WILDCATS PLAY
SIX BASKETBALL
CANES IN WEEK

ball team starts tomorrow night on
the longest trip that any team in the
southwest has ever taken. The Wild
cats play six games in as many
nights with the New Mexico colleges
The total length OF the trip from
Tucson and return is 1851 miles.
The following games will be
played; January 80 and 81, New
Mexico Military Institute at Roswell;
February / and 2, University Of New
Mexico at Albuquerque; February 8,
New Mexico A. & M. at Ell Paso, and
February A, New Mexico A. e. M. at
State College.
The guarantees paid by the home
teams will not meet the expenses, but
the Wildcat student body will make
up the loss as this years team is
considered the best that ever repre-
sented Arizona and is expected to win
more than half its road games, Every
man on the team is an experienced
player, all being on last years team.
Slonaker of football fame, and Tow
rea, a sophomore, usually work at
forwards. Thomas plays center and
Wallace, Locking and Hobbs guard
the baskets. Wallace is the most
versatile man on the squad and can
play any position on the team.
Slonaker, Wallace and Locking
have played four years together and
will graduate in the spring.

CHICAGO, Jan. 26-Winter golf Is
becoming as general as all-year mo-
toring, according to information
gathered by former national cham
pion Chick Evans, who has made it
a hobby for several years to study
that phase of his favorite pastime.
Between the sturdy golfer who fol-
lows the red ball through the snow
on northern links and the thousands
who journey to more moderate
climes, Evans estimates that about
half of Americas golfers continue
play during the frigid months. Golf
courses have been built by scores in
the southern and Pacific coast states
until 800 semi tropical links now
await the ingress of winter players.
From Pinehurst. not far south of
the Mason and Dixon line, on the
Atlantic, these winter links form a
U-shaped string down to Florida.

Basketball fans who want to see
real honest-to- goodness game can
satisfy their craving by iourneying
over to Tempe this afternoon when
the Coyotes and Normalites clash on
the Tempe court.
Tempe Normal boasts an unde-
feated team, but the Coyotes have
determined TO break this winning
streak today. A glimpse at records
of former years shows that Normal
has never been able TO defeat Phoe-
nix high two times In one year. Past
performances count for little IN fig
uring dope for new teams, but lucky
stones, rabbit feet and the well known
jinx mean much in the life of an
athlete. With lady luck standing
close the Coyotes hope to win this
afternoons game.
Smarting under the sting OF three
successive defeats Phoenix High viii
send a crowd of several hundred
rooters to Tempe to cheer the Coy
otes to victory. To the fan who fol-
lowed Phoenix High through the
football season the loyalty of the stu
dent body is not new, but serves to
enthuse the town folks into keener
appreciation of school athletics.
Knowing how Phoenix rooters back
their favorites the Normal student
body win crowd the side lines this
afternoon to help balance the tide in
their favor. Not only the student
body, but every member OF the fac
ulty will be present when the whistle
blows.
Tempe Normal has already won
enough games to clinch the title in
Glass A and arrangements are now
being made to meet the Gilbert five,
Glass b winners, next Tuesday af-
ternoon on the Tempe court and will
play a return game Friday on the
Gilbert court. In case each team
wins one game, the third and decid-
ing game will be played on the LID.
S. court at Mesa. The winner of
the Gilbert Tempe series will be de-
clared champions OF the Salt River
valley.
The high school title in Glass B
league, goes to Gilbert for the third
time in as many years. The High
School title In Glass A league has not
been decided. The outcome OF the
Mesa Phoenix game at Phoenix Feb
ruary 10 will decide the winner,
Basketball has been very success
full in the Salt River valley this year
and both fans and players will regret
the call to hang up the athletic suits
for baseball spikes and unies.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26. - A nurse
equal to the one he received for the
Jersey City fight last summer" has
been offered Jack Dempsey for a sec
ond bout with Georges Carpenter in
London In July, Jack Kearns. the
champions manager announced to-
night.
Dempsey's share in the champion
ship fight with the Frenchman July
2, was said to have been $780,
600. the largest stake ever offered a
pugilist. Carpenters share was
$500, 900.
Kearns said he win announce his
decision soon.
The London offer was made by a
syndicate OF sportsmen, Kerns said
II came on the heels of a message
from William A. Brady, expressing
his desire to match Dempsey and
Harry Wills in London.
Recent talk in the sporting world
has included much OF a return bout
between Carpenter and Dempsey.
The theory was advanced that
Georges in decision bout would be
able to stand off and wait his chance
at Dempsey's jaw instead of wading
into quick defeat as he did at Jersey
City.
Jack Dempsey is eager to defend
his title against any recognized rival
and is not particular as to the scene
of the combat. declared Jack Kearns.
his manager, when he arrived yester-
Cay. Kearns came east for the pur-
pose of meeting with Promoter Tex
Rickard and arranged for a confer
ence with him today.
"The idea," said Kearns, "is to get
a bout. Harry Wills, Bill Brennan,
Bob Roper. Tommy Gibbons-any of
them that seeks it-can have a crack
at Jack. A Wills fight has been most
talked of but the promoters do not
seem to warm up to the idea"
Dempsey is now In Los Angeles
and viii come to New York. Kearns
said, II he is needed Only in case
negotiations fail for titular bout in
the United States, will Jack take q
fling In Europe.

There have been few great ball
teams that have lacked high class
men at short and second.
Pitching Is conceded by most ex-
perts to be 70 per cent OF teams
strength. There is no denying the
great value OF pitching.
Pitching, however. does not get
very far without good inner de-
Tense. Such a defense is impossible
without crack men at short and sec
ond.
The Cubs, in the days Of Frank
Chance, had Tinker at short and
Evers at second. That was some
pair around the keystone sack. The
Chicago Cubs was one Of the great
est teams Of all time.
Take the Philadelphia Athletics
when that team was at its best. Jack
{ Barry was doing the shortstopping,
I Eddie Collins was at second. No two
players ever worked together better
than Barry and Collins.
Without a question shortstop is
the most difficult position on the ball
field. A good shortstop must not
only have ability but brains as well.
There was never great shortstop
3 who couldn't think.
sS A Majority of the plays on the In
4 field have the shortstop figuring in
their execution. Little things often
y lose ball games. Many a game ie
4 lost because of the failure to properly
q execute double plays.
Il The double play feature IS what
makes the positions of shortstop and
4 second base so important. Last sum
sIner I saw a score OF games lost be-
cause of the failure to complete .
double play that would have retired
the side.
III All Of which leads I'D to the rea-
son why the Washington club should
be a factor in the American League
race this season. It Is strong a.
short and second.
The acquisition of Peckinpaugf
makes Washington O. contender
There is no better shortstop IL
either major league than Peckin
inpaugh. Stanley Harris at SECOND
need bow to no one but Eddie Col
Inns.

Sportsmen who have been taking

TOday'S Sport Angle

Brute strength is not essential to
success in athletics.
Dick Kerr, one of the most valuable
pitchers in the American League, is
the smallest pitcher in the organiza-
ton.
For years big league managers re-
fused to consider him because of his
size, despite the remarkable success
he had In the minors.
He got his chance to show in the
majors only after irving his ultima
turn to his minor league employer
that he would have to be sold to a
big league team or he would retire.
Kerr was sincere in his intention.
His club owner k. ew it. Kerr was
sent to Chicago on the approval
basis. 1t was felt that he would
'flivver" and soon be back in dear
old Milwaukee.
Kerr knew his own worth better
than all the scouts and big leag"e
experts. He made good from the
very start. 1t would take a lot of
money to pry him loose from the
Chicago club.

Glenn Killinger.. the sensation Of
the football world last season. is
another example of the theory that
size does not mean great deal.
Killinger had the hardest time
imaginable getting his high school
coach to even let him don a football
suit. He was regarded as far too
light for likely football timber.
In his final year at Harrisburg
high school, his persistence more
than any thing else won place for
him on the varsity team.
Knowing he was off size Killinger
constantly worked to develop the
strength that nature had given him
to its highest degree.
He went to Penn State. His size
at first caused him to receive only
ordinary consideration. 1t did not
take him long. however. to convince
Coach Bezdek of his remarkable
ability.
In his final year at Penn State,
