Syracuse Looks
for Hard Contest
• With the Huskers
Hag Gone Through Season
Without Having Goal
Line Crossed
Onec.
Victory owr Penn State leaves the
road wide open for high gridiron hon
ors for the Syracuse team this year.
Only Boston, a team which has only
won one game tills year; Colgate, the
Orange's leading rival, but rather dis
appointing team this year, and Ne
braska, which Is having on up-and
down season—stand between Syra
cuse and a perfect season.
Saturday's results both its own vic
tory over the undefeated Penn State
eleven and the outcome of the other
games In which tHe leading teams of
the east took part, served only to put
the Orange on a still higher plane
than at any time this season.
As far as ran be learned the Syra
cuse team Is the only big team in
the United States whose goal line has
not been crossed. A field goal by
Matsu, Japanese quarterback on the
William and Mary eleven, has been
the only score made against Syracuse
this year.
To go through an entire season
without a touchdown being made
against them, is a feat always long
ed and hoped for but never attained
at Syracuse university. Neither has
a team been able to finish without
a defeat or a tie game. Both these
things are within the realm of pos
sibility this year and therefore the
Orange hopes are running high.
,v But the mere talk of championship
, hopes has served to spoil many a
good football team, so Meehan will do
his utmost to knock this out of the
heads of his men. Overconfidence is
trie one thing he will now fight
against and he knows how to eradi
cate it. Many other Orange elevens
have started their season auspicious
ly only to be met with disaster en
route from this overconfidence.
However, the present machine is
different in that it is one of the most
evenly balanced machines in the his
tory of Syracuse athletics. Not one
individual has been responsible for
the showing of the team. It has one
of the greatest forward lines in the
country, and Meehan has an array of
backfield men of which any college
would be proud. Early in the season
Chet Bowman loomed up as an indi
vidual star, but he was injured in
the Pittsburgh battle and has been
laid up ever since. However, he will
i>e in shape for Boston Saturday
and will also be on hand for the Ne
braska and Colgate affrays.
If either Colgate or Nebraska ex
pect to atop Syracuse they must first
stop McBride and Bowman. The lat

the university, can do the 100 yards

the ends. Ills specialty Is racing the
opposing ends along the chalk marks
parallel with the goal lines, and then,
when he has outdistanced them, skirt

to btop him, and there are few east

and catch him.

Spring Training
Camp a Mystery
New York, Nov. 10.—It Is pretty
well settled that the Giants will not
go to San Antonio for their spring
training In 1924. Instead, the Yankees
may go there. Ed Barrow, one of
the Yank managers, states that the
Huggins tribe has three placea un
der advisement. New Orleans, San
Antonio and Shreveport.
Miller Huggins Is strong for San
Antonio, because he thinks It Is a
great place for getting players In
condition. Barrow Is strong for New
Orleans because of Its healthy effect
on the club treasury. There are cus
tomers at ball games In New Orleans
As Huggins Is paid to get his ball
players In condition and Barrow Is
interested In gathering In the shekels,
their preferences are entirely logical.
The mystery Is, who Is easting the

Earl Caddock Becomes Evangelist
After Listening to Stranger
Gives Away Practically All of His Wealth and Gives Up
WTestling for Preaching—Traveling
in West and North.
New York, Nov. 10.—The star
wrestlers of Europe, with the drop in
the currency of their native lands,
are no longer the haughty athletes of
old and are now keen on picking up
as many American dollars as possible.
Everything points to a big year in
the wrestling game, which means that
Zbyszos, Lewis, Stecher and a num
ber of European grapplers will be
seen on the mat. But one of the
greatest American favorites, Earl
Caddock, will be missing. The for
mer champion, and the most inter
esting of all the wrestling stars. Is
through forever with the game that
gave him wealth and fame.
Caddock, as is generally known,
comes of fine American stock. He
had the advantage of an excellent
education and rose to be a world's
champion wrestler. He served his
country during the world war, was
gassed while in service and when he
returned was never again the Cad
dock of old, and lost his- title.
Life had been kind to Caddock in
many ways. Ills earnings ■ a
wrestler had been considerable. He
had married his boyhood sweetheart
before leaving for "over there’’ and
he was satisfied to settle down in a
little town In the west, a looked up-to
man of the community, well fixed
financially, with fine business pros
pects and a happy home life. Inter
ested In machinery, he had gone into
the automobile business, had an
agency and was doing very well.
One day not many months ago, it
is said, Caddock was at dinner with
his wife when there came a knock at
ms—mu i
the door. He rose from the table and
opened the door. A stranger stood
before him. The stranger explained
that he was spreading the word of
God and had called on one in pros
perity to help the needy.
"I have no time now.” said the
wrestler. "You can see me later at
my place of business.”
“God’s business can always wait,"
was the answer. .
Something about thp evangelist Im
pressed Caddock and he explained
apologetically, "I'm eating just now.”
“I have not eaten today, but 1
can wait," answered the man of God.
“Come In,” said the athlete.
What happened In that little room
no one knows but Its three oc
cupants. Hut half an hour later,
when some one from Caddock'* fac
tory called, they found all three on
their knees.
A few days later Caddock was on
the streets with the evangelist help
ing him to spread the Gospel. He
has since given away practically ail
of his worldly goods and the last
heard of the former wrestling cham
pion he had gone still farther west
with the stranger to "help In Gods
work.” His wife followed him.

Rockne Never Had
Contract at Notre
Dame as Mentor
Has Turned Down Many Good
Offers Because of
His Love for
School.
—
New York, Nov. 10.—It la staled
that Knute K. Rockne will shortly
sign his first contract as football
coach of the University of Notre
Dame. Though Rockne has been
coaching the Indiana players for the
last 10 years he la not now and never
has been under contract as their foot
ball instructor and there probably
would be no thought of a contract for
him now if any other means of giving
him a well deserved increase in salary
could be devised.
Rockne never wanted a contract
and the Notre Dame authorities never
thought it necessary to tie him up
with one. Now, however, a condition
has arisen which cannot be met ex
cept with a contract which will be
for a term of three to five years. The
fact that several eastern schools, no
tably Columbia, have made flatter
ing offers to Rockne during the past
year or so does not enter into the
matter in any way.
Columbia Makes Rig Offer.
"Columbia offered Rockne $12,00(T a
year to succeed Buck O’Neill as head
coach of the Blue and White eleven,"
said a friend of Rockne, “and noth
ing but his love for Notre Dame and
a belief that his life work Is there
prevented his acceptance. No let,>i
ties bind him to Notre Dame.
"He Is the only outstanding coach
In the country who never has been
under contract to the school whose
teams he instructs and drills. He
might have had a contract years ago,
but felt that he would not deserve one
unless he made good and would not
need one If he did. The Notre Dame
authorities, knowing that no amount
of money ever could Induce him to
quit his alma mater, never have
tried to force a contract upon him.
Must Have Contract.
“At the same time, they realize
that it wouldn't be fair to Rockne to
permit him to work for a pittance
when he might be one of the highest
salaried coaches in the country if he
were inclined to capitalize his skill
and reputation as a coach. And in
order to avoid this it is necessary,
for reason which need not be enter
ed Into here, that he should be Riven
a .contract.
“In my opinion Rockne Is one of
the three greatest coaches in the
game. At the same time I really
believe he Is far more valuable to
Notre Dame than he would be to
any other college or university.”
Notre Dame has done wonders this
year by three straight successes, the
most notable being over the Army
team by the score * of 13 to 0 and
over Princeton by the score of 25 to
2. "With the success of his team
Knute Rockne is rapidly coming to
the front as the country’s foremost
coach.

Dates Set for English
Golf Tournaments in
the Season of 1924
New York, Nov. 10.—While golfers
In this country are still awaiting the
official announcement of the courses
chosen for the national championship
tournaments next year—the amateur,
open and women’s—already the Royal
and Ancient club of St. Andrews has
not only settled the links problem,
but has also given out the dates for
the 1924 meetings. The week of May
19 will see the women’s champion
ship under way at Portrush, while
the following week the amateur
event will be held at St. Andrews.
Once again the month of June has
been chosen as the time for the open
championship, probably the second
week. A year ago the United States
Golf association, the Professional
Golfers' association of this country,
the Professional Golfers' association
of Great Britain, and the Royal and
Ancient club of St. Andrews had con
siderable correspondence concerning
the running off of the British open
meeting In May, Instead of In June
as heretofore, the reason for the ad
vancement of the date being so that
golfers from the United States could
take part.
When the national open of the U. 8
G. A. Is held In July It generally
means that the ‘'pros" are In for the
hottest of weather, and a July date
Is only chosen In order that the golf
ers who go abroad to compete In
Great Britain may have a chance to
get back prior to the tournament.
After voluminous correspondence on
the subject last season it was finally
agreed between the associations that
things would be different In 1U24:
that the British open would probably
be held In Many. All of which means
that If players such as Gene Sarazen,
Walter Hagen, lock Hutchison and
Jim Barnes compete In the British
tournament, the United States meet
ing will again be held In July, to al
low them time to get back.
The date for the Oxford-Cambridge
team match to be held at Holyoke has
been set for March 25 and 26. while
a few other dates thus far arranged
Include the Irish professional'cham
pionship the week of June 4, the

Movement to Make Horse Racing
Cleanest of Sports Is Started
Eastern Men Suggest That Stewards Be Appointed to Watch
Racers for E'raAid* and to Sec That Thoroughbreds*
Perform Equally at AH Times.
By I,. C. GRAHAM.
Horse racing, ns a sport, belongs to
tho masses and not to the privileged
few who wish to manipulate things
to the benefit of their own pocket
books. That is the opinion that rac
ing enthusiasts of the east have and
they have started out to do all that
they can to stamp out such evils as
exist.
In an effort to make the "Sport of
Kings" one of the cleanest of sport
ing events, these critics and enthusi
asts have suggested that stewards
be appointed on all tracks, with au
thority to punish any person, who
ever it may be, whom they see doing
something underhanded or crooked.
It sounds almost impossible to just
suggest such a thing, but the men
who are behind the move go farther
than that and tell how It may be
done. Admiral Carey T. Orayson Is
one of the men prominent in the
movement and he has shown himself
to be a true blue sportsman of a
rapidly disappearing school.
The plan, as suggested, Is for
every Jockey club and track manage
ment In the country to engage some
stewards, number Immaterial, who
are well enough versed In thorough
bred racing to know when a Jockey
is not riding his best, when a horse
is "cold" or "hot,"- when cold coffee
has lieen used liberally a short time
before the horse goes to the post or
any of the other tricks that are some
times resorted to on race.tracks.
There are lots of these men in the
country. 'Each year sees men at the
Ak-Sar-Ben meets who make horse
racing a business and yet own no
horses. These men are the type sug
gested by the critics.
In the opinion of the critics If sucli
a body of stewards was organized
there would be less shady work done.
Tlie war that has been waged for
several years against such practices
has made them far more Infrequent
than ever before; but they are still
here.
The American public wants horse
racing. The public as a mass pat
ronize the track now, It Is not simply
a "rich mans pastime." Evidence
of this fact was given when Zev
raced Papyrus at Belmont Park,
again when he suffered defeat by In
Memorlam. more recently still, at
Estonia. Every spring the enthusi
asm for the "pcmies" is shown at
Churchill Downs, Kentucky. The
Derby crowd is often as large and
larger than the crowd who attends
the more modern sport of automobile
racing at Indianapolis.
Not long ago a man was threatened
with expulsion from eastern tracks
because his horses ran so erratically.
The man was interested In several
"books" at the track where his horses
performed and It was thought that he
"played both ends against the mid
dle." That Is the thing these men
who Rre fighting for the innovation
want to do away with.
If the stewards should be weak and
timid they would do more harm than
good. Many of the customers know
enough about horses to be able to tell
when a horse has "tried.” These peo
ple would be disgusted If a crooked
owner or trainer was not dealt with
at once and would spread their dis
satisfaction.
Should this ruling be put into effect
the stewards would have to be both
strong willed and conscientious in
their duty. Hut it would help the
racing game to become one of the
greatest sports in the world today.
Pennsylvania to
^ Have Decision Goes
New York. Nov. 10.—Pennsylvania
is to have boxing decisions, now that
boxing in that state has been placed
under commission control. Two
judges will vote and If they fail to
agree the referee will decide.
It Is unfortunate that Pennsylvania
has followed New York's example In
the matter of judging bouts. The
present system is not a success. It is
much better to have the referee name
the winners and if the neighboring
states had adopted that method its su
periority would have been made clear.
In the old days there were half a
dozen referees who stood out and
were as famous as the best of the
fighters. The present system has
so limited the responsibility of the
referee that none is well known
enough to be regarded as an author
ity.
Given the opportunity to distin
guish themselves, another crop of
men whdm the public could trust
would soon be developed. There is no
question that a referee with a coun
trywide reputation to protect is more
likely to give an honest and correct
decision than some obscure, unknown
Judge. When the votes of the Judges
are kept secret the chances for s bad
decision are doubled.

New York, Nov. 10—Harry Will*
has been offered another opportunity
to prove his contention that ha i*
as good as ever. The New Jersey pro
moters would like to match him with
Jack Renault.
Hero is an excellent chance for
Wills to demonstrate his ability
against an opponent of some stand
ing. No doubt Tex Rickard would

has placed Rickard on the blacklist

Important cogs In the machinery
which kept him away from a match
with Jack Dempsey, and for this rea
son lie will have nothing to do with
the Garden promoter. While Rickard
never expressed any wild desire to
put on a Dempsey Wills match, it is
doubtful if he ever went to any great
lengths to keep these two fighters
apart, unless arranging the Dempsey
Firpo affair could be considered as
such.
With the Garden removed as a sit*
for a Wills match, the next beat
place seems to be .New Jersey.
Renault should furnish enough op
position for the fans to get a line on
Wills' ability. If Harry is as good aa
he claims to be, he should have littla
difficulty with either of these fighters.
Renault Is particularly anxious to
take on Wills. Ever since the j
Canadian met 11 fightcryin a row, .
whom he toppled over without much
trouble, he has t-een on Wills’ trail,
as he figures a decisive victory over
the negro would put him In line for
a match with Dempsey, which he
claims is his main objective JuOt at
present. While Johnson has not
hurled any defies In the dusky bat
tler's face, he did tell a few friends at
Madison Square Garden the other
night that he was perfectly willing
to meet Wills If the proper oppor
tunity presented Itself.
Renault seems the more anxious to
fight Wills and Is firmly convinced
that the negro would give him very
little trouble.
