There Is absolutely no question rs

he would take to the back of the

to him until today he stands as the
greatest exponent Of the all-court
game in the history of lawn tennis.
In 1918 Tilden first came into

Championship Set
Stanford and California Each
TO Keep Trophy Six
Months.

New York, Jan. 3.-At Its recent
meeting the Pacific Coast conference
did the only thing it could do about
the football championship. 1t voted
that California and Stanford had tied
and that each would keep the cham.
pionship trophy for six months.
In the future the title will be de.
cided as it Is in the Western confer
ence, on a point system. with two
points for a victory and one for a
tie. Had this system been followed
this year, Stanford would have won,
as California was tied twice.
The schedules approved by the con.
ference show two important inter-
sectional games.
On October II, Washington will
meet Nebraska at Lincoln.
On November 81, Iowa will play
Southern California at Los Angeles.
The schedule extends all the way
to December 5, when Southern Cali
fornia will entertain the Oregon Ag-
gies. California and Stanford will
meet on November 81. Neither will
play Southern California. One of the
features is a Stanfords dsWashington

INDIAN POLO TEAM
TO PLAY ENGLISH

London, Jan. 3.-0ne of the most
attractive features of London polo
next season promises to be the visit
OF the maharaja of Jodhupr's team,
composed of brilliant native players
who are sure worthy to uphold the
prestige of Indian polo.
1t has been suggested that the
Jodhpur team Is one which might
give the American international four
good game. But that view is not
shared by those hwo know the fern
in both countries.
THE Americans" declares one au-
thority, would hustle the Indians off
their strokes. Jodhpur and Patiala
are so immeasursbly superior to most
teams IN India that they are rarely
stretched. Consequently, they lack
stamina"
In any case It may safely be pre-
dicted that Jodhpur will want a lot
Of beating by London teams.

uled 1s-round battle in Newark, n. j.,
Wednesday night. This bout Is the
headliner OF bill OF splendid pugilis-
tic conflicts offered to patrons of box
ing in the United States this week,
on which viii appear four kings of
fistiana. The other two, are Gene
Tunney, American light heavyweight
champion, who meets Hugh Walker
Of Kansas City i'm Miami, Fla, and
Harry Greb, middleweight king, who
will clash with Bob Sage in Detroit.
For the first time i'm the history of
boxing, welterweight has what may
be considered good chance to also
become leader in a division two
weights above his own. 1t will be Il
strange thing if Walker is successful,
but no welterweight will ever have n
better opportunity.
Walker Real Champion.
Walker, the greatest welter king
since the reign of Mike Twin Sui
livan In 1907, is by far the best man
at his weight. capable of beating
many middleweights, while McTigue
is not the best of the light heavy
weights, is slipping fast and Is due to
lose to the first really great fighter
he meets, although it may take one
larger than Walker to turn the trick.
This is the very obvious reason why
this is such a rare opportunity for the
Ekillful slugger from Elizabeth, n. j.,
whose rise to the top in fistiana has
been of the meteoric type.
The most interesting thing about
this match is comparison OF the
sizes Of the two men. Thus the fol-
lowing table will be worth studying:

vantages of McTigue. He has an
edge Of 20 pounds in weight. five
Inches in height and seven inches in
reach. These are worth a great deal
In boxing contest. although they
are not always of sufficient value to
win. Walker has the advantage OF
youth, that priceless thing that has
won many an athletic contest where
the contestants were anywhere near
evenly matched in other respects. In
some measurements Walker Is even
larger than McTigue. They show
that he is Of a different build, more
.Btocky and thus more rugged than
his foe
Unless all the available dope or
the two men is wrong Walker can
take more punishment than his oppo
nent, can punch harder and surely Is
as game as any man in the boxing
game today or he would not entertain
notion that he can win the title
in division so far above his own In
poundage.
The one disadvantage McTigue
will have is that his hands are not
as strong as they once were and
thus cannot stand the strain OF
hard punching. All the power he
dare put into his punches may not
be enough to floor n man Of Walk
er's type, whose skill, generalship
and experience will enable him to
form splendid defense for the at
tack of the larger fighter.
Walker has never met a man as
large as McTigue and II will take
him round or two to get aceus-
TONED to fighting one so tall. but
the weiter leader is snpremely conf
dent, according to dispatches from
his training camp, Of planting a
right hand wall0p against the chin
OF McTigue--his favorite blow--and
upsetting not only the lightweight
king, but creating the greatest mp
set known to modern pugiIism by
taking the title In n division two
notches above his Own--somcthing
no other fighter has been able to do.
Surely McTigue does not have any
idea that this can occur or he woult
not accept the match. He has beer
dodSeng Harry Greb. Gene Tunney
Tommy Gibbons and one or two mort
good fighters for long time because
he was afraid of losing his title should
he meet a worthy opponent. He has
taken on fourth raters in order te
keep the bank roll rep1enished, and
Is meeting Walker merely because hs
does not believe fighter 20 pound,
lighter than himself can beat him.
Should Walker win the title he will
not hold It long with such men as
Gibbons, Greb, Tunney and Smith II
the field, but II will at least serve {,
take 1t away from n man who refuses
70 defend It.
Betting on the bout naturally
favors McTigue, because gamblers
believe the crafty old fighter who
took the title by olngenersling Bat
Ting Sikh, c0nqueror Of Georges
Carpenter, will be able TO keep ont
Of the way Of the punches Of Walk
er and stay through the IL rounds.
IT he is outpointed he will retain his
title because OF the no decision box
ing law Of New Jersey. A knockout
Is not expected, but stranger things
have happened. Surely, Walker Is
going to put forth every effort to
win by the knockout route, because
he Is being given such an oppor.
