PASADENA, Dec 29-With Glenn
Warmers powerful Leland Stanford
football team established at the
Vista Del Arroyo Hotel and its first
workout in preparation for the New
Years day game against Notrc
Dame scheduled for this afternoon
Pasadena today was in the full
swing of its annual Rose tourna
ment festivities.
\ steady migration of Stanford
supporters is expected to continue
until the actual moment for the
Rose Bowl game. The first contin-
gent of Irish rooters will arrive
Wednesday, at about the same time
that Knutc Roekne's machine hops
Oft the train from Tucson, Ariz.,
where the team has been working out
since Saturday.
Enthusiasm for Thursdays grid
bat se is surprising interest shown
in any previous eastwcst game here.
The fame of the Notre Dame squad,
and It's record as the leading team
of the country east of the Pacific
range, is combined with the record
OF Stanford and its claim to the
Pacific coast championship, to make
the contest one of the most repre-
sentative ever attempted here.
SO brisk WAS the demand for seats
that the entire capacity of the bowl
-, ,000-was sold out weeks be-
fore the game.
Indications arc that almost the
entire Stanford student body will
be on hand by Thursday, and three
special trains are bearing supporters
of the Irish here from Chicago.
With reports from Tucson stating
that Rockne is worried because his
men have been losing weight ON
their long overland iaunt, Stanford
stock began soaring noticeably.
Those who are betting on Stanford
to win base their judgment on
Warmers astutemess as q coach, on
the good condition of the Red squad
and on the power and drive which
theteam has shown in coast games.
Regardless of which way the bet
ting goes, the unanimous opinion is
that neither team will have an easy
afternoon b pastiming.

45-POUND MUSKY is
SAND LAKE PRIZE


Geo. E. Nye and G.. FL. Holmes of
Chicago, members Of the Eagle River
Shooting Club on Big Sand Lake had
an exciting encounter with man
sized muskie while out fishing in
front of the club house Monday.
Shortly after leaving the dock, Mr..
Nya felt a large fish grab hold of the
No. IL spoon attached to line that
had been in use for seven years the
rod to which it was attached being a
light split bamboo, and both he and
his partner had grave doubts if the
light tackle would hold long enough
for them to get the fish to shore. With
expert handling of the rod and reel
and the boat as we'll they spent three
quarters of an hour in plain view of q
large number of the guests at the
clubhouse and finally succeeded in
mastering the fish safely. When weigh
ed it tipped the scales at As pounds,
and measured So inches in length, and
both gentlemen were unanimously de
clared the champion anglers of the
club, and by the lady members es-

Ground Broken for New
Congregational Church
FITTING CEREMONY HELD TUES
DAY AT SITE OF NEW HOUSE
OF WORSHIP

Ground was broken for the new
Congregational church Tuesday even
ing. A goodly number of the mem
bers of the church gathered near
where the entrance is to- be, and held
a brief service. One of the. great
hymns of the church, 81 love Thy
Kingdom, Lord" was sung. Then the
eighty-fourth psalm was read resno'ir
sively. Prayer was offered by Rev. w.
J. Davies. After a brief statement OF
the significance of the bcca'rinB Of the
ground, the spade was turned over to
the older officers of the church, N. A.
Garris m, G. MNash. N. l.. Kinney
who, in the order name broke the sod
Mr.. Davies then took the spade. Ele
was followed by Mrs. Bomber, Presi
rdent of the Earnest Workers. Then
the rest of the people, including the
boys and girls took the spade and
turned over the sod.
It was a significant moment for
many. The long years of hope for
new church had come to head. To
others it was the beginning of closer
interest in the undertaking. To all it
was the first real step in securing the
beautiful church that is to grace the
corner.

ON THE ToBoGGAN

After winning eight straight games
Camp Winnepe threw the monkey
wrench into the machinery of the
Eagle River baseball team couple of
weeks ago when it took the first game
the locals had lost this season. A week
ago the Rhinelander Independents
came over and took another, and last
Sunday Winnepe did it again by a
score Of something like IL to 4. That
makes three in a row Eagle has drop
ped Why the slump is hard to tell.
Everyone of the last three games
should have been Eagle Rivers, but
Lady Luck and all the rest of the un-
known factors in baseball seemed to
be against them. However, they look
for change when they meet Camp
Winnepe on the latter's grounds for
the third time this coming Sunday.
It's going to be a better game than
the last.

WALTER SCHROEDER BELIEVES
EAGLE RIVER PROFITABLE
FIELD FOR NEW HOTEL

| If present plans materialize, as it
is to be hoped they will, EagIeRiver
will see a new hotel project under
way as soon as ground can be broken
next spring. This week, the Review
| was pleased to receive assurances
from Mr. Walter Schroeder, whom we
referred to short time ago in con-
nection with a new hotel, that he
now had several sites in view suit
able for it's location, and that as soon
as he reached a conclusion about
them regarding desirability as COM
pared with the prices wanted by the
owners, that he would have plans
drawn for the type of building con-
templated and would submit them to
the people of Eagle River for appro-
val and the hope that arrangements
satisfactory to all parties could be
reached so that he could start it's con-
struction early in the spring.
His record as the builder and own
er of some of the largest hotels in
the state, is good assurance that if
he engages in such a project here, it
will be credit to both the town and
himself, and that it will be sufficient
to handle the transient hotel trade
nicely for some years to come.
To advocate new hotel of this
type for Eagle River, is not done with
any intention of injuring others who
are now in the hotel business. Steam
heated rooms, with hot and cold
water in every room and with baths
for those who wished, in reality
means competing with the hotels of
Wausau and Rhinelander, Elcho and
Amigo for Eagle Rivers just proper,
ton of the hotel business which they
have been enjoying and will continue
to until there is a hotel here that
offers those conveniences to it's pat
rons Now, every day in the year,
travelling men spend money for rail
way fare or auto hire to escape stay
ing here over night and often it
means doubling back over the road
the next day when going north. If
there are any who would lose any
revenue from a modern hotel in oper-
alton in Eagle River, it would be
those who now rent rooms in their
private homes, and as far as we know
there are none of them who depend
upon that for livelihood entirely and
anyway, Eagle River is now at
stage of growth and development,
where the interests of the town as
whole, rather than the Individual,
must be first considered.
There is absolutely no question but
what Eagle River can have new
hotel within the next year by lending
it's cooperation to Mr.. Schroeder
when he has the preliminary details
completed and there is no question
but what it will be a grave mistake
to fail to give that cooperation.

HEALTH CENTER DAY
THURSDAY, AUG. Fl

The regular monthly health center
day of the Villas County Mother and
Baby Health Center will be held at
the Court House Eagle River. Thurs
day August 21st, from a. m. to p. m
DR.. Irmgard Dresel, state board OF
health physician will be in charge, as
sisted by Miss Christman, county
nurse and Miss Mccarthy, health Gen.
ter nurse.
At the health center, children under
six years of age may receive com
plete physical examination, and par
ents will be advised as to the care and
feeding of the children. 1t is urgently
requested that ALI children who start
school this year for the first time be
brought in to the center for the exam
nation.
It should reassure parents to know
that their children are physically well
equipped for the first and to some
children the most difficult year of
school. Ii defects exist the carry us
covery of them should lead to correc-
ton and improved health OF the
child. Many mothers are finding that
the health centers are stimulating the
children to better food habits, many
children drink more milk and eat
more vegetables because they feel
that the center staff is interested and
watching their food habits.
The opportunity for advice and ex-
animation by woman physician is
offered to prospective mothers at the
center. All service is free and is in
tended to help keep mothers and
children we'll 1t is particularly re-
quested that no sick children be
