DISCUSS FORMATION

I. ". Grove Proposes Society," James Grove Questions Move

A mems Catholic club in this city, an object of agitation for many years, may become a reality within a short time if a committee of the Y. M. T. A. & B. society now work ing in the project receives favorable reports of the Catholic clergy in this city
 The matter was brought to the at tention of the society at a meeting held yesterday. The Tabs" treas urer and purchasing agent, Thomas W. Grove, proposed to have the club locate in the Tabs" building as separate from the Y. NJ. T. A. &s B. society. This would give Cath ollie men an opportunity to make use of the society rooms without following the obligations set down for members of the Y. M. T. A. G; E society.
 One of the members of the Tabs Captain James Grove, has announc- ed himself as opposed to the new organization if he finds placing it in existence would mean the end of thl Tabs" The Y. M. T. A. X B. so- cicty is nearly 50 years old and Captain Grove is one of it's oldest members. To make certain that the plan will be studied from eveTy angle, Thomas Grove and Captain Grove have been appointed corr. mittce to interview Rev. Matthew !

Washington. Nov. 17 LP-To the pile of plans advanced for prohibit ton changes today was added q sug- gestion that the Nolstcad act be re- pealed, leaving enforcement of the 18th amendment 10 the states.
 This was proposed by Representa- tive Beck, republican, Pennsylvania. who once was solicitor general of the United States. He said that, while repeal of the 18th amendment itself was the ultimate objective, any at

i tempt to secure it now would meet such a defeat as to postpone "any practical relief for another genera tion."
 Yet, he asserted, offering the re- cent election results as evidence, any political party which attempted 10 sidestep prohibition ae an issue would be doomed 10 defeat. May Strengthen System
 Although it has been learned the presidents law enforcement con- mission does not intend recommend ing repeal of the 18th amendment, or q national referendum on the question, speculation on the con- tents Of its prohibition report, soon to be made, has not dwelt seriously on the possibility of a plan such as that advanced by the Pennsylvania epresentative. In fact, a belief has been spreading here that the prin- Cipal recommendation Of the group ~aill deal with changes to strengthen the existing system.
 Another development of the pro- hibition front yesterday was a de- mand by Representative Tinkham, republican. Massachusetts, that At torney General Mitchell place before q federal grand jury Tinkham's charges against Bishop James Can non, Jr, of violating the corrupt practices act.

For a change, this little story is about a small college star, one of the youths who might have his name frequently in the big head lines and lot of chatter about his All-America qualifications if he happened to be playing on team such as Yale or Notre Dame or Southern California.
 His name is Kermit Lange, which sounds good enough to remember, anyway. He is the backfield star of Baker College, Baldwin, Kansas. In his first six games he scored a total of 115 points, which is a flock of points in any league.
 Of course Baker College doesn't figure much in the headlines out side of Kansas and Lange's name will not be widely mentioned, but the town of Baldwin is satisfied the All-America pickers have over looked very good thing.
 And why not? Against one oppon- ent he did all the bunting on a 55-yard average, scored six touch downs, kicked three goals and hit the line for another extra point after touchdown. The following Saturday he led his team to an other overwhelming victory by per sonally advancing the ball 285 yards and scoring five touchdowns. If there's one man to be picked out as the keystone of Yale's great line defense this year it is Freddy Loeser, the chunky center-rush whc has all the traditional tenacity ot l the Eli bulldog.
 Loeser was so banged up in ar auto accident that it was conclud- ed last year that his gridiron days were over. In fact some outcry was raised as to Yale's disregard of the youths future by even permitting him to play this rough game any l longer.
 But the doctors found Freddy firmly mended and the coache! couldn't keep him off the team. Tc the Eli defense he furnishes the same vital spark that Able Bootf contributes to the attack. Togeth' CT they form a great combination
 When Albie made the run tc Dartmouths goal line that wa. nullified by a penalty, Loeser threw

his arms around the Atom and appeared to implant kiss upon the Boothian brow.
 Perhaps Freddy felt that Albie was entitled to some reward, even though Yale was deprived of any points.
 Minnesota, by taking on North western, Michigan, and Wisconsin, has no bed of roses for the windup of the Gophers' Big Ten schedule this year, the first under Fritz Crisler's guidance. One of the req sons for some optimism up around Minneapolis, however, is 133-pound Kenny MacDougall, sophomore quarterback from Ishpeming, Mich igan.
 Kenny has the Albie Booth type of elusiveness, Jay Vessels reports, and gave a sensational exhibition of it in dashing 5l yards through Northwestern for touchdown.
 Crisler thought he had at least welterweight in MacDougal, who was posted at first as sealing l49 but he was shocked to discover the youth was actually a lightweight, an under sized atom.
