TEAM HIGH SPIRITED BUT TRAVEL WEARY Alabama Eleven ““Looks Big” to Hollingbery—Coaches Mum on Outcome. By the Associated Press. ASADENA, Calif., December 24 —Scarcely more than a punt and a pass removed from the Rose Bowl, where the annual New Year day Tourna- ment of Roses foot ball finale will be presented, the Crimson Tide of Alabama today started generating power to be turned loose upon ‘Washington State. Weary of travel, but fresh of spirit, Coach ~Wallace Wade's soft-spoken Southerners sorted out their gridiron trapping for a renewal of practice periods, eager to begin final preparation for the classic which marks their third Western invasion. A team of power was this Alabama aggregation, which disployed business- aggregation, which displayed business- through a short but impressive work- out only a few minutes after climbing stiffly from a special train. Maké No Prediction. ‘There were no predictions to be made by team or coach on arrival. Wade said his meg were in good condition; that they would settle down to an un- interrupted grind of preparation and that, while California weather was & trifie warmer than that in Alabama..it would have no effect on the team. That was all. Capt. Charles “Foots” Clement regis- tered surprise that his team should rate as favorites. “I don't see why we should be given the edge after traveling clear across_the country, but we'll sure put everything we have, you all can bank on that.” The Alabamans were pleased with their reception. Washington State of- ficlals were in the crowd of more than a thousand, Even Coach Orin “Babe” Hollingbery left his team in the middle of its second practice session here to welcome his foes. “Gosh, they look big,” he commented. Cougars Speed Up. The Cougars stepped right into stride yesterday afternoon and started run- ning signal drill after considerable work on fundamentals. Present plans call for increased work through the re- mainder of the week, with no excep- tion made for Christmas day. The Scuthern boys were no more tired than their newly acquired mascot. At Phoenix, Ariz, “Poison,” a black done key, was presented the team. Just a few hands high, the “mountain canary” was t00 weary to travel under its own power and was transported to the hotel in the same truck with the team’s ba ge. . jsan” probably will pay & call on Washington State’s cougar, “Butch Meeker,” today or tomorrow. The meeting is expected to be very informal, with no festivities planned, for the mountain lion has been hungry and moody since arrival.

NNAPOLIS, Md., December 24—Willlam A. (Navy BilD) Ingram will coach the Naval Academy foot ball squad for another year at least and may contract with the ath- letic officials of that institution for the next two years. This information was sent to An- napolis by Coach Bill himself, together with a denial of the report that he had applied for the job of coach at the University of California, as reported. Should the Naval Academy officials offer a two-year contract to Ingram, they will be going beyond what they do for ‘any other coach, as the settled policy for years has been to engage coaches for one year only. These details will be settled shortly after the first of the year, when Ingram will be in Annapolis for a conference with the representatives of the Naval Athletic Association.

If the commission accepts this prom- ise, the way would be paved for a match between Sharkey and Stribling or Sharkey and Campolo early in the Spring. Unless Sharkey can prove conclusively in actual combat that he is the best challenger available, experts feel a Sharkey-Schmeling bout is fore- doomed to financial failure. Chicago promoters have offered Schmeling $500,000 to fight Stribling there in June, but present indications are that the title bout, if and when it 15 held, will be staged here. s Pl R, LITTLE POISON TELLS Lloyd Waner Big Noise of Pirates in His Few Games.

McCALLUM. OLF course construction work and much of the maintenance has been suspended until warmer weather makes it possible to work the ground and grow- ing grass brings the same old problems to greenkeepers, but there is no lack of thought going into these matters. Two years ago there was organized the Middle Atlantic Association of Greenkeepers, a body made up of the greenkeepers and their assistants. Re- member how your putting greens were last Summer and compare them with | the greens of five or ten ycars ago and see if you cannot visualizé an im- provement. Now it cannot be <‘ruthfully said that good putting greens came sabout all of a sudden because of the formation of this organization. However, there is no doubt that the formation of the greenkeepers’ association has had a lot to do with the intercnange of ideas along lines designed to improve putt- ing greens and golf courses generally. New Ideas Devcloped. Out of the meetings of this crganiza- tion have come some rew ideas which have gone into practical use on the golf courses wubout Washington and have alded”in keeping them in good condition. And out of the deliberations of these men charged with the job of keeping up an expensive investment has come the virtual admission that only two kinds, of bent grasses are suited for putting green grass around Wash- ington. Some 8 or 10 years ago the late Prof. C. V. Piper discovered on the old and abandoned fourth green at the Wash- ington Golf and Country Club an en- tirely new variety of grass, which had not been noticed before. The grass was developed and put through tests to de- termine its resistance to the then new disease—brown patch. It was found hat this grass was highly resistant to brown patch and that if it was kept | fre= of the fungus shortly after sun-up | it would not develop brown patch to the extent that other grasses were af- | fected. That grass now is the chief | putting green grass around Washington, | and the greenkecpers regard the Wash- | ington strain of creeping bent and the Metropolitan bent as th: finest grass | for_putting greens in this locali ion harm, . ‘Those fine putting greens at ‘Tree and the Army- Navy Club are largely of Metropolitan bent, while most of those at Washington are of the Washington strain, Some Interesting The greenkeepers’ association has had some interesting experiments with poa annua, the putting green grass which used to be condemned as a weed and now is coming to be regarded as a high- ly desirable putting yeen cover. Many of the greens at Washington become poa annua greens d the growing season in April and May, and then go back to bent when the poa annua seeds and fades out. Such greens as the sixth and seventeenth at Columbia are almost pure poa annua during the sea- son. When the grass is killed by frost the bent remains in good condition. The greenkeepers are working to de- velop this poa annua as an adjunct to the purer strains of bent, realizing that it makes an excellent putting green sur- face in between the time the slower bent grasses require to grow and the time ffi'e poa annua seeds and practically es. This is just one of the phases of the work of the greenkeepers. Every golfer around Washington is indebted to this association, which is wm'k.lnfi along lines designed to make your golf course as foclproof as possible and capable of being kept in fine condition day in and day out, regardless of weather. ‘The next meeting of the green- keepers’ association will be held at the Hamilton Hotel the evening of Jan- uary 12.

EW YORK; December 24.— The last championship boxing bout of the year { will be staged in Madison Square Garden on Friday night, when Midget Wolgast of Philadel- phia meets Frankie Genaro, one of Father Knickerbocker's boys, in aills-round battle for the flyweight title. ‘They are the only survivors of a whole gang of “champions” claiming the title in the last few years, and the one who emerges with the victory will pass unchallenged into the hall where titleholders sit upon their thrones, ‘Wolgast, as far as this State is con- cerned, will be defending.the title, as he was recognized by the New York Boxing Commission when he won a tournament staged here earlier in the year. Real Champ This Time. The National Boxing Association, which manages to disagree with the New York body on every possible occa- slon, refused to look upon Wolgast as king of the little fellows, reserving that honor for Genaro. Thus a New York ¢ boxer will carry the colors of the N. B. A. and a boxer from a State belonging to the N. B. A. will represent the New York Commission. ‘This bout has been postponed several times, first one and then the other prin- cipal bobbing up with some excuse. Let us hope they finally settle their argu- ment this time. Wolgast should be right on edge, as he took the nod last Friday night in ‘Toronto over Willie Davis, who used to be a top-notch flyweight, but now oper- atesras a bantam. Should Genaro win, the firm of Ja- cobs & McCarney would have two champlons, one at each end of the line, as that outfit also man: Max Schmeling, heavyweight titleholder. Ja. cobs has devoted most of his time %o, Sohmeling, leaving it to McCarney to guide Genaro, and thus far the old p;ailessor has’ done a very good job of it.
