PASADENA Jan. 5. — (United Press).—The famed climate of Calif- ornia may be all right for tourists, but {t's sure the bunk for football teams that journey long distances to play in the Southland, says Bob Ma thews, coach of the doughty Uni- versity of Idaho eleven Idaho played the University of Southern California at Los Angeles recently and the team and the coach left a fine impression with sport followers by their sportsmanship. Mathews, ever a popular mentor, left Selection of the game's officials en- entirely up to Henderson, U. 8. C. coach. After the defeat given them by Southern California, the Idaho team had a lot of legitimate excuses that could have been made, but not one alibi was advanced. But Mathe gave a bit of advice that coud well be heeded by teams that come to California to play football. Mathews advises the Eastern coaches to bring their teams into the Southern California climate only a few hours before a game, instead ot getting here a week or more in ad- ance and trying to acclimate the men. Sport critics realized that the Week spent before the Idaho-U. S. C. game in Pasadena considerably en. ervated the Idaho lads In justification of Mathews’s sug- gestion it is pointed out that the only Eastern teams that ever came near Winning, except Harvard, followed this system. Washington and Jef- ferson came but two days before its game with the University of Califor. Bia wonder team, and then held the Bears to a scoreless tie.

FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor.) NEW YORK, Jan. 5.—(United Press.)—Unless John McGraw 1s able to get a’reliable pitcher and another experienced infielder, the Cincinnati Reds will get away next April as the favorite in the National league pennant race. The Reds turned out to be the strongest rival-of the Giants in the race last. year and on the form shown in the late season, they stood as the prospective runner-up or better in 1924. Since then the Reds undoubtedly have been strengthened by the deal which brought Carl Mays to Cin- cinnat{ from the New York Yankees. They also may find Tom Sheehan. American Association pitcher, of great: help to them. Carl Mays is a peculiar type. He is unfortunate in having “a dispos!- tion that made him few friends, and he always has been a very poor loser. He is young, as ball players go; is a very strong man, and with new surroundings he ought to win a lot of games for the Reds. If any manager is able to handle Mays, Pat Moran is the one. eee So far, the Cubs and the Pirates have not been strengthened. The Cubs. being a young ball club, might expect a little general im- provement, but there fs no reason why the Pirates should be more of a-factor In the next pennant race than they were this year. The Giants will have to be strengthened if they are to win an- other pennant, figuring that their competition will be just as strong in 1924. McGraw 1s’ sadly in need of pitchers, and no one figures that his infield will be as strong and as rellable with young. Travis Jackson taking Bancroft’s place at short- stop. It 1s still belfeved that Rogers Hornsby may be playing second base for McGraw when the season starts and {t wouldn't knock any- one dead if Eddie Roush should be in centerfield. George Kelly is a good piece of trading material, and McGraw would not hurt the team seriously if he decided to part with his tall first baseman. “Pat Moran {s sweet }on Kelly, and the Red leader may need a first baseman, as it is under- stood that Jake Daubert might not be available next year. | It stands to reason that the pres- ent champions would be no weaker } than they are now, if they are able to get Hornsby and Roush, and yet McGraw -would be worried’ con- tinuously by that weak pitching staff. Roush would cut off a lot of | runs and Hornsby would contribute |many scores, but McGraw will have |to have at least one. winning pitcher. «ee ‘The Yankees, without any change, look Ike another runaway. in the American league. If any deals are completed during the. winter they |certainly will be made with the lidea of strengthening the club and it doesn't need much more power as it stands. Cleveland is desperate for a first baseman, and’ Detroit is facing a necessity just as. critical for a s }ond baseman. If it is at all pos- | sible, Tris Speaker will make some | kind of a trade and so will Ty Cobb. | but to put over such deals they will have to remove strength from, some | department.

At the end of the first half of the contest with Lander, Casper was showing itself, as indicated in the score of 16 to 8 for that period. McKelvie had been disqualified on personal fouls. In the second half Hales went the route of McKelvie because of similar offenses. Both Davis and Hales did excellent work in forward positions.

Zuppke's teams have won three conference chempionships and tied for two others. During this interval his teams have #ted five games. Lost 17 and won 37, for a percentage of 685, the highest in the Blg Ten. Zuppke hasn't piled up his vic- torles by playing soft schedules. “Fighting Bob” has matched his Ulin! against the strongest teams. “Zup" came to Tiinols in 1913 and turned out a fair team that season. In 1914 his team was the undisputed champion. The third year the THini tied for the flag. This impressive beginning was no flash in the pan. Illinois lost but nine. conference games in the follow- ing eight years. In 1918 and in 1919 Utles were copped and in 1920 Ii- Unols was nosed out only in the final game for the championship. The next two years were low ones but Illinois came back in 1923, when every game was won and a cham- pionship shared.
