Only the calendar realized it was late in December. Nature in many places in the United States got her dates mixed and behaved like spring. Balmy breezes blew across the Prairie Provinces of Canada and it was too mild to make ice for hockey playing. There is no snow in the East and Middle West. ‘The weather prediction for to- morrow is even warmer. Accidental deaths over Christmas numbered 197, according to reports up to noon today from nation-wide points and these were mostly due to traffic accidents. ‘The Pacific Northwest had heavy rains last night after a sunny Christmas. e e— “Lone Star” Dietz, Haskell coach and one-time star. gridder, thinks football has “gone sissy” in recent years.
