when o team goes into q game In that
frame Of mind 1t Is mighty hard
team to beat.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY feels that
l It must play inspired foot ball
10 beat Detroit, and unless all
signs fail that is Just the kind Of foot
ball it will play. The Brooklanders
have been giving themselves to a
game that would indicate no good
for any opponent. Were 1t not that
Detroit gave Holy Gross q whaling.
1oy e. oSss sss ese Last as
probably would be installed a ia
vorite for tomorrow afternoons tilt.
No team ever tried harder to leave
no stone unturned in its efforts to
get ready to be at its best, and no
other team ever was in frame Of
mind to give so much Of It's mental
and physical energies TO win. AL week,
practically all the last two weeks.
the Brooklanders have worked with
the Detroit game uppermost In their
minds, and tomorrow sees the cul-
u1ination Of their efforts.
mo one can foretell what Is going to
happen In Q game such as we are to
play with Detroit" said Coach Berg
man Of Catholic University this
side chance to win. We do not have
an even chance and 1t would be foolish
for me to say so. II we play an inspired
game, anything may happen, as our
men are going into the game with q
do or die spirit which means that, cost
what 1t may, we shall carry the fight to
Detroit. 1t should be O great game, In
which we ought to have q chance"
n TARYLAND meets Duke University
lVI tomorrow with nine sophomores
in its lineup. Just what those
Sophomores will do, no one can indicate
Suffice to say that, on the face of things,
on basis Of comparisons Of other
games and maturity Of opposing players
Duke ought to be a fairly easy victor
But on the other hand those Sopho-
mores have at times this year played
exceptionally good foot ball.
What Maryland may accomplish
against Duke should depend pretty
much on the same things that lie
behind Catholic University's possibilities
OF success. If 1t goes into the game and
plays inspired foot ball, it may give
Duke q great battle. II 1t Just plays
foot ball, then different story will be
told.
According to Maryland scouts who
have watched Duke, that team is the
most mechanically perfect gridiron COM
bination in the South, in fact, one of
the most perfect in the whole country.
Which. after all. Is not a surprising
opinion. because Wallace Wade, one OF
the half dozen best coaches in foot ball,
Is noted for developing that type of
team. When one of Wade's teams walk
on the field, it seems to be just an
ordinary team. and II plays for awhile
as II 1t were, but then suddenly some
thing happens, and the opposing team
wonders what has happened to it.
Incidentally, Wade is not only a great
foot ball coach, but Is one OF the highest
type men In the game today.
HARVARD will have to watch to its
II laurels or Army will chalk up an
other major victory tomorrow.
The Crimson so far has not seemed
strong enough to top the fast-stepping
soldiers, and it is doubtful If 1t will.
Any team that could whip Yale so
decisively, certainly would seem to
stand an excellent chance Of beating
Harvard.

 'Tf ever he comes nosin' around here, I'll tell him a thing or two!" Mat Tyler could hear Cab'n Dan'fs usually mild voice booming out his threat.
 He had been foolish to quarrel with Cap'n Dan'l. He knew that. now his temper had cooled. Cap'n Dan'l had been right in calling him an ''old fool'', but it was hard to admit being olL and foolish. He was touchy over lis toupe. Only Cap'n Dan'l knew Mats hair was not all his own, and he never missed an opportunity to twit him on his vanity. Since Mat had taken to calling on the Widow Parsons, Cap'n Dan'l had taken particular

If only he could give some logical reason for going off to Bos- ton so hurriedly. But he could never bring the Widow Parsons name into the mess, and If he told of rushing off to buy a new toupe, would they believe him? Mat winced. Bos'un,, sensing his dejec- ton, crept down from his perch to offer, monkey fashion, his sym pathy.

 Mat hadn't argued. After all, Cap'n Danl was entitled to ;. his opinions. The trouble had come when Mat announced his intention of marrying her. Cap'n Dan'l had stormed and stamped; accused Mat of losing his senses, and of being in his second childhood. Behind Cap'n Dan'ls buster was the dread of being left alone, and Mat knew it. Forgave Cap'n Dan'l his words. Though he might live in a different house, they would still be close friends, he pointed out, but Cap'n Danl had not been willing to be comforted. s
 Mat had not told Widow Parsons of Cap'n Dan'Ys actions. He had been sure it was only a temporary disturbance. When Widow Par sons agreed to marry him within

. CHRISTMAS CONFUSION

Just two weeks before Christmas and all
 through the house Everybody's busy yes even the mouse; Folks are preparing busy routine To celebrate somehow though purses are lean. Toys are bought and hidden in the attic And all of the children are so emphatic About not wanting this, not wanting that, Mother would like to give each one bat. Yes, it's glorious time full of cheer And luckily comes just once year.

FEW WORDS FROM
 OUR POSTMASTER
Advises People to Get Christmas Mail on
 the Way Early

With the Christmas season ap- preaching rapidly, Postmaster James T. Kelley to-day urged all those sending letters or packages to distant points of the country to get them in the mails a week or more before the holiday weekend. With Christmas coming on Mon- day, the local post office will close for business Saturday night, the 23d.
 No regular deliveries are to be made Christmas eve or Christmas day, and only a skeleton force will be maintained at the local post office to sort incoming and outgo- ing mail.
 Letters and packages going to foreign countries should be mailed within the next day or two to be- certain of delivery on or before Christmas. The last sailing of ships which reach Europe in time for the holidays will take place the middle of next week and mail going abroad must be sent soon enough to reach these vessels be- fore their departure.
 The post office is all prepared to handle the annual Christmas rush of holiday mailing. Business has been growing more and more brisk and is expected to reach the rush height next week and the week after.
