2) Death Takes Many Leaders in Sports During Last Year NEW YORK, Dec. 26 (By Associated Press.) Death took many prominent figures from the of. sports in 1925, chief among them being Christy Mathewson, beloved "Big Six" of baseball, 'and Walter Camp, "father of football." i These two men were dominant in separate fields of athletic interest, Mathewson having run the whole gamut of diamond fame -from playing star to major league club presidency. Camp long was an outstanding factor in the development of the gridiron sport, in addition to which he gave to it an unique institution in ths All-American team. Both of these men died suddenly and at somewhat dramatic moments.

Camp passed away in his hotel room in New York while his associates were waiting for him to attend a meeting of the Football Rules committee. Mathewson died at Saranac Lake. N. as the, world series opened in Pittsburgh, a date marking the twentieth anniversary of the 1905 championship games in which Mathewson achieved his greatest fame as a pitcher. Baseball ranks particularly were hard hit by death during the year.

The success of the university teams and that of the Tuosoi; high school football team have dons much to balance the declining In amateur and semi-professional sports in the city itself. FOOTBALL AT THE UN1VER-sity was maintained at the high standard set in the past, the Wildcats losing only to some of the better teams on the Pacific coast despite the extreme light ness of tiie entire teum and the fact that fully half the first siring men were severely crip pied throughout the season.

The unofficial district championship Of Arizona. New Mexico and Western Texas was practically clinched when the Cats defeated New and New Mexico Aggies by high scores, without losing to any team in the dis trict. The climax of the season cumo In the annual home-coming game when the Cats held the powerful Nevada eleven to scoreless tie in one of the great- est exhibitions of defensive playing ever seen on a western gridiron. THE BADGERS AT, THE TUC-son high school proved even better from a comparative stand point by walking away from all opposition in the southern part of the state, and holding the Phoenix Coyotes, champions of the southwest, to a 13 to 7 score. Prospects for a utate championship team during the next year look even better with most of the big stars back in uniform.

BASEBALL THE BASKKAI.L- TEAM AT THE university did much during the spring months to make up lor the absence of a town team, although lack of a suitable diamond kept the national game out of the city (luring ihe summer and fall. While- other in the state were supporting strong profes- sionul teams, Tucson was forced to depend upon semi-professional organizations such as the Southern Pacific lines, the Steinfekl team and the Azleeas. The Az-U'fti organization won the Junior championship of Southern Arizona, and oefeated many senior teams from other Arizona towns. AT THE UNIVERSITY THE baseballers continued to win championships, defeated tteirold rivals in Southern California, and cleaning up on everything in Arizona and New Mexico. Under the leadership of Coach McKale the team is expected to nue its record in 1926.

BOXING THE LAST YEAR 11 5 BEEN A varied one for boxing. Three promoters during that time have attempted to get the fight game on a. permanent basis, but lack of a proper arena and general apathy has handicapped them severely. Nate Cloldbaum, who promoted fightft at Clearwater for several months was forced out when the arena burned down and was followed by W. R.

Parmer, who staged one fight. Bob Man-dell then took up the managerial reins, and held lour cards, all full of action, but lacking enough spectators to make the venture profitable. Louis Ghema, however, plans to make his first try on January 6 when 1 rankle Ara- gon meets Allen Whitlow, state featherweight champion, here. 1 THE BIGGEST CARD OF THE year came on Labor day when Pat Tucson aspirant for Jack Dempsey's crown, beat Bob Roper in a ten-round bout, Although Pat won his fight his margin of victory was small and Spider Kelly, his manager, decided to put him through a severe grind in the smaller clubs of the coast before boosting 'him into the best company.

Several local youngsters have tried to take their pluces, but Kid King of the University of Arizona and Shufflin' Kid Logan have gained most favor among the local fans. The rise of Mickey Obregon to the place where Spider Kelly took him for a tour of the Pacific coast marked the entry of Arizona Into the flyweight ranks 1 the country. BASKETBALL IN TUCSON WAS hampered during the last year by lack of proper courts the Mime handicap that has kept other sports out of the city.

(By As- sociated Press) Though ma-ked by a return to somewhat normal pace in the scope of athletic competition, by comparison with the unusual activity of the previous two annual campaigns, the year, 1925 witnessed sontlnu-ed growth of popular interest, particularly in baseball, football and track, besides an unusual epidemic of individually brilliant performances and a significant trend in the development of professional sports.

Following a year of sensational conquest abroad on Olympic battlefields, it was a natural reaction to have the major conflicts of 15)25 concentrated on native grounds. There was sufficient international competition to. add spice to the campaign, and here the United States, carried away the bulk of honors in spite of an apparent renaissance in the caliber of British opposition, but the contests of chief interest Were singed on home soil.

COLLEGE CHAMP i The best football team in the country? I beg to pass on that one. The best football team is largely a matter of where you happen to reside, It's a question to start an argument. For the firot.

time in years the sectional supremacy in football is well defined. Only in the South is there a real dispute. The East is overwhelmingly for Dartmouth, while the West favors Michigan. Washington holds the coast honors, while Alabama and Tulane are the choice of the South. Alabama was voted the Pickens trophy by a committee of "southern newspaper men.

That award is equivalent to being named the champion. The very fine record made by Tulane, however, has won for that eleven a host of admirers, who feel Tulane has an equal claim to the routhern honors. Tulane, you will remember, defeated 18-7, while Michigan was beaten, 3-2, by the Evanston team. But you musn't take football figures too seriously. TOUGH BREAK Hail not Michigan been beaten by Northwestern, a majority of the experts, the West in particular, would have awarded the honor of being rated the best team In the country to' the Wolverines.

coach Melding Yost Bays it is easily the best team he ever handled. Yost, by the way, has turned out some remarkable foot bull machines, the 1901' model being a very classy affair. Michigan's lone defeat was staged on a tieia unnt for even football, than can be played with almost any kind of a setting. Northwestern, the victor, faced the same conditions. That one reverse, even though suffered under most unfavorable conditions, is going to cause a majority of the football critics to lean to Dartmouth.

The expert who tries to rank Dartmouth, Tulane, Michigan, Washington and Alabama is sure courting trouble. A dead heat, all bets off, would be a wise decision. Walter Camp's All-America se- lections were usually the last toj appear, as a rule late In Decern-' ber. Prior to the publication of I Camp's teams. other football (writers took a whirl at the game.

Nothing else on the calendar quite matched the startling running of Nurmi in his first indoor performance in America at Madison Square Garden, when he shattered three world's records to beat the pick of his American rivals in two races, the startling exhibition of Grange in putting to rout a hitherto unbeaten Pennsylvania eleven on Franklin Field with as great a demonstration, of broken field running as any gridiron ever witnessed. Sensational These twin performances 'were all the more noteworthy because they were made under handicaps and against heavy odds.

Grange made football history on a muddy i field against one oX the east's greatest defensive teams and be-' fore crowd which came there in a skeptical mood and left marveling at his prowess.
