CRACK UNIVERSITY
TEAM WEAKENED
POMONA WILL MAKE STRONG
BID
Star Athletes of U. S. C. Cinder Squad
Sustain Injuries Which Will Pre-.
vent Them from Partici-
pating Saturday

There is gloom at the University of
Southern California. But a few hours
ago and prospects were bright for one
OF the most successful track seasons in
the history Of Southern California.
Plans for a northern trip We're under
way and everything appeared of a ro-
seate hue
With the Pomona meet but two DAYS
Off Coach Holmes is wondering as to
the outcome. Richardson, the spec
tacular young athlete, who has been
breaking all records for individual per-
formances, is suffering from injuries
sustained in practice. Richardson fell
from height of nine feet while pole
vaulting. AS a result his right arm is
weak.
Sprinter Cooper is also under the
weather and a strained tendon has put
him out of it for the time being. Len
noX, upon whom reliance has been
placed to win the 220. is suffering from
n SIoi'nir1ed ankle. and will be unable to
participate.
Pomona is in the pink and waiting
impatiently to get at their rivals. The
Spurgeon brothers, with Himrod and
Munger, should be formidabl oppon-
ents.
Pomona will send a strong student
representation to cheer on their men
at Bovard field.

BIG MEN ARE GREATER
IDOLS THAN MlDGETS

In pugilism purses are graduated ac-
cording to the size of the men.
If a pair OF bantams are n $500 at
traction, featherweights are worth
$4,000 q battle TO the promoter. Light
weights leap to dazzling heights In the
scramble for wealth A good pair of
1SS-pounders sometimes get $25,OOO for
beating each other
Welterweights are not good drawing
cards. Ills country has not had q
good middleweight engagement for sew
'eral years.
Two good heavyweights will be paid
more for pummeling each other than
the smartest pair OF feathers or light
weights.
From scientific standpoint heavios
put up a slow and uninteresting battle
beside lighter weights.
Ring followers are attracted by the
glamour of mere bulk. The world
worships physical prowess even more
than 1t does mental alacrity.
The rable will follow the footsteps
of the giant every time. Not the mem
tai giant-he is often a dwarf in body
but the physical giant.
There is an old saying that a good
big man Is always better than n good
little man. 1t is strictly true. The
trouble is good big men are rarely
found.
If built of the right kind OF stuff big
ballplayers are better than little ball
players. They have more smashing
power with the bat and they can stand
the wear and :ear of the everyday
struggle better than the slim types
like Harry Bay or the midgets like
Mike Higgins.
The games greatest ballplayers are
always big ballplayers.
The best football players are big
football players.

MANY NEW APPLICATIONS
RECEIVED BY ATHLETIC CLUB

The action of the Los Angeles Ath-
letic club directors in reopening the
membership of the institution at the old
admission rate until March 1 seems to
have struck a responsive chord in nearly
half hundred applicants who have
already taken advantage of it. Today
is the last day that applications will be
received at the old rate, and from the
manner in which they came in the first
two days the new rule went into effect
the directors feel sure that the half
century mark will be passed by a wide
margin.
The business mems classes are making
a hit with athletic clubmen. No less
than fifteen turned out at the noon
class yesterday. which is thought very
substantial support for the innovation.

posts are heavier They usually find
little trouble in obtaining employment
A number of them are abroad this
year. There is Danny" Maher, for
instance, in England. He is one of the
best American jockeys who ever left
his native land to ride for foreign
stables. He has been phenomenally
successful in England-so much so
that the richest owners are eager to
obtain him. He is riding his second
season for Lord Derby. Maher is the
only jockey now riding who has won
three English derbies. OF itself that Is
a feat of sufh cient Importance to estab-
lish his reputation in the turf world.
1t is estimated that he will earn $780,
600 in the saddle this year. He COM
mands a high price, and owners are
| as willing to pay it to him as they are
| to Miller, for they know that they are
securing a competent boy and one
| upon whom every reliance may be
placed.
Other Successful Jockeys.
Lucien Lyme, a jockey much adj
mired in New York when he was in
| the heydey of his success, is riding in
England. Possibly his earnings will
amount to $4,000. The English turf

with a probable income of $4,000 for
the year, and Tommy" Burns has
