SPORTS/) Georgia Tech and California HAVE THREE DAYS MORE TO TUNE UP [Three Members of Tornado {1, but Team as Whole Is in Good Trim. By the Associated Press. ASADENA, Calif.,, Deecmber 28.— With but three practice days remaining before their New Year's struggle here, the foot ball machines of California and Georgia Tech begun to get into fighting shape. Coach Clarence M. “Nibs” Price is satisfied that the physical condition of his players is nearing the height that he desires, and, accordingly, he has cut the Bears’ practice down to a single work-out daily. When the Bears ar- rived here a week ago they carried some excess poundage and were short on wind. But two work-outs a day up until yesterday - have accomplished wonders. California had been away from the gridiron considerably longer than the ‘Tech players. The Bears shut down on their pigskin activities immediately after the game with Stanford on No- vember 24, and did not resume prac- tice until a week ago. Tech, on the other hand, concluded its regular sched- ule December 8, missed but one week’s practice, and then went back to work. Reports from the Tech camp told of the continued illness of Raleigh Dren- non, regular guard, and his under- study, Jim Brooke, but the team as a ‘whole is beginning to show a brighten- ing luster, both defensively and of- fensively. Its plays are clicking better. ‘The golden tornado was put through & long work-out at the Rose bowl by Coach Bill Alexander yesterday after- noon and the occasion marked the first e that Tech has really cut loose since touching Western soil. “To close the drill, Alexander gave Bob Durant, quarterback, orders to loosen up with some of Tech's pet pass plays, and for 20 minutes the ball sailed up and down the field in a number of for- mations that are likely to annoy the Bears considerably. ‘The California squad has yet to de- wote a long period of time to defensive drilling, the work to date mainly has been offensive, Coach Price indicating that California might get around to de- fensive drill today. as a result of the strenuous scrimmage sesslons the Bears have been under- going, but is expected to be in shape for the game. Two or three other Bears are nursing bumps and bruises. Both Drennon and Brooke, who_had been ill with fever, were at the Rose bowl yesterday during Tech's work-out, but neither donned his foot ball togs. Brooke was expected to be ready for work today, but it was doubtful whether Drennon would be able to engage in scrimmage prior to the game. —_— MONSTER ATHLETIC PROGRAM PLANNED Chicago Already Is Looking to Contest for World Fairin 1933. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, December 28.—The most ambitious sports program of all time is being planned by Chicago sportsmen for the Chicago World Fair Centennial celebration in 1933.

EAST-WEST TEAMS READY FOR BATTLE Merely Tuning Up Today for Their Charity Game at Frisco Tomorrow. SAN FRANCISCO, December 28 (#). —With scrimmage over, coaches of the all-star teams which will meet here to- morrow in the East-West charity foot ball game tuned up their starting elevens. A week’s practice has claimed several victims_for the injured list, with the West _the biggest loser. When Coach Orin E. Hollingbery lined up the West- erners, two aces occupied non-playing roles. Brick Marcus, former California halfback, smashed his left shoulder in scrimmage, while Granucci, Santa Clara center, was hurt in an automobile accident. Granucci’s elbow was cut and oruised, but he may yet get into the game. Marcus is definitely out. Either Lewls, Stanford, all-lround backfield man, or Simas, St. Mary's quarterback, will replace Muws ‘The East had a casualty in Mitchell, Bucknell center, who injured an anklé during scrimmage. It was not serious, however, and Coach Andy Kerr expects to have him ready for play by Satur- day.
