TOM GIBBONS
DUE CREDIT FOR
KEEPING AT 1T
Offsets Criticism for Picking
Easy Bait-AII Of the Boys
Grab Coin Where They Can.
BY DAMON RUNYON.

NEW YORK. Nov. 19.-Tom
Gibbons gently eased himself into
another soft spot over in Canada
Wednesday night. He added to his
knockout record by whacking one
Soldier Jones on the chin.
The soldier claimed the heavy
weight championship Of Canada. He
lasted one and no one-hundredths
round against the st. Paul man.
Having seen the soldier fight. we
should say the match ran nose-and-
nose with Form. ...
There is a disposition In some quar-
ters to rasp Gibbons for picking 'em
soft, but we cannot subscribe to the
criticism as long as the promoters and
the fistic public seem willing to ac-
cept Tomaso in plastic poses against
the suckers.
Tom wouldn't fight 'em II he wasn't
getting money for it. All Of the boys,
champions and near-champions, have
snatched the soft ones whenever they
got a chance, and will continue to do
so as long as the turn-stiles respond.
II you analyze the records Of the top
notchers Of today you will find they
are made up chiefly of opponents of
little class.
Gibbons has match on with
Georges Carpenter which will bring
him more money than Thomas ever
saw before, so he has to be a little
careful. II Tom should happen to
run into a FASTING, it would spoil the
Carpenter thing.

PRAYING TEAM
AT LYNCHBURG
RIVALS CENTRE
Pretty Coed Discloses Service
Held BY Football Players Be-
fore Entering Battle.
YNCHBURG, Va, Nov. ]

r YNCHBURG, Va, Nov. 49,
That the football lsquad rep
resenting the now famous
Centre College on the gridiron is
not the only football aggregation
which resorts to prayer before go
ing on the football field has lust
been learned here, although. nibiis
understood, Lynchburg college,
teams have invoked divine blessing
before their games since before it
was nationally known that the Kepc
lucky team did the same thing. =
While II was understood at the col
lege that this has long been the case
1t was not generally. talked away from
the campus, and even now 1t has only
leaked out through a pretty coed
who told Of a wonderful prayer ser
vice the squad held just before its
recent game with Emory and Henry,
In which the Hornets were defeated.
The squad does not particularly in
woke divine blessing for victory so
much as it prays that both teams may
resort on the field to no unfair or I'M
sportsmanlike tactics, and the burden
of this Is just as much for one team as
for the other. That these prayers
have been answered that in the pray
ing there has been a reflex influence
upon the players, for their demeanor
under all circumstances has been such
that they do not seem to forget them
selves and the institution they repre-.
sent in the games.
Coach Pat" Evans, who has him.
self starred at Virginia and at Vir-
ginia Tech, does not hesitate to de.
clare that he has never seen such an
aggregation of boys" his reference
being not only to their moral tone
but to their physical condition and
willingness to obey training regula-
tons.
But no great surprise need be ex-
pressed over the Praying Hornets"
over College has long stood for just
such conditions and the team this
year happened to have come four or
five star players in its make up who
are ministerial students, who go out
from the college frequently to supply
pulpits, in training for future min.
listers.
And, too, in the squad, which is
large enough for more than two
teams, there are enough young men
who are student volunteers, who
have pledged themselves and are
preparing to give themselves to full
time Christian service, either in the
ministry or as missionaries. With
these there are nearly fifty such young
people in the college, 80 that there is
an atmosphere which makes 1t easy
for the football squad to be praying
one.'

Coach Heisman announced today
that he would hold December prac-

said the coach, "to get out on
Franklin Field, when the present
season. is over. all the students who
have played football before COM

one reason or another have not
come out for the different teams.
"In addition also hope to have the
present freshman squad work out for
a couple of weeks so that I will have
an opportunity to see what they have.
In this way I can start next season
with a much better idea of the caliber
Of the men / shall have to work with
than any previous time.
81 have already sent out over 100
letters to men in the different
schools Of the university requesting
them to come and see me so that can
find out what is keeping them off
Franklin Field. 1t is too bad that over
100 men who admittedly have played
football before should be unable to re-
port for their college team. / am
going to find out the reason and rem
edy II ii is at all possible"
Heisman was asked what his sched-
ule would be during December, and he
stated with emphasis that he meant
TO run the squad through the whole
gamut of football.
II intend to have scrimmanges
after the first week, for IL is only
through actual work that a player
learns football. The fundamentals
will. of course, be taught to the green
players. i expect to have n number
Of old.time gridiron stars assist me in

long way in aiding US next season."
The head coach also announced that
he would resume spring practice
which was not held last season. The
fact that the different sports overlap

a star of the first magnitude-one of
the best backs playing the game to-
day. French is a good punter and
he can forward pass. He Is very
fast carrying the ball, his chief forte
lying in his straight-away running.
His one weakness is that he lacks
certain amount of stiffness and
change Of pace.
French, like a great many other
star men. seems to be susceptible to
injury and has been out Of the. game
most of the fall. / certainly hope he
will be in shape to perform against
the Navy and II he is in good con-

in for a busy afternoon. There is
no doubt the Army are coming
rapidly and will put up a very good
game when they meet the Middies.

vited to Annual Grid Contest.

|" HE President, the Vice PPresi-
dent, the Secretaries of War
and the Navy, General PERISH
ing, Admiral Coontz, the COM
mandant of the marine corps, the
members of the Senate and the
House of Representatives, high
army, navy and diplomatic officials,
and delegates to the peace confer
ence are among those who have

this year will be the Marine Corps
team from Quantico, Va, and the
Army team, representing the Third
army corps area. Already ac-
ceptances have been received from
dignitaries of the Government and
high army and navy officials, as
surfing a notable turnout.
The game is the second of a series
to be played annually in Baltimore
at the invitation Of the Governor of
Maryland and the mayor OF Balti-
more, with the idea of establishing
an annual classic for the enlisted
men of the service, ranking with the
Army-Navy game in worth and gen.
eral interest. According to the terms
Of the invitation, II is to be PLAYED
on Homewood Field. the athletic
stadium of Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity and Is to be between the best
procurable teams representing the
army, navy or marine corps.
Tied Last Season.
Last year the game was between
the marine corps team representing
Quantico. and the team representing
Great Lakes Naval Training Station.
The game resulted in a tie with
score of 7 to 7, after a most
sensational contest. Astounding in the
highest class football, in which En-
sign Rhodes, for several years a
Naval Academy star. and Lieuten-
ant Brown, former star of BeZdeks
Oregon University team, each scored
a touchdown.
One Of the most brilliant crowds
OF the season witnessed the game
and its beneficial effects on the mo-
rale of the organizations represented
brought Endorsements from many Of
the highest ranking officers Of the
service.
Both teams this year were chosen
throughout the season and their rec
ords which stamp them as the equals
of the best football machines of the
country. The army team will include
among it's members several Of the
men who have made history in foot
bali at West Point, and an effort
will be made to secure the famous
Elmer Oliphant, one Of the backfield
stars of all time. --..
Marines Are Strong.
On the Marine team are number
of men almost equally famous, in
Guiding John w. Beckett. for four
years tackle on the Oregon State
team, pronounced by Walter Camp
one Of the greatest linemen of foot
ball history.
In the Marine backfield will be
Frank b. Goettge, star fullback OF
the same college, and l.. ID. Sander
son, who won fame for his forward
passing with Montana University.
Both the Army and Marine teams
have played stiff schedules this sea-
son, and both have won every game
played by a wide margin. When the
two meet, a desperate battle Is en-
pected, with neither eleven favored.
