TROjANS RULE Fl
PICK OVER TULANE
Good Weather Promised for
Record Crowd of $4,000
at Game Tomorrow.
BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

HASADENA, Calf, Decemer 81
- Two great gridiron elevens stood
at the portal of a new year to-
day, awaiting the morrow when
time throws open the door to the sew
enteenth annual Rose Tournament foot
ball game. --.
A record crowd of some $4,000 was
expected to witness the tntersecuonaf
clash, in which Southern California
is favored to turn back Tulane.
The fact that no bulwark has stopneA
the goalward ruShes of Tulane's Green
Wave this season failed to daunt either
Coach Howard Jones TrojanS or the
betting gentry who spoke freely of
2-to-l and 3-to-1 odds.
Although the expert sentiment ia
vored the Vests own. Coach Bernie
Bierman's Southern Conference cham
piOn5 had many supporters who believed
the warriors of Troy were in for their
longest afternoon since little st. Mary's
inaugurated the 1881 season by beating
them, 13 to 7.
Reserve power almost without end
and a weight advantage OF almost
six pounds to the man was ON the
Trojan side of the ledger. Good old
Southern determination, which has had
much to do with the impressive record
of three wins and a tie in the four
previous appearances here Of teams
from below the Mason and Dixon line,
not to mention lots of deception, favored
the gentlemen from New Orleans.
Power Versus Passing.
Defensively and extensively, the two
aggregationS match up on par.
Southern California has done most of
its yard gaining and scoring by virtue
of much power. Tulane has depended
more on a superb passing attack. The
majority of the touehdowns scored
against each aggregation have been
through the air.
The only basis Of comparison of op-
ponents is found In the Georgia and
Washington State games, which swing
heavily toward the Pacific Coast Con-
ference champions. Southern California
defeated Washington State, SO to Q.
Tulane trimmed the Cougars, % to ID.
The Trojans walloped Georgia, 90 to 0.
The Greenies took the Bulldogs, 40 TO 7.
Both mentors promised their teams
would be in the finest condition for the
contest. Each was peSsimistic, predict
ing close game.
The Greenies and Southern Cali
fornia's team will be sent through final
light workouts on the firm Rose Bowl
sod this afternoon.
The prospects were good for warm,
clear day for the game, considered con-
structive to both teams.

BASE BALL HOLDING

Financial Setback 0utweighed by

NEW YORK, December 31.-"Base
ball lost no ground In 1884," says John
Heydler, president of the National
League. 1T not only held its own as
our foremost American game, but it
made great strides in countries to the
south of us, and particularly in far-of
Japan.
1T is true, our professional game suf-
fered financial Set-baCks. The amateur
sandlot, semi-pro and especially the
boys game enjoyed countrywide re-
vival None of the park authorities Of
our big cities could begin to meet the
demand for base ball diamonds.
Forgetting our losses in dollars, and
thinking alone of the sport and its for
ward steps, am sure the National
League can well feel gratif1ed with the
results of its fifty-SiXth season.
Base ball is ever the game of the
optinlist. Always next year looks better
than the last. And so, although we are
preparing to take reef in our financial
sails, we are nevertheless looking for
ward to the base ball season of 1882,
confident in the belief that by the time
another world series is won and lost,
We all will have Weathered the storm"

Penn's New Plan of Handling
Sports Declared Successful;
Gopher Poll Backs Emphasis

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, December 31.-Re-
n suits thus far have justified the
y institution of the Gates plan"
of faculty control of athletics
at the University Of Pennsylvania, DR..
Thomas Gates, university president and
sponsor of the plan, told members of
the National Collegiate Athletic ASso-
citation today.
The Gates plan" which, briefly, put
the management of the schools ath-
lettcs entirely in the faculty hands, even
to the appointment of regular faculty
member as head foot ball coach, has
been eyed with great interest by other
schools. If successful the general be-
lief is it will be widely adopted.
I'VE had this year wider participa-
ton in sport among the whole student
body than ever before" DR.. Gates said
by the end of this first year in which
our plan has been in effect, we shall
have had several hundred formally Or
ganized teams competing in different
branches of sport.
I'VE look forward to the shortening
of the foot ball season to six or seven
games in the near future, with a much
shorter practice period. We look for
ward to the elimination from our sched-
uleS of games with institutions much
smaller than our own.
In arranging our schedules for the
future, We are going to attempt to for
get gate receipts. We shall place no
team on our schedule because of the
gate involved of an abnormal desire OF
the public to see us pitted against some
particular team.
ut is clear to me that the time has
come for general disarmament among
colleges and universities. The first
ideal, in my opinion, is to subordinate
the desire for victory to the desire to
play the game honestly and in ac-
cordanee with the best amateur stand
ards"
DR. GATES declared himself op-
- posed to foot ball as a means OF
raising funds for charity, saying
it "commercialiZed the game more than
ever and does not raise much money"
In his annual address DR.. Charles
Kennedy, president of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association, sug-
gested that some provision be made
for more continuously detailed eXecu-
tive administration than at present.
He said that for a period of about
18 months before each set of Olympic
games the association should MAINTAIN
