PARISIEN QUITS N. D. South Bend, Jan. 28- (A.P.) -Arthur Paristen, diminutive quarterback on Notre Dame football eleven, will leave the university at once and enter Boston University next semester. Coach Knute Rockne refused to comment on Parisier's departure.

BOB GORDON: BET Now that Newcastle has been shoved aside the Bearcats leave at 9 o'clock this morning for southern Indiana where they will do battle we with the Bedford "Stone Cutters," rated as one of the strongest teams in the state. The jaunt being SO long and the highways such a slick condition very few people will follow the team, but it is a cinch that they'll be anxiously awaiting the result, back home. A victory over Bedford will mean much to the purple record, and if they enter the game with that old Bearcat fighting spirit baindato long prevailed they are come a winner. YOUR TONIGHT, BEARCATS, GIVE RETHOSE STONE CUTTERS AND FIGHT FINAL GUN SOUNDS. On to Bedford.

And may we ask, how did you like that Newcastle game? Scanning the mail this morning we find a letter from G. R. Stinchcomb, manager of the Columbus Kinnears basketball team, desiring games with strong Indiana teams for sometime in February. Johnny Miner, former high point man in the Western Conference and one of the cleverest players ever turned out of Ohio State University, is captain of the team. Along with Miner are such well-known Buckeye stars Chic Harley, Mel Shaw, Bob Shay, et al.

Any teams desiring games are asked to communicate with Manager Stinchomb, 1191 Oak street, Columbus, Ohio. at the next desk opines that Marion will give the Bearcats a big surprise next Friday evening, but we can't see it that way, Talked to Vern Boxell, sports editor of the Marion Leader Tribune last evening and informed us that he would not be among those present next Friday night, but was frank in admitting that it wAs not because he was afraid of getting beat. Midget Practice. The Midgets will practice this afternoon at the gym but it is expected that the Cardinals will bel the most attention. One week given from today the Cards battle for the state 110 pound championship at Kokomo.

In his lineup Coach Petwill have Heath and Kurtz tijohn of the Midgets along VanSkyke, with Haynes, Shaw Prosser, Swinford, and the other birds. Something must be done about Fanny Fan. She didn't get 3 home from the Newcastle game until this morning. She says it o'clock was tire trouble. More Business.

Hartford City, Ind. Dear Bob: We are wondering where that list of undefeated teams is, from Muncie. Say, who was that fellow that said Dunkirk beat Hartford City, and tell me how could fouls be called in forty minutes of play. There are only two things are sorfor and they are, we don't have another game with Dunry kirk and that we have no game with Muncie. The Night Owl Club.

No Candy for Us. If a team stalls at Bedford they get the chocolate bars, and if a player gets too many goals on Reyonlds up at Martingville he gets slugged. And these two towns qualify for regionals. "Hot DO YOUR BIT. And now if you want to spend two bits in a way that will bring a real quarter's worth and at you the same time give you the satisfaction of doing something for the team -get a ticket at once for "Blonde or Brunette" at the Liberty Theater Wednesday and Thursday.

The Hatchets will receive a big percentage of all advance seats sold and the money will be used for a glass back-board just like they have at the state tourneys. Get that ticket at once--we need the glass board and you need the recreation. The show is good, the cause is good. The same for one or h. -Washington Herald.

Tunney and Speaker, Hagen and CobbWhat have they given of thrill and of throb, In spite of the cheering that comes from the throng, Compared to a dreamer who came with a song?

The Gathering Surf. Any one who had to follow somewhat steadily the sporting campaign of 1926 will testify that it was hectic enough. But in place of easing up the 1927 menu is almost doubly intensified. The gathering surf is already beginning to roar. Last season where there was little international polo, 1927 will be seething the new struggle for the Westchester Cup.

in India Polo Association already has named Major A Atkinson, Major Williams, Captain Dening, Captain George and Captain Roark to represent Hurlingham, and they have been hard at it for some time. Last season there was little international golf over here, where this summer will find Britain's professional team making an invasion. Last season there was only one heavyweight contest, culminating in another title meeting. There is the same increasing surge all along the line. Life will be just one offensive after another, where one will need a motor boat, a motorcycle and an airplane to cover any respectable part of the scene.

Champions and Their Chances for 1927. No. 5. Gene -Heavyweight. Gene Tunney in his next stand is pretty sure to meet either Jack Delaney, Jimmy Maloney, Jack Sharkey or Jack Dempsey.

Any fighter who can survive this merry gauntlet will be rated with an even chance against the champion for the first time since Dempsey met Willard at Toledo. That was an even-money matter, where in most cases the odds run with the champion by 3 or 4 to 1. There isn't much to be said about Tunney's chance this far in advance, for no one knows yet who the challenger will be or just what shape the challenger will be in. Or just how ready Tunney will be after a long vaudeville tour. Suppose Delaney should beat Maloney and Sharkey, and then Dempsey should come along and knock Delaney out? In that case he might be made the favorite over Tunney when they meet.

Or suppose Delaney should whip Maloney, Sharand Dempsey by decisive margins? If he had a knockout or two in this list he also might be made favorite. There is no record of a challenger having been made favorite unless Jefferies is considered the challenger in the Johnson match. But Jefferies was still the undefeated heavyweight champion then. The point is that Tunney almost sure to step into an even money test when he crawls through the ropes next September. So It might be said at this Juncture that his chance for retaining the title little 18 about an even thing.

with to spare on either side. And it is quite possible that some challenger will look impressive enough to carry the favoring odds for the first time in heavyweight history. All of which is an argument that only the spring and summer campaign can unfold. Back of the Scenen. Certain active sports seem to be rather.

Chicago, Jan. rigid code of ethics on recruiting of prep school athletes was adopted today by the committee of sixty of the Western Conference, and the fouryear football schedule framed last by the Big Ten athletic directors was approved and commendweek ed.

Each football candidate, the committee ordered, will be required to sign and abide by the code. The conference included six representatives from each Big Ten university. Five Cardinal Points. The code formulated embraced these five points: loans and remissions of tuition should not be awarded by universities on the basis of athletic skill, and the unofficial granting of financial aid to athletes by individuals and organizations, by alumni or otherwise, whose primary object in granting the aid in a particular case is the subsidy of an athlete, should be considered unethical. directors and coaches should initiation of correspondence, by distribution of literature, or by personal interviews of their own seeking, endeavor to recruit athletes.

It is legitimate for them to make speeches, or, in response to inquiry, or in casual conversation, to describe the advantages of the institution they represent. and students, whether as clubs, fraternities, informal groups or individuals, should not only scrupulously follow the rule of conduct governing financial assistence set forth in the first paragraph, but should do all in their others. They should vigorously opto prevent a on its violation by pose all such unreasonable or unfair rushing of prospective athletes, as it practically deprives the student of a free and deliberate choice of his university. or field secretaries of alumni organizations should be particularly careful to refrain from Improper activities. athletes should not be promised employment in or by athletic departments of the untversity.

After matriculation may be employed to do necessary work, but they should be paid regular and reasonable scale." The committee then voted that the Conference be required to pass legislation to enforce the spirit of these resolutions. Professor Moran, of Purdue, was chosen chairman of the committee in its deliberations today and by working all day they completed their program.
