ACCIES TO MEET
IRISH OFFENSIVE
Norton Sends Boys Through
Drill Against Fordham's
sNotre Dame Stuff
BY FELIX r. MCKNIGHT

COLLEGE STATION. Tex, Dec.
| 19.-R-Seven sturdy Texans
known hither and yon a. the stlngl-
est line in college football, worked
in the rain and chill today on a
problem that is theirs to solve,
come New Years day.
For two years now, the Texas
Aggies have rated as the nations
TOP defensive team. The big test
comes Jan. 1. against Fordham
university in the Dallas Cotton
bowl game.
Once more the Aggies will en-
counter a solid Notre Dame Of
tense somewhat Of a rarity in an
Aggie lineman's life.
Coach Homer Norton reviewed
past experiences aginst Irish Of
fensives in a talk with his boys to-
day. Norton didn't stress the point
with his players, but a little re-
search and prodding from the men
tor revealed that the Aggies' sue
cess against Notre Dame stuff has
touched on brilliance.
Last season the Cadets walloped
Villanova, 1877, and took in Santa
Clara 10. This season they en-
countered the dancing Irish shifts
twice and came out 41-6 victors
over Tulsa and 26-0 winners over
stout little Texas A. and I.
We've met the Notre Dame Of
tense, but not often" said Norton.
Well just have to adjust our
selves to something we know little
about"
The great senior line that last
season established 4 new all-time
record for college football by hold
ing ten opponents to a net gain of
81 yards per game by rushing and
passing, and again ranked as the
top defensive team against rush
ing this season with a stunning
hold 'em Yale" avera:, of 44.3
yards, went out in the rain to
work against Fordham-or Notre
Dame-plays worked by reserves.
Coach Norton, just out of bed
alter an attack of influenza, didn't
venture out into the dampness. He
peered through a window at the
practice field and unused: 1T will
take us at our best to win this one.
We must reach ton form in every
way during the next few days. We
are going to let the boys 60 home
Tor Christmas for three days and
that leaves little time to get them
IN shape. There will be no scrim-
mage after their return from the
holidays.

scout information onFordham, but

boys are looking very ;;ood at the
moment. Look at the zip in that

ZIVIC, JENKINS
BATTLE TONIGHT

NEW YORK, Dec. 19-[R- BY
any way you add it up, including
algebra and the fnger-counting
system, Fritzie Zivic figures to
take good care of Lew jenkins in
Madison Square Garden tomorrow
night-except that one of Lewis
punches might connect.

Fritzie recently dethroned Henry
Armstrong as head man among
the 147-pounders, not long after

Lew.
And Fritzie has so much more
experience, than the Sweetwater
swatter, he probably already has
forgotten more tricks about BASH
ing beaks than Jenkins has learn
ed up to now.
Yet, the fact the Texan has a
kick in either hand like the army
mules he used to shoe down in the
Panhandle has the betting men and
the fistic faithful all in a stew
about it. The gambling fraternity,
although forced to install Zivic as
the choice, r taking no chances
and have him at a 5 to 8 price only.
The faithful are responding to
this most-talked-of punch party OF
the year SO vigorously that Pro
moter Mike Jacobs expects the
Garden gate will break all records
for a sock show so close to Christ
mas. Ordinarily, the ushers and
the hot-dog hawkers r mighty
lonesome in the Garden for a fight
within a week of the holiday. This
time, however, Uncle Mike looks
for upward Of $4,000 customers
with a gate ringing the $50, 900 bell.
Despite all signs pointing toward
the Pittsburgher, this corner likes
Jenkins. Even some of Fritzie's
best friends tell you the youngest
of the five flying Zivics has made
some poor showings during his ca

case, this corner strings along

Fritzie in about four rounds, be-
cause no one along Bash Boulevard
denies he can put a fellow to sleep
about as fast as ether, and just as
convincingly. He did it a few weeks
ago, when he stiffened Pete Lello
with about three of his Sunday
punches.

Bees President To Be HOnOred
For Finest Contribution
To Diamond Game
By Y B

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-R-Bob
Quinn, 7O-year-old president of the
Boston Bees and one of the beloved
%patriarchs of baseball, will be honor
ed this winter by the New York
baseball writer's with their 18th an
nual award for the person making
the finest contribution to the sport
over a long period Of years.
The award, announced today, will
be made to the w~hite-haired, crick-
ETY. veteran at the annual dinner of
the chapter on Feb. 2.
Quinn's contribution to baseball
has been a merry as well as a valu-
able one since he began his career
managing the Columbus club at the
turn of the century.
"Baseball's really a goofy business,
but I like it," he once was quoted as
saying. Its been keeping me young
for years."
Quinn was at Columbus for II
years before the late Phil Ball
brought him into the big leagues as
vice president and general manager
of the st. Louis Browns. Once dur
ing his long, stormy stretch in that
job, Ball complained to a friend
"That Irishman has never. agreed
with me on anything yet"
When Ball offered Quinn the job,
he wrote: I'm holding it myself at
present, and it seems to be mainly
bunk and bluff" To which Quinn
replied starchily: "In my long base
ball experience I've never had a job
Of bunk and bluff. I claim no quail.
fication for such a job. I'm not the
man you want" Ball composed an
other letter.
Quinn's jump from st. Louis was
a disastrous one. He purchased the
Boston Red Sox, and by the time
the club was sold to Tom Yawkey in
1892 Quinn was cleaned out. During
the losing financial struggle he walk
gu lltO d Udlh anu ol1oWC Pooo,
900 ION his face"
But 'Old Bob" was far from beat
en-. After a year with Reading in
the minors, he came back as business
manager at Brooklyn. In 1886, when
the Boston Braves franchise was
tossed into the National leagues un-
willing lap, Quinn was the magnates'
first and last choice to take COM
mand.
To the comment that he was a
| glutton for punishment in taking
over his present outfit, Quinn re-
piled: 1--WE never had a club handed
to me yet that wasn't shot"
If he hasn't won a flag with the
Bees, Quinn has at least come up
with some interesting teams. The
first thing he did was hire the color
full Casey Stengel as manager.
