PAPPAS AND G0TCH MEET
 IN A FINISHED MATCH AT ARCADIA HALL TONIGHT
Claimant of American Title and Holder of Western Championship Will Decide Issue of Long Standing-Winner to Meet Jordan Here Feb 20

into the limelight by reason of his ster- ling performances in the far western states
 Practically over night, Young Gotch jumped from the ranks Of a mediocre performer to one Of the stars of the graphing game. This rapid rise was occasioned by his wonderful exhibi- tion against Charley Miller, the Cali fornia sensation, whu had just pre- viously defeated Mike Yokel, the Salt Lake demon.
 Gotch Has Wide Following
 Up until few days ago. Pappas was q big favorite with the fans, but Gotchs fine showing in training has won him hundreds of friends in this city-friends who believe that he will emerge victorious in tonights engage nent.e
 Gotch himself fully believes that he will gain the verdict. He is so con fident of it, in fact, that he has agreed 10 walk out of Phoenix if he doesn't succeed in defeating his larger and more experienced opponent
 Pappas doesn't seem to be worrying about the ultimate outcome. however, and is displaying his customary con- fident air. Hes a good, tough young ster and will be heard from one of these days. but he's got a lot to learn" is the way Pappas puts it.
 tuS Is alreaQy counting on the JOI dan match. For months, he has been endeayoring to get into the same ring with the worlds title holder. While he realizes that Jordan is one of the cleverest middleweights that ever trod a padded mat. he believes that the champions age is somewhat against him. He has began to slip, in other words, and in the opinion of Pappas it is only a question of time before he must surrender his title, and Pappas wants his chance before the onrush of candidates arrive. It's a little bit of strategy on the part of Pappas, but he's anxious to take the chance. realiz- ing that it is the opportunity of a life time.
 Considerable i'll feeling also exists between the principals in tonight's bout and for this reason, fans can expect a match par excellence.
 Pappas in Fine Shape
 Pappas reached Phoenix yesterday morning. looking fit for the match of his life -He is at least 10 pounds lighter than on his previous visit, having i taken off that much fat in his trainin s i program, he says.

two winners would meet for the cham pionship New Years day.
 This plan may not be favored by the western conference, for there is a rule against post-season games among the schools of the midwest which belong to this association. But the south and the east would very likely agree to such a proposition. And per haps a strong mid-western team, such as Notre Dame proved to be this year. would V, lunteer to represent the mid dle west Center college might have a claim to the mid-western title at the end of next season, for Center will play strong teams of the south, east

A football enthusiast on the coast IS working on a plan which would deter mine the football champions of 1920. It is 8 plan which is very likely to meet favor with a least three-fourths of the colleges and with the entire sport world besides.
 This man, who requests his name be not used at the present time, would bring the champion teams Of east, middlewest and south to the coast next winter and together with the Pacific coast champions stage a tournament. Two games would be played Christmas day among the four teams and the

and west all it's geographical location is as near being west as south.
 One of the leading coaches of the country has favored the proposition. That man is Ken Scott, who taught the Alabama warriors enough football to trample over the best the south could produce. He has a strong team returning next fall and he is very much interested. Harvard no doubt would favor the plan in event the Johnnies won the eastern title. Harvard has a harder schedule next year and if un- defeated probably could lay claim to being the best team in the east.
 And sentiment might be changed in the western conference to permit amending the rule prohibiting post season games
 Tho sport fans certainly would like to see the title bestowed on some team. None has ever had a clean claim to being the best in the business.
