After that effort, however, Cnicago could not keep up its great pace and was sore- put to it to defeat Northwestern to 9 a week ago and to halt the University of Wisconsin to a score- jess tie Saturday. The smashing by Chicago spelled doom for Tlinois’ title hopes how- ever, as the Illini fell a ready. vic- tim to Minesota last week and were WORLAND READY FOR THERMOP IN THURSDAY GAME Washakie Warriors Ex- pect to Beat Hot Springs Representatives. hy WORLAND, Wyo., Nov. 24.—With a 23 to 0 victory over the hardy Greybull squad to their credit, the ‘Waghakie Warriors are prepared to mal a strenuous protest if wise acres ignore their claims to possible championship honors and to several berths on the mythical all-Wyoming team. Local fans are keyed. up for the Thanksgiving tilt with Thermopolis, and the Worland eleyen {s grimly re- solved to wipe out if possible the one blot on its escutcheon by turn- ing the tables on the team re- sponsible for its one defeat of the season and dragging the Hot Springs squad down from its pedestal as one of the two unbeaten elevens in the state. In Friday's game Worland took the lead against its heavier oppo nents in the first five minutes Play and never was- headed, once during the game did the threaten seriously. A long run b3 Harkins in the last quarter account ed for the second Washakie touch- down; a drop kick by BE. Cotterell netted three more tallies, and the last score came when McPike intec- cepted a Greybull pass and raced over the line, R. Cotterell is/regarded locally as inevitable shoice for one of the wing positions on the all-state team, and Harkins is considered a strong con- tender for quarter. Wes Johnson was the outstanding backfleld man in Friday’s game. Fahr at quarter was Greybull’s. stellar performer. Handling his bulk with amazing facility, he proved one of the shifticst runners ever n_on the Worland gridiro: able to defeat Ohio State only 7 to 0 Saturday. That it had sapped much of Min- nesota’s strength to down Illinois Was evidented Saturday, however, wneh the gophers were defeated 16-0 by Vanderbilt, which had lost two games to Southern conference teams and was tabbed to be easy prey for the school which had eliminated Ilt- nois and the great Harold Grange in the big ten.

The Hawkeye victory tied Illinois for second place and sent Michigan to fourth. Purdue, dedicating her new sta- dium Saturday, defeated Indiana for fifth place in the conference rating. Minnesota, with one victory and two defeats, landed in sixth place. Seventh place was a triple tie of Ohfo state, Indiana and Northwest- ern with one won and three lost each. ‘Wisconsin falled to win a conference game, although trying two. Northwestern, out of the cellar for the first time in three years, greatly through the playing of Ralph Baker, a sterling back, played the National title-claiming Notre Dame eleven to a standst'll here Saturday. The South Bend, Indiana, team ad- ded a Northwestern scalp to those of Army, Princeton, Georgit Tech, Nebraska and Wisconsin by a mar- sin of 13-6, remaining the only big eleven In the country not defeated or ted. “Red"" Grange emerged champion point scorer of the Big Ten, despite an injured shoulder that kept him out of the final game. By making 13 touchdowns he piled up 78 po!nts, one more than Rockwell of Mfchi- gan, who scored ten touchdowns, one field goal and fourteen kicks for points after touchdowns. ~Baker of Northwestern was third high man with sixty points. a].

FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—Disturbed by the sharp decline of business in the boxing racket, boxers and their managers are now ready to admit that the day of the huge purse is passing and that boxers will have to fight harder in the future for less money if the sport is to be majn- tained in the public fancy. Eddie Kane, manager for Tom Gibbons and Sammy Mandell, two of the greatest drawing cards in the game, was the first of the prom!- nent handlers of boxers ‘to read the signs and he was the first to start a new precedent for modern maha- gers that will have to be followed if the sport is to be revived. The big purses that made boxing the most profitable profession in the country for three years. resulted from outdoor shows and they were patronized so well that promoters could afford to offer absurd purses for the most ordinary attractions. It was folish to believe that the public would tolerate indefinitely such an exorbitant assessment for the enjoyment of a sport that was decreasipg constantly in class by the refusal of topnotchers to meet real opponents.

The referee says he cannot go in. The player walks off the field and the referee penalizes his team half way to the goal line which was forty- one yards. Was he right? Angswer.— The referee was correct in this: decision, Answer.—No, not a varsity play- er. Question.—Does a team have to have a referee, umpire, linesman and a field judge in a game? That is, Is there a penalty for not having them? Answer.—No. The rules commit- tee merely recommends this. —— Question.—Ball is kicked into player on, kicking side. It is re covered by the kicker, five yards back of the line. Ball did not cross line of scrimmage. Is run allowed? (2) Should it go behind the ‘kicker’s line and he fall on it there is it a safety ? Answer—(1)_ The ball in this case is free. If recovered by kicker kicking side retains bal! with loss of down. (2) Yes, Question—Quarter passes ball to half who runs with bal! but he sees he fs about to be tackled as he starts and throws it to fullback who makes a touchdown. Is the score allowed? Answer.—Yes. Question:—A forward pass fs thrown and receiver is about to catch it when a defender crashes defender was merely trying to catch into him. Is this interference? Answer.—Yes. if defender did it with purpose to interfere. But if the ball himself it is not a foul. Y ican Gwe MONSIEUR into the notion that the public would stand for anything and they wouldn't consider a match that would demand any kind of risk t their fighter. The public finally got fed up on peor shows and stoped paying the freight. The Firpo-Wills fight was such a terrible bust that it practica closéd the outdoor arenas for the Season and almost Liew up the busi- ness. Kane learned one lesson when the Dempsey-Gibbons fight blew up in| Shelby, and left him and Gibins without a red cent for their end. He had another ‘lesson in London this summer when the promoter of the Gibbons-Bloomfteld fight skipped and left him with a perfectly good | court judgment for $35,000 that | couldn't be collected. | Those two experiences we enough for Kane. “There's nc more big dough in boxing unless | you can get Dempsey in the ring Kane told friends when he returned from England. “Gibbons from now on, will take any opponent an get or the best offer, We're not going to demand.anything, We'll take what we can get as long as it fs a fair price.” Kane then signed an agreement with Tex Rickard to match Gibbons with any opponent Rickard could wet. He accepted a percentage for his end and agreed to accept a match “inside or outside." When Rickard tried to get Gene Tunney, the American light heavy weight champion, ‘Tunney sald It’s an outdoor match.” When Jack Renault, the Cana reayyweight champion, wa ched, he turned the offer down | saying: “It's too big a match for indoor: Kane was given the same answers when he tried to get Luis Firpo to meet Gibbons. Managers of other | boxers, who didn't want a Gibbons match, ins'de or outside, hid behind the same ailibi nit for the outdoor s “We're going to fight | inter as times as we ca matches,” Kane sald. ‘Waiting for another outdoor season is a waste of time because we can get just as much money out of a packed housy in Madison Square Garden as we would get in a half-filled basebal’ park and there are no weather gam bles on an inside bout. “Fans will buy high-priced in Madison Square Garden becau: they know just where th will be. They know that they w tet into their seat without an: fusion and that they can see from their plac I may be wrong about the’ situation but I don’t believe I am, and I am going to try it.” After a lot of aggravating delays Kane finally got Gibbons or Aolk matched for a charity show in the Garden on December 8. That match may and probably will do a Tot to get boxing back on its feet and restore its popularity. There is no element in the match of money grabbing and there certainly {s a strong factor of contest along with the natural appeal of contributing to the worthy cause of providing a little Christmas cheer for the poor families of the East side tenements. Gibbons and Norfolk are two of the best heavyweights in the game. Perhaps they are the best. No one would fight Gibbons and no one wanted to fight Norfolk. Gibbons hardly could have picked a better opponent at the weight and it is certain that Norfolk couldn't have ‘Gibbot times in ere wil that more If oth x e wil because cap of Customers rants now are Hable to a new tax, but watters refuse to collect it unless they are o the t For results try a Tribune Classi- fied Ads signed for a better fighter than Gib- bons, with the exception of Dempsey, and the champion would be too heavy for the colored boy. It ought to be a great fight. Even if tt doesn’t go long the fans hardly will leave the arena with the feeling that they had been bunked again by an inferior card for fancy prices. In addition, Gibbons showed more of his fine- sportsmanship by push- ing aside the color line. Tom was frank if addmiting some time past that he didn’t want to engage in any mixed bouts but just recently he said that such feelings were not good sportsmanship, that colored boxers had as much right to make a living in the ring as he had and that he didn't believe the right kind of a match would hurt boxing. “T can't get any one else to meet me,” Tom said. “If Norfolk is willing, I'll certainly place no ob- structions in the way.” Kane and Gibbons fee} if they win that they will be in a much better position to get a good match cut- PAGE FIVE.
