Pasadena, Cal, Dec. 29. Ohio State, western conference foot ball champion, which will meet Cali fornia at Tournament Park on New Year's day in oris of the most im portant intersectional struggles -of the year, should rule favorite when the teams take the field.. f" This statement is made ,after the writer has seen the Pacificj coast champion practice for three days. While the caliber of foot ball played by the Buckeyes is well, known to followers of the game in themiddle west, California cannot be said to be as highly developed an eleven as Ohio, and it has the complex forma tions. . . ' The Calif ornians have not been put to the acid test as have the Buck eyes. Coach Smith's men went through their games in an, easy fash ion, until the closing minutes of play.

It Is certain that the California backs do not possess the power of the Wolverines ball carriers who did not make an Impression on the Buckeye line when distance was needed for first downs. - From tackle to tackle, the Ohio -line should outplay tile California forwards. Xumecek at center and J. Taylor and Trottrf-at guards, are a formidable center trio, while Captain Huffman and Spiers aro tackles of the reliable type. While California, has a strong forward wall, the only player who matches with any of the Buckeye linesmen is McMillan, tackle, who was cljosen for the all-Paclflo conference eleven and Majors, the guard.

A fortnight ago, during a' banquet for sporting men, ..where Carpentier and Coulon were guests of honor, Johnny jokingly remarked to Car pentier: "You can't never lift me." Carpentier was about to attempt to lift . the little boxer when Manager Descamps ordered him not to make the attempt. ' Descamps stated; that photogroph ers were present and would take a flashlight, and if Carpentier failed to lift Coulon the result would be a loss of the Frenchman's prestige in the United States. . Carpentier now has signified a willingness to attempt to lift Coulon,- but photographers will be barred. 1 countered many a tough spot on his journey. Jt was always a bad road, this bantam lane, but right now the bumps seem harder than ever. In dropping away from the cham pion, one is next confronted with such formidable performers as Pete Herman, who just relinquished the crown to Lynch after a stirring bat tle. Then come along such rough lads as Jack Sharkey, Pal Moore, the Memphis cyclone; Joe Burman, the bruising youngster from Chicago, and Johnny Buff, the Jersey City boxer, who changed the course of "Midget" Smith, in the latter's mad plunge, following his quick victory over Phil Franchini, a really clever boy, who will be heard from later. Where is there a soft spot in that collection? Joe Lynch has his work cut out for him in leading that brigade and no one should be grudge him anything he can get outof it.

Some Fans Say Heavyweight Is petting Away With Mur der by "Rabbit Punch." Chicago Tribune-Omaha Be Leased Wire. , Chicago, Dec. 29. Is Jack Decp sey a foul fighter? Some say the heavyweight champion is getting away with murder when it comes to, the technicalities of the game. ! .These certain "some". contend that! Jack Dempsey is a great champion, can hit like "sin" and all that, but he would be half as effective if re ferees would bar "the rabbit punch." There are many who say that if Dempsey continues to use the rabbit punch he will wake up to find he has been disqualified out of the heavy weight championship of the world. There is no doubt that the-rabbit blow is an infraction of the Marquis Of Queensberry rules. Milburn Saylor used it with great effect for a long while. He scored quite a number of knockouts before tfis op ponents got wise to his trick. Saylor was disqualified for using the rabbit punch in Australia. Over there in New Zealand fighters are disquali fied the moment they even attempt to use it. ,.' For the benefit of those who don't know what the rabbit punch is, we offer the following: "A sock back of the neck with the fist and forearm. Dempsey gets his opponent into position for the rabbit punch with a left hook to the body. This doubles up the victim and then Dempsey steps to the right and lets go hack of the neck."
