TENNIS PLAYERS
TO CALM DOWN
Referees To Demand Less Rough
Stuff On Courts

LONDON, Dec. 21.-Tenni players
who participate in British tournaments
will either have to stop eating raw
meat before the next season starts
or get into some game that tends less
to arouse the primordial passions.
Following a conference between the
Referees association and the Lawn
Tennis association, it has been an
nounccd that steps would be taken be-
fore next summer to insure either the
absence or the early Punishment from
British tournaments Of those players
overwhelmed to indulge in tactics that
they may think due to red blood but
most other pl attribute to bad man
ners.
There have been many complaints
against. the players, men and lew
women, to throw down their rackets
or bawl out their partners or the re-
ferees or have similar tantrums when
their temperaments get the best OF
them. Women players have often spoken
of the bad craftsmanship of the more
petulant men who have partnered them.
Some players defend outhurstS OF
temper or temperament on the ground
that if red bloodcd men and women are
to be attracted to tennis, little lat
titude must be given for the outburSt
of manly, and womanly passions. Suzan-
ne Lenglen, who ought to he able to
speak for the women, is one of them.
But the referees, who get most of
the rough stuff, were insistent at the
conference, afraid that the present hard
words might develop sometime into
hard pop bottles, and they won. 0
Rules will be framed so that play
ers who, in the excitement of the game,
forget that they are little ladies and
gentlemen, may he penalizrd or sent
to whatever in tennis corresponds to

Notre Dame should defeat Leland
Stanford when they meet at Pasadena,
Cal, on New Years Day. While the
Notre Dame defense may not be better
than the Leland Stanford defense, still
fine Notre Dame offense has bit more
than the attack of any football eleven
displayed in 1924.
Notre Dame has perfect coordination
and rhythm individually and collectively.
Notre Dame also possesses highly devel-
oped mechanical ability. Combine these
qualities and then try to break them
The Rockne attacks should be reve-
4 Ia ton to the far west. The -Four Horse
men of the Notre Dame backfield pre-
sent what is probably the greatest combi-
nation of all time. They have every
thing.
Rockne uses three major thrusts on
offense. He has an end run that is next
+ to impossible to stop because he gets
power into the drive by shifting his end,
and backs Just before the ball is snap
ned. The end gets outside the tackle

reference block the opposing end and

After establishing this play Notre
Dame uncorks cut.back. The runner
cuts back inside of tackle after the
tackle has been drawn out by bluffing

Having thoroughly established these

he likes.

George Bryan Beau Brummel and.
at other times, when he loses his temper
and lashes into wild fury, he resembles
the Bill Sykes of Charles Dickens

Jekyl and Hyde constructions:
There is no middle ground with Cobb,
no in-between, no temperance and no

A recruit, who had just met Cobb,

The passing years have IN a measure
tempered Cobb, mellowed him. He has
become more and more of a philosopher
but the temperamental fires still flare
although not as frequently as of yore.
In his long career his disposition has
always been of truculent nature. He
never was able to stand reverses with
good grace. He often expressed selfish
nature and too frequently. lacked sym
pathy.
Cobb has always been a student. His
mind is one of the keenest in his ma

understand any subject. He has an in
curing mind, a thirst for knowledge OF
all kinds.

Greatest Play
/ Ever Saw
BY ART FLETCHER
Manager, Philadelphia National League
CIuh

Club
Red Jack Murray, the old Giants
outfielder and one of the most dashing
fielders and reckless base runners the
game ever saw, made the most spec
tacular if not the greatest play that
it has been my good fortune to wit
ness.
The Giants, years ago, were playing
the st. Louis Cardinals. We led. as 1
recall, 2-to-1, in the ninth inning, with
two out and a Cardinal on third base.
Owen Wilson, called the Chief was
at bat.
1t had been growing dark for several
innings;;- and it was SO mirky that 1t
was almost Impossible to see as Pitcher
Ames faced Wilson. There was Il
thunderstorm brewing, and it was a
cinch that unless Ames retired Wilson
the game would have to be called on
account of darkness.
Ames pitched, and the Chief smacked
a terrific liner to right field. AS soon
as the ball left the bat / missed it,
though | turned and tried to follow its
flight.
Murray seemed to have an unerring
instinct in following a ball. He raced
toward the right field foul line, and just
at that moment there was flaming
streak of lightning and terrific crash
of thunder. In that brief instant of
light | saw Murray leap into the air
and catch the ball, and then the semi
darkness blotted out the field.
1t would have been fine catch under
any condition. Made just as that bril-
liant squirt of fire slashed the sky, it
was a spectacular a play as was made
on any diamond.

Stanford at Pasadena. Cal, on New
Years Day. Pasadena is a few miles
from the seat of the University OF
Southern California and at that !nstitu-
ton they have developed a hatred for
Leland Stanford that will match any
thing in the hate line in the history of
college athletics. California and Leland
Stanford severed athletic relations with
University of Southern California on
the day of the latter's game with Cali
fornia. A great deal of undertaking
followed. California played her game
with Southern California, but Leland
Stanford did not. Now Southern Cali
fornia and all its supporters are hoping
fervent!y that Notre Dame will beat
Stanford and they will give Rockne's
eleven all the support they possibly can.
Notre Dame will play before what may
be called "home" crowd.
One football writer on the far coast
saws that if Notre Dame wins its New
Years Day game the gridiron ranking
for 1924 elevens will be:
/. Notre Dame.
2. California.
3 Yale.
4. Dartmouth.
5. Stanford.
6. Pennsylvania.
Z. Chicago.
8. Illinois.
9. Alabama.
10. Army.
There are few, if any, that will agree
with this rating. But then, you are
as priviligeded as anyone to rate the
teams any way that suits you and that
is one way If spending these long winter
evenings.

reliable year-round supply of milk is

well as the poor people keep family
goats as dependable sources OF a

When these different families go to
the seashore or mountains for their
annual vacations they always take
their milch goats along for utilitarian
purposes.
In the Italian cities the goat dairy
man drives his herd of goats from

goats the amount of tactical fluid

house to house and drawing the milk
