SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 31.-(P)-Col-
lcge football stars who meet in the
annual east-west charity game here to-
morrow as benefit for the Shriners'
crippled children's hospital, finished
training today with snappy workouts.

While somewhat lighter in both
backfields and line weight, the east

a feat they were unable to accomplish
a year ago.
The western squad will average
around 1877 pounds on the line and It's
pounds in the back field, as compared
to 1S9 and 1872 pounds, respectively,
for the visiting team. Close to 10000

TE1ECRAPHs IMPROVED

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 31.-(Special to
The Dispatch). - Numerous improve
ments in the service of the Mexican
national telegraphs are being planned
for the coming year by Eduardo Ortiz,
subsecretary of the department of COM
munications. IA is planned, among
other things. to substitute large num-
ber of copper cables for aluminium ca
bles, which are expected to give better
service and cost less in installation
and maintenance.
The success of automatic sending
and receiving machines has been such
that a considerable number of these
will be installed next year on the di-
visions where traffic is heaviest and
it is planned eventually to equip the
entire system with them.

PLANS UNHUR7',
SAY OFFICIALS

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 tP.-With"
drawal of the national collegiate A.4A
and National Amateur Athletic feder-
alton from the American Olympic as
sooaiton has capped the climax of a
long-standing controversy but ath-
letic officials assert it will not inter-
fere with the forward progress OF
preparations for this country's par
ticipation in the 1928 Olympic at AM
sterdam.
In vclcing this opinion today, the
officials pointed out that even the
N.C.A.A. had not committed itself to
active opposition or interference with
the Olympic plans now within the
control of the Amateur Athletic union
and associated governing bodies.
Underlying causes of the break H.
athletic ranks have existed for so
long that it is not believed the open
rift will materially alter the situa
ton. Boiled down, it is chiefly a
case of disagreement on the part of
the NCAA and N.A.A.F. with the
sports governing policies of the A.AU.
in international track and field ath.
ietics.
William C. Prout newly elected
president of the Olympic association
and a prominent A.A.U. executive for
years, points out that while .tne
Olympic association is imbued with
patti otic spirit, it is necessary that
Difference be paid to the various na~
tional sports governing bodies, sucn
as the A.A.U. and others, ION matters
of athletic policy, matters which re
quire athletic experience and knowl'
edge on technical matters"
Taking up the present split, Prout
asserts that the Olympic association
wants the enthusiasm, the interest
and the inspiration of organizations
such as the boy scouts and girl scouts,
but adds:
"They cannot rightfulIy be expected
to make any other contributions to
the success of the Olympic movement
in this country and the records show
that they never have made any other
contribution"

DOUGLAS WILL SEE A
FAMED BASKET OUINT
in ACTION TUESDAY,

The best basketball game Of the sea-
son will be played in Douglas Tuesday
evening when the Tulsa, Okla, Eagles
professional quintet, will stop off
for game against the best talent
that the city can muster. The game
will start at 1880 D. M in order not to
conflict with the music program at
the Grand theatre under the auspices
of the Douglas Music club
Ordinarily this team does not stop
off for games in cities of less than
100000, but by special arrangement
Principal J. E. Carlson, Jr, was able
to get them to stop off for a game
before they tackle the Wildcat team
and U. of A. and after meeting
the University of New Mexico at
Albuquerque and take the long jump
for a game here on Tuesday. Follow
ing the Tucson game, the Oklahomans
go to Los Angeles, Hollywood, Stock

Prospects for successful basket
ball season are looming bright as the
team is getting into condition for
the opening games of the southern
Arizona high school conference SEIZED
ule Two. lettermen were lost to the
team through graduation but plenty
of new material is on hand to greet
the coach and a strong first and sec
ond team will be ready when the
season opens. A list of reserves will
be used against Patagonia, Lords
burg, Tombstone and Wilcox, while
the regular quintet is challenging
it's strength against the regular teams
of the southern conference.
Coach Warren lis optimistic over
the chances and says that his team
will fight to the final whistle. The
Bulldogs lost the opening game OF
the season against the strong Gilbert
team, champions of the Salt River
valley for the past three years. The
final score was 21 to 20, indicating
the potential strength of the homH
team. The hardest schedule that
Douglas team ever faced with 1G
games on the books will test the
ability of the. team before they enter
the final tournament play at Tucson
for state honors.

ALABAMA STANFORD
CLASH FOR NATIONAL.
"CRID" TITLE TODAY.

PASADENA, Calf, Dec. 81 R.-The
warning football factions of the east
and west rested in camp here tonight
after week of intensive drilling
awaiting the zero hour of 2:15 p. m.
tomorrow when a swirling tide from
the University of Alabama will lash
out in an effort to engu1f the red
shirted standard bearers of the west
from Stanford.
When the whistle sounds for the
opening Kickoff of the annual sports
classic which carries with it the
mythical championship of the coun,
try in football, Coach Glenn Pop
Warner, foxy mentor from Palo Alto,
will send in the same team which
faced Stanford's principal opponents
during the past season.
Coach Wallace Wade of the Grim,
son Tide Hkeiwse will send in his
1Irst line, built around Gordon "Sher-
lock- Holmes whose prowess as q
pivot man is celebrated in the south.
Holmes apparently had recovered from
an appendix ailment which necess1-
tated leaving him at Ell Paso, Texas,

Part Leonard Played

If Dutch" Leonard is the pagan
of virtue that his disclosure would
have you believe, why did he wait
for seven years before presenting
the facts in the case?
The alleged framed game was
played on Sept. 25, 1919. Since that
time seven campaigns have been
waged in the major leagues.
AS a matter of fact, the alleged
fixed game was played prior to the
1919 world series which was later
proved to have been crooked. Leon
ards expose after seven years OF
silence certainly doesn't reflect credit
upon himself.
1t seems all the evidence in the
case was furnished by Leonard
therefore he was the only person
capable of spilling the beans. Yet
he sits idly byafor seven years before
he rattles the bones Of the dusty
skeleton. ! AJa
Certainly the belated confession
shouldn't ease the conscience of Mr.
Dutch" Leonard Incidentally the
spirit of revenge that he admits
prompted the disclosure, shouldn't
make him feel any better.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-01-01
Amir seems Absurd

Ty Cobb and iris Speaker are
wealthy men. On the face of it,
the thought that they would conspire
to throw ball game for few paltry
dollars, is more than ridiculous.
People have said to me, IF Cobb
and Speaker are not guilty, why did
they not refuse to retire under pres
sure, but insist on fighting it out
to the bitter end?"
If there is any criticism in the
action of the two stars, it is the
manner in which they stepped down
and out, prior to the expose.
1 have it on very good authority
that there was a reason back of the
move, highly sentimental one, and
| am hoping it is so,
:. If Cobb and Speaker stepped out,
believing the affair to be closed
incident, it is now up to them to
make an issue of the charges of
Leonard and see that the sport world
gets the real facts.
