Billy Evans ! Says— DIFFERENCE OF OPINION .1 AS football in the past five j~ 11 years become a huge spec- _. I tacle rather than a college sport? A former Dartmouth grid captain. Parker, now an Oxford student, is of that opinion. He says he likes the English game of Rugby better. Parker stresses the point that in American football *Jgy ''US* the player is more 4 •••.$0 than a mere representative of his *'"■ OSt W college, rather than ). I||9 a national celebrl- ) "" sandf y ’ and must strain every effort to keep • \ pace with his reputation. A &|2| No doubt what Parker says is true of the outstanding Evans stars, who constantly are basking in the light of newpaper publicity, players like Grange, Oberlander and others. It becomes a national tragedy when one of these stars errs and thereby loses an Important game. The individual himself suffers most. FAULTS ARE FEW However, for /6ne fault that can be: found with football, the magnivde of the game, scores of good things can be offered in rebuttal. The Immense profits of football have made possible intramural athletics on a large scale, which give to the athlete who hasn't a chance to make the varsity an opportunity to get plenty of healthful exercise and relaxation. In addition, the football profits take care of the deficits that come up in practically every other collegiate sport with the possible exception of track. COACHES REAL MEN mAM against the pessimists who feel that football Is being overdone. On the contrary, I feel that the immense popularity of the game, necessitating huge stadia to take care of the crowds, is doing a great good. I am personally acquainted with most of the leading football coaches of the country. They are a fine lot of fellows, who aside from developing athletes, make real men out of their charges. They are character builders. In a majority of cases real pals to the men who come under their instruction. While the desire to win is always uppermost in the minds of players and coaches, victory is not always possible and football teaches the athletes to. accept the bitter with the sweet. Go down fighting, give your best, and when it’s all over, if defeated, smile. This is the theory of most football coaches. OFFERED IN REBUTTAL The thought of the former Dartmouth captain that college football is being commercialized doesn't hold good in all cases. This is particularly true of his own university One of the big games each fall is the annual ..meeting between Dartmouth and Cornell. On a few occasions it was s.taged in New York and played to capacity business at the Polo Grounds, in the neighborhood of 60,000. This game is a “natural'' for New York. It could be put over annually to big business, yet Dartmouth and Cornell prefer to alternate between the rather isolated towns of Ithaca, N. Y., and Hanover, N. H. No, sir! There is still plenty of tradition back of college football, and always will be.

Butler Tackles Danville Normal’s Surprise Five —Wabash Invades Big Ten. Eyes of Hoosler college basketball fans turn tonight to State teams scheduled to perform on the hardwood. Four games are carded for the evening, Butler journeying to Danville to take on the fast Normal quintet, Earlham going to South Bend to play Notre Dame. Wabash moving on to Evanston to meet Northwestern of the Big Ten and Indiana Central meeting Roso Poly at Terre Haute. The game which probably is causing the most speculation is the But-ler-Danville Normal tilt. Danville, which went through the 1925 season with but one defeat, has practically the same team as last year and already has defeated Vincennes, College of Pharmacy and Franklin. The Pharmacy five failed to score a single poirit, going down, 74-0. Victory Over Franklin Franklin’s defeat attracted more attention and a number of Indianapolis fans are planning on making the trip to Danville. It will be Butler's season opener. Wabash, with a victory over State Normal tucked away, will meet Northwestern in what is to he the Purple's opening contest of the year. From there the Little Giants will entrain for lowa City where they will tangle with the lowa Western Conference five at lowa City, Monday. Earlham at N. D. Earlham, already defeated by De Pauw. will invade Notre Dame territory. The Irish slightly handicapped by the absence of McNally .and Dahman, who were on the coast wjth the football team, defeated Armour Tech in its opener and has hopes of another successful Beason. Indiana Central, defeated In its first game by Franklin, will attempt to wipe out the memory of that game with a victory over Heze Clark’s Rose Poly quintet, which has a victory over N. A. G. U. chalked up.

That may be another reason why I’m so fond of the club.” Jones made one of the greatest spoon shots of his career in a memorable round at the national open at Oakland Hills in 1924 in which he finished second to Cyril Walker. It was at the sixteenth green, a two-shot hole, the second out across a little lake. He pulled his drive to the left, leaving hiifi a long second. The wind was sweeping somewhat in his face. So Jones took his spoon and started his shot forty yards to the left of the with a trace of fade on the ball. It went fairly around the end of the lake. It drifted to the right on the wind.

City Sowling Gossip ' By lx it> ia-e

All of the local boys who left today for the Central States meet nt Chicago are tournament veterans, and some good work cam be expected. In going ovqy the list we cannot recall a man who has had less than five years’ experience, and when it comes to piling up totals this is what counts heavily. In the Wholesale League games Friday night the Van Camp Hardware team downed the Typo Service three times, while the Polk’s Best, Motor Tires and House of Crane were winning two out of three from j M- O’Connor, Zenite Metal and Motive Parts. Pohl of the Polk s Best team went to extremes in his night’s play, scoring 277 pins in his middle and 136 in the last. A case of too much prosperity. The Clly Tru‘t League games resulted in two-fiine wins for the Four Mules and Four Horsemen over the Push ’Em Up and Pin Rasters. Eardman, with a game of 226 in his middle effort, was high for the night.

BIGGEST, YEAR IN HISTORY Farrell Says Professional Boxing Accomplished Many Things in 1926. By Henry L. Farrell, United Presa St alt Correiuoivdent NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—Professional boxing accomplished enough during 1926 to record It as the greatest and most interesting year In the history of the gome. The fighters of today, it may be disputed, are not to be compared with the old timers, but certainly interest in the game and the financial posaibildies that it presents reached heights tills yeur never achieyed in the past. The attention the ring sport commands was shown when Tex Rickard attracted 130,000 into a Philadelphia stadium to see Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney fight for the heavyweight championship and counted receipts of two million dollars. Master Stroke Rickard's master stroke of promotion also will be remembered because of the stories that followed the fi-tftt —that it was not on the tevr-1 that Dempsey had been poisoned by gamblers. These stories are worth only what you think of them. They haven't been proved. The year was important as a, matter of record not only because Dempsey lost the heavyweight title, but because every other champion, with the exception of the bantamweight and flyweight title holder lost or surrendered. Os the champions who started the year on the throne, only Fidel Le Barba, flyweight, and Charley Rosenberg, bantam king, survived. And Rosenberg did nothing to distinguish himself, Tunney defeated Dempsey: Jack Delaney defeated Paul Berlenbach; Tiger Folwers defeated Harry Greb and then lost the middleweight crown to Mickey Walker: Walker lost the welterweight championship to Tete Latzo and then made a record by winning the middleweight crown; Sammy Mandell won the lightweight title from Rocky Kansas and Kid Kaplan retired as the featherweight champion because of weight difficulty. Retnrn to Illinois The return of boxing to Illinois as a legalized sport was a significant event*, and is an example of the strides the game Is making. The death of Harry Greb, who failed to survtv* an operation, provided a sincere black bonier for the record m he was one of the great fighters. Jack Delaney, light heavywefght champion, is admitted to be in j* danger, but he Jins aspirations. Mickey Walker has give Tiger Flowers a return bout for the middleweight title within ninety days. Joe Dundee sacrificed his place as the ranking welterweight challenger when he was knocked out by Eddie Roberts and Kid Kaplan was knocked out in his first bout as a lightweight by Billy Wallace, Charley Rosenberg is matched te meet Bushey Graham for the bantam championship and probably will lose. La Barba fs going to fight Elky Clarice, British champion, for the flyweight title.
