COPE TO TAKE CHARGE OF ATHLETICS AT HOWARD COLLEGE ON AUGUST 1, 1922
Bob Martin Wants to Fight Dempsey
 For Championship

New York, December 3o.-(speciaIN Bob Martin. the A. r.. F. champion, after two years of successful pug cry" is anxious for a match with Jack Dempsey. and has challenged the champ for match at any time or place agreeable to Dempsey. Mar tan believes that his record is enough to justify his fighting the champion, but If what he has accomplished in the last two years is not enough 60 convince Dempsey of his ability, then he is willing to take on any man the champion or public might name ahead of championship battle. Watchful Waiting
 When he first took Martin in tow Bronson said nothing about match with Dempsey, because he knew Mar tin was not yet ready for the big bouts, and so he trained him cave fully without mentioning a bout for the title. but now that Martin has proven himself a fighter, Bronson wants Dempsey to come across and give the big boy chance.
 "Evcr since Martin was launched upon A prOfeSSlpnat rlUB career lN 1919. sent him along carefully. building him up by that process to a point where he now is fit to tackle any living man--go on to victory" says Bronson. Tn 9& fights he has scored S3 knockouts. No fighter, liv- ing or dead. has approached that mark I feel that the public will concede that fighter with punch like that must be regarded as Demp- seys most dangerous rival.
 H Good shape
 Martin weighs 193 today. He is feet 2A inches tall and is only 23 years old. He has lived clean life. He is physically perfect He has proved his fighting greatness. He now wants his chance to mix 1t with Dempsey in battle for the stellar honors of the fighting world. IS Dempsey ready now to meet Martin in battle for the fistic supremacy of the world?"

Harris Cope will be remem- bered by Birmingham football lovers as the man who turned out such wonderful football teams at Sewanee, where he was head coach from 1909 through 1916. Sewanee's best teams were turned out under the Cope re- gime at the Tennessee institu- ton, and his followers are pre- ! dieting as brilliant career at Howard college for Cope as he enjoyed at Sewanee.
 In making the announcement of the signing of Harris Cope, Howard college officials would not state the terms of the con tract. or the length Of service the contract calls for.
 To Coach Three Sports
 Cope is to be athletic director at Howard and head coach in all three sports. football, basketball, and baseball. He has had con siderable experience in all three branches of athletics, and should be able to handle one as we'll as the other.
 Howard college authorities consider themselves lucky in signing Cope, who built up quite a reputation for himself as a football coach. He has served on the football rules committee with Walter Camp and other notables in the gridiron world. and is said to have very thorough knowl- edge of the pigskin game.
 Proves Ability
 Cope proved while at Sewanee that it does not require a large student body to build up win ming football teams. While ath- letic director at the Tennessee i'm stitution, Cope turned out cham pionship teams from one of the smallest student bodies of any of the major Dixie colleges. Howard college authorities are looking for great things from Cope, and are planning reJuvenation of athletics at the local school
 It was stated yesterday that several applications for the po- sition as assistant athletic direc- tor at Howard are being taken into consideration, and that an assistant coach will be secured as soon as the new athletic di- rector, Harris Cope. has had time to go over the applications.
 Played at Sewanee
 Harris Cope, who is in business at Cartersville, Ga. started his athletic career at Taft school in Watertown, Conn. Later he played on Sewanee Military academy's athletic teams and then graduated to the university.
 While at Sewanee, Cope played four years on the varsity foot ball and baseball teams, and cap tained the Tiger eleven in 1901. Cope made a great record as a Tiger, and was soon signed as as- sistant coach at Sewanee.
 He was assistant athletic di-

OH-Tackle Bucks and SProbablyW
 Be Used by Bears

Berkeley, Cal, December Si.-Pow- erful off-tackle bucks. forward passes and bunting probably will be used by the University of California eleven in offensive play against Washington and Jeffarson at Pasadena, Cal, in the annual New Years day east vs. west football game.
 California's team, probably the strongest ever developed in the west using mainly tackle bucks and an aerial attack, went through a hard schedule this year without being de- feated and without even being forced to exert it's full strength. Generally California punts great deal. wait ing for the break" and when the break" comes then starts its strong advance.
 Last Defeat in iOlg
 No defeats have been suffered by the Bears since 1919. Last year the eleven, dubbed the wonder team" went through the season undefeated, piled up high scores, won the Pacific coast conference championship and defeated Ohio State university, big ten champion, New Years day. This year the scores have not been so high but the conference title was won for a second time without a defeat.
 California has no outstanding stars. unless it be Brick" Muller. end. who has habit of throwing forward passes 50 and 60 yards like he would throw a baseball A fractured bone in his knee kept Muller out of most of this years games.
 A Good Kicker
 Archie Nisbet, who probably will start at fullback, does most of the kicking and in every game this year his boots of from 40 to SC yards have gained ground in every exchange of punts.
 Duke Morrison. californias other first-string fullback, is a powerful line charger. Toomey and NichoIs, the halfbacks, are powerful. Dan Me Milan, tackle, had been mentioned for all-American honors. Quarter back Charley Erb Is an excellent field general and Berley and Stephens. two others ends, are particularly fast in getting down the field under pnnts.
 1921 Record
 The record of California's 1921 games follows:
 California 21. st. Marys college 0.
 California 14, Olympic club of San Francisco 0.
 California 51. University of Ne vada 6.

 Tenn Won Dixie Title
 In 1909 Cope's Sewanee eleven won the undisputed southern championship. and was runner up for the title in 1aI0 and 1912. His teams defeated Vanderbilt in 1909 and 1914. and tied the Com modore in 1911. Since Cope's de- parture from athletics at Se- vance, the Tigers have lost to Vanderbilt every year.
 Harris Cope, while in business at Cartersville, Ga,. has coached the town and high school teams, turning out very creditable elev- z ems among the youngsters. Hee has seen practically every impor- tant game played in Atlanta since 1917, and considers himself very well up on modern football.
 On Rules Committee
 In 1914 and 1915. Cope served on the national football rules committee, along with Walter Camp and other notables.
 Cope visited Birmingham Wednesday for conference with Howard college officials. It was then that he signed his contract as athletic director at the local institution. although announce ment of the fact was withheld until yesterday.
 Howard college men should consider themselves fortunate in securing the services of Harris Cope, who, by his fine record at Sewanee. has proven his ability as a coach and athletic director. He takes charge at Howard on August l.

 With Bears
By Associated Press

Berkeley, Cal. December Sl.- Hardened and cheered by a vigorous and victorious football season. and kept in the pink of condition by fre- quent drilling on a snow covered gridiron since it's close. the Wash ington and Jefferson college squad today was ready for it's battle against the University of California at Pasa- dena, aJnuary 2.

 Prominent among the leaders was Captain Russell Stein, who, as tackle. led the squad. He was consistent star and to his generalship the Red and Black traced some of It's most important victories.
 Erickson and Brankhert, halfbacks and Konvolinka and Aiken, ends, were the other men with long foot ball training.
 Kopf, another end, has always been looked upon as notable player, ana in the last season saved the day for w. and J. from the University of Pittsburg by a leap in the air, re- ceiving a forward pass and dashing across the line for a touchdown, the only score of the game.
 The team was strong in offense and powerful in defense and showed it's mastery of the game by lightning changes from massed formation to open play.

 In it's regular playing season Washington and Jefferson scored total of 208 points. while it's oppo- nents scored but 24.
