Dec. 11—(®)— Seated on football's throne and gaz- ing reflectively on all the trophies and testimonials of greatness he and his Notre Dame elevens have won, Knute Rockne today pondered: What price glory? What price success? He was ill, physically and mentally ‘weary, and wondered if it was worth it all. He was tired of football. tired of the plaudits of the crowds, and yearned to cast it all aside. When the tumult died after yester- day's rousing receptions for the mas- ter coach and his team, back from their conquest of Southern California, Rockne held on until he could say a few words to the student body and the South Bend citizenry and then stumbled to bed. Is It Worthwhile? “I wonder if it’s all worth the while?” he mused, “It’s all got me and I personally don’t care when I see another football game again. I'm not complaining, understand me, but I’m a sick man and exhausted. My legs, which almost stopped me last fall because of infection, have swelled up again and the pains are getting worse and worse. I'm going to keep that date in New York Sunday and then I’m going to Rochester, Minn., for a thorough over-hauling by the Mayo Brothers for two or three weeks, “T’'ve got to do it and may make some enemies because I have to turn down invitations to speak but if no one else thinks about my health, am going to.” “T've made a resolution not to write and not to give any more speeches than necessary this winter,” he added. “I don't need the money exactly and anyway I’m not going to swap my health for money.” Will Coach Stars Twenty-five of his former football pupils, including the “Four Horse- men” of 1924 were on the practice field here, awaiting his instructions for the charity game with the New York Giants professional team at New York, while still another ban- quet, the annual public football ban- quet, was on his schedule tonight. Yesterday's receptions in Chicago and South Bend were the mightiest tendered any football team in recent memory and the mass meeting in the Notre Dame gymnasium was the greatest in the university’s history. All the speakers, except Rockne him- self, lauded the 1930 team as the best Notre Dame ever had. “We can't in fairness compere our teams,” Rockne said. “I'll say this much—that this team {is one of the gamest we've ever had and one of the best. It did one big thing that I'll never forget. It saved the football reputation of the middlewest, east and south in California. If none of us beat those fellows out there they'd probably stop playing us in the belief that we didn’t know anything about the game.” Oles and Gusties In Games Tonight = River Falls Teachers and Skelly Oils of Owatonna Re- spective Foes St. Paul, Dec. 11.—()—Gustavus Adolphus and St. Olaf college basketball teams play their second to THE PooR AND “THIS CrtV FoR CHRISTMAS!) as I ONLY WISH TO ASK aR Good PEOPLE “fo GIVE EMHER A LITTLE MONEY, “~ SOME CLOTHING , OR FILL A MARKET BAG WITH FooD!

With a few thousand good seats still to be sold, one of the biggest selling stunts ever to be tried is scheduled to take place with a grand windup when the Navy team, arriving here tonight, joins the ballyhoo pa- rade. A parade up Broadway, in which a 90-piece ‘Navy band and detachments from various Army and Navy units around New York will take part, is scheduled to start the program. The parade will end at 46th street and Broadway where a concert by the band is scheduled to stimulate sales made from the 45 army trucks in which will be in the line. The Navy team: is due to arrive in the midst of the demonstration and to take a brief part in it. Whether or not the game is a com- Plete sellout, the prospects are it will be highly successful as a means of raising money for the benefit of the unemployed. And as a great football spectacle the outlook is even better. Reports from the two practice fields indicate that an offensive battle is to be expected rather than a waiting game and that it may result in a duel in which each team tries to outscore its rival. z Navy’s brilliant offense, has contin- ued to click at home while Army’s regulars have not had much success in stopping Plebes, equipped with Navy plays. St. Louis Browns Have Not Bought Art (the Great) Former Chicago White Sox First, Baseman Sold to Mil- waukee Club St. Louis, Dec. 11—(7)—Art (The Great) Shires, former Chicago White Sox first baseman who Washington recently sold to the Milwaukee club of the American Association, a farm of the St. Louis Browns, has not been ordered to report to the St. Louis American League club. ‘This was announced in a telegram from Business Manager William Frield of the Browns, now in New York, and came in answer to reports Shires would come to the Browns. “Shires belongs to the Milwaukee club,” Frield said, “and we net only have not bought him, but don’t plan to. If we make a deal that will send Lou Blue away, we will depend on Young Burns as our first baseman.” New Yorkers Back Bat Battalino in Charity Fund Bout Change of Heart Rather Than Fighters’ Ability Deter- mines Betting Odds New York, Dec. 11—(7)—The con- viction seems to be the east by a slight margin in repre- ern Gridiron Gustie Gustavus Adolphus Game will Be Opening Encounter for Both Schools, > in| attended a conference looking growing on New York's fight faithful that Bat Batta- lino is @ real featherweight champion mak@|or near enough to it to fight an even battle with Kid Chocolate in their pleted negotiations with C.

SECTION IN MTHENRY COUNTY MAY BE SET AS NATIONAL FOREST University and School Lands Board Already Has Be- gun Negotiations Negotiations which may lead in set- ting aside of about 100,000 acres as a national forest in McHenry county are under way between the'state board of university and school lands and the Lake State forest experiment sta- tion, located in St. Paul. Methods by which this land can be acquired were outlined in a letter sent by Raphael Zon, director of the experiment station, to W. E. Byerly, secretary of the board of university and school lands, and state land com- missioner. Mr. Byerly said his department and the governor are in accord with the Proposal and are supporting it fully. The proposal embraces the setting. aside as a national forest purchase unit of some 10 or 12 townships in McHenry county, to include therein about 100,000 acres of hilly land more suitable for timber-growing than for hay-production, pasturing, or culti- vation. Such lands, said Mr. Zon, as were deemed suitable for forest-growing be acquired by the government in the following ways: (1) By exchange with the state for government lands elsewhere in North Dakota. (2) By purchase from the county of tax-delinquent lands. (3) By purchase from private indi- viduals of abandoned farms or the hilly portions of partially used farms. No Legislation Required e establishment of such a forest Mr. Zon said in his letter to Mr. Byerly, “would require no special legislation by congress, as it can be done by executive order. “It might require some legislation by the state to make possible the state exchange or the county sale of lands. The federal legislation required to carry out the plan would be an amendment to the present appropria- tion act for national: forest purchases, calling for a fund of, say, $100,000 for purchases in North Dakota. To obtain such an amendment and increase in federal expenditures, especially at this time, would, of course, require a whole-hearted interest on the part of the people of North Daokta. “If this plan were to be carried out, it would be the intention of the forest service to proceed with the acquisition of the lands slowly and methodically, not attempting to round out the area until sufficient time had elapsed to indicate the feasibility of the forest planting. In other words, we should intend to proceed immediately with planting experiments, gradually en- larging the scale of the experiments ‘as success was attained, and eventu- ally stepping from an experimental basis to one of extensive planting which would insure covering the en- tire government-owned area with trees in a reasonable period of years. Time Is Important “You will see, of course, that there is just the same need to carry on the planting experiments and investi- gations which this station has in mind, and which Senator Nye’s bill in the last congress provided for, whether such a national forest unit is declared and established at once, or whether the administrative act looking toward a large forest is taken after a period of years. Since time is an important element in any such experiments, however, we are very anxious to make some start on planting next spring, if we can possibly obtain suitable stock, and if we find that we have any moneys which can be spared for this new activity. “In attempting to map out the area which might be suitable for tree- planting, and to obtain the other necessary information for our report to Washington, we are handicapped by the fact that Bates (C. G. Bates of the Lakes station, who examined! land in McHenry county) did not have any such large program in mind and therefore did not attempt definitely to learn the limits of the sand-hill area, but rather to obtain an impres- ston of its general physical charac- purposes within the boundaries would! "tary engineer, secretary-treasurer. step would be an important link to bind the parties interested in the line together. That link is a conference between W. Irving Glover, second assistant postmaster general, and a group of Canadian air and postal ‘officials at Ottawa. Mr. Brittin sald Mr. Glover expected to meet the Canadians within the next few days.
