The sale of rootere’ tickets to the Notre Dame game will close tomorrow. Students who d^lay in purchasing tickets until after then are doing so at their own risk, as there are only a limited number of seats in the rooting section, and under no consideration will any more be sold.
Although most of the choice seats have been sold, there are still $4.40 and {2.20 tickets available for the general public. These will continue to be sold until the day of the game. With the selection of Pittsburgh as the Trojans’ opponent in the New Years’ Day game, comes the announcement that public applications for tickets to this game can be made starting today.

Garner Sees Victory in Procedure Against 18th Amendment
Al Smith May Be New York Mayor
NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—(U.E)— With Mayor-elect John Patrick O’Brien not due to take office until Jan. 1, 1933, New Yorkers today' heard the cry of a “non-partisan citizen’s committee to draft Al Smith for reorganization mayor” in 1933.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—%— The test of 18th amendment repeal in the House tomorrow, coming suddenly after 12 years, will plunge Congress into a short session that promises to be turbulent and may affect vitally the incoming Roosevelt administration.
It was doubtful tonight whether Speaker John N. Garner’s repeal move would win. Leaders conceded the vote would be close, and might be decided by absentees. A number of members, largely from the south, still were grumbling at the extraordinary procedure that Garner has adopted, and only lack a champion to break into revolt.
Garner Hopeful
Garner still hoped for victory tonight as did his lieutenants who have been whipping their forces into line. None, however, loudly forecast success. Democratic floor leader Henry T. Rainey and Rep. John McDuffie, Democatic whip, were at their capitol offices making a final check.
“It’s going to be close,” said McDuffie. “Some are still complaining about the unusual procedure on the opening day. Some object to the state convention method of ratification which the Garner amendment provides. They want to use the state legislature method of ratification. Others want protection for dry states and a guarantee against the return of the saloon.”
The program for the opening day of congress tomorrow follows: Senate:
' Called to order at noon by Vice President Curtis prayer by chaplain; three new s’enators sworn in —Walter Walker, Dem., Colo., Robert R. Reynolds, Dem., S. C., and Elijah S. Grammer, Repn., Wash.
Appointment of committee to notify President Hoover that Senate is in session; adjourn out of respect to Senators Wesley L. Jones, Repn., Wash., and Charles W. Waterman, Repn., Colo., who died during recess.
House:
Called to order at noon by Speaker Garner; prayer by chaplain; new congressmen elected to fill vacancies sworn in; roll call; appointment of committee to notify President Hoover that House is in session.
Garner will recognize Chairman Sumners of judiciary committee to call up 18th amendment repeal resolution. If Sumners refuses Democratic Leader Rainey will be recognized to move that the House suspend rules to vote upon the repeal resolution. Adjourns after this business completed.

NEW’ YORK, Dec. 4.—(UP)— There was a Bulgarian prince, two Russian generals, three Mexican generals and a couple of Australian captains, but General Alexander Kradikoff, who used to be in the czar’s cavalry, was the man finally picked for the job.
The job is that of waiting on tables at the Broadway Hofbrau here. Franz Zolt, who handles the entertainment there has had his hands full since, in a moment of dramatic genius, he inserted an advertisement in a morning newspaper Friday, reading:
“Wanted, former foreign army general to sing, dance, and wait on tables. Apply Mr. Zolt.”
“Sure. I got generals,” he told the United Press today. ‘I got 11 fell?rg in all. and most of them were generals except I didn't know about their credentials.
“You see, I do a very nice entertainment job here. I like to make the place unusual. You see
the doorman is a swell baritone, and every' so often he starts singing. And the cigarette girl, Norma Alwater, is a coloratura soprano who made her debut with the Pittsburgh Opera company, and she sings too. So I thought it would be unusual to have a waiter who was a general and could sing and dance.
“No. General Kradikoff didn’t have any experience. But he was the j'oungest, so I picked him. The prince was all right. He i said he got the title of prince for { a favor he did the royal house of Bulgaria. But as soon as I sawr him I knew I couldn’t use him. The Austrian captain was too old. The Mexican generals weren’t much good. But I think General Kradikoff will work out fine.
“No, I didn’t ask any of the generals, or the captains or the prince what was their last job. You see when you're dealing with those people you want to be very careful, and don’t offend them.”
Hoover Demands Debt Explanation
LONDON, Dec. 4.—(U.E)—The Daily Mail’s political expert will say tomorrow that it is believed President Hoover has asked for an enlargement on certain points contained in the second British debt note sent to Washington last week.
Referring to Ambassador Andrew W. Mellon’s visit Saturday with Stanley Baldwin, the Daily Mail said it understood President Hoover had asked for further information regarding the proposal to pay in gold, and the reference to restriction of United States imports.
It is understood, the new-spaper said, that Baldwin conferred at some length with Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald by long distance telephone to Geneva as a result of his conversation with Mellon.
It was learned that Baldwin had assured Mellon that Britain intended to raise no punitive tariff against the United States,

Shipping Board
Urges Cruise Ban
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—(U.E) —The U. S. Shipping board today* urged congress to abolish “whoopee cruises to nowhere” by foreign ships touching American ports.
In Its annual report the board recommended coastwise shipping laws to be amended to compel a foreign vessel to touch and clear from a foreign port before returning to the American port from which it sailed.
The “whoopee” cruises are limited to a short trip at sea and touch no ports. American ships were unable to secure patronage for such voyages, owing, it is said, to their inability to serve liquor.
