THE AMERICAN FLAG.

The hundred and fortyseventh Independence Day has passes
and still this great Republic stands as a colossus beside the tmr
teen states of 1776. Our fathers builded better than they knew
and the nation they established has grown step by step westward
until the last frontier is gone and states galore occupy the region
formerly trackless plains and forests. Not smooth sailing has it
been. Local jealousies, crooked politicians, men mad in the race
for wealth have been the thorns which have made Uncle Sans
bed not too restful yet out of it all he has emerged stronger, rich
er and more powerful.
The voice of labor has been heard and the lot of the toiler is
many times better than in times past. This fact has attracted
aliens galore to our shores. So long as the immigration came from
the north of Europe the huge melting pot had no trouble in con-
verting the influx into useful, self respecting citizens but when the
races of southern Europe began to crowd in we found ourselves
overrun with a class who made of the land of liberty a land of IL
cense. Too late the fact was apparent and now the work of Amer
icanization must go on in order to remedy this fault.
In spite of all, our nation is better, stronger, more firmly in
trenched than ever and this problem will be solved as others have
been.
The American flag stands for performance. stability and the
opportunity for betterment. Most Americans look upon it with
respect and reverence, looking with disfavor upon the cheapening
of it by promiscuous use.
Since the last war there has arisen a tendency to display it
whenever there is a possible excuse. Lodges, fraternities, church.
es, Sunday schools and public schools have followed the movement
until at present hardly a meeting is held where the flag does not
using it as a cloak to hide their failures or to conceal their real
purposes.
The true American does not need to declare the fact contin-
uously lest outsiders should look upon him with suspicion, thinking
as Shakespeare expresses it HE doth protest too much"
Careless use of the flag is dissertation and familiarity breeds
contempt. :

BELT ENTERTAINS
HUGE CROWD ON
JULY FOURTH

Thousands of people crowded Cast
ner park in the afternoon to celebrat,
the Fourth. The park was literal,
filled with cars, every bit of available
parking space being utilized. Not less
than 5000 people were present. The
day was ideal and the crowd enjoyed
themselves. IT was a great disap-
pointment to the crowd that no band
was in attendance and that other at
fractions were missing.
The excuse for this is plausible
that so many men belonging to the
different organizations had gone to
Shelby that hardly any activity could
be carried through. No band was OBJ
tainable although the committee did
their best to secure one. An attempt
was made to resuscitate the Belt band
but life was extinct.
Boxing contests, races and other
sports were carried out successfully
before the grandstand. Races for
horses were run around the track and
private bucking contests were
off. The pavilion was very pop
ular with the young people and was
we'll ~patronized until the heavy rain
n the night put a damper on things.
The immense crowd were very or
and we have yet to hear of ac-
.idents or other trouble. The roads
began to get dusty about noon and
he grass in the park was trampled
nto the dust but a splendid rain came
night and this morning and
everything clean again. The
has come and gone. The chill
rem enjoyed even the firecrackers,
are supposed to be contraband. !

RICE INSTITUTE is
LOOKING FOR BANNER
YEAR in BASEBALL
Team Starts Practice With
Material Available for
All Jobs.

Houston, Tex, Jan. 27.-It has been
several years since the baseball pros
poets at Rice Institute have looked so
bright.
Coach Countryman has already been
working with the batterymen for two
weeks and the entire squad reported
for the initial workout Wednesday.
The greatest loss from last year is
Eddie Dyer who is now a member of
the st. Louis Cardinals. Catcher
Walker is also lost to the team, but
in Hale, Countryman has one of the
sweetest receivers in the conference.
While a member of the freshman team
last year, Hale showed great stuff and
summer in semi-pro circles around
! Mayfield, KY, has worked wonders with
him. MILFORD, who pastimed around
sbortstop for the first-year men last
PSeason, is out again and looks as good
as ever. At first base, Red Irvine of
! San Antonio will battle it out with
Adams for the first base job. Adams
lettered last year and it will be a merry
battle for the initial cushion. Swartz
2 who worked at third base last year
probably will be shifted to second base
I Ito team with MILFORD. Goodwin, a
substitute last year probably will get
4 the call for the hot corner job. In the

STEVENSON IN TOWN
TO TRAIN FOR BOUT
WITH GREEN TUESDAY
Kansas City BattIer Has
Met Good Men Among
200 Riuals.

Mel Stevenson of Kansas City. well
terweight opponent for durable Bobby
Green of San Antonio in the ten-round
main bout on next Tuesdays fight ball
at Beethoven Hall, has arrived from
FL Paso, where he defeated Bill Ayers
last Friday night, and will give the To-
cal fans a chance TO look him over in
training at the Continental Club Sun
day.
Stevenson, though he says he is only
"a years old. is veteran in experience,
having fought more than 200 battles,
many with the leaders of his division.
After losing to Sailor freeman, con-
sidered now one Of the best lightweight
extant, he later defeated the Sailor in
ten rounds. He fought Harvey Thorpe,
who defeated Green here some months
ago, in two LO-decisiOn fights and then
won from him. He's met Bud Logan.
Kay Long. Jack Perry, Mike Paulson,
Billy Britton and a lot of other real
scrappers.
When he faces Green he will be
tackling a game fellow who can slug
with the best of them. Green has been
training hard for the last month and
declares he never was in better shape.
He means to make himself fayOrite in
his home town.
Jack Tolar and Jack Willis, high
welterweights, who put on such great
six-round affair some weeks ago. arc
working hard for their eight-rounder
as Tuesdays semi-windup.
Matty Dechter of the Goth Infantry
is clever, probably cleverer than his
opponent for Tuesday in siS-round
bout, Kid Burns, but Burns is tough
as a rhinoceros and can punch an ordi-
nary fighter into submission.
Jimmy O'Dare. rival for clever lit
tie left-handed Kid Gilbert, is a new
conner here but has had lots of expcr-
fence in the ring in the bCntamweight
class and Promoter Shelton thinks he
will give Gilbert a real test.
Shelton is now trying to arrange a
bout between johnny Mccoy and tough
Mike Vasquez, the featherweight who
trimmed Brooke Stephens last week.
Mccoy. anxious TO regain favor with
local fans. came to town ard challenged
any bantam or featherweight who can
be secured. Shelton thought NasqueZ
would make Jawn extend himself and
there is n chance this bout will go
through for February 6 or thereabouts.

NEW MICHIGAN HONOR
Tteritz First Wolverine Quarterback
Camp Ever Picked.

Ann Arbor, Mich. Jan. 27.-When
Walter Camp named Irwin Uteritz OF
Michigan as quarterback on his third
All-America eleven for 1922, he ac-
corded the Ann ArbOr school an honor
which it had never before received. For
Uteritz is the first Michigan signal
caller to be elected for any Of Camps
mythical teams.
Not that Michigan hasn't had some
good ouarterbacks, Or it has. but until
last fall the dean of football critics
didn't see fit to recognize them in an
All-America way.
Take. for instance. Boss Weeks,
1902 captain. and still considered by
Yost as the best pilot he has had during
the 90 seasons he has been coaching AZ
Michigan; Fred Norcross, 1905 leader /;
Shorty" Mcmillan, star in 10lO-ll
Tommy Hughitt. who played the entire
Harvard game in 1914 with a fractured
collar bone: and Cliff Sparks. sterling
quarter in 1916-1T-19. All of these men
were good field generals. and there were
others. too. but the palm goes 10 little
Uteritz, who in his two campaigns at
Michigan has developed into n twinklcr
OF the first degree.
For some reason or other. though.
Camp has never been very much i'm
pressed BY Quarterbacks developed in
the West. In fact. very few have been
able TO get a nlace "in the sun In 50
far as any Of his All-America teams
were concerned
