GEORGE HUFF SITE RALLY thousands of young and old In the United States are hoping fervently that George Huff, athletic director of the University of Illinois, can pull through his critical illness in London, England. There was a note of encouragement In the gloom this afternoon when cabled dispatches said he was slightly improved. Huff will put up a battle. He’s that sort. The Illinois U. athletic head is a man "with a vision—art outstanding figure in American sport. He saw far into the future while others could not look beyond their noses. He developed the physical education department at Illinois into a dignified, vital part of the University. Not only were his athletic teams first many, many many times, but George Huff was first with many far-reaching ideas. His influence on collegiate sport has aided in Its remarkable development. In 1914 Huff established the first summer school for coaches of its type in this country. In 1919 he founded the four•ear course in athletic coaching hd physical welfare, also the first of its kind. Since then others have followed his lead. Sport For All Director Huff also was a pioneer in establishing intra-mural athletics —sport for all, not only the Hnff is a kindly man, and he has cheered on many a discouraged youth. The coaches get very close to those in their charge, much closer than the professors, usually—and the ■ good Huff has done is hard to estimate. The University of Illinois furnishes the following information concerning him: George Huff was born on a farm at Champaign, 111., on June 11, 1872. He started his studies at thp University of Illinois at the age of 15 in 1887. Baseball was his first and favorite sport and he was a member of the university teams of 1889, 1890, 1891 and 1893. He was captain and manager in 1891 and 1893. Goes to Dartmouth In 1890 he played or the first football team at Illinois and again to 1892. In the fall of 1893 he went East to attend Dartmouth and study medicine. He immediately won a. regular position on the Dartmouth football team and was elected captain of the baseball team. In 1895 he returned to the university as assistant director of and coach of athletic teams, becoming director of athletics in 1901. In 1924, with the establishing of more extensive programs of physical education and athletics, he was appointed director of physical welfare. Although he coached football for several years, he soon relinquished this work, but remained as baseball coach for twenty-four years, In which time his teams won eleven championships and tied for another. Illinois’ pre-eminence in baseball became traditional. In 1902 his team went East to beat Princeton, Yale, West Point and Pennsylvania, losing only to Harvard. In 1910 his team won every game It played.
“Discovers” Speaker In his earlier years Huff during’ the summer scouted for the Chicago Cubs, and later for the Boston Red Sox. His greatest achievement was the discovery of Tris Speaker in Texas after the league had been combed by many other scouts. In 1907 Huff left the university to become manager of the Boston American League baseball team, this being only one of many offers which had been made to him to enter professional baseball as a manager. Conditions at Boston rapidly proved i unsatisfactory and within a short time he asked to be relieved and returned to the university. In 1920 Huff retired from acKve coaching to give his entire me to administration of the department. He was successful in discovering and holding high class coaches and the Illinois staff is conceded to be one of the strongest and best-rounded in the country. His crowning achievement was the memorial stadium. He conceived the idea and dared to dream of the great structure. There were other outstanding figures in the campaign—-notably Bob Zuppke’s —but his dominating personality was the one great inspiration which led alumni and students to subscribe two million dollars. ** * , It Is said that the “wise money” is on Delaney in his fight tonight with Berlenbach. Every so often tho gentry who are supposed to know are wrong —but only very rarely. The “wise money” is down on the challenger. There is likely to be anew light heavyweight champion tonight. i* * * - TWO OF A KIND mT just occurs to us that America has two champions of which the country can be proud. Both have returned from Europe within the past few days. They are Bobby Jones, golfer extraordinary, and Helen Wills, second ranking woman tennis player in the world. Both are modest, well-bred and sportsmanlike. They really want opponents to have an “even break” and do not care for any advantage gained by legitimate “tricks of the jHade." Both are fighters and confident of their owfi ability,. yet never boastful or over-hearing. Their's Is a quiet strength with real character behind it all.

Battles In Coloneltown Today and Friday—Rivals Play Here Saturday. - By Eddie Ash Ownie Bush piloted his Indians to Louisville early this morning where a two-game series was to be opened this afternoon with the league leaders. There will be a pennant raising down there Friday with Judge Landis, commissioner of baseball, and T. J. Hickey, A. A. proxy, acting as special guests to help boost thq occasion. Carmen Hill was slated for Tribe mound duty today and Speece or Wlsner will get the assignment Friday. N Silver Anniversary The rival clubs will come to Indianapolis Saturday to play that day and Sunday. Landis and.Hickey will view the Saturday struggle here on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the American Association. Louisville rooters are making big plans to invade Indianapolis Sunday and shout for their .Colonels and it is said about 2,000 fans will be up from the Derby city. Secretary Clauer of the Indians said today he expects the largest crowd of the season at Washington Park, Sunday. 514 Games Behind The Tribesmen were five and onehalf games back of the leading Colonels previous to today’s conflict and four games below the second-place Brewers. Indians and Colonels have met thirteen times this season and the Kentuckians have oaptured ten of the battles. Only one game was played in the A. A. Wednesday, Minneapolis downing the Saints, 6 to 1. Middleton allowed only five hits. Pat Duncan drove out his seventeenth home run of the season. It is said Owner Borchert of the Brewers already has promised “first call’’ on Outfielder Shulte to two major clubs —Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Browns. But Otto cares not what other people think of his promises. Any way to win ball games is Borchert’s slogan. The Brewers obtained Second Baseman Beck from the Cubs when they were in dire need of a good inflelder, and they obtained Pitchers Jonnard and Robertson from the Browns when they were up against it for right-handed pitchers. When a club has a young .405 slitter on Its roster it’s an easy matter to obtain favors from the majors. The Dallas club of the Texas League has presented a case to Secretary Farrell of the national board of arbitration in which Dallas asserts Ossie Orwoll of the Brewers agreed to join that club two years before he left college. Orwoll Is the player who joined Milwaukee as an putflelder and became a star southpaw pitcher. The Toledo game at Louisville, Tuesday was postponed by rain, Wednesday’s had been played as part of a double header Sunday, This left Wednesday open, but did the Colonel officials play Tuesday’s postponement, Wednesday? No! The Louisville pitchers had been going badly and Manager Meyer decided to rest his staff for the Indian series. Manager McGraw of the New York Giants was an Indianapolis visitor, Wednesday. He was accompanied by Dlclc Klnsella, scout. They came up from Louisville, where they went to glimpse the playing of Shortstop Woody English of Toledo. McGraw and Kinsella stopped here for a chat with Owner Smith of the Indians and left for Pittsburgh, Wednesday night. English’s age is 20, and hJ> broke in last Reason off the lots of Newark, Ohio. He has displayed astonishing improvement. BUSE WINS ELKS’ SHOOT Hoosier From Hammond Breaks 100 Targets to Cop Honors. Bu United Press CHICAGO, July 15.—A.

DELANEY MADE SLIGHT FAVORITE OVER CHAMP By Henry L. Farrell United Press Staff Correspondent . NEW YORK, July 15.—Science against the sock, a subject as widely debated as undecided as the ancient arguments about brain against brawn and age against youth, will be put to a test before a crowd of about 45,000 spectators tonight when Paul Berlenbach, the reformed wrestler, and Jack Delaney, the French-Canadian sharpshooter, meet for the world’s light heavyweight championship at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn.
Humbert Fugazy, who is promoting fight, said today that the receipts would reach $400,000, from which Berlenbach probably will receive a cut of about $125,000 as the champion And Delaney about $35,000 as the challenger. Ticket speculators, finding the demand for choice seats far in excess of the supply, cashed In handsomely. They were asking—arffl getting—sloo and more for $27.60 seats within the first ten rows. Delaney, because of the knockout he scored over Berlenbach about three years ago, the report of examining physicians that he in much better physical condition than he was when Berlengach outpointed him on their second meeting, and the dope that his boxing skill will overcome the devastating punches of the champion, was 6-to-5 favorite in the betting. But there was plenty of Berlenbach money in the market. Betting commifesioners. of wide experience, estimated that more than fSOO.OOO would change hands

on the fight and they said that no important fight in the last ten years had brought out such an even distribution of opinions. While practically all of the critics have picked Delaney as the winner, the writer is inclined to string along with Berlenbach. The champion Is far more experienced than he was when he wae knocked out the first time by Delaney and he 'has had more work against harder opponents since he won the second fight. Those who favor Delaney base their opinions largely upon the admitted fact that Berlenbach is easy to reach with a right-hand punch and that the challenger has one of the fastest and most accurate right hands in the ring today. The question of weight may have something to do with it. Delaney probably will be at a natural fighting weight of about 172 pounds and will be strong at the weight. Berenbach will have to dry out to make 175 pounds and it may weaken him and make him sluggish.
