Then will come two vacation mcntb, during which most of The men will engage In pome sort of heavy outdoor work In order to be In perfect trim wrhn the actual work bgins In September. Meanwhile, bowever, they are plated to learn a great deal regarding the ins and outs of football. When Itocknc has compk-tH his lecture and demonstration course, the men v111 have n solid working knowledge of the ,"otre Dar..e f-tyle of play. That v. 11 make things rasier when fall ' omes around.

These men peem to realize Jhe tremendous task which conPnts th Gold and Blue football m. They realize that they cannot compare at present with the pquads of previous years. Heretofore, Rockr.e's call In the sprln? has attracted a flock of veterans in addition to the seasoned substitutes nnd the recruits from the Freshmen. This year, however, pr.icticnlly all the men are preen. Almost half of them are freshmen many have had no more football experience than was afforded by a year's work with an interhall team. But all are determined to wacje the hardest tort of a fight for a position on the Varsity In the fall. All winter the men have been working out In the apparatus room or with track or basketball squads. Most of them are In good condition right now, for all of which Notre Dime at large is duly thankful. When "Rock" gets them rolling around In the enow and mud of Cartier field as he Intends to do, they
"will become well conditioned for a
good Hummer's labor on the section, in the boiler factory" or at the fire pit of a Jnromctlve.
Glenn Warner, of the University of Pittsburg. Intends to Inaugurate something new In the football coaching line next fall. Warner will coach the T'lttsburg team officially. By use of the telegraph wires, he will advise the coaching etaff of "Leland Stanford as to how that eleven should be run. Warner recently made a trip to the coast at the request of Iceland Stanford. That institution desired to raise the standard of Its athletic teams, football in particular. University of California, under Andy Smith, the former University of Pennsylvania star, has been hoggin? the .potlight on the coast. The depire to secure Warner was actuated by the failure of Stanford to furnish keen competition for California. Warr.er accepted the offer made by Stantord. However, It was impossible for him to get away from PittPbursr until he had completed hl3 contract. It was agreed that he was to act an advisory coach. It would be interestingto read what the wires wll! carry after fome team trims th eleven that Warner is coaching by correspondence methods.

BILLY EVANS
Says
Promoter Slips Away From Gotham Leaving. Fight on "Financial Limb." By DAVIS ,T. WALSH. (I. X. S. S ort s 1 31 1 tor.) NEW YORK, March 6. Curiously enough the $350,000 offer of Harry Fräse, to Jack Dempsey for the heavyweight champion's financial consideration for engaging in a bout with Harry Wills to not altogether distressing to the delicate sensibilities of Jack Kearns. ' Mr. Kearns let this be known today in discussing the proposal of the Boston baseball magnate. Lacking something better, Mr. Kearns might even consider it as "acceptable," he Intimated. That 13, with certain reservations. For instance, was Mr. Frazee. accustomed to do his talking with his checkbook? If so where was Mr. Frazee now? On his way to Hot Springs? Very annoying. Mr. Frazee had left r;e matter out on a financial limb, so to ype.ik. These observations were :.o senso uttered in a chidin r .spirit, asserted Mr. Kearns. on the contrary, he could experience nothing but sincere admiration for any man who
J could even talk about that much
money. Hut where was it, and what site if any, had Mr. Frazee s-eletted for the proposed bout?

South Bend's opening game will
probably be the most difficult of! their entire .schedule, as they will I rn.ee t the strong Iaporte team. The!
local boys will be without the services of the hard hitting Dan Sanders for the curtain raiser, as Dan will not complete hLi college work at Harvard until June. Webster will also bo out of the lineup this year, which means that the Chain o' Iake stars will be forced to the limit to retain the championship they won in 1520 and 1921. Golf enthusiasts have been workin? daily at Bert Ieyering's golf pchool and a number of men are showing remarkablo Improvement, and if they show as well this spring will probably be given a chance on the team. The Invitation events sched uled should draw a big entry each time as the members of the St. Joseph Valley Association clubs will be eligible to compete and will be classified according to their handicap?.

Sixteen Con test an ts In Billiard Tourney In Progress at Elks
,Tommy Gibbons Doped to Win Over Harry Greb in Battle at New York St. Paul Mauler Must Either Knock Pituburger Out or Decisively Outpoint Him to Stay in Running for Fight With Dempsey Greb Clever Boxer.
BY BILLY EVANS. Who will be Jack Dempsey's nexf opponent? Harry Wills has already qualified as a contender. His quick knockout of Kid Norfolk In the fecond round of their bout proves that Wilis packs a punch. Tommy Gibbons, prominently mentioned as the logical opponent for Champion Dempsey, is to be put to the acid test March 13. On that date Gibbons will clash with Harry Greb of Pittsburgh at Madison Square Garden in NewYork. This bout should be a whale of an affair. Gibbons must win decisively to stay in the running as one of the leading contenders for the heavyweight title. Ho must either win by a knockout or outpoint Greb by a wide margin. Nothing better than a draw will be a fevvre blow to Gibbon's reputation. In meeting Harry . Greb. Gibbons is really going against only a middleweight fighter. In all probability Greb won't weigh over 165 pounds, possibly lighter. If Greb was to shade Gibbons in the coming bout it would erase much of tho reputation that the St. Paul fighter has been years building up. Fistic farwj will say that a fighter who can't decisively win over a middleweight has little or no chance to rwap punches with Jack Demp-
cey. That is the position Gibbons wil find himself in If Greb should defeat him. Gibbons certainly dopes to outpunch Greb. Tommy has proved that he packs a knockout punch. A long list of heavyweights wilt testify
to that fact. His k. o. record is a
most impressive one, even though pome soft marks are included in the list. Gi-cb Shifty Boxer. Greb has never established a. reputation as a knockout artist. Rather he has won praise for Iiis shiftiness. Few big men are faster on their feet than the Pittsbur? boy. Ho bounds around like a rubber ball and is a mighty hard man to hit, since he seldom 13 flatfooted. Ti will not be the first meeting between Gibbons and Greb. The ralr have teamed up on two other occasion. Both bouts, no decision affairs, were staged at Pittgburff, went the limit ten rounds and were cloe. The first meeting was in 1915, the other in 1920. Tommy Gibbons during his career, which started in 1913, has never been knocked out. Greb, who started fighting at tho same time, has suffered one such reverse. In his second year of fighting Joe Chip stopped him in two rounds. Gibbons is the logical favorite. He dopes to win. Aa a matter of fact he must win decisively or lose a lot of his prestige.

Ruth, with a number of tho cthr Xew York Americans, is here taking the bathn and doing tome preliminary work. So far baseball has not been indulged in by Iluth to any great extent. He haa r-ent mast of his time on the golf links since his arriv.al. Thcw who have followed Ruth around the course have marveled as much at his long drives as hi home runs. Ruth is a whale from tho tee, but not so jrood on his fhort game. He explains his failure to shine on the greens by eaj-ing that he rrever gets any satisfaction out of hitting tingles. Ruth refuses to discuss Judge Ladl.V decision, which will keep htm cut of tho game for five weeks. He merely horxn that the judso will show htm & little mercy and let h'rn to bock sooner. Waite Hoyt. rtar pitcher of the New York Yankees, who was the hero of the hst world's furies, is a'o an asler.t golfer. While Hoyt doesn't hit them ai far as Ruth he la an excellent driver and p!r.ys a better ehort game than Ruth.

NEW Y'ORK, March 6. From across the water comes another European Mrtic champion seeking new fields to conquer. Tete Hobln la the latest arrival. He lays claim to the welterweight title of Europe. Hobin i a Belgian. Ills home 13 at Antwerp. He Is 23 years old.' weighs 148 pounds when not in training and is only 5 feet 5 inches tall. Tho European title holder is unquestionably the shortest welterweight In the world. However, what he lacks in height he makes up in treadth. He is on the tjTe of Bob Mol.3, who in the old days was known a the "cave man" of the middleweight division. Like Georges Carpentier, Hobin was an aviator in the late unpleasantness with Germany. He wore the colors of his native land, Belgium. Hobin comes to this country unheralded. Georges Carpentier was wildly received, made the hero of the hour .and carried with him the well wfchea of many an American in his flght with Dempsey. Unlike Carpentier, Hobln has slipped into our fair country almost unknown. However, he may meet with much better success than tho much touted Georges. Hobin has taken part in 95 bouts during his ring career. He has never been knocked out. On five occasions he has loet the decision. In turn, he has kayoed 47 of hla opponents.
Holiin comes to this country to feek a bout with Jack Britton. He is modest In his claims and feels that before cnmpir.g on the trail ol Britton he should prove to the

The Benton-Harbor-South Bend High School basketball game, which was scheduled for tonight ha been postponed until Friday, March 17.
Coach Burnham was to take Iiis
squad to Benton Harbor this afternoon, but a long distance telephone call from the Michigan oihcials postponed the fracas. Culver Military Academy will be the next opponent. The cadtts will be met on their own court next Friday evening, in what promises to be the hardest game of the entire seaeon for Capt. Scheer and his quintet of basket tossers. The Cadets hoist of a strong aggregation, fully capable of takin? the measure of the locals and thereby breaking the tstring of 13 straight consecutive victories, which the locals have to their credit. The Culver team won over Loyola Academy by 20 points and have ahc defeated Morgan Park and Englewood. Stage Fa-t Practioe. Pep and enthusiasm featured the practice yest. rdaj; fternoon. Coach Burnham had given his men a three day layoff and they r;ui through their scrimmage with vim, unequalled in former practice .se.'-sions. probably one of the reasons that they are so enthusiastic is that even- one of Capt. Sehet-r's crew sat on the side lines and saw Goshen annex the sectional championship Saturday. Thii was the firt tim- that any othr team than South Rend had won the annual event. This and their belief that thy could have won the meet easily, have mad the men determined to make a bitter fight for top honors in the national tourney at Chicago. Coach Burnham seemed well satisfied with the juggling of the Benton Harbor game until a later date. This will givo hi.s men a gam1 each Friday night for the next three weeks. By the time of the last game, his men will have gor.- through three real hard assignments and should be in even better shape then, then they are now.
