Th'B former heavyweight pugilist wil be 60 in September and Rankin says he Is ready for him.

lllinois Flash Puts Up Mediocre Game; Washington Halfback Brilliant; Tigers Beat Bears SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24 OP) Harold "Red" Grange and his football team, the Chicago Bears met defeat here today at the hands of the San Francisco Tigers, 14 to 9. The Tigers were captained by George Wilson, University of Washington, and all-America half back. The Tigers scored a touchdown in the second period and ono in the fourth. The Hearns scored a field goal In tha third period and a touchdown in tho last but failed to convert.

Between 20,000 and 25,000 persons filled Kczar stadium to watch the individual performances of Grange and George Wilson, University of Washington flash, who played left half back for the San Francisco eleven. There was little comparison, as the sorrel topped wonder of last year's University of Illinois team turned in only a mediocre game, while the flying cleats of Wilson kept the crowd on edge for nearly tho entire game. In every department, until he was injured late In tho final period, Wilson outstripped his rival. The former Washington star carried the I ball fifteen times for a total gain I of 87 yards, while Grange lugged i the oval seven times for 41 yards1 In all. The Tigers, a makeshift team assembled a couple of weeks ago, out- played and outfought the eastern eleven virtually all of the way.

Joe Stcrnaman, diminutive quarterback, stood out amongst the Bears with Grange, Gocbel, end, and Knop, fullback, trailing behind. In addition to Wilson the San Francisco team produced several i stellar performers in Bradshaw, quarterback; Stockton, Fitzke, halfback, and Hailey, captain and center. Two of the Tigers' mainstays, Wilson and Stockton, were injured and forced to retire in the fourth period. Wilson was thrown heavily and injured his head, while Stockton twisted a leg.

Mile I "Soil RAIN PREVENTS WILLS' rVlATCH WITH VLAST0 CAXXES, France, Jan. 2 4 W) Raia and cold wind spoiled the hopes of a horde of enthusiasts who hd gathered at the Metropole hotel courts today to see the final contests in the Metropole tennis tournaments. The -feature, of course, was to have been the strug- 4 WINS; Exact Standing of League Not Yet Announced; Probable That Bulldogs Will Capture Title Albuquerque High leads the city fcholastlc league with an average of .1000, having wen four out of four games. The complete standing of the league to date has not been announced. The schedule has another month to run, and It Is probable from the present dope that the Bulldogs will capture the title.

The biggest upset so far In the schedule occurred Saturday night, when the High school team barely wiggled over the Indians for a 12-10 victory. And It Is altogether likely that if the Indians would have shot from around the foul line, rather than waiting for a closo-up, the score would have been different. Coach Jones, of the Indians, worked miracles with his team since playing Menaul and St. Mary's. The Indians' floorwork was fast, and their defensive good.

Their passing was not always accurate and one or two of the play- ers should have had resin on their hand. But in all the Indians I showed up remarkably well, and proved themselves a strong combination. It Is likely that the confidence they gained by holding the Bulldogs will aid them materially in later games. The Harwood-St. Mary's game was postponed to Tuesday.

CIorb to twenty games remain to be plsyed In the league. BURROWED OUT By playing the Bocky mountain conference champions off their feet, only to lose by a score of 35 to 27 in the last few minutes of play, the Lobo basketball team demonstrated at Colorado college Saturday night that it can furnish formidable opposition for any of tils' conference teams. The Lobos were leading 27 to 28 five minutes before the game ended. The strength of the Colorado college team be Judged by the fact that the night before it played the I.obos it led the St. Joseph's Hillyards, runner-up In the national amateur tournament last year, until well Into the second halt, losing 44 to 30 to a team that lias not been defeated this year and which Is pretty generally conceded to be in a class with the best quintets in the United States.

No doubt, the grueling game with the Hillyards the night before took some of the edge off the Tigers, but any disadvantage on that score was more than balanced by the fact that they were playing on their own court nnd that the I.obos got off the train only about tv. hours before the game. The Tigers also had the advantage of having had several practice games under their belts, whili the Lobos h'-d played only two. Failure to mako in competition the free throws they have been making easily in practice contributed heavily to the, defeat of the Lobos, who n.ade only one free throw good out of seven chances, while the Tigers made three out of ten. Both of the other conference teams the Lobos will meet this week, while considered weaker teams than the Tigers, are by no means to be sneezed at.

The University of Colorado quintet split even with Wyoming on the Wyoming court in Friday's and Saturday's games, wliilo the Greeley Teachers defeated the Denver university team that in turn beat the Colorado Aggies Saturday night. The defeat Colorado gave Wyoming Friday night was the second that team has mot on its home floor since its new gymnasium was hullt last year.

Louis and ISoston under the pressure of emer gencies last year, have drawn important roles for the National league drive of 1928. liob Smith of the Boston Braves, nn infielder who failed at second base only to reach pitching heights late in the season, will enter the coming race as one of the most unusual finds of baseball. Wayland Dean, newly purchased from the Giants by the Phillies, and Bill iSherdel of the Cardinals, hold slm-i llnrly Important roles.

Early In his career Smith, who came to the I liraves from New Orleans of the i Southern league in 1923, was told oy manager Dave Bancroft he' would never make good as an in-fielder.

The firry Detroit loader had his "field day" in contest between tho Tigers and Browns at St.
