ears and made his tail stiff and
showed his teeth, but not at the
rabbit gentleman. The cold dog
groWled toward the bungalow.
"Yes, some one is in trouble" !"
agreed Uncle Wiggily And it
sounded like Baby Bunty."
who is Baby Bunty?" asked
Carpet.
"She is a little orphan rabbit
who lives with me-" Mr.. Longears
answered. "She had no place to
go after she became an orphan SO
let her stay in my bungalow. She
is very cute and so is Little. BuS. y
"Who is Little Bub?" asked Car
pet.
HE is the rainbow boy, real
boy, not a rabbit" explained the
bunny gentleman. HE comes on
adventures with me and Baby Bun
ty and all my rabbit children love
Little Bub. So will you when you
see him."
I'm sure I shallP agreed Car
pet. But just now don't you think
we had better find out who is call
ing for help and why?"
That's a very good idea," said
Mr. Longears. Come. Well go
to the bungalow. But if it should
be any of the Bad Chaps"
"Ha! Leave them to me" sud-
denly growled Carpet. You have
been a good friend to me, Uncle
Wiggily, and L would like nothing
better than to chase a couple of
Bad Chaps for you. Come on!'
Boldly Uncle Wiggily and Carpet
went toward the bungalow. 1t was
dark night now. And the voice
kept on calling:
Help! Help Help!"
"Ha! see him! 1t is a Bad
Chap! It's the Bob Cat with his
silly little tail and he's in your
kitchen teasing Nurse Jane SO she
can't get supper!" barked Carpet.
III fix him"
With that Uncle Wiggily's new
friend, Carpet, the rug dog, dashed
into the kitchen, nipped the Bob
Cat on his silly little tail and sent
the Bad Chap out on the run
bowling hard.
"Oh, thank you so much!" said
Nurse Jane when Uncle Wiggily
had introduced her to Carpet. Il
left the door open and the Bob Cat
came in. But he went out more
quickly than he came in!" and the
muskrat lady laughed and went
on getting supper and Carpet, the
rug dog, was invited to stay.
So everything came out all right
and if the sauer kraut will roll up

ter sausage I'll tell you next of

To BALTIMORE

Running wild in the second
quarter, and running even more
wilder in the fourth period, the
Baltimore University gridmen
routed Gal1audet yesterday in a
4S-to-O game at Hotchkiss Field.
The visitors displayed a couple
of fast backfield men in Mills and
Alperstein. the former especially
because he scored three touch
downs. Hoffmeister, Bender, and
Kingan accounted for the other
markers, the latter intercepting q
pass and running IS yards.
Even though Gallaudet was able
to keep Baltimore from scoring in
the first and third periods, the
Hughes-coached eleven was out
played throughout. The visitors
were just stronger, faster and
heavier, that's all.
Gallaudet had only one chance
to score, and that was in the first
period. Hoffmeister tried to kick
for Baltimore on the 15-yard line,
but Gallaudet blocked. Stack re-
covered for the SilentS, but Balti-
more held, and the threat ended
after Gallaudet's four tries at the
line.
A small gathering witnessed the
fray.

Can Be Reappointed

/. This new post provides a sal
@ry, which, with the retirement
allowance, will be equivalent to
Mr.. Stages present salary. He
has accepted for a year, al
though he has reserved the
right to resign should he wish
to accept coaching job. The
year limitation was Mr.. Stages,
but should he desire to con-
tinue in the position, he is
certain of reappointment.
- In view Of the interest in the
matter, a brief statement as to
the possibility Of Mr.. Stages
being retained as football coach
IS thought to be advisable now.
Recommendation Of a foot
ball coach rests with Mr.. Met
calf, the new director, who will
have full authority in the de-
partment. as Mr.. Stagg has had
for Al years.
There is precedent in the uni
versity for appointment of pro-
fessors emeritus. Mr.. Stages

A Faculty Member

These following facts are
claimed by the university to
obtain in the Stagg case:
= That Mr.. Stagg was the first
athletic director in the world
to acquire faculty status, re-
ceiving such an appointment
{ in 1892. Since that time he
4 has had the prestige, the privi-
1eges, and the security Of such
status. Unlike most football
coaches, his tenure has not de-
pended on winning teams; he
was safe. from the emotional
outburSts Of alumni should his
season be unsuccessful.
Citation Of the value Of the
faculty status to Mr.. Stagg is
not meant by the university
TO infer that he has not been
always a fine coach, but mercy
to call attention to the fact
that he had that status.
a A statute of the University
of Chicago makes automatic
the retirement of all faculty

McCracken. Titans' halfback.
grabbed a punt on his own 81
yard line shortly after the second
quarter got under way and dashed
through the whole Georgetown
team for a touchdown and then
kicked the extra point.
The second tally came late in
the fourth quarter when Mott
crashed through guard, sidestep-
ped several tacklers and ran 81
yards for a touchdown. He failed
to convert the extra point.
Outside of these two instances
the battle was waged between the
two opponents 20-yard strips. The
Hoyas intercepted five of the
Titan's eight passes, and COM
pleted four of their own, but
were only able to, aggregate 27
yards on them. Detroit totaled
233 yards to Georgetown's 1873.

edge over his mates, for the

Seven Are Retired

Mr.. Stagg is not the only
faculty member who has been
!. automatically retired. For ex-
ample, within the last year,
two trustees and five faculty
members have retired under
the statute, and at the same
time that Mr.. Stages retire
!, ment was announced, DR..
Shailer Mathews, dean Of the
Divinity School, and as emf
si1ent in his field as Mr.. Stagg,
was retired.
The conversations between
Mr.. Stagg and President Hutch
tns relative to the formers
retirement were opened last
January, and the proposal
which Mr.. Stagg accepted was
made to him April 4, states the
memorandum.
Because Of his faculty status,
Mr.. Stagg is entitled to a retir-
ing allowance of $4,000, which
he receives whether he accepts
2 position elsewhere, or is in
active.
Furthermore, the university
has created new position for
Mr.. Stagg as chairman of the
committee on intercollegiate
athletics, in which position he
will be the univerSity's repre-
sentative on intercollegiate
bodies dealing with athletics.
