N VIEW YORK. December 81
N There ought to be a grand
VI foot ball game at Pasadena
/ on New Year day. Two
unbeaten elevens, teams also
united, will collide and the conse-
quences are likely enough to be
thrilling Stanford will strive to
maintain the laurels of the Pacific
Coast and the University of Alabama
eleven wage combat for the honor of
Dixie
The writer has seen both teams
and no one realizes more than he the
difficulty of selecting a winner. Ala
bama is about as fine team defen-
Sively as the most eXacting critic
would wish to see. The running at
tack has left something to be desired,
but in forward passing the Tusca-
loosans have been very adept.
Two Great Tackles.
In the line they have two of the
best tackles in the game, Pickard and
Perry; any forward wall that con-
tains two men of their caliber is not
easily preached.
But the belief of the writer is that
Stanford's eleven is better rounded
in every department of play than
the Southern outfit Wallace Wade
is a great coach and any eleven he
turns out is hard to beat, if. indeed,
it is beaten at all. But so far as
coaching is concerned, the man never
lived who was so formidable as
Glenn Warner when it comes to set
ting himself for a single game that
he really wants to win.
Warner Views Rivals.
When Alabama played Georgia. on
Thanksgiving day, Warner sat in
the stand at Fleetwood Park in
Birmingham and watched the Grim
son tide with absorbed attention. He
saw mighty proficient eleven. He
returned to Palo Alta under no illu-
sions as to the sort of foeman his
team would be called upon to en-
counter.
Forewarned is forearmed and
Warner most certainly is one man

ANNUAL EASTERN TOURS
RK PACIFIC COAST HEADS
Session May Move to Los Angeles That Westerners
May Curtail Expenses-Nothing Significant
i'm Withdrawal From Olympic Body.

while back the n. G. A. A. went on
record against preseason practice in
foot ball. Yesterday it recommended
that the preseason practice be linn
tied to three weeks and that the prac-
tice be held on college fields and not
at training camps But the preseason
practice will so on as usual until the
regional conferences decide to put a
curb on such practice, which IS not
likely to be soon.
Two interesting papers were read
at the meeting here yesterday, one by
Dean Wilkins Of University of Chicago
against foot ball and the other by
Dean Sanford of University of Geor-
gia in favor of foot ball. The giSt
Of the paper against foot ball was that
foot ball is played by 2 per cent of
the student body and is very valuable
for that per cent, but that it wreaks
havoc with the other 9S per cent.
From cursory consideration of the
paper against foot ball, it would
student body that does not play foot
ball is afflicted with gambling, drink
ing and most of the other evils that
were alleged to he offShoots Of grid
iron games.
The gist of the paper in favor OF
foot ball was that all the evils at
tributed to foot ball are not caused
by foot ball, but exist anyway, and
that the whole difference in ideas con
corning foot ban lies in the viewpoint
of the middle-aged faculty member
as it differs from the viewpoint of the
youthful student. In other words,
that it is perfectly natural for the
youth of 20 to have an idea of the
comparative value of foot ball and
cultural education differing greatly
from the idea of the man who has
not participated in the sport and who
looks at things with the softened
viewpoint of 20 plus 80 added years
of life.
When one considers the actual ad-
vantages derived from the meetings
held here this week, one cannot help
consider whether or not the value of
these advantages is commensurate
with the time and money expended in
holding them. The money for rail-
road fares, hotel bills and entertain
ment expended by the four or five
hundred persons that attend these
meetings from all sections would run
up into amazing figures. 1t is just
a question OF whether it would be
possible for the colleges and universe
ties to put this money to better use
If the National Collegiate Athletic
Association would consider that, it
would consider something really worth
while.

WeissmuIler Still Rules.

Johnny WeiSSmuller. the Ianky chi
cagoan, who lifted the swimming man
tie of Duke KahanamOku in 1921. has
been king of the aquatic spTinterS for
six straight years. He yielded one of
his titles to the famous Swedish star,
Arne Borg. last Summer. but retained
the so and 100 yard championships
and seems likely to make it seven
years in front.
Yale, in varsity rowing, and Walter
Hagen, in American professional golf
ranks, have three-year winning
streaks to their credit. Both will have
a fight on their hands before making
it four years in a row, but both, like
wise, have a habit of being at their
best when the going is hottest.
College basket ball has q brace OF
winning streaks for new tests in the
season now under way. North Caro-
lima has captured the Southern Con-
ference title four years in row.
while the University of California is
out to extend a triumphant march
that now has covered three success
sive seasons. Not since Pennsyl-
vania ended a fOur-year reign in
1921 in the intercollegiate league has
the East had the semblance OF a
title winning streak on the court.
Orioles Finally Stopped.
Base ball has not a winning streak
of outstanding note since Hornsby
yielded the batting crown he wore
for six years. Baltimore faded from
