Henry Suzzallo Criticizes Alleged
Political Control of Education
In Washington.

"It is absolutely necessary that edu-

However, the higher the education the
closer it seems to be controlled by poll

the University of Washington, said at
a luncheon in his honor given by the
residents of the State Of Washington

Where the entire educational sys-

'HORSEMAN'
RIDES UP
San Francisco Host to
Elmer Layden, Report
Pa ed in East.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. o3.-Tbc
-Four Horsemen Of Notre Dame" may
he victims of one Of the first football
imposters on record.
San Francisco football circles we're
in turmoil today over the appear
ance of young man who claims to
be Elmer Layden. sensational fullback
of last years Notre Dame wonder
team and one OF the -Four Horse
men,"
In face of reports that the original
Layden played in professional foot
ball game last Sunday in the Eas;.
the statements of the visitor are SOM =
what doubtful.
Telegraphic inquiry Of Hartford
sources stated that the original Lay
den was the one who played in the
Eastern contest. The San Francisco
Iayden, who wears a NOtre Dame
football watch charm and speaks free
ly of Knute Rockne and his fellow
horsemen." went so far as to visit the
sports editor of the Call.
Adam Walsh. captain OF last years
Notre Dame team and present coach
Of Santa Clara. denied that Laydcn
was visiting in the West.
This Layden indicated that he
might agree to play professional foot
ball, and revealed that the -Four
Horsemen" had earlier this year
turned down a $4,000 contract to
play the professional game. This con
tract was for game in New York
City. and included the presence Of
Adam Walsh, last years captain sud
center of the NOtre Dame team.
Since that time Walsh became foot
ball coach of Santa Clara University.
Miller and Crowley are members Of
the Providence, r. l., Steam Rollers
professional football team, and Stuhl-
dreyer is playing professional football
in the East after having completed
successful year as coach Of an Eastern
high school.
Layden is the lone amateur, this
lad declares.
"I am not opposed 70 professional
football" said the enigma Notre Dame
fullback, land there is possibility
that / might weaken from my present
amateur stand. | haven't any great
desire for football, but II the price
was right and the others agreeable |
might take 10 It again."
Illness has been a contributing ele-
ment in keeping Lsyden out of pro
fessional football. He is now fairly
well on the way to good health. He
has spent most of his time since last
New Years Day in hospitals, and Is
in San Francisco taking treatments
for gridiron injuries.
That is his story, as told the writef.
He has kept his presence so much
secret that the Misses Peggy and
Helen O'Neill. friends Of the original
Iayden. knew nothing about his pres
ence here. although the visitor stated
that he has been in San Francisco
month. lie stated further that Rockne
nearly became coach Of U. 5. c. last
year:
hinder Rockne's plan his four back
field men were to have become his as
sistants," says Layden. I'VE were ali
to have taken positions in Los An
geles and assisted him in the after
Moons coaching during the spring prac-
tice and fall football season"

M'KENZIE NEWEST
HEAVY SENSATION
IN THE NORTHWEST

From the great fir forests near
Vancouver comes stories of the
pugilistic proves of one Wild Bill
Mckenzie, heavyweight. who is said
TO be greater in his possibilities than
Dempsey ever was.
This Wild Bill person, it seems,
was reared in the lumber camps Of
British Columbia. He had his first
fight over a bit Of salt pork that
another axswinger tried to steal off
his plate. The battle was n short
one. going just one sock and Bill
landed that sock.
Later on lumber jack tried to
cop Bills blanket, or his pet buck
saw or something, and that fight
was over in a hurry. News travels
slowly out Of the woods, but it soon
became known that Mckenzie was
a slugger and presently he made his
professional debut. He has won
half dozen fights, and now is under
the management of a Seattle man
who is wise in the tricks of the ring.
Wild Bill is headed East and may be
seen in some big bouts before 1926
flows along into eternity.

WASHINGTON ENJOYS
( BIG YEAR IN SPORT
SEATTLE, Jan. 9.-It was a grea

SEATTLE, Jan. 9.-It was a great
year, 1925, for the University OF
Washington on the athletic fields.
The Huskies won ten championships,
and the sports where the Purple and
Gold did not get first place it finished
close to the top, or where only the
meet was staged and no title at stake,
the Huskies won that, too.
That's quite a record for any uni
versity, but the athletes of Washing
ton are out to better 1t in 1926. They
will have to do some tall hustling to
beat this:
The Pacific coast conference foot
ball championship tie for the North
west freshman football title; the junior
varsity Intercollegiate crew title; the
Northwest conference track title; the
Northwest conference baseball title /;
the women's national intercollegiate
rifle championship; the mems national
intercollegiate rifle championship the
Northwest singles and doubles tennis
championship the Pacific Northwest
intercollegiate golf team title, and the
individual golf title won by Jack
Westlsnd.
Washington failed to win the inter-
collegiate crew classic at Poughkeepsie
this past summer, but the junior var
sity crew came in first and the var
sity eight gave tho Navy a mighty
close race. The Huskies camo in sec
ond.
But on the Pacific coast, the men
OF Rusty Callow beat California on
waters OF the Oakland estuary, strok-
ing the course TO a new record.

Miller Higgins, scurry from here to
Florida and back again, your Uncle
Wilbert Robinson hunts ducks, chews
tobacco and talks baseball. The friend

We saw him recently at the use

have a little chew right then for all

Tenpin King Clears as
Much as Stars Of
Other Sports. z

Our leading baseball players and
pugilists haven't got thing on Jimmy
Smith of Milwaukee, generally rec

Babe Ruth is the highest-salaried
baseball player, his present contract

in the neighborhood of $4,000 for
combining the duties of manager snd
player for Detroit.
Walter johnson is paid between
$4,000 and $4,000 year by Wash
ington. Iris Speaker of Cleveland
and Rogers Hornsby of the st. Louis
Cardinals each receive about the saEc
amount as that paid Johnson.

Of pugilists, among them leading con-
tenders for titles, are lucky to reach
the SIS, 900 mark in gross earnings a

jimmy Smith earns between $50, 900
and $780, 900 a year appearing in exhi-
bition bowling matches. He is paid
between 500 and $500 for each APP
pe@ance, depending upon the size OF
the cities. The Milwaukee tenpin
sta. insists upon guarantees in small
towns, but works ON a percentage in
tho larger cities, where bowling inter
esf runs high, and his every appear
anfe is greeted by capacity turnout.
Nice part Of Smiths profession is
titt he loves bowling above everything
eie and is well paid for doing the
ting he enjoys most.
Smith is regarded as the most con
silent bowler the sport ever has pro-
deed. Strange alleys do not mean a
ting in Jimmy's life. The large ma
jtity of bowiers are thrown complete

Bogey," yet very few people
know how this terror of the links
was born. The creator of
Colonel DOGGY was DIR. Thomas
Browne, a surgeon in the British

mouth recently. He conceived
the idea in 1892 and first men
toned it when Playing at the
United Service Club. The no
ton caught on and now every
good golfer the world over knows
Colonel Bogey as his sternesr
and most memorable rival.
