And it bites, and leapssix-foot fences. Joe caught ithimself in Minnesota last sum¬mer. And then it broke ioose.Pondelik tried to muzzle it, but itgot just a little bit excited andleaped the six-foot fence that wasbuilt for its especial protection.Once at liberty the pet graytimber wolf rampiged at willaround Cicero, with its master inclose pursuit. But the wolf outranour football hero. At the time theJudge, Joe’s neighbor, was aboutto show how tame the pet was, thewolf bit him on the hand. Thenext morning Joe beheld the“paddy wagon” drive^dp beforehis home, back up to the curbing,and six husky but frightened po¬licemen usher forth the wolf. Andnow it’s safe at home, peacefullyenjoying the care of the all-con¬ference guard of the Universityfootball team.

Another fact of significance isthat Chicago has played a total of152 Conference games in the twenty-eight years. 25 more than its nearestrival, Illinois.The percentage, based on the num¬ber of games won and lost in thisperiod, showed Chicago to be leadingthe Conference with a standing of i day, as announced.756.

Manly.The lines are as follows:“Acaba embeo sin tiro chuagani;Lirenas, berparas tiri ochi busne,Changeri, ta armensalle.”Baffled ExpertsThe quotation in question was sentanonymously tc Mr. Tweedle of theCrerar library. Being at a loss todiscover the meaning of the thing,he turned it over to Mr. Alfred T.Dorf who thereupon set out to de¬cipher the mustic symbols. The puz¬zle was submitted to many of themembers of the faculty who ex¬pressed different opinions as to theorigin of the conglomeration hutcould offer no help as to its actualsolution.In order to enlist the help of theentire University, the quotation was!offered to the consideration of the jcampus yesterday through the col¬umns of The Daily Maroon.Solved by Prof. ManlyProf. Manly when interviewed pro¬nounced it of Spanish derivation andsaid that it is probably some Indiandialect, with traces of Spanish or¬igin. The following note was re¬ceived from Prof. Manly yesterdayEditorThe Daily Maroon.Dear Sir:The quotation in an unknown lan¬guage which puzzled the scholars towhom your reporter presented it yes¬terday is in the language of theSpanish gypsies. Professor GeorgeT. Northup recognized some of thewords, and examination of the vocab¬ulary of George Borrow’s account ofthe gypsies of Spain entitled, “TheZincali” shows that all the words arefrom that language. The quotationapparently means: “This book isyour sorceress; read it. you will findyour spirit strange, false a^nd free.”University AdoptsOxford Planof Debate SECRET SOCIETYFOR MEN GIVEN \BOARD SANCTIONPlan Installation of Twenty-Five Men at MeetingFridayAn announcement of official ap¬proval by the Board of Student Or¬ganizations.

The optional practice is notunder full swing, and yet most of themen are coming out for daily work¬outs.Real work begins with the start ofthe Winter quarter, after which thedual meets will begin. Many on thesquad are from last year’s froshteam which is a good sign. Some ofthese are certain to make a strongbid in Conference circles even thoughit will be their first experience inreal company.Jim Cusack is the most likely pros¬pect to break into the Conferencescoring of all the ex freshmen. Hisspecialty is the 880-yard run andsometimes the 440. In the former hehas been timed under two minutes,which is easily good enough to copfirst in the Conference in ordinaryyears. His remarkable speed is be¬ing rewarded for there is an effortbeing made to match him with thevisiting Finnish star, Paave Nurmi,who begins a tour of the UnitedStates at the first of the new year.Another man who has a chance tobreak into the limelight is Bert Mc¬Kinney. who is the fastest dash manin the University. Last year, in in¬tramural and interclass meets heeasily ran away with the 50-yarddash and high and low hurdles'.Chuck Duval is the promising can¬didate from the ex-frosh squad in theweight throwing events. Duval canheave the shot about .”7 feet and witha few feet more distance will offerformidable competition to Conferenceheavers.Among the upperclasa track menare Captain MacFarlane, Justin Russell, Harry Frieda and Henry Bourketo win points for the Maroons. “Mac”won the 440 indoor event last winterat the Conference meet and is almostcertain to place this year. Russelltied the high jump Conference recordin a flual meet last year but was in¬eligible for the Big Ten meet. Heis out getting into shapq now withhis seolastic standing all arranged.Frieda made a mark for himself inthe Conference pole vault. In thedecathlon tryouts for the Olympicgames Frieda easily secured a place.If the decathlon were a Conferenceevent Frieda would be almost certainto win a first. One of Frieda’s otherqualifications is the javelin, in whichhe has attained a distance of 190feet, sufficient to win a place in anyoutdoor meet. But this is also anevent barred to indoor meets. Bourkeafter cross country practice shouldbe one of the best two milers in theConference.The squad now training consistsof: Captain Bruce MacFarlane,Bourke, Beal, Cusack, Camp, Dugan.A. Edler, F. Edler, Fisher, Farley,Fox, Frieda, Graves, Barcia, Harvey,Levine, Langsworth, Mason, McNeil,Pierce, Ryan, Rudman, Ravencroft,Spence, Stigg, Stackhouse, Davis,Bly, Smith. Grage, Cullivdn, Vilas. TEN DAYS REMAINUNTIL FIRST CAGEGAME WITH AGGIESWith the opening of the Maroonbasketball schedule only ten days dis¬tant Coach Nels Norgren is teachingthe prospective starters a few playswith which to combat the MichiganAggies who play here Dec. 20.The pivoting practice of the firstweeks has been dropped for defensivework and the shooting of baskets hasgiven away to actual play. Ofcourse, the practice shooting con-tines but the experience of cagingbaskets under playing conditions isbeing given the men.Yesterday, the forwards and en¬ter were given the ball and told toget through the guards. The playsbeing taught are put into practiceagainst guards who know them. Thusbaskets are not as plentiful as onemight expect, but the plays begin tolook like sure point scorers againstuninformed guards.The attack this year will be a shortpassing attack centering around“Babe” Alyea at center. Alyea ischosen as the center of the fire l>e-cause of his height and dexteroushandling of the ball on short tosses.A hard tussle is expected from theMichigan agriculturists, for wordfrom the Wolverine capital reports astrong five.
