BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, December 3.— The consistent success of Notre Dame foot ball elev- ens has had the inevitable result of causing the institution they represent to stand distorted in the popular view. Its chief product, as the public sees it, is foot ball. Certainly foot ball is the most spec- tacular output of this university at South Bend. And so, since popular at- titudes are almost invariably based upon superficial elements, foot ball at Notre Dame is generally held to be the sum 8s it is the end of endeavor at this seat of learning. Now very shortly a member of the staff of the Carnegle Foundation for the Advancement of Learning will visit Notre Dame in connection with the supplementary bulletin to_bulletin 23, covering conduct of intercollegiate sport in the United States, which will be issued, it Is u?ectgd, next February. It is quite likely that among the features of this builetin will be a dis- cerning appraisal of the curriculum at Notre Dame, scholastic conditions which students—athletes included—must meet, as well as an adequate evaluation of the prevailing educational tone of the university. The result should bring about a readjustment of the popular conception of Notre Dame. Definite Scholastic Bone.

Anyhow, Watkins likes a good yarn, ‘whether it be on himself or not. He came to Freddie McLeod, where the Columbia mentor was sitting with a group of members after a game in the Irigid atmosphere, and said, “Freddie, did you hear the story of the world’s wnrr:{ goifer?” “No,” gaid Freddie; “let’s hear it.” “Well, you know that course down in Chattan: >ga, where the river bends around and cuts in at the right and left.

It has always been the policy at Notre Dame to have a large representation of laymen in the teaching corps, but the present percentage would not be so big were more priests ordained every year. About one-fifth of these lay teachers are non-Catholic; the College of ence, for instance, has six Protestants, And of the total student enrollment of 8,100, 8 per cent is non-Catholic. In the five years at least six non- Catholic ministers have attended classes at the university. Romance About Place.

The heads, turned out by a famous Scottish golf club manufactur- ing company, bear the initials, “R. T. J.” and “F. O.” which means none other than Robert T. Jones, and Prancis Ouimet, and are supposed to be the consensus of these two fine golfers on what iron heads should be. They have made their appearance at one of the local golf shops and will soon be for sale. They are of the compact blade type and look like real golf clubs. Members of the Chevy were to meet late this afternoon to vote on an increase in club dues from $75 to $100 & year, the added income to be spent for improvements for the club- house and golf course.

A few who made their debuts this year in_the District, League are Buddy Tew, Paul Jarman and Phil Needle. On your guard, vets! AN array of the old guard at the Coliseum last night saw a bowling “feat” new to them. They've seen plenty of high scores, records, etc., but never anything like the Humdingers of The Evening Star League pulled in rolling a complete game without a mark! After dividing the first two games with the Fire Eaters, the Humdingers suddenly slumped woefully. Not that the tcam is as terrible as the final game score would imply. It was just one of those things. As & matter of fact, the team is rated dan- gerous in The Star League. The boys who “contributed” to the unique record were Vic Haarer, Cleve Stauffer, R. D. Thomas, Wrong Rightstine and Dave McCarty. S different as day from night were the Hyattsville and Chaconas Mar- ket bowlers, who did almost every- thing the Humdingers didn't. Back on their own stamping grounds, Oscar Hiser's Hyattsvillers got hot against Hecht Co. and shot a team set of 1,839, Their games were 608, 656 and 575, Perce Wolfe—this boy is stepping fast—bowled a set of 422, which was only 12 pins from sending Joe Harri- son's District League record set into discard. Oscar Hiser shot 398. Wolfe's games were 132, 162 and 128. Hiser's were 151, 131 and 116. Chaconas Market boys in the Colum- bia Heights League smacked over the team set record with 1828, having games of 613, 642 and 573. Nick Cha- conas, anchor man, shot 417. Loule Pantos had 395. The boys should have flashed some of that form against the all-Ttalian team recently. They might have collected.

N TopAy, a new Ford body type of distinctive beauty is on display by Ford dealers in this city and throughout the United States. It is called the Victoria and is distinguished by many features of design, comfort and convenience. It marks a new degree of value in a low-price car. The striking lines of the Ford Victoria are especially apparent in the graceful sweep of the straighter, lower top, the slanting windshield and the curving bustle back, with the spare wheel set at a conforming angle. There is a suggestion of continental design also in the shape and size of the side windows and the intimate four-passenger seating arrangement: As you open the door and step within the car you will be impressed by the dignity and richness of its appointments. Many details of finish reflect the mode and manner of a custom-built automobile. BY SOL METZGER. Bobby Jones, one of the masters of the pitch-and-run shot, a shot he plays quite often when just off the green, depends in the main for exe- cution upon the grip.
