Still Practices
Behind Guards
PASADENA, Cal., Dec. 30 TAP)
—Two field generals of football
drilled their teams in widely dif
fer ent fashion here today for the
Rose Bowl clash New Year’s day
between the University of Alaba
ma and Stanford university, rep
resenting respectively the depart
ment of the east and west which
will decide the country's mythical
championship.
Coach Wallace Wade, two time
winner of the right to carry the
flag of the east at the annual
Tournament of Roses football clas
sic, drove his men through hard
scrimmage in the Arroyo gridiron,
while “Pop” Warner, coaching the
Red Shirts from Palo Alto, took
his western champions to Eagle
Rock for a mild hut snappy signal
drill.
The Cardinals, with Hank Mill
age spouting signals, scampered
about Occidental college field in
their silk pants for a time and then
engaged in Warner’s systematic
Retting up exercises. Eli Post got
the most action in the backfield
general’s’ position, however, and it
was expected he would direct the
opening skirmish against the
Crimson Tide. Walker, Shipkey,
Poulson, Harris, Swan, Robesky,
McCreery, Hyland, Hoffman and
Bogue likely will finish out the
Red squad which takes the brunt
of the battle.
“Biff” Hoffman, reversing artist

hall lower and faster, sports ‘Crit

kicking faster and farther and fills
the triple threat bill almost to per

Depest secrecy surrounded the
work of the Tide. “Sherlock”

and expected to play tile pivot sta

whose use of the bow and arrow in
chase of big game has made him
internationally famous, has again

ol well trained dogs, seeking
mountain lions.
Graham and Chester left no word
in the city regarding their exact
destination, but it was understood
they were to go to the lower Rin

Graham, under Chester’s guidance,
managed to obtain several good

NEW YORK. Dec. 3ft (AP)—The
most attractive offer for a display

bout. Gene Tunney said today.
After a conference with Humbert

said that Fugazy had made him a

some time," Tunney added, explain

renew it as the. champion was about
to leave for St. Lords on the first
leg of a vaudeville tour that will
keep him away from New York un

“Fug&zy’s offer was the first con
crete one I have had,” the title
holder continued. “He knows as
well as I that I am after the best
offer. There was nothing said in
our talk about an opponent. That
will he a matter for the promoter
to decide, and, of course, I don’t
care who the man selected to meet
me shall be. All I want is that he
be the best man.”
The champion continued, "how
ever, I will frankly admit that I
look for other promoters to make
me offers in a week or two. There
are two leading promoters in the
East but there are other promoters
elsewhere and some of them may
approach me.
