The More conservative natives
must have gaped in astonishment
but the younger generation rolled
in the aisles, figuratively speak
ing, when they spotted Jake
Kuhnle galloping into town last
Thursday on his horse, Rose
(short for Rosella.) The ride in
from Erie township had been un-
eventful but when horse and rider
reached the bridge, Rose said,
"Huh, unh," and proceeded to sit
down on her launches thereby de-
posting her rider on the hard
pavement. Persuasive tactics had
to be resorted to before Rose de-
cided to make the crossing, but
eventually she complied. Then
the two rode sedately into town
and down Madison street where
they received the plaudits of their
many friends who were lined up to
watch. At the Madison street ele-
vation Rose said, "Huh unh,"
again and refused to bulge a step.
So there was nothing left for the
rider to do but dismount and lead
the contrary animal safely through
to the other side, but not without
some more persuasion and some
tugging on the reins. That accom-
plished. they went on to make
some personal calls in the south
end of town, leaving hoof print
calling cards at several homes.
From here on we have no more
eye-witnesses, so your guess is as
good as ours how they made out
on the return trip.

As Far AS we're concerned, Edi-
tor Ray Sperber can save his
breath next year when he asks
Santa Claus to put a special gift
under our Christmas tree. A cou-
pie of weeks ago he publicly
stated by way of Jottings Off The
Cuff that he had told Santa to
leave Charlie Atlas as our present.
Just to prove that Editor Sperber
has absolutely no pull with Santa,
whatever, we're forced to tell you
that there was no Charlie Atlas in
sight on Christmas Eve. Not even
a leopard skin to indicate that
Santa had considered complying
with the request. Guess Wen just
have to get new calendar to
paste under Charles picture that
hangs above our typewriter, and
call it a day!

The Harry Karshners had them
selves an extended Christmas holi-

that way, however, but simply be-
cause they had no choice in the
matter. Enroute home from Sid
ney where they. had spent the
holidays with relatives, they got
as far as Findlay when their car
broke down. There the garage
man, who as it turned out was
definitely no Santa Claus in dis
guise, informed them that before
proceeding further they'd have to
have new motor installed in the
car. So they spent a day and a
couple of nights in Findlay and
arrived home Tuesday richer by
one brand new car motor but with
the old wallet a little flatter be-
cause of it.

Lujock Signs 4-Yeor Contract
With Bears at Lush Salary

Lujack became Notre Danes first-
string quarterback In nidseason 1912

defensive players ever to be devel-'
oped at Notre Dame. He is talented
as runner although he rarely was
employed at Notre Dame in that
capacity.
Last year Lujack was awarded
practically every top honor given a
college athlete. He won the John
