STUHLDREHER IS GIVEN OFFERS @ AAA " 4 1A4VA)
ROckne And Quarterback Leave After Visit To
 New York

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Coach Knutc football eleven, left today for home with his star quarterback, Harry Stuhldre, her, after q two-day business visit here during which time it is undestood Stuhldreher was approached by repre- sentatives of two eastern schools with offers of coaching positions next season,
 Stuhldreher said he had not signed to coach any team and was not likely to do so, although he intimated he would eventually accept one of the sev- eral offers he has already received.
 Stuhldreher has been generally credited as being the brains of Notre Dame eleven for the last three years and is said to enjoy an unusual confi- dence of his chief Among Notre Dame followers, he has long been considered a "Rockne on the field," and the most valuable man on the Hoosier squad.
 His home is Massilon, Ohio.
 Coach Rockne said his squad would leave South Bend December 20 for Pasadena for the game New Years Day with the undefeated Stanford eleven He plans to keep his men in condition by workouts along the route of the Southern Pacific.
 Angus Mcdonald. comptroller of the Southern Pacific Railroad and Notre Dame alumnus, who was instrumental in arranging the Stanford contest with the Tournament of Roses committee, said at a dinner given in honor of Rockne and Stuhldreher last night, that an annual Notre Dame game with Stanford on the Pacific coast during the holiday season might grow in the same manner as has the Army Notre Dame intersectional classic on the east ern seaboard.
 Army and Penn State will be Notre Dame's two eastern opponents next year, Coach Rockne said, adding that the remainder of his schedule was in a formative stage.
 We expect to lose two or three games next season because of the loss of the entire first eleven, seven men from the second and five from the third" Rockne said. But that will do the team and the student body good"
 "A few losses lest the soul," he re- flected, ''except when you lose too often then you lose your job."

 Western Football

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Dec. 1.-Two hundred and sixty-seven thOdsand per sons saw Notre Dame's championship football eleven in action during the sea son which it closed Saturday against Carnegie Tech at Pittsburgh, according to records compiled here.
 The attendance figures for games in which Notre Dame participated are be- lieved to set a new record for mid western football. Michigan, during the past season, played before 262, ,000 &C., cording to figures announced at Ann Arbor. The total was a new high mark for conference football.
 Unofficial attendance figures for nine Notre Dame contests follow:
 Lombard. 5000; Wabash, 10000 i; Army, 55,OOO; Princeton, 10000: Geor- gia Tech, 22,0O0; Wisconsin, 5000 i; Nebraska, 24,000'; Northwestern, 4O,- 900; Carnegie Tech, 33,000.. a:e

 Not for behind these clubs were the Dodgers and Yankees in the great pen nant races of the summer months. In fact, it was the fine playing of these two clubs which made the greatest races in baseballs modern history. Wilbert Robinson, with his galaxy of mound stars, including the great Dazzy Vance who was voted the most valuable play CT in the National League, will lead his cohorts against the mighty Yankees, with Babe Ruth as the center of the stage on this powerful club, on the afternoons of March 13 and 31.

GATORS READY
 FOR GENERALS
Floridians To Attempt To Climax Season With
 Victory

GAINESVILLE, Fla, Dec. D. Especial. )-The fighting Gator grid ders of the University of Florida will attempt to bring to most brilliant close one of the most successful foot ball seasons enjoyed by Gator eleven in the history of the institution when the Orange clad eleven faces the Wash ington and Lee Generals next Saturday in Jacksonville.
 Monday afternoon the Gators, under the tutelage of Athletic Director White, who spent the past week end in looking over the Washington and Lee Virginia grid scrap, went over the probable plays the Generals will use in attempt to hand defeat to the Floridians. An hour or more was spent by Coach Van Fleets charges in figuring on the blackboard the ways to stop all opponent advances.
 Following the blackboard talk, Cap tian Ark" Newton led his band of grid warriors to Fleming field where they spent the remainder of the afternoon in jogging around the track.
 Since the brilliant 10 to o victory over Drake on Thanksgiving, the fight ing Gators have been taking a much needed rest. Friday or Saturday Coach Van Fleet issued decree allowing his grid players a two-day holiday. How ever, this week there has been some real practice in preparation for the final attack this week.
 As indications now point, Saturday will be the first time in the past few weeks that the Gators will present a lineup void of injured men. The Flor idians taking advantage of the rests are rapidly assuming first class physical condition and it is very likely that the regular first string eleven which began the present season will face the Gen erals on Saturday.
 As to who will win Saturdays con- test, it is practically an impossible task to pick the winner. The only way to compare the teams is by way of Wake Forest, who beat Washington and Lee and then lost to the fighting Gators to the tune of 34 to 0. However, as the Mercer-Florida game pointed out, dope is an uncertain quantity and can not be depended on. Florida will de- pend upon her fighting spirit which was exhibited in full force against the Drake Bulldog.

 Every high school in Jefferson county has accepted the invitat. to be pres- ent and are enthusiastic over the idea of having an annual football jubilee. Typical of the replies which Chairman Chas. Comstock has received is the fol- lowing:
 "We gladly accept the kind invitation of the Alabama Alumni association to be present at the monster banquet and football jubilee given at the Country club on Wednesday at 6 80 o'clock. I feel that this is wonderful idea of the Birmingham alumni and will go a long way toward securing clean athletics and manly sports, especially in the high schools of Jefferson county. In view of the phenomenal record made by Ala bama this year and the keen interest shown in all accredited high schools of Jefferson county in the one real sport in this country, feel that you could have done nothing more helpful than the entertainment of these young Ala bamians. Thanking you for the invi- tatiOn and assuring you that we will be there in full force with the expected

The race for the republican nomi-
nation for Governor Is causing much
conversation and interest in Piscata-
quis county. The untimely death OF
the late Mayor Day of Bangor has
changed the aspect Of things entirely
in some sections. When the fight
was three cornered one, many Of
the leading republicans were support
ing Mayor Day. as they have talked
of q Governor in the east for some
time. With Harrington and Brews-
ter in the field the leading republic
cans are nearly al supporting Far
rington. and while Brewster has a
few supporters in the shire town, his
strength Is not great. In other sec
tions Of the county IT is different
however, and 1t Is claimed by those
who are travelling through the county
every week that Brewster has a big
margin over the Augusta man in the
town of Greenville, Brownville and
Milo. Many who are in accord with
Brewster on political issues say that
they will not support him In the pri-
maries as they claim IT Is not q fair
proposition to give Portland two gov
errors In succession.
