Frank Pilrain has been elected
as chef of the Stag club; he made
his initial appearance as such at

ing. His able assistants had
something to do with it also.
Chas. Anderson of Sec. A, re-
turned Monday from Rochester,
where he went to consult the
Mayos in regard to case of can
Ger in the neck. No operation
was performed there as they de-
cided that external treatment at
this time was the only relief to

to Duluth to take treatment on
account of that being nearer
home.
A potato meeting was conduct
ed by County Agent Hammargren
at the Community hall Monday.
The attendance was rather small
but quite a number signed up.
1t is regrettable, however, that
so few of the local farmers take
so little interest in any of the
cooperative movements on foot.
A good many seem to think that
since Magnus Johnson was elect
ed to the Senate he is going to
bring prosperity to the farmers
and all they have to do is to sit
down and wait for it. However
it takes more than talk to bring
it about.

of the bigger colleges, but who find

them after they have remained
short time at a smaller college. Many
men used to get into the big colleges

I was talking to the coach of

PALACE WILL PLAY
CELTIC QUINT HERE

The palace Club, washinston's
leading professional basket ball out
hit. now touring in the North, will
open an extensive Winter season at
the Arcade Auditorium. Fourteenth
street and Park road northwest,
Sunday, December %. The Original
Celtics will be played on that socca-
sion.
Joseph Saunders, director of the
Arcade enterprises, in announcing
that contract had been closed with
the. Palace Club for Sunday games,
asserts he had perfected a device
which will remove wax from the
spacious dance floor thus meeting
the stipulations of the home team
that the playing surface be made
safe and fast, in order that leading
quints of the country could be in
duced to come here.
The location of the Palace Club at
the Arcade is expected to centraiixe
professional basket ball activities in
the Park road section. in view Of the
fact that Central Coliseum no longer
Is available for the sport. Palace
expects to stage Sunday engage
ments here with the Chicago Bears,
the Fort Wayne K. of c., the Roches-
ter Centrals. the Buffalo Lincolns, the
Tigers, in addition to the Celtics.
Teams from nearby Baltimore, Has-
erstown. Williamsport, Pa, and Key
ser, w. Va, also viii be entertained.
1t Is planned to stage preliminary
games between Washingtons crack

possible, claimants for the various

institution has sizeable alumni
body in the National Capital, men
who usually have had to go far from
home to see teams of their alma
mater in action. Lehigh, In recent
seasons, has been represented by Il
most capable eleven and this year had
one of the powerful teams in tn
East. 1t will carry most Of the 1929
squad into next season.
Georgetown probably will be better
prepared for this strenuous schedulg
next Fall than 1t now seems. 1t will
have at hand practically all Of the
forwards that made such a sterling
Inc this year and much Of the 1924
backf1eld material. This lot will be
augmented by a number OF players
unavailable during the past season
because of the one-year residence

Little evidently figures his charges
will be ready for a deal of heavy
going next November. for he has pre-
pared most strenuous program for
that month. Not one "breather'
game is listed for the month. The
first Saturday will find LehiEh here
for the first time in years. A week
later Centre College of Kentucky will
be the visitor. On November 81
GEORGETOWN will go to the Polo
Grounds in New York for a tilt with
Fordnam, then hustle back here to
face the Marines on Thanksgiving
day.
However, the month OF October
does not promise to be any bed of
roses for the Blue and Gray athletes.
Mount st. Mary's will be due here
October 3. and what that little COL
lege lacks in size it offsets in spirit,
and even a. such an early date
usually is prepared to give much
, hu"kter opponent busy afternoon.
Engagements for the next two Satur-
Gays are pending. but Bucknell is def
nite!y scheduled here for October "a.
a contest to be played in Washington
Is being arranged for October 81, and
Little likely will have for that day
an opponent calculated to give
Georgetown an opportunity to catch
its breath.
Centre Big Attraction.
Although the schedule is spotted
with attractive dates, that with
Centre undoubtedly tops the lot. Ever
since the Praying Colonies stepped
out of the sticks of Danville. Ky, in
1919 and surprised the foot ball world
by overcoming Indiana they have
been one Of the most-talked-of grid
Iron aggregations of the country.
Centre rose to dizzy heights when
II finally vanquished Harvard on Sol
diers' Field at Cambridge, then slip
ped trife after most of the stars
of the team that first won it fame
graduated. But with new team this
year, Centre came back with a rush
and virtually established itself a. the
foot ball leader of the South.
Coach Little saw the Centre team
In action this year and realizes just
what Georgetown Will be up against.
From information he gained, the
Praying Colonies will be even better
next Fall. But that did not deter
him from getting them on George
towns schedule. He was out to get
the best possible to put before the
Georgetown students and the Wash
ingtoR public, and added Centres
name to the already formidable list Of
foot ball foes.
A ten-strike in the schedule is the
assignment of the annual Marine
game to Thanksgiving Day. Wash
ington long has lacked a big" game
on the holiday, a day famed in the
South for gridiron classics. The
Georgetown Marine engagement ought
to fill the bill admira bly, in 1925, and,
according to the Hilltop authorities,
1t probably will be played on Thanks
giving Day thereafter.
The Lehigh game ought to prove
attractive here. The Pennsylvania
