COAST TO VIEW
VARIED STYLES

Eastern Football OPP
poses West IN 3
Games.
RY WALTER CAMP.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, N. Y, Dec. 18.-Christ-
mas and New Year football on the
Pacific coast might be frightened
il the star University of California
team were to be among those in
action. Yet from the standpoint of
varied football systems the athletic
treat to be furnished the Pacific
coast spectators, will be we'll nigh
uneQualled.
Those who attend will have
spread before them on the gridiron.
the methods of Hugh Bezdek, Glenn
Warner and C. W. Spears, as repre-
senting the styles of the east as OPP
posed to the strategies of Elmer
Henderson, Andy Kerr and C. E.
Dorais, representing the west.
Few know what world of foot
ball this array of talent represents.
Bezdek began his career under
Lonnie Stage at Chicago. He cut a
wide swath as coach in the Pacific
northwest and last year produced
team at Penn State that checked
the invasion of that great southern
team, Georgia Tech, and displayed
one of the best rounded out systems
in the east.
Glenn Warner began his career
at Cornell as a player, and then as
coach made the Carlisle Indians a
terror for all college teams and his
record at the University of Pitts
burgh has been as fine as that of
any coach for general year after
year consistency in turning out high
class teams.
C. W. Spears started as a Dart
mouth player, coached at his Alma
Mater, and then went to West Vir-
ginia,. A year ago his methods
there were in the making. but this
year he has developed one of the
best elevens in the country.
Elmer Henderson, from Oberlin,
has made Southern California one
| of the teams to be reckoned with in
coast football and one which stands
| second only to Andy Smiths re-
markable band of football warriors
at Berkeley.
Andy Kerr is a pupil of Glenn
Warner and his work at Stanford
has already resulted in the build
| ing up of that great asset.toward a
| coaching schedule-an adequate de-
tense. Kerr has laid the founda-
ton for the arrival of Warner in
| 1924, at which time the latter will
take over direction of the Stanford
qridirOn teams
| Dorais is a NOtre Dame product
of the school which has given us
/ Knute Rockne. He has built along
! thoroughly progressive lines at
! Gonzaga
I Thus the holiday season games in
| the west will present to view the
products Of American intercol-
legiate fo9 Il as developed in the
east and =. re west in the last 10
! years by lei masters.

TEX HOPES TO
GIVE GIBBONS
DEMPSEYBOUT
Demands of St. Paul
Fighter Are Not
Too High.
BY FAIR PLAY.

New York, Dec. 1S.-Tex Richard
said today he had received word
from Tommy Gibbons manager
asking for fight with Jack Demp-
sey, and that in good time he would
take some action. ASKED whether
he thought the fight would be
worth while, Richard was non-com-
initial, as shrewd promoter natur-
ally would be before the time has
come to talk money to the two
principals. But there is no doubt
that Tex would like to book the
two men up and would pay good
money for the privilege.
Dempsey would get most Of it, of
course. Gibbons, contrary to the
attitude Of some contenders, is not
asking present of the Philadel-
phia mint in return for meeting
Dempsey. In fact, his financial de-
sires are modest. So as far as the
challenger is concerned Richard
will find no obstacle at all in the
way Of the match. The present sit
uation has arisen as result of
Tommy's victory over his fellow
citizen, Billy Miske, the other night.
Any one that can pound Miske the
way Gibbons did-even granting
that Billy has begun to slip back to
his 1920 form-has claim to bat
tie for high heavyweight honors.
As for the champion it is time his
manager ceased to buzz around
with Jess Willard. In Tommy Glib
bons he can find young contender
who has, all things considered, a
magnificent record. The very fact
that Jack Kearns has given all ad--
vances from the Gibbons ranks the
cold and CLASSY stare indicates that
neither he nor his meal ticket Is
too greatly struck upon the idea of
mixing up with the Minnesotan.
Why not? Well Tommy is clever
as Houdini and elusive as q ghost.
And besides. he can hit.
It would not be a great miracle
were Gibbons to avoid the cham
piOn's most crushing wallops in a
12-round bout and ut the same
time administer a lot of punishment
to Jack. Probably. this would not
happen. but the chance chat it

BETTER TEAM
/. next SEASON
! FOR MICHIGAN
ODach Yost to Lose Only Few Of
Veterans Of Great Team by
Graduation.

Ann Rrbor. Mich, Dec 1S.-IBy
the Associated Press.) - Football
plans of Coach Fielding H. Yost for
1898 are conferred chiefly on re-
placing the two star ends and two
backfield men OF this years unde-
feated Michigan team, who are to
graduate next spring. With the ex-
ception of the fullback vacancy,
promising substitutes are available
from the 1922 squad and Coach
YOst In disbanding the team at the
close of the season predicted IAN
even better team next year than We
had this year"
Yost's chief problem at the start
OF the 1922 training season was to
develop a line. He succeeded so
we'll that Michigan closed the sea-
son in q tie with Iowa for cham
pionship honors Of the Big Ten.
Next year the greatest worry will
be to find a pair OF flankers to take
the places OF ennie Kirk, winner of
. place ON the all-conference elev-
en-. and Captain Paul Goebel.
Franklin C. Cappon. fullback, and
Douglas Roby, halfback, also are
among the 10 members of the squad
Who will be lost through gradual
tiph.
1.-THE veterans Stanley Muirhead,
ROsatti and Vandervoort will re-
turn next fall for tackle berths;
Steele and Slaughter. sophomore
guards, will have the advantage of
asyear under fire; Jack Blot is re-
lid upon to develop into one of the
'eest centers in the Big Ten next
season. He filled this berth cred
iNbly this year.
I'm the backfeld there remains
to sensational Harry Kipke apoth-
"a all-conference choice; KSefer
and Steger. two halfbacks, who dis
tihguished themselves this year.
and Uteritz, whose heady work won
hm recognition in conference cir
ctes this season.

positions. Dutch" Marion, for

ffDm the freshman squad OF this
seas0n. but there ID NO outstand-
iR candidate for the fullback posi-
tim.
Although disbanded, Coach Yost
