WALKER TOTES
NO STTNGER IN .
HIS PUNCHING
Gets Another Chance
at Britton's
Title.
BY FAIR PLAY.

Copyright. 1922, by The Argus.)
Princeton, N. j., Oct. 27.-The writ
er gave Mickey Walker the once
over today. Mickey is in training
near here for a battle against Jack
Britton for the worlds welterweight
championship on the night of Nov.
at Madison Square Garden.
Mickey and Jack met a year ago
and the Jersey man landed one fine
wallop that made Jack see stars.
Britton, however, behaved as a
champion should and while he did
not hurt Mickey to any extent, he
slapped the challenger around and
with the exception of that one wal
lop kept the scoring of points
against himself to a minimum.
Now comes Walkers great
chance. There are those who say
that the Jersey fighter is due right
now and that he will annex the
title in Jig time. But the writer is
not SO sure that Walker was not at
his peak when he met Britton be-
fore. Mickey may be better now
than last year but the writer has to
be shown on that point. As hard
as Mickey wades in and wallops.
he seldom puts ANYONE away.
Watching him carefully today the
answer was clear. There is no
singer on the end of his wallops.

any Eridiron contest ever playa
there. The impending battle la
united that whole section in til
hope-and the belief-that then
style of football will demonstrst
once again its superiority over lid
eastern brand.
AT the same time alumni d
eastern universities living in I'd
west, especially those of Yals
Harvard and Princeton, have gath
cred beneath the Orange and Blac
banner and are demanding that d
eastern representatives prove I'll
claims they have made cOncerninl
the relative merits of football u
the two sections. ParentheticaNj
it may be remarked that the nj

encounters in the middlewest
pretty largely due TO these ovg1
ardent western alumni OF easter
institutions whose attitude t0waHI
the football teams of the section
which they live is likely too ni

PEARCE WITH
BEARS AGAIN
Star Quarterback RejGins Club
After Baseball Season on
the Coast.

Chicago, Oct. Manager George
K;.as of the Chicago Bears has
signed up Walter (PardD Pearce,
quarterback of the Staleys last fall
and former Pennsy star, and he
will play the game against the Can
ton Bulldogs at the Cub park Sun
day. "Pard" has just come from
Sacramento, where he finished the
ball season in the Coast league as
shortstop for the Bees. He got a
tryout with the Chicago Cubs two
seasons ago at Pasadena.
He will alternate at quarter with
Joe Sternaman this season. Pearce
not only directs an eleven we'll but
is considered one of the best defen-
sive men in the league.
Canton is expected to be one of
the most dangerous opponents the
Bears will have to face all season.
They not only have a Unbalanced
array of regulars but also come
loaded with a capable bunch of
utility men.

WATERLOO ADDS
new Grid STARS
Powerful Football Combination Is
Coming Sunday to Moline
to Meet Indians.

Waterloo Athletic club, which is
scheduled to meet the Moline In
dams at Browning field Sunday aft
ernoon, has added two new players
during the week, according to
word from Waterloo today.
Dewey Moss, tackle, formerly
played with Iowa State college at
Ames and during his high school
days was chosen all-state tackle.
The other new man is Holder,
quarterback, who is regarded as
unique in football circles at this
position on account of his. great
weight. He tips the beam at 22O
pounds. Holder formerly played
with Centre college, Danville, Ky.
The game is slated to start at 8
O'Clock and tickets are selling at
81 each. A large crowd is expect

GREENHOUSE TO
BATTLE H. A. c.

The. Greenbush and the Hebrew
Athletic club football teams will
clash at o'clock Sunday afternoon
at Douglas park. Both teams are
evenly matched, although the He
brew team will outweigh the Green
bush slightly.
Last Sunday the Greenbush and
the Junior Independents played a
scoreless tie and a Sunday previous
to this game the Hebrew Athletic
club and the Juniors also played a
tie game. = The Greenbush have won
two and tied three games so far
this season, defeating both the Mo-
hawks and the Tigers and playing
the Junior Independents to a score
less tie. The Hebrew Athletic club
also boasts of a fine record already
established this year.

the biggest fray of the year with
determination to play the game OF
their lives. Their fighting spirit is
higher than thought possible and
they know that there is a big Job
before them.
The 40-piece Rock Island Boy
Scout band will be on hand to en-
terrain the early arrivals and to
furnish entertainment between
quarters. The band will add the
finishing touches to a truly great
scene.
| Moline with the greatest team in
. its history is confident that it will
! come out of the encounter victor
, ious. Practice at the Moline school
has taken the same note of serious
ness that has chara cterized the
training of the locals In perfect
condition the Moliners expect to
play even better than they have SO
far this year.
! Captain Hall of the locals is ex-
pected to be the outstanding de-
fensive star of the afternoon. The
giant Rock Island leader, thorough
/ ~ recovered from recent injuries,
can be counted on to fight tor his
team, with all his great strength.
His return to the game after three
/ weeks absence will help much in
the work of his men and is Just III"
hing needed to give the Islanders
confidence.
! The Crimson and Gold will be
+, outweighed by the Maroon and
White about four pounds to the
man. Ten of the Moline warriors
have had at least one year of ex-
perience and this is the fourth year
as regular for Captain Schmidt
of the Swedes.
The Moliners average seven
months older than the Islanders,
: but this is not factor in deter
mining a winner. 1t is no arguing
the fact that the invaders bring
with them a better record than the
home lads and this is the basis
of the Moline strength, as man to
man the Swedes are not much su-
perior to the Islanders.
1 How the Moliners will act if the
breaks OF the game go against
them is another factor that has to
be reckoned with So far this year
all things have come the way of
the Moiiners while conditions have
turned up just the opposite for the
Islanders. The condition of the Mo-
liners will be better than that of
the Rock Islanders as the Swedes
have had but few injuries this year
and all of these have been minor
affairs.
/ Capable officials have been Sc
cured for the games. H. V. Mil
lard, sporting editor of the Decatur
Review, and Little 10" college
official. the man who capably ref
creed the last years Moline-Rock
Island game, will again blow the
referees whistle. Schissler, for
mer Nebraska star, and now head
!. coach at Lombard college, will be
umpire. Schissler has recommend
ed Ralph Mitterling, former eastern
star college, and now in attend
ance at the Palmer school, as head
linesman and it is thought that he
will handle this end of the affair
to the satisfaction OF all.

Pre-Game Statements
Coach Kimmel saws:

COdcn hlmmel says.
Our team will play the best it
knows how. The boys will be
clean and they will fight to the last
whistle for their school. Some of
the experts have doped Moline to
win, but teams which are on the
long end of the dope have lost be-
fore. One thing is certain, the
game tomorrow will be a real bat
tie from start to finish"
Captain Hall says:
There is not much to say. We
will be in there battling all through
the game and the Moliners will have
a nice welcome when the first
scrimmage is under way. We are
going to spring a big surprise and
the winner may not be the team
that is generally picked to con-
quer."

New Haven. Conn, Oct. 27.-Yale
faces the Army game on Saturday
in a hopeful mood. The team has
not been hurried for this game Tor
reasons that VIII appear good and
sufficient when presented. The
coaches believe that the Els will
show state OF development which
is normal for this season of the
year, for an outfit that began the
season with no dazzling array of
talent and men in several positions,
positions whose fitness for them has
been manifested. The attack will
not be broad in scope-two of the
chief cogs in the offensive machine,
Beckett and O'Hearn will not play
but it promises to be better than
anything the team has yet shown.
The defense ought to be rugged and
discerning with perhaps a flaw at
one tackle and perhaps both.
Two things struck the writer
forcibly in the course of practice at
the Yale bowl on Thursday First
of all he was amazed by the way in
which Yale's rcputed array of
supermen dwindled into set of
strong, earnest young men, goodly
proportion OF whom have yet a
great deal to learn about football
Secondly, was the absu-dly lin
tied time allotted for practice. The
men appeared on the field, ready for
action at 2 o'clock. At $40. the
players were hurriedly dressing to
make the o'clock recitations. One
hour 10 minutes at day At Prince
ton and Harvard players take the
field at 2:30 or 3 o'clock and prac-
tice until darkness drives them to
the showers.
AS to material, Thursdays work

made-over end, the other below
the big team standard. There was
t young center who has yet to prove
his worth and only one back who
showed an adequate sense of the
defensive requiT ements of his posi-
ton. The ends looked fine and
there were plenty of them. The two
guards. Cross and Cruikshank, are
all right. Beckett and O'Hearn are
both coed triple threat men.
To revert to the time allowed for
practice it may be said that On
Monday such men as Hidden. HUI
man, Norris, O'Hearn, Lands and
Haas are not available at all
The feeling that men have been
I, injured through hard and incessant
scrimmages is utterly erroneous.

where the men are more consider

popular hangout yesterday. Casuai
inspection showed that the Dis

with short dashes, were not un-

bathers.
The warm weather drew out the
record crowd yesterday. ( Swimming
prevailed along the river also and
Rock Creek pools carried their
quota. The District no doubt has
some real speed stars in the water
sport and Il is up to some enter
rising promoters to give 'em a
chance.
