When the 1919 football season
started about the only person out
side the college who knew that
Centre college was going TO have a
football team was the man who
sold the squad its uniforms.
But right now Centre college Is
the center of interest in griddom.
This little institution of learning
is in Danville, Ky. 1t boasts of a
total enrolment of 225-or perhaps
250-rersons. Seventeen OF eigh-
teen OF these played football this
fall and piled up total Of 4S5
points. They played nine games
tackling the big ones and the little
ones, too. and in those nine games
scored an average Of IS points to
a which is pretty close to
Hurry Up Yost's ideal Of point a

One Of their men. Center Red
Weaver, did a little startling on the
side by kicking As consecutive field
goals. This alone is believed to be
worlds record in any branch OF
football.
Centre broke quietly into the
grid limelight early last fall with a
81 to 0 victory over Hanover. In

s. Davidson Heron.
By N. Z. BROWN.

Back in 1906 an S-year-old youth
who lived right across the road
from the Oakmont Country club,
Pittsburgh. started to spend con-
siderable of his time on the golf
links at that club learning the
game. Perhaps he had decided at
that time he would win the ma
tional amateur golf title some time,
but he didn't say much about it.
But that chap. S. Davidson Her.
ron, now holds that title. winning
it last summer against the best
field Of golfers brought together
since the war ended.
Heron is now only 20. He is a
husky bird. through, weighing 205
pounds. This weight helps him in
getting distance in his drives, one
Of the. outstanding features of his
play. He's a college man. Went
to Princeton. Graduated in 1918.
Played golf in college. too. being
a member Of the college team four
years. He broke into the national
tournament game in 1915 when he
tied Ned Sawyer in the prelimin-
airy qualifying round Of the title
tourney at Detroit.
Golf Is his only real hobby. He
tried football one year at Prince
ton. then passed 1t up.

MIKE GIBBONS COMING HERE TO

WITH THE FREAK W0P, CAPoNI
st. Paul Phantom Sends Word He
Will De On Hand Wednesday
With Tony's Opponent.

Mike Gibbons. one of the greatest
of modern glove artists. is coming
along with Sapho Mckenna to take
charge Of the youngster in his
scrap with Tony Caponi Thursday
night at the Empire rink.
Babe MeanOr, promoter. received
wire this morning from the st.
Paul phantom. stating that Nc
Kenna and he would arrive in Rock
Island Wednesday morning. He
will put Saph0 through his finish
ing stunts and probably do some
sparring for the benefit OF those
who gather to watch him.
Tony Caponi has been putting in
some strenuous ticks for this
battle. Always serious in his work.
he has been even more so in prep
aration for McKenna. 1t would be
severe set back il McKenna
should happen to lay Kim away.
and Tony is always preparing to
forestall eventualities.
However. the outcome Of the af-
fair does not seem to worry him In
the least. He is always supreme
lys confident youth, knows that he
is a hard one for any fighter to
reach, and so travels along in good
style.
Tony's workouts with Buck Tim
othy each day have been watched
with interest by the bugs. More
speed and hitting power seem to
have been acquired by the wop
since his last appearance before a
home audience and they are all adj
Knitting this.
Has Lots Of Friends.
Mckenna has lot Of friends up
around the twin-cities. He has
made an enviable reputation in
those parts and lis now coming
along at fast clip that BODIES no
good for Tony, II the latter should
make a little slip. The fact that
Sapho is being nursed along by the
redoubtable Mike Gibbons is EVIL
dence enough to indicate that he Is
considered among the classy con-
tenders for the bantam crown.
Promoter Meanor reports good
advance sale Of tickets for the
bouts. Since Caponi checked Mike
Dundee at Waterloo the fans have
been clamoring for his appearance
at home. II he succeeds i'll gaining
a clean cut decision over McKenna
it is more than likely that Dundee
will return to home environs for q
second clash with the freak.

betook himself to the skating pond
at Thirtieth street and Fifteenth

Water was having a great time
until we'll along in the afternoon.
He was cutting all kinds of capers
and darting in and out among the
mass of skaters with wonderful ia
cility.

to. rather once too often. He got
mixed up In a mass of humanity
and it was 80 minutes before he
came around again. Then he
didn't know what had happened.
Today he is rather indisposed.
That is he looks like he tried to
stop a couple of automobiles, trains
and what nots. 1t wouldn't be SO
bad, though, if it wasn't for the
discolored optic, he says.

BUSINESS NEVER MORE ACTIVE.

The Irving National Bank of New
York declares that business conditions
in this country were never better and
in confederation Of its assertion says
that 'one billion dollars worth of prop
erty Is being destroyed within few
months without causing more than a
ripple upon the f;Hane!s! ans INDUS
trial gurface Of this country"
The reference is to the prohibition
enactment and the consequent losses
of the liquor interests. When it is
considered that the arbitrary cessa-
ton of the brewing and distilling bust
nesses took place without more than
a RIPPLE in finance and business the
confederation seems evident. How
ever, the prohibitory enactment did not
confiscate or destroy the entire prop
erty Of the brewers. The buildings
and much Of the machinery turned to
manufacture Of soft drinks or wers

Charley Rawson is soon To return to
Des Moines and start active personal
work on his campaign for the COVER
norship nomination. II is suggested
from Dies Moines that he win probably
resign the state republican chairman
ship. II is further suggested that n
Polk county man will be selected to
fill his place as chairman.
OF course Mr.. Rawson will resign.
He could scarcely conduct a personal
candidacy for governor and act as
state chairman Of the party while urg-
ing his own personal interests. But 1t
does not follow that by reason Of his
resignation another Polk county man
must be placed in command. Doubt
less there are others in other counties
that may aspire to the honor. And it
may be that some OF them are resi-
dents Of counties that have no candi-
date for The governorshIp.
The coming contest is likely TO be
warm and hard fought So far as pos
sible It should be a fair field and no
favor. II is an excellent list Of entries
and may attract others. They should
be started without any jockeying and
trot a fair heat thruout The chances
are that when they go to the barn the
convention will decide the winner any
way.
