Have Enjoyable Outing.

During a two weeks vacation
Fire Chief George Wood managed
to visit great deal of the North
west besides attending the Montana
and Washington Firemen's conven-
tons. Leaving Libby, accompanied
by Mike Miller, he drove to Red
Lodge where Montana firemen were
meeting. After that convention they
motored through Yellowstone and
to Salt Lake City. Driving up the
western part of Idaho they arrived
in Spokane in time for the Wash
ington convention. They returned
to Libby Sunday.

ing up that much needed basement
or attic or doing other repair work
that you have been wanting to have
taken care of for d long time but

cially All you have to do is con-
tact Mr. Switzer by phoning 81

K. OF L. CLUB MEETS N. Y. LITHS DEC. 9

With two straight victories to their credit, the K. of L. cagers re- sume activity Saturday night at St. Joseph's hall, against their Lithu- anian Club rivals from Amsterdam, N. Y.
 This rivalry is rapidly developing into one of the keenest on the annual slate of the Knights, with the Amsterdam cagers giving them all kinds of trouble, but still look ing for their first victory. The K. of L. beat the New Workers in the only game they played two years ago and last season the Liths took both games, but they had two real battles.
 The first saw the Knights win on their home floor, but their point total, a scant 27, was the lowest of the season. A week later they invaded Amsterdam and won, 30- 20, in the final 30 seconds of play on Joe Boley's basket. The New Workers have succeeded where other clubs have failed- checking the high scoring game of the locals, who al- ready this season have piled up 102 points in beating the Newark Re- bels and House of David, for a bet- ter than point-a minute average.
 The Liths will be seen at top strength for the first time Satur- day, with Frank Saldukas making a belated debut, having being floor ed by a cold. Naugatuck's Dick Tuckey will also be on hand to combine with Joe Boley. Freddie Ferrie, Joe Swasey, Nick Hudoben- ko, Wally Salemonos, Matty Shee- han and Bob Mariana.
 The Knights appear to have their best club since their organization three years ago. The experience the younger players have gained by playing in fast company and their increasingly improved team play has nodded the club into one of the most formidable in the city's history.

use AND UCLA TO SETTLE BOWL
 BID SATURDAY
West Coast Rivals to PrO- vide Game of the Week.;
 Cornell Wanted
BY HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports EditOr)


 New York, Dec. 4.-(UP)-All the returns on the 1889 football season are in, except from what the politi- clans call a few scattered precincts, and the results show that only three major teams stand undefeated and united.
 There they are-Tennessee, Texas A. and M. and Cornell-three of the most powerful teams in the nation. Cornell and Texas A. and M, have closed out their seasons, but Tennes- see still has tough but cratic Au- burn team in its path.
 Five strong teams come under afl- other classification - ,inbeaten but tied. They are Southern California, Tulane, UCLA, Georgetown and Du- quesne.
 The five are likely to dwindle to four at dusk Saturday when South ern Californai and UCLA tangle at Los Angeles. The chips will really be down for that one, because the win- ner is almost certain to carry the hopes of the west into the Rose Bowl.
 The air already is full of Bowl talk, but so far nobody has been able to do more than guess. Neither USC nor UCLA will state its preference pub- licly on an eastern representative un- til they settle their back yard argu- ment. The best guess is that the east ern representative for the Rose Bowl will be chosen from among Tennes. see, Texas A. and M. and Tulane. The west coast probably would like to have Cornell, but 50 far there have been no signs out of Ithaca, N. Y., that the Big Red will consider any Bowl bid
 The Sugar Bowl game at New or- leans becomes a more impressive sports event each year and the west coast may find some strenuous conn petition from the south when the time comes to line up teams for the New Years Day games. Tulane, lo- cated in New Orleans, would be Q logical host team for the Sugar Bowl game.
 Besides the UCLA-Southern Cali- fornia and Tennessee games the following major contents remain on the 1889 schedule:
 Miami vs. Georgia at Miami, Dec. 8; Southern Methodist vs. Rice at Dallas, Dec. 9.
 Upset of the day-The way Boston College, a 2 to 1 underdog, came roar- ing along to score two touchdowns in the final period and defeat Holy Cross, IA to 0.
 i Player of the day-Grenville Laias- dell of Southern California. With less than two minutes to go, his team was trailing Washington and seemed about to be knocked out of the Rose Bowl competition. Cool and calm, Lansdell shot a l6-yard pass to John Stonebraker for the winning touch- down. Final score-USC 9, Washing ton 2.
