a bitter grudge fight from Andy
Di~odi, also Of New York, in a 10
round rematch here last night which
Referee Abe Roth gave to him prin-

The question Of fouls, which ter
minated the previous match in the

peatedly. Spectators said two Of the
blows which sent Divodi down bordered
on the waist line.
Walker was knocked down once

third from a terrific right TO the jaw
and twice in the fifth for the same

Notre Dame Flashes.

TIP to a little more than 10 years ago
" the little Catholic college OF Notre
Dame was not heard OF TO any
great extent. This college had a place
on the schedule of West Point, and the
Arlny-Nctre Dame game was regarded
as little more than a practice game Tor
the cadets.
But one year Notre Dame came to
West Point with a wonderful back
named George Gipp and some open
order tactics that bewildered the Army
and dazed Maj. Charles DAILY, the
Harvard-Army coach, who had come
from the old school of foot ball.. ]
remember that game particularly. 1t
was played at West Point and there
were only a few thousand spectators.
Today the Army-Notre Dame game Is
the greatest foot ball classic we have
from the point Of view Of popularity.
It became apparent that Knute
Rockne, a Notre Dame graduate, who
was coaching the team from South
Bend, was a great strategiSt of the new
open-order game. BY this time they
are insisting that Knute Rockne is
about 95 per cent responsible for all OF
the tactics that have been originated
since they transformed the game OF
American foot ball into glorified basket
ball, or whatever you please to cali 1t.
For the last two years Notre Dame
teams have been recognized almost
unanimously as being the mythical
champions of the gridiron.

Looking over the records Of the

DOWN THE LINE
by w. o. McCEEHAN-
Some Outlines of Sport.

$4,000
%HE casualties began to pile up In
the old game of foot ball and
there was a Nationwide cam
pa'gn for its abolition. In the
East and the Far West some of the big
gest colleges began to abandon the
game as being too strenuous. There was
a conference at which Walter Camp,
The father of American foot ball, was
present. It was agreed to modify the
game and to open it up.
The forward pass was suggested as
the medium and that certainly did revo-
lutionize the American game of foot
ball. It was the difference between
handling an infantry platoon in the old
solid formation and the open-order tao
tics Of the modern infantry platoon with
the rifemen, the bombers, the rife
rrenadiers and the machine gunners.
The old-timers held out against the
new game to the last ditch. They called
il glorifled basket ball. They called IL
worse. but it had come to stay. AS one
who liked the old game, should say
that the change certainly was Tor the
better. 1t introduced brain work ana
ouick thinking to a game that might
have merited the adjective bovine"
But also it made the game more spec
tacular, which, some maintain, IS a
fault
The transition was slow. In some OIL
the old Tory colleges it took years foI
them to fall in line with the changeo
condition. Especially at Yale, which
worships the symbol OF the bullocg
they scorned to resort to the new open
order foot ball and the basket ball pass
But you will notice today that Yale has
lust signed as one of its coaches Benny
Friedman, the greatest OF the FORWARD
passers, and Bucky O'Ccnnor, who has
been thoroughly schooled in tbs tactics
Of Notre Dame. OF course, they insist
that yale does not intend to use any
system of foot ball but the Yale sys-
tenn; still, they probably VIII listen 10
the advice of these coaches from cut
side

Latest Varsity Man to

BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

OHICAGO, March 25.-The
4 noble sport CT wrestling is
~ going more and more COL
legiate each week. Time
was when an ear-splitting Greek
name was essential to success in
he wrestling racket, but If many
more collegians go in for bone
breaking and neck twisting a

Henry Bruder, Northwestern's 1880
foot ball captain, is wrestlings latest
recruit from the campus. Bruder might
have been an all-America halfback
only for 13 broken bones and an Incl
dental attack Of smallpox. Denied the
gridiron's highest honors, he now in

A Rapid Growth.


MO statistician has tried even to
IN guess at the gate receipts drawn
by intercollegiate foot ball in the
course of a season, which lasts for about
eight playing days Of the year. The
sum would be startling. You might get
some linking as to what it might total
when you know that some Of the larger
universities (by which mean the Jtii-
verstties which have traditions behind
their foot ball and highly ballyhooed
foot ball teams or systems, take in for
admissions very close to 100000 q
year.
Naturally the feeling grew that any
sport that was so popular and so highly
profitable must be honeycombed by
evils. The report OF the Carnegie
Foundation disclosed plenty of these
evils. 1t was not the amount of the
gate receipts that proved appalling, but
the fact that nearly all Of the American
colleges stopped at nothing that would
bring them winning foot ball teams.
Al first the Carnegie Foundation re-
port terrified some of those who main
tanned that the management Of the
game was all right as it was. Then
| there was an attempt to laugh 1t of,
but the laughter was rather forced.
One Of the professional coaches said
that instead of terrifying some of the
| colleges which were cheating in the
| matter Of foot ball and substituting
athletes almost openly it had the oppo-
site effect. It taught the colleges, which
formerly did not know how to go about
1T, to cheat. He maintained that the
situation was worse instead of better
| because of the report
| That was ill-advised talk for a pro-
feSsional coach because there was a
well defined movement to clean up in
tercollegiate football. 1t is my notion
that nearly all of the colleges will have
nobody but bona fide students playing
| football. Why not? 1t would not de-
tract from the interest. In fact, ]
think 1t would make the game more in
! teresttng and more lucrative If the lat
ter consideration enters into the matter.

nERHAPS I am confirmed optimist,
i but have notion that the colleges
are about to enter on a period of re-
form in the matter of their athletics ]
do not think that this will check what
the boys are calling "the overemphasiS'
to any great extent. There will still be
packed stadia when Yale meets Har-
ward or Princeton and when Notre
Dame plays the Army.
It has been limited that there would
be more honesty in the game If it were
given back to the students. think that
this Is coming in spite of the protesta-
tons of the coaches and the paid direc-
tors of college athletics.
At q gathering In New York one of
these athletic directors insisted that
giving the game back TO the students
would be like giving horse racing back
to the horses" This Is q striking ex-
ample Of the professional coach and the
paid athletic director. They put the
students who play football in the class
with horses Cor oxen) to be driven and
exploited by the professional coaches
and athletic directors.
I still maintain that II the under
graduates controlled their own sports
these would be free from the cheating
the PROSECUTING and the subsidization
And something like that Is bound to
happen. It is happening already.

Bliss had three high-powered basket
shooters in Rovegno. Parkinson and
Zirkle, who scored Is points apiece,
but the remainder of its squad, with
the exception of Peterson, who made a
lone goal, was unable to count. Potomac
