This gives the Jeffries club three Of
the greatest pugilistic cards possible
OF arrangement at this time and all
will be fought within the next seven
weeks. 1t also enables the club to make
good on its promise that it would ar
range several high class attractions
for the entertainment of the fans after
the Vernon arena was placed under
roof so that the weather conditions
could not interfere with pulling them
off.
Barry believes that he is about the
best heavyweight in the world and
wants to get a chance at the title. With
this idea buzzing in his brain he post
poned his trip home for Thanksgiving
until he ascertained the result of ne
gotiations for the scrap with Kauf-
mann and made a proposition to the
two local promoters that set both of
distance telephones in their effort 20
land Kaufman. Barry preferred the
ten-round route, but showed his good
faith in demanding a battle with Kauf-
mann by agreeing to fight the big ma
tive son over any route that was
agreeable to the latter.
Long wanted to put them on over the
forty-fve-round route, as this distance
should enable them to settle beyond all
QueStlon their lHulNluudd supremacy
claims. Kaufman, too, wanted the
long route and when Barry found that
he could land the big boy for that dis
lance he lost no time in accepting the
situation. The side bet issue has been
overlooked or forgotten in the negotia-
tions and probably will not figure in
the articles. Each scrapper gets %
per cent of the gross receipts, with
guarantee of $4,000 each, regardless of
the result, and as the scrap will be one
of the greatest drawing cards staged
locally in several months the club I'M
doubtedly is safe in making the guar
antee.

BASKETBALL AT
HOLLYWOOD HIGH
Many Members of the Football Squad
Are Trying for Positions on the
Five In Time to Enter
League Games

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 17.-Basketball
is now the most popular sport at the
high school. Since the football season
has been closed, probably for good, a
great deal of new material has been
out and the old boys have had to
work strenuously for their positions.
Captain Taylor, the Hollywood foot
ball star, is now a regular player on
the five and has developed into an ex-
cellent guard. Both of the fast foot
ball ends, Hill and James, are out for
the team and are turning out in great
style. fuller, Spencer and several 9TH
ers of the speedy eleven are at prae-
tlce and Coach Webster and Captain
Potter believe there will be some
| changes In the lineup of the five.
Last Friday the team went to Santa
Monica and played the high school of
that town, defeating it by the score
OF 70 to 10. Hollywood showed up very
well and her team work was excellent.
/ tomorrow on the home court a return
game will be held.
Next Saturday the big County league
VIII open and many contests will be
| pulled off in several of the local
towns Manager Potter Of the league
| has been very busily occupied sendine
out SO dulles and making preparations
for the opening day. The contests ac-
cording to the schedule, will he nlaved
as follows next Saturday: whittier

Utah game last Saturday, and after
their two days vacation went through
their practice as II they had not been
in a game for q month. All the reg
ular players were In uniform. and with
Coach Hempel always lowering in the
background, went through their plays
with the same perfection that won their
game with the Aggies last Saturday.
The Occidental team has gone into
the hardest training of the season for
their last and biggest game of the
season, that with Pomona. The men
seem to have caught the spirit, and
with the changes of positions seem to
learn twice as rapidly as before. Their
victory over Los Angeles high school
has not put any overconf1dence in them
at all, for Pomona is a team that plays
good ball against Occidental in their
annual game, no matter what their
early season record may have been,
and Occidental realizes it, too. A full
second team will be out every night
this week, and scrimmages will be held
for an hour and a half every evening.
Landreth, who was hurt in last Satur-
days game with high school, most like
ly will be out in a suit during the
latter part of the week, but it is doubt
full whether he will be in condition to
play against Pomona Monday.

INDIAN ELEVEN
GREATEST EVER
REPORTS FROM TRAINING
CAMP ARE GOOD
Hempel Finds His Men Working Like
Pieces of a Great Machine, and All
Confident of Adding Laurels
to Their Season Record

Although little dope is forthcoming
from the training quarters Of the Sher-
man Indian football squad, it praetic-
ally is assured that Coach Warner will
arrive in Los Angeles Thanksgiving
day with the best Indian eleven that
ever has been turned out from the RiV-
erside school The team as a whole
will average less in weight than st.
Vincent, but this seeming handicap is
neutralized by the fact that the Indians
are reputed to be much faster. Coach
Hempel will prepare his team TO play
a defensive game at the start and at
all times be alert enough to break up
the open plays of the aborigines.
Southern California this year has
proven to be barren place for good
football referees, as there seems to be
only one first-class man in the local
territory and that is Coach Bill Traeger
i. of the University of Southern Califor-
: mia. 1t is to be greatly regretted that
the local football world will not have
the opportunity of seeing Traeger Off
Chatting at the Saints-Indians game on
Thanksgiving day, as this is the most
important game of the year and re-
quires anything but amateurish ref
erecting. Coach Hempers choice for
the position was Coach Traeger, while
Coach Warner of the Indians insisted
upon COACH Draper OF the y. ). g. law
school team. Undoubtedly Coach War
ner is unacquainted with the lack of
refereeing abilities displayed by Draper
in the only two games this season that
he has refereed. Draper, without ques-
ton, is a square fellow but this is off
set by the fact that he practically is
ignorant of the new rules. and in a
game as important as the Thanksgiv-
ing day contest 1t should be imperative
that everything be conducted with first
class order.
Another football game is scheduled
for Southern California next Saturday.
The contest will take place between the
Throop Polytechnic high school eleven
and the st. Vincent props, at 2:SO
o'clock Saturday afternoon on the Pas
adena field.
Manager and Coach Moores of the
Saints and Coach Larson of ThrooI
made the final arrangements for the
game Monday afternoon, and both vii
devote the remainder Of the week te
putting their men into the best posi-
BILE condition for the struggle.
From statistics the Throop men viii
slightly outweigh the locals. but Coach
Moores believes that this will be more
than evened up by the speed and cleV-
erness of his men, who have been N
constant scrimmages with the varsity
players and have developed into one Of
the fastest prep football machines in
the south.
