West Virginia Eleven Defeats Gonzaga in Hard-Fought Game, Score Is 21 to 13' - w--:--r-—-: Western Squad Held Scoreless in First Half Fifteen Thousand See Hard Fought Contest at San Diego —Captain Meredith Races 70 Yards to Coal. San Diego, Cal., Deo. 25. — In a smashing battle featured by forward passing, the east scored a victory over the far west in football today, when West Virginia, one of ttie unde feated elevens of the east, defeated Gonzaga of Spokane, Wash., 21 to 13. fifteen thousand spectators saw the game. It was an interesting battle and toward tlie finish the crowd, which for the most part was nonpartisan, was with Gonzaga, which scored all its points in the second half. At the start of the game it looked as if the Mountaineers would be easy winners, for they scored 14 points in the first half. One of these scores resulted In an intercepted forward pass by Cap tain Meredith of West Virginia, who scampered 70 yards for a touchdown. Despite the advantage of 14 points scored in the -opening two periods, Gonzaga was not disheartened. Cap tain Busch and his men started to throw the ball to all corners of* the field in the third period and AVest Vir ginia appeared powerless to check the open attack, which was featured by some complex formations. Strong Lines. There was little to chdwe between the two teams as far ns actual ground gaining on rushing tactics was con cerned. Neither was able to advance the oval any considerable distance by use of straight plays. But when the forward pass was called into commis sion both elevens made tong gains. Each resorted to punting whenever in doubt of making yards for first downs and in this department both were way below'the average. Although West Virginia was the victor, it did not show a great superi ority over the plucky Gonzaga aggre gation coached by Gus Dorais, the former Notre Dame quarterback. In fact, the Gonzaga offense bore a striking resemblance to the attack used by Coach Itoekne's elevens In recent years. The line charged hard and tlie backs drove with power and speed. I so Air Attack. Shortly after the first kickoff. West Virginia took the ball to Gonzuga's five-yard line by a series of forward passes and line plays. For some un known reason, a forward pass was called on the first down and the play was incomplete in the end zone and went for a tnuchback. The Moun taineers came back again and worked the oval to the Gonzaga 20-yard line by plowing through the Washington team's line and driving off the tackles. A couple of forward passes. Nurdflccl to Minion, added some of the distance. On a backficld shift wit It a lineman shifted, Nardacci was sprung loose off the Gonzaga left tackle. He squirmed the- pivoted himself out of the grasp of the tacklers and stumbled over the goal line for the first score of the game. Ekberg kicked the goal. Gonzaga received the kickoff and soon worked the oval Into West Vir ginia territory by a scries of short for ward passes coupled with offtackle slants by Stockton. With eight yards to gain on a third down, a forward puss, Stockton to Brosa, was at tempted. The ball was intercepted in its flight by Captain Meredith, who ran 70 yards for a touchdown. Ekberg again kicked the goal and the Jialf ended shortly afterward. Gonzaga Scores. In the third period. Gonzaga began to show its class. The warriors from the northwest pulled pass after pass but were unable to get across the mountaineers' goal line. An exchange of punts left the oval in midfield in West Virginia's possession. Simon, Nardaeei and Martyn advanced the hall consistently to the Gonzaga eight yard line. At this point Nardaeei tossed a forward pass to Simon, who gathered In the oval behind the goal line. Ekberg again kicked goal and this ended West Virginia's scoring. Shortly after this, Gonzago. who had received tho kickoff, took the ball to mVlfleld by sparkling offtackle driv ing by Stockton and catching of for ward passes by Eross. VV 1th the West Virginia secondary defense pulled up to help the forward wall, Stockton . shot a forward pass to Bross. who caught the ball cleanly after jumping high Into the air. As he came down to earth he could not regain his balance and started to stumble toward the West Virginia goal line and was nailed three yards from the counting line. On a double pass back of tho line, Stockton to Bross, the oval was advanced a yard. Stockton added another on a straight plunge and theh drove through center lor a touchdown. He missed the goal, and the score was 21 to 6. Gonzaga was fighting mad and de termined. West Virginia showed the effects of the heat and dust. Coach Spears made several substitutions but the new players were unable tQ fathom the open attack of the north westerners. Stockton shot passes to practically every eligible man on his team but one to8S to BlOBS to°'1 the oval to tho mountaineers' five-yard line. Two straight plays failed and then a split line plunge was called and Bross drove off the right side of the West Virginia line for a touch down. Stockton kicked the goal and the score was 21 to 13.

Today we have countless Knockout So and-Sos, Bat tling Whosizs and Fighting Whatiz names, not to mention “Flashes." They are all unearned, dull plag^larsms of dull managers. Harry Wills is known as the “Brown Panther.” This designation was once a good one, for there was a time when Harry fought with the cunning and agility of that jungle beast. Now he more resembles a good-natured bull rhino in his knuckle display. Carpentier's fiscal mold and physical grace won hint the flattering byname "Orchid Man." Also, he was called “The Gallant Gaul.” Both, in the writer's opinion, were open to question. Inventors of nicknames in the old days were more prolific and de cidedly cleverer than those of today. Corbett was "Gentleman Jim” be cause he was exactly that. Jeffries was “The Grizzly.” His left hand was like the paw of the brute; hq was dogged, determined. Terry Mc Govern was “Terrible Terry.” Look over his knockout record. Battling Nelson was “The Durable Dane,” Kid Williams "The Wolf Boy,” Joe Gans “The Old Master,” Stanley Ketehel “The Assassin,” Ad Wolgast “The Cadillac I^ildcat,” Billy Papke “The Illinois Thunderbolt,” Joe Walcott “The Barbadoes Demon.” Valentine Braun started the "Knockout” craze anA Dick Hyland (Fighting Dick) the “Fightings.” The great George Me Fadden was called “Elbows" because ho blocked most discouragingly with those joints. They slipped up on a few of them, however. Bob Fitzsim mons was merely called “Lanky Bob” and “Ruby Robert;” George Dixon, "Lil Choclate" because he was black, and Sam Langford “The Boston Tar Baby” for the suma reason. These three deserved more inspiring nick names than that. » Ruth in baseball should be “Home Run Ruth,” don't you think? Cobb, as the “Georgia Peach,” goes well enough. If a man is tall they call him “Long John,” or whatever his firs name is. If he’s of German de scent "Heinie" or "Dutch.” Johnny Evers -had a dyspeptic disposition, hence "The Crab.” Jacobson, the out fielder, is a burly chap with rugged facial lines. Why "Baby Doll' Jacob son? Joe Dugan has had trouble with contracts, so its "Jumping Joe.” That’s clever. Mclnnls, wlio played a full season at first with but one error, has earned nothing better than “£tuffy." “Rubes” are very common in baseball—Waddell, Benton, Mar quard, and so on. Joe push, who never equalled Waddell's speed, Is "Bullet Joe”—another keen one. Others right ly named were Joe' McOinnity "The Iron Man" because he so often pitched and won double-headers, A1 Orth "The Curveless Wonder" of the ancient Yankees because he had wondarful control and no curves, Maranvllle "The Rabbit” bacause he was small and singularly active. Diamond nicknames differ from those in boxing in that they seem to deal more with the personal than the playing element.

A lot of bozos In the dim distant days preferred being right to being president of the United Stutes of America. But times have changed. They'd rather (be jockeys now and not without reason. The very youthful A. Johnson earned beyond $75,000 in the season just agone. And be got it all in about seven months during which his real workday averaged from three to ten minutes. * Just how much Johnson added to that total through winning wagers on his mounts is guess -work. But it’s more or less certain that he cashed tn anywhere ffom $100,OOO to $150,000 on his little fliers. Johnson was the riding sensation of the year, as far as purse earnings are concerned.. He gathered in close to $300,000 for the owners of the horses he piloted. He rode Morvich to a $53. 000 victory in the Kentucky derby; he rode Exterminator in practically all of the great gelding’s triumphs. He \\'as aboard Sally’s Alley when she won the Belmont Futurity and one section of the Pimlico. He rode Blossom Time to win the second part of the Pim lico. Sande Aboard Winners. Johnson got a retainer from his em ployers—also a percentage of the purse winnings. All combined made the income of the boy grenter than Warren G. Harding receives for an entire year for presidenting these United States. Earl Sande wasn’t far behind John son in wages received. Sande did most of the riding for the powerful Rancocas Stable, but rode free lance quite often and picked up neat sums In that way. Sande's earnings, plus his winning W'agers, are said to have gone well over the $125,000 mark in 1922. Clarence Turner received $15,000 for steering the horses of J. K. L. Ross. In addition he got percentages of the money won in stake races. He did some free lance riding too, and per haps added $5,000 to $7,500 to his bank account in that way. A season or so ngo Lawrence Lyke lived in the most golden of golden hours for him. That was when he was jockeying for E. R. Bradley, the turfman who raced his horses mainly on Kentucky tracks. Fator a Financier. Lyke received $300 per month and expenses. Also he was given 10 per cent of all the money his mounts won. In addition to that lie received 10 per cent of all the money Bradley won betting on the horses which Lyke shooed along over the highways and the byways of the race courses. It was estimated that Lyke was ; paid over $100,000 in a single season under this arrangement w^th Bradley. IIow much more he won in wagers is something he alone can answer. But the sum perhaps slithered along above the $100,000 mark. Lyke isn't earning much money now. Success went to his head. He bad some sort of disagreement with Bradley. And so out went Lyke to seek jobs which have paid him but a pittance in comparison with Brad ley's donations. Laverne Fator, second string Jockey for llancocas in 1922, earned enough In 1922 to enable him to loaf the rest of his dayR—If he so desired—and not worry about any wolves yapping on his front porch. Riding Pays Well. McAtee and Clarence Kummer also took large gobs of cash dollars unto themselves. Keogh. Fairbrother. Schuttinger and Marlnelli were others who increased the bankroll to bulging proportions last season. Of course, all jockeys are not so richly rewurded. Many, including veterans, dub around all year and nev er earn 'more than $5,000 or $10,000. And the youngster*, of mediocre abil ity, who rarely can drive a nag down in front, must be content with $£,500 t to $4,000 for a season's work. But. alt things considered, there's no form of labor a boy can Indulge In which will bring to him such speedy and huge financial enrichment' as jockeyship—provided he lias the brains, the courage and the native ability to lift himself above the com*' won horde and become a star of stars. For where, in all the world, is there a trade or a profession, which will pay a boy of 21. 22 or 23 upwards of $75, 000 for a few minutes’ work a day— with the work season extending only fiom April to November? (Copyright. 1*::.) No “Big Ten” Iowa City, la., Dec. 23.—There is little possibility that boxing matches will be held between Western confer ence teams for several seasons, ac cording to Ernest G. Sehroeder, phy sical director ,of the University of Iowa. The general attitude at the school is against them, Mr. Sdhroeder said. "The "big ten conference has never approved boxing as an Intercollegiate sport and from present indications it is not likely to do so for some fime,” he said. "At the meeting of athletic directors and coaches of the big ten, the subject was not even mentioned. "The reason for the disapproval with, which conference officials view this sport is not because of the na ture of the sport itself, but rather on account of the attitude of the spec tators. Boxing is at the present time in the same situation that wrestling was in a tew years ago. At that time there was the same attitude towards the mat sports as that which exists against boxing at the present time. This objection has been overcome.” The physical department of the University of Iowa has had boxing as a part of its curriculum for sev eral years. Dave Fidler, a well-known lightweight boxer of Iowa has been appointed boxing instructor here.

SET OE A t>Ola - Baseball Critics to Watch Costly Diamond Stars Jimmy O’Connell and Willie Kamm Must Stand Sport Searchlight in '23—Lat* x ter “Full of Pepper. New York, Dec. 25.—Two young* aters upon Whom the eye* of baseball critics in the press box and bleachers will rest in the 1923 season are Jimmy O’Cotmell and Willie Kamm—tha most expensive pieces of baseball flesh that ever brought gold and stgha from check-writipg major league magnates. Their sale figures were records, the $76,000 paid by John Me* Graw for O'Connell being a high water mark until Comiskey laid down $100,000 in cash and playere to tha amount of $20,000 more for Kamm. Inasmuch as their sales took these teammates and buddies of the San Francisco Coast league club to differ* ' ent teams, in different leagues, there will be no chance to compare them next season—unless the Giants and White Sox tangle In the world’s series,-a dream that seems not more than half possible of realization. Joins "Sons of Rest.” But from a devout San Francisco ^ fan we have a thumbnail comparison of James and ’William that may or may not prove interesting. In view of future performances. O'Connell has been described as a tall lad. fast on a fly ball or on the bases, after he gets started, and a mean hitter from tho left side of the plate. It also has been rumored about that he suffered from hookworm after his sale set minor league records. Frisco fans bear this out, and the following prediction frequently was passed about the bleachers In his home town, as Jimmy made his lan guid way from center field to the bench: "Wait until McGraw gets hold of him. He'll take that drag ankle spirit out of him soon enough.’ On the bases he was another player again. Too big to have a flashy get away, he knew how to take advan tage of hattery delays and was al ways willing to take a chance, gener ally getting away with it. He fur nished frequent exhibitions of the stuff that Cobb made famous and that is becoming unfortunately rare in these days of "biff bang" baseball. Kamm Is Peppier. lyamm is smaller, trimly built, not beady, but not as aggressive on the bases; a right-hand hitter, al ways dangerous and always in the game. H4 Is full of the jazz, morale or eipnt de corps that is known on the diamond as pepper. Between pitched balls he cannot keep still, but moves forward with a peculiar, springy step, toward the batter and back to bis place at third, or toward She box for a word with the pitcher. Always working, Willie. As sweet an inflelder as the minors ever saw. To right or left, gets them. And throw—San Fran cisco was hysterical about his ability there. And Willie wus his name on the coast—not Billy, ns some have tried to christen him since he became a White Sox. No implication of effemi nacy there. Just the moniker the fans put on a player they liked with out reserve. Willie Popular. ■Willie was far more popular with Seal fans than Jimmy. Both pulled a prims donna shortly after their sales into the big time, both with the more or less understandable notion of getting some slice of the pie that their sales brought to the San Francisco club. O'Connell suffered criticism for holding out for more money after his sale, before the start of the 3922 sea son. When he didn’t deliver the pinch, or bobbled one. ns the best sometimes do. he was referred to as the "Six bit Beauty.” After Chicago bought Kamrn in mid i season he disappeared from the lineup j for a day or so. and it was known ■ in the sport-writing fraternity and to i most of the fans that Willie was dick erlng to get some added dough. He got it. returned to the lineup, and not a word was passed from the stands in criticism. It was' perhaps the natural differ cnce between tlie customers' attitude toward a player who always Is work- * lng, or who appears to be, and toward one who sometimes appears to be loaf. ^ ing. Or. perhaps, because th« higher priced of these two costly bugles is just naturally more popular.
