1865 days a
year
Whether there are
any roads or not''

Ira Wilson s. Sons, Detroit, who
use 16 Heavy Duty Pierce-Arrow
Trucks, hauling milk from a 12o-
mile radius, write as follows:
"Our business demands that our
trucks be on tho road every day,
365 days in the year, and they have
to haul milk whether there are any
roads or not. We have tried all
makes oftrucks, and Pierce-Arrows
climb hills on high gear where other
trucks have to shift into low gear, do
1t every day, and at much less cost.
"Our first Pierce-Arrow, which
was delivered to us on October IS,
1920, has just been overhauled for
the first time November, 1929
after having run over $4,000 miles.
We expected to spend a lot of
money for new parts. But we spent
less than $500 for lew parts and
this was for bushings in the chassis.
The rear axle and transmission were
perfect, and we could find no place
to put any new part In the motor"

Grated successfully in 174 industries
and trades. Let us show you how

Shelby Fistic Show
Hardly Throws
Healthy Echo

There probably never will be
another fight which will attract
the widespread attention Of the
Dempsey Carpenter affair. Its
international aspect had a pc
culiar appeal to the sporting
natures Of men and women. 1t
attained a social Importance
that no fight will ever attain
again.
The beating Of drums and the
blare of trumpets before the
famous setto in Jersey City were
improvements on the methods
of the late Mr.. Barnum. The
ballyhooing of the Shelby fisfic
soiree simply echoes across the
lonesome prairie.

France Has Modified
Bull Fight That
Pleases All

A new kind of bullfight is
being tried in Southern France.
The objection to the Spanish
bullfght is so strong that the
new sport has been adopted
with none of the lurid features
of the ancient pastime. g
A rose is pinned between
the horns Of the bull, and the
toreador must pluck the flower
from the horns.
The animal at least has an
even chance at this game, be-
cause his opponent does not
use a sword. 1t is also q
quaint way to pick flowers.

Sarazen does not think that when

He goes on to say that the putting

Football will be inaugurated this
September. Baseball will follow in
the spring. Both are new sports
at the college, although they are
carried on in the high school.
However, the 1923 gridiron season
will be short. Only two or three
practice games will be arranged
with the smaller colleges. A -regu-
lar schedule will go into effect in
1924. Then the gymnasium. which
will be built by the alumni will
be nearly finished. Stands may also
be erected around the new athletic
field at Evergreen by that time.
The coaching system has not yet
been settled. It will be announced
in the course Of the next few
faculty at Loyola are also made
known.
Father Ayd has been athletic
director at the college for the
past two years. But he has been
pressed with many other duties
and has recommended having q
graduate manager who would de-
vote his full time to the task.
III this plan goes into effect, sep.
arate coaches will be used in the
different sports. Should Father
Ayd remain as director, one man
may be secured TO handle football,
baseball and basketball.
Basketball has always been the
big sport at the Catholic institution.
The team was strong last year. It
will be better this winter, as all the
regulars from the past campaign
are back, and Shorty Helfrich. cap
tain Of the high school team of last
season, will be in the freshman
class this fail. So will several
others from the high school.
The quint teams of the Green and
Gray for the next few years promise
TO be equal to any that have ever
represented the college. Nearly
every man on the squad at present
has at least two more years OF col
lege basketball.
Father Ayd announced this morn.
ing that the schedule next winter
would be stronger than last year.
Another important event in the
Catholic sports world IL the return
of Mt. St. Mary's for a series of
games. None was played last win
ter by the two State colleges.
The baseball schedule in the
spring will be extensive. All the
local college teams viii be met, as
well as the best teams OF the South.
Track and tennis will both receive
more recognition in 1924.

him closely If you get a good

chewing gum stuck on the button

does it against the Yanks, because
Eddie always gets a hit as soon as
he takes the gum off and puts 1t in

on him and as soon as he reaches
