The Dorizas Finds He Was Much Too Gentle -11 -!!- -::- -:II-- '''' Indian Opponent Didn t Reciprocate BY FRANK NEW YORK, Nov. 5. "The Rever sal, or Changing from a Lamb to a Lion" ought to be the title of this squib which concerns Mike Dori zas who footballs for and gets his book knowledge at the University of Pennsylvania-Mike is a Greek and he's a strong Greek. Mike busted all kinds of lift ing records, weight throwing records and strong man records at Pennsylvania and everybody thought that Mike could make a vaiuaDie lootDaiier. -Hike gave the game the up and down a year or so ago, and decided that he didn't care much about it However, extreme pressure was brought to bear upon Mike this year and at last, Mike Jumped into the mole skins, was put through a course of stunts and handed a football diploma which entitled him to a regular Job on the Pennsylvania line. ' Mike nearly squashed a couple of his foemen during the early games this year when Pennsylvania pitted against some of the smaller elevens. Mike, with his tremendous strength, rode roughshod over his rivals whenever rough shod riding was required. He bunged up a couple of foes and It wounded his tender feelings. "Wanted to Back Ont. "Looka here" said Mike some weeks ago to Capt Journeay. "My being in the game isn't a square deal for those other fellows. fm so darned strong that I hurt the other fellows and I do not want to hurt anybody. Guess I'd better quit" "Nix on your quitting" remarked the Pennsy captain. "Never mind about hurting the other fellows. This isn't a game of ping-pong. When you hit the line hit it and hit it hard. Your Job is to make holes in the line so some of our halfbacks can get through. You go and make those holes, Mike." Mike again demurred. "Gosh, it Isn't fair to those other fel lows" he said "I might bust their bones with one Jolt" "Take a chance, Mike; take a chance" said Journeay. Well, Mike continued in the game, but Mike wasn't the same Mike of early in mo scosun. .Mine snowed too much gentleness In the game. Mike made openings for his backfield men when ever called upon to do so, but when he Racing At New Orleans Is Revived -::- ;j: :j: V: .j. Hot Stove Baseball League Is Busy BY BERT E.

Business men or i.1 Paso subscribed $350 towards the prize money; Douglas, $100; Tucson. $100; Phoenix, $250; Florence, $25; Tempe, $25 and Chandler, $25. Lordsburg and Deming have prom ised $25 each. An entrance fee of $15 was charged the riders and $20 for post entries. Four El PasonDfl Entered. Four El Pasoans are entered In the race and each one has made fas time on the trial spins to Phoenix. They are George Ashley, Indian; Paul F. Keating. Thor; Oscar Fegan, Tale, and J. G. Oschsner, a Thor. M. S. Graves of Ysleta will pilot his Indian in the event. The race will be run under the rules of the Federation or American Motor cyclists. The letter of instructions to Mr. Keating, and officials of El Paso who will start tne race in part follows The F. A. M. does not Dlace anv re. striction as to the horsepower or dis placement on races if this kind, so riders can use whatever machine they desire. Puree In Deposited A. L. Moore, president of the Phoenix board of trade, has been named the stakeholder of the race, and the purse 13 now tieposneo. in ni3 name at a Phoenix bank. Mr. Moore succeeded J. M. Ormsby, who was chosen as the stakeholder but who has since left Phoenix for California. A telegram received by the local officials Thursday morning stated that Ellie Wilson of Phoenix may be a post entrant He recently injured his foot and his physician advised him not to compete, but since that time the in jury has almost entirely healed. Bonds Good, Says linker. E. G. Baker, who has just returned from a trial trip to Phoenix, in speak ing of the race, said: "The course to Phoenix Is in very good condition and fast time will be made by the winning macnines unless rain xaiis. a neavy rainfall would greatly retard the driv ers, especially in the boggy and sandy parts of the course. The course throucrh the Animas bog in New Mexico is now heavy and rain would make It difficult for a motorcycle to traverse. A number of good riders are entered and the race should prove the most exciting motorcycle event ever held in the west" ' Th Ariezona racers have all arrived in El Paso, with the exception of "Wil son of Phoenix. If he enters he will arrive Thursday evening by rail. Much interest is being taken in Phoenix over this first race. A like event has been run annually from Pan Diego to Phoenix for several years. It attracts almost as much attention on the oeast as does the Los Angeles-Phoenix automobile race. RINEHART WILL REFEREE RACE, REDEWILL AND CONWAY JUDGES Phoenix, Ariz. Nov. 5. Robert H. Rinehart. of El Paso, will act as ref eree for the Phoenix auto race. George Purdv Bullard has appointed Dr. Fran cis H. Hedewill and E. Power Conway as Judges, with M. A. Patton as chler timer at this end. Governor George Hunt Is referee for the race from Los Angeles, while Pow er Conway and M. X Cunningham will act as judges and W. W. Catlin as timer. The Los Angeles race officials will also serve for the track races Thursday, November 12. G. JlEMiE. did he lifted his rival out of position and then asked his foe to "pardon me, old chap." And then came the Carlisle game. Mike found himself opposed to Busch, the deposed captain of the Indian eleven. Busch didn't size up as any more powerful in Mike's eyes than did some of the other foes against whom Mike had been pitted and Mike, during one of the opening plays, attempted to shoulder Mr. Busch out of the way in stead of ramming Into Mr. Busch just about as hard as he could ram. Mr. Busch was very much surprised at Mike's early conduct He couldn't quite "make" Mike. He puzzled over it for a few minutes, trying to figure out just what Mike was trying to spring on him. Mr. Busch It may be stated, didn't know that Mike's actions were Influenced by a tender regard for the physical welfare of his foes. He thought it was some trick Mike was attempting. He failed to figure it out and dismissing the question from his mind, he set about playing football the way that football should be played. "What Busch Did. Well, on Monday following the Penn-sy-Carlisle game, a modern Hercules was noticed limping across the Pennsy campus. He wore a huge bandage over his head, his eyes were black and blue, the flesh around them was so swollen that It almost blotted out the sight There was huge gash on the fore head of this modern Hercutes, there were bruises on his bodv. there were aches and pains in every joint and one knee was so swollen that It made walk ing a laborious task. "What's that fellow" queried a spec tator. "Mike Dorizas" answered a student "Mike, did you say? It doesn't look like MIRe." "No, it doesn't, but it's Mike just the same. I was in the dressing room a little while ago and I know that it's Mike because I was close enough to hear Mike's voice and the voice came forom the same fellow you seo doing that limping." "Street car hit MlkeT "No, a fellow named Busch did if In conclusion it may be stated that just as soon as Mike returns to normal Mike Is going back at footballing, and it may be added that the very next gent that Mike opposes will run the risk of going to the hospital for six months or so.
