I for Saturday’s game against SouthI ern California’s high scoring machine. To u purpose. Knute Rockne has ] played his cards wisely, to send his j team on the field tomorrow before a crowd of 50,000 doped to lose. The | Notre Dame icach guaged perfectly his announcement that Larry Mul- ' Uns. first string fullback, would be ; unable to play. Those who have seen Southern ’ California trample California, Stan.ord and Washington cannot conceive of any team stopping the Trojans ruthless offense, and this enthusiasm haw wafted Howard Jones’ eleven into the favored position. Knute Rockite's psychology has 1 kept them there. Every word RocK1 ne utters attempts to convey the* . idea that Notre Dann' hasn’t a • i chance. .+ Without exception every football . critic, wtiter and coach in this seeI tion favors Southern California to win. On the score, everyone seems to have overlooked that ugly duck ling of the gridiron, overconfidence. Rockne is sending his team into the game mentally and physically | pitched to spend its supreme effort , ot the year. Southern California expects to I win and hasn't contemplated the I , thought of losing. Only once this; season have the Trogans found j themselves behind, and that was : against Washington state. Trailing j 7 to 0, Southern California became panicky and wasted its strength, j Misplays at critical moments I helped lose this game for Southern j California. With Frank Carideo, dy- : namic quarterback playing his las' ; game, Notre Dame isn’t apt to lose unless it deserves to lose. Bad judgment, gostly miscues, and wasted efforts can beat Southern California even though the Trojans ga*n enough ground to win. Everybody out here hah a definite , opinion about what will happen. ■ Many of them are interesting. Southern California will march | ‘hrough Metzger and Yarr all daylong and gain enough ground to win 1 ten antes,” says one expert. Many think that Marshall Duffield. senior quarterback and candidate for a Rhodes scholarship, will be unable to get started on his long runs, and will be replaced byLittle Orville Mohler, sophomore substitute who will prove the big star of the game. Few doubt that John Baker, j Southern California’s 180-poun * uniting guard, will outplay Bert Metzger. Notre Dame's 153-pound i guard, and prove -he best linesman I on the field. In this connection, it ' must be mentioned that if such is I the case, it will be the first time | Metzger has been outplayed this ' season. o Korea Popu’ation Up

Seoul Korea —(UP)—The popu- . | lation of Korea was 79,331.061 pe.‘ sons at the end of 1929, an increase I of 141.362 persons, as compared with the figures for the previous ; year, according to the returns pubi li hed by the Government General i of Korea.

BIG TEN HEADS IN ANNUAL MEET By Dixon Stewart, UP. Staff Corresp undent Chicago, Dec. 5. ‘.U.R) -Western I conference officials and coaches i 1 gather'd today for the annual two(day winter meeting of the Big, Ten. Unlike previous years the . arranging of football schedules will I not be a major issue. The gridiron schedules have | be n completed and await only the] , rat’fication of faculties. Basketball schedules also have been i drawn up. but coaches of track. ! baseball, swimming and other| ! minor sports will devote their efforts largely to arranging playing! | dates. Football coaches will meet, principally to mak > recommendations 1 to the national rules committee while rules interpretation is the pr'ncipal business scheduled for the baskelbal mentors. Athletic direct, is are sch doled :to consider numerous pt ohlems, I including radio broadcasting of , football games, regulation of the press boxes and other business matters. They also will decide dates and sit s fir the confer nee j indoor and outdoor track meets, i cross country run, tennis, golf.j (swimming, wrestling, fencing and gymnastic meets. Faculty representatives will meet i tomorrow with decision on Northwestern’s and Nitre Dame’s JIOO,000 gift to charity as the most im-j portant matter of business. The universities propose to give this] sum for unemployment relief in 1 Chicago if the committee approves transfer of the 1931 game between ‘heir foctball teams from South Bend. Indiana, to Soldier Field. A conference rule, forbids transfr of a game from the home gridrun to a field within 100 miles of other Big Ten universities. The impression prevails that the committee will deny permissii n for the transfer. o WL w — — ; V —I v.»

_ () VOLLEY BALL DRILL TONIGHF Catholic high school gymnasium will be open at 6 o'clock tonight fcr the rest of the evening in’ order that all members of the various volley I ball teams can practice and learn I the game, z It was oririganly planned to open ! the league schedule tonight but Rev. Joseph Hennes stated that because so many members had not had an opportunity to practice he thought it best to permit all players another opportunity for a workout. The decision to open the gymna sium at 6 o’tlock was so that those who wish to attend the Yellow Jack-el-Winamac basketball game could practice first. Fa'her Hennes stated the league I would open as soon as all players i were ready. o i Old Oaken Bucket Is Recovered at Lafayette Lafayette, Ind., Dec. 5. — (U.K) — The Old Oaken Bucket has been recovered and today rests in offic'al hands at Purdue University. The trophy, symbolic of football supremacy between the two Hoos-1 ' ier state universities, Indiana and i Purdue, had bsen missing for ten i days, lost en route to Bloomington to rest in the balls of the. latest winner. ' Wh»ie the bucket has been, only a few know, and th y won't tell. Its app arance on a leading plat- ’ form downtown Lafayette last 1 night was as sudden and myster- ' ious as was its disappearance. Dr. Edward C. Elliott, of Purdue, was notified of the bucket's recovery. He in turn called Zora G. Clevenger, I. U., athl tic director, who gave directions for its return to Indiana.

LOYOLA DROPS GRID PROGRAM Chicago, D. c. 5.- (U.R) Isiyi la University of Chicago today join-1 cd th- ranks of Protestants against ] •iver emphasis in foot bull and an-j nounced the dropping ui intercd-' irgiatu foot biall front its athletic i prog re tn. Elimination of intercollegiate games Is a drastic change for Loy-' Ma. a Catholic school with an en-‘ i-ollment of 7.000 students. Loyola,, j which recently compl-ted a con-] ertte stadium with a seating capac'ty of 12.000 spectators, was one of the first important middlewestern Schorls to play night football, an innovation severely criticized as an added proof of commercialism in football. During the past year Ixiyola played most of Its home games in Friday night and the season was th- 1 most successful, financially, in the history of the institution. In announcing the change of policy, President Robert M. Kelley, S. J., said, “It is our belief! that the interest and appeal of! th se spectacular games are getting away fri m the colleges and universities anil their students and are being centered in the publicin other words that the coll ges and universities are competin' with entertainment agencies for the patronage of the public. “Football as now administered at Loyola and also quite generally in othrr cdleges and universities, does not serve the chief purpose for which athletics should be fostered in schools, namely, for the sound health and physical development of the entire student body. The present pn m nence and emphasis placed on football is enlangering the true ideals and right ■trrposes of education.” “The university has no hostility to football as a sport." said Father Kell y. “but considers that it has been i veremphasized to the detriment of both the game and the school. “Our action in dropping intercollegiate football, effective immediat !y, does not mean that foottl v ill lie barred at the university, rather it will be encouraged, I but inly as an intramural activity.i Neither will the policy affect our | ntercolDgiate basketball and track] contests. The emphasis placed on; basketball and t ack is in no way I comparable to that placed on football.” — ■ Q.... ... — - FRANCS’ T nSF.S

'rKAIUEi GOVERNMENT CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ! what, but it was not ccnsidered I likely that he would ba asked to build a cabinet until several sen ators, chiefly Theodore Steeg and Pierre Laval, had been given a chance. The fact that Tardieu and Doumergue conferred alone for an hour immediately after Tardieu resigned was given considerable importance. Former Premier Ray me nd Poin care, whose support of Tardieu was unable to save the government from defeat, definitely declined to attempt the formation of a government. "I voted for the government." Poincare told the United Press, "and got all my friends to do the same. I insist I will not aciept the premiership." Th? veteran Aristide Briand has be n ill for some weeks, and his policy of approachment with Germany while serving as Tardieu’s foreign minister was attacked severely. Etienne Cl menteb radical si cialist and former minister of finance and minister of commerce, appeared an uncertain possibility as Doumergue’s choice for premier. Indications seemed to point towards the selection of a l?ft-wing senator, probably Theodore Steeg, former governor general of Morocco. Steeg is known to be politj ica'.ly ambitious, as is Senator Pierre Laval, Tardieu’s minister of labor and close to Briand. Doumergue’s task may be as difficult as that of Tardieu’s first cabinet in November. 1929, which was completed in nine days. Senatorial overthrows are always the hardest to untangle in Fr nch politics. The Herriot government was the last defeated by the senate after the franc inflation of 1925. The Tatdieu cabinet will continue government operations until ’ its. successor finds a working majority. ( Tardieu was defeated while the ( chamber was considering his pet project, a seventeen billion franc , national development program to be spread over five years. The chamber approved the additional military credits which Tardieu and Minister of War Andre Maginot I had ‘defended with great stress. . — o—i Get the Habit—Trade at Homo

UNITED PRESS HEAD SPEAKS • —I MW■ • News Manager Believes Individuality Has Bearing on Reporters > ii Cleveland, 0.. Dee. 5 —(UP) — (individuality and salesmanship in > a newspape. ’s selection and presen-1 j lation of news will make lor mor*! ■ ( interesting reading and greater cir- ■ liulation, in the opinion of Robert . !j. Bender, general news manager of ;!ie United Press. Addressing the National Scholastic Press Association in convention here today. Bender expressed the belief that if editors concentrated more on th. ir own news wares and less on trying to match news items w ith other contemporaries, newspapers would have more flair, originality and readibility than they have now. He cited an instance of one New York Newspaper that took a series of stories, advertised and played tiie stories on one of the front pages, didn’t worry about Sundry items its con-1 {temporaries carried —and gained 11, 000 circulation in one week. i He also urged the students and . i teachers at the convention to stress 11 collusiveness and simplicity in 11 writing. “The sport page suffers the most. 1 I believe, in the matter of writing," Bender said. “The designation of I school teams in terms of Panthers. Tigers, Bulldogs, Wildcats or in terras of Crimson. Blue. Orange etc. leaves the lay reader in a quandary ’ as to whether he is reading about a 1 revolt in a zoological garden or a 1 riot of color.”
