The United States government
policy is that it intends to do what

The extent to which this govern

TO risk war in so doing, depends
entirely upon developments.
The American government. more

feels that ii is up to Toxic to show

position to keep one he seriously
went shopping for one, by mail.
On the advice of a friend whose

from Chicago as the best OF the
many offered him. The price was
a munificent $50, a sum usually
demanded for an ordinary pure

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Feb. 10
Don Miller, Cleveland lawyer and
one of the famed -Four Horsemen,
has the inside track as Notre Danes
new athletic director if he wants
the job, the Associated Press learned
from authoritative sources today.
Miller, the only member of the
famous Irish backfield of 1924
who passed up coaching as career
after brief periods as backf1eld
coach at Georgia Tech and Ohio
State. was scheduled to confer to-
day with the Rev. Hugh ODonnell,
president of Notre Dame, on the
coaching vacancy.
The vacancy was created last
Monday when Elmer Layden re-
signed suddenly as athletic director
and head football coach 10 take q

year.
Miller. however, does not want the
job as Notre Danes athletic direc-
tor. but there is an outside chance
that loyal alumni may persuade
him to take it.
Apparently the sentiment at No
tire Dame is to split the jobs of
athletic director and football coach
as they were before Layden took
charge in 1884 Lawrence T. Buck
Shaw, Santa Clara's brilliant coach,
still is the popular choice as foot
ball mentor, few close observers even
mentioning any one else in connec-
ton with the coaching position.
Notre Danes faculty Board Of
Athletics. which held its first meet
ing to discuss the vacancy last Fri
day. will meet again tonight to con-
slider Layden's successor. The board
will make recommendations to
Father ODonnell. who has said the
new athletic director and coach will
be announced by March l.
However, the name Of the new
coach was expected to be announced
within week Father ODonnell
has indicated he would be guided
by the boards recommendations.
There was widespread report
last night that Shaw had been given

Ben Jones is plenty pleased with

Warren Wright's 1910 2-year-old

Wright said he was well pleased
with the manner in which Ap-
prentice Wendell Eads rode Whirl-
away. The young jockey did not
attempt to rush the starting
thoroughbred as the ,five-horse field
came out of the gate, but instead
waited until Whirlaway seemed
ready to make his bid.
Although Whirlaway was carried
somewhat wide as they rounded the
turn into the stretch, he did not
run outside to the farming extent he
did in some of his 1910 starts.
