EAST INVADES WEST
IN PENN STATE FORM

New York, Dec. 1s--Wirh the de-
| parture of Penn State tomorrow the
| east will be moving in good sized
muse upon California in what has be-
come an established annual invasion
Three large intersectiQnal games re
main to put the shroud on the far
western gridiron that was applied to
eastern fields several weeks ago.
West Virginia and Georgia, the
"Notre Dame" of California will fur
nish the first game at San Diego on
Christmas Day.
West Virginia is one of the few. un-
defeated teams of the east. The noun
taineers scored 232 points and allow
ed their opponents only Il. Puts
burgh, Washington and Lee, and In
diana were their most important VIC
tins.
Little is know of Gonzaga in the
east but it is becoming prominent III
coast football considering that the
college has been engaged in intercol-
legiate competition for only two
wears. Charles Dorafe, Notre Danes
all American quarterback in 1919 is
the coach and the team is typically
Notre Dame, featuring fast run
ming game and tendency to the ov-
erhead attack.
The student body is about 200 and
Dorain has only seventy-ave men in
the squad this year. The team ees-
tablished a good record however by
scoring 1919 points against its oppon-
ents 10.
Washington State was the only
team to beat it. Stckton, the Con
zaga back, is said to be one of the
best on the coast.
West Virginia looked fine in the
east although having light opposi-
ton. If Ganzaga plays like Notre
Dame the mountaineers may be sur
vived.
Pittsburgh finished with one of the
best teams in the east and Stanford
will have a big job when they meet at
Paio Alto on December so.
By arranging the game on their
regular schedule, Pittsburgh was en-
abled to almost point for the game
and coach Warner brought the squad
along slowly until they were getting
better every week. West Virginia
and Lafayette beat them in early
games but in beating Syracuse, Pen

DANGERS AVOIDED
IN AMATEUR PLAY

Charlottesville, Va, Dec. 1S.-Dan-
gers which threatened amateur ath-
letics in the South were avoided at
the meeting OF the Southern Inter
collegiate Conference held this month
in Atlanta according to DR.. George o.
Ferguson, Jr:, of the University of
Virginia, who was chairman of the
conference committee On constitution
and bylaws.
In this capacity DR.. Ferguson re-
ported all proposed amendments to
the conference. In his report to the
athletic council of Virginia he COM
Nmented on the fact that many news
papers reported what he had proposed
division Of the conference into sec
tons and the playing of champion
ship games. This amendment was
suggested by the University of Mary
land and Virginia joined the MAORI
ty of the colleges in voting against it.
DR.. Ferguson said that the summer

bate these questions were disposed OF
to the satisfaction of the colleges rep
presented
While retaining all the excellence
in preventing improper inducement of
athletes TO leave one college and enter
another some of the harsh provisions
of this rule were made less rigorous.
A student who goes from one school to
another is still barred from partici-
pating in any branch of sport in which
he played at his first school. but he can
take part in any form of athletics in
which he did not participate in the
college first attended.

SUGGEST CHANGES
IN B. B. RULES

New York, Dec. designations
for two radical changes in the baseball
rules came recently from st. Louis.
1t was suggested that free ticket
to the bases be issued on three balls
instead Of four balls, as at present,
and that three fouls on the third strike
should constitute an out
While there is nothing particular
ly wrong with the suggestion, any
adoption of the changes probably
would be opposed on the theory that
they are not needed.
Reducing the number OF balls to
three would only work handicap en-
pitcher and pitching is under enough
handicap now with the lively ball, the
freak rules, etc.
Making it an out Cor three fouls on
the last strike would not be of much

and some of the old timers tell how
John McGraw and the old Orioles us
ed to knock fouls '.by the hour" to
weaken the oppoSngS pitcher but it IS
done today because the batters are not
able to do it.
There is one thing of value in the
suggestion. 1t would speed up the
game and speed is surely needed. Too
many games last year ran two hours,
two hours and half ard three hours.
Some improvement could be made II
the umpires would keep after the
players bu+ the officials seem just IS
lazy themselves.
Club owners, privately if not for
publication, know that pitching IS un-
der too much of handicap and 1t is
understood that the umpires may be
instructed to permit the moderate MSS
of resin next year on the bail. Many
pitchers used it last season when tifes,
could get away with 1t and some o.
them did consistently.
When the pitching was TOO .good,
the popular demand was for plftinE

CONE BACKS, AS WELL
As BUSTS, IN 1922

New York. Dec. 1S.-Whlle the clos
ing year of 1922 win be remembered
long as a year OF upsets and go backs,
il was also year of some con1ebacks.
Many kings of sport became ex-
kings and suite few former leaders
in their line came back to the top.
( Comebacks are always more inter-
esting because they are so few. It's
! easy TO drop out of the race but it's
hard to get back in.
Willie Hoppe, who had reigned from
the time ne could reanh the tabe UNI
I'll late in 1921 as the king of billiards,
came back and his return 10 the throne
was the most popular accession OF the
year. Hoppe was defeated last year
by Jake Schaffer and in coming back
as champion this year, ne removed all
doubts as to his ability By finishing
! first in a field Of six of the worlds
best players.
Perhaps he isn't as great as ne once
was. Certainly he is not the sure,
confident artist of years ago, but
still he is the greatest player OF them
all.
Jack Scott, the big North Carolina
farmer, was the most remarkable
comeback of the baseball year. Scott
was slid out of the National League
and headed for the scrap heap on the
assumption that he had bad arm.
He worked the arm back in condi-.
ton, got berth with the New York
Giants, won eight games for them
and was one of the stars of the worlds
series.
"Reb" Russell, the old pitcher for
the Chicago White SoX, was another
noted comeback. The Rebel discover
cd h ecould bat and catch flies and he
came back as q sensation in the out
field with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
One could talk of Ty Cobb's great
comeback il ne had ever gone back.
Looks like he never viii go back.

Z Mika O'Dowd gave the ring not
able comeback when he came into
part ownership of the middleweight
championship, by winning from Dave
Rosenberg. The New York boxing
commission recognized Rosenberg as
.the champion and it now regards the
st. Paul hsppy and ex-ehampion as
the title holder.
O'Dowd's comeback may help to
Clarity the situation caused by the
suspension of Johnny Wilson. vii

full fighter but there is one bird that

did it twice and he. may do it again
1t wouldn't be a surprise 10 see HIM,
GO after O'Dowd.
Joe Lynch also pulled comeback by
regaining the worlds bantamweight
championship.

1921 could be taken as go back,
Nile. Suzanne Lenglen, the French
tennis scar and worlds woman cham
pion, was also a comeback She gave
