Hoosier Cage Five
Are Hard Fighters
Notre Dame Will, Invade
Nebraska This Week in
Dangerous Mood.
South Bend,. Iml. Feb. 15 (Special
Telegram.) The Xptre Dame basket
ball quintet will invade Nebraska in
the dangerous mood of a powerful
team recovering from a stump, and
Creighton and .Nebraska teams may
well prepare for a fighting battle. The
Irish took the first five games of the
season from Armour Tech, Valpa
raiso. Kalamazoo, Michigan Aggies,
and St. Marys of Dayton, and then
struck the skids by losing to Wa
bash, considered by many critics the
best in the west. Hie Wabash game
was the first of five hard games in
eight days and the Catholic team
lost heartbreaking battles to Dc
Pauw, Michigan Aggies, Western
State Normal and Marquette before
settling down on their own floor.
When Western State Normal ap
peared on the home floor last week,
Coach Halas made a radical change
in his lineflp and evened the season's
scries by hanging a 24-19 defeat on
the Teachers and came back the next
day with a 59-15 count against Arm
our Tech.
The spurt of the Hoosier squad
is largely credited to the phenomenal
work of Logan, a second string for
ward, who broke into the Armour
game and scored 11 baskets. Capt.
Mehre and McDcrmott are traveling
at topspced and with Kiley and Ed
die Anderson, the latter all-Amcri-can
selection, and captain-elect of the
1921 Notre Dame foot ball team,
guarding tho back court, spectators
at the Creighton game will witness
an evening of active basket ball.

favor. The Baptists kept this two
point lead until late in the game
when two free throws by Falk tied

to returns for the last three months

it is not likely that Governor Miller,
who is seeking all revenue possible
to meet the increasing cost of state
government, will ask for a repeal of
the boxing law.

Tennis Tournaments
New York, Feb. 15. (Special.)
Lawn tennis officials of the Metro
politan association have at last
shown careless players of this vicin
ity that the time has arrived when
patience cCases to be a virtue. In a
manner unmistakable to the most
heedless the organization of clubs
conducting the important tourna
ments in this section have declared
to the players, pay your entry fee in
advance or you will not be per
mitted to compete.
The crisis in the affairs of the local
championships which brought about
the adoption of the pay as you en
ter" rule was reached last season. All
of the important tournaments were
seriously marred by a disgraceful
Dumber of defaults. The situation
became so intolerable 'as to cause
investigation on the part of the
Vnitejd States Lawn Tennis associa
tion officials. As was indicated at
the time the remedy was devised and
its observance m the tournaments of
1921, foreshadowed.

A Successful Failure.
The 18th amendment will be re
membered so long as there are studi
ous birds to drink in history. Prohi
bition haS- been a success. For the
bootleggers.
In the old days, a wife could de
pend on her husband being in the old
corner boozarium. The difference
between prohibition and the old days
is that a wife used to know where
to find her husband. Now, she
doesn't know where to lok for him;
he isn t dependable any more.
rfe may be following the distilled
tracks of the hootchlegger to his sub
terranean mansion or sniffing the
breezes for a bottled in bond clue.
Prohibition has made drinking ex
clusive. Make anything exclusive
and all the neighbors' children want
to join the party.
Tell a boy he can't do something
and he will do it if he busts a leg.
The boy is father to the man. And'
father's legs are stronger.
They've got to be. In the olden
days they aged the alcohol in the
wood. Now they age the wood in
the alcohol. It's getting so in these
days that black looks like a gay and
festive color. If folks see a man
smiling, they marvel at him like an
Arab seeing his first airplane.
Sunday is going to be a beautiful
iayJor a murder by the time the
bluhibitionists, the prohibitionists
and don't-hibitionists get through oil
ing the machinery with a monkey
wrench.
The abolitionist of 1861 freed the
slave. The abolitionist of 1920 slaved
the free.
The 18th amendment doesn't work
because it was designed for folks
who do work. The rich man can
still step forth and grab headaches,
nausea and delirium see-cms, but the
poor arc denied that luxury.
The canning of vodka saved Rus-
tsia. Aow they tight better than ever.
And the 18th amendment will save
America when it passes over" the
bootleggers' veto.

The Western league club owners
at their annual meeting in Des
Moines yesterday accomplished one
good act when they voted to prohibit
the importation of players from ma
jor league and Class A and AA
teams during the remaining 30 days
of the season.
In former years it was possible
for club owners whose teams were
in first, second and third places in
the standings to import pitchers and
heavy hitters just before the final
race for the pennant started.
The ruling made yesterday will
ptohibit any major league or Class
A or AA players joining Western
league clubs during the last 30 days.
Altbough W. A. (Pa) Rourke is
out of Western league base ball for
the coming season, club owners in
the circuit voted yesterday to make
the veteran Western loopjteam own
er an honorary member of the
league. '
Adoption of ;i 168-gamc schedule
will be. a help to every city in the
Western league. By having a longer
playing program it is necessary to
play threegame stries in each town,
where, under the 154-gamc chart, the
series consisted of three- and four
games. The longer schedule calls for
mere games in each town, thereby
helping the "strong box."
Omaha fans will not have an op
portunity to cast their optics upon
the local squad of diamond stars
until Friday, April 29, when the
Omaha club opens a three-game sc
ries with Oklahoma City.
Mrs. T. R. Jameson broke into
the spotlight among the women
bowlers of Omaha recently when
she rolled three series, three games
eadU. chalking up a total of 592. 650

for the nine game was 212.
She is a leader of the Chocolate

Basket ball is becoming a popular
sport with base ball players' and

King George Says
Violence Will Not
End Irish Tangle
Kiug Declares Misguided Sec
tion of People Resort to
Criminal Methods to Oh-
tain Independence.
Loudon, Feb. 15. Violence wijl
not solve the Irish problem, King
George declared here today in his
speech from the throne to the two
houses of Farliameut in formally
opening the session. One of the
outstanding sections of his address
referred to Ireland, the king saying:
"The situation in Ireland still
causes nys distress. A misguided
section of the Irish people persists
in resorting to methods of criminal
violence with the object of estab
lishing an Independent republic.
"Neither Irish unity nor Irish
self-government can be attained by
this means."
The king's speech was brief, but
touched on numerous vital questions
confronting the government. At the
outset it referred to the coming con
ferences to be held in Londoi.-and
attended by the representatives of
allied nations, Germany and Turkey.
Hopeful of Peace.
In discussing the Irish question
the king said:
"Arrangements for bringing into
force the government's Irish act are
now jvell advanced, and I. earnestly
trust that in the near, future the
majority of the people will show
their determination to repudiate vio
lence and give effect to an act
which confers upon them responsi
bilities of self-government, and pro
vides machinery by which they can
attain Irish unity by constitutional
means."
Solution of the problem of unem
ployment does not rest with Parlia
ment, the king declared in discussing
this important subject.
"The "most pressing problem con
fronting you," he said, "is that of un
employment, which is a result of
world-wide restriction of trade. You
wjll be invited to pass a bill extend
ing provisions which were made for
the unemployed imdcr the unemploy
ment insurance act."
(This act provides that employes
pay a premium against unemploy
ment, by which they receive govern
ment assistance if they are out of
work.)
Will Ask Dry Law.
'"A measure will also be introduced
in the House of Commons," the king
continued, "dealing with the safe
guarding of essential key industries
of the country and with certain as
pects of unfair and abnormal indus
trial competition. I earnestly hope
these efforts may be seconded by the
loyal and frank co-operation of em
ployers and employed, for it is
through co-oneration of capital and
labor, in a spirit of mutual trust and
confidence, that early solution of this
grave problem my be found.''
King George announced the de
termination of the government to re
duce expenditures to the lowest level
consistent with the well being of the
empire," and he stated a bill would
be presented dealing "with the sale
of alcoholic liquor in the light of ex
perience gained during the war."
