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.

Lincoln. Jan. 14.—Three teams of
tho Nebraska conference are on top
of the basket ball heap, Nebrnska
Wesleyan, Peru normal and Hastings,
all winning their opening games last
week.
Wayne normal's eastern invasion
of Donne, Cotner and Nebraska Wes
leyan territory featured tho opening
week. The Wayne five romped home
with two wins out of three attempts,
falling before the Nebraska Wesleyan
attack, 32 to 20, Saturday night.
Coach Fred Dale's midget quintet
of basketeers, with Captain Best in
the leading role, disposed of Doane,
31 to 10, In the inaugural debut for
both teams, staged on the Crete floor
Thursday night. 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. Gilkeraon and Frary
c-ged enough i-,'l'»‘» to give the
Teachers a lead that was never head
ed. The Zebras displayed a tricky
defense while Maranville and Ross
shared the goal shooting honors.
Hastings Wins Easily.
Hastings had an easy time with
"S ork, the Bronchos running aw ay
with a 36 to T victory. The Adams
county five took an early lead and
were ahead, 13 to 4. at the half. The
Vork quintet could not break through

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

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

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

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

be made to hit hard, but whether
he ran take ’em is another question.

U. S. Olympic Ski

New York. Jan. It.—National and
