this week, in the person of John
Daniel. I'd. champion circus gorilla.
when the animal stood on the brink
of hotel roof and began to drum"
Extending his brawny arms, John
began beating upon his powerful
chest, making the peculiar rrmbling
note often heard by explorers, but
practically never heard in this coun-
try. John being the only one of his
kind"
John Daniel travels with Miss Alyce
Cunningham, who cares for him on
an entirely different plan from that
which resulted in the death of the
other two gorillas ever seen in
America
John travels in a stateroom, goes
to and from the circus where he
earns his living, in a specially built
motor car. and is given plenty OF
fresh air and never subjected to
artificial heat.

Fandom gets Il greater thrill out

A lazy fly ball that just man

It's cruel but true that Babe
Ruth home runs have distinctive
appeal. No doubt because he was
the originator of the homer run idea

E=sBilly
ElEXEaliS
Says

While Coach knute Rockne isn't
claiming any football titles, the cX-
pcrts have conceded that his Notre
Dame team is champion of the
universe.
Rocknc's protegcs have gone
through Il tough season without the
blemish of defeat. 1t is doubtful
ii ever Il college, team faced a hard
CT schedule than the 1924 itinerary
of the Fighting Irish.
A majority of the games were
played away from home and the
leading teams from every section Of
the country were met.
While the regular schedule of
Notre Dame has been completed,
perhaps the biggest test of the sea-
son awaits them. Stanford is to
be met Jan. in the feature game
of the Tournament of Roses.
1t is football history that playing
under coast climatic conditions an
eastern team is at a decided handi
cap. Coaches OF eastern teams that
have played coast games say the
players are only Is per cent eff
cjent.
In season that has been replete
with form reveNals, it would oc-
casion no great surprise if Stan
ford further upset the dope.
Knute Rockne has said that a
team must be keyed up to the high
est pitch to do its best work on the
gridiron. He also says it is prac-
tically an impossibility to keep up
the emotions after a big game.
1t is precedent that team lets
acwn after reaching top form. Per-
haps Rockne's theories explain why
Princeton, team that looked like
a world-beater against Harvard, was
just ordinary against Yale.
Rockne explains the unusual sue
cess of his 1924 team by saying the
players regarded every game on the
schedule as the high spot, all the
same, just days work.
1t will be meeting Of the master
minds of football when Notre Dame,
coached by Rockne. meets Stanford,
directed by the resourceful Warner.
These two great coaches have been
the brains back of much that is
worth while in football. Many of
the innovations that have been in
troduced into the game are credited
to Rockne and Warner.
Warner, in his first year at Stan
ford, has met marked success. His
team is generally credited with be-
ing the Pacific coast champions, al
though the title is bit shrouded.
Both California. last years title
holder, and Stanford have clean
slate. In most sports champion
is champion until he is beaten.
California has been tied but not
beaten.
As matter of fact, the awarding
of the title by the experts to Cali
fornia is based on the fact that Cali
fornia was twice tied, while Stanford
only once, by California.
Then there is the question about
the eligibility of Cleaveland, Stan
ford's star. 1t is alleged he has
played more than the regulation
three years.
The coast championship may not
be definitely settled until the meet
ing Of the Coast Conference. How
ever, if Stanford beats Notre Dame
the coast will have the right to make
noise like champions.
