In answering DR.. Pritchetts re-
port asking for information about
Notre Danes advancement of in
tellectual pursuits, Father OHara
cited the fact that twenty priests
are studying for advanced degrees
in six universities, and that dur
ing the past decade priest-teachers
have studied at famous universities
throughout Europe and in the
United States. Father O'Hara also
pointed out that only 20 per cent of
the 100000 increase in the ma
terial plant at Notre Dame during
the past twelve years is devoted to
athletics.
Father O'Hara also mentioned the
fact that Notre Danes spiritual
work has won international respect,
and has been embodied in annual
reports for fourteen years.

Widespread publicity on the coach

Clevenger said that when news of

They came from high school

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Just how
much Mr.. Jones meant to the game
called golf will be demonstrated late
next month down in Georgia when
he goes to the wars again in the
Augusta national tournament.
When Mr.. Jones steps up to the
first tee and lays into one with
that big, black driver of his, it will
be his first competitive stroke since
that dramatic afternoon at the
Merton Cricket Club when he rolled
a putt across the green to give him
the amateur championship and
complete his grand slam that prob
ably will survive through the ages.
That was upward Of four years
ago, that afternoon at Merton, but
none of the $4,000 who saw it have
forgotten. When Mr.. Jones teed off
against Gene Romans in the final
round three of the worlds great
golfng trophies were his. He had
blazed through the British open at
Sandwich, the British amateur at
Holyoke and the American open at
Interlachen. Victory against Ho-
mans and he would have turned the
feat thought beyond the skill of any
mortal.
Standing on the 29th tee, a two
shooter with an island green tucked
away in the woods, Jones was dor
ME eight. Playing down fair
way that was lined with spectators
twelve and fifteen rows deep, both
men were on in two.
After a quick glance at the cup,
and in a silence so deep one could
hear the wind rustling through the
chestnut and willow trees, Mr.. Jones
brought Calamity Jane back and
the ball slithered across the green
to stop within a whisper of the
hole. Romans stabbed straight for
the cup in an effort TO keep the
match alive, but the ball rolled
past-and hell broke loose.
With a shout that shook the
earth, the $4,000 worshippers of the
game and the man who had mas
tered it, swarmed down upon him.
So great was the crush, as the
thousands fought to be near their
hero, that the little stream which
meandered about the green was
choked with men, women and chill
dren, and Mr.. Jones lost half his
shirt and all his good humor before
being rescued by squadron of
marines.
That was the last of the great golf
mobs. The customers quit with Mr..
Jones. Our big tournaments since
Mr.. Jones settled down to his law
work, have drawn only a handful
as compared to the army which
traipsed DER hill and vale and dale
in Mr. Jones wake. But as we said

ing. Robot Robert will bang EN-

NEW YORK. Feb. 2O.-That
rollicking revolt in Flatbush is ex-
pected to come to a head this week
and result in the removal of Max
Carey as manager of the Brooklyn
Dodgers.
Charles D. Casey Stengel, jovial
coach. who considers himself a mas

eggs for breakfast. stands out as the
bailiwick's choice to succeed Carey.
A roaring demand for Stengel has
swept across the Gowanus canal
from the fats of Carnarsie to the
docks of Red Hook Hearkening
back to the uproariouS days when
rotund Wilbert Robinson directed
the Dodgers drolleries. Brooklyn
fans demand the return OF slap

his GOwanuS CHANDELIERS to make
them laugh, if they can't have

The Brooklyn club has f1oundered
into a qUandary. To prevent civil
war within the squad. the directors
apparently must dispose of Man
ager Carey because they are unable
to trade of the players. such as Joe
Strip. with whom Carey has been
in constant disagreement.
Accordingly the Brooklyn direc-
tors will hold a meeting just as
soon as general manager Bob
Quinn RECEIVERS sufficiently from an
attack of influenza. Old Bob is eX-
pected TO emerge from his boudoir
tomorrow or Thursday. when the
managerial situation will be settled.

adrift
