TALK BY RADIO IS
 GIVEN BY COOLIDGE
President EulogiZes "7he Father
 Of His Country"

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Presiden
 Coonuge, in a radio address delivered
 last nt5nt from the White House
 combined with tribute 10 Washing. ! ton an appeal 10 the American people
 10 accept the responsibilities and con l tinue the sacrifices necessary to make | enduring the institutions which Wash. 1 ington founded.
 1 Mir. Coolidge described the part
 played by Washington in the founding ot the American govern
 ment and declared he accomplished the results by accepting great re-
 responsibilities and making great sac rifices."
 If We are to maintain the in- stitutions which he founded, if we
 arc to improve what he created, we must be like-minded with him, We
 must continue to accept responsi-
 bllities, We must continue to make sacrifices" the president said. tn
 der all the laws ol God and man there is no other way"
 The address was delivered by the
 president in his study in the White IiOuot anu huo b9 O. the International Rotary clubs, members of which recently asked that the president deliver an ad- dress yesterday in anniversary of the founding of Rotarianism.
 Each year the birthday of George Washington gains wider ac- ceptance as being of more national significance" Mir. Coolidge said. Tn far ott lands people are observing this day by taking thought of The qualities that gave Washington this foremost place among the truly great. They are drawn to this man by his calm and clear judgment, by his abounding courage, and by his unselfish devotion. Beyond that which has ever accorded to any other mortal, he holds rank as q soldier, q statesman and patriot. Others may have cNcelled him in some Of these qualities, but no one ever oN- cclled him in this three fold great ness. Yet Washington, the man, seems 10 stand above them all. We can best estimate him by not identifying him with some high place, but by thinking him aS one Of our SNlNGs. W nen Ill utldlltu ueSGFlptlOn tails, it is enough to say he was a great man. He had supreme en- dowmont Of character.
 We have not yet reached the goal Of Washington's ideal. They are not yet fully understood. He was practical man. He suffered no delusion. He knew that there was no power to establish q system un- der which existence could be support ] cd without effort. Those who now expect anything in that direction are certain to be disappointed. IIe held out no promise of unearned rewards, either in small or large amounts. On the other hand, if no one sought to receive gain except for service render l ed, no one ought to be required 10 render service except for reasonable l Equality and justice | both require that there should be no and on exploitation. Cn- Ger the constitution of the United States there is neither any peasantry lor any order of nobility. Politically. economically and socially, service and character arc to reign, and service md character alone"

American League pennant race by
winning both games of a double
header flom Chicago by scores of
: to ) and l. to 10, respectively.
while Detroit was beaten by Phila-
delphia.
Faber pitched a good game in the
opener. but his mates played bad
baseball behind him, being unable
to hit in the pinches. Wards homer
with two men on base gave the
champions three runs, and later
Schang's four Dagger with a man on
base made victory more certain de-
spite the fact that an error paved
the way for a run previous.
The second encounter was practi-
cally settled in the first inning when
the Yankees hit the offerings Of Leo
Mangum, the former Minneapolis
star. to all corners Of the lot, and
drove him to the showers after bat
tlng around. Babe Ruth came up
with Mike Cvengros on the hill, and
cracked out his 31st homer OF the
season. Two men were on base at
the time and that ended the scoring
for while, 10 runs being across
the plate. A walk, a single and q
double steal counted another and

CALUMET RAPS OUT
Win over CUSHN0C
BY SCORE OF 9 TO 4

The local Calumet Club landed on
Whitten's offerings hard and often
at Williams field last evening and
the papermakers were forced to take
the short end OF a nine to four
count. Cushnoc started things off
with a bang but was unable to hit
Cote in the pinches.
Cote, the Calumet pitching ace,
kept the Cuhnoc bingles well scat
tered and his teammates hit the ball
consistently. Giroux. with three
bingles, and Cote with the same
number, led the batting attack,
closely pressed by Cyr and Beaudoin
with two clean hits each.
The pitching was classy on both
sides for while Written was nicked
in a timely manner. his teammates
accorded him miserable support in
the pinches, dropping balls which
ordinarily would have been handled
with ease. Both hurlers besprinkled
the path with strikeouts, with Whit

Ten-Year Contract
For NOtre Dame
Coach ROckne

Chicago, July % CA. P. by MaiD-
When Knute h. Rockne entered the
University Of Notre Dame Is years
ago as poor working student. doing
all kinds of odd jobs to pay for his
tuition and board, he little dreamed
that he would step into a position
that was to pay him 100000 in ten
years as coach of that famous eleven.
Rockne is to do just that. when his
new contract becomes effective in
1925.
Rockne by signing a contract to
remain at Notre Dame for the next
ten years at an annual salary re-
ported to be $4,000 a year, becomes
one of the highest paid teachers of
football in America. or the terms OF
his salary, Rockne himself has
nothing to say, but those close to
him declare he was offered $4,000
a year last fall to become head
football coach at the University
of Iowa, succeeding Howard Jones.
and that Notre Dame would not part
with him.
From handy" boy. determined to
obtain an education, Rockne's career
is a vivid story of 4 plucky fight
against odds. The man who today
IS acknowledged as one of the fore
most coaches in the country did not
even know the principles OF football
when he entered Notre Dame in 1909.
But under the direction of Jesse
Harper. the Notre Dame coach, he
began to learn quickly. He did
what he was told. He practiced and
trained hard and within three years
was elected captain Of the team. that
was hailed throughout the country
as one of the greatest opponents Of
the forward pass ever developed.
When Rockne enrolled at Notre
Dame he was without funds and no
work was too mental for him to earn
a few dollars. Gradually he became
so proficient in chemistry that during
his last year in school he acted as an
assistant professor. 1t was in this
same year that his name became
famous in football, when Notre Dame
met the Army for the first time and
triumphed, IS to IS. 1t was Rockne,
on the receiving end OF forward pas
ses hurled by Gus Dorias, that swept
the cadets off their feet.
After graduation. Coach Harper
asked to retain Rockne as a football
assistant The dean of the chemis-
try department made a similar re-
quest. Rockne was wanted in two
places. The officials arranged his
work so he could work both jobs.
A year later Harper retired to his
western ranch and Rockne stepped
into his shoes, holding the position
az director of athletics, head football
coach and track coach ever since.
Notre Danes rise to athletic power
under Rockne's direction has been
swift. The football elevens always
are contenders for national honors.
Rockne, an national figure in Ameri-
can athletics. is Of the new school,
in football. His system has brought
about many innovations. such as the
shift plays. These are designed to
conceal the point OF attack and to
add force to the thrust. Weight Is
invariably sacrificed for speed and
close up interference has made Notre
Dame teams famous.
Rockne refers to Notre Dame as
my school, and declares he never
will leave, as long as they wish to
retain him.
