out again this week with battle with
Illinois on Tuesday and comes home

struggles carded in this State during
the two months of terrific competition

Although the Maroons looked far
from impressive, the Irvington team
showed that it had a good defense
with Wally Middlesworth and Bob
Nipper at the guard positions. The
freshman Nipper distinguished him

Windy City team.
Butler looked fairly good, although
all Of the players were inclined to miss
easy shots that might spell disaster

DEMPSEY RE|GNS

Jack Is About the Only Title

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The Most
High Dempsey begins the new year
as the only champion of pugilism and
perhaps the only champion in any
line of more or less athletic endeavor
whose reighn is threatened not at all.
In all other divisions of the fight
industry and in every other branch of
sport there is competition. The heavy
weight fighters are divided into two
classes-the Most High and All the

NEW YORK, Jan. IL believe
that If the Nation were thoroughly

Loyalty and real service--they are
the watchwords of the college football
player.
l should like to see one day the prin-
ciples of football fully applied to all
phases of national life, to commerce
and politics and to Government. Per
haps I shall never see that day, but
it Is gratifying to reflect that this very

the honorable ardor for completion
have attracted immense crowds OF

Of recent years, the vast public, hun
dreds of thousands Of people who
never played the game and who meag

of those admirable things which foot
ball signifies.
Tho spirit Of football regards an
opponent as a rival but not as an
enemy. 1t adhors subterfuge and
loathes all things Of questionable fair

The country may learn lessons from
the gridiron which will be of priceless

TAYLOR SURE Of
FLYWEIGHT BOUT
Manager Long Says Villa Scrap
Looks Like Certainty.

Eddie Long Of the Long-Kane box
ing managerial stable announced Sum-
day that the Bud Taylor-Pancho Villa
bout scheduled for Milwaukee Jan. 10
looked like a certainty.
Taylor has signed articles with Pro
moter Tom Andrews, Long announced,
and signed articles from Villa are said
TO be in the mails.
The Indiana bantam champion will
have to make 112 pounds for the scrap,
but he believes he can do it without
weakening himself. He weighed
413l5 Sunday and he said he felt as
though he could take two more pounds
off without going to extremes.
Villa is the flyweight champion of
America and Taylor wants the title.
Bud is rated a bantam, but he is am
bilious to annex the fyweight honors
for Hoosierdom.
The proposed Milwaukee bout will
be a no-decision affair. but Taylor
could win the title by a knockout or
technical knockout. The scrap is
scheduled for ten rounds.
Taylor was to meet Bonnie Vogel OF
Milwaukee in the Tomlinson Hall ring
card here today.

MINOR QUESTION
IN BENTON CASE
If Rube Is 'UncIean' Up There,
What's the Verdict?
BIZ United Netns

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The case Of
RUDE Benton, whispered out" Of the
major leagues, but permitted to play
with st. Paul in the American Associa-
ton, whence he has now been bought
by the Cincinnati Reds, probably will
be the subject of a fight in the Feb
ruary meeting Of the National League
club owners.
Although Judge Landas gave the
former Giants pitcher a clean bill of
health and permission to sign with the
Reds, it is now recalled distinctly that
Benton told John Heydler, president
of the National League, that he won
$500 on the fake world series Of 1879.
Benton later testified he won only $50
and It was on the strength OF this
story that lands let him come hack.
The big question raised by the Ben
ton case is, however, whether a
player considered "unclean" in the
majors shall be considered clean
enough for the minors as Benton was.

PASADENA, Cal. JAN Penn
State was to clash with the University
Of Southern California eleven in the
annual East and West football classic
at the Tournament of Roses today,
while the whole Pacific coast prayed
that u. S. c. would save coast football
from the ignominy of three straight
post-season defeats at the hands of
the East.
Some football fans were betting on
an answer to their prayers, 10 TO 3,
while others want even money. u. s. c.
was the first such betting favorite, as
the odds on the West Virginia. Con-
zaga and the Pitt-Stanford games
were a forecast of the results.
Sunday was day of rest for both
teams and Coach Hugo Bezdek Of the
Nittany Lions and Coach Elmer Hen
derson of the Troians took the occa-
sion to say their respective teams were
in the best Of condition and all set for
the big New Year battle. None of the
regular squad of either team was suf-
fering from injuries.
The $1,000 people who were expected
to see the game were to witness more
of a test of the relative merits Of
East coast and West coast football
methods than those at aturday's game
in Palo Alto. The Panther-Carinal set
TO. won by Pitt, 16 10 Z, pitted the
coaching of Pop Warner Of Pitt
agaist Pop Warner Of Stanford, Pop
being advisory coach for Stanford and
Coach Andy Kerr Of Stanford just be-
ing his deputy. Bezdek and Hender-
son, however, are regarded as typical
coaches of their respective sections.
The field was wet from intermittent
rains Of the last few days. Rain was
threaening again early today.
The Tournament of Roses parade
was to be held during the morning and
the game was to start at 2:ff15 p. m.
