plays occasionally. His main
hobby Is driving and he ix pres

he was entertaining n guest, who
asked, pointing to a beautiful

"What is that cup forfs

Best Football Team I'm 20 Years.

The 2s-to-0 victory of the Uni
versity Nof California football team
over Ohio State at Pasadena New
Year Day shows pretty well Just
where the Far West stands in foot
ball: Ohio had an unbeaten team,
ranking high in the East and the
near East.
California outclassed il completely
in every department except punt
ing. Fast as Stinchcomb was. he
never got away. There was al
ways a faster Californian crowd
ing him before he could go clear.
At forward passing California had
any team l ever saw beaten. And
there was such a variety of hid
den plays that time and again the
bewildered Ohio boys looked as II
they didn't know which way to turn
next
OF all the teams I saw in the East
last fall, Princeton was the only
one that compared with the Cali
fornia bunch, which 1 regard as the
equal OF any college team I've seen,
East or West, in twenty years. And
I'm not at all sure but that the
Bears could have Cleaned up" the
Tigers almost as easily as they
slaughtered Ohio State.
About a year ago Harvard pulled
out a close victory over Oregon
by knocking out Bill Stears, Ore
CONS star player, in the first quar-
ter, putting him completely out of
the game until the middle Of the
last quarter. The loss of Stears
crippled Oregon enough to decide
the game. But this California bunch
was made up of eleven Bill Stears,
with as many more Bill Stears subs
waiting on the side lines Nobody
can cripple a team so perfectly bal
anced that II hasn't single out
standing star, and pulls off a ma
chine-perfect bit of football every
time the ball is put in play.
Ohio didn't try. Both Ohio and
California played clean, hard foot
ball. 1t was funny to see Califor-
mia men solicitously helping fallen
Ohioans to their feet and heading
them for their own line. Remind
ed me of Benny Leonard's efforts
to help Freddy Welsh up from two
or three knockdowns the night Ben
ny won the championship.
what were you so anxious to
get him up again for. Benny"

Why" said Benny, II knew he

the less time he had to rest"

Something to shoot At.

While in the act of looking for
ward to the big year that awaits
sports, IT might be just as well 10
reconsider that phrase, record
breaking" which has been so often
applied.
Record breaking, from the view
point Of general interest. possibly
but hardly so from the standpoint
of breaking records.
Here are a few targets. world
record targets, that ambitious ath-
letes can aim at:
100-yard dash-9 3-5 SEED. J.
Kelly. Spokane, Wash. Oh. P.
Drew. 1906.
One-mile rum min. IL 3-5 sec
Norman Taber, Cambridge, 1915.
High jump-6 #. Z 5-16 in.-E.
Beeson, Berkeley, 1914.
Broad jump-24 IT 11% in.-Pat
O'Connor, Ireland, 1901.
Shot put-51 ft-Ralph Rose. San
Francisco, 1909.
Hammer-throw-1 #. 81 in
P. Ryan, New York, 1918.
Quite n Layout.
These few, among others, form
quite a layout for any ambitious
record hunters who may leap gayly
to the assault.
Pat O'Connor's broad jump has
stood the test longer than any
other.
Pat must have had some kanga-
roo blood in his veins, for he
cleared more ground in that flying
jump twenty years ago than any
one has ever cleared since.
A record that has lasted twenty
years in the face of much subse-
quent competition is nothing short
of phenomenal.
II Pat could have remained in
the air a half-breath longer he
would have reached the 25-foot
mark. a mark no jumper has ever
attained. Only one or two have
ever passed "a feet; % feet inches
was quite good enough to win the
Olympic jump last year.
Flying Feet.
Dan Kelly, Howard Drew and
Norman Taber have also given the
elect something to think over.
Kelly put away his 9 3-5 dash for
the 100 yards fifteen years ago.
Drew tied his mark eight years la
ter, but the human greyhound who
can peel of 100 yards in 2-5 Sec
onds hasn't yet appeared.
1t may be that some day some
sprinter will be fast enough to send
his feet 100 yards in 9 seconds fiat,
but that day will be more than a
month or two away.
Taber's record, a great one,
might be broken. A mile run in 4
minutes 10 seconds is not beyond
all possibility.
Only a combination of stamina
and speed in unusual quantities will
produce any such turn, but it is
closer to probability than Pat o'Con-
nor's daring leap.
The High Jump Record.
Reaching feet inches for the
high jump has SO far baffled the
best talent in the game.
George HORNE lifted his frame 6
feet z inches a good many years ago.
and this stood until Beeson added
5-16 of an inch. Both records were
made in the lighter California air.
A high jump that passes feet Z
inches is going after altitude. Six
feet AZ inches was enough to finish
first in the last Olympic test, and
that cracked an Olympic record.
Weight Marks.
Some day some one may come
who can toss 16-pound shot
further than Ralph Rose pegged
the iron ball eleven years ago.
But we doubt it for some time to
come. Fifty-one feet is a long. long
journey for a. 16-pound hunk to
take, with a human being acting as
the propeller Rose, in build. was
