w More Grange 1 • HAVE been taken to task by some college men for defending Red Grange in his jump into' professional football and his efforts to make some money after struggling along on fifty-five dollars a month. We still can not find a word condemnation for Red. One of the greatest reasons for his popularity has been his unassuming ways—his boyishness and unaffected bearing under tons of praise and publicity. He did what most any other such unsophisticated American youth would have done and accepted an offer which would make him rich while others just out of college are struggling along in a battle for a living. But in all fairness we must say that there are two sides to the question. We can not say a word against Red and his choice, but we never have said that professional football compares with the college sport. And there is one thing that Red risks in the pro game. Grange takes the chance of losing his reputation on the grid—his greatest asset. Asa salesman or movie actor, there was no such danger. But the galloping ghost §""n “clean up” before any such •e thing happens—if it does hapn at all. MATTER OF BUSINESS There is no denying the fact that the big pro games lack that “do or die” spirit which raises college football to the very pinnacle as a spectacle and as a character builder for the. participants. A pro gridder is simply living up to a business contract. A pro player rarely is giving every ounce of strength that is in him. It is useless to argue that the Bears, who will play eight games in eleven days (another contest was added Tuesday), can give their utmost in each battle. But all this is no indictment of Grange. He is on exhibition as a frenzied public pays to see the latest hero. In all this uproar professional football has gained tremendously. People who never heard of the Chicago Bears now hear about them every day through the newspapers. Those who never dreamed the pro game had so many of the best former college stars have found it out while reading about Grange. ON DEFENSE , But through it all the professional sport has been put more or less on the defensive. The promoters who make a living out of the grid reputations made in college claim to have a rule in which they agree not to tamper with athletes while in school. It is certain Biat this agreement was violated m the case of Grange. The professionals must be careful if the whole affair does not act as a boomerang and fly at them. They made a mistake by trying tol sign Grange at the close of his junior year in school. Red admitted he had been approached, but stayed to play his last year at Illinois. Now it seems as though they are making another error in scheduling too many games in such a short period of time. Old Ben Franklin once said that honesty was the best policy. A football player can not be honest with himself or his public if he plays eight games in eleven days. You see we, are willing to admit that there are two sides to this controversy, but as far as Red is concerned who can blame him? Many stones have been thrown by people living in glass houses. Those among you who have turned down thousands of dollars with as little reason as you give for Red not making a fortune may take aim and fire. The rest of you kindly refrain. * * * Here’s a basketball team that should move over into Indiana. Wilmington College, an Ohio institution, has scheduled forty games of basketball for the season. We have a name for that club right now—the Broken boxing fans have been j I I wondering why the next L —I mitt show at Tomlinson hall is to be held on Tuesday instead of Monday as usual. Billy Shine, promoter, comes forward with the explanation that many of the “regulars” at the boxing entertainments are also inveterate “first nighters” when a show like Ed Wynn’s Grab Bag comes to the city. Wynn opens at English’s next Monday—and there you are, the secret’s out. * * * There is a ruling in the Indiana Collegiate Conference that none of the members is to play an independent team. Oakland City College clashed with Lockyear’s Business College of Evansville Tuesday night. There you are. Need we say any more to a wise independent manager who wants to play some college games? * * * j INY team that is not “considered” by the Tourna- > i J ment of Roses committee for the annual New Year’s game on the Pacific coast should feel almost insulted. Already four teams have been mentioned for the intersectional affair at Pasadena against Washington. Pittsburgh, Colgate, Tulane and Iklabama have been named as “possibilities.” Each year this same procedure is gone through. The only strange thing about It this time is that Notre Dame is not on the list of teams. There is a simple explanation. Washingi ton and Nebraska played a 0 to 0 tie and the Huskers beat the “Irish,” 17 to 0. It looks as though Colgate may take the trip. But we wouldn’t hazard a guess. We know one thing. A southern outfit would have a better chance to compete against the climate. Tulane or Alabama is used to playing with the mercury in the thermometer climbing toward the top.
HOREMANS LEADING CHAMPION SCHAEFER IN TITLE CUE MATCH
NEWSBOY FIGHTER IS STAR ‘Mushy’ Callahan Has Coast Wild Over His Climb in Fisticuffs. By Dan Thomas, NBA (Service Writer LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2.—Two years ago “Mushy” Callahan was a young newsboy, who picked up considerable side money by "scalping’’ tickets and selling boxing magazines in front of local fight arenas. Today, others are “scalping” tickets —with "Mushy’s" name printed on them in big type—and others are selling those same magazines—with “Mushy’s” picture on the cover. Stops Vet Moran Callahan gained national recognition by knocking out Pal Moran, one of the greatest lightweights of all time, who in fifteen years of ring battles was never off his feet. And Callahan, celebrating his twentieth birthday, put him down for the count of ten in the third rqund. It was the second time “Mushy" had knocked out a boxer who never had been down before. He stopped Russie De Roy of North Dakota in the same ring, also in three rounds. In the past year Callahan has not dropped a decision. He fought a draw with ‘Ace Hudkins, the Nebraska “wildcat,” but five of the six local papers gave him an edge in the fighting. After Goodrich Eddie Sears, Callahan’s manager, who Is well known throughout the country as a handler of boxers, Is trying to get local promoters to match Callahan with Jimmy Goodrich, recognized lightweight champion. “Mush’s” normal fighting weight is 138% pounds, but Sears has guaranteed he will make 135 pounds for Goodrich. If the match Is made, and it probably will be within the next few months, Callahan will be a popular favorite among local boxing fans. LEWIS VS. ROMANO Bu United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 2. —Strangler Lewis and Mike Romano meet here tonight in a finish wrestling match. It is expected to be a battle of headlocks for Romano Is said to be just about as skillful with the “headcrusher” as Lewis.

Final Block for Balkline Crown to Be Played Tonight—Belgian 87 Points Ahead. i K)*Vnlted Press CHICAGO, Dec. 2.—Edouard Horemans, the sensational Belgian cue artist, held his own in the second 500-point block of the 1,500-point match he is now playing with young Jake Schaefer Tuesday night and as a result is leading the American by 1,000 to 913. x The third and deciding block of 500 is to be played tonight.
At the end of the first block, Horemans had a lead of 500 to 301. Young Jake cut down this advantage of 199 points to 87 Tuesday nightHoremans counted first in the second block and clicked off 60 points on the Inning resumed from Monday’s unfinished run. Schaefer missed two difficult three-carom shots left by the Belgian, and Horemans added 55 more to run the count to 605 to 301. Horeman s safety play wa.‘( superb and the champion could not get started in the early innings. Horemans used his favorite masse shot to advantage. In the later Innings, however, Jake got started in the sensational form which made him titleholder and cut down his opponent’s lead. Horemans reached the 1,000 mark, but Schaefer was up in the running with 913. TURNER CARD Date Changed for Second Amateur Ring Show. The second amateur boxing show of the season, under auspices of the South Side Turners, will be held Wednesday, Dec. 16, Instead of Dec. 9, as had been planned, It was decided at a meeting of the Turner boxing committee Tuesday night. - The change was made because the date originally selected fell on the night after Billy Shine’s pro show of next week, and It is the desire of the amateur authorities to avoid conflict with Tomlinson hall entertainments. Jimmy Dalton, for several years boxing instructor at the Hoosier Athletic Club, has been engaged In a similar capacity by the South Side Turners, and will start building up a stable of amateur mit sllngers for the Turners. A general invitation is extended to all young men In the city who would like to take up the fisticuff pastime to try out for the Turner boxing c-.lass. All aspirants showing ability will be given free Instruction and entered In the amateur shows.
Minnesota, perhaps, topped them all in this kind of material. In the lowa game Doc Spears had exactly ten sophomores and in most of the Gophers’ tilts youngsters bore the brunt of battle. In Murrell, Joesting and /Umqulst, Spears brought out a sterling trio, Joesting being rated one of the biggest finds of a most productive campaign. Michigan’s Star At Michigan Yost flashed “Bo” Molenda, Bennie Oosterbaan, Sammy ’ Babcock and Gewis Gilbert among others. The first two named ranked right alongside of Friedman as Michigan’s best bets. lowa, of course, had Nick Kutsch, the illustrious “cowboy,” who got off to a sensational start, only to appear a bit mediocre in later frays. He’ll bear watching next season, however. Elmer Marek’and Fred Grim were Ohio State’s best contributions. Injuries, though, held Marek back to a great extent, keeping him on the bench much of the time. Like Kutsch he should be mighty formidable in 1926. Grim showed to advantage practically throughout the chase. “Tiny” Lewis At Northwestern “Tiny” Lewis made a favorable impression, his field goal against Michigan not only handing the Wolverines their only defeat but also kept Yost’s team from going through the campaign without being scored on. Other Big Ten schools also developed some first-class sophomore gridders, though the Minnesota and Michigan output outranked any of the rest. Wilcox of Purdue, a real baokfleld star, was playing- his first year of varsity bail. Certainly it was one of the greatest years for youngsters in conference history. CHICAGO AWARDS Bu United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 2.—Twenty University of Chicago football players have been awarded their major Cs; eight earned the modem old English C and five were given monograms for their work in football during this year.

RIVALRY CONTEST SUNDAY J. J. C.s and Southpaws to End City Grid Season at Ball Park. The local pro football season will end with the city championship contest Sunday at Washington Park, between the J. J. C.s and the Southpaws, the two elevens which are conceded to be the logical contenders for the local tii’e honors, since the Ferndale team disbanded before the end of the season. The teams appear evenly matched and a whale of a scrap Is anticipated. If there is any advantage in either’s favor, it goes to the Southpaws by a slight edge on the Ft. Harrison game. Both the title aspirants have played the army team. The Southpaws held the troopers to a scoreless tie. while Manager Canning's grldsters lost to the soldiers by one touchdown. Their is a lure to these city championshlp affairs that always brings the fans out en masse. In years past local grid history records many classic battles for the municipal honors. The Mllitary-Ferndale, the Belmont-Ferndale and the RiversideFerndale contests for the city championship in the last few years have drawn enormous crowds. SUGGESTIONS Grid Changes to Be Proposed by Big Ten. Ttv Times Special , CHICAGO, Dec. 2.

OWNERS MEET IN CHICAGO A. A. Magnates May Raise Player Limit—Usual 168 Card Planned. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 2.—The anual winter meeting of the American Association of Baseball Clubs opened here at noon today. President Thomas. J. Hickey presiding. A schedule of 168 games for 1926 was expected to be adopted during the flrst day's session. A few owners appeared to prefer 164 games, but it was believed tile majority of magnates would vote for the usual campaign of 168 contests. Player Limit Discussed Chief discussion during the twoday session apparently will concern the player limit in the "big minor” organization. The limit last season was eighteen veterans and two rookies, but some owners urge a rule allowing twenty veterans and two rookies. William C. Smith, Sr., president of the Indianapolis team, and Owen Bush, manager, are here attending the session. Bush said he was well satisfied with his club roster with the exception of the pitching and catching departments. Winter Ball Problem Owing to the fact there are many A. A. players participating in winter ball in Florida some of the club owners are in a mood to urge President Hickey to confer with the presidents of the other Class AA circuits (International and Pacific Coast) and try to put through an agreement that would place the ban on AA flayers engaging in winter games. The major leagues deny their players the winter privilege. NOTRE DAME AWARDS Twenty Six Receive Football Letters at Hoosier School.
