HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

hn10oldnel0f WnGr6 LdSle COppSu
the prize in everything, but the
one to be held at Eagle River this
week. If you haven't decided to
come up and witness the games
you'd better make up your mind
to do SO. We may receive a sur
prise in some of the games just
the same way Wausau, Amigo and
Tomahawk did at Rhinelander,
when they>. expected to beat us
all to smithereens' just because
Eagle River isn't very big town.
The whole school has been busy
preparing for the Tournament,
some of the pupils selling tickets,
distributing bills, etc. Mr.. Kracht
has assigned classroom to each
visiting team to be used as a place
where the coach and the players
can discuss their plans. Seven
boys have been appointed to act
as sponsors to the teams, being
responsible for their entertain
ment during their stay here.
There's going to be some mighty
good games, and as we have new
seats in the gym, there will have
to be a crowd to fill them up.
You'll enjoy yourself if you come
and as these are the last games
to be played in Eagle this year
it's your last chance to see the
1924 team play
Vacation next week! The boys
are going down to Madison to the
Tournament and the rest of the
school is going to take its spring
vacation. The business men may
have to finance that trip to Europe
yet, that is if the boys win the
State Tournament.
The Literary Program for the
next meeting has not been posted,
but will be printed with the notes
for next week. We enjoyed the
Irish program held Monday very
much and wish ST. Patrick's day
came oftener.

|R0CKNE WANTS
 TO KEEP PASS
Says Aerial Game Has Pushed Football To
 Front Rank

HOUSTON, Texas, Dec. 25-Knute Rockne, mentor of tho Notre Dame university football team, today an- nounced his disapproval of proposed changes of gridiron rules. Although in favor of some minor changes, he spoke in no uncertain terms when tho abolish ing of the forward pass was brought up.
 The coach made it plain he was against any rule that would cut down the open game and that he believed when a rule of this kind was passed it would be the first step toward killing gridiron tests.
 "If they will glance back through the pages they will find that in 1908 the forward pass saved the game, and now they are trying to put 1t out" he said. Until the overhead game was brought into play, everybody was hollering about the game being too brutal, and it was.
 "Then the forward pass como. It cut down the flying wedge and all the man killing" style of play. It brought football back and pushed 1t to front rank in the sporting world and now they are talking about robbing the game ot the style or play tnat mas made football what it is. -
 Harvard is anxious to have the pass abolished. They have been sinking be- fore the other members of their confer ence season after season and now they want to eliminate the style of play that has been beating them. They are mere ly trying to get rid of the thing they don't understand"
 Another rule that the Notre Dame coach opposes is the one to do away with the allotted time for periods and bring in the forty plays. Each period would be made up of forty plays and when these are completed the period would be ended, regardless of the time it takes to execute that number.
 Rockne then cut loose few things about his team. He seemed bit dole ful as to the outcome of the battle on the west coast a week from Thursday.

CAGE GAME TO
 BE SPEEDED UP
lRy Assnciated Press.l l

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-General speeding up of play and more keenly contested title race in the intercollegiate basket ball league, which opens it's sea- son January 8, are predicted by Joe Deering, coach of the Columbia five, as result of the abolshment of the zoning rule.
 Deering believes the leagues decision to abolish the zoning rule, which in- flicted various penalties for fouls com mitted within certain areas, will elimi- nate constant whistle blowing, speed up the game and make the play more at tractive to the spectators. Deering, whose veteran team is expected to be one of the strongest contenders for the championship now held by Cornell, re- gards Princeton and Dartmouth as espe- cially formidable rivals in the 1925 race. He was reticent in discussing Columbia $ chances, but experts predict the Blue and White quintet will be around the top from start to finish.

The Umpire
BY HI. G. SALSINGER

The University of Michigan had a total attendance of 340 000 during the season of 1924. That is more than any other team drew. Pennsylvania ranked second with 326.000: California third, Harvard fourth and Yale fifth.
 What adds prestige to the Cniver- sity of Michigan record is that not more than 45,000 people can be accommo- dated, sitting and standing, at Ann Ar bor. Also, Michigan lost her first big game of the season, played away from home. This defeat put her out of the championship.
 The best spring touring combination in base ball next year will be the New York Nationals and the Washington Americans. Training through the southland they will in some way repeat the melodrama that they presented on the base ball stages of their two cities last October, at least it will appear to be that the cash customers of the cities of the south. It will be the best base ball feast in years beyond the Mason and Dixon line.

BELL EXPECTED
 TO GO STRONG
Cardinal Recruit Led As sOciatiOn Hitters Last
 Season

When the St. Louis Cardinals next spring trot out that promised team ot all 300 hitters, Lester Rowland Bell IS expected to be prominent among those present, as shortstop. Bell, after his wonderful season with Milwaukee in the American association, Is believed to be ripe to replace any rival for the pO- sition named on the Cardinal team, and that said with full knowledge of the merits of Jimmy Cooney, with whom Bells fate has been so linked by fate.
 Lester Bell last season led the asso- ciation hitters so decisively that it is guaranteed he is no false alarm as a batter ill any sort of company. In deed, there was no great question as to his batting before he went to Milwau- kee in a trade that sent Cooney to the Cardinals. The argument about hlm centered on his ability to regulate hls throws across the diamond, and he has overcome the fault charged, 1t IS sad, by a transfer from third base to short.
 Bell halls from Harrisburg, Pa, which is his place of birth as well as his home town. He was born Decem- Der If, 1901. He had his first protes- sional engagement with Bristol In the Appalachian league i'll 1922, but was voted top green even for that sort or company, and drew hi srelease. A De troit scout saw possibilities in Lester and signed him to contract after ms Bristol release, and then he was sent to Lansing in the Michigan State league under an option of recall.
 But the Detroit management did not have the vision of it's scout and Bell was not recalled. Another scout came to the rescue and Bell was bought by the St. Louis Cardinals. He was sent first to Syracuse, a Cardinal farm, but that club was supplied with intlelders, so Lester was sent to Houston. lie made a fine record there in 1923 and the Cardinals brought him back for trial in the spring of 1924.
 Branch Hickey, with his penchant for experimenting, put ell at third base, but he showed faults ill aiming his throws and was benched, and then, the Cards needing shortstop, and having a chance to trade with Milwaukee for Cooney, Bell was shipped to the Brew CTS. As a shortstop with Milwaukee he was a revelation, having found ms place; he led the association in hitting and in the closing days of the season he was the talk of the circuit.
 Manager Hickey did not neglect 'o recall Bell at the end of the season, as his agreement with Milwaukee permit ted him to do.
 Bell is big fellow as shortstops go but size does seem to handicap him He is five feet eleven inches tall and weighs 163 pounds. He bats right handed and his admirers are heard to say that he has a stance and style much like that of Rogers Hornsby, and he likewise resembles the great Hornsby in build and the way he goes after q ground ball. Now that he has schOoled himself on throwing it after getting it. watch his step.

BERLENBACH TO
 FACE TOUGH FOE
Estridge Will Give New York Battler Hard
 Fight

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-Paul Berlen- bach, New York light heavyweight, faces one of the most difficult assignments of his ring career in Madison Square Gar den tomorrow when he meets Larry Estridge, negro southpaw, in l2-round match. Estridge holds the negro middle weight title, having won it from Panama Joe Cans in the Milk fund bouts at the Yankee stadium, June 26.
 Both the principals in this headliner are sluggers and both carry their most powerful punch in their left hand Estridge in keen boxer, shifty puncher, who can both take and give it, while Berlenbach is a two-fisted buncher and carries a harder blow than his adversary.
 Pal Reed of Boston, another south paw, meets Jack Delaney, Bridgeport, Conn.,, middleweight in the second 12- rounder on the card.
