STANFORD FACES "BATTLE
OF ITS LIFE" SAYS LITTLE
Coach Shows Unusual Attitude as Lions Leave
Tucson for Pasadena-Full Card Squad

BY BRIAN BELL,
Ssociated Press Stan Writer

DASADENA. Calf, December 30
- Stanford's foot ball players
placed their last practice Of the
1888 season under their belts to-
day and were ready for Monday and
Columbia.
The final drill was brief and light, but
it marked the first appearance of every
player in uniform since Coach Tiny
Thornhill brought the boys from Palo
Alto into Pasadena. The sick and in
jured who have missed most of the
practice periods all were in uniform,
although they did comparatively little.
Bobby Grayson. Yves Muller and
Claude Galloway, cold victims, and
Monk Moscrip and Lyle Smith, casual
ties In action. were ready to start if
necessary and some of them can go the
whole game. 1t is not likely that Muller
or Moscrip will enlist for the duration
of the foot ball war New Year day but
they will engage in part of the fight

Conflicts With Classic.

IT HAD been hoped to leave Satur-
l. day open in order not to conflict
with the National Duckp.n Bowling
Congress sweepstakes, the classic money
bowling event of the country which will
be held at the Arcadia. But. due to the
return TO action Of a number OF large
leagues, not enough drives will be avail
able at the Lucky Strike to finish the
roll-of in four evenings
The last week brough out all sorts of
scores in the preliminaries, but in the
main tLey were low and, if a bowler IS
on his game. he should not have
difficulty qualifying at any establish
ment. Alley managers have sheaves Of
entries from bowlers who either we're
scared off by a big score or two or
preferred the comforts of home to an
expedition TO the bowling alley in bitter
cold.

You can imagine the surprise of
the German, and the resulting COM
motion in assorted languages. when
Neusel appeared for his prize today
at the Garden and was handed a
check for S319.
Ten tough even though winning
rounds for $25 is bad enough but
for $319! Donnerwetter! Dunner
Dunner und bitten! Sind ale

Patiently the Garden management
explained that since the money
under commission rules could only
be split 3712 per cent for one
fighter and 1212 per cent for the
other, and Impellittiere in this
case represented the large side and
Neusel the small side, then Neusel
was only entitled to 1912 per cent
of S25 or 1919.
There's one very mad German
around these parts tonight trying to
figure that one out.

Likes Present Game.

~ ENERALLY speaking however
r changes in the rules at this time
would be mistake. Such
changes made to promote this or that
method Of attack will further compli-
cate a code which is already too COM
pucated, The game as it stands is a
fine one. and if properly supervised
coached and ofhciated is not productive
of more injuries than are TO be eX-
pected in any body contact game. The
main source of trouble is failure to
properly look after the injuries suS-
tanned. This lack of care is what
causes many of the fatalities Of foot
ball.
I'VE have a fine game. Are We
sportsmen enough to keep it? That is
the question. Attempts to find loop
holes and beat the rules are the reason
for so per cent Of the rules changes
of the past 25 years. This year has
shown a wonderful Improvement in
this respect. Few coaches, and not a
single reputable one. have attempted
any such tactics. The attitude of their
national association has doubtless had
much to do with this most desirable
attitude. If We are to preserve this
great game and keep it free from just
criticism, we must think of the game
first and Our private good must be
very poor second.

Well, sir, Impellittiere finally
agreed to fight Neusel at Madison
Square Garden. which fight took
place last night and Impellittiere
took very thorough licking. But
before all that, Impellittiere insisted
he had to receive guarantee of
$4,000 for the match or everything
was off
The Garden doesn't pay that kind
of money any more, but Neusel was
eager. He finally agreed to take so
per cent of the receipts and out OF
that guarantee Impelhttiere his
pound of $4,000 flesh. Neusel was
gambling, of course. If SO per cent
didn't amount to $4,000 he'd have
to make UP the rest. If it amounted
to more the surplus was his-or so
he thought.
Now comes the point of all this.
The net receipts when they fought
last night amounted to exactly
s10,500. Neusels SO per cent was
s5,025. OF that Impellittiere had to

Would Be Mistake.
BY CHARLES DUNKLEY,
Associated Press SPOTS Writer.

~ HICAGO, December 30
Foot ball rules for 1884
" will undergo no radical re-
visions in the opinion OF
Walter OkeSon, named chairman
of the Foot Ball Rules Committee
at the final days session of the
National Collegiate Athletic As
sOciatiOn Convention today.
The most important committee Sc
lected today was the National Foot Ball
Rules body which will meet in the East
in February to consider changes in
the rules for the coming year.
The personnel of the committee fol-
lows:
Walter Okeson. chairman; w F.
Langford, secretary; Amos Alonzo
Stagg Of the College of the Pacific. a
life member; W. G. Crowell of SWarth-
more; Henry Smith, University of Colo
rado: w. j. Bingham Of Harvard: Dana
X. Bible Of Nebraska; H. j. St2geman,
Georgia Tech Ray Morrison. Southern
Methodist University; w o. Hunter.
University of Southern California, and
Fielding H. YCSt, University OF Mich
igan.
Declaring that except for some SIM
pliflcation the rules need no changes,
Chairman OkeSOn said:
Attempts to find loopholeS and beat
the rules are the reason for so per cent
of the changes of the past 25 years.
Okeson said, although the past year has
shown a wonderful improvement in
this respect"
Nevertheless. some simplification of
the rules is desirable he explained.
Mistakes in Interpretation occurred in
all parts of the country during the
season Many Of these came from the
fact that the play in question was one
which for a lifetime was legal. and it
looked so right and natural that at
the moment no one questioned it. II
your committee without endangering
the players or upsetting the balance of
the game can bring about some sim
pllflcation, it will, of course, be glad
to do so.
