WITH THE SCRIBES OF OTHER CITIES
CLUB OWNERS MUST
 LISTEN TO PUBLIC

Club owners nowadays keep their ears to the ground to catch the sound of the rumbling of the mob, if there be any. An instance: the Cincinnati fans howled when Pat Moran traded Pitcher Reuther to Brooklyn for Rube Marquard. The yell did not down when John McGraw came along with proposition for Third Baseman Groh. It was tempting. but the Redland authorities got together and deciGed the only thing they gould do was to wait until they learned how the fans would take the passing of the great third sscker, even if his rassing d.d mean the strengthening oe two positions Here was the big deal. which was to start in New York
 McGraw would buy Maranyille from Boston for two and possibly three men, pitcher. outfielder and Goldie Rapp, the star from St. Paul. McGraw would then trade Maranville and Snyder or Gonzales and cash to Cincinnati for Groh. The Reds in turn, would trade sam Crane, the shortstop, and the New York catcher, to Philadelphia for Rixey. Then Mcian would send Jimmy Ring and the ncney secured from New York to st. Louis for McHenry and Janvrin The ceal may go through yet, put Il depends upon how the Cmcnnati fans view it.--FittshErg Leader.

''Best Team Won," {" Says Grant Ward,
 Head Line Coach

Los Angeles, January 2.--Grant F. Ward, head line coach for the foot ball team of Ohio State university, in II signed article in the Los An- geles Times, says
 !" sBeaten at their own game.' This nptly expresses the result of the CaiifOrnia-Ohio State's New Years day fray.
 ''The Golden Bears sprang a di- versified attack that was not only most varied, but had more punch than that exhibited by the Buck eyes The Golden Bears possessed everything that good football team should have, including every variety of the forward passing att tack, superb interference, on end runs and line that could open up holes for sh0rt-line pIunges.
 Ut is doubtful if any team could have defeated California thes way they played yesterday. Probably the entire affair could be summed up in the words, the best team wOn.' And the hats of Ohio are off to the California eleven"

BOUT MIGHT DECIDE DIXIE'S
 HEAVY BOXING TITLE

Atlanta January 2.--(Special) )-Since the tanning of Joe White. Alabama Wildcat" the other night at the auditor ium, Atlanta's railbirds have been worry ing themselves groggy over a capable opponent for Battling Bill Bailey Walk Miller's light heavyweight, and this city's best offering in the division The task is hard one here in the south, and asde from a couple of battlers in New Orleans, we are at a loss to name any Dixie boxers who would interest Bailey.
 To our mind Martin Burke, of New punches with Bailey, but we have it from a reliable source that Fried Burke and his manager, Fred Di2by, are not anxious for a match with Blll. 1t has never been recorded that Digby flatly re- fused to sanction a battle, but the figure he named for Burke's share of the booty smacked more of a federal reserve bank statement that it did a nonchampion' s offer to fight.
 Jack Brtton came to Atlanta for a guarantee that did not exceed $1,750; Benny Leonard risked his title here for about s2,0oo,, but MT Burke refused 10 come for less than 1,SOO silver washers, and to add insult to injury, the New Orleans Contender demanded a node cision affair. Hume Mcdonald reported the case to the congressional profiteer- ing Investigating committee, and noth- ing more has been heard from the haven of the Pelcans.

Bulldogs to Begin
 Their Practice for Basketball Today
Fly MAXWELL ALLEN

This afternoon the Howard Bulldogs begin their training for basketball, and though they are getting an unusually late start, the prospects for a successful cage season at Howard are very bright. or course. they will be handicapped by the late start, but most all of the men who are going to go out for basketball played football, and are consequently in very good shape, even though they have been resting for the last three or four weeks.
 The Bulldogs are minus the services of the brilliant O. B, Newman this year, but other than that they will probably put out, more formidable bunch of huskies than those who fought under the Crimson and Blue last season. Othar Afford, who is captain of this years quin- tet, and who played a star role at guard last year for the Bulldogs, is going to be back again in that same old position.
 With more experience than he had last year. and with the same old fight and gameness he will not only make the How al dites jamb-up good captain, but he will also make it more than interesting for any forward who attempts to cover himself with glory at Towards expense. WALKER BACK
 Peahead Walker, who alternated at guard and forward last year for Howard, | is another of the old men back again | to fight for the Bulldogs, and it is quite probable that he will play guard this year. With two guards like Walker and l Afford. Howard will furnish enough stuff
 on the defensive to make any forward 1 in the south work hard to get the old
 ball through the basket.
 1 At center, Blackwelder and MacCul-
 tough are going to fight it out to see
 who is going to be given a chance to fill
 the gap left open by Newman's absence. i Both of these men have had experience ! in the game. Blackwelder having played
 with the Bulldog five in 1917, and MacCul- tough playing last year with Jackson ville State Normal As both of these men are good at goal shooting, it is pretty likely that the loser of the fight for cen lter will be allowed to play one of the 1 forwards.

 with the Howard five, looms up as the

HARVARD LEARNS E FOOTBALL FROM
 OPPOSING TEAMS
Crimson Makes Every Effort to Play Elevens With Novel or a New Method
 of Attack

When it comes to making an effort to increase it's football knowledge, few elevens have anything on Harvard uni versity, for the Crimson is continuallyN trying to get games with teams which have something novel or new, and as result the Harvard coaches pick up things beneficial to their own cause.
 The Crimson had heard about the re- markable defense that the Centre col lege eleven had perfected last year The result was Harvard scheduled a game with the Kentucky boys for this last fall
 Centres line proved toe light for Har- yards big forwards. and it couldn't bring it's crack defense into perfect play. But Centre did show Harvard a surprising attack, which doubtless was closely watched by the Crimson coaches and dissected for future use.
 OREGON HELPED HOWARD
 Oregon had an attack last fall that was nationally famous and Harvard learned much about it when the Crimson played the Webfoots at Pasadena in the winter time.
 It will be remembered that Harvard. tried to schedule game with the crack Notre Dame eleven for this fall. Tho South Bend management had to cancel
 
 going to West Point and then back to Cambridge.
 Harvard especially wanted this battle because it had heard about the remark able fashion in which Notre Dame's ends toppled the opposing tackles. No pair of ends in the country have this trick down to such a point of perfection as the Notre Dame wings; in fact, no other team tries the same tactics. The play was thought out and perfected by for mer Coach Harper and Coach RocknN has followed it up.
 They call it the "side-swipe." Here is how it works: When Notre Dame has the ball, the two ends go forward, running with their knees far apart. They look highly awkward to the unknowing visitor. However, as they rock back and forth, they are in O position to throw their whole weight to either side in an instant.
 l They bear toward the opposing tackles, who are the first and most dangerousl l men in breaking up play. On break ing through, tackle pivots and there is an instant when he is off balance. At that moment the Notre Dame end hits him. putting him entirely out of the play,
 There have been instances where the South Bend end first put the tackle out of the play, got up to his feet, took off the halfback, acting as part of the secondary defense at that side of ths line, and then nailed the last man, tho quarterback. putting no less than three dangerous men out of the play. Bach man once made touchdown. on a play 1 like this when one of his ends elimi- mated three opponents. l So it is no wonder that Harvard wanted ] that Notre Dame game. This one play | would have been worth the effort.

HERE'S GOLDEN RULE
 FOR ALL GOLFERS

There's saying that there's time and place for everything. and this also takes in swearing, especially as far as the golfer is concerned. An old St. An- drew's golfer. who thought nothing of surrounding himself with sulphurous language was, following a prominent lawyer around the links, giving the last named advice every now and then. The player, who happened to be off his game that day lost his temper, with disastrous results. so that the air was blue Finally the older golfer could keep in no longer and he said
 Mon, mon, if ye wad keep your tongue off the ba' and your e ont ye would play better.

 look like the ones who are most certain

 there will be a bunch of men out for

 the past two seasons, looks like he will bel
 the man who will push one of the for, wards for position, as he has had lots of experience and possesses world ofI skill, and only his lack of weight has kept him off the team. Dan Gaylord is an- other good man who will probably cause a guard to lay awake at night thinkingl of his chances for the team. Others who are coming out are Clark: Garfield, Lee and w. D. Newman.
 If the Bulldogs weather the first games of the season all right, they will cer- tainly have a successful season, for they have some good material, and once prac- tice gets under way and Coach Marshall drills them in the way to play the game, they should go like a house afire the whole season.
