Tulane. of New Orleans, may have n national football champion
ship aspirations this season, but followers of the Green Wave have
their eyes or the All-Amcrican selections which will be bobbing Up
within several weeks.
The reason Is Willis Banker-the Blond Blizzard of Tulane. they call
him-sensationsl halfback and trple-threst man.
Blondy Bill. putting it shortly. j. a WOW. He a U IKE a demon,
smash the line in tornado fashion, pass and kick with the best Of em.
In the first four games of the season Bloniy Bill scored nine touch
downs. And he vas just getting started! II Bill was lpaying on one
Of the Big Ten teams o with one Of the great grid eggregaions Of the
east you'd zee his name in big print most every day. As IL is. he's the
sensation Of the south and getting better with most every game.
Already Dixie football fans are comparing him with the immortal
Peerless Peggy" Flournoy, whose deeds sre southern grid classics.
Banker Is only a junior and that means he will have another season
after this enc. In 1927, green to big college football. ne smacked, bat

This yea he has surpassed all expectations.

ARMY NAVY AGAIN


In criticism of the commercializati
Of the college athletics, it happens too
frequently that only one side of the
story is given The same holds of
other classes of criticism
The Navy, for instance gave out the
information that no western confer
ence football teams would give the
Army a game to replace the cancelled
service game this year. The inference
was permitted, if not actually sug-
gested, that the Big Ten colleges would
not associate with an Institution with
loose eligibility rules.
It is true that the big western con-
ference teams regretted indirect invi-
tations to play the Army this year, but
not entirely, if at all, on the grounds
of questionable eligibility rules.
Several of the western conference
colleges have made known that they
could not play the Army this year be-
cause their schedules already had been
completed and others quoted the policy
of the conference against booking
games with eastern teams that would
not agree to homeAand- home games.
The Navy apparently forgot to
mention these minor little things.
And the public heard only one side.

Like DEMPSEY,S CASE

But little Mandell gave the esteemed
president of the N. B. A. a. pertinent
question.
How can I sign articles until some
promoter offers them to me? I'll fight
any of his challengers if the match
is offered to me in the usual way"
Mr.. Donohue might profit a little by
recalling the experience of William
Muldoon, that great czar of New York
who demanded that Jack Dempsey
sign an agreement to fight Harry
Wills.
Dempsey signed the agreement and
the commission found itself in the
middle as a matchmaker and promoter
and the game was on the verge of a
Knockout before Muldeon had to back
down.
They never fought, it may be re-
membered.

PROFITS OF F0OTRALL

The University of Pennsylvania re-
Gently published financial report of
the athletic association showing a
profit of $363,00O on football, and Notre
Dame is said to have cleared $5OO,0O0
over operating expenses. Other smaller
institutions are reporting profits of
from $4,000 upward.
Figures such as these offer material
to critics who maintain that commerce
is becoming too great a factor in col
lege athletics In the east, Pennsyl-
vania has been accused of considering
only the gate receipts in drawing up
the football schedule, and Notre Dame
has been criticized for too much
patronage OF the railroads in travelling
around for big money games.
Pennsylvania, however, is trying to
pay for one of the finest athletic plants
in the country, situated near the heart
of great city, and Philadelphia looks
upon Franklin Field as civic monu-
ment.
Notre Dame also is preparing to
build big stadium at home, and any
one who does not know and who cares
to investigate can find out with little
trouble that athletics have to pay for
themselves at every college.
If there is any doubt that profits
from athletics do not go back into
athletics, the financial reports can
remove the doubt.

Credit is due to any man who as

of regulating boxing, but it seems that
Tom Donohue, president of the Ma
tional Boxing association, is assuming
too much authority.

sort of mythical organization and it is
not recalled that this organization ever
publicly made czar out of Donohue
to rule and regulate as an individual

GULF SLOWLY
DISAPPEARING
Lower California Peninsula
Widens Bearing Out Jesuit
Discoveries

Loreto, Lower California.-(P)-
Observations made here and at
other points along the west as we'll
as the east coast Of Lower California
show that the peninsula is widening
and point to the possibility, Of
eventual disappearance Of the Gulf
Of California.
The Jesuit priests who colonized
this part Of the peninsula 23O years
ago were the first to observe the
phenomena. The records Of their
observations were handed down
through the ages and in recent
years new observations have con-
firmed their findings.
Juan Bareno, . descendant Of the
Spanish colonizers, decided about
thirty years ago to check up on the
Jesuits' figures. He planted . NUM-
ber Of palm treos on the shore Of
Loreto bay, within ten feet of the
sea. These trees are now 100 yards
inland.
Il il believed that within . few
centuries tia east coast will be
united with many Of the small
islands that dot the gulf . short dis
lance off the peninsula. Twenty
years ago navigation between the
islands and the peninsula was &C.
complished with safety but with the
receding Of the sea the channel be-
tween the islands and the peninsula
mainland has become 50 shallow ia
some places that navigation by large
boats there II considered dangerous.

PROMISES WEIRD STORY

Riverside, Calf, Dec. 4.-(AP)-
Gordon Stewart Northcott's report
ed confession that nine boys were
mistreated and slain on the North
colt murder farm" near here, and
that he himself committed five Of
the murders, today sent prosecuting
authorities on an intensive hunt for
corroborating evidence.
Taken from Jail in Los Angeles
yesterday to the scene Of the alleged
crimes on his promise that he
might" lead officers to the spot
where evidence Of the killings ex-
listed, Investigators announced
Northcott made q signed confession
Of the murder Of Alvin Gothea, q
Mexican youth.
They said he then related a some-
what incoherent story Of the mur-
der Of eight other small boys on or
near the farm, in four Of which he
was the killer. His victims, he said,
were Gothea, Walter Collins, Louis
Winslow, a boy named Richard and
q youth whose name he did not
know.
Says Clark Killed
The 22-year.old Canadian declared
Sanford Clark, his 15-year-old neph-
ew, killed Nelson Winslow, twin
brother of Louis. He declined to
name the other boys he claimed were
killed on the chicken farm, and re-
fused to say who was responsible.
IF you ever get certain members
Of my family to talk" Northcott
told officers, "you will hear one of
the most weird tales you ever listen
ed to. Believe me, officers, that
chickenranch as butcher shop"
Addressing the officers Northcott
"You fellows never have seen
through the mental torture that fol-
lows such deeds as have committed.
It is relief to tell everything. For
the past three weeks I have realized
that l must tell or 60 mad. It wasn't
so bad up there in Canada, but -
we'll, the minute the train entered
California / knew it wouldn't. be
long before told about everything"
Hints at Relatives
He hinted that another member OF
his family other than his mother,
Mrs. Sarah Louisa Northcott, who is
held in Calgary, was involved in the
crimes. Before making the written
confession he threatened his father,
Cyrus No4thcott, with telling
everything"
Northcott told the officers that
he had erected an improvised altar
at the ranch and that he had forced
each Of his victims to say his
prayers before killing them. He
said he cried as he and Young Clark
buried Walter Collins. He accused
Young Clark of also mistreating the
victims.

marble chair Of st. Augustine:
The enthronement of the former
archbishop of York was carried out

Because of the illness Of King
George, there was a possibility un-
til the very last that the enthrone-
ment might be postponed.
Canterbury was awakened BY 9
deep -pealing Of the city's bells which
heralded the ceremony. From an
cient inns, which once were hostels
for Pilgrims, Ind through narrow
streets, modern Pilgrims assembled
at every entrance of the famous oId
building whose gray walls were
slightly shrouded in a mist.
The great assembly in the cathe-
dral included Bishop Charles H
Brent, Of Western New York, repre-.
senting the American church, and
was eminently Catholic in scope, as
for the first time in the long history
Of Canterbury, representatives Of
the Free Churches were invited to
join in the prayers for the new head
Of the English church. Representa-
tives Of non-conformist bodies in
various European countries were al
SO present.
