MARQUETTE IS
PROUD OF
RECORD
Football Team Loses Less
Than One Game Over
Eight-Year Record

MILWAUKEE,. Wis, Jan. a.
In the last eight seasons Marquette
University football teams have lost
but seven games, and in that time
they have. scored 1874 points to
their opponents EOS, thus estab-
fishing themselves among the lead
ing gridiron performers OF the ma
ton.
Beginning with the season Of 1917,
when the Hflltoppers turned in
eight victories and one tie game,
the path to victory has rarely been
INSTRUCTED. In that time, forty
nine games have been won and six
tied.
Among the victims of the Golden
Avalanche Of this and recent years
were Beloit, the strong Great Lakes
team of 1917, Haskell Indians, st.
Thomas, Boston College, Navy, De-
troit, Wabash, North Dakota, South
Dakota, South Dakota State, Law
renee, Ripon, John Carroll, Carroll,
Michigan Aggies, st. Louis Univer-
sity, Chanute Field and the Uni
versity Of Vermont.
Teams which succeeded In de-
feating Marquette were such we'll
known aggregations as Notre Dame,
Haskell Indians, Detroit, Wisconsin,
Creighton and Boston College. and
1t is to be noted that four Of these
six have been defeated in other
contests with the Golden Avalanche.

Too Much Moonshine and

Frank Isbell, Of the old Chicago
White Sox, and one Of the most
colorful OF the ancient basebaflers,

yarns is worth repetition. IsbelI
q few years back was managing
and owning the Wichita, Kan, club
in the Western League. Things
were breaking badly, and the club
was In last place. They hit bottom
with a thud and decided to make
permanent foundations thereto.
In desperation Isbell wired every
where for help. Finally he was
tipped off to a pair Of good ball
players in Chicago. Joe Tinker gave
him the info. IsbeI landed both
players and they reported
Tinker. in. all fairness, warned
1sben that both men were rather
fond Of moonlight and moonshine.
They reported at Omaha. IsbelI
dinned them lavishly, assigned them
to the best room in the hotel and
popped up
When things were breaking badly
early and taking long hikes. Next
morning he followed his usual Gus
tom. AS he returned to his hotel
he saw his latest acquisitions sitting
in front Of the hotel at s a. m.
WELL" he said. 'I'm mighty
glad to see you boys up this early.

WESLEYAN TAKES TOUGH
TEXAS ELEVEN. 9 TO ,

DALLAS, Tex, Jan. 2.-The two
year winning streak of the South
ern Methodist University was
broken wide open by the West Vir-
ginia Wesleyan eleven when the
gay young men from the mountain
Gus State crashed through and over
the line for a to victory.
Wesleyan should have hell the
Texans scoreless and but for a
freak play would have. A 2orwerd
pass was knocked from a passer's
hands before he got it off, and the
ball was accidentally kicked over
the line, where it was fallen on for
touchdown. The referee ruled
that 1t was a free ball and not an
inCOmpleted pass. The Bob Cats
had better passing game and
with Bullman, who was picked by
some critics for all-Americon,
plugging the line was much the
better at gaining.

that Scotty turned down Krauss

This ball, incidentally, is a priced
possession. "It is a world record

would tell an interesting story,

away without glory and at least
one mans share Of the prize

His greatest feat, and one thai
placed his name in the record books,
was turned on February 3, 1908, in
championship competition. He shot
scores of 266, 800 and. 220 for an
average of 266. It was a colorful
performance. In it Scotty rolled
eighteen consecutive strikes.

feats him. He has that to think
about, and he Is a player who is a
lot more likely to be affected by
outside influences than Hoppe, who
is one Of the coolest propositions
that ever stepped to a table.
To take up the second PROPOSE
ton: Hopes gain will be entirely
a gain in prestige. He cannot win
Cannefax's title in actually, but he
will be the acknowledged three
cushion leader Of the world If he
finishes in front Of Cannefax. He
will have but one field left for
conquest, and there are many who
say that with a little practice he
could lift the pocket billiard crown
from Ralph Greenleaf or any Of the
present crop OF pool players. He
recently defeated Greenleaf in q
mixed match, part pool and part
billiards.
The result Of Hopes three
cushion venture, as reflected by
his balkline game, is something
Tor the future to decide. He viii
start practicing Tor the internae
t1OnaI tournament soon after his
matches with Cannefax and the
outcome OF that tourney win
show the effect of his phiIander-
ing with the other games.
In his recent matches with
Young Jake Schaefer It is said that
there were no i'll effects noted as
a result Of his campaign among
the three-cushion players. Played
as the experts play it, three-cushion
should not have a very serious
effect on a champions balkIine
game. There is not nearly SO
much cannonading when two stars
are playing as when a couple OF
tyros get at it. English and
knowledge Of the right amount of
force necessary to accomplish a
given result, and only just enough
are made to do for an expert what
main strength sometimes does for
q beginner.
General opinion is that Hoppe
will win. He is sometimes beaten
In exhibition matches even at his
own game, but the fingers of one
hand will just about take care of
the times that Hoppe has been the
under dog at the end Of q money
match. He is a. bear for punish
ment under heavy fire.
If Cannefax wins from Hoppe an
ideal sticker to paste into derby
hats is the little fact that Robert
Cannefax is some three-cushion
player.

The chief interest, or rather con-
troversy, among the fans seems
to center about three premises.
First, Of course, who viii win?
Second, should Hoppe win, what. If
anything, viii he gain? Third.
won1d HapDe,s game OF 4balkIine be
affected by the three-cushion game !
A categorical answer to the first
question is possible. Having seen
both players at the pest of their
form at their respective games and
having watched Hoppe play three
cushion billiards., it is hard to
see any other answer than that
Hoppe will win.
Not only is this answer based
on Hopes mechanical ability,
but on his better strategic posi-
ton i'm the affair. He has proved
cOncIusively that tl1ree-cusI1iOn
carOms have no fears for him.
He seems as much at home I'm the
harder hitting game as he is I'm
the delicate strOking Of ballkIi1c.
He has executed runs and aver
ages that no champion would
need to be ashamed of, and his
technique Is above reprOach.
His psychological advantage lies
in the fact that he has nothing at
stake. Not even prestige. Losing
prestige presupposes that one has
it to lose. Hoppe, as a three
cushion player, has little or no
prestige. Only recently he actively
entered this field and he wears no
title. Cannefax is faced, not with
the loss Of his title, but the loss of
his hOnors. His title will be but an
empty name If Hoppe decisively de-
