DELANEY TOLD

new REPUTATION
Rickard Shys Against
Signing Scrapper For
Big Fights
BY FRANK GETTY
Omitted Press Sports Editor)

NEW YORK, Jen. 3.-For man
who has just invested $4,000 of a
friend s money in IFS pounds of
prize fighter, little Joe Jacobs is
having his troubles.
Having bought Jack Delaney of
Bridgeport for what constitutes a
record price for light heavyweights,
Joe was anxious to start right in
and realize upon the investment.
When fight manager reaches
that frame of mind-as most of
them, do, most of the time-the next
step is around the corner to Tex
Eickard s office on 10th street. The
office is kept comfortably stocked
with hungry fight managers.
Somehow or other, the holiday
spirit seemed to be missing when
Jacobs strolled around.
81 have come,' announced Jac-
obs, upon whom the frost had no
more effect than upon an Eskimo,
" to sign my new meal ticket for n
bout with the winner of next
weeks business deal between Jack
Sharkey and Tom Heeney.''
Take him away and get him u
reputation, replied the unfeeling
Mr.. Rickard, suggesting that De
liney take on Johnny Risko or Nap
Dorval.
Goes to Philly
At the suggestion that the Crap
i,r of the North who only year
ago was packing the customers into
Rickard s arena needed reputa-
tion, Jacobs swooned
There being no way in which
Jacobs could realize real money
from his $4,000 investment in these
parts outside Madison Square Gar
don, Joe squawked loudly and long,
thereby qualifying as a really big
time fight manager.
"All right for you Mr.. Rickard, -
Jacobs said. Il am leaving for
Philadelphia and Chicago to ar
range engagements for the 'Rapicr
OF the North. '''s--
Jacobs is in Philadelphia today,
presumably to arrange for fight
between Delaney and Tommy Lou
ghran, the present holder of the
worlds light heavyweight champi-
onship.
After that Joe will go to Chicago
where he will talk with Jim Null
len concerning a fight between De
;aney and Gene Tunney for the
heavyweight title.

Ieriority of the Warner team, al
though breaks in the game, very
freallish one for Stanford, gave
them the mythical national honors.
A combination of stunts of the
true Warner variety including goal
around end, double and triple re-
verses with Hyland, Whitman and
Hoffman carrying the brunt of the
offensive and stellar punting made
Stanford the best team as indicated
by the 3l2 yards they gained to
Fit t's 1873.
Biff' Hoffman established
himself as one of the greatest backs
u all times in the west, literally
cutting the Pitt line to ribbons,

Women Drivers
Very Careful
by United Press Leased Wire

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 8
Although women hold about 20 per
cent of the driver s licenses issued,
women drivers were responsible for
less than five per cent of the fatal
accidents, according to a survey
made by c. c. Cottrell, traffic en-,
gineer of the California State Auto
mobile Association.
Taking San Francisco as an ex-
ample, the survey showed that of
one thousand fatal accidents up to
November 18th the drivers in 90
instances were men and only 46
cases involved women motorists.
Forty four were unknown due to
hit-and-run escapers.
