shoot at col
ored ball without first hitting
the red, and that would be a foul.
De Orc had to hit the pink
ball, which was called for, or lose
six points. 1t was an IMPOSSI-
BILE SHOT.
The left-handed wizard rubbed
his chin as he looked the shot
over and, calling Hirsch to his
side, said: "Well, Sam, what'll we
do here?"
Sam, with a very serious map,
looked the table over. He khelt
down to get angles, and stood
on the opposite side of the table
to figure it from there. Finally
he scratched his head and, walk
ing back to sit down, said: "USE

and has played at seaside courses
where stiff ocean winds blew all the
