What started out to be rather me-
diocre training quarters for the

turned out to be even more salts

tiles at Eastern State Normal
School, 1S miles west of Spokane in

dresser, q desk, a couple Of chairs
and one or two windows.
Across the river from the city
and away from its nocturnal lights
and noises, the nights are said to
be even coolor out there than they
are in town. And because the
players faithfully have abided by
their II o'clock curfew, Coach Ray
Flaherty rather relishes the fact
that they can come into Spokane
at nights for the diversion of a
movie or the sight Of city lights.
One Of the biggest items of salts
faction to the players is that
Flaherty was successful in getting
the same chef they had last year.

We asked Pinckert how he thought

through he looked just like the old

recognized as an enterprising and
up-.o-the-minute sporting goods
salesman. Erny Pinckert, the Red
skins No. businessman, puzzled
an athletic clothes manufacturing
firm no end recently when he asked
for samples of uniforms of the
1918 season.
Are you going backward or for

Given a contract for $4,000,
Plnckert, who annually outfits not
only the Redskins. but every major
college eleven on the Pacific Coast,
conducted months research to
familiarize himself thoroughly with
every style of uniform which
Rockne's teams had worn from 'l3
until the grand old mans untimely
death in 1881.
When it developed that no SPORT

had a trace of the old-styls uni
forms, it fell upon Pinckert to draft
and design the patterns to equip

a l6-year period. Starting with
the l3 season, Pinckert thus de-
vised no less than six different sets
of suits, for there were that many
major changes until an airplane

years ago.
My main difficulty was in getting
moleskins for the earlier uniforms. I"

In one of his first games the Van

CHAPTER V.


Whole Kingdom Feels Witch's Spell.
That night the good, gray Queen
had asked her whole kingdom to
dance and sing.
1t was her daughters 2lst BIRTH
day-just 81 years from the day
that Santa had left the little,
changeling mermaid in the castle
nursery. The Queen had named her
Karin and had been very happy
with her.
OF course, the Queen didn't know
that Karin had been mermaid
Karin didn't know it either. But
the Queen had kept carefully the
pearl she had found in the baby
hand. You remember, Neptune had
given it to the baby He said the
pearl would tell her what the future
held.
Karin had grown into a beautiful
young lady with sunny. yellow hair.
The whole kingdom loved her.
So this Christmas Eve the Queen
was sending gifts of food to all
her villages. On the lawn in front
of the castle she had set up a
Christmas tree higher than the
castle towers and topped it with
a cluster of red candles that burned
like star. The tree was strung
with peppermint candies and red
apples.
Just the Right Time.
At dusk there were parties all
over the kingdom. That was just
the right time for the three ugly
giants to cast their spell They
slipped up and down the gardens
in the dark. They did just as their
wicked mother, the witch of hate,
had told them.
The giant who thought he was

mothers brew into each well and

You will forget your husbands and
