COLORADO _ SPRINGS, 15.—Turning ‘olo., Dec. champions of back the Greater Boston and the New James England States, St. school of Haverhill, Mass., by a score of 35 to 0, the Colorado Springs high school Terrors today demonstrated western supremacy in scholastic football in convincing fashion. Broderick, triple threat back, was unable to get away against the westerners, and to Donahue, his running mats, goes most of the credit for the offensive work of the invaders, who, how- . failed to make first down but twiee, The change from sea level to a milehigh altitude, and the 2,200 mile journey slowed up the St. James team, which finished tho came in an exhausted condition. In ery department of the game the ‘Terrors showed great superiority, d their goal line never was threatened. In the first period, the visitors kept thelr goal Une uncrossed, but the period ended with the ball on their one-yard line, and the first play of the second period saw it across. In the third period, three long passes, followed by three slashes at tackle, brought another touchdown. Both attempts to kick goal failed. In the final period, thé Terrors ran wild and scored 24 points, open- ing up with the varied attack which has been kept under cover the en- tire season, an@ which they were unable to use in the state title game at Fort Collins last Saturday be- cause of the blinding snowstorm in which that contest was played. Phelps holds the world’s inter- scholastic retord with a drop-kick of 59 yards made earlier in the season. The game was played be- fore the largest crowd ever packed on Washburn field, more than 8,500 spectators taxing the limited seat- ing capacity, The, Colorado Springs team fia- ishes a most successful season with the sobriquet “Point-A-Minute errors” still applicable. In 548% minutes of play they have amassed 666 points, Loveland, Colo., con- querors of Fort Collins, scoring the only points against them, 6, on a fluke touchdown.

He is a leader and well liked. He knows his own nm and lot about the other That is Coach Zuppke's succinct characterization of the new captain, “Rockey,” as his teammeats know him, hails from Omaha, where he learned football at Technical high under the tutelage of Jimmy Drum mond, the old Dartmouth halfback. Kokusek won 10 high school letters in football, basketball and baseball. During his four years’ sojourn at Tech his team won the city cham- pionship in football each season. The new captain lives within’ 50 miles of the University of Nebraska, home of excellent football teams. Many persons are curious to know how the hard tackling end happened to come to Illinois.

He's too light to fight Wills and, as a matter of fact, he would be foolish to take chance of ruining some good business that is waiting for him. With all of the “foremost con- tenders” frankly admitting that Wills is too good for them, the big colored boy, if he desires to get any financial returns from his business, will have to go back to the setups. Under the circumstances, which have been brought out with no factor of doubt attending them, Wills never will be criticized in this column again for meeting set- ups, And the next time the manager of any contender speaks about being desirous of making Wills fight, /t shall be remarked: “Apple sauce!” | ——— ieee Three Released To Salt Lake From Athletics| HARRY WILLS, BOXER BY HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Dec. 15—(United Press)—-To be consistent is to be as much desired and is! required per- haps as much in writing sports as it is in’ any other line of business. To be consistent means to say one thing and stick to it as long as it is warranted by the facts; to ad- here to the popular line “That's my story and I'll stick to it," even when the facts turn in wrong. Harry Wills has been frequently and consistently criticised in this column. It has been said of him that he was holding out for the loser’s end of a fight with Dempsey that he had turned down more than $100,000 in business last season be- cause he did not care to risk the loss of his prestige with any danger- ous contenders and that he had gone back until it was doubtful that he would be able to win from a goo} opponent where the rules against “holding and hitting” were enforced. This last opinion still holds good. It is thought that Wills is not the fighter he once was, granting thet he once was a great fighter. It is only natural that at his age he could not remain idle and out of practice and retain the peak of his form. It ig still belleved that he is not as effective when he cannot hold and hit as he is when he can snake out his left hand behind the neck of his opponent and pul! him into a right hand punch. As far as that goes, no boxer can be as effective when hoe has to stick to the rules, but Wills is more inclined to foul tactics than any other contender for the heavyweight championship. ee But as to the other things sald about his sincerity in seeking the heavyweight championship or in proving his claim to the first shot at Jack Dempsey, it 1s sincerely de- sired to take those things back. It is not appropriate to say that those criticisms are retracted by the desire to do justice to Harry Wills, because it should not have to be said. Justice is the first requisit of a critic who would like to have his criticisms respected. Fairness iy essential in anyone New York against any = fas a outside of the “set-up class. The committee approached Wills and asked if he would be willing to fight the star number on the card. He replied that he was willing. With some doubts the committee then asked him what fighter 22 would be willing to take. “Anyone,” he replied. When the names were called for him—"Firpo, Gibbons, Renault. Siki, Godfery—" he broke in and said: “Yes, or any other one you can think of, go get him!" Figuring that the biggest part of their job had been accomplished. the committee set about getting one of that list of fighters who had been yelping that they were willing to take Wills—and not one of them would listen to an offer. Wills was ready to meet any one of them. Perhaps he would have fought three of them five rounds apiece (he didn’t say that), but they wouldn't HMsten to any kind of terms. Firpo is in South America, and he has is own {deas about purses not in keeping with those of any committee that desires to have any- thing left for charity. Gibbons has drawn the color-line He is busy with vaudeville and ne wants Dempsey again without any risks between.

The Smiths and the Jinx WHEATLAND—Two near escapes from death in the lapse of a week is the fortune of the Smith family of Chugwater, the father Robert Smith, having been hurled from the C. & S. track by passenger No. 32 on the night of Sunday December 2, while the son, Robin Smith, capsized in his car at the Fay corner northeast of Wheatland Saturday evening, wrecking the machine. Young Smith was enroute to Fort Laramie, where he Chugwater bas- ket ball team was playing the high school team at that place. He had turned over in the car on @ previous occasion breaking out the wind- shield. He stated that when he turn- ed the corner his car skidded and that a shower of gravel, came thru the open front into his face and eyes, blinding him so tnat he went into the ditch. He escaped without in- jury to himself. The elder Smith is also reported to be convalescing in good shape.
