This is the statue of Father
Knickerbocker that caused all the
trouble. Placed above the Hotel
Astor as a welcome TO Demo
cratic convention visitors in New
York it showed the traditional
figure holding a huge stein of
beer-reai frothy beer, such as
symbolized hospitality in the
Knickerbockers era. But forms
of hospitality change and so
thousands were shouting "skoff-
law as they passed the statue.
Ii was declared a symbol of wet
revolt. Father Knickerboeker
said he would rather lose his good
right arm than his stein. And so
they sawed off his arm, and in

LETTER SS

NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, June 26.--Not
so many days ago leaders in the
movement eliminating July A in
the Cleveland Conference for Pro
gressive Political Action weren't
very sure the gathering in the Ohio
city would be marked by the nomi-
nation of any candidate for the vice
presidency.
It was accepted as a foregone
conclusion that Senator Robert III.
La Toilette would be named for the
presidency-La Toilette or some
other public man Of views similar
TO his own, in the event the Wiscon.
sin lawmaker should decline the
nomination. But that a vice presi-
Dental nomination also was neces-
sary there was no such unanimity
Of opinion.
Now, however, it seems agreed
that a full ticket should be named.
Among other things, it has to be
remembered that, should there be
deadlock in the electoral college
and the House of Representatives,
as is possible, the vice presidential
nominee may finally prove to fig
ure in a presidential struggle, and
the Progressives certainly would
want to be in on it.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler Of
Montana who is mentioned for fest
place in case Senator La Toilette de
elincs it, is also spoken of as suit
able for the vice presidency.
Wheeler is a Democrat of the pro
gressive school. He came especially

prosecutor in the Daugherty investl

ALABAMA OPENS
 AGAINST BAYLOR
Crimsons Pry Off Basket ball Lid Wednesday
 Night

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Dec. 16.- Especial. 1.-The Crimson Tide of Ala bama will open it's basketball season here Wednesday night with the Baylor Bears as their opponents.
 Coach Hank Crisp has been working his cage contingent hard during the past few weeks in an effort to whip them into the best shape possible for the opening clash. The Gnintet should be in good condition to give the Bears hard fight Wednesday night.
 Although no opening lineup has been announced, it is very likely that Stab Ter and Cohen, forwards; McClintock, center; and Propst and Hudson, guards; will enter the fracas as the starting whistle. McClintock may be shifted with either Propst or Stabler, as both of the latter have been worked at center in the practice sessions. Ka- minsky, Mcdonald and Chadwick seem the trio most likely to be called upon by Coach Crisp for reserve duty. Cap tain "Slim" Carter will view the com bat from the sidelines.
 Baylor always brings a good quin- tet on their trip through the South land, and the Crimsons are expecting n hard struggle in their opening clash. However, critics figure that the Tid7 should be returned the victor with room to spare.

National Interscholastic Cage Meet To Come
 April Simpson Has Gone Twice

The Game cocks lost one of the brightest satellites in Buck Streit. great back guard, but have Mike Grabin and Busby McNally two fine shots and floor men, to rely upon. They also have Mccoy, Wool and Burt, from last years team. an! several newcomers. If their defense rounds into shape, they may be among the contenders.
 Woodlawn's prospects are rather Of the unknown variety until the Robin Hoods get into action, as they have only their captain and center, Hitch Burns, back in the fold. He is a good starter, but they will need more to meet competition. It looks like Wood- lawn, too, will be among the top Eotchers.
 Ensley Dark Horse Ensley's outlook is of an even darker hue than the Junior Colonels, as little is known of the material with which Coach White, who gave the Jackets a state championship team in his first year, has to work with. White had q al year, and may surprise the whole lot. Ensley has several veterans of year ago back in the fold, and will likely have plenty of additions. The Jackets did not attach much importance to their cage work last season.
 Bessemer Tigers. with lots of mate rial, will undoubtedly be on the front firing line. They have several veterans back, including the elongated and mas sive ONeill, star gridiron and basket ball center. You can depend on the | Tigers coming strong.
 | Simpson will make great attempt to annex their third straight champion ship. The squad has been working since September and has played four games with Sunday school quints and the E. B. B. clan. They have showed well, and will certainly have q great chance to make their basketball cham pionships triplets.
 Byrd Is Star
 Coach Webb has Curdy Byrd, one of the greatest short distance shots who ever played prep basketball. Byrd was all-southern prep center last year, and should have great season. Albert Vincent is the other veteran on the team, and seems set for good year. Burns, from Snead seminary looks like regular performer, while Mills and Suddith have fit in well at the guard positions. There are also likely look ing bunch of subs who nay oust some regulars.
 Coach Dick Webb has a hard job of rebuilding his team out at Simpson, but there are large number of fans in the Magic City who are behind him in Simpsons attempt to again win. But regardless of the outcome, the announcement coming from Chicago that the prep tournament will be held in early April will undoubtedly set the hearts of many high school cagers throbbing with the thoughts of pos sible journey to the shores of Lake Michigan, to the second largest city Tn the world, to the greatest indoor basket ball gym in the world, Bartlett gymna- sium, and to the greatest gathering@cf prep school athletes who ever performed in single events of athletic endeavor.

.HORSEMEN WILL
 RIDE INTO WEST
Notre Dame And Stan-
 ford Have Same Coach ing Principles
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Whell the -four horsemen of Notre Dame'' ride into the Golden West for post season game with the Stanford Cardinals at Pasadena, Cal, New Years Day, it will be a clash of two schools having similar basic principles of coaching. .Knute Rockne, Notre Dame mentor. is product of the modern school of gridiron teaching, while his veteran op- ponent is Glenn Pop" Warner, one of the pioneers of football coaching.
 Both are aggressive teachers, both are versatile creators of trick players, yet both are disciples of the orthodox off-tackle play. Notre Dame is re- garded as one of the greatest pieces of gridiron architecture ever assembled. It bowled over field of opponents rep resentative of every section of the couh- try except the far west and the game New Years Day provides a means of comparison between the football as played on the Atlantic seaboard and the game as developed on the Pacific coast.
 Notre Dame has defeated such teams gia Tech, Northwestern, Wisconsin,
 
 We'll Balanced
 The Hoosiers are exceptionally we'll balanced. Light, but extremely fast, they are equipped with rare assort- ment of plays, passes and kicks executed by men adept in their respec- tive positions. Rockne has started his second team in practically every game and then shifted to his first string back field, Stuhldreher, Miller, Layden and Crowley. This combination has swept through all opposition and has not been held to less than two touchdowns. On the coast, where condition is big fac tor, this alternate arrangement may prove of marked aid to Rockne.
 Stanford with the greatest football eleven in it's history has come through with only a 20-20 tie with California to mar its season. The Stanford team is strong and we'll rounded, but has lacked throughout the season an abil- ity to solve a passing attack.

throw to Rossman. Hooper was out by full step, and in those days Hooper was by no means a slow base runner.
 The next time at bat Hooper grounded to the infield and when he came to bat third time that day Cobb was again playing close in, at least closer than ordinarily. Once again Hooper smashed through the infield. Cobb again streaked in on the ball, scooped it up and made a snap throw to Rossman. Hooper was once more out by q step.
 Cobb had the same success against other players. He saw his opportuni- ties so he played shorter right field than any other man handling the posi- tion. He depended on his speed in doing this. Breaking quickly as The did and having a great deal of speed once under way; also, being a fairly good judge of fly ball by this time, Cobb decided he could go back and get any kind of chance in right field that was possible to get. By playing close he could always come in on ground-hit balls and have a chance of getting the runner at first. He at least would make a snap throw that prevented the runner from venturing off the bag or taking any kind of lead toward second If the man cut inside of first and started for second, Cobb was sure to have him caught off base. He caught quite a number that way.

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-The national interschOlaStic basketball tournament conducted under the auspices of the University of Chicago, will be held April i, ?, 8 and 4, it was announced tonight. There will be two complete
 tournaments, one for the national championship and consolation for the losers in the first round. For two years 40 champions from 30
 states have competed in the tOurna- ment.
 The announcement of the national in terscholastic at the University ot Chi- cago again this year will be of consld- erable interest to large number of prep basketball cagers of the Magic City. There are at least quintet ot local basketball teams containing a number of prep cage stars who have set their eyes longingly toward Chicago this year, and very likely the dreams of one set of prep performers will be real ized.
 It is very probable that the cham pions of Alabama, and for two years this has been Birmingham team. will again journey to the rim of Lake Mich igan to compete with the strongest of America for the basketball crown.
 Simpson has annexed the state crown for two years in succession, and both times the Purple Tornado has braved the winds which sweep off the shores of Lake Michigan. These jaunts ot the Junior Panther cagers have marked a new epoch ill prep competition Tn Ala bama, for until 1923, no high school team had ever journeyed farther than the confines of an adjoining state in quest of athletic honors.
 And now, with the 1925 cage season staring prep cagers in the face, the Simpson Tornado is looking forward to making it three straight state titles and third journey to Chicago.
 Have Keen Competition
 But Simpson will have keener com petition than ever this year. The Char lie Vincents and Yancey Senns and Martin Fergusons have gone, wbile there are at least quartet of local teams which will stage terrific strig- gle to stop the winning streak of state championships which have been Sinp- sons own, besides the large number of teams over the state which Will bear watching.
 Sidney Lanier, always a strong com petitor for state honors, Barton acad- eu1N, SpTlUS I1lll, HItcufIllS, hhC tSa i' which won the South Alabama grid iron championship, and others unher- aided, will make a great fight when the state tournament rolls around.
 The local contingent which will make a determined effort to land the homo IS of entering the national interscholastic, the great dream of the prep cage star, will include Phillips, Woodlawn, Ems ley, University and Bessemer, besides the Simpson Tornado.
 Phillips Is Strong
 Phillips has the best prospects of several seasons, with four veterans back in harness and q galaxy of new mate rial from which to mould champion ship quintet Phillips looks like the Magic City entry which has about the best chance for local honors, at least. Anderson, Sanford and Jaffe form as good a trio of basketeers as will be found on most any prep outfit, and they are doped to go far. Phillips is the local squad which is getting in much

 PLAY WEDNESDAY
Stockham, Redbirds And Freshmen FavOrites
 To Win

The second series of games of the City league will be played Wednesday night at the '. NJ. C. A., beginning at ' 80 o'clock. Three good exhibitions. per usual, will be dished out to basket league, which opened its season week ago with trio of excellent combats.
 Wednesday nights games viii give the league fans a further lin" on the strength of the competing teams, who showed in the first games of the year that the lYlay woull be of a high calibrc this season.
 The schedule cales for a meeting of Acipco and Stockham '. -,i. C. A. Redbirds and Arcola, and Howard Freshman vs. Liftcrs Club of Ensley. On the whole, this seems to bring three of the strongest of the loop agliE:,! three of the weaker quintets, judging by their play in the first series of games. Stockham, the Redbirds and Howard Freshmen should came out rather easy winners, according to dope, Wednesday night.
 Stockham won from the Howard Freshmen in the first set, although both teams showed they were among the two of the greatest strength in the league. The big test, now, comes a week hence when Stockham tackles the Redbirds.

Coach Roper Not Likely To Accept
 Big $2O,OOO Offer
PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 16-Bnl

nHILADELPHIA, Dec. 16.-Bill
 Roper, coach of the Princeton
 football team, and in his busi- ness hours a prosperous Philadelphia lawyer insurance broker, is not very likely to accept the $20,000 offer to coach the football team of Washing ton university at St. Louis. Mo. The St. Louis school would also want Roper to teach law.
 Roper's friends call attention to the fact that Princeton undoubtedly would be willing to meet the St. Louis offer and they say Roper if he were attracted by the proposition at all, would surely give Princeton chance to meet the raise.
 However. Rover is so well established in Philadelphia that he would have great deal to lose and nothing to gain by going to new territory. His pop ularity in Philadelphia gives him bright chance to succeed in politics in few years.
