NO LIMIT FOR
. FOOTBALL IN.
| SIGHT

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Dec. 1s.-Money
10 available for football almost with.
out stint in these days of million
dollar stadiurns erected to the ever.
increasing popularity Of the game,
but there was a time--less than thirty
years ago-when the University Of
Missouri players financed a quest for
laurels away from home by doing odd
jobs.
This year the Tigers will travel to
Los Angeles to play the University
OF Southern California Christmas Day
and It has been estimated unofficiaily
that Missouri will be enriched APP
proximately $4,000 by the trip.
The last time the Missouri eleven
ventured far from home was in 1896
and it was q different story then.
The Tigers Journeyed to Texas and
defeated the University Of Texas, 10
to 0. And won the championship OF
the South. Promoters Of Texas in
duced the team to 60 to Mexico City
. and play some exhibition games.
But in those days the Tigers were
not supported by an organized athletic
department and the team lacked the
money to, make the trip possible.

The "wild-eyed crazy nut" as
Johnson termed Judge Lands not
so long ago, rides supreme today.
He is, indeed, THE BASEBALL
COMMISSIONERS. He has an
iron-clad contract for seven years
at $4,000 a year. Within ten
days he has been given the back
ing Of the minor leagues and the
major leagues. He has triumphed
over Ban johnson in no unmis-
takeable manner.
The head Of the American
League now sinks into obscurity.
Now and then he will issue state
ments, such as those on the eve
of the coming campaign, or
praises or blame for this umpire
or that, but his days of cracking
the whip have gone forever.
Judge Lands, on the other
hand, has much to do. Knowing
that the general public trusts
him, he may proceed to do some
whip-cracking on his own Ac-
count. He is a Snowman at heart
and will probably miss no oppor-
tunity Of proving it.
Few sensible folks believe that
Cosy Dolan was alone when he
suggested to jimmy O'Connell to
talk to Heinie Sands, Of the
Phillies. "The man behind must
eventually be found. That is
the commissioners task. It is no
easy task, either, but Judge
Lands cannot afford to rest q
moment in his search. He wanted
supreme power, He has it. Now
let him use it.

BAN NOT TO
! OUT FOR
WHILE
Dignity Would Not Be Nour.
Ished If He Resigned Under
Present Attack


CHICAGO, Dec. 18.--AIone and
forsaken though he may be, re-
ports that Ban Johnson will re-
sign as president of the American
League as a result Of yesterdays
developments we're heatedly de-
MED by friends of the gentleman
in question. They were unanimous
in stating that johnson would
stick, in spite of the resolution
offered by the joint meeting of
the major leagues whereby John
son was shorn of his last vestige
Of power and the assurance given
Judge Lands that Ban would be
removed from baseball" the first
time he talked out of the corner
of his mouth.
johnson was inaccessible today ex-
cept to his immediate and personal
friends. To these, however, he gave
every indication that a resignation
at this time was farthest from his
thoughts. That he might step down
later was not denied even by the
strongest pro-Johnson men, Of which
there are still a few.
A committee composed of Connie
Mack, Tom Shibe and Clark Crit
fifth will wait upon johnson this
morning with message, the pur-
port of which has not been Ill
vulged. 1t Is said that they VIII
ask Johnson not TO resign. This.
II true, is quite without necessity.
Johnson's friends have made IL
clear that he will. not resign at this
time because he feels that his dig.
nifty will not be nourished by quit.
ting under fire.
Later, they intimated, when he
is firmly established and the pres
ent incident forgotten, johnson may
offer to step down for financial
consideration running into young
fortune. Johnson's contract at an
annual salary of $4,000 still has
six years to run.
But whatever, his ultimate decis
ion might be, baseball continued
to talk in silent, awed groups today
about the wholly unexpected sting
that the slap in the. face had car
ried. Johnson's enemies, who are
legion, said that no man could &C.
cept the rebuke in question and
again sit down IN the same room
with the men who wrote it. His
friends merely shook silent heads.
They made no attempt to DENY
reports that johnson and Charley
Ccmiskey had nearly come TO blows
during the. informal American
League meeting that preceded the
joint session yesterday. Their only
defense of the defeated car was
that he was goaded into physical
action by Comiskey's remarks.
They had to be separated, it was
johnson dug his own grave so
deep that we couldn't even attempt
to get him out" said ! prominent
club owner today.
This was the general attitude Of
the men who had signed the resolu-
ton which kept Lands in baseball
and made ribald jest Of John.
sons office.
That johnson had made many OF
the men who signed the document
was quoted by his friends in
criticizing this action His enemies
merely said that he had only got
what his remarks on the scandal
preceding the last world series had
merited.

CENTRAL SHOWS CLASS
IN LOSING CLOSE GAME

Bert Coggins, coach of the Cen.
trail High School basketball team
seems to have developed a formid.
able aggregation despite the loss u
most of his last years regulars
Bert wasn't so optimistic a while
back, but after his team showed
Gallaudet along at top speed, only
to lose ont 80 to 81, he revised his
opinion. The Gallaudet team was
composed entirely Of members OF
the varsity squad, so Central's de.
feat is not to be taken to heart.
Coach Coggins showed that he
had number Of high class sub.
stitutes. Macdonald and Banta,
Hale and Dean and others performed
creditably. Riddle, Gallaudet center
scored seven baskets. Central took

cUYoN's CHARGES EASILY
DOWN WINTON A. C. CUNT

Eastern's scrappy basketball team
found little trouble facing It when
the Winton hasketers invaded the
big gym. Coach Charlie Guyon used
everything but the baskets against
the Wintons and when the smoke
had cleared away, Eastern had a
long lead 20 to 8.
About all the game did for Eastern
Was to give It a chance for some
much needed scrimmaging against a
strange team.

UPRISING
Three Communities and Three
Universities Battle for
Supremacy
BY COPELAND L. EURG.

Los ANGELES, Dec. 1s.--A foot
ball war lis raging In California.
With four post-season tntersec-
tional tits arranged this season,
three universities ard three com.
Inunities are battling to determine
football supremacy.
The University Of California, at
Berkeley, just across the bay from
San Francisco, started things last
year when they scheduled game
New Year Day, 1925, with the Uni
yersity Of Pennsylvania. The Uni
versity Of Southern California fol.
lowed by scheduling game here
with Syracuse, while stanford
grabbed the Tournament of Ropes
game for January l, 1926, at Pasa-
dena, with Notre Dame.
Not to be outdone, the University
Of Southern California signed an
other game here for Christmas Day
with Missouri.
California asked Penn to play in
the new Stadium at Berkeley be-
cause IL was tired Of seeing all the
big inter-secti0Eaal games played
In Los Angeles.
The University Of Southern Cali
fornia, in permitting Stanford to
meet Notre Dame at Pasadena.
made no bones about scheduling
the Missouri clash Christmas Day to
offset the Pasadena game, claiming
the Los Angeles university had been
promised the Notre Dame game by
the Tournament of Roses committee.
The Community Development As
ISOLATION is backing the Los Angeles
school in its post-season games and
has announced two or even three
post-season games will be scheduled
for the University Ut Southern Cali
fornia every year. One game will
be played on Christmas and another
on New Year Day, with possible
third coming early in December.
All three Pacific Coast teams
will assume the role Of the under
dog" In the contests TO be played
during the holidays.
Stanford, although indicated on
the coast this year, is considered to
have slim chance to beat Knute
Rochne's Horsemen from South
Bend, Indiana.
The University of Southern Cali.
fornia suffered two defeats during
the regular season and Is looked
upon as unlikely to defeat the strong
Missouri eleven.
California, undefeated for five
wears, viii have an almost even
break with the powerful Pennsyl-
vania team when they battle at
Berkeley.
