WE'RE IN PARIS NOTRE DAME USUALLY AT PEAK AT THIS SEASON OF THE YEAR Long Migrations and Hard Schedules Usually Weaken Rockne’s Elevens Toward End of Year, Sport Scribe Observes By LAWRENCE PERRY. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Oct. 29.—Annually at this stason of the year Notre Dame presents the best offensive and defensive football e’even that the writer has ever seen. Later, dus probably to the cumulative ef- fect of long migrations, the team seems to slump and usually experi- ences defeat. But from the middle ‘mtil the latter part of October, the South Bend outfit in all that per- tains to the app‘ication of power, the interposition of deceult, mental alertness and physical dexterity, is quite in a class by itself. And on defense, no’ eleven in whatever section of the country has so uncanny an ability to place ob- stacles in the path of the best com. ceived assaults. . All that has been said above may ye, said of this year's Notre Dame elevén. Against Princeton on Sat- urday, the e’even had but one ma- terial’ flaw, fumbling. In detailed knowledge of every point of foot- hall, in poise and confidence, Notre, Dame this fall, as in past recent) years, compares to most college elevens as the New York Giants compare to the Boston Braves. Of course the Hoosiers have splen- did materia!. Any team blessed with Notre Dame's tackles and ends and In the backfield, with Layden, Stuhldreher, Miller and Crowley, would make any coach who knows his business at all well look good. But Knute Rockne fs so gifted an organizer so brilliant In inducting what he wishes to teach, so mag- netic in personality, that far from being made by his men it is the other way about—Knute, in short, makes every man who comes under him a better man than he other- wise would have been, His position {s an enviable one. In ‘Princeton, for than a few faculty obstacles. It is dents are in college essentially to study and there seems to be a grow: ing faculty sentiment that football is an excrescence that must be re- moved, if not by a major operation, at least by the slow and insidious application of some deadly pedago- gical acid. The value of all this is later to be determined. In Notre Dame it {s also the idea that students are there to study. And study they do. But ft $s also recognized that football is a valu- able adjunct to university Ife, that the spirit of the gridiron sport is a wholesome influence in the univer- sity atmosphere. So when the play- ers go abroad, priests go with them and hear thelr lessons. Thus class standing {s maintained. But foot- owe. KOA grueling game and con- tinued traveling is likely to tell upon the freshness. and ce of young athletes. All of which seems to be the single flaw in the Notre Dame system. Rockhe can ca'l his men together ‘whenever he presses a button and they say he presses it at the noon hour as well as in the afternoon and throughout the collegiate year they are under his supervising thumb. Princton nor any other eleven that limits preliminary season practice to a week before the opening of col- lege can hope to cope with Notre Dame at this season of the year, whatever it might do In late Novem- ber. It was perhaps tn realization of this that Princeton has declined to make a new two-year contract with Notre Dame and why Dart- mouth’s reported ambition for an October game will not be met. Princeton would lke to meet bot her experisnce with Notre Dame has been altogether plecsant and valuable and Knute Rockne is high- ly esteemed as a man and as a coach, But under present condl- tions at Princeton, the demands of these hard October games can not held at those places that the stu-be met. CHAMPS THAT WON'T FIGHT KILL BOXING GAME, SAYS FARRELL By HENRY L. FARRELL. (United Press Sports Editor) CHICAGO, Oct. 29. (United Press). —With Jack Dempsey doing a vaudeville act and with Benny Leon- ard finishing movies and preparing to do some heavy acting in a road show this winter, the prospects for a busy {indoor boxing season are slipping. The purposes of both Dempsey and Leonard in saying periodically that they are preparing to defend their titles are becoming plain. The threats to fight all ‘their nearest contenders are designed only for publicity to steam up some enter- prise not associated with the fight business. Dempsey is said to be working on a contract for $10,000 a week, but that sum probably is as much in- flated as was the million dollars he was sald to be getting for his last movie. ~The amount of Leon- ard’s pay check has not heen made public, because the lightweight champion wouldn’t want to make it appear that he was worth less to the amusement public than Demp- séy and He wouldn't be foolish enough to claim he was getting ten grand. If there {s such a thing as a duty or an obligation to the public that has given them each a_ fortune, Dempsey and Leonard are throwing down their friends, but there is no such a thing as a prize fighter's duty. It is a question if the public gives much of a darn, because con- gress hasn't been asked to do any- thing about it. But thetr associates in the business find room for com- plaint on the ground that they are acting In restraint of trade. Dempsey never has committed himself about -hie ideas of what he owes to the boxing business, but Leonard ‘has openly that he is not in debt to boxing and that box- ing owes him a lot for having cdn- tributed his ‘great ability and his noble personality to its elevation, Leonard told a group of newspaper- men when he was making one of his pictures that he was sick of the boxing game and he wanted to get out of it. He really wants to be- come another Al Jolson or Eddie Cantor, two million dollar a year stars of the stage, and from his con- versation the idea is made plain that he feels he is just as good as they are. In that one respect he cer- tainly is as funny as they are, Leonard is not consistent if he is sincere in his announced desire to get out of the boxing business. He ought to remain and let someone else have a chance to make the money he has hauled out of the ring with him. He ought to give up the title if he sti has a Nking for the game, because he can't make the lightweight limit and {t ts doubt- ful that he could make the welter- weight poundage. The lightweight titte, of course, even if he should fatten into the beltage of nm ght heavyweight, would still be a means of advertis- ing his sidelines and as long as he can get that advertising he will keep the title. Other fighters who have been for- tunate to acquire the money or the independent station of Dempsey complain that their inactivity {# hurting the game and entting down profits. There is something relat- ed to alarm in the present situa- tion where the prize fighters are finding out that promoters won't offer them one-half of what they were commanding a year or two ago. The outdoor boxing season was such a bust this summer that the business suffered an acute panic. Not only the heavyweights and rr Jack Keefe the lightwelghts are complaining. The little fellows claim when the heavyweight champion and the lightweight champion are not ac- tve that the whole business slumps, because the fans who pay the freight lose interest in all the classes, The Uttle fellows have trouble right in thelr own ranks because Abe Goldstein and Pancho Villa, while they are not trying to knock the stage dead, are refusing to knock anything dead. Goldstein's only desire is to keep the title and make easy money with set-up op- ponents and Villa ran so fast away from Frankie Genaro that his mo- mentum carried him clear back to the Philippine Islands, aided by a Passport from the New York Boxing commission good for eight months. ‘When the theaterical press agents were getting Dempsey back into public notice prepartory .to his re- turn to vaudeville, the heavyweight champion capitalized on the nouncement that he was ready to be nice to the fans and that he would be reasonable enough to accept a match in Madison Square Garden this winter with Tom Gibbons or Jack Renault, Gibbons was under contract and Renault was said to be willing to go. The bally-hoo was on and Dempsey started strict training, but he ran right out of the gymnasium in ‘perfect condition” and beautiful sprinting form into the theater. It is likely that with the lack of interest the public is assuming in all boxing that the sport fans don’t care one way or another what Dempsey and Leonard do. It is quite certain that New York isn’t in tears and the fans outside shouldn't care “because they rarely get to see any of the big champions in a real championship fight. Dempsey and Leonard may regret it, however. If they continue to help the pub'le get off boxing, they will find public sentiment reflected In the box office when they do de- elde to fight, MALONE MEETS ~ MICKY WALKER Battle Tonight: to Hold ‘Keen Interest for the * Ring Fans By FAIR PLAY. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Oct. 29.—Put Mickey Walker and Jock Malone alongside each cther and you feel sorry for the merry hearted Irish lad from the banks of the Mississtpp!. The two meet tonight. Jock's legs are a little thin and he hag not got a body that looks as though it would stand a lot of such punishment as Walker can hand out, whereas Mickey ts built like a block, Walker, beginning with his late Bobby Barrett battle, took off the wraps he had been wearing for a few years—in order to get fights, of course, and asserted from then on he was going to step into Jack Dempsey's clase as a knocker-out. He certainly kept his promise against the carrot-headed protege of Jimmy Dougherty. Barrett is a pretty rugged boy with a hard wal- lop, but Walker cut him down like ® combinaticn steam roller und mow- ing machin That is th way they will all fare, says Mickey, from now on, Ma- lone says not, He gained a decision from Mickey in Boston in 1922. be- fore Walker was 2 champion. Walk- er has never attempted to laugh off that decision, but hag been biding hiv time, Malone is as clever as they make them and Ughtning fast. If Walker catches him the way he wants him several times Malone may fade out, but if he does it will be a great uc- hievement for the welter Ic Malone is hard to hit and stil er to hurt, The fact that JefRey gets this fine battle ts the penalty for the mix-up which the boxing commission of this state has had with Walker due to his refusal to meet Dave Shade before taking on several other bouts. Walker had agreed to meet Benny Leonard and when the match fell through because of no fault of Mickey's, the commission picked on him to mix with Shade, Thana ttsceay il Interest in football {8 sweeping the south this fall.

WALTER JOHNSON DICKERING FOR SHARE IN MORMON CLUB (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Oct. 29.—Salt Lake City is stirring with reports that Walter Johnson is going to be part owner of the club that, represents Salt Lake City in the Pacific coast league. William Lane. present owner of the Salt Lake City franschise, did not have a season of great populart- ty’ in what should have been his town. He took the team out on the road once during the past sum- mer and sald he would play around the circuit because he wasn't getting the home support he ought to. Now he Js anxious to hook up with FOOTBALL QUESTIONS ADDRESS: Lawrence Perry, Correspondent Spectal Football of the Casper Tribune, 814 World Building, New York. If you have some question to ask about footbull— If you want a rule interpreted— If you want to know anything about a play— Write to Lawrence Perry, for fifteen years an authority on the Game as writer and official, It you want a personal reply en- close a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Otherwise your ques- tion will be answered in column. this i—In the do not seem to be living up to the ruling concerning a» punted ball Striking one of the kicker’s own team. The interpretation at the Rule Committee session as I read it, was that the man whom the ball struck was not counted as offside. ANSWER—That was in the inter- pretation by the Rules Committee but In the west they do not accept this, they maintain that an offside when a punted ball strikes a player circumstances, So in ‘the west when a punted bill strikes a player of the kicker’s team the ball goes to the opposing team. It, might be suggested that such a division is regrettable, for it opens the sus- picion that a time may come when the east and the west will be play- ing under different rules, QUESTION—What fs the score of a forfeited game? A bets it is 1 to nothing. B bets it is 2 to nothing. ANSWER—For a forfeited game 1 to nothing. It used to be two but that- made it the same as a safety, so the score was reduced to one, QUESTION—What Is the longest penalty that can be made in foot- ball? Is it as I have heard stated, half the distance to the goal line? ANSWER—Ordinarily yes. But many strange things can happen in| football. Here is a longer penalty. Team A kicks off from its own ten yard line, There is a, heavy wid blowing with the kick, The b rolls and is blown back to team ten yard line. Here it 1s picked up by a meber of team B who has run back to recover the ball. With him is another member of his team who runs as interferer for the man who recovered the ball. And end of Team <A, the kicking team, has come down the field to tackle the man with the ball, but the man who 1s interfering for the ball car- rier clips this end from behind, put- ting him out of the play. Th penalty being imposed from the spot where the ball was put in play (kicked) means a penalty of about eighty yards, QUESTION—In a game fn which X¥ was captain of one of the teams a punt was touched by an offside man. The umpire yelled “free ball". Was it the umpi right to do this? Should not he have kept still and left such calling to & player? ANSWER—The rutes do not for the QUESTION—Suppose team A for- ward passes a ball over the oppos- ing goal line, ‘The receiver is over the goal line about to catch ts when a man of team B pulls him out of the way. What is the decision? ANSWER—Touchdown for team A. QUESTION—Team A wins tous | who also owns the Chicago Cubs. Lane would handle a team at Los Angeles that would play when the regular Los Angeles Angels were else where. That, of course, would freeze out the Vernon club. if Johnson were to go to Salt Lake he probably could make a go of it. It is belleved that citizens would help him by putting up a new ball park which is sorely needed and by turning out to support the team. “Johnson has had no managertal experience, but he has a practical doddle and that is as good sometimes in baseball as experience. He knows ball players when he sees them and he should be able to handle them well, es and chooses the goal. Is team BD automatically compelled to kick off. ANSWER—No. The team losing the tess may choose whether to kick off or te receive in case the team winning the toas chooses the goal, — QUESTION—Is John Levl, the fa- mous Haskell Indian player still on the Haskell team? Is he as good as Jim Thorpe used to be? ANSWER—Yes, he is, He ts not as good as Jim Thorpe used to be. > Goldstein to Battle Martin NEW YORK, Oct. 29.—Abe Gold- stein has signed articles to defend the world against Cannonball Eddie Martin in a 16-round bout at Madi- son Square Garden on December 12, it became known yesterday.
