Jones No Match
For Steele

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Jan. 2
Q.N.SD.-William G. (for Cor
illa") Jones was recovering today
from the fancy pasting admins.
tered by Freddy Steel, of Tacoma,
Wash, who coasted to a 10-round
decision over the Akron (Ohio)
negro in his first defense of his
middleweight boxing champion
ship here yesterday.
The Western champion was en-
tirely too smart and too fast for
the challenger, and won every
round but the second. In the
seventh Steele put Jones on the
canvas with a swishing right cross
to the chin, and thereafter the
Akron fighter had to resort TO
every strategem to avoid being
knocked out.
In the second round Steele
showed he can take it, surviving
Jones' booming right hand blasts
to the jaw. Again in the seventh
he took a smart belt on the jaw,
countering with the punch that
put Jones on his launches for
the first time in his ring career,
A merciless body attack was
Steele'S forte, a two-handed of.
fense that, coupled with Jones
willingness to go where the fight
ing was, gave the Negro a cruel
beating.

However, this c o n r oV e r y
should be settled some time next
week, when the clubs are Sched-
uled to lock horns for third time.
The first engagement also ended
in a scorelesS tie.
When one thinks of scoreless
tie, he or she gets the impression
that the game was listleSS, but
yesterdays battle was far from
that. AS a matter Of fact, there
was considerable action through
out the battle, and when we say
battle we mean battle. The game
was featured by fisticuffs from
the beginning to the end. At one
time so many fists were going
through the air that it appeared
as though a group of Nazis were
hailing Hitler.
The main bout was when
AL Kidwell, Eastern's allhigh
quarterback, carrying Congress
Heights colors, swapped punches
with Referee Bill Harrison. This
scrap was stopped by the players
before any real damage was com
mitted.
In the semiwindup, Billy Cattell,
Congress Heights plucky left
guard, exchanged blows with Left
Tackle Arindes of the Police team,
in the third quarter. No decision
was rendered.
Fights among the spectators
were as numerous as the electric
lights on Broadway. Every once
in a while fight could be seen
in the stands, but they all were
short and sweet.
The game itself wasn't so bad,
either.
At one time the Police Club ad-
vanced the oval to Congress
Heights 2-yard mark as a result of
Phil Fox's 9-yard gallop, but the
HeightSmen played bang-up ball
and took possession of the ball on
downs. The nearest approach the

spectators, so that they could
record them on a scOreCard, as
baseball fans now do. To start
discussion of this matter and
perhaps attract the attention
of coaches and members Of the
football rules committee, the fol-
lowing scoring in football games
is suggested:
"TOuchdOwn-Five instead Of
six.
Point After TouchdOwn-One.
Field GOal-TwO instead Of
three.
"Safety-TwO.
Each First Down-One.
Whether 10 yards or 40 are
gained-as same effort has been
experienced by team to accom-
pIish the gain made.
Each Forward or Lateral
Pass Completed Resulting in q
Gain-One.
Forward Pass Intercepted
One.
"Fumble RecOvered-One.
"Kick Outside Within 1O-Yard
Line-One.
Following points should re-
duce score:
"FumbIed Ball Not Recovered
One.
"AM 15.Yard Penalties-One.
Underlying Objects
"PrIme object of foregoing
scoring system to reward team
effort for scoring touchdown,
to keep the play open, reward
individual excellence and pena-
lize personal errors.
applying the above scoring
count to statistical record built
up in last NOtre Dame-SOuthern
California game, in which NOtre
Dame made Is first downs to
Southern CaIifOrnia's l, with
gain by rushing of 223 yards to
"a yards, would have produced
a score: NOtre Dame SO, South
ern California 22, instead Of
1913 tie as scoring rules now
provide, The former score ap-
parentIy more nearly represents
the strength of the teams on
the day the game was played.
Score Card Suggested
"The adoption of any such
scoring system in football as
outlined above would cause the
need for an official scorer to be
appointed for each game; a
score board, electric preferred,
upon which opposite appropriate
scoring element a red light
should be flashed when score IS
made and Immediately be added
to the score of the team making
point or points. Score cards for
each game should be issued just
as in baseball.
In connection with this dis
cussion, it is to be noted that
the number of scoring elements
above referred to does not COM
pare in cOmplexity with the
present method of scoring base
ball game by which the average
fan can score times at bat, hits
runs, errors, StrikeOutS, stolen
bases, two baggers, triples, home
runs, left on bases and whaS
