SOUTH CHURCH
 BY BIG MARGIN
Takes Eagles Into Camp to
 Tune of 27-1O

The South Church ran it's winning streak to three games on New Years Eve by running away from the Eagles, 27 to 10. The winners out passed and outguarded their oppon- ents all the way and were never in danger. They started with a rush and ran up points before the Eagles could score, F,ricson finally breaking through 10 sink a follow up shot, while Shepard followed with one from well back in the court Meanwhile, however, Adams, Parker and Cooley were sliding shots in in quick succession, and the score at the half was 14 to 4.
 The Eagles showed signs of life in the third quarter when Shepard, who featured for the loosers. made three long shots in rapid fire order, but then the South Church defense frightened and the losers were unable to score further. The feature shot of the game was a onc-handed throw by Parker from the corner of the court.
 The South Church for the first time this year exhibited a good de- fense, the Eagles having to content themselves with standing off in mid floor and taking pot shots. at which Shepard proved proficient. Kilduff and kleist kept the floor near the basket cleared of opponents through
 out the game and rarely moved up the floor to take shots. Romenici and McNamara also played hard defensive game, but snappy passing got the ball past them regularly. Both teams were weak at foul shooting The Sonth Church made good tries out of II. and one of these was disaIlowed by Referee Aronson, while the Eagles failed in all three attempts from the free throw line.

 Thereby the Pacific coast football elevens gained an equal contests and repulsed an equal number of invas- ions since intersectional warfare was started in earnest ten years ago.

ey The Associated Press.


 Berkeley, Calif., Jan, 2.--The Uni- versity of California football team, undefeated five consecutive years, gained additional honors yesterday when 1t defeated the University of Pennsylvania eleven, rated as one of the best on the Atlantic coast, by @ score of If to 0. More than S0,0O0 persons saw the Californians out class, out-run and out-kick the Pennsylvanians. .r'..
 The first touchdown was scored within seven minutes after the game started. The Quaker players inter fered with Inlay, on fair catch on the Pennsylvania forty yard line, No one touched the ball, so Dixon pick ed 1t up and ran 2S yards to Penn's IA yard line, where he was forced out of bounds. Three line plunges by John Young showed over the touch- down and Carlson kicked the goal. The second and third periods were scoreless, with Penn displaying it's greatest strength in the third.
 The Californlans were able to withstand Penn's famous passing at- tack in the fourth period when they broke 1t up and left the Quakers wondering. Taking the ball on downs after breaking up several Penn overhead attacks on the Call fornia 45 yard line, the western team swung into an offensive once more.
 The Californians on four bucks through the center of the Quaker line carried the ball to touchdown. The last plunge of ten yards was made right through Mckinley, the famous All-American tackle of the Quakers. Carlsons goal kick for California added the fourteenth an( final point of the game.

CLOSE SQUEAK FOR
 NATIONAL GUARDS
Foul Shooting Decides Tough
 Contest With West Sides

The National Guards had their closest call of the season last night when they barely nosed out the West Sides of Hartford, 2S to 27, in a great battle in the Hopkins street gym in that city. Keen eyes from the foul line decided the contest when the West Side defense became impenetreble, the Guards making good on 12 tries from the free-throw mark. while the Hartford players missed again and again. sinking only 5.
 The locals started as though they would make as short work of their opponents as they have in previous games this year. Carl Restella grab bed a pass and started the scoring, and the Guards continued to pile up a lead until finally Sturm got away and made the West Sides first points. Mert Taylor then gave a pretty exhi- bition by dribbling through the en- tire opposing team and scoring on backhand toss. The West Sides, who were playing together for the first time in two weeks, took some time to get properly adjusted, but when they started they slowly crept up on the locals, the half ending with the Guards hanging on to a r to 14 lead.
 In the second period the West Sides presented an nnfathomable de- fense, and Red" Reynolds was tha only Guard who could get through, the fiery-topped forward making the only two field goals chalked up by the locals in the whole second half The West Sides, meanwhile, were go- ing at full steam and made good six tries, but their foul shooting was SC much inferior that they were unable to run up a lead until near the fin- ish, when they were a single point in the van. 27 to 26.
 At this critical juncture Murphy fouled Reynolds. and the New Brit. ain forward, with the skill which he and his mates had shown all eve ming on free throws, tied the score with his first try and then sent the Guards into lead by sending his sec ond attempt through the cords There were only two minutes of play left, and. despite savage attack the West Sides failed to tally again

PRIDE OF CONNECTICUT H
 SEEKING GROWN TONIGHT
Kid Kaplan of Meriden En- ters Ring a Favorite Over Kramer, But Latter Is a Tough Boy and Fast Fighter.
By The Associated Press.

 New York, Jan. 2.--Danny Kra- mer of Philadelphia and Louis (Kid) Kapan of Meriden, Conn.,. are re- ported ready for their featherwcight championship clash in Madison Square Garden tonight. They must weigh 126 pounds or less at the of- llces of the state athletic commis- sion this afternoon.
 Kramer entered the tournament as the favorite among sporting writ CTS and in his first bout, with Mike Dundee of Rock Island. H., manag- ed to obtain a decision although the shout from the crowd appeared to indicate a disagreement with the judges. Dundee's manager, Dick Curley, was so incensed at the yer dict that he attacked Referee Patsy Haley. He has been barred from New York boxing circles.
 Kaplan conquered Bobby Garcia, the Mexican contender from Camp Holabird, Md, in the first battle of the eliminations, but not decjsively. | He earned his victory by loosing an onslaught in the final round that proved too strong for his opponent. kaplan, however, kncked out Jose Lombardo of Papana in the semi finals after the Isthmian had de- feated Lew Paluso of Salt Lake City. who barely made the weight.
 In the semi-final to the Kaplan- l.ombardo match, Dundee met Gar cia, although this was not part of the tournament, and administered a sound thrashing to the soldier, win ming by a much larger margin than that obtained by Kaplan over the same man. Kramer drew bye this time, and will face the Connecticut representative tonight with six weeks rest behind him, while his opponent will have had only three.
 kaplan's vicious left handed at- tack, which sent down Lombardo, came as revelation and caused the only Knockout of the tournament. Lombardo's manager said at the time that the Panaman had suffered an ill spell just before he entered the ring.
 Kramer, recognized hitter and an expert in the art of jabbine with the left hand, ~il face a nashy. furious gladiator. The Philadelphian possesses a longer reach which may cause trouble if his opponent can be kept away. Thus far neither of kaplan's opponents has been able 10 keep the Meriden man at distance and the tattoo of his left hand has won his way to victory
 Large groups of partisans from the home cities of the combatants are expected at the rlngsde and the tConnecticut delegation promises to bring band behind which they can

Rockne's Men Outplay and Outwit the Westerners- Leyden Plays Remark able Game, Running 65 and 70 Yards for Two T0uchdOwns.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Pasadena, Calif., Jan. 2.-Notre Dames -four horsemen" rode ruth lessly over Stanford university's bulk fer eleven yesterday and a 27 to 10 victory gave added weight to the South Bend, Ind, teams claim of national football honors,
 East out-witted West. Notre Dame was always where Stanford should have been, but was not.
 By the rules of football mathe- matics Stanford should have won. Coach Glenn Warmers men gained 1S4 yards from scrimmage; Knute Rockne's swift South Renders gained lS4. The Cardinals registered IT first downs, Notre '. Stanford com- pleted 12 of II attempted forward passes; Notre Dame of 2. Notre Dame netted only AS yards with for ward passes; Stanford gained 146. Rockne's men were penalized four times for a total of 30 yards, while Warmers suffered but single 15 yard penalty,
 Stanford's Error.
 But one mistake may wreck ton of statistics, and there were several Stanford mistakes. Notre Dame took advantage of all of them. The east ernes opened modestly. starting with second string men. Stanford showed that aggregation steadily nstern until Rockne whistled for his "Horsemen." They trotted the field with their first string companions, but the first period netted a place kick for Stanford.
 In the second period Notre Dame scored by bucking the ball over. Layden carried it, and it was Notre Daue's only touchdown due to driv- ing ability. Crowley failed to convert.
 70 Yards To Line.
 After that Stanford's mistakes opened the door of opportunity Lay den intercepted Stanford pass and sprinted seventy yards to a. touch- down. In the third period Solomon, Stanford quarterback, fumbled q punt on his own 20 yard line. Hunt singer picked up the pigskin and ran to touchdown.
 In the same period Stanford scored for the last time when Walker passed the ball over the line to Shipkey after Nevers had bucked to Notre Dame's eight yard line.
 Stanford came close to another touchdown in the fourth period but lest the ball on downs less than a foot from the goal.
 65 Yards for Goal.
 Then came another Cardinal error and again Layden made the most of it. He intercepted a pass and gal loped 65 yards for Notre Danes final touchdown.
 Never's line bucking made him the star of the Cardinal offense. Layden's s spectacular runs out-shone any other individual performance on the Notre Dame side. Harry Stuhlreher, the All-American back, was handicapped by twisted ankle.

 One of the greatest right handed hitters in the game, yet unable to win a regular job.
 That is the status of Riggs Stephenson of the Cleveland Indians, who wields as mean mace as there is in the American league.
 Stephenson came direct to the Cleveland club from the University of Alabama. It was at once appar- ent that he was natural batter.
 Without any previous professional experience he took to major league pitching just as if facing the regu- lar assortment of college stuff. Stephenson made his debut as . selond baseman. He still steps around at that position, but he's no more firmly entrenched as a regular than the day he joined the club. Possibly not as much. Arm Injury Handicaps
 An arm injury as a youngster has probably been his greatest handicap as an intielder. His arm isn't weak but his style of getting the ball away is not just suited to a second sacker.
 In the parlance of the diamond Stephenson must wind up before cut ting loose with the ball. In other words he must go overhead to throw 1 with speed and accuracy. | It's just the second, or fractional part of a second, lost in making the sweeping arm motion that has held the Alabama collegian back as an infeldcr.
 Experts have computed that more ball games are lost by failure to complete double plays than should have been successfully executed than any other feature of play.
 Loses Double Plays
 That's Stcphenson's greatest fault as second baseman, inability to get the ball away quickly. thereby losing a double killing that often means the ball game.
 At one stage Of his career Man. ager Speaker shifted Stephenson to third but with only varying success Apparently Speaker was not satisfied as he was only used at third for a very limited time.
 During the flag end of last season Stephenson was used in right field for Cleveland. If there is one posi-. ton "S.ephie" ought to master it's the Cleveland right field.
 II is a short field that does moi call for any great ability in going out after a ball, because of the limited playing space. It is q known . fact that a fly ball on which tho fielder must come in is the easiest kind of a catch.
 Short Right Field
 In Cleveland the right fielder usu ally plays with his back 10 the wal regardless of who is hitting. He i. 1 always set to come in
 Incidentally it is never possible {, take more than one base on ground ball that goes through him the short wall backs up every play. A player who can hit the old appI, like Stephenson is a big asset in tn, . regular lineup. That is why Man agor Speaker is trying to find a spo for him. Perhaps it's right field.
