was every indication today that the
annual East VS.. West football classic
OF the Tournament of Roses. in which
the undefeated Washington and Jeffer.

seq of mud. Heavy rain, starting early
yesterday and continuing overnight,
thoroughly soaked the turf of Tourna-
ment Park, despite precautions taken
by covering the field with straw.
The Eastern team was plainly elated
with weather conditions, as the rain
has kept the temperature from rising,
and Coach Neales men are reported
to be excellent mudders. The Cali
fornia team had hoped for a dry, fast
field, but are no slouches on a muddy
field. The wet field will operate to
keep the score down to low limit, the
football wizards predicted today.
There was every indication that a
crowd Of at least 10000 will witness
the clash.
Betting had shifted from 8 to 1 on
California to 2 to / early today. Even

NEW YORK, Jan. Awhile Hoppe
will not play any matches until he
meets Jake Schaefer, jr., for the 1872
balkline title In March. The former
champion of all styles of balkline BIZ
lizards, who still holds the 1871 and l41
crowns, declared yesterday that he had
turned down proposals to face either
Welker Cochran or Edouard Hore-

planned to stick to an exhibition pro-

combat with the new champion.
Schaefer also has refused to meet
either Cochran or Horemans prior TO
his title match and II now appears
there will be no balkline championship
play until the big match Is over. Hoppe
said yesterday that II he beats Schae-

Cochran has challenged the winner Of
the Hoppe-Schaefer game, and under
the terms governing the medal will

Schaefer has stated that all his

MOHAWK JUNIORS JOIN
UNLIMITED GRID CLASS

Following their brilliant victory
yesterday over the Dreadnaughts of
Alexandria, the Mohawk Junior foot
ball players have decided to Join the
unlimited class, having played all of
their games this season as a 135-pound
team. Next season the junior Indians
very likely will bar no eleven as an
opponent.
Football fans were surprised by the
young Indians showing against the
crack Alexandria team. They showed
real class in kicking, passing and car
rying the ball, despite the Dread
naughts superior weight. and fully
demonstrated their ability to play In
the unlimited division.

Leonard's standing In his division.
He was, as stated, all alone. The
average fistic fan laughed at the pre-
tensions Of the challengers Of Benny.
But during the last year Leonard
has appeared infrequently. and his
showing on those occasions has caused
dubious wagging of heads among
his most ardent admirers.
Is Leonard Sliding?
He beat Rocky Kansas over In
Harrison, N. j.. in a no-decision bout
last summer, doing II so handily that
some Of his friends voiced the sus
picion that Benny was carrying

in his class that any time he failed
to stop a man they said he was carry

Then he boxed Sailor Freedman. the
tough Chicagoan, in Philadelphia. II

night. Freedman, who was later al
most knocked cold by Tender. was
heavy burden for Benny, although the
latter won on points.
Next Leonard took on George
