Gavanagh is not fast but he packs world's of sleep medicine in both mitts and he is not afraid to take two Punches to land one solid one.

GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) New York, Dec. 24—()—The foot ball season winds up with a few ap: propriate flourishes on the Pacitic coast within the next fortnight. The east-west fray, assuming something of the proportions of an all-America convention, will revive this Saturday the argument that Stanford and Ore- gan State started in New York. The New Year's day classic at Pasadena will have considerable to do with the final ranking of major teams for 1928, The all-star game at San Francisco, played for the benefit of the Shriners’ hospital for crippled children, is of more than usual interest as a test between the talent of east and west, who will clash head-on in spite of all that Kipling had to say about it. The two games on the Pacific coast will close football's most profitable season. The gridiron game had an- other boom year that stands out con- spicuously because its two main rivals in gate receipts, baseball and boxing, experienced something of a relapse in 1928. The biggest “gate” was col- lected for the Navy-Notre Dame game at Soldier field, where the receipts probably totaled in excess of $500,000 from a crowd of 1120,000. : Yale, Pennsylvania, Army and Navy led the list of money-makers in the east as they played before the big- gest crowds of them all consistently. Ohio State, Michigan and Notre Dame Probably topped the middle western field in gate receipts over the season's stretch, while Stanfard, California. and Southern California played to big “houses” on the Pacific coast. Boxing failed to even muster up a million-dollar spectacle for the year. Baseball attendance fell off a trifle here and there, and the Yankee sweep cut short a possible world series har- vest, but the biggest crowd of all time packed the Yankee stadium for a September doublefeader between’ the champions and Athletes. BENNY FRIEDMAN IS Former Michigan Luminary Is Again Called One of the ‘Greatest Grid Players’ Columbus, Dec. 24.—()—Benny j Friedman, Cleveland, all-American | quarterback from the University of Michigan, has landed another myth- ical “all-American” berth, it was an-| nounced Saturday by managers of | the National Professional Football league. The former Wolverine star quar- terback has been selected as quarter- | back of the “post graduate” all-Amer- ican team, compoSed of players in the | National Football league. Managers, officials and newspaper men chose the mythical professional team and their choice of Friedman as the field | general was virtually unanimous. Like Friedman, most of the selec- tions on the “post graduate” team en- joyed a similar distinction when they were engaged in intercollegiate foot- ball. Friedman played the last sea- son with the Detroit club.

The Pirates came through after a slow start with two victories that put them only a game behind Boston, third in the American group.

The North Dakotans started off with a smooth floor game and had forged into a lead of 11 to 4 early in the first period. Millikin then tight- ened its defense and got its attack under way, narrowing the score to 14 to 13 in favor of the Bison at half time. In the second half, the Bison began to show the effects cf their hard tour and tired perceptibly. Shoass’ fifth field goal tied the score at 21-all with six minutes left to play. His free throw a moment later put Milliken shead and from then on the Decatur team held the lead. The Bison had an excellent defense, but its attack blew up toward the close. Pete Gergen and Bobby Hahn were outstanding in the North Da- kota offense, with Shoass leading the home attack. Hahn led the Bison scoring. The summary: N. D. Bison— Hahn, f . Hermes, f . Bliss, f .
