Illinois to Play Towa The unbeaten, Illini were started on their Iowa campaign by a long lecture from Coach Zuppke on the harm that over confidence may do after two great victories. of surprises must be expected from the supposedly weak Iowa team, Zuppke said, for there are no stars to point for among the Hawkeyes, as there were against Northwestern and Michigan. Coach Hanley took the lecture platform, too, to point out the mis- takes he saw in Northwestern’s play against Missouri Saturday. The long list of cripples on the Purdue squad are all expected to be restored for the Northwestern visit Saturday, giving Coach Phelan his strongest lineup of the season.

We qucte the Trojan writer: “This little fellow, La Barba, came to be admired wherever there | were sports fans for his clean liv- ing, his sportsmanship, and_ his modesty, while champion flyweight | boxer of the world. “It seems a pity that he must forfeit all athletic participation for the Cardinals now that he has re- tired from the ring to continue his education, “La Barba was somewhat of a basketbal: player while in high school, and although his lack of weight would prove a big handicap, the Stanford freshman would make up a large part of this in aggres- siveness if allowed to compete.” From all reports we’ve heard, Fidel is one of the most popular freshmen on the Cardinal campus. He was frosh leader of the annual fight against the sophomores held recently. The pictures above show Fidel on the Stanford campus. At the left, we see him chinning a bit. with “Bif” Hoffman, Stanford’s smash- ing fullback, At the right, he is shown with Coach Glenn “Pop” Warner—and talking, perhaps giv- ing a hint or two that might im- prove the footwork of the Stanford squad, In the center, you see him in his freshman regalia. e gc eee Fights Last Night | Sis oceanic ok ° (By The Associated Press) Piiladelphia—George Godfrey, | Leiperville, -, knocked out Tom Sayer, Roberto Rober. alph Smith, rr Gema out Blackie Salifornia, (3).

Matched With Gans While still a youth he became a} professional boxer in San Francisco, , where he lived for more than 40 years, and sparred his way to the joint where he was matched with joe Gaus, then the lightweight champion of the world. Kelly fought a great many fights in all parts of the country.

Tournament This Week Dallas, Tex., Nov. 1.—Mark it down, friends, that “Light-horse” iarry Cooper, . lorful young pro of the El Sereno Country club of Hol- lywood, Cal. runner-up in the na- tional open this year, will be a “heap big favorite” to cop the 1927} him professional golfers’ championship here this week. : There’s reason. Young Harry will be coming home. He will make his Popular on Stanford Campus € ’ KELLY IS DEAD third try at the title over the course he was raised on from a kid of 14 years. He learned his shots on the Cedar Crest Country club course, the scene of the professiona) tourna- ment. He knows every blade of grass, every grain of sand on this toughest of Zexas links. There’s another good reason. The “Lighthorse” plays his best before the folks that raised him—the folks that helped him when he was a lanky, growing youth. Dallas still claims him, although he has mi- grated on to better things. Harry is called “cocky” but the home folks understand. They believe in him as he believes in himself. And Cooper will play this fall to uphold the faith that Dallas has in im. Ask Walter Hagen, the so-many times winner of the nation’s pro crown—and th + present titlcholder— if you don’t think Cooper is almost invincible here. The “Great Haig” took the worst beating of his long career in February this year when he met Harry in a 72-hole match on the same course ‘Twas a sad, sad vatt'’s for Hagen His greatest shots did no harm. He went down 10 ana 8. Followed by a big crowd of home fans, despite the rain, Cooper be- came deadly in earnest. He took the lead at the first hole.

MIKE MTIGUE, MICKEY WALKER FIGHT TONIGHT Both Have Eyes on 175-pound Title—Saguero and Benny Ross in Semi-Final Chicago, Nov. 1.—’?)—Only an Trish referee is needed to make an all-Celtic affair of the 10-round battle tonight between Mike Mc- Tigue and Mickey Walker, each with a manager tracing his ancestry back to the Emerald Isle, too. Walker, the present wearer of the middle- weight crown, will come in at about 167 pounds to 174 for McTigue, who used to be champion of the light heavyweights. . Both have their eyes on the 175- pound title, and for Walker it would mean a new record in American box- ing history, for he has alresdy held two world titles. Roleaux Saguéro, the Havana light heavyweight who has won his last two bouts here by knockouts, is matched with Benny Ross of Buf- falo in the 10-round semifinal. Jackie Williams, who helped Gene Tunney prepare for the recen. de- fense of the heavyweight champion- ship in the Soldiers’ Field battle, is | paired with Phil Mercurio for six rounds.

This agreement contains a financial ar- rangement similar to that signed by Tunney for me last January in St. Louis. “Dempsey, I know, .ill_be ready for me when I want him. It may be that he will engage in one fight in- doors. I can offer hin $150,000 for an indoors bout.” Dempsey indicated that any fight- ing he might do would be under| Rickard’s direction, although he said he had not cecidea whether he would reenter the ring. His plans depend somewhat on his suit with Jack Kearns, one * _; November 015 at Trenton, N J. A Matter of Opinion “If I owe Kearns th $333,333.33, as he claims, the court will see that he gets it,” Dempsey said. “It’s just a matter of opinion whether he held a contract for the amount, and I don’t think he held it.” Rickard produced a statement re- vealing that from September 1, 1925, to August 31 of this year, the profits of Madison Square Garden were $1,313,194.28 from boxing ex- clusively. Profit on indoor shows amounted to $632,902.31, and the net from outdoor shows was $760,- 291.97. Boxing’s indoor gross re- ceipts were $2,797,708 and the gross for outdoor shows $3,550,308.81, making a toal gross of $6,348,016.81, Pi ges d ‘ empsey-’ fight’ at Chicago. coed Texas Cowboy Sought as Heavyweight Hope New York, Nov. 4—(P—A six. foot-three, 200-pount cowboy, Dick Shelton of Fort. Worth, Texas, who has been wrestling 900-pound steers off their feet at the Madison Square arden rodeo, is being sought as a heavyweight doxing hope.
