Would Shake Jocks Patriotism.

THE answers to this question, laid
end to end, would have circled
the globe in 80 seconds. They came
thick and fast. Mr.. McAvoy's ears
were toasted to a turn by the time
the boys got through telling him what
Is wrong with English prize fighters.
Even his manager, the cultured DR..
David Luniansky, turned against him.
It's tribute to Mr.. McAvoy's game
ness to say that at the conclusion of
the barrage he still was patriot.
That's all very WELL" Mr.. McAvoy
muttered rebelliously, but we British
can take care of ourselves, strike me
pink if we can't"
Mr.. McAvoy certainly takes care of
himself, being in all respects the best
English prospect to reach these shores
since the time of Ted Kid Lewis. He
showed his stuff three weeks ago
against our most promising light
heavyweight, Al Mccoy. He will show
it again tonight against our local
worlds middleweight champion, Babe
Risko. II he wins, he will meet John
Henry Lewis for the light heavyweight
championship Of the world.

A~ me, "but Stanford hasn't been
Stanford in any Rose Bowl game so
far. This time, the third shot, I hope
things will be different and the crowd
will see the real Stanford team play
as it played against California in the
most decisive game Of the Coast sea-
son. They are the greatest bunch Of
boys you ever saw and they can play
foot ball. You won't see many better
men than Grayson, Hamilton, Moscrip,
Topping, Reynolds, Muller and several
Others"
What chance has Moscrip to start
or fnish?" asked Thornhill.
IT don't know" he said, "and I prob
ably won't know until q few days
before the game. You know what q
bad knee is. It may come around and
it may not.
But II we play our game well
have an even chance.
TOO many people are Judging Stap-
ford on her two Rose Bowl games
rather than upon her play through
three seasons of hard competition,
where our record speaks for itself"
While Thornhill didn't care TO dis
cuss any phase of his impending tao
tics on New Year day. there is little
question but that he is banking heavily
on these angles:
!. To have his ends rush S. M. us
passing game, hurry 1t badly and figure
in a few interceptions.
2. Throw a hard, fast running attack
against S. M. us two ends-Grayson
leading-mixed in with short passes
from Grayson to Topping.
This will be the final college game
that most Of Stanford's veterans will
play, and they intend to turn on all
the juice in stock.

Britisher With Two Titles

nj McAvoy. holder Of two British
" boxing titles, was the short
4 ender at 5-to-2 odds three
weeks ago when he faced AL Mccoy
but he is favored to defeat Eddie
(Babe) Risko, worlds middleweight
champion, tonight in their non-title
bout at Madison Square Garden.
The shift in the odds, now about
8 to in McAvoy's favor, gave an
indication Of the impression made by
the British middleweight and light
heavyweight titleholder.
Against the rugged Mccoy he
showed enough speed, power and re-
sistance to cause the critics to hail
him as the best biffer to come out
of Britain since the days Of Ted Kid
Lewis.
While neither of McAvoy's titles nor
RiSko's one will be at stake in their
10-round match. a couple Of cham
pionship shots lie just ahead for the
invader II he makes another good
showing. A decisive victory would
put him in line for title bout with
Risko-the winner has been promised
a crack at John Henry Lewis, light
heavyweight champion.

TOP LIST FOR 1885
IN MAJOR UPSETS
Notre Dame Victory, Defeat
in Successive Weeks
Among High Spots.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

~ VIEW YORK, December 1910
N the experts peering intently
VI from the sidelines. the sports
a campaign of 1885 seems to
have involved a rapid succession of
surprising results, topped Oh by the
dizziest college foot ball season In
history.
The biggest surprise of all, based on
the returns tabulated today in the nth
annual Associated Press poll, was the
sensational stretch drive of the Chi
cago Cubs to base ball pennant victory.
Closely pressing this major shock to
. the form players was the twin form re-
yersal in which Notre Danes foot ball
team figured, on successive Saturdays.
OF the two stunning results, Notre
Danes last-period triumph over Ohio
State was rated more surprising than
the downfall of the Irish" the fol-
lowing week at the hands of North
western.
James ]. Braddock's victory on
points over Max Baer for the world
heavyweight boxing championship
topped the individual surprises OF the
year. To many observers, however
this was no more startling than the
triumph Of Wilmer Allison over FRED
Perry, British ace, in straight sets IN
me United States tennis champion
snrp> or the victory of Sam Parks,
ir., a 5O-to-1 shot, in the American
open golf tournament at Oakmont.
The defeats of Jesse Owens, Ohio
States record track athlete,
by Eulace Peacock in the national
A. A. U. championships, also were
ranked among the main surprises.
Cubs Lead List.
DON'T totals in the poll, based on
= 3.2-l tally of preferences listed
by sports editors and writers, showed
the Cubs victory at the lead Of the list
with 90 points. Experts rated the clos
ing drive of the Chicagoans, featured
by a 2l-game winning streak, as the
best in the majors since the Boston
Braves swept to the top in 1914.
Braddock's victory over Baer TOOK
second place from Notre Danes foot
ball triumph over Ohio State by
single point. The totals were 80 to 81
While foot ball contributed IA cpl
sodes or developments to the list OF
surprises, the poll covered wide range
of upsets. Azucars victory in the
rich Santa Anita Handicap apparently
was the biggest surprise to horse race
followers.
The second straight collapse of the
New York Giants was considered
bigger surprise than the defeat Of
the world champion Cardinals at the
finish of the National League base ball
race. Babe Ruth's retirement, a ma
jor surprise because of its circum-
stances, was mentioned by only one
observer.
