PROMISING BASKETBALL
OUTLOOK AT CLAREM0NT
All of Last Seasons Team Are Back
New Material for Second Team
Shows Up Well

CLAREMONT, Dec. with the
schedule for the varsity football games
closed, the Pomona athletes are now
centering their activities on basketball
This years team should be especially
fast, as all of last years quintet, which
was the only team that downed the
victorious Whittier five, are back.
Shut and Neuls, together with Rich
ards, will be in the forward position.
Neuls is especially good at throwing
goal on free foul throws, while Shut
uses the same head work in basket
bail which gave him a place on the
All-Southern football team. At center
Kepner, who also made the All-South-
ern football team, viii be out again.
At guards will be Captain Nisbit, who
IS good at throwing goals from the
field, and LOrbeer, who made the team
in his freshman year.
The material for a second team is
good, the entire prep team which won
the prep championship of Southern
California being the freshman class. At
center there viii be Miller, at forward
Barnes and HOlley, and at guard Bob
SpurgeOn. OF the new men, Fischer,
who won the cross country run last
Saturday, is showing up we'll at for
ward, while Clark is doing we'll at
center. Newlands and Durrell are two
more freshmen who handle the bah
well, while kinsey plays a hard, ag-
gressive game.
The class games will begin next
week and the championship viii prob
ably go to the sophomores, as the
freshmen will keep out of athletics un-
til after February I.

A IRIS never could win at Santa Anita

yesterday.
One best bet-Frankie Conley to beat
Kid Cleveland.
It's a good deal like breaking into
polite society to get down pet a'
Emeryville these days. First you m
troduce yourself to the head bookie.
Then. if your credentials are all rlght
and thew don't think you could pick
a winner in a tWO-hOrse race, you pe-
come acquainted with bookmaker
who proceeds to pry some OF your
mazuma away from you. Not less
than $50 is thought of. Then you pet
as much or as little as you please
during the day with your own private
bookie. Of course, if Boggs is 10 TO
ON any of the other states, your banker
is privileged to allow you as much
ae 3 or A for your money. When the
DAYS sport-please spell this last Wofo
with a capital "S"-is over, you get
no money, as it is against the law TO
flash as much as a nickel within the
grounds. Simply follow your book
maker to the boat, which may easily
be done if he is kind enough to mark
his trail with bits of paper or simply
by whistling a tune previously agreed
upon. Do not for minute attempt
to recognize him until safely away
from the track Look him up at his
hotel or on the boat, and receive what
is left of your $50, if you are for
tunate enough to have any left, and
peruse the dope for the following
afternoon.
That six-day bicycle race at Madi-
son Square garden should prove about
as exciting as good old-fashioned drop

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5.-Improve-
ments are being made at Ingleside race
track, and there are we'll defined re-
ports that racing will be resumed there
after December 81, when MayOr-elect
Mccarthy is inaugurated.
Iugleside is located inside the city
limits, and horsemen are jubilant over
the report of a revival where fashion
flocked during the days of the turf war
between Williams forces and those
headed by Prince POniatowski at Tan
foran.
Mayor-elect Mccarthy announced
several times in campaign speeches
that San Francisco ought to be made
the Paris of America" Sportsmen have
coupled this and publicly expressed
ideas OF IAN open town." with improve
ments going on at Ingleside to mean
that the new mayor believes that the
police under his administration will be
better able to cope with so-called evils
of race track gambling inside than
outside the city limits.

OUTLOOK NOW ROSY
FOR MONROVIA HIGH
First Basketball Game of Schedule
Lost, but Players Still Are Conf
dent-Several Contests
Arranged

MONROVIA, Dec. 5.-Although de-
feated in the first game of the Subur-
ban league basketball schedule, the
MonroVia high school team has hopes
of making a strong finish. After hav-
ing won nearly every game in the early
part Of the season the MonroVia quin-
tet was brought into camp by the
Azusa boys Saturday. The Azusa team
was decisively beaten by the foothill
quintet earlier in the season, but a
long rest combined with some base
ball practice put the Monrovia team
out of condition. Next Saturday Mon
rovia will play FL Monte in what
promises to be one Of the best games
of the five contest schedule The FL
Monte school has an especially strong
team this year, and should MonroVia
win the high school quintet will still
stand an excellent chance Of winning
the championship. Shepard, Boyd and
Crandall played especially strong
games in Saturdays contest, while the
work of Whitcomb, Baker and Avery
also was commendable
Arrangements have been completed
for a baseball game TO be played with
the MOnrOVia Athletic clubs team on
Christmas day. The usual vaudeville
stunts. which in former years have
featured this occasion, will be dis
pensed with. Two games, one basket
ball and one baseball, also will be
played by the high school teams with
all star teams composed of MonroVla
alumni now attending Berkeley and
Stanford universities.
With much good material at hand
for a successful baseball team more
time will be devoted to the national
game than previously has been the
case. while the track prospects con-
seauently must suffer. With the COM
pletion Of the basketball schedule,
about the first of the year, baseball
practice will be begun and it is believed
that an exceptionally strong team will
be put in the field.

.PICATO TRAINING
FOR COMING MEET
Local Fighter Fast Getting Down to
Weight for Fight with VOL
gast-WoIeast Returns
Tomorrow

Frank Picato put in a busy day yes
terGay in spite of the rain, using the
East Side Athletic club gym Tor ms
work He boxed four rounds with
Harry Roman, three with Charlie nc
alto. two with Kid Snyder and two
with Charlie Mink. Picato is much
under the weight at which he pesah
training last week and does not an
ticipate any trouble in getting down
to the lightweight limit when he hooks
up with Ad Wolgast at McCarey's pa
villon for what will be one of the most
important fights of Picato's career.
Roy Page is looking after the inter-
ests of Picato and will see that every
thing is done to bring the local lad
into the ring in the best shape pos
sible.
Wolgast and Jones are rusticating
for a few days in the northern country
and will return tomorrow to get into
active training for the contest, VOL
CAST is to meet Picato at 133 at B.
which will be the last time, according
to Jones, that the Milwaukee lad will
take on lightweight except at ring
side weight.
Kid Cleveland and frankie Conley
began training yesterday for their ten
round go, which will be the semi
windup for the Wolgast-Picato con-
test. The hackers of the lads have
agreed to put up $1,000 each, which will
go as a side bet, this noon at the Of
flee of the Pacific Athletic club, the
money to go on a knockout, and each
of the lads will train with the express
idea in view of flooring his opponent
for the count when they meet next
week. If Conley wins decisively, Dan
ny Webster has agreed to meet him
for the bantam title at McCarey's,
provided he is successful against Monte
Attell, whom he meets in Frisco this
month
