Passaic Five Sets Record With 124 Successive Wins New Jersey Cagers Have An nexed More Century Scores Than Any Other Team in Basket Ball History. New York, Jan. 14.—The writer is indebted to George H. Greenfield, sports editor of the Passaic Daily News, for Information about the bas ket ball team of Passaic High school, which recently scored Us 124th con secutive victory. It was suggested in this column that It might he a world record. Mr. Greenfield assures us it is. The pre vious record was 112 straight vic tories, established by the Buffalo Germans. On February 26, 1923, Passaic High heat this record when it scored its 113th victory over Ridgewood High school in a northern New Jersey inter scholastic league contest. The reader must not understand that any one team, any one aggrega tion of players, established this aston ishing record. The record, it appears, belongs to the school itself, to Ernest A. Blood, the basket ball coach of Passaic High. In the game which broke the record of the Buffalo Germans, for instance. Passaic used four separate teams. Credit Due Coach. Read what Mr. Greenfield has writ ten about the accomplishments of the PaSsaic High quintets in the .ast foui years: "Passaic's fame is due solely to tin genius of Ernest A. Blood, affection ately called Professor by his devotees In Passaic. I’nder Mr. Blood’s tute l.iee, 166 games have been won out of 166 played. "The present unbroken string of triumphs had its inception In the seth son of 1919-1926. That year the Red and Blue courtiers captured 26 games in a row. The following season 31 triumphs were added. "In 1921-1922. the season in which Bobby Thompson, star forward, scored 1,600 points alone. Passaic hung up 33 victories without a setback, and last year 28 successes were added. Sis games have been played so far this year, all triumphs." Passaic High has annexed more century scores than possibly any other team In basket ball history. In . little over four years no less than 12 one hundred scores have been com piled. Products of the Blood school have ' en represented on New Jersey s ■11 "ate” quintets for the past four v* a i s. Johnny Roosma. West Point's greatest basket ball star, is the foremost representative of Passaic High in the collegiate field. Contrary to a prevailing fallacy that Passaic's opponents are "hand picked,'' records prove that each year lor the past four years tho "wonder teams" have swept^through the open state championship competitions with the utmost case. Over half of the games piayed within the past four campaigns have taken place on foreign courts. The render Is, of course, wondering about Prof. Ernest A. Blood. What is the secret of his success ns a basket hall coach? How' old is he? What does he look like? How does lie talk? Mr. Greenfield has neglected to ipply the human Interest informs lion about the "professor," who must he an interesting man. pprhaps in another letter Mr. Greenfield w ill tell you about Profes sor Blood. The ability of a coach In any sport is measured by the success of his teams. Good coaches are rare. A good coach, or teacher, must possess a certain natural genius for teaching his sport. Professor Blood must he a gelnus of basket ball, one of the greatest of games. If a football coach could show a record of 124 consecutive vic tories by his teams he would be call ed a marvel.

Jumping over to Pethany the following evening, the invaders had a close call, nosing out the Cotner Bulldogs, 22 to 21, in a thrilling exhibition of the cage sport. Nebraska Wesleyan proved to be too strong for the Dale quintet and romped away with the long end of a 32 to 20 count. Gembler, forward, with eight field baskets and two free throws, was the mainstay of the Wes elyan machine. Cotner Shows Well. The Coiner Bulldogs, tutored by Coach Parminter. had the earmarks of a serious championship contender in their battle with the Wayne out fit. Manning, former Geneva high school star, was the ace of the. Bull dog defense. The Bethany quintet had a good defense and aided by the Porgaard brothers, l>oth six footers, should make things hot for opposing fives. * Peru normal's basket tossing ag gregntion, which went through the 1P23 season without a defeat, opened the season at Grand Island with a 20 to 13 win.

Sehlaifer in Bad With Boxing Body Morrie Was Not to Fight Be fore Scheduled Tilt With Jones, Says Commission. St. Paul. Minn.. Jan. 14.—Morrie Sehlaifer, Omaha welterweight, prob ably will be asked by the Minnesota Boxing commission to explain why he is to box in Omaha January IS, after it is said he had agreed to ap pear in a bout In St. Paul first. It was learned today. Sehlaifer was scheduled to meet Johnny Jnnes of Youngstown. O., In a 10-round go here on December 21. but the week before In a fight with Panama Joe Clans, he suffered In juries to his eye, which forced pro moters here to cancel the engage ment with Jones. According to W. F. Sailor, secre tary of the Minnesota Boxing com mission, Sehlaifer agreed to do no fighting until he had met Jones In St. Paul. loiter he accepted terms to box Paul Doyle on January 18, at Omaha, and the commission held this violated the understanding with the Minnesota fistic body. As a result, Billy Wells of Kng lung was substituted for Sehlaifer and Will meet Jones In a 10 round bout here January 2!>. Secretary Sailor said tonight he would ask Sehlaifer fo reimburse the St. Paul Boxing club for Its expenses ill endeavoring to stage the Jones Sehlaifer match. The commission also will seek to have Sehlaifer suspended for violating the agreement and Sailor will present the matter to thn an nual meeting of the National Boxing association, which begins in Dottle villa January 23. According In Pal Boyle, S hlalfei's manager, there is no stipulation In I.la contract for the Sehlaifer Jones fight to the effect that Sehlaifer was Jones. Hoyle stated that any agree nient the Minnesota commission made not to appear In a bout before meeting was transacted with Sehlaifer and not with hint. According In Boy la, the Minnesota Boxing commission Is not affiliated with tin- National Box lug association The tilutt has grabbed a jolt as messenger Imi) with the \Y. 1. and is studying holli champs- styles i sludlriniisly. Hr will challenge by 1 parrel .post Gambled Wills and llis Manager. PADDY MULLINS. manager of Harry Wills, the black panther of the ring, must figure that his man is either a champion in the bud or else a champion that's a dud. Mullins, it seems, doesn't want Wills to fight anyone but Champion .Tack Dempsey. Rickard Saturday offered tho black panther's boss something like $300,000 for Wills Firpo and Wills-Dempsey fights. Do you think Mullins took notice of that offer? No, not according to the re ports from New York. Mullins made it known that Wills wants Dempsey and no one else. Rooks funny. If Wills is so good, why doesn’t Mullins let ’em fight Kirpo and Gibbons? If Wills is as good as Mullins says he is, then fighting Kirpo and Gibbons is just picking up a littlei loose change. On tlie oilier hand, Mullins might figure that Wills is only good for one fight—a Dempsey battle. Demp and Wills would draw a record house ns far as attendance Is con cerned and would probably be Wills' last fight. Little is known of Wills' fistic ability. He has won over several set-ups here of late, but outside of these push overs hasn't beat any no table heavyweights. Shortest King Battles. IN a bout staged recently at San Jose, Cal., Jack Tollman, a light heavyweight boxer, knocked out Tel Titus in 12 seconds. The record book doesn't record the duration of lights, but after diving down deep into ring history we llnd that Dal Hawkins knocked out Mar tin Flaherty at Carson City, Nev., March 17, 1897, in four seconds. The two shortest fights on record were won by Battling Nelson and Billy Weeks. Nelson whip|e-d William Bossier in two seconds ai Harvey, III., and Weeks put Bo rneo Hagan to sleep in two sec onds at Wilkenson, Wash. One of the shortest fights ever held in Omaha was the Andy Schma der-Georce DeBray scheduled 10 round mill at the Auditorium some two years ago. Kchmader rushed from his corner at the sound of the gong and landed a right to DeBray's jaw that sent the Canadian down for the count. The fight lasted about four seconds. Leri May Join Fighters. JOHN DEVI, tlie all-American football star of the Haskell In dian institute, has played bas ket ball aguinst Creighton in Omaha. Omaha fans who saw the husky In dtan on the court can't give him very much as a basket ball player. Levi plays renter, but doesn't seem to bate the ol‘ fight that he has on the football field. One of the reasons might he traced to the fact that he doesn't like to play basket ball like he does foot ball. During his visit to Omaha we a-,1c <1 the big Bcdskin if he ever intended to do any boxing. A smile came over his face as he re marked that some day he expects to launch oil a fistic career. He also experts to make the Ameri can Olympic track and field team as a weight thrower and when he returns from the games will give boxing more time. Levi has a fighter's build, being broad-shouldered, well muscled and fast on his feet. With his well de veloped shoulder muscles lie could be made to hit hard, but whether he ran take ’em is another question. Few star football players ever make successful fighters The Mexico t ity V.
