220 -SPORTS ~Centre-California Ga TILT OF UNBE ATEN TE AMS The End of a Beautiful Friendship. - SHOULD PRODUCE THRILLS Muller and Roberts Figu re to Be Most Interesting Players in Clash Aside From Bo McMillin— Both Rely on Whirlwind Attack. CE Centre College has accept: the coast for the Christmas d: of the hour—the eleveath hour at that ed the invitation to make the trip to ay game at San Diego, the question in the foot ball world is how the Kentucky team would shape up against “the bears” of the Uni- versity of California, should they be matched, as seems probable. California’s champion foot ball t game New Year day at Pasadena, anxious to journey west, an opponent has not New Year day, California defeated Ohio State at With San Diego, Calif, having Centre College, conqueror of Harvard, signed for a game Christmas day, but having no opponent, there is talk that California may make up the defl- ciency. As for the Pasadena game, Towa, big ten champion, is consider- ing making the trip. California would prefer lowa to Centre, as the former is a representative state university. ming California and Centre meet either at Pasadena or San Diego, “Brick”. Muller of California and “Red” Roberts of Centre probably would be the most interesting figures on the gridiron aside from the well known “Bo" McMillin. Roberts is of rounded contour. In fact, persons who gaze upon him for the first time think he Is fat. as they once did Henry of Washington and Jefferson, the star tackle of the day. Roberts Bundle of Energy. Roberts is so_active that in_ the game in which Centre defeated Har- vard there was much criticism be- cause the Crimson directed so many plays against Roberts. It did not at all.” Roberts simply got to the point where the play was coming. But if Roberts is a star, how about the feeling of the entire Pacific coast about the 190-pound Muller. who can clear a cross bar at six feet four inches, and whose qualities in foot ball include the usual duties of an end plus throwing fifty and sixty yard forward passes and being the recelver of others. Back of the line “Bo” McMillin, all- American quarterback, will direct Centre’s plays, and will do a little running himself, waile Erb, the Cali- fornia star, will confine himself more largely to the regular duties of a quarter. It would not be surprising if Nisbet, the California back. should gain in an_exchange of kicks. And altbough Centre learned her lesson last year against Harvard when she found her line defense and line at- tack were not what they should be and has improved n line drive im- mensely. California has the more powerful set of forwards. with Mc- Millan, Latham and Cranmer. Cali- fornia has another star end in Ste- phens, and so has Centre in Snoddy. Nickols and Toomey are good in the California backfield. but it is doubtful if any one in the backfield can eclipse “Bo” McMillin. The Centre team will have to keep Muller from getting into McMillin, however, and, on the other hand, Centre will have to watch Mul- ler's forward-passing proclivities, both in launching them and in receiving them. 5 Nearest Comparinon of Teams. Perhaps the nearest comparison of the two teams is to be made by Cen- tre's victory over Auburn and Call- fornia's victory over Stanford. Centre made 29 first downs against Auburn and carried the ball 448 yards from formations and ran bagck punts 111 yards. California did practically as well against Stanford. but was scored upon, owing to a fumble by Toomey, in the early stages of the game. . Altogether, it appears as though California might outkick Centre and be somewhat superior in straight-line drive. But Centre will furnish a kind of opposition which California has not faced hitherto in such a brilliant pair as McMillin and Roberts. How the long trip to the coast will affect the Centre team is a_question. The trip and the climate probably will take something out of the Kentuck- jans. If either McMillin or Roberts should go wrong, California should have an easy time of it, but if these two men are in their usual fine shape the California defense will have to extend itself. There should be some fireworks in the form of forward passes, as both teams are proficient in this play. N Centre has not suffered defeat this year, nor has California. The latter knows what it is to come from be- hind, because that is what it had to do in the game with Stanford. Both are scoring teams and rely upon a whirlwind attack. California is the more experienced, defensively, es- pecially to the running game, and that is a considerable asset. MICHIGAN NOT TO LIST ° EASTERN FOE FOR 1922 ANN ARBOR, Mich., December 1.— Fielding H. Yost, University of Michi- gan athletic_director, who leaves to- morrow for Chicago for the scheduled meeting of the “big ten,” said today the Wolverines could _not consider a game with an_eastern eleven next year, but probably would seek a con- test with Vanderbilt or one of the weaker conference elevens.

Ga., December 1.— Anonymous letters and _telegrams from Atlanta containing sneers and insults to Centre College have pre- vented Georgia Tech and Centre ar- ranging a foot ball game for 1922 in Atlanta, according to Dr. S. S. Wal- lace of the Georgia Tech athletic committee. .o Dr. Wallace made public_excerpts from a letter from J. B. Wood of Chicago, alumni manager of Centre athletics, saying “this fall we have been receiving regularly letters, tele- grams, marked coples of papers, cov- ered with sneers, insults and the like.” Mr. Wood added, according to Dr. Wallace, that “in justice to Tech. I should say they are most likely in no way responsible.” but that it was felt it would be best to_defer a game in Atlanta until “this spirit among the followers and sympathizers has undergone a change.” Dr. Wallace issued a statement say- ing no one connected with Georgia Tech and no friend of the school had anything to do with sending such communications to Centre College au- thorities. —_— SMOKY CITY PRO ELEVEN PLAYS SENATORS SUNDAY Pittsburgh’s professional foot ball team will visit here Sunday for a game with Tim Jordan's athletes at American League Park.

U NTIL Judge Landis renders his decision in the Ruth case there bulletins preparing the way for the Ruth played “naughty Bill,” and engaged in exhibition games after the world series when he was specifically forbidden by the rules to body on earth whose dignity can be it is organized base ball. President John A. Heydler of the National League thinks there are a derstand why players are forbidden world series. Briefly, he says it is for the good of base ball because players without restraint are not always care- ful to do that which is for the good of base ball. To be frank about it, they. do not think deeply about pro- tecling their own game. It is for their interest that the rules have been petition Z Some Specific Instances. Mr. Heydler could have specified cases, no doubt, if he had gone into the subject further. The following are some of the instances in which major league players in post-season contests are alleged to have brought base ball into disrepute: One major league team wernt to Cuba after a world series. While in Havana, it is charged, some of them dissipatec in public and one of them tended bar while intoxicated and “made a show of himself.” Players in a post-season exhibition series are alleged to have made a proposition to throw games. Players of a world series team ar- ranged a post-season game, advertis- ing several well known stars to ap- pear. Other players, some of them “sand lotters,” appeared under the names of the star players. Next to a riot developed. Instances are cited where players have hired men to appear for them at exhibition games. Not caring to play themselves, they sent others who were not major leaguers.
