Fight Is Just
Stepping Stone
New York, Dec. 20.—Behind the
project to match Harry AVills and
Bartley Madden at Madison Square
garden, practical boxing minds are
pleased to note a studied gesture to
ward the establishment of a prece
dent that will make possible a JJemp
sey-Wllls bout later. This altogether
worthy enterprise is now taboo In
Manhattan rings by tacit and un
spoken agreement, the rich sepia of
Mr., Wills’ front piece being the rea
son.
Mr. Wills has never been permit
ted to fight a white man in Manhat
tan proper since the Walkei law
went Into effect. On occasion they
have topped him a Caucasian push
over within the limits of New Jer
sey and shudderingly covered their
sensitive eyes. A few months ago
they even ventured as near as Bong
Island City with the terrible details
mid Homer Smith went down and
Jay tragically still from a rude push
I on the chest.
“(Jive a map an inch and he will
take a mile," is an old saying. Hav
ing beaten white men in New Jersey
and Bong Island City, Wills now
wishes to heat Bartley Madden at
Madison Square garden, and the New
York state athletic commission will
lie asked to give its sanction to the
proceedings. If it dqes so, It will leave
a loophole for a possible Dempsey
Wtlls match for the heavyweight
championship next summer.
That, at least, is the inference
taken by those worthies who wish to
promote Wills into serious money be
fore the crutch and wheel chair claim
him as their own. To them it is a
master of overcoming an unspoken
prejudice in some official minds which
are now sufficienly versatile to see
nothing remiss in mixed bouts be
tween bantams, featherweights, light
weights, etc., but become unduly per
turbed at the mere mention of pro
miscuous mixing of heavyweight
v tints.
It may have been noted that when
Wills has appeared In Manhattan
rings they have been quite careful
to see that the co-attraction did not
relieve the monotony of the color
scheme. Kid Norfolk, Jack Thomp
son, Bill -Tate and other somber gents
always were parties of the second
, and unfortunate part.
With its fine, sweeping disregard
of the future, the state commission
has contrived to establish back-firing
precedents on other occasions. The
Madden-Wills project will give this
estimable body a chance to dally with
another.

Hoppe Again
Rules Balkline x
Billiard Circles
Chicago, Dec. 20.—Willie
Hoppe again ruled balkline
billiard circles as world
champion today, a winner
over Welker Cochran of San
Francisco, 1,500 to 1,161, in
their match to break the tie
into which they shot in the
international tournament in
New York.
The champion's heavy advantage,
pil^l up In the first two blocks, stood
him in good stead In the concluding
third last night, when Cochran slid
smoothly in stroke while Hoppe was
trying to find his. The Californian
showed his best form of the match,
scoring 725 while the champion was
collecting his final 500.
Cochran's average Tot* the final
block was 42 1117, against Hoppe's
29 7 17. Their grand averages for the
match were: Hoppe, 44 4 34; Cochran.
34 5-34. From these figures It ir evi
dent that in the closing innings Coch
ran was stroking at a gait but little
under that which won the title, $1,000
purse, diamond medal and a share of
the gate for Hoppe.
Willie Hoppe, Jr., a blond boy of 5,
watched his father win, though it
cost him as hard a struggle against (
the sandman as his father had
against atmospheric conditions and a
streak of bad form.
Muggy weather gave both players
trouble, as the spheres were sweat
ing and not easy to control.
Hoppe had runs of 63, 206 and 144
before he settled into the slow pace
at which the match was finished.
Cochran stroked consistently in most
of the 17 Innings, and with 107 his
tallest run reduced by 225 the 564
point disadvantage under which he
entered the final block.
Score by Innings, final block:
Hoppe—53 0 206 4 144 4 0 tl 4 0 13 0
10 0 7 1 10—J0O. Average, 59 7-17.
Cochran—1 45 6] 40 22 42 107 0 *1 74

Hawkeye Gridiron Coach Prefers
“Green” Man to High School Star
By AMorlatrd I'rrtl.
Iowa City. Ia., Dec. 20.—Coach
Howard H. Jones, director of athletics
and football mentor of Iowa, ha* con
vinced Hawkey* fan* that there l»
much truth In his theory that It Is
easier to take a green man with the
essential requisites of a football play
er and develop him than to take a
high school ‘ star" and convert him
to the ways of college football.
Coach Jones does not believe *t all
that high school luminaries do not
make good college players, but he de
clares that in a good many instances
on untutored youth with weight and
speed and fight can gain more renown
In college football and can become a
greater player than the man who
comes to college assuming that he
knows football, and too often unwill
ing to begin college football at the
fiot of the ladder.
Wesley L. Fry of Manning. Ia.,
quarterback on the 1923 Hawkeye
team, was perhaps the biggest "find"
of the year. Yet he came to Iowa in
the fall of 1922 with virtually no
knowledge or experience at football.
Coaches who tutored him as a fresh
man said his speed was his greatest
asset but that he knew littje of "in
side football." He acquired it with
such rapidity that he won the quar
terback Job over seyeral men who
had played throughout their high
school careers.
Midland Tea m !
to Play Haskell |
Fremont, Neb , Tree. ?0.—Full assur
ance of a Haskell Indian agatnat
Midland basket ball clash In Fremont
this season was brought shout with
the signing of contracts for a game
on January 10,
The game had hewn tentative up to
this time, with the officials unable to
straighten out various disagreements
as to satisfactory dates. Each coach,
however; has affixed his signature to
the necessary papars and Fremonters
are new looking forward to the Red
skin Invasion.
The game with Haskell will be the
first game of the season for Midland
and Coach Speer's dehut at the Luth
eran school as a basket ball mentor.
Coach Speer, however, has the knack
of putting out winning court teams
as was evidenced by hia record at I
Peru normal one of the cage teems in
a tie for the college championship
last season.
With hut two veterhn Midland
pagers on the squad this year, Spear
was somewhat handicapped. But sn
influx of promising high school ma
terial gives Midland prospects for a
successful season.
The struggle with Haskell will be
staged on the new gymnasium court
at the Junior High school, erected
this last summer.
