Coast’s Greatest Full back. Pasadena, Cal., Dec. 10.—When Knute Roekne's rollicking horsemen gallop Into the Rose bowl here on New Year's day in an Rtteinpt to twist the tails of Pop Warner's Le laml Stanford Cardinals it will be the first time the South Berniers have played on the Pacific coast and the third time a leading eleven from the middle west has clashed with a Cali fornia team. In 1S94 Stanford defeated Chicago in a post-season tilt and in 1921 the University of California humbled Ohio State, 28 to 0. Harvard has defeated Oregon, Ore gon smashed the University of Penn sylvania and Washington State has taken Brown into ramp in other note worthy east-west contests, but memo ries of these games will be dimmed by the Notre Dame Staiiford clash. Never has interest in football been as keen on the slopes of the Pacific as this year and never has a game de luxe, such as iiie Rose bowl bat tle. been offered at the season's finale. Stanford, should it lose to Notre Dame, and It doesn’t look In the cards as though anything else could happen, will have no regrets. The Palo Alto institution has an eleven of veterans, one of the strongest red shirt teams in history. Stanford's greet drixe from behind to finish Its game xvith California in a 20-20 score makes Warner's outfit the strongest team west of the Rock ies, with the possible exception of Andy Smith’s Golden Bears. Smith's team, ns the California-Stanford game demonstrated, hasn't the reserx’e power of the Cardinals. Neither has t'allfornia such smashing etuis as Stanford, nor as brilliant passing backs. Nor hhs California a Nex-ers. Krnie Never*, Stanford’s huge fullback, is the greatest individual player the west has ever produced —the Coast's "Red" Grange. Ijke Grange, ije has been stopped al ready this season, and Notre Daine's smashers may stop him ag»in. Injured three times this season, Nevers was out of all of Stanford's hig games, but he is ex pected to lie in fine fettle for the Pasadena fray. Sending Stanford against the powerful champions from Indiana will not bother Glenn Scobey War tier, the dean of American football coaches. It’s an old story for him, dating hack to 1899, when Warner brought the Carlisle Indians to San Francisco and Rcdwater and a few other pla.xers with picturesque names defeated California, I to 0. Warner came to Stanford this year and his success has been remarkable. He went through the season xxithout a defeat, and ns an anti-climax to the Notre Dame game, stopped Cali fornia's long string of victories. Stanford, with Warner as mentor, boasts interesting coaching history. No less personages than Walter Camp, who picks All-American elevens Jr»m a typewriter pitched not far from New Haven, and Fielding \o*t, the great Michigan der. year* ngo paved the way for Warner at Stanford. Camp, for the f.rst time since he. became famous as a picker of mythi cal elevens, visited the Pacific coast this saason and may sit in at the ieath New Tear's day. Notre Dame will enter the lists a slight favorite, at least among the Intelligencia of the gridiron.

A. Hclia binger of tho Creighton unlvcr. sily basketeers, plans to pend bis Bluejays through bard scrimmage from now on. The pre-sea*or. workouts of tin Hliltoppers lia\« been entirely satisfactory as : far as the turn- A out and general enthusiasm is con cerned, but with Schablnger forced to t^rn the reins over to Captain Johnnv Trautman on several occasions when the chief of the Blues left his proteges on scheduling forages, the Blues have had little scrimmage. The practice thus far this sea son lias bee* mostly on tile rudi meiits of tile gallic. The squad has had lots of passing of all kinds, and basket shooting from all antics and distances, but very little scrim mage. Now, with Coach Mctiahan's freshmen organised to offer com petition in scrimmage, the varsity ran look forward to pleasant eve nings in the future, for in Moylaii, Diesing. Coffey, O’Brien, Dugan, Quimi, Higgins, Hayes and Mitchell, McGahan lias men who are capable of making it very interesting for the first stringers. Captain Johnny Trautman and R>an, lettermen, are showing up to advantage at forward, while Robey. Brown and Bertoglio seem to be of first string caliber for the forward berths. ‘‘Ike’’ Mahoney has as his under, studies at center, Shinstock, Ardcil and Herheit. Shinstock will be re membered as the six footer who played hangup ball with the fresh men last year, while both Ardell 1 and Herbert are football men. ' Three lettermen, Speieher, Koudele and Corneman are out for the guard positions. Keyt and Conway are new men trying out for barricading berths. Former Omaha Hurler Traded Byron Speece, leading Omaha pitch er In 192J. and Outfielder Oarl Smith, both members of th® championship Washington club, have been traded to the Cleveland American league team for Stanley Coveleskie, famous pitch er of the Indians. Speece was purchased by the Sena tors from Omaha at the close of the 19-3 campaign In the Western circuit. With Washington last season, Speece was used most of the time as a "warm up" hurler for the batters. He got into the world series as a pitcher but didn't last long. ' /pACE- .
