ing through the line to nip eastern
plays before their Inception and toss
ing opposing runners for long losses.
Individual performances gave way
most of the time to team play but
aside from Roebuck, wild Bill
Kelly, another Montana ace, and Cap
tain of the western squad, and Fritz
Kramer, Washington State college
guard, We're luminaries for the win
ners.
Kelly turned in a flashing game at
halfback and in addition to piloting
the squad to victory saved his team
from defeat in the last three minutes
of play by intercepting an eastern
pass ten yards from his own goal
line. He leaped ineo the air to pluck
the oval from Flora's waiting arms.
Kelly was injured in play and taken
from the game. Kramer's perform
ance in the line was second only to
that of Roebuclk. Eastern honors
were upheld brilliantly by Bill Amos,
Washington and Jefferson fullback,
and Bill Flora, Michigan end. Amos
carried the ball most of the time
and outkicked his western opponents
while Flora's defensive work at the
flank position was outstanding.

Those who didn't care for Cobb's

and his teammates missed their pivot.
Alabama's offense was built 2rin-
cipally on Winslett, who time and
again deserted the line to drop oack
and charge the beefy Stanford row.
AS the Cardinals continued to hold

Barnes took turns at carrying the
ball but the Palo Alto forward wall
held them off.
The same tale rang through The

periods until Winslett blocked Will

through the breach for the touch

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1 [P-
Twenty thousand persons saw West
conquer East, 49, in the annual
charity football game at Kezar Stad-
ium today. 1t was the second time
in as many years that an all-star
western eleven wrote brilliant vic
tory over eastern rivals in the benefit
contest for the Shriners' crippled
children's hospital.
East scored first with field goal
when Rauber Washington and Lee
halfbacl booted the ball between the
bars from the 12-yard line. The
kick followed drive that started
from mid-fi The western points
came as the result of 35-yard pass,

versity of Montana star dashed 45
yards to touchdown. He also
kicked goal.
The game was as hard fought as
any seen here in years. A defense,
that for the most part was i'm
pregnable, was produced by both
elevens And while collectively the
line play was considered remarkable,
individually it uncorl1ed one of the

The White SoX contributed $45
apiece to raise pool of about $1,100,
Risberg said, which was given to
the Detroit team, prime pally pitchers,
to slough" the series to the SoX.
The scheme TO get the Detroit team
to lay down in the series, which
began Labor day, 1917, was first
broached to HIM, Risberg told Ian,
dis, by Clarence Rowland, then SoX
manager and now en American
league umpire.
All the members OF the Sox team
contributed to the $1,1OO pool for
Eddie Collins and Ray Schalk, the
new Sox manager for 1927.
Collins deunurred, Risberg said. and
declared he never would do such a
thing again. The money avs COL
lected and turned over to Detroit
two weeks after the series was
thrown.
Chick Gandi, then Sox first base
man, collected the money and turned
it over to Bill james, then a De-
tro,t pitcher.
Rowland told him, Risberg said,
as the Sox players went into the
dugout at the start of the "sloughed"
series, that everything was all fixed,
and once during the game Eddie
Collins described booted" ball by
Eddie Dyer, Tiger shprtstop, as ter
rible."
George PUCK Weaver, Sox third
baseman at the time and fired from
baseball at the same time as Risberg
for the 1919 worlds series scandal,
was the only SoN player who did
not contribute to the $1,1O0 pool fol
Detroit Risberg said. Weaver sat
in Landis's office tonight listening
to Risbergs story, nodd:ng confirv
nation of his salient points and ad,
rnitted that as his share of the cons
tribution to Detroit players he gave
Oscar Witt, Detroit outfielder, a
handbag for Christmas.
Weaver himself refused to discuss
the 1917 series, but indicated con-
firmation throughout of Risberg's $
story.
Near the close of the 1919 season.
Tisberg said, the Sox players decided
that they owed the Detroit team q.
return for the 1917 favor so they
"sloughed" two games to Detroit az
the end of the 1919 season to enable
Detroit to win third place. The Sox
in 1919, as in 1917, won the pennanr.
Late in September, 1920, R,sbera
said, he met Rowland on the street
in Chicago and Rowland said:
For heavens sake, don't let that
1917 business get out"
Not long after that, Risberg saio
he met some Of the Detroit players,
Done Dlsh and Hook Dauss, in a
saloon opposite the White Sox bali
park and Bush said to him that he
hoped the 1917 affair never got out.

The stnford Cardinals started
again to register, but beat of every
attack launched by aiapama until
Wilton attempted to punt in the dy-
ing moments of the game The punt
was blocked by Winslett, and rolled
back 10 Stanfords 14-yard line, where
Wilton recovered it himself, but it
was fourth down, Alabama took the
ball and in five bucks sent it over
the goal line. Caldwell's toe con-
verted and the score was even.
The remaining two minutes Of
play failed to alter the tally sheet
Three outstanding features marked
the football battle: Big Biff Hoffman s
passing azId endless succession OF
! grounds gaining areverses of all kinds;
Stanford's series of fumbles which
prevented them pning up a score
although they gained three yards to
Alabama's one from scrimmage; and
finally the spectacular rise of the
Tide to the last emergency, when it
gathered all its force into five
charges and smashed through tho
Cardinal wall for the touchdown and
Jnen the convert TO tie.
Twice in two successive New Years
day appearances in the Rose Bowl,
the lads from the south have risen to
real heights, last year to win from
washington, and this year to hold
the mighty Cardinals, bosses of the
Pacific coast conference, to an even
break.
A 40-yard gain on pass, Hoff-
man to Hyland opened the game with
Stanford carrying the ball There
after Hoffman Systematically display
ed his repertoire of reverses with
the help of Hyland and Bogue and
at the end of the period, the only
Cardinal score was the result.
Stanford started it's drive from it's
own 37-yard line. A short pass to
Shipkey, netted p yards, two Hoff-
man 70 Bogue reverses took the ball
to Alabamas 23-yard line.
A surprise was sprung, Bogue pass
ing instead of Hoffman, who was
back in punt formation after Walker
took it and went across the goal
line. Bogue converted.
The passes completed by the Car
dinals were big factors in their
ground gaining, one-thlrd OF thelt
advance yardage being made through
the air, but fumbles several times
killed promising attacks.
In the second and third periods the
two elevens battled without single
mark being hung up on the score
sheet.
Gordon Holmes, the Tides great
center, who had been i'll, took the
field for the first time just before
half time, but played only few

AS TO MOTIVES

1t might be argued that it is never
light to suppress dishonesty. That is
particularly true if an expose" has
the thought of uplift back of it.
However, in the Leonard case, the
alleged dishonest act in itself was trif-
ling compared to the damage it did a
score of directions when Haunted in
the publics face.
There is nothing like a clear con-
science to help man really enjoy
life. 1t is very doubtful if Leonard s
act, prompted seemingly by grudge,
will make life any more worth the
living for him.
I am sure Leonard would feel far
better today if he kept his secret;
made himself martyr, if you will, to
what he believed unjust treatment by
Cobb and Speaker

Most Of the worldly goods that

There is never any eXtenuation for
