While no one glortes in the fall | of the stalwart athletes from Stan- ford, coached by the bralny Warner, vet a defeat for Notre Dame would | have been cause for much disap- pointment. | For one of the few times in the | ! history of football it is possible to | point to a team as the real collegi- i ate champion of the universe, Notre Dame journeyed to Stan-| ford, admittedly the best team in the east, west and south. It had only to triumph over Stanford, | champions of the coast, to make it | unanimous. Notre Dame decisively beat two | {of the best teams of the cast in Princeton and the Army. It won over Wisconsin and Northwestern in the Big Ten, overwhelmed its jinx n, Nebraska, and decisively de- 1 Georgia Tech, one of the lead- ms of the south. . e Knute That is why the victory over Stan- ford is 8o popular, It makes Notre Dame the outstanding team of the country, while the defeat in no way Lurts the prestige of Stanford on the const. Notre Dame's victory over Stan- ford was no easy task. Rockne's athlet outcharged in the line, un- able to gain as many yards from rimmage as did Stanford, won be- ise it played smart football, the game that made the Notre me elevén of 1924 unbeatable, While the touchdowns made b Notre Dame were contributed by the men on the field, the brains back | of Notre Dame’s strategy, Knute | Rockne, must be given the major portion of the praise that belongs to the men from South Bend. Rockne conditioned his men for | the big game differently from the | methods cver before used by an in- | vading coach (] Instead of leaving his home base at the last possible moment to reach | the coast in time for the game, | Rockne worked his men westward by gradual stages. - P . favorite allbl of castern &baches | when vanquished by a coast eleven. | T have no doubt such an alibi has| been based on fact, but Rockne's | methods killed off his best excuse in case of defeat.

Whitman added two more points via the foul route and a field basket by Morelli made the score 5 to 0 in favor of R. and E, Whitman fouled Walther and the rangy D center gave his team eir fisst point, following it up an tnstant Jater witp a double decker. Swanson, on free tries, added two points and Woodford repeated for his team when another two counter by Walther evened the score at 7 all. A nice shot by Whitman put the i bunch ahcad, but just be- half ended Walther got his 1 ficld goal and tied it at 9. sce-sawing back and forth, giving a poor exhibition of the®game, and with but five minutes left to play the score was tied at 14 each. Drowaell and the latter made good, giving the Rule Shop a [ point advantage. Saxe fouled fouled him. Gehrkowsk! added an- other point when Walther fouled him. The first basket of the game went to Red Nelson, who took a nice pass from Paulson and dropped it in. An instant later Red got an- other pass near the 15 foot mark and made the score 6 to 1 in his favor, At this point Gehrkowskl went out via the foul route and Be- loin took his place. Another double by Nelson then made the score board read 8§ to 1, Fafoir, It was then 10 to 1 when Beloin swished the net for two points. The Lock makers speed- ed up here and Carrazza eluded the tenacious Paulson for a double deck- er, but an instant later Paulson shot a foul and the count was 11 to 3. Kamenicky shot a beautitul ficld goal and followed with another, giv- ing the Lock makers 7 points, and the half ended with Weir shooting a foul as Yankaskas was chased to the showers after four offenses. The score at half time was 12 and 7, Fafnir, The opening tally in the second half was a foul shot by Chief Larson Who got one after Paulson had push- ed him too forcibly, Here Carrazza stood alone under the Fafnir basket and when the ball was flipped to him on a back-court play he forgot that goals had been changgd and dropped it through, This absent minded play cost his team two points sinec the credit went to the Fafnirs. After three mintues of play the Fafnirs uncorked some excellent team work and on a triple pass under the bas- ket, Beloin to Anderson to Welr, the last named dropped in a double decker. Red Nelson followed with another two pointer making the score 18 to 8. Here Carrazza was caught holding Anderson and the latter made it 19 to 8. Beloin made 809d on two foul shot and Kamenic- ky took a long pass and flipped the ball in for his team's 10th point, On the tap-off the ball went to the side-court with Kamenicky and Weir in hot pursuit. Both reached | paris, Jan. 7.—Luclen Vinez, light- | the ball at the same time and in the tug of war that followed somebody lost his temper. At any rate, the next instant there was the sound of a healthy “sock” and Weir and Kamenicky were staging a Kaplan- Kramer. For an instant it looked like a small riot, with the erowd surging onto the floor and players either sceking to enter the fray or act as peacemakers.

By knocking out McTigue or winning on a foul, Walker can capture the 175-pound crown. On the other hand, a knockout victory for McTigue wdhld still leave Walker king of the 147 pounders, as the light heavyweight champlon is not eligible for the welterweight division. Although the men are two divi- slons apart there will not be a great difference in their weight when they step Into the ring. McTigue, really a middlweight, will scale near the 160 pound mark while Walker will come in around 153, » If Walker succeeds in stopping McTigue within the 12-round limit and thereby ‘winning the world's 175 pound crown, it will be the sec- ond time in boxing history that a fighter has held two titles in such | widely separated divisions.
