W. AND J. LOOKS DANGEROUS TO WESTERN FANS Coach Neale and Team Arrive on Scene of Intersectional Tilt. GREAT CROWD ASSURED PASADENA, Cal., Dec. 30.—With the arrival of the Washington an<l Jefferson football squad here today, the stage Is set for the big game between ,he Presidents and the University of California at Tournament Park Monday afternoon. The Tournament of ltoses officials announced that there would undoubtedly be a capacity crowd on hand for the contest. Tournament Park seats 42000 persons and practically every seat has been sold. The arrival of the Presidents caused their stock to soar. The team has been highly touted by Eastern football experts and California has also come to recognize them as dangerous foes. While California is a strong favorite to win. bets on the probable score are scare and it seems to be the prevailing opinion that W. and J. will prove a tougher opponent than did Ohio State a year ago. On the arrival of the Presidents today. Coach Neale stated that his men are in great condition. He plans two short work-outs for tomorrow and will send them Into the fray in practically the same condition as that in which they left the train. The Eastern team has only nineteen players available for the contest, but Coach Neale is not worrying as he has not been forced to use more than fifteen or sixteen men in any important game this fear. Splllers, first string sub end, was left at Kansas City, because of illness. Coach Neale wired East for A1 Haddon. another sub end, to depart for the Coast at once, but it seems that Haddon decided he could not reach here in time and called off the trip after making hasty preparations to make the crosscountry dash. Andy Smith’s California squad is in grand shape. The men have been working hard every day and except for a couple of off days around Christmas there has been no break in their training. Herbert Kawlinson, former footbali writer and athletic director of the Denver Athletic Cluh and now a movie star, thinks the game will be very close. “California has a stronger team than the one that defeated Ohio State in the 3920 New Year's game," said Rawlinson. “But Washington and Jefferson is proportionately a better machine than the 1920 Ohioans. “The result is going to be a fast, brilliant and brainy game and a mighty low score. “California's aerial game is the prettiest I have ever seen. But Coach Neale of the Washington and Jefferson will have a defense to counter it. “The man who piloted W. and J. through a season of Eastern football without defeat Is not going to let California run away with the game on forward passes alone, no matter what Western fans think. "It's going to be a battle of brains and generalship as well as of football beef this year. “Two all-American stars are to oppose each other, a fact that should inject dynamite into the play. Muller, the star end of the coast eieven, is one of the- i:osen for the mythical allsfars. 1 ‘-ne-s are represented by Captain Stein at tackle. “Stein is of the rovir g type. He plays tackle, end and half neck to suit the occasion. He is the outstanding star of the Eastern team. “Muller Is the superman of the California eleven. It's going to be interesting and then some to compare the work of these two All-American stars when they are pitted against each other” Collegiate A. A. Stands When Princeton Objects; Grid Rales Remain Same NEW YORK, Dec. 30. —Ratification of smendments to the constitution of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which would change it from an advisory body to a controlling body have been delayed a year, it developed today, through the eleventh hour refusal of Princeton authorities to endorse them nt the concluding session of the sixteenth annual convention of that bndv here yesterday. Dean McClenahan of Prim-eton said the New Jersey institution would withdraw if the amendments were adopted. They were referred back to the executive committee. The stumbling block in the amendments was the clause under the heading “Purposes of the Association.” which reads: “The supervision, regulation and conduct by its constituent member* of intercoile'glare sports and regional and sectional-of amateur contests.” The association refused to Join the American Olympic Association in the formation of anew Olympic body. It was decided to stand pat on football rules, sentiment of coaches present being that a good, all-around open game had been fairly established. Martinsville Wins, 61-15 MARTINSVILLE, Ind.. Dec .30..—With • style of attack much superior to anything shown in th*dr two preceding games, the Martinsville High School basket tossvrs penetrated their opponents’ defense at will here last night and smothered the Daviess County lads under a h"avy blanket of fieid goals. The final score stood: Martinsville, Cl; Washington, 15. Before the first half had progressed far. the score became too one-sided to make the game interesting, the team-play of the winners carrying everything before it. Half-time found the score: Martinsville, 4.3; Washington, 5. After th<> first f*>w mintres of the second session, jCoai-h Curtis used substitutes liberally, but the score eonrlnm and to mount.

By JACK MCAUI.IFFE. LONDON, Dec. 30 Jack Dempsey and George Cook for the heavyweight championship of the world! 1 wouldn’t be a bit surprised to see this come about. Bather. I expect It.

He’s gone back so far Unit he i taking a chance witli any heavyweight. He’s accepting the risk purely for the coin in it. If Cook handles iiim like I think ho will, Georges will he a “dead one” long before the end of twenty rounds.

Londas and his toe hold did not seem much good against Reynolds’ cleverness and the Greek found his own pet hold being applied to his own anatomy in the first fall, which came after thirtyfive minutes and fifty seconds of wrestling. The announcer called the hold a Japanese toe hold, but whatever it was, Reynolds had the Greek's foot and leg under his good right arm trying to twist it off when Londas decided he had enough.

Plenty of the British fight expert# saw how Dempsey worked on the Frenchman and they are constituting themselves as a board of strategy at the Australian’s camp because they nre beginning to look upon him as a possibility to bring the British name out of the heavyweight mud.

EASTERN FIVE FACES BUTLER Yale Basket Barnstormers Tackle Pagemen at Tomlinson Hall Tonight. The big intersectional basket-ball game of the season awaitu local fans at Tomlinson hall tonight, when Butler clashes with Yale at 7:45 o’clock. Yale has been faring badly on her Ohio Invasion, but has been losing to good teams and these defeats have served to stimulate rather than deaden interest 1n tonight’s game, as they have shown that the big Eastern school is not invincible. Many local fans expect Butler to win tonight and tho Irvington five will have the well wishes of one of tho largest number of enthusiasts who ever witnessed a game here, if pre-game indications result in the turn-out expected. It will tie a clear case of the Western type of basket-ball against the Eastern style, for Coach Page is a Chicago product and is teaching the .Western type. Yale is expected to rely on a powerful defense and a stressed passing game for close-up shots, while Butler is expected to pay its usual attention to clever floor work and long shots. A probable Butler starting line-up would tie Hooker and Brown, forwards; Leslie, center, and Middleswortli and Colway, guards.

In the last period, however, the old-time Em-Itoe offensive got going and a big count was run up, the locals making a number of sensational long shots in addition to the fast under-the-basket work of H.
