EDDIE ASH
W.-J. TEAM IS NOW HAILED AS WONDER ELEVEN Work in Coast Game Shows It Has All-Around High Class. STEIN A REAL CAPTAIN PASADENA, CaL, Jail. 4—Washington and Jefferson, the Eastern football team -which held California, undisputed t’aciflc Coast Conference champions, to a scoreless tie at Tournament Park Monday, is heralded as the strongest eleven Which ever invaded sunny California, The Eastern eleven’s offensive und defensive Strength was a revelation to thoee who have followed tho gridiron game in this Section for years. Such blocking, charging and vicious tackling has never been seen along the Pacific Coast before, and for this reason W. and J. is looked upon as a great machine that was well versed in all departments of play. W. AND J. PRIMED fc'Olt THIS BATTLE. Condition was the football essential which showed that the caliber of footbail played in the Middle West and Par East is superior to that played iu this Section, iu previous years Eastern elevens have not been in physical shape to combat tho fast coming elevens In the Far West. That W. and J. was iu condition and primed for tho battle was shown by the Fact that the team played through the entiro game with eleven men, while Call, foruia made several substitutions. Coach Neale and Manager Murphy of the Pennsylvanians proved conclusively that a squad of men can be taken across the continent and still play a great brand of football by landing on the battleground a day or two in advance of the struggle. MOKAL -VICTORY FOR W. AND J. In striking contrast was Monday’s struggle to that between California and Ohio State a year ago. In this year's game W. and J, won a moral victory because its line charged and the smashing ends drove in and broke up plays before they formed. In the struggle a year ago the Buckeye forwards did not charge and the ends failed to smash. The result was that California played rings around the eleven which had won the Big Ten title. Although weather conditions were unfavorable for a game of the open sort, W. and J. outplayed the Bears in every department except kicking. The Presidents were on their toes and fought the ball all the way. On the other hand, California, which had displayed a feeling of confidence for a week before the game, was listless, and did not get into the game with the fighting spirit necessary to combat a team of the easterners’ type. MVLLfiB MADE TO LOOK BAD. With the exception of Archie Nesbit, there were no piayers on the California eleven who matched up with some of the men seen In the East and Middle West. Dan McMillan, the tackle, played a great game, but not enough plays were sent at him to get a true line on his defensive fcvork. Brick Muller, the much heralded ■P<L looked bad, while Charley Erb at iwarter failed to live up to expectations, of California being called the —eleven" the W anil J rooters the Bears the "wondering just about tits the mental Ke ct the California players, who were town Tuesday. They could not jtfelerstand how it was taey could not or stop the attack -if the visiting -confidence, one of the hardest obSSJ.cles a coach must combat. STEIN Heat leader. 4? he superb playing of Capt. Russell Stein of W. and J was the talk of the football Rialto Tuesday. This giant sized up plays in a manner which would have been a credit to any coach. He directed his team's attack and was in the battle at all times. He Is one of the really great players of the year. Harold Erickson and Wayne Brenkert, star backs of the Eastern eleven, were roundly praised for tbelr great playing They advanced the ball for consistent gains, while the long run by Brenkert for a touchdown, which was not allowed because Captain Stein was offside, was use of the features of the game. Both elevens were banqueted at their respective hotels Monday night, A majority of the California piayers who live in this section of the State left for their homes immediately after the game. The W. and J squad, which was deprived of Its sightseeing tours before the struggle, will leave for home on Thursday.

BOXING LEADERS HERE TO MEET L. G Winn, recently appointed organizer of the new boxing commission of this city by Mayor Shank, has called a meeting of the nine men first named as members of the board for tomorrow afternoon in the mayor’s office. At this time the final organization of the commission will take place. The personnel of the new body governing boxing in Indianapolis probably will bo cut down to four members. Just who these men will be has not been definitely decided and it is not even known whether the original men named will be included in the list. All this will be thrashed out at the meeting tomorrow. Winn is the only man definitely named as a member of the commission. The first thing to be done is to decide upon the rules and regulations necessary to govern the sport here. This will not be difficult as other cities have satisfactory laws under which bouts are being conducted and it is planned to follow in part some of the details worked out by other communities.

International Loop to Discuss Landis Draft Plan Feb . 13 President Toole Fails to Indicate Stand to Be Taken by League. NEW YORK, Jan. 4.—A proposal to a return to the drafting system agreed upon last month by baseball’s advisory council, will be accepted or rejected by the International League next month, according to Indications today. "The International League's schedule meeting will be held here Feb. 13,” said President John Toole. “While I have not heard officially from Commissioner Landis regarding the plan for a return to the draft, 1 expect to receive a communication before our next meeting convenes.” Asked regarding his attitude toward the new plan, President Toole said . “Nohting new has developed along official lines. At Its last meeting our league stood behind its rejection of the draft and the features of the new proposition have only been discussed informally. Naturally, any league can change its attitude. In advance of the next meeting of all our club owners li would be impossible to predict anything. Peronally, I have no doubt that the proposal will be submitted by Judge Landis in due ime and that in that event it will certainly come up for discussion. Tho American Association discussed the proposal at Its recent schedule meeting, but I have never heard anything re garding the attitude of Its individual club owners. I do not wish to make my opinion public at this time.” According to the present national agreement any of the nondraft leagues have leeway to return to the drafting system by making their intentions known before Feb. 15 of any year.

TROUBLES FOR MIDDIE CHAMP New York Latest to Bar Wilson, but Action Is Thought Hasty.
NEW YORK. Jan 4—Without a place to use It, Johnny Wilson’* middleweight title will turn out about as useful to him as snow shoe* in Panama. New York is the latest State to decree “we can't use you, John." Three other States have declared quarantine against him and practically nothing remains now but the small time, where the champion will hear talk in dollars instead of thousands Wilson has been out of luck since he "won 1 ' the title from Mike O'Dowd and his championship career bus been one mess aft-r another In many cases the crossed fingers which wag at the mention of the middleweight king’s name are justified, but in the present case there are two sides to the story. In announcing his intention to run out of a contract with Tex Rickard to meet Harry Greb. the Pittsburgh lump Dig Jack. Wiisou was making what may prove a foolish attempt to get even with Rickard. The feud dates back to Labor day when Rickard refused to carry out a contract to pay Wilson $37,506 for meeting Bryan Downey. Rickard said the New Jersey commission had ordered the money with held, but many whispers were beard that Rickard asketi the commission to do it. It has always been thought strange that the commission never took an open stand on the case. Wilson wanted his money and also he didn’t want to fight for it. Rickard wirelessed him the information that ho could have the money if he would sign for another fight in the garden and Wilson, figuring on usiug a club against a black jack, signed to meet Greb and was given his money. Wilson then wrote Rickard and said he had no intention of filling his contract. The letter was shown to the commission and he was suspended indefinitely. It looks as if the commission might have acted rather hastily. It might have been better to withhold judgment unti the contract actually has been repudiated. Under the same circumstances, it would be hard to imagine Commissioner Landis suspending a ball player because be wrote his manager he Lad no lntcn fi ou of filling a contract to play ball next season.

Bresnalian in Need of Numerous Ball Players for 1922 T oledo Club Xeeds Most Everything to Put It in Running. TOLEDO, Ohio, Jan. 4.—Roger Bresnatiaa says lie is to tie a contender fur the 1922 Tom Ilickey flag, but he hasn't \et been able to tell ins patron* how he Is,going to do It. It is true that he has several deals on for players but how these deals will couie out is the thing the fans would like to know. They received a gentle reminder ot this phase of the situation a short time ago when verllb atlon was hud of the report that Pitcher Jimmy Middleton had been trolled bv the Detroit flub for two . ball players. ' The fans were given to ler id trltig tic off season of 1920 that Middleton who had gone to Detroit would lie returned to Toledo if he failed to make the Id? league grade. Jimmy failed, in the opinion of Ty Cobb and he ■ doesn't return to Toledo. So that’s that. I ltral LEFT-OVERS WON'T FILL BILL Bresnahau attended the nice ting in Buffalo, ait ' th s" of New York and Chicago and didn’t And a thing,” to quote him -'lre. tly and correctly. He said, semi sum 'mi, that lie dldn t know where the players were coming from but Ihe ‘ was confident ho would find ’em somewhere.” Bresuahan knows and so does everybody else, that Ids last year's left overs will not do And again It is not likely Toledo fans will rally to the support of a seventh-place club unless an effort Is made to build up the defense. There were several reasons attached to last year’s failure. Firstly, Bill Clyeut and his boss couldn’t get along and the Indifference was contagious. Jim Thorpe, the Olympic Indian, was suspended for alleged failure to keep In condition. Cla'ude Derrick apparently "laid down on the Job” and Ben Dyer hurdled to the outlaws, Bill Morrlsetto, a pitcher, wanted to be the manager and he too, was suspended for lack of training. Then along about the Fourth of July came the big blow-off with Clymer resigning and Fred Luderus being made manager, Rut Fred was manager In name only. Field captain would be a better word for the Toledo owner was always on the Job with Ills Instructions and this after Luderus had been given to understand that he was to have “complete charge of the team.” LUDERUS UNABLE TO FIND TALENT. Luderus has signed his contract for next year. Ho is endeavoring to line up some players out at the Chicago meeting two weeks ago he met Ilresnahan and told him he was unable to report any
its lead intact by taking three contests Irom the Ballards. Other three-time winners were Crescent Paper, Nordyke & Marmon and Armour & Cos. Bell Telephone, Link Belt, Taggart and G &. J Tire won two out of three. The best team score of the Tuesday night bowling was made by the Crescent Paper five with a count of 938. The leading Citizens Gas outfit showed the best form with scores of 894, 876 and 879. Walter Moore of the Telephone five was in form and shot scores of 223, 204 and 201. The high single game count went to Hofman of the Crescent Paper team. He toppled the maples in his second effort for a count of 231. Johnson ot the Citizen’s Gas squad got 222 pins for another high total. A meeting of the committees and offl cers of the Indianapolis Women’s Bowling Association has beer called for tomorrow night, the meeting to be held at 8 o’clock at the Democratic Club.

Ohio State Fooled Star Who Left His Position
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 4.—Now that the 1921 football season is history it is permissible to relate how Ohio State defeated one of its strongest foes last fall due to a slight weakness f one of the men picked by Walter Camp for his first all-American eleven. The slight deficiency was discovered by an Ohio Slate scout. In early games one of Ohio State’s scouts noted that this player had a disposition to leave his position on the line to help back up another part of the forward wall which was weaker. A trick play was drawn up and true to advance dope at a critical moment, this athlete was far out of his place In the Ohio State game, and the winning play was shot through the hole where he should have been.
progress Luderus returned to his home at Three Lakes, Wls. The Toledo club has a pitcher, Paul McCullough, whom Bresnahau wants to trade for gome players. He thought he had a deal on with Pat Moran for a shortstop, Sammy Crane by name, but this also fell through, Crane going else where. The Toledo club will need about four pitchers, two catchers, a third baseman nrid one outfielder. Outside of that the situation looks pretty good. Al Wlckiand probably will be back for the right garden and Bill Lamar Is booked to play center. Thorpe will not be signed to a 1922 contract Paddy Ban man is through ns a class AA ball player and that leaves third base open. Roy Grimes will pluy second base unless he holds out for a big leaugue salary. There Is no shortstop in sight. B'dlent and Ayres are the only real dependables for the mound and neither of these may be back. Several youngsters tried out last year will be absent next season.

The result of tho Tech Alumni contest came ns a surprise to high school net fans.

Manual has a great scorer in llnrmeson and with just a little help from the others Manual could develop into an outfit to be respected out over the State. The Bedford contest will be an acid test, as that team is nlwavs excepionally strong on defense and Is hard to beat on Its own floor.

They have uncovered a good player In Appleman, who is being used at backgunrd. He is a good fighter and is learning more about the game each day.

‘GOLDIE’ GOES TO FLOOR JOB Wabash Coach Changes Line* up, Putting Peare at Center and Benching Burns. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Jan. 4. Coach Vaughan hopes that he has fonnd the draw-back in the play of the Little Giunt basket-ball five. The team has not been hitting the pace that last year made it so feared in this State. '1 he same old precision and speed has been lacking and baskets seemed to be difficult to get. The Scarlet coach has been shifting his new players about in an effort to get the proper combination and at last, has fonnd an aggregation that looks pretty good to him. From the looks of things now the veteran floor guard, Butch Burns, will not be in the line-up that will start against De I’auw Saturday night at Greencastle. Goldsberry will be used at floor guard and a freshman player will be given • chance at the center job. Peare, a lengthy yearling, will have his opportunity. The youngster has been showing up in fair style and Vaughan hopes for good things from him. Burns has not been of any assistance on the offense this season and the Little Giant attack.ls expected to be Improved by the new arrangement. Crane and Adams will stay at the forward posts. Capt. Grater at back guard is a fixture and is playing his usual steady game. All efforts are being exerted toward the Tiger game .Saturday night. The Scarlet baaketeers always fight hardest against the Greencastle rivals and comparati”e scores mean nothing. From the Purdue games it would look as though the De I’auw five had a big edge, but fans here do not think so and net followers out over the State shake their heads when the game is mentioned and say, “You never can tell.” Although a large number of rooters would like to see the game from here they must take a chance of getting into the gymnasium the night of the contest as only 100 tickets will be alleted the Wabash students.
