 Field Day
 Today was field day" on board the big flagship of the Pacific fleet a day the bluejackets like to see be- hind them. Last night they set up the chant of the sailors work rule: "For six days do all that thou art able,
 And on the seventh. holy stone the deck and coil cable"
 Since time immemorial. Holy stoning" the deck has been the ban of sailors existence. With heavy brick of pumice composition on the end of stick. 11o men scrub the lockwood decks of the Maryland for three hours. The crew members estimated that 30 inches of deck planking require one hundred move- ments of the arms.
 There was amused speculation among the sailors whether Hoover, being. an efficiency engineer. would favor the use oe machines over the historical method. On transatlantic liners, they said. two men use a ma chine and clean the decks In day.
 Discourage Idea
 The officers disparaged the idea Of discounting this old method.
 "nsvev Jones always did it that way" they say explaining that the use of the holy stone" is good for discipline and constitutes healthy outdoor work for the men. The change seemed improbable unless Hoover should institute it.
 The weather continues clear aud calm. as the Maryland heads down the Mexican seaboard, lowing slightly to the long Pacific ground svells
 Officials were studying \ plan to make possible advance distribution Of Hoovers' speeches. but no an- nouncement was made as to the method decided upon.

BoiIermakerS Meet Iowa
After Two Weeks Drill;
Probable Lineup.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Jan. IT.
Iowa, a stumbling block to Purdue'S
basketball teams of the past sew
eral years, will be Purdue'S next
Big Ten opponent next Saturday
night at Iowa City. The game will
end a two weeks gap in the Boiler
maker schedule, during which time
Coach Ward Lambert has been en-
gagged in nightly workouts with the
squad. Purdue has played only one
Big Ten game, defeating Illinois.
SNeSpite the fact the Hawkeyes
have suffered two Big Ten defeats
since the start of the season, they
are regarded as highly formidable
opposition here. Wheeler and Har-
meson, forward; Murphy, center,
and Schnaiter and Kemmer, guards,
probably will form the lineup which
Lambert will open against the
Hawks. Iowa has defeated Mime
sofa and lost to Northwestern and
Illinois.
Returning from the Iowa trip
Purdue will have only a day Of rest
before encountering one of its
strongest opponents, Indiana, in

HooSiers are showing up as strong
contenders in the Big Ten race.
Announcement has been made by
Director of Athletics Kellogg that
all reserved seats for all of Pur-
dues home games this season have
been disposed of as season tickets,
and that nothing but general ad-
mission tickets are available. Moth
ing can be done about the matter

MYTH Rogers Hornsby gone, the

Cohen and 33-year-old Chinese,
Lai, to try at second base. Lai
won't make good. The hopes of
the club are placed in young Cohen,
not only that he might ill the berth
acceptably but that he might de-
velop into star. The McGrawmen
for years have been trying to land
a Jewish phenom for gate pur-
poses.
Cohen had a great season in the
International League last year and
is regarded highly as prospect by
baseball men.
Since Babe Ruth crashed into the
big print the Giants always have
been trailing the Yankees in getting
publicity and even Hornsby failed
to inject any drawing power into the
club at home.
Even with Ruth and Gehrig the
Yankees have not been asleep and
they have been scouting for Jewish
boys to entertain couple of mil
lion in New York.
