ARIZONA UNIVERSITY ELEVEN ,. HAS CHANCE TO WIN NATIONAL
 FAME IN CLASH WITH CENTRE

game has grown to real concrete fact and Arizona stands today ready to show the world that football IS no accomplishment denied the ln- habitants of this desert land.
 The 1921 Wildcats are without doubt a great aggregation of foot ball players. The glory and glamour of nationwide fame has not as yet heen spread over them but that chance is offered and it isn't impos- sible that it will be the result Of the game. Centre is recognized all over the country as a wonder team, as one of the most powerful elevens ever gathered together, and as a team composed of many individual stars. The reason for this is simple and Il is not only because it it a great team. but because it has been given the opportunity to show it's greatness and to edge it's way into the select loot- ball circles of the east.
 Perhaps the Wildcats are greater team than Centre. The game in San Diego will tell, but the fact remains that no matter how great 1t is. 1t could never gain the reputation pos sessed by Centre and other eastern colleges by any other means than the one the team now faces. A place in the sun is offered Arizona and we be- lieve sincerely that the team built by Coach McKale is strong enough to reach the place set aside for the football greats.
 Football greatness is not decided by geographic boundary lines nor is
Arizona republican., 1921-12-20

football ability denied players in aG> one part of the country because Of their location, but recognition is sometimes denied great teams simply because they are off the beaten trail. Such was the position of the Arizona eleven prioI. to the signing of the contract for the game against Centre. But the greatness of Arizona was brought to the attention of the au- thorities by various and sundry means and as result, Arizona has stepped out of the football wilder ness to at least foothold on the beaten path.
 No one has ever denied the great
 ness of this years Wildcat eleven, not even authorities in Los Angeles. who have been kind enough to admit that Arizona must be good to defeat Whittier, but this greateess was Ur- known to many. The San Diego game will serve to lift that veil of ignor- ance in many parts of the country for victory that will make Arizona the greatest football machine in the United States-and such a victory is not impossible. The southwest knows that Arizona has a great team and the chance is now offered to spread this knowledge to other parts of the country.
 If hard work will bring home a victory to the Wildcats, then a vic tory is certain, for the squad is hit ting the high spots daily in prepara- ton for the game. The team is al- ready rounding into splendid physical condition and with the several new plans of attack and defense perfect ed will soon be ready for the game. 1 It was announced Sunday night by i Gre uate Manager Barnes that the l tes [ will leave Tucson on the night 1 of December 2S. and that a stop-over will be made in Los Angeles on Sat- urday where the eleven will work al
 Bovard Field before continuing the
 trip to San Diego. The team will leave Saturday night for San Diego
 and arrive there in time to secure plenty of rest before the time sci for the game.
 l It was announced also that thu men who will make the trip on tho squad are Coaches McKale anc l Pierce, Assistant Coach Cusicll, Man
 aser Barnes, Trainer Kearns- La
 Shelle. Captain Wofford, Mcclellan Etz, Clark. Wylie, Clymer, Smith Barkley, Slonaker, Hobbs, Mango

 The battle royal lasted seven and one half minutes without rest peri ods. Langford's showing was worth honorable mention despite the fact that he was forced to quit for lack of breeze.
 Douglas Beats landers
 Jim Douglas beat Frankie Landers in the four-round curtain raiser Douglas gave Landers a bad trim ming And all but stopped Frankie in the second round. Landers made good recovery in the last round and got away with the session, but Dous las had the three first rounds and enough lead to win the verdict
 Landers was-a little light for Doug las, but he was clever and could take hard punch.
 Every bout including the battle royal was action all the time. The Coliseum was well filled and the fans enjoyed the evening. The dissatis- faction over a couple of decisions was offset by the speed Dixon put in the | bouts. Tommy was working faster than the fighters in every round and he should be given credit for making a showing.
 Young Hockbone and Young Mike will top the card next Monday night.

Phoenix Asked To Help Equip U. of A.
 Team for Big Game

Inasmuch as Arizona Is securing more than a quarter of million dol lars worth of adertising from the U. of A.-Centre football game at San Diego on Dec. .26 an effort is being made throughout the state to pur- chase new uniforms for the Wildcats to enable them to look their best when they take the field against the eastern champions in the big inter- sectional contest
 Nine hundred dollars is needed to outfit the state varsity and Phoenix is asked to contribute it's share. c. F. Willis, R. w. Moore and c. r. Lescher, of the Arizona alumni. have been selected as the local fund-rais- ing committee. Public spirited citi- zens are requested to send their con tributions to Mir. Lescher at Room 16, Central building.
 Already the campaign iSs meeting with liberal response in the northern part of the state, in the southern towns and over in the Globe Miami district, where former students are calling upon citizens who have the interest of the team and of the state at heart to assist In buying the gridi- ron warriors new suits.
 In view of the fact that every newspaper in every city and town in the United States is commenting on the approaching contest Arizona is being given many columns of favor able publicity that could not be ob- tained in any other manner. And too, the game is still several days off while sports editors continue to write about it. Much will depend on their appearnce when they take the field at San Diego.
 Wallace Button, manager of the Berryhill company, stated last eve ming that his company would starr l the ball rolling with s36.25, whicl ! will purchase a complete outfit fol | one of the Salt River valley players 1 'The participation of the Univer- t, sity of Arizona, champions of thu 1 Southwest, paying Centre, the cham l pions of the East, is a great mark il | the history of athletics in the South

SCOTTY DEFEATS
 RED GARDNER IN
 FAST MAIN BOUT IF CLASSY CARD
BY ED HARRINGTON

Ancient history tells us empires rose and fell on the showing of gladiators in the arenas of old. but no gladiator ever displayed a gameness and ability to come back that could equal the showing of Red Gardner in the six-round main event at the Coli scum last night.
 Battling Scotty beat Red and won the decision. and was entitled to the verdict, but he had to fight every sec ond while he was in the ring and even three knockdowns failed to stop the auburn haired lad from San Diego.
 The fan who left the Coliseum last night feeling that he did not receive his moneys worth will never get full value for his pasteboards. Every bout was a fight. and every fighter went the distance. Referee Tommy Dixon rendered a couple of decisions that might not be according to Hoyle, but he kept the battlers moving and made every round a winner.
 Battling Scotty engaged Gardner two times in the first round with his wicked right and Red weathered through by sheer grit. Scotty had much to spare in number one. but number two went to Red by as wide u UldTSlu as SCOlly lOOh .lilS A4ESA 1 Hard lefts to the stomach almost stopped Scotty and gave Red some hope Red came out in the third and took the round by hard fighting. He | kept Scotty on the defensive, swelled | Scotty's left eye and split his lip 1 Scotty was plainly in distress at the l bell.
 | In the fourth Scotty walked to tho center of the ring and planted Jeff hook flush on Reds jaw. Red was going down, but Q right cross hurried him along and he took the count o eight before coming back ReC fought when he regained his feet | hut tke advantage was too big t' overcome.

Minor leagues of the higher classi- fication have refused to place them selves under the draft
 It was hoped that such action would be taken at the Buffalo meet ing. Many major league nagnates attended the session and urged such action.
 Regardless of the good intentions of the major league club owners, they spoiled them, when they pro- ceeded to pay all kinds of fancy sums for untried players.
 If minor league club can get from s10.000 to s75,000 for it's best players, why should such clubs enter into an agreement with the majors, that would limit such possibilities to $10,000 at the most?
 It is hardly probable that the ma jors would be willing to agree on a

In the past he has proven equal to every occasion and this year has without doubt been his best year although he has been out of the game much of the time with injuries.

ing and the fans were with him. They were stiIl fighting at the bell.
 Dixon gave the fight to Scotty and the decision was popular. with Red bringing down the cheers, even in defeat.
 RUSSELL NOT WITH MIKE
 Eddie Russell needs a few more fights before he moves in the same ring with Young Mike. He was given a draw with Young Rivers and Referee Dixon seemed off in his yer diet.
 Russell was poor judge of dis tance and he persisted in working into a clinch. He had plenty on Rivers when it came to infighting. but he couldn't stand up and take 'em with the local boy. A few more fights will bring back the old gauge and Russell may prove equal to the task, but for the present he will do well to keep away from Mike.
 Rivers shows improvement in each succeeding fight.
 Arnold Too Fast for Romo
 Young Romo substituted for Joe Selgado in the four rounder with Young Arnold and picked too much boy. Arnold took four rounds. but due to the fact that he was subbing Referee Dixon probably gave him a little handicap. Arnold swings too fast and too hard for Romo.
 Joe Grimm Is Game
 Joe Grimm made a good start last night, but he lacks the experience to beat tough boy like Olea, and fin ished on the defensive. He earned a draw with the Rough-house one and Referee Dixon gave him his share Joe swings a wicked right, but is slow on protecting himself. Olea's back hand wallops were always land- ing and had Joe in a bad way g couple of times. Grimm was game and tough. He proved last night that he can take 'em and smile, and g ! few more fights will show class fol another home town boxer. Olea took the last round; one ana | three were even and Joe took th' second session. It was a good scraI ! for four rounds without an idle mo ! ment.

price greater than s1o.060. Possibly s7,500 would have been more to the liking of the majors.
 After advocating such plan, the paying of fabulous sums spoiled any good work that might have been done along these lines. A minor leag que magnate who would agree to a plan that would cut down his profits cer- tainly would be lacking in judgment
 The majors, that is most of them, have plan to cut down the possi- bilities of the minors. Clubs not as prosperous as the New York Giants, are unit for fixing a sum that the majors shall be permitted to pay to the bigger minors.
 Such a ruling would place the majors in a combine as to the price, rather than have the minors agree to it, as would be the case under the draft plan.-B. F.

Publicity of the proper sort is al ways helpful.
 But it is my belief that baseball suffers greatly as a result of the pub licity that is given every sale which involves big sum of money.
 
 Since such a transaction is news the papers always carry it. often giv- ing it a big spread on the sport page.
 Naturally it makes interesting reading, but there is always a reac ton to such publicity. It keeps base ball on the sport pages, but really at a cost that is prohibitive. It would be a wiser investment to spend some of the money simply for keep the game before the public actuated the giving out of the sale price.
 Stories of the great profits made 1 in baseball were the cause of the for nation of the Federal league. Men with money read the stories of the 1 fabulous earnings. and easily fell for the wiles of some promoter. | l The Federal league cost the major league magnates at last a million l dollars. Likewise it created a spirit of unrest among the players, who ] believed they should get a cut of the earnings.
 The Federal league was born of the stories given out about the great profits in baseball. I will wager that the stories about New York paying S125,000 for Groh, a 34-year- old vet eran, and $75,0O0 for an untriet youngster. are making a lot of mon eyed men wonder if baseball isn't tho way to get rich quick.
 It is probably all right to pay sucf prices if a club can afford it. but il would be much wiser if the price were kept secret.
 In the major leagues. the ball play CTS have the world series to shoot at It Is the ambition of every player to be on a team that wins a majol league pennant which gives the right to perform in the big series.
 There has always been much dis satisfaction with the selection of al All-America team by one expert. 4 year ago it was suggested that { group of the leading sporting writers who specialize in football, be agreeC on to make the selection. For soma reason this idea fell trough.
 The practice of having team SC lected from the views of a numbe of coaches is not entirely new; how ever the Football World. publica ton devoted entirely to eXploitini the gridiron game. comes to bat witt the idea on a much larger scale.
 The Football World gathered tn
 opinions of 267 coaches on the sub
 ject of an All-America team. Her } is the team formed from the view l expressed by the leading coaches Q ] the country.

HIS BEST ExTiNeuIsHER

Mr. Budger and his wife were con- tinually at variance regarding their individual capabilities of making and keeping a good fire. He contended that she did not know how to make fire, or how to keep one after it was made. She. on the other hand, main tained that he never meddled with the fire that he didn't put it out-in short, that he was regular fire damper, and as he was always anxi- ous to stir up things in the various fireplaces, she made it a practice of hiding the poker just before it was time for him to come into the house One night there was an alarm of fire in the village, and Budger flew for his hat and coat.
 Where are you going?" asked the wife.
 Why, there's a fire, and I'm going to help put it out"
