Pacific coast newspapers are having
some fun with eastern sport writer's
who are already penning the obituary
of California's football squad, which
meets Ohio State on New Years day
at Pasadena. The Los Angeles EX-
press has the following interesting ar
ticle:
Some queer stuff is being printed in
the east and middle west about the
chances of the California team against
Ohio State on New Years day. Some
of the boys around Chicago seem to
think that the coast never heard OF
the forward pass. Why, bless their
their benighted souls, the forward
pass was being used freely on this
coast for two years before the real
big teams of the east would take g
chance with it.
Fred A. Hayner, writing in the Chi
cago Daily News, says that Harvard
introduced Oregon to the forward
pass at Pasadena last New Years day
and found Oregon absolutely ignorant
of its use and how to defend against
it. Let's see. The score of that
game was Harvard 7, Oregon 6. That
does not look as if Harvard had Ore

OHIO COACH NOT
WORRYING OVER
NEW YEARS CAME
C3y Associated Press)

PASADENA, Cal, Dec. 18, - Dir.
John Wice, coach of the Ohio State
University football team, will be In
Pasadena for the second time this year
when he arrives next week with his
team which is to play the University
Of California eleven in the Tourna-
ment of Roses game here New Years
day. The Ohio coach attended the
last New Years day game here be-
tween the University Of Oregon and
Harvard university.
At the Oregon Harvard game DR..
Wilcc had an opportunity to observe
football as it is played in the far west.
i is said that he does not underrate
western football, but, at the same
time, is not worrying over the chances
of his team in the coming game
against California.
During the las tfour years Coach
Wilco's Ohio State eleven has been
defeated but once. This was last
year when the University Of Illinois
,natched victory from the Columbus
team in the last minute OF play.
Before going to Ohio State, Wilce
played fullback for Wisconsin UniVer-
sity for three years. Last spring he
taught football at the coaches school
at Columbia University and is consid-
cred a deep student of the American
game.

lire. The line and the backs work
together like clociwork. The open
ing of the holes is followed by the
quick rush and side-step by the fast
stepping backfield men.
e "Workman's forward passing will
be a revelation to the people of the
Pacific coast. 4 man who can throw
a football with uncanny accuracy half
the length Of the field is one to be
feared. StinchcCmb is by far the
the best man at the other end Of the
throw. So clever has Pete been that
Coach Wilce has been ae long time
coaching anyone to come anywhere
near his class as a receiver of passes,
"All in all, it is doubtful if Andy
Smith can develop defense for a
forward passing game. If he does,
it will be because he has exceptional
material.

PesNy Sprott and Charley Erb and

think? Or maybe he never heard of
these boys. He will read about them

Brick. for Instance
And if the Chicago man makes the
trip to Pasadena he may get keep
a rod-haired giant named Brick
Muller, who can hurl football as
fast and as far and as true as Work
man CT any man playing football in
the east, north or south. And he
may see this same Brick catching a
forward pass with one hand while
piv0ting on his left ear. Brick has
done that stunt and may do it again
at Pasadena.
! Ohio State is undoubtedly clever at
using the forward pass, ard defense
against it--that's piffle.

QUEER DELUSIONS IN EAST OVER

gon run ragged defending against for
ward passes.
The same writer points out that
Dartmouth absolutely bewildered
Washington with forward passes this
year. True enough. But Dartmouth
also bewildered Cornell, PennsylVan-
la and a lot Of other eastern teams
before coming out here. And here is
a good place to say that Washington
did not win q single game in the Pa
cific coast conference this year. Sc
pitting the tail-ender of the coast
conference against one of the out
standing eastern teams is not a fair
comparison.
Everything But Brains
The same Chicago writer says:
The far western material is athletic,
Of fine build and weight. Moreover,
it is willing to learn fast. But
the far western game is below the
eastern conception in passing. It is
nearly equal to it On defense, but not
quite. Ohio has a strong old-stylc
attack. 1t was strong enough to
shove Illinois back 10 yards from its
goal line. 1t was powerful enough
to score on Chicago from the 35-yard

NORABAYES TAKES ACTOR
FOR FOURTH HUSBAND
Weds Arthur Gordoni in Springfield,
ILL.,, and Tries to Keep 1t
Secret.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Feb. 25.-Ar-
thur Gordon and Leonora Goldberg
were married here yesterday. At
taches of the court were induced to
suppress the record by the representa-
tion that they were werking folk
who might lose their jobs II news Of
their marriage reached their employ
ers
At the Chattcrton Theater last
night II developed that Gordon Is
Gordoni, of the Ladies First" COM
pany, and that the bride is Nora
Bayes, comedienne, who heads the
cast.
This Is Nora Bayes fourth marriage.
She first was marriage in Chicago 10
c. A. Crossing. and obtained a dt-
vorce shortly after she had begun to
be success on the stage. Her sec.
ond marriage was to Jack Norworth,
also in vaudeville.
At that time Miss Bayes said slc
and her husband "were the happlost
couple on the stage" But this mar
r1age like the first, ended unhappily.
They were divorced in Chicago in
1913. and shortly afterward Miss
Bayes married Harry Clarke, who az
that time was her dancing partner.
Early In 1918 Miss Bayes and Clarke
separated and in April OF that wear
Miss Bayes was granted divorce.
