CIV. Has Tough Week
In Facing Oklahoma,
Indiana Quints
Invaders Backed Fine
Records; Columbus Five
Tackles Duvis-EIkins

George Washington, playing a
couple Of intersectional games, and
Columbus have the collegiate court
scene to themselves this week. The
Colonials start the ball bouncing
against Oklahoma tomorrow night
at Riverside and then lay off until
Indiana comes to town on Satur-
day. Columbus, sporting a couple of
brightly colored plumes in its bon
net, will try for its third straight
victory in a game with Davis
Elkins Tuesday night before recess
ing for the holidays.
Oklahoma, which played st.
Johns of Brooklyn last night, de-
cisively trounced Southern Metho-
dist in its opening game end will be
an odds-on choice to humble G. w.
tomorrow night. The Sooners have
tied for the Big Six championship
twice In the last three years and
are rated outstanding contenders in
the current title race.
George Washington, off its feet in
previous games with Wake Forest
and Oklahoma A. and M, will be
up against a tough proposition for
the visitors boast one of the Nation S
tallest teams, one averaging feet
2la inches in height. Gerald Tue
ker, 6 foot AZ inch soph, is the
squads tallest PLAYER, but Don Heap
is only a half-inch shorter and
Reich, Roberts and Rousey. other
regulars, stand 6 feet l inch or
better.
Oklahoma displayed both power
and precision in walloping S. M. U.
1t sank 26 of its SO field goal at
tempts, working the ball in close
to the bucket for 90 goals with "Ug"
Roberts putting seven through the
hoop. Another noteworthy feat in
this game was Oklahoma's success
in holding down its own personal
fouls to four.
No less powerful Is Indiana, victor
over Wabash, Nebraska and U. c.
L. A. and defeated only by the po-
tent Great Lakes Naval Training
Station quint which happens to be
composed entirely OF former Big Ten
stars. The Hoosiers are recognized
as perennial Big Ten champions and
this year have team strongly
reminiscent of their national cham
pionship combination Of 1899.
Indiana will make the lengthy
hop to the Nations capital in just
two jumps, stopping off at Pitts
burgh Friday night for game with
the Panthers before proceeding
here.

Fed Golfers Meets to Be Hit
By Removal of Many Offices

Possible deathknen Of golf tourna-
ments for Government employees and
a certain change in the lineup II
such affairs are held next year Will
be one result Of the order transfer
ring many non-defense agencies to
other cities. Probably the Federal
match play tourney, sponsored by
The Star for the past four years,
will be cancelled next year although
a decision as to this event and the
individual championship of the Fed
eral Golf Association will not be
made until next spring, when the
Government golfers get together to
arrange their 1912 schedule.
Government Printing Office, whose
team won the Class A champion
ship and the Federal team title
this year, will not be affected by the
shift of non-defense agencies, but
Patent Office will be moved to New

announced change is only the be-

d. Smith, who plays golf at Wash

the change involves the first batch"
of Federal agencies to be moved out.
A decentralization study now is in
progress and Ultimately will cover
the entire Government service.
The 10000 employees to be moved
out of Washington include many
who have competed in The Star

Bat Champ Also Gets
Most Runs, Triples
In National Loop
Brooklyn Is Strongest
Club in Attack, Just
Beating Out Cards
By JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


NEW YORK, Dec. 2O.-The first
rookie ever to win major league
batting championship Is Harold
CPete) Reiser. the sensational CEN
terfielder of the Brooklyn Dodgers,
who hit .343 last season in the Ma
tional League.
The long-necked st. Louis boy
came up to the Dodgers for the last
six weeks of the 1910 season as
shortstop, but III his first full sea-
son as a big Lacquer he became the
outstanding middle gardener OF the
circuit and collected a variety OF
batting honors.
The official National League aver
ages released today confirmed the
end-of- season figures that showed
Reiser not only the leading percent
age hitter, but also first in scoring
runs, 1T; hits for most total bases,
299: most three-base hits, II, and
tied for most two-base hits, 80. He
had the longest batting streak OF
the season-18 games in mid-season.
At or Near Top All Season.
Except for the fact that he was
hurt and did not play the last
couple days of the campaign. Relser
also might have led in total hits,
for he finished second to Stan Hack
of Chicago, 1856 to 1874.
Reiser maintained steady pace
ut or near the top of the hitting
leaders throughout the season and
was an important cog, naturally
in propelling the Dodgers to their
first pennant in 81 years.
Arrayed behind him among the
regulars who played in more than
100 games were the veteran John
Cooney of Boston, .3l9; Joe MedWlck,
Brooklyn, 318: Stan Hack, Chica 90,
.3l7; John Mize, st. Louis, BIT;
FLOYD (Arky) Vaughan, Pittsburgh,
.316; Nick Etten, Philadelphia, .311;
Fred Dixie Walker, Brooklyn, .311;

Dolph Camilli, Brooklyn first
baseman and the leagues most valu-
able player by vote 0f baseball
writer's. hit .285, but collected the
most home runs. "a. Mel OFT. newly
named manager of the Giants, hit
27 to bring his record lifetime total
to Ais.
The Dodgers led in all versions OF
club batting, contrary to popular
supposition that the Cardinals had
the best offensive club. But the
difference in percentage was slight,
Brooklyn having 2723 and st. Louis
PTS.
Brooklyns lead In total bases. a
guide to slugging proves, was 2,22l
to 2,058.
Danny Murataugh of the Phils

IDEALS

When high school seniors be-
gin to think of the future, some
kindly person always emergeS
with the example of someone
who sold soap at thirteen and
is now a millionaire, or they
call to mind the oft-repeated
tales of Carnegie and Rookie
Teller.
Such examples cause false
ideals. It's a million to one
chance that the student will
become 50 successful.
The period of territorial and
agricultural expansion is over.
Industries are we'll established.
True, there are opportunities,
but they aren't what they used
to be.
Sometimes this idea of be-
coming wealthy becomes an
pbsession with students. They
try to get rich by easy means.
They organize societies and get
branded as Reds. Both methods
of getting rich get them to the
same place---jail.
The picture painted may be
a trifle radical, but it conveys
the general idea.
Better examples for students
would be lives Of people, who
made good not by becoming
rich but by doing things that
gave them personal satlsfac-
ton. 1t is much more i'm
portant to be satisfied than to
be rich.

THRU MY

Yes, we may have some de-
featiSt among us. They say
cant" before they give them
selves a chance to see what
they are capable of doing. Give
yourself a square deal. Don't
cheat yourself out of an oppOr-
tunity to win.
We have learned from exper-
fences as well as observation
that those who wish to succeed
can do so. There is one price
every person must pay If he
wishes to be successful and
that is work.
There are entirely too many
people in this world who have
no idea that they r capable
of doing because they never
get uD enough steam to find
out. It is not so much a ques-
ton of how many talents we
possess. but how much will to
use and develop the talents we
have that is important; it isn't
so much of a question of how
much we know, but rather how
much we do with what we
know that counts toward self
improvement and success.
Have you ever stopped to CO.
nsider how much thoughts are
worth? Some persons thoughts
net them gain. whereas other
persons are worth just about
two cents. In this connection
we are reminded of the words
of a famous man who once
said, Against stupidity the
very Gods themselves contend
in vain" .
When it comes to rules and
regulations, we have some stu
dents in our midst who give
the impression that they think
they are an exception. This
democratic institution where all
have equal rights and all are
treated alike. Whats good for
one is good for all. We play
no favorites here, so please do
not act as if you we're a privile-
ged character, and don't assume
rights to which you are not en-
titled.

While Your
Purents Sleep

At the sound of the chime it
will be 4:3O A. NJ; Mountain
Standard Time. It is summer
time, and a rosy glow is steal
ing across the eastern sky. The
small town of Hardin, located
in southeastern Montana, Big
Horn County, is wrapped in
slumber, with one or two minor
exceptions. You are a minor
exception. .
You are faced with a great
problem; how to get to bed
without waking your loving pa
rents.
Now, there are two methods
of dealing with this. One is to
take your shoes off, expect the
worst, and get 1T. The other
is to walk boldly into the house
as loudly as possible.
We, personally, advise the
former course. 1t is somehow,
more genteel, especially for
young ladies.
Bv this time you have pro-
badly removed the footwear,
following Plan / and are turn
ing the doorknob. You will.
nine chances out of nine, rea-
lize now that it might have
been a good idea to oil the
door when Mama asked you to.
There, now, that much is ov-
er. The door has been opened
and shut. Next. YOU tiptoe, as
SOFTLY as possible, across the
kitchen floor. Remember, the
board in front of the stove
snueaks like fury. Please do not
stem on it.
When you arrive at the door
to the stairway, proceed the
same as with the outside one
and step up the first step.
ONLY, something seems to be
the matter. Instead of being on
the second step toward the up
per regions, you are located on
the landing of the basement
stairway. Around you is an as
sortment of pots, pans, dish
pans. fruit jars, and Fuller
brushes. Aunt olives wire bus
tie is draped rakishlv over the
left half of your head. This
would be Immediately removed
as it serves no practical pur-
pose.
Apparently, the falling down
of the ktichenware has caused
conclusion of the floor, be-
cause here comes Dad.
Oh, well, it's a great life any
way,
