the special Thanksgiving day show
held at the National 4. A. yesterday
afternoon. Tender, weighing 1873
pounds. clearly demonstrated his su-
periority over Tillman, who scaled at

any grave danger of going down for

helped him to appreciate his Thanks

When il Is said that Tillman did not
appear to be in any grave danger of
going down, it is not meant that. he
was not hurt! He was hurt on several
occasions, but when the punches
started coming the thickest he was
quick to check the relentlessly hitting
Tender by clinching. Tillman was
hurt and hurt badly. He took many
a punch to the mid section that would
have floored a less sturdy man.
1t was not until the latter rounds
that Tender began to get in his
choicest wallops. From the fourth

that Tillman's body became the storm
center. These periodical attacks did
not last long enough to disable Till

Western Golf
Association
May Rule East
Republican a: p. Leased WIre1

CHICAGO, Dec. 1--Invasion of the
east by the Western Golf association
as part OF a plan to bring all the golf
clubs of the country under the same
set OF rules, is proposed in amend
ments to the ". c.. AS constitution
and by laws submitted by mail to the
directors today.
The changes. to be voted on at the
annual meeting on Jan. Is, involve
adoption of a new name, the American
Golf association, which would "act as
the authoritative administrative body
for making and enforcing the rules for
fhe playing of golf in the United
States" There have been rumors OF
a golf war between the W. G. A. and
the United States Golf association, the
controlling body in the east, for sew
erai years, but the outbreak of the
war in Europe prevented an open
break
One of the chief purposes of the
new golf organization, II approved,
would be to revise those rules which,
it is said, originally were intended for
Scotch and British courses and are
not practical for American courses.

Miss Deane is one of the most YER
satile girls on the American stage and
holds more individual athletic records
in all lines of sport than any girl in
the country today.
Miss Deane first saw the light of
day in Denver, and when the family
gathered for the christening the new
babe was given the name of Roberta
Alice. in honor Of her grandad, Robert
Deane, who owns a slice of real estate
on Colfax avenue. and his wife Alice.
When the little Miss started to school
she dropped the Alice and went smil

Deane, but a few years at school con-
WINGED Roberta's playmates she had
too much pep for Roberta and they
gave her the name of Bobbie
Now Bobbie wasn't q "tomboy." but
she did like boys sports and she had
considerable nerve. When she was
seven years of age she took the part
Of Little Eva in a dramatic show. and
was never overlooked in a home talent
show from that time until she broke
into the ranks OF the professional.

During her grammar school life
Bobbie took part in every athletic
meet held by the school winning sew
eraI medals in racing and jumping and
basketball. Her most notable victory
in foot racing was the 100-yard dash
in which IA schools were represented
and all boys except Little Bobbie.
She never failed to walk off with the
honors in all the girl athletic events
At one time she aspired to be a base
ball star and joined a girls team with
the expectations of touring Colorado
She played in one big game on the
Denver sandlots and the only hit she
made was foul tip that left her with
a black eye. Red" Toner, Colorado
baseball product, who later starred in
the Coast league. was delivering the

for the black eye. Needless to say
she lost her baseball ambitions.

Football is football the country over.

Fans arc prone to think that the

others" he says.
That is an erroneous opinion.
Football IS football the country over.
My experience in coaching has taught
me that just as good football is being
played on the Pacific coast as on the
Atlantic seaboard.
Generally speaking, there is no diff
ference between the class of football
put on display by the strong teams
OF the Western, Pacific and Southern
conferences.
Not Sectional
Football is no more a sectional
skMe than baseball. Big schools get
the cream OF the playing stars, owing
TO financial assistance from alumni
associations. But as far as football
