OPEN STYLE OF
PLAY BY CANTON
Fast Work Anticipated When Bull.
dogs Clash With Staleys
at Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. S.-Canton's Bull,
dogs are expected to use a running.
open style of play against the Sta
legs at the Cub park Sunday after
noon. They bring an eleven well
suited to this style of attack, al
though If the field is heavy thew
have a smashing halfback in Tony
Grlggs of Texas university and
Fullback Falcon of Wabash and the
Chicago Tigers.
Pie Way, the Penn State ALI
American halfback, is somewhat the
same type of dashing runner that
Pete Stinchcomb of the Staleys is.
He is unusually fast, and is apt to
leave his interference any moment.
The Canton line is considered the
fastest and strongest that has met
the Staleys this season, being com
poed exclusively of big, experienced
men. Pete Henry and High West
are both All-American tackles and
the ends are noted in eastern foot
ball history. Bob Higgins. at the
right wing. was Camps first seIec-
ton in 1919, and Bird Carroll is
the greatest wingman who ever
wore the colors of Washington and
Jefferson.
That Canton expects a gruelling
game Is noted in the capable array
or subs they will bring along. They
include Fullback Smith of Centre
Hanback, Morrow of Pitt. End Reed
Steele of Harvard. Guard Kellison
or West Virginia, Fullback SIack-
FORD OF Notre Dame, Quarterbark
Rooo OF Columbia and Marvin
Smith of Purdue.
The Staleys also have good utiI-
lty strength. Pete Stinchcomb and
Chick Harley. Ohio's alI-American
nalfbacks, alternate at left half.
and Lanum OF Illinois with Sterna-
man at right. Bolan OF Purdue is
a fine fullback. and Usher, Syracuse
lineman; Minton and
Ecklund can take care of trouble in
he line.
Tickets for Sundays game go ON
sale today at Wilson's on Wabash
venue and Monroe street.

Whenever my manager says the
word"
When do you suppose that will
be?''
Its hard to say. You know
these managers cut in on the
money a champion makes, 50 I
hardly think Mr.. Tennes will sched-
ule one for next week
Schaefer is all seriousness when
he plays. He is oblivious to the
fact that any one is watching him
perform.
When he misses a shot, whether
hard or easy, his countenance takes
on an expression of disgust. That is
the only show of displeasure He
doesn't punctuate his feelings with
any remarks.
SChaefer never looks at the
crowd. He constantly watches the
balls and his opponent. He is all
concentration. When he misses he
quietly walks to his chair and sits
down.
If Schaefer is ever fused over
the work of his opponent, or peeved
at himself, there is never an out
ward expression of such feeling.
In one of the exhibition matches
I saw him play with Cont, about
the only thing he said during the
entire game was: Roger, the balls
seem rather bunny this after
noon
This after he had missed three
straight shots.

Moline Football Team Anxious 10

Next Sunday.

The Moline Indian football team.
although defeated by Waterloo, pro-
fessional champions of Iowa. 10
tc 0, last Sunday, are still contend
ers for the Midwest league cham
pionship. The Indians are mem
bers of that league and have play
ed two of the strongest teams in
the loop. More were not played
within the league because arrange
ments could not be made through
President Lavine's office for the
booking of same.
Moline defeated the Chicago Ro-
mans, % to 6, held the TNT's and
Boosters TO scoreless ties and were
beaten by the Boosters early in the
season by the narrow margin of
drop kick. The result of the score
less tie with the Boosters played
on Thanksgiving day, was disput-
ed, the Indians claiming to have
won by a safety.
The Indians are willing TO meet
the Boosters or any other team in
the Midwest league to settle its
claim for the title.

started to- switch the converse
ton to some other angle of bill
lizards. just as Schaefer was pick
ing up his cue ready to start his
practice, when he turned quickly
and said to me:

ously makes a sucker play. Any
one who gets the impression that

revolYes about him is making big
mistake.

this title and l may not hold it

long. However. I am hoping no
such fate overtakes me" Then he
proceeded to run off a bunch of bill
lizards before 1 could again get his
ear.
What is the hardest shot on the
table for you?" L asked.
There are too many of them for
me to go into detail" he modestly
answered.

JOHNNY BUFF,
BANTAM KING,
ONCE KAYOED

Has Johnny Buff, present holder
of the f1yweighI and bantam honors,
ever been knocked out?
Yes, like most of the champions,
Johnny at one time in his career
was forced to take the count
There is a very interesting story
in connection with that knockout,
if you will take the word of Johns
manager for the particulars.
Incidentally, that knockout
proved a most costly one, as Buff
had been selected as the first op-
ponent for the English champion,
Jimmy Wilde, when he toured this
country.
Anxious to give Buff a stiff work
out for the proposed bout, he was
matched with Mickey belmont, who
was figured soft picking.
Buff fought with a rubber mouth
piece TO protect his gums, just as
Charley White, Jack Britton and a
number of others do.
In the second round belmont
slipped a right cross to Bluffs law.
II Jared the mouthpiece and
Johnny's teeth clicked together. In
so doing he bit the rubber in two,
and proceeded to swallow one of
the halves.
Buff naturally was gagged as a
result. He sank TO his knees and
vainly tried to get the rubber out
or his throat He was unable to
do so, and the referee counted him
out while he was still trying to rid
himself of tho rubber mouthpiece.
That is the story of Johnny's only
Knockout, as told by his manager.

to these three, the AH-Stars were
fortified by PuciIik and Swanson

Nebraska university team this sea-
SON.
According to reports of the game
Healy was the big star on defense,
the majority OF the tackles being
credited to him. Johnson also play
ed his great slashing game at half
back, while EIenefee showed sbil-
ity at end. particularly in snatch
ing forward passes. The Marines
outplayed the All-Stars in the first
half, being stopped within three
yards Of touchdown in the second
quarter after an uninterrupted ad-
vance OF SO yards. In the last
quarter Sioux City secured posses
sion OF the ball on the Marines
I2yard line and rushed it over by
means of a pass to Menefee and a
plunge by Johnson.

T. The frat real thrills OF the
ssebael-etba1I season in the Rock Is
land high school were evident last
i nfrht when the initial interciass
games were played.
The seniors and the sophomores
staged the best battle, the game
ending in a victory for the sophS'
TX to IL. The upper classmen were
in the lead until the last few MN
utes when the second year poSs
dazzled their opponents with speeu
and fast floor work. The seniors
chance was lost when a few min
l1tes before the final whistle blew
Olson was put out OF the game
and. having no substitutes, the
seniors were forced TO finish the
half with four men, Many fouls
were made by the seniors and had
the sophomore squad been more
adept in shooting the free throws
thew would have won by a much
wider margin. Playing is still
crude and it will be some time De
fore any OF the men will get the
rhythmic action that is needed Tor
a successful team.
Lamp was the point-maker Tor
the seniors and the tallies on the
sophomore side were about evenly
divided between Reed, AleXenburg,
Whitfield and Vernon. Alexenburg
was of color His inability to shoot
fouls was against him. Half OF the
'sophomores' scores were made on
free throws. After the first nights

Tony Caponi, former Rock Island
boxer, is going at top speed in the

friends here that he could have a
bout every night in the week if it
was possible for him to stand such
a pace. For all that, he is anx-
ious to return to Rock Island for
a couple OF matches. just to show
local fandom sample of his new
found abilities. He would like to
meet Dundee. but would not con-

other bouts were in sight.
According to Tony, he is no

Rock Island days. He says he has
discarded that style in favor of
standing up and Singing away at

he has developed formidable wal

 When transfers of units are to be made at lesser distances they are accomplished by hiking. The men shoulder their full impost of equip- ment. the accompanying baggage trains are loaded the command to march is given and the outfit Is on its way to its new post.
 Another evidence of the army's ef- fort to cut it's coat of expenses ac- cording to the cloth appropriated Is to be found in a new sentence that is beginning to appear in the general orders of the chief of staff That sentence reads: No expense will be incurred by the government in con nection with the change herein di- rected. Interpreted by officials of the war department. it means that no individual transfers are being made except at the expense of the indivldu- al involved,
 Indeed. army travel has been re- duced to minimum, even on official business. Where an officer is sent from any department on an inspec- tion trip he is charged with the per formance of any other duties in con- nection herewith that may concern other departments of the service, an ] the travel expenses of several men thereby are saved
