sound of the bugle that tomorrow
should set them plunging Into each

their spy glasses fastened on what
they deemed to be the star of vic

oblivion the hopes of their cousins

Defeated only by Penn State after

Outside the gates, waiting to get in,

the West Pointers began frisking
over the gridiron.

Injury To Heard
Responsible For
Coyotes' Defeat
Loss of Thursday's big game to the
' Indians Is attributed by Coyote fol
lowers to an Injury to Joe Heard,
the team's regular right end and
kicker, who was forced from the
game In the third period because of
injuries.
Heard's Injury was sustained only
afew minutes before the team scored
its second touchdown. In conse
quence, one of the linesmen was
called upon to try for the goal from
touchdown and failed, the ball sailing
beneath the cross bar. Had Heard
been in the game. Coyote backers be

made for he has shown remarkable

In the story of the game, appear

failure to kick the second goal cost
the Coyotes the game. The writer,
however, had not noticed that Heard
had been injured and taken from the
game, and knowing that the end was
the regular kicker, supposed that he
had made the try.

Four Eastern Teams

NEW YORK. Nov. 25 Thanksgiv
ing day football clashes left four of
the major league elevens of the East
undefeated this season LaFayette,
Cornell, Pennsylvania State, Wash
ington and Jefferson.
LaFayette finished its season last
Saturday, but the others brought
their campaigns to an end yesterday.
Cornell overwhelmed Pennsylvania,
41 to 0; Penn. State was held to a
scoreless tie by Pittsburgh, and
Washington and Jefferson won from
West Virgin.a, 13 to 0.
Cornell, in its eight victories this
season, was the greatets scoring ma

points to their opponents' 21.
simply tosses the ball to the player
who Is uncovered. Pittsburg worked
this . play successfully five times in
the game, with Syracuse, once for a
touchdown.
Centre received much praise for a
shift play that It used successfully
against Harvard. Reports have it
that the Centre play was simply a
modified Colgate spread. It is a
spread formation from which teams
having a triple threat can use the
pass, running attack or kick to equal
advantage. To stop the shift, the op
position must loosen its defense
which very often proves fatal.
Georgia Tech failed to use its much
advertised shift to any great advan
tage in the game with Penn State. It
is said the Georgia shift is not very
effective unless it is off with a run
ning start. Southern officials,, it
seems, have overlooked this feature in
passing on the play. The very first
timo it was used against Penn, the
Southerners drew a penalty. The ac
tion of the officials was a severe blow
to Georgia, which had been using the
play in that manner. That opening
penalty really spelled defeat for the

What kind of a fellow Is Babe
Ruth?
I have been asked that question
hundreds of times since Babe hogged
the sporting spotlight.
Ruths remarkable ac-illty to hit
home runs has made him the most
discussed individual in the history of
the game. Thousands of fans wonder
what kind of a fellow he really is,
when not engaged in busting " them
over the fence.
No doubt a great many people have
the impression that Ruth feels his
greatness. Nothing could be farther
from the truth. Ruth is a big likable
kid. He has been well named. Babe.
Ruth has never grown up and prob
ably never will. Success on the ball
field has in no way changed him.
Everybody likes him. You Just can't
help it. A little Incident that came
under my observation at the Polo
Grounds last summer, will best an
swer the query:
"What kind of a fellow Is Babe
Ruth?"
I was umpiring In New York at the
time, and as is customary came on
the field about 10 minutes before
fcame time to get ready for the start.
As I neared the bench of the Yank
ees, a youngster about 12 came
through one of the exit gates nearby
and said to me:
"Mr. Evans, would you object to
my taking a picture of Babe Ruth?"
. The youngster was a clean cut
looking boy, well dressed, and carried
what I could see was a very expen
sive kodak. I assured him that I
hadn't the slightest objection, but
that it would be best for him to fake
the matter up with Ruth. The
youngster wasn't very strong for it,
and suggested that I get the permis
sion. I was interested in seeing Just
how Ruth would treat the youngster,
and Insisted that he speak to Babe
about it.' I have knon some stars
who would have ignored the young
ster entirely, but I didn't think Babe

YOUNG ARNOLD WILL

Young Arnold and Midget Macy
will top the first weekly boxing pro
gram to be staged at the Kamona
theater next Monday evening.
Young Arnold claims the bantam
weight championship of Arizona and
Macy comes here from Los Angeles
with claims to the coast title. Anold
has earned an enviable record in
Phoenix, his bout with Tiny Kedfield
of Prescott being considered the best
little scrap ever held in this city.
He is a mixer from the gong and a
clever youngster with a bright fu
ture. Macy has a good record and looks
as good as his record when he dous
the gloves. He will meet Arnold in
a scheduled six round main event on
a 30-round boxing card.
oung Kivers ana Soldier Brown
will meet In a four-round number.
Rivers defeated Brown in the best
bout on the Thanksgiving card at the
Legion arena, and Brown is anxious
to prove that Kivers did not beat him.
The report of the Legion bouts .as
printed in yesterday's Republican
stated that Rivera and Birown fought
a draw which should have been
awarded to Kivers for his aggressive
ness. In Justice to Referee Hegele
the report is corrected, as Referee
Hegelee did give Rivers the decision.
Referee Hegelee has enough troub
les in the ring trying to keep the
fighters working without adding bad
decisions to his record. The Repub
lican hastens to correct the error
and give Referee Hegelee credit for
his decision.
Jim Douglas and Young Romo will
box four rounds and Cactus Brown
and Terrible Busso will step over
four paces of their own.
Ben Turpin and Manuel Portia will
do a four round number and a big
battle royal will round out an eve
ning's entertainment of fisticuffs
that looks like the real thing.
The Ramcna theater will seat close
to 1000 fans and the house is com
fortably heated. Phoenix fight fans
can enjoy their favorite indoor sport
under ideal conditions. The manage
ment has arranged a long card in
order that the fans will receive
plenty of fight in the event the ref

Yankee bench and made known bis

smiled broadly and said, j
"Sure."
That one word from the famous
Babe Ruth caused the boy to smile
almost as broadly as Babe. It also
gave him courage, and he confided
to Babe that he would like to get an
action picture of him making a home
run. Getting off the bench, Ruth
picked out his favorite bat. walked
out in front of the bench, and then
took one of his deadly swings and
held it until the boy had snapped a
couple of pictures.

Spalding Basketball Guide are the
following:
A substitute may cot participate

referee.
The referee Is given power to call

the part of the players or specta

two players the referee and the um

ers are in such positions that they
do not interfere with the Jumpers.
On a court laid out in accordance
with the rules, the entire backboard
is to be considered in bounds, but the
supports are considered out of

An important change lias been
made to the effect that in starting a

Nimrods Report
Duck Hunting In
Valley Very Fine
Duck shooting In the valley Is ex

to the Nimrods who shouldered arms
and Journeyed down the streams yes

The sportsmen report duck shoot

very good and some fine canvasback
and mallard killings were recorded
curing the day.
The sudden cold snap In the north

Quail shooting is still good In the

The popularity of professional
football seems to be on the wane.
A year or two ago it looked as If
the professional game was sure to
go big. A reaction, however, has set
In, which makes it seem that the
public has soured on the professional
"grid" game.
In Cleveland, where the game went
big for a time, interest seems to
have died out to great extent. In
fact the crowds dropped off so badly
that the Cleveland management found
it far more profitable to book games
away from home on a straight guar
antee, than to gamble with the
weather snd the enthusiasm of the
fans.
It is beginning to look as if foot
ball was truly the school and col
lege game. Spirit is what makes
the game so'attractlve from the col
lege standpoint. That spirit is entirely
lacking in the professional gnmes.
This despite the fact that practically
all the leading pro teams are com
posed almost entirely of f"rmer col
lege stars, many of them All-Amerl-can
selections.
A cumber of the former stars who
havo turned "pro" seem to have for
gotten all about the old college spirit.
Instead of playing to the limit of
their endurance, they save them
selves at every opportunity, and
take few if any chances. It is only
natural that any sport in wbieii
there is a decided lack of effort and
interest by those taking part, should
sooner or later suffer as a resulL
That tells the story of professional
football.

playing a game of football. It was

that State needed a stall m. end
that help from them was badly

INVITED TO PHOENIX
FOE FOOTBALL GAME x
IF C. I. F.
All hope for a post-season football
game for the Phoenix High school
team now rests with the California
Interscholastic Football association
the power that controls high school
football on the coast.
Ralph Millard formerly of The Re .
publican staff and now a resident of
Long Beach. California, in a letter
to "PIdge" Pinney explains the con-
ditions existing on the coast. The
following paragraph from Mr. Mill
ard's letters carries the etory:
"I interviewed the principal of the
high school, then the president of ,
the board of education, then the su
perintendent of schools, then Coach
Kienholtz and I took it tip with the
C. I. F. having found that all others
concerned were agreeable and the C.
I. F. stated that the state council
of the C. I. F. had passed that "No
high school in California can play
with out-of-the-state teams UNTIIj
they have completed all their eched- '
uled games in the C. I. V. seTIes AND
then applied for permission to the
state council to play said game."
This ruling was made when San
J3iego applied for a similar game
OVIIIO llllltg. Blllt-V..
In order to book a game with a
coast team Phoenix high must first
get permission from the C. L F. be
fore Inviting a conference team. If
Long Beach wished to arrange a
game in Phoenix the 'request would ,
have to come through the California
school.
Mr. Millard makes It plain In his
letter that Long Beach is anxious Jo
play in Phoenix, but the school ath
letic board does not care to make any i
move that might force them out of
the conference.
When the conditions were mads
clear Coach Robinson immediately
wired the president of the C. I. F. re
questing that permission be granted
Long Beach to arrange an out of
town game if the invitation is ex
tended for the Phoenix game. If the
C. L F. grants the request Coach
Robinson will invite Long Beach to
play Phoenix High in this city.
The Coyote team has completed a
very successful season and the ath
letic board of the Phoenix Union
High school feels that the boys are
entitled to post-season trip to San
Diego, but the directors and Coach
Robinson prefer a I'hoenix game with
Long Beach to give the local fans
the benefit of the game after the
support accorded the team this year.
If the game is arranged it will give
the fans an opportunity to see Coach
Robinson's Wonder Team in action
once more before disbanding.
No action will be takn toward In
viting Long Beach until word is re
ceived from the C. I. F.
