STUDENTS WANT

Would End 27-Year Breach
Caused by Grid, Diamond
Controversies.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

"A yEW YORK, March IA
M campaign, fostered and engi-
" neered by students, for a re-
4 sumption Of athletic relations
between Notre Dame and Michigan
now is in progress.
Out of this movement facts not gen.
orally known have been adduced ex-
planning another fact, also not gener-
ally known, that the Irish" and the
Wolverine parted competitive company
81 years ago because of incidents
which initiated an angry frame Of
mind in both parties.
Strange indeed, in view of the arlia-
bility and excellent understanding
which have marked Notre Danes re-
lationships with all intercollegiate as
sociates for so many years past, to
read the findings in the Michigan
Notre Dame embodiment which have
been elected from the time-stained
records at Ann Arbor.
Real Irish" Beating.
FIRST, it appears that in the Fall of
1909 the Irish" came to Ann
Arbor and did a lleinous thing. They
beat the Maize and Blue In foot ball,
1913. At the time Michigan was liv-
ing in the flush of recent point-a-
minute teams, and still regarded Itself,
not without warrant, as the outStand-
ing exponent of midland foot ball. So
who was Notre Dame to come along
and stand the Wolverine on its head?
Why. the Irish" stood, or were sup
posed to stand, with Case and Kalma-
ZOO and Albion, Michigan Aggies, and
so forth. So, as always is the case
when little fellow downs gridiron
Goliath, the victory was nothing less
than an affront.
incidentally, the Irish" were really
Irish in those days. Looking over that
1909 squad, we find Bill Schmit as the
sole exception to roster otherwise
completely Milesian, what with Dolan,
Dwyer, Kelly, Lynch, Maloney. Ryan,
Philbrook, Dinick. Vaughan and lot
Of other fine old patronymics.
Squawk in Base Ball.
A NYWAY. Notre Dame beat Michi-
gan in 1909, and If you think
Fielding Yost gave three cheers you
have nisread his attitude toward
hy-by-night teams which turn up at
Ann Arbor and win unexpected VIC
tories. In other words, the only
cheers heard that late lamented aft.
ernoon were those of Notre Dame.
Then, in June, 1910, came a base
ball game in which the South Bend
ers developed the idea, whether just
ly or unjustly, that Michigan was
playing with 10 men, 9 regulars
and the umpire. Their protest was so
emphatic as to draw spirited reproach
from the Ann Arbor student press.
Finally, in November of that year
November 6, to be exact-there was
to be another foot ball game between
the two. But several days before the
contest Michigan protested two Of
the Irish" players, Dimick and Phil
brook, asserting that inasmuch as they
we're allegedly enjoying their eighth
season of intercollegiate competition.
they should more fifty be in the home
for the aged than in the lineup of a

THESE fancy figures, Menke con-

Is strictly guesswork, admitting the
sensational growth of this successor
to the old indoor base ball." the fig
ures otherwise are reasonably gauged.
Take basket ball, indisputably the top
sport in countrywide drawing power,
indoors or out. There are estimated
to be $4,000 teams, including boys
and girls, shools and colleges. clubs
and associations. Playing an average
of two games week for 20 weeks,
with an average of 70 paid adnis-
sions per game. develops the round
figure total of 80 millions.
Except for organized professional
or semi-pro leagues, the base ball
season is comparatively short. For
schools and colleges it lasts barely two
months. The spectator total includes
nearly 10 millions in cash major
league attendance. Organized minor
leagues draw around 100000 cash
customers, the colleges 100000.

AID TO TELEv|S|0N
DEVELOPED HERE
Bureau of Standards EngI-
neer Perfects New
Sound Receiver.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

major step toward eventual tele-
vision reception in the home Is seen
by Bureau of Standards experts In the
construction by Francis w. Dunmore,
Bureau radio engineer. of radio re-
ceiver for ultra high frequencies EN-
bodying some distinctly new principles.
Dunmore came into national prom
inence a few years ago as coinventor
of the alternating current receiving set
which was a major step In radio de-
velopment and which was the occasion
for a spirited controversy over the
right of the Government to inventions
made by its employees in lines closely
associated with their actual jobs.
The new set devised by Dunmore Is
especially adapted to reception OF
waves of from three quarters to one
and-three- quarters Of a meter IN
length. This is approximately the
range which must be used by tele-
vision If it ever becomes commercially
feasible. A major difficulty foreseen
for the future has been that of COM
bining it with sound broadcast re-
ceiver and synchronizing sound ana
vision.
Dunmore's device may show the way
to do this. While 1t will not ltseil
receive sound broadcasts over long
wave ranges it can be attached to the
ordinary loud speaker, and reproduce
the sound impulses.
Compared either to broadcast re-
ceiving set or to a short wave receiver,
Dunmores new set is radical inno-
vation. The coil and condenser are
dispensed with altogether. The re-
ception is controlled by plunger In
stead of a dial, the purpose OF which
is to control at will the length OF the
tubes. 1t involves other complex
principles of radio engineering, de-
scribed by Dunmore in the current
issue Of the Bureau Of Standards
Journal of Research.
In its present form, Dunmore said,
the new receiving set cannot be con-
sidered a television receiver. 1t Is
purely a sound receiver, and Is valu-
able chiefly for experimental purposes.
1t crosses, however, one of the major
hurdles with which television has had
to contend.
Television, while successful expert
mentally. still is far from practical on
a commercial scale-one major diff
Guilty being that of transmitting a
scene from station to station. This
probably will involve specially con-
structed lines between cities, the ex-
pense of which would be unreasonable
at present.
