Harry Foley and Billy Miske Matched to Fight in Omaha, _ . /Si _.... _ - - ■ - - ' --——— iWarnie Smith to Meet ScMaifer in 10-Round Go Double Windup to Feature Le gion's Card—Omaha Welter Fights Slugger of Own Type hi Oklahoman. ’ - i • -V “double windup" with heavy weights and welterweights as the main attraction will feature the American Legion’s boxing show at the Auditorium January 12, accord ing to announcement of J. J. Isaac son. legion matchmaker. Billy Miske, St. Taul heavyweight, ’ will (angle with Harry Foley, south ern light heavyweight champion, in the main bout, while Morrie Schlaifcr will meet Mamie Smith of Tulsa, Okl.. In the other half of the “double Windup." V>lr« Is regarded as one of the fitur leading heavyweights in the country today. He lias had two cracks at Jack Dempsey's crown, going 10 rounds in a no decision contest with the champion in 1918, and losing by a knockout in 1920. Miske recently fought two vicious fights with Tommy Gibbons, winning on a foul from Gibbons in New York I bout two months ago, hut losing the decision at St. Paul this month in a bout that was termed by news paper men as the “most thrilling bout St. Paul has ever seen.” In Harry Foley, Miske meets one of the younger stars of the ring. Foley Is just 22, and has been nursed along carefully by hia manager, Kd Barns back of Hot Springs, Ark. Recently Foley has been out of the ring for a. few months because of illness, but he celebrated his return to the arena by giving Farmer Lodge 40 pounds weight advantage and then defeat ing the giant Minnesotan at Grand Rapids last week. Foley is touted by eastern critics as one of the most promising of the younger heavyweights. Prominent in his record are victories over Martin llurke, Happy- Littleton, Chuck Wig gins, twice. Young Bob Fitzsimmons and Charlie Weinort, whom he knock ed out in two rounds at New Orleans. Foley’s only setback was a defeat administered by Tommy Gibbons shortly before Foley’s ilness forced him to take a rest. The Warnte Sinlth-Schlaifer bout will be between two battlers of the same style, as Smith is the same type of two-fisted walloper as Schlaifer. The Tulsa slugger has defeated such men as Harvey Thorpe, Morrle Lux, Cowboy Padgett, Kay Long and oth ers. Smith will arrive in Omaha within a few days, accompanied by his man ager, Lewis Newman, and will fin ish bis training at a local gymnasium. Popular prices will prevail, legion officials announced. Says"Bugs* cteiri The Giutt figures on starting New York with a clean slate. * He has plenty of sponges. There was always some argument in Koughtown over the Glutt’s way of winning championships. The Giutt preferred to toss in the old conquering sponge. His seconds disputed this. They thought they should wav* the triumphant Turk ish towel. He won 11 titles this year. All in one fight. Fancy diving, broad jumping. African dodger, most com ical costume, and six or seven oth er titles too Important to mention favorably. Where in all this taxed world has there ever been any fighter to com pare with the Giutt? Hero of 6,000 ring fights. He gave a brass wed ding ring to his wife and that start ed them all. He never surrendered in the ring. Before ho met an opponent he al ways had his victory in writing. Sol ence triumphs over brute gate re ceipts. The world little knows that the Glutt was given up by the doctors before he took up fighting. They gave hi in up to the police. But stone jugs and iron bars do not a prison make. The Glutt lean ed on the iron bars and bent the brass rails. When he beat the Floorbumper, it was an exciting agreement. The Floorbumper held the Glutt very cheaply. He gave him one of those five and-ten expressions that curdlo hato In men's hats. The Glutt looked at Floorbumper's photographs and sa.w they were sample copies. Ho said: "This is sweet pickings. I will beat that scoundrel curly. I will beat him to an inch of his future. I wilt beat him to the floor.’* . No sooner said, than denied. He heat the Floorbuniper to the floor. He was^a collapsible demon. He boat all his opponents io the floor. When he fought Sikl he sardincd around until the bell rang. Then he said, "The last one over the rores Is a Chinese.” And like Horatio on the bridge he defended the nearest exit. All delicatessen stores will close at 11 on Christmas. Search for Clara Phillips Resumed at San Francisco Los Angeles, Dec. 27.—Search for Clara Phillips, "hammer murderess,” who escaped from the Los Angeles county jail December 5. will be re newed in San Francisco today.

Chicago, Dec. 27.—Between the up per and nether millstones of the inter collegiate football situation are the athletic directors and the athletic boards of control of the various col leges. These are the men who formu late the athletic policies of tho vari ous institutions, colored largely by the personal opinions of the presidents and faculty leaders. Vale, Ilarverd and Princeton have practically the same system of gov ernment of their athletics—boards composed of faculty members, alumni, the president, and some under-gradu ates. The variations are small and each element of campus life has its voice in athletics. These boards are nominated by the corporations and they are the power that decides the policy of the universities toward ath letics. Hold Conference. Not long ago President Hibben, Princeton; President Lowell, Harvard, and President Angell, Yale, held a conference. Of these three, two are well posted on football and one is not entirely familial; w'ith the various phases of the sport. From this con ference came an agreement, vaguely woraed and written so cloudily that it would flunk a freshman in English, but the intent was clear enough— they agreed to restrict football, to put an end to long trips and intersectional contests hailed as championships, and to check the tendency toward com mercialism of the sport, and other things. Whether they forced their conclusions upon the athletic boards or whether they reflected the views of the boards is uncertain. While the boards claim immunity from, faculty pressure, the fact that the decision of the three presidents is the fixed policy of the boards at present indi cates that the presidents have power. Disturbed Routine. Behind that conference at which the fate of football was weighed is the agitation that has progressed rapidly, especially in the eastern and New England colleges. Led by Pres ident Mellteljohn of Amherst, who has taken the most advanced views In regard to curbing or eliminating football, the leading educators, or the leaders of educational institutions bave moved more and more toward stopping football. The basis of their objection is that football has been given undue prom inence and has disturbed the educa tional routine. The reasons for their objections are deeper, as will be ex plained when wo study the attitude of the National Association of Col lege Professors toward college ath letics. It appears that this associa tion, composed of many of the lead ing educators, has power to color the views of the presidents and the presi dents have authority to which the boards of athletic control either dai;e not or care not to oppose. Not one of these hoards is a unit; the majority favor football and a small minority oppose it entirely. The result has been a compromise with a slight curtailment of athletic pro grams. Temporarily Checked. Soon after this famous meetings of the three presidents, Lathrop With ington, famous as a Harvard athlete and representative, spoke hefore a Princeton crowd, impromptu, and spilled Boston beans all over the hot stove of football. Among other things, he said that President llibben of Princeton brought up an agreement and ordered President Lowell to sign on the dotted line. Mr. Withington subsequently wab bled on his remarks aud said he was misquoted. Now I got the low down on that dotted line stuff. I got it first in confidence at Princeton, got it openly at New Haven and frankly at Harvard. The fact is. Dr. Lowell, who knows less about athletics than either of the others, made even more drastic suggestions and was argued down. The news reached the Harvard Alumni association all over America, and as a result such pressure has been brought to bear in Cambridge that any further move to stop foot ball is temporarily checked. Hoard's Decisions. The majority of the members of athletic boards of the big three have, however, decided upon these things:' That football lias been overdone and must be reduced in- importance. That “championship” games are dis turbing to school morale and disas trous to studies. That coaching should be restricted and coaches who put too much stress on winning and too little on the sport for its own sake shall go. That games shall not he scheduled save against teams playing fair men and using fair tactics. That football is not a spectacle for public entertainment but a game for undergraduates. The majority of the athletic com mittees of the big three, agree on these points, and more and more the leaders of other schools have fallen into lino with them. Pasadena Game j Officials 0.

By DAVIS J. WALSH. The Invisible Mason has laid an other block upon the towering edifice of sport's bygones, and the year A. D. 1922 in athletics has settled firm ly in its appointed place, a monument in itself to healthful, sound develop ment. It was a great year In ath letics. All athletic years are great. We do not seem to have any other kind nowadays. Progressively, the years mount one upon another, ever increasing in im portance and significance, so much so, in fact, that a building Inspector would bo horrified. The superstruc ture has outgrown the foundation. Grows More Important. His concern would not be justified, however. Unlike other structures, the edifice of sport is stronger for the fact that it,grows in the weight of importance as it mounts upward. Athletics during 1922 were conduct ed on a sounder basis than ever be fore and enjoyed by a constantly ex panding army of devotees. A crowd of 30,000 was a convenlonality. At the llarvard-Yale football game 80,000 were in stands, and easily that num ber witnessed the Leonard-Tendler bout for the lightweight champion ship. An average attendance of 38. 000 viewed the world series, and only the seating capacity of the Polo grouds prevented larger turnouts. Outstanding Achievements. From an international standpoint the years perhaps lacked many of the outstanding accomplishments of its immediate predecessors, but it was not altogether without its big moments of this kind. There was, for instance, the victories of Tilden and Johnston in defending the Davis cup against the tennis experts of tho world; the win ning of the diamond skulls at Hen ley, England, by Walter Hoover; the turning back, of the foreign invaders at Brookline by Jess Swcetser in win ning the national amateur golf cham pionship, and the sucessful defense by the Meadowbrook “big four” of the international cup against the Argen tine poloists. Those were the dominant figures of the athletio year, in addition to George Sisler, Rogers Hornsby and John McGraw in baseball, and Geno Sarazen in golf. Singularly enough, however, football, boxing and racing were minus their usual quota of great names. Coaches Discuss Grid Chances New York, Dec. 27.—A scheme formulated by John W. Heisman, coach at the University of Pennsyl vania, for deciding tied football games, w-as discussed today by gridiron men tors attending the annual meeting of the American Football Coaches as sociation. Coach Heisman's plan calls for a short period of play after games end ing in lied scores, during which each eleven would he given the ball for three plays. Tho cams gaining the most ground on Its three plays would be given an extra point. Several proposals for changes in the new rule applying to tlie try for point after touchdowns, were 'before the meeting. It was said that a majority of the coaches were agreed that the present rule needed revision. Benton Is Declared Honest by Herman -Cincinnati, O., Dec. 27.—August Hermann, president of the Cincinnati National league baseball club, today praised the honesty of Pitcher Rube Benton, obtained from the St. Paul American association club champions, end said that the club would stand by Benton. v "Benton should have a gold medal, instead of being attacked by Ban Johnson,” Mr. Hermann declared. "If a ball player, who rel ises a bribe, declines to throw a bijll game, and insists on going straight, is to be criticised by the president of a major league, what is baseball coming to?” he asked. Kansas City Robbery Suspects Arrested New Orleans, Dec. 27.—Arrest of two men and two women at a hotel last night led to the seizure by police of $8,300 believed by them to have been part of the $97,000 loot obtained December 12, by highway men who held up and robbed a messenger of the Drovers’ Bank of Kansas City, Mo., and escaped after a gun battle in which one man was shot. Johnny Dundee, Holder of Two “Championships, ” Is Fighting in Preliminaries for Small Dough By FRANK G. MENKE. Once he was among the greatest drawing cards In ringdom: once he was among the highest paid men in the game. He's possessed of two championships. Yet today he is com pelled to fight for purses less than $1,000. The story concerns Johnny Dundee. A year ago—and for many years before—the Italian whirlwind was in demand everywhere. lie was able to name his own price. He was one of the biggest box office atractions Madi son Square Garden ever had. His every fight there neted him $10,000, $12,000—and far beyond. Ho whipped George Chaney one night and became junior lightweight champion of the universe. Later he challenged Johnny Kiibune and posted the required forfeit of $2,500. Kiibune didn't accept—and the New York stato athletic commission acclaimed Dundee as featherweight champ of the uni verse. Fights for SHU. With two crowns upon his brunette dome, it looked as if days of pros perity and affluence were just ahead of Dundee. Hut, for some inexplic able reason lie hasn't been able to get a fight in the Garden—nor in any big club around New York. In desperation, Dundee finally sign ed up for three battles in “small time'' spots. He got $2,000 for mixing it with Alex Hart in Philadelphia—and this double-barreled champion fought that night in a semi-final. Then he fought in Newark—and got $975. The climax came in his melee with Gene Delmont in HrooUiyn. where Dundee, who scoffed at anything un der $10,000 just a year ago, fought 12 rounds for $525. Was there ever anything quainter than the sight of a man who aver aged around $8,000 or $10,000 for liis fights through three seasons, and \slio, after gathering in two titles, fights three times for $3,500. A Blow for I-O-Way. Ten of the men who brought fame ard glory to Iowa' due to their foot ball prowess in 1921 and again in 1922 have played their last game in the Hawkeye uniform. They graduate in June, and practically a new team must be welded together before Iowa can take the field next September. Amen. “That proves conclusively that you can't believe all you read ill tho papers these days," was k fandom's comment over a news item that Con nie Mack—yes, Connie of Philadelphia, Fa.—had paid $75,000—count ’em boys .—count 'em—for Sammy Hale, the Portland (Ore.) third sacker. The Walls of Jessica. Thirty-nine years ago t lit1 re was born a man who thinks he can punch Jack Dempsey into a mess of cran berry sauce. His name is Jess Willard. ‘ He thought the same thing three and one half years ago. But lie was wrong. For at the end of the little entertainment in Toledo the red and battered human who was lifted out of the ring was not Dempsey. It was Willard. “I’ve fought the last battle of my career,” mumbled Willard, through split and swollen lips, as soon as he had been restored to mental nor malcy. “Dempsey whipped mo fair ly and squarely.” Three years elapse and hero is Willard shrieking: "I want to fight Dempsey,” Someone cut in upon his wailings about “Dempsey is ducking me” and reminded him of his complete retire ment in July of 19111; of his admis sion that “a better man whipped me squarely.” "Ah!" exclaims Willard, “what 1 thought then is not what 1 think now —ah, no, no. For since then 1 have come to the conclusion that Dempsey put adhesive tape on hi9 hands, which made them ns hard ad con crete." • To which Dempsey chuckles a reply: "What a naughty, naughty person little Jessie is becoming—to say things like that about me. The little libber—saying I used adhesive tape! I did no such thing, I used lead pipes, that’s what I did, and it isn’t nice of Jessie to accuse me of using horrid tape.” Mexicans Take io ( ue. Mexicans are becoming all frothed up over billiards. Once upon a time, which time was only a few years ago, they wouldn’t have known what you were discuss ing if you mentioned billiards. But now—ah! There are 150 ball and cue parlors in Mexico City alone. One place, Clark’s Palace, has 36 tables. An other has 26. More than a score house over a dozen tables. President Obregon, despite the fact that he has only one arm, is an en thusiast.' Secretary of Finance Huerta is a star performer. So are most of the other members of the Mexican cabinet. Joaquin Norls is the 1S.2 balkline champion, which game is most popu lar now. But they're becoming mighty keen about the three-cushion stuff and there’s a chance that it may supplant balklino in public favor. A Great Trainer. Vincent Powers leaped from the steeplechase saddle this spring to be come trainer for the jumpers of the Greentree stable. The outlook waa dreary for the newest and youngest man in the conditioning part of the sport because the stable housed about the poorest looking collection of hurdlers that ever carried (he col ors. Vet the Greentree stable led all its rivals in the matter of 1322 winnings With a total of $45,211. And its tri umph is due almost entirely to Pow ers who, with amazing skill, devel oped green jumpers, sulking jumpers and bad legged jumpers Into cham pions. Copyright, 19*3. Army-Navy Game May Go to Capital Annapolis, Mil., Dec. 27.—Command er Douglas L. Howard, athletic officer of the United States Naval academy, will represent that institution at a conference today in Philadelphia with West Point officials, which will de cide renewal of the agreement for the playing the annual Army-Navy foot ball game. C'apt. Ridgeway, it is said, will represent the Army council. The three-year agreement under which football games have been played ex pired this season. It was stated that the Navy repre sentative will insist that there be no renewal of the clause which prohibits the annual clash from being played south of Philadelphia. Under this pro vision Washington and Baltimore are eliminated as possible sites for the struggle, New York and Philadel phia have had the call in recent years. It was also stated that the Navy representative will ask that some of the games he played later in the sea son, specifying December 1 for next year, in place of November 24, as ten tatively chosen. Anti-Race Track Gambling Ordinance Held Up by Court Detroit, Dec. 27.—A restraining or der directed against the city, prevent ing enforcement of the anti-race track gambling ordinance, which was to have been effective Thursday, was signed by Circuit Judge Harry .1. Dingcnvan. The order is effective un til after a hearing January 15. Tho action was taken by a local newspaper which objects to that part of the ordinance which forbids publi cation of race results and race odds. U. S. x4thletes in Swedish Games — New York, Dec. 27.—All American track and field team will compete in the Swedish international athletic games at Gothenburg next summer. Tentative acceptance of an invita tion recently received was announced today by the amateur athletic union. The size of the team and other de tails are being arranged bj* corre spondence. Considerable importance attaches to the date finally selected for the meet. The United States would bo able to send a larger team if the Swedish A. A. could shift the dale from July 1-8 to the following week, as suggested by the A. A. U. If this concession were made, the United States would send an athletic team of about 12, jn addition to at least three of the country's leading swimmers. That the United States would re quire a strong team to make a satis factory showing at Gothenburg is admitted by A. A. U. officials, as the leading performers of Scandinavian and other European countries are en tered.

FROM —i ONE! r m _ '.J’l'gfiM Kansas Quintet Minus Two Stars of Last Season Allen to Hold ‘Skull Clinic’ in Morning ami Floor Prac tice in Afternoon to Put Squad on Edge. A "skull clinic" in tho morning and a two or three-hour session on tho hardwood floor of an afternoon or evening, is the practice program Coach K. C. Allen has outlined to prime the University of Kansas quintet for the opening game Thurs day with Creighton university. Tho Jayhawkers, 11 strong, arrived here yesterday. The team has had little practice, ar. cording to tho Kansas mentor. It is working out only while here. The Kansans are minus two reg ulars of lust season’s team, which won 15 games and lost one, tying Mis souri university for the Missouri val ley championship. I.ose High-l’olnt Man. The two regulars, who are lust to the squad are George Rody, last year's captain, and Woestemcyer, both forwards. ^ Rody was high-point man in the valley last season and was unanimous ly chosen captain of the mythical all star valley quintet. Tho letter men hack are Captain Kndacott, guard, who was selected for the all-valley team last year; Black, regular guard last year, ami Wulf, tho six-foot six-inch regular center, both of whom were picked for the second all-valley team; Bow man, guard; Fredericks, who alternates at center with Wulf and also plays guard, and McDonald, who won his letter last year at forward. Grids ter on Team. The team has some oncoming stats from the sophomore ranks in Acker man, Wilkins, Stratton and Mosby, Ackerman will win a letter at for ward this year. Wilkins and Stratton play cither forward or guard, and Mosby at center or guard. Tho latter is a tackle on tho Kansas football team. Rupp, a guard, has been on tho squad three years, but has never won a letter. As a reward by Ills con sistent work and loyalty, Coach Allen declared he would be played in enough games this year to win a letter. The versatility of the playfta on the Kansas team is remarkable, only two of tho 11 men being aide to play but one position.

Bor some occult reason Sarazen’s Skokie performance was deemed a fluke, no it devolved upon him to finish first in the Professional Golf ers' association event at Pittsburgh and then turn around and defeat Walter Hagen, British open cham pion, in a special two-day match, 3 up and 2 to play. ' This victory established Sarazen, a mere caddie live years previously, as one of the truly elect. Not only did ho overcome a three-hole lead that Hagen held going^lnto the final day, but it was less than 2-1 hours after ho holed his winning putt that iSarazeri was hurried to a nearby hos pital, a victim of appendicitis. -— Pittsburgh Beats Cleveland, Pittsburgh.
