IN FRISCO CONTEST
Both All-Star Teams Are Loaded
With Gridironers Adept

SAN FRANCISCO, December 26.-
With seasoned passers and receivers
lining up with both the East and West,
fans look forward to brilliant aerial
attacks in the annual charity foot ball
game tomorrow.
A half dozen backs with either squad
can throw the pigskin. Bruder OF
Northwestern and Hart Of Colgate for
the East and Kitzmiller of Oregon and
Bausch of Kansas are aces in this de-
partment. On the catching end the
East has such sure-flngered men as
Frank Baker, Northwestern, Gantenbein
Wisconsin; Bates, Western Maryland;
Wheeler Michigan; Brockmeyer, Mime
sofa, and Bruder. Against these are the
Western experts-Long, Texas; Nc
Kalip, Oregon State: Ending and Doyle,
ST. Mary's; Mills, Oklahoma, and Clark,
Stanford
With these forces to draw from
neither team will be light of high
powered aerial material at any stage
of the game. While coaches have not
indicated how much they rely on their
passers and receivers, lovers of an open
game are looking for frequent resorts
to the air for yardage.

BritOn to Flash Powerful Cor
At DaytOna in His ''BIue Bird"

TAN directional I'm, at the front a
pointed radiator with vent In back to
allow escape of air.
Wind resistance has been cut to the
minimum in this design, Campbell said.
Just how fast the machine will travel
can only be told in the final test.
"All I can say is that I have gone
225 miles an hour in Africa" Campbell
said, land this car has 500 more horse
power than ever had. But you must
remember that as the speed increases
so does the resistance"
The speed record now is 231 miles
an hour, established by the late Sir
Henry Segrave.
Daytona is the best racing beach he
has ever found, Capt. Campbell said,
but its comparatively narrow course
makes 1t hazardous.
If the beach of the Great Salt Lake
in Utah should prove to be as good
or better, Campbell would rather make
the run there, he said, believing wind
and water conditions would be more
satisfactory. This possibility is being
investigated by the American Automo-
bile Association.
Kaye Don, another famous English
racer, will not be at Daytona, going
instead to Buenos Aires with the speed
boat Miss England II.

1928 the engine had only 900 horse
power. The bore of the motor is 1897
and the stroke 1907.
The engine itself weighs lila pounds
and thus develops one horsepower for

The wheelbase is IL feet inches and
the length Of the car over all Is rs
feet 6 inches.
The car is fitted with constant
mesh type of gear box, giving three
forward speeds and a reverse.
The tires are specially made, with a
very thin rubber tread and 14-ply
canvas. They have been tested up to
300 miles an hour. The wheels, fitted
in discs, are SO inches in diameter.
The whole car weighs 215 tons.

PRECEDENT FAVORS
WOLGAST TONIGHT
Disputed Title Twice Has
Been Won by Choices of
N. Y. Commission.
BY EDWARD j. NEIL,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n TEW YORK, December 26-Mid-
M get Wolgast, scrappy kid from
v Philadelphia, will have prece-
dent on his side when he tries
in Madison Square Garden to-
night to clinch his claims to the fly
weight championship in a 15-round duel
with frankie Genaro once considered
the greatest of the little fellows.
Wolgast, by reason of his conquest OF
all rivals in an elimination tournament
staged here last Summer, is the New
York State Athletic Commissions nQmt-
nee for the 112-pound crown. Genaro,
q Stubby little Italian veteran, who
lives right here, is recognized almost
everywhere but in New York State and
Pennsylvania by the National Boxing
Association as the hyweight champion
of the world.
New York Twice Wins.
Twice previously intercommission rul-
ers have met to decide a generally
recognized champion and both times
the New York State entry won the
honorS.
Tony Canzoneri, now the lightweight
title holder, one held featherweight
recognition here, while Benny Bass of
Philadelphia was named by the N. B.
A. as it's champion. They met here
and Canzoneri punched out q decision.
Again, Maxey Rosenbloom, local nomi-
nee for Lght-heavyweight honors, found
his claims disputed by Jimmy Slattery
Of Buffalo, champion in the IS States
controlled by the N. B. A. And once
more the New York commission entry
proved the batter man when they met
in Buffalo.

is certain that I am going to have to
take some punches now and then,
though have not had to take many.
What I'm getting at is that Just
boxing skill isn't going to pull fellow

the past who thought it was ended face
down on the canvas, though they had

Credits Phil Balls Timely
Help With Saving Life.
Abed 13 Weeks.

1T. LOUIS, December 26 Or
Ban Johnson, former preSi-
dent of the Americ n
League, apparently has won
another victory-this time against
Old Man Disease.
After Is weeks in bed, the for
mer car of base ball was conSid-
cred "out of the woods" in his
fight against diabetes, which ag-
gravated a foot infection and
threatened for time to result in
the loss of one leg.
Strong of voice and still vitality in
terested in base ball, johnson was host
to several friends yesterday in hos
pital here, where he is convalescing.
IT owe my life to Phil Ball." said
johnson to the group, which included
Ball, head Of the st. Louis Browns. He
stepped in and took charge of my case
and refused to permit amputation of
my leg. At one time I myself felt that
only a miracle could pull me through.
But the miracle happened"
Too Much Rubber.
johnson then unloosed some Of his
opinions on present-day base ball prob
lens. among them the lively ball and
night base ball. He said he had writ
ten George Reach, manufacturer Of the
oficial base ball, that unless the amount
Of rubber in present-day base ball was
reduced, the game, in JohnSon's opin-
ION, would be seriously impaired.
ct have satisfied myself by examina-
ton Of the base balls in use," he re-
lated, that the amount of rubber In
them has been greatly increased from
that found necessary in other days
when scores were low, home runs were
fewer and there was some skill and
strategy required to win base ball
contest"
Unless the rubber is reduced. he said,
the ball will continue to result in
meaningless home runs and hurt both
infield and outfield play" He said he
believed the reaction from the long
hitting craze will result soon.
Night Game VIII Pass.
Might base ball has created curl
osity interest for the time, especially
among women; but, in my opinion, 1t
is not an interest that Is OF an edu-
cational or permanent nature" he said
might base ball is not natural 1t can
not be permanent. 1t will never take
hold of the major leagues, and I do not
believe it will long continue as life
saver for the minor leagues"
Golf, he said, was one cause OF the
illness in the lower class minor league
circles. Rich men, who formerly were
angels" to the minor leagues, have
dropped base ball for golf and country
clubs, he said.
