Issue Is Altered

LONDON, July 1.-The London
Times, dealing with the imperial con-
ference in an editorial today, argues
that the opinion of Lord Birkenhead,
the lord high chancellor. that the
Angio-Japanese treaty automatically
would continue unless it is formally
denounced, alters the whole angle of
The premiers approach to one of the
largest International problems. The
newspaper says that Lord Birkenhead
pointed out that the treaty itself pro-
yides that unless it is denounced by
Great Britain or Japan it will remain
in force until one or the other party
does denounce it and will even then
continue for year after denunciation.
.;No harm could be done y~publica-
tion OF Lord Birkenhead's discovery"
says the Times, and the sooner all
British peoples have the benefit of it
the better. The puzzle is why The for
eign office failed to make the discov-
cry long ago.
1T would seem, indeed, that had
the dominions been frankly informed
of this simple legal position before
the departure of their premiers, vast
amount OF misunderstandin unneces-
sary speculation and controversy
might have been spared to the press,
public and politicians of the whole
world
I'm a years time, all the Pacific
problems hinging on the treaty ques-
tion may be viewed from totally dif>
ferent standpoint, since it is hoped
and it probable that the powers con-
cerned fill have adjusted many of
the positions whoch now seem, if not
reconcilable. at least difficult and po-
tentially dangerous"

PARK BEFORE LARGE CROWD

test with Millikin Saturday. He
will attempt to drill into his men
all the football knowledge he pos
sesses. and if he succeeds he will
see that the team which steps out
on Douglas park will be onto every
trick and turn of the game.
The outcome of the Augstana-
MilIikin game will probably deter
mine the champions of the Little
Nineteen conference Neither
Augie nor MiIlikin has lost con-
ference game this season. and the
winner of Saturdays tilt Will I'M
doubtedly go through the season
without a defeat. Millikin showed
great strength against Knox last
Saturday when it scored a Z to U
victory over Coach Barry's outfit.
Coach Wann has developed team
which is equally strong on defense
and offense, and the MiIlikin squad
is coming to Rock Island to dupli-
cate its victory of last year, if that
is possible.
Swedberg, on his part, has also
developed a team which is strong
in all phases of the game, and his
huskies are determined to reverse
things this year and hand the MILL
kin eleven a drubbing. One thing
is certain, the Millikin aggregation
will find that they are going up
against a much different line than
they bucked Saturday against
Knox. All of Milikin's large gains
were made through Barry's line.
However. with Augustana it will be
different story. Swedberg has
developed a line which will stand
up against that of any eleven in the
conference, and it is doubtful
whether the Millikin backfield will
be able to hit hard enough for any
material gains.
MiIlikin has not the weight this
year that the Decatur school gen.
orally produces. The Augustana
team will probably outweigh
Wann's eleven a few pounds to the
man. This is a big advantage to
Augie, and it can be assured that
Swedberg will take advantage Of
the most minute detail.
The game will without doubt be
the best of the season. A champion
ship is at stake and Augustana is
out to win.

ed for Augie rooters. The entire

BRISK DEMAND
FOR SEATSAT
BOXING Event
Paddy Clancy Confident His Great
er Experience win Triumph
Over Ross.

An unusually brisk demand for
tickets to the boxing show of the
Davenport legion at the Davenport
armory hall Friday night Of this
week indicates a capacity crowd.
Fans have been well satisfied with
the class of entertainment offered
them by the Iowa soldiers, and are
showing it by their response at the
gate.
Paddy Clancy, who meets Whit
ey' Ross of Chicago in the windup
of 10 rounds, arrived in Davenport
Yesterday afternoon, a day ahead
Of his schedule Paddy explained
he is already in first class shape
for the youngster, and all he needs
is light work between now and
Friday night
Clancy, a veteran of over 200 bat
ties, is confident he can put a
crirnp in the aspirations of the
white-topped kid from the Windy
city. He realizes Ross possesses a
wonderful amount of natural fight
ing and boxing ability, but believes
his greater ruggedness and knowl-
edge of the game will bring him
the popular decision, if not kayo.
Ross was due to reach here this
afternoon with his manager,
Chick" Rice, and his stable-mate,
frankie WEIGH. Ross is always in
condition to step into the ring, SO
he will merely taper off with a
workout or two at the armory.
Ross is glad to get this chance
against man of Clancy's reputa-
ton. He figures he has been wad-
ing through the semi-windup boys
long enough to command windup
attention, and now that he has it,
intends to make the most of it
Ross knows much about Clancy'S
celebrated left swing to the short
ribs, but is confident he can avoid
serious connection with it, and at
the same time play for a vital spot
in hopes of winning by a knock
out
Archie Amons, the freak from
Marshalltown, will smile his way
into Davenport tonight. He wires
he is all set to give George Cum
mings another setback in their
semi-windup engagement Of six
rounds or less. Amons is reported
to be a more finished boxer and
slugger than when he was out
pointed by Buddy Mcdonald of St
Paul on the last spring card of the
legion at the Coliseum.
Cummings has improved wonder
fully since his last engagement in
the tri-Cities, and local fans are
due for a great surprise when they
see him in action, according to the
dope being spilled. If he defeats
the Marshalltown product he may
get a crack at some Of the tough
est welters in the country

WRESTLERSOF
COUNTRY FEAR
HINDU MENACE
Native Comes to Study, and As
Side Line Topples the Re-
dOubtable Lewis.

Wichita, Kan, Oct 19.-The age
old fear of the wrestling world
that the championship of the world
will pass from the race and repose
permanently with the Hindu in
southern Asia has been brought up
again.
The bringer-up of the fear is
Jatindra Charan Goho Gobar, the
gigantic Indian who has just shown
wrestling fans and Ed (StrangIerl
Lewis thing or two in their match
here.
When the huge Hindu, who says
he has come to this country in the
interests of his own land and his
education and has taken up
wrestling as a side issue, clapped
terrific toe-hold upon Lewis, the
ex-champion, and twisted his shout
ders to the mat in less than an
hours wrestling, several things
thereupon happened.
The springing into being of this
fear of the eventual graphing su-
premacy OF the Buddhists, the
championship TO be protected in
Asiatlc India with all the handi-
caps of religious fanaticism and
/ century-old preparation was one of
the results of the match
To BE Feared.
Gohar incidentally placed HIM
self in the ranks of the topnotchers
and made himself a man to be
feared by the best grapplers in the
world. He showed himself to be a
man of terrible strength, extreme
caution, willy generalship and skill
full science.
The foreigner had been the ag-
gressor all the way. He slipped
the toe-hold upon Lewis and en-
forced it TO a Tall probably more
easily than has been done in any
big match since Zbyszko surprised
the sporting world several months
ago in his freak meeting with
Lewis 1t was the first fall anyone
had obtained froEi him since that
time.
That the "Hindu menace" should
have entered the American
wrestling circles-which is to saw
the worlds wrestling circles-at
the very start of the 1929 sea
son is indicative of a new factor in
wrestling in the next year or two.
Jaundra Charan Goho Gobar. who
weighs fully up to Lewis. whose
physical appearance is said TO nra-
sent great symetry and whose sheer
strength probably far surpasses
that of the American, will have an
eventful career in the next few
years, should be follow the steps of
several Indian wrestlers who have
invaded the country.
Gobar adheres strictly to his re-
ligion, holding that its beliefs.
charms and signs give him strength.
He is a college graduate. and came
to America mainly, he said, to
study economics. his father being

Augustana will play the strong
Millikin university eleven at Doug
las park Saturday instead OF Eric
son field. Art Swedberg. Augie
mentor, has completed the arrange
ments, and everything is in readi
ness at the Rock Island school foT
the big scrap.
There are several reasons for
the change. Friday and Saturday
are the days set aside for home
coming at Augustana, and it is ex-
pected that from 800 to 400 gradu-
ates will return to their Alma Ma
ter for the weekend. All of the
grads will be present at Saturdays
fracas for that is the big athletic
event of the Homecoming festivi-
ties. Football fans of the quad
cities are also anxiously waiting to
see the tilt between the Millikin
eleven and Swedberg's gridiron
huskies, and the entire student
body at the college will be present.
Seating facilities at Ericsson field
are inadequate to handle a crowd
such as promises to be present
when the two schools lock horns,
as the bIeachers at the college field
will seat only about three hundred
spectators. The game Saturday is
the biggest game of the year, and
it is the desire of the authorities at
Augustana that every person pres
ent be given a seat from where he
or she can view the game.
Yesterday began week of real
toll for Swedberg's squad. Rain
prevented practice on the field
Monday but Art held skull prac-
tice in the gymnasium, pointing out
to his players their weakness and
outlining methods to correct these
faults. Every phase of the game
was worked on from forward pass
ing to scrimmage. Midseason finds
the Augustana squad in the pink
of condition, and all of Swedberg' s
regulars, with the exception OF
Littig, will play Saturday. Scrim-
mage will be held every afternoon
this week. Art will send his sec
ond string men against the reSu-
lars, instructing them to use MILL
kin formations. The Augustana
coach is pleased with the improve
ment which his men have shown
in the last two weeks. This is
especially true in the defense
against the sky attack, and in run
ming interference. In the game
with Illinois Wesleyan last Friday,
the Bloomington aggregation com
pleted only two forward passes out
of 20 attempts, and the interior
ence given Augie runners was lit

Swedberg will also work out
some new formations for the con-

Sign Pat Gavin.
Now as to the berth left vacant
by Malone's missal-Manager
Flanagan has shared Patrick j.
Gavin, erstwhile OF the Detroit
Tigers and last year star fullback
of the Buffalo All-Americanst
Gavin has been anxious to Join the
Independents, and yesterday he
wired Flanagan terms were accept
able and to expect him in Wednes-
day in time for practice.
Gavin, can point to a record on
the gridiron that should gain him
recognition any place. In the
early part of 1920, he played with
Tonawanda, n. Y, now a member
of the American Professional
! Football association. In mid
season he jumped to Buffalo and
nished as the fullback of the All
Americans. His playing, more
than anything else, is said to have
been responsible for the defeat OF
Jim Thorpe's Canton Bulldogs at
the Polo grounds, New York, by
Buffalo in the final game of 1920.
He is said to have ripped the cele-
brated line of the Cantonites to
shreds by his powerful plunging.
Well, il he was such a brilliant
performer, how come Buffalo and
Detroit let him get away? This is
a question fans will want answered.
Fact of the matter is, he has never
signed a contract with Detroit, and
as far as Buffalo is concerned it
seems it dispensed with him be-
cause of a policy of employing only
such players as have had all
American selection or mention
This is in keeping with the name OF
All-Americans. Gavin is not such
a celebrity, but he is a football
player who can be used at any Do
sition in the backfeld.
Gavin was in communication
with Manager Flanagan for over a
week He has said he intended to
apply for a place here when he
came to Davenport with the Tigers
but first wanted to show his abil-
ity. Gavin was used but three
dependents. He felt is was not
sufficient time in which to prove
anything. so he dismissed the sub
ject from his mind
Flanagan is dickering with an
other player-a Hneman. If he
lands him, the team should be we'll
fortified in every position for the
balance of the season.
Councilman Popular.
Jimmie CoEzelman. the new
captain, is popular with players
and fans alike. Quiet, conscien-
tious and withal a smart football
player, his success in the role of
chief seems assured. 1t should be
said here that Councilman will
henceforth perform regularly at
the quarterback position. This
sends Sid Nichols TO a half back
position, where his speed and drive
is expected to show to better ad-
vantage.
