• -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*

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.

“Big 3” College Prexies Agree
to Curb Football's Popularity
l»y Hugh Fullerton.
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.

1922 Sees Sound
Growth of All
Forms of Sport
Aggregations of 50,000 at Big
Games So Numerous as to
Be Commonplace—Some
Outstanding Stars.
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

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.
