which Rockne's football at Notre

Doctor Paul Wilmington, who sue

to stick at the job of football coach

he does not intend to change the
system of coaching. But he has
started drive to get the Notre
Dame atmosphere of a lot of players.
Wilmington plans for next season
to have a 160-pound eleven as we'll

with their separate schedules. And
Doc Cook, the. freshman coach, is
thinking of having two complete

Joe Bashara, the "Assyrian As
sassin" from Norfolk, who battles
Charley Baum in next Mondays
twelve-round feature contest at
Fort Myer, hopes to appear in the
same ring against Young StribIing,
the famous Georgia Schoolboy."
"I'll stop Baum and then get
me Stribling," said the Norfolk
boy to Matchmaker frankie Mann,
as he readily agreed to tackle the
Balt4morean. my manager has
tried three times to hook us UP
but each time Stribling has some
reason for not entering the ring
with me-"
Mann believes he can bring
Stribling to Fort Myer. He wants
Basharal to make good first. That
! is why he has matched him with
Baum. If the Norfolk middle
weight stops Baum he may be sent
against Jack Turner. A rsal vic
tory over Turner will entitle him
to a meeting with Stribling.
II have word from Stribling, -
, says Mann, agreeing to come here
, provided l can find a suitable op-
ponent, one making it worth while
for him to make the long Journey
from his home in Macon. If Bash
ara can upset Baum and Turner,
there won't be much argument
about his worth as an opponent
for Stribling."
Bashara is only nineteen years

movement is not contemplated for
contamination merely sometime in
this generation but at once,
through Christmas offerings of the
hunters and nature lovers of today.
THE plan is most commendable
as a memo rial to the early frontiers
men. not as a statue of bronze or
marble, but as a game preserve
to form an extension of the Federal
winter elk refuge in Wyoming. In
this place the remnants Of the for
ner vast elk herds will enjoy ex-
tensive feeding grounds without
the necessity Of frequent emergency
appropriations for their benefit
from Federal and State funds for
the purchase of hay to see them
through unusually rigorous winters.
''This preserve will be one i'm
which an abundance Of hay will
be stored for emergencies and
broad areas Of natural pastures
Will become q safe winter home
+ for thousands OF elk.
THE Izaak Walton League plans
to purchase the needed lands
promptly and to make them avail
able to the Federal Government as
an addition to the winter elk refuge
near jackson, Wyo.
The advantages of the plan are
far-reaching, and under wise adj
ministration of the refuge and It's
herds there will be opportunity. for
big-game hunting in this region, as
the surplus animals from the herds
win become legitimate game OF
sportsmen, and at the same time
the herds will be assured Of per-
petuation for the delight of future
generations.
1.-The contributions amounting to
$4,000 sought by the Waltonian
elk fund committee, will make "a
Christmas present indeed to the
American elk, and conservationists,
sportsmen, end other nature lovers
who help to make the plan an ac-
tuality will be serving not only the
elk now threatened with starvation,
but in a patriotic way will make
a notable contribution to future
Americans by insuring the perpetual
ton of these most magnificent OF
all deer"
