California and Yale
New Year's Day Game
Practically Abandoned
Berkeley, Nov. 22. Hope for a
New Year's day foot ball game be
tween Yale and California has prac
tically been abandoned at the Uni
versity of California here, it was
said today at the graduate manag
er's office following receipt of a
telegram from Yale authorities. .
The exact nature of the telegram
was not made public but tentative
plans for the game were dropped
when the telegram was received. It
is known that no financial decision
has been made.
California wanted to play Yale
New Year's day at the new Stanford
stadium or in Pasadena, under the
auspices of the Tournament of
Roses committee.
iWk Permanently Suspended by
New York Wrestling Commission
New York, Nov. 22. Develop
ments in the local "wrestling war"
indicate that the more or less mud
dy politics of the mat game will be
fully exploited to the possible deep
injury of the sport.
While Tex Rickard. who promot
ed the "bloomer" at Madison Square
Garden recently, was proclaiming
his determination to proceed with
an elaborate wrestling program out
lined by his matchmaker, George
Bothner, the state athletic commis
sion, at a special meeting, affirmed
the permanent suspension of John
Pesek and added the name of Pc
sek's manager, Larney Lichtcnstein,
to the official "blacklist."
Pesek was barred from further
participation in wrestling bouts in
this state for deliberately fouling
Marin Plestina in their Garden
match. Lichtcnstein, who is a man
ager of boxers and wrestlers, is en
joined from further activities in the
state.
While not admitting it officially,
members of the commission take the
attitude that Pesek was instructed
to make a farce of the Plestina bout
in order to discredit Rickard's pro
motion of the sport.
Curley Behind It, '
Rickard's friends profess to sec
the fine Italian hand of Jacques Cur
ley, former wrestling pooh-bah. in
the fiasco. Rickard stands well with
the state athletic commission, while
Curley is persona non - grata. Be
cause of this, say Curley's sym
pathizers, Curley has been unable 6
secure a license for holding bouts
in local armories. However,, he is
said to control most of the promi
nent wrestlers aiiil it is norr a que

Coach Schmidt is drilling his grid
sters in tht-fine points of foot ball
this week, and when the purple-jer-
ters Leave,
others. North Platte has been vic
torious in all games and promises
the Lincoln team a hard, last game.
The clash should be one of the most
desperate of the season. The stellar
work of Lewis with the Red and
B15ck will be counted upon in the
North Platte came for a Lincoln vie
tory. "The dusky pilot of the Lin
coln team has been doing more, than
his share of the work with the high
school team," carrying the 1)all, pass
ing, kicking and handling the de
fensive end like a veteran. Krieg and
Brown will probably take the half
back positions with Captain Thomas
at full,. Morrison and Gardner are
listed for the wings, Drummond and
Gillespie for tackles, with Cummings
and Dinges at guard. Hutchison will
hold the pivot.
The Red and Black is working
hard this week, preparatory to their
clash wth the Platters, and hold a
steadfast belief that the northerners
can be drubbed. The two teams have
not been playing the same list of
opponents and a comparison of their
ability rests in the Turkey day game
alone.
Four Chicago High
Grid Teams Seek Games
Chicago, Nov. 22. Emulating their
larger brothers, the western college
foot ball teams which in several inter
sectional games defeated eastern
elevens this season, four Chicago
high school elevens will go east this
week seeking victories. Games will
be played in Fitchburg, Mass., Phil
adelphia, Brocton, Mass., and Haver
hill, Mass. -
tion as to whether they will aban
don" him to hook up with Rickard or
continue -under Curley's booking in
other states.
It is unofficially announced, how
ever, that Ed "Strangler" Lewis,
formerly known as a "trust" wrest
ler, has consented to go on at the
Garden in the near future with an
opponent picked by Rickard. Need
less to say this opponent will not be
Plestina.- who proved to be a slug
gish and uninteresting performer.
Marsh on the Carpet '
The suspension of J. C. Marsh,
Plestina's manager, may be lifted
within a fortnight as a result of at.
informal hearing at the boxing com
mission offices in Lower Broadway.
It was explained by Secretary H.
C. Burchell that Marsh was realty
not . suspended, but that his license
as a manager had been questioned
and the "investigation" requested
through Governor Miller's office.
This was also said to be an inciden.
of wrestling "politics."
Marsh appeared before the com
missioners, and reviewed at length
the history of his feud with the so
called "trust." He" is said to have
made a favorable impression.
The recent disgraceful affair at the
Garden did not reflect any great
credit on Plestina's ability as a
wrestler, although he displayed qual
ities of sportsmanship in marked
contrast to Pesek's tactics.
Those who have seen the huge
Serbian perform on the mat in othet
cities agree that he is a great defen
sive wrestler, but lacks aggressive
ness and is the poorest "showman"
of them all. ' He has been operating
on the ir.at for 10 years without ac
;uinri2 a b'Z refutation.

Maroons Leave for
Game With Tarkio
University of Omaha Will
Close Grid Season
Thanksgiving.
Coach Ernie Adams and his Uni
versity of Omaha foot ball team, 20
strong, left this morning for Tarkio.
Mo., where they will battle Tarkio
college Thanksgiving clay.
Adams expects his team to win
using straight foot ball. The heavy
Maroon line should open big holes
in the Tarkio line if it runs true to
form.
Omaha has suffered only one de-
fof tViia vr that at thp hands of
Vtht Trinity team, and it is the opin
ion of fans, that the Maroons would
have won the state championship
had they remained in the state con
ference. The local foot bailers went through
a hard practice last night, and a
final workout will be held at Tarkio
this, afternoon. .

gaged to. meet Eddy Wallace, the
Brooklyn lightweight, in Brooklyn
next Monday night for 12 rounds
Wallace has stood off four cham
pions, Kid Williams, Johnny Kil
bane, Freddy Welch and Benny
Leonard, and is confident he will de
feat the new junior lightweight
champion.
Paul Doyle, the New England
welterweight, and Marty Cross, have
been matched for 12 rounds in
Brooklyn on Saturday night.
Arrest Four Youths
For Scalping Tickets
Chicago, Nov. 22. Four youths
arrested for scalping tickets for
the Chicago-Wisconsin foot ball
game Saturday were fined $5 and
costs yesterday. Two others were
fined $25 and costs. The cases
against three other alleged scal
pers were dismissed because of
the lack of evidence.
"It seems that a man cannot
get into a foot ball game without
paying four prices. This thing
should be stopped," Judge Mor
gan , said.
Superior Legion After
Game With Tecumseli
Superior, Neb., Nov. 22. (Special
Telegram.) The management of the
Superior American Legion foot ball
team is very anxious to schedule a
postseason game with Tecumseli or
any other good team in the state.
Tecumseh ..seems- willing to play
most any team except Superior, al
though it owes Superior a return
game from last season. Superior has
won every game on its schedule and
feels that its has a just claim to the
Legion championship of the state.

Tex Puzzled Over
! ' ' '
Boxers' Attitude
New York, Nov, 22. Tex Rick
ard declared today the combination
of boxers, including the champions
of several classes and their man
agcrs, aligned against him, will not
put him out of business. He pro
fesses to be puzzled by their attitude
but took no cognizance of the re
ported intention of a Coffroth-Buckley-Johnston
organization to
run a rival club in opposition to
Madison Square Garden ihow house.
"It is all a puzzle to me," said
Rickard. "I have made some a11m
ing overtures and offers to, those
managers and their fighters to come
into the Garden and box for me, but
they have ignored the offers and gone
off to other cities and accepted en
gagements for much less money.
They have started this fight against
me for some fancied grievance, but
I propose to sit tight.
"If any of those men ean point
out to me what reforms are necessary
and what they expect from me I will
be glad to listen to them. I . have
made efforts to obtain the services
of several champion boxers, but
they refuse to listen to any offer.
yet they hop off in other directions
and do business.
"As I understand It some f these
men object to the system of match
making in the Garden. Now if they
can suggest better matches I will
very gladly listen. If in my. judg
ment their suggestions will improve
the caliber of bouts in the Garden I
would be governed accordingly. I
have not discriminated against their
charges."
