The Blues, representing Blues of football are holding the prestige over tho Flying Aces, composed for a large part of members of the well-known Thorn grid team, insofar as the athletic honors of the two sections are concerned.

Aniong this year's victims of the Aces are the 13 Club, Robart and the Harmony club. The members of the Aces' team have avowedly determined to make supreme efforts to add the Blues to their list of wins. Tonight's game will be called promptly at 7:30 o'clock by a competent official.

While Michigan football men are forgetting the game as rapidly as possible, and are being urged to make touchdowns in the semester examinations that follow the holidays, the coaches, in addition talking at football dinners throughout Michigan and nearby states, have been busy thinking of next year's team. At present the coaches have a list of about 100 men, and are adding to his constantly in an effort to get the name of every, man who might be a candidate for next year's squad. Some time- in the next six weeks, all men considered as possibilities for next year's squad will be asked to meet.

Jack Kearns, manager of the tie- holder said today. Furthermore, Kearns added he would insist on 1200,000 as Walker's share of the purse.

"It cost us J18.000 to win the title because of the agreement we were forced -to sign guaranteeing Flowers $65,000 if he lost. Noiv that we have the championship, we will do some of the dictating ourselves." Meanwhile Walker expects to engage some less dangerous opponents and will invade the PaVific coast after the first of the year for two or three contests, returning to Chicago to box in February.

Both clubs were forced Into a punting duel between Hamer of the and Jess of the Maroons, with neither having a noticeable advantage except when one had the stiff northwest breeze to his back. Philadelphia had the only real nhance to score. Both came In quick succession In the first half. Once with the ball on Pottsville's 3-yard line, a penalty for holding ruined the Jackets' hopes fr a touchdown. Hamer then tried a placement field goal.

The Parelli-Brown match was a whirlwind one, both men showing great skill and strength, as well as ability. Both men stood plenty of punishment and each gave plenty to to the other. Kilonis threw Aguayo in the first fall. That was the first time that the Mexican had ever been thrown. The Mexican retaliated in the second by hrowing Kilonis so hard that he was still unconscious at the end of the 10 minutes rest period.

Parelli threw his opponent in 15 minutes in the first fall, throwing him five times with a headlock and then holding him down with the lock and a body hold. The second fall lasted J8 minutes, Brown being. forced to give up Parelli got a leg split on him. Kilonis dropped the Mexican in 40 minutes and 30 seconds for the first fall, using a toe hold and a scissors on his head. The Mexican took the second fall, throwing Kilonis so heavily, using a body hold that the other 'was still listening to the Dirdies when time was called for the third fall.

The referee gave the match to Aguayo, along with a trophy belt, won in England by Kilonis. The belt staked against Aguayo's Mexican' champion belt. Carl Zbyszko, young Polish star, a student at St. John's, university won from Cyclone Bull, in" 22 minutes. He put the other down with a headlock at the end of a.

fast and furious fall. Aguayo defeated Jack Herman on Saturday night in Transylvania hall in Indiana Harbor, in a fast match. The Mexican took the first fall in 21 minutes and 45 seconds, using a reversed head lock and body hold, shaking Herman's shoulders to the floor. The Mexican -used headlocks to throw his man three times and then held him down Vlth a headlock and a body scissors, to take the second fall in 2 minutes and 10 seconds. John Kilonis won from Bill Martin, throwing him in 25 minutes for the first fall, using a double wrist lock and scissors on his arm.

He took the second fall in 8 minutes with a hammerlock and scissors on his head. PURPLE DEFEATS DRAKE, 31 TO 25 Waldo Fisher, with a supporting cast wnose periormance was spoiiy at best, took the bark out of the Drake Bulldog Saturday and gave the Northwestern five a 31 to 25 triumph before 3,200 fans gathered in Patten gymnasium. It was the Purple's first triumph in two starts and was Drake's first game. Northwestern's fumbling and erratic play was matched by the Inability of the Des Moines team to work the ball down the floor. The invaders played the entire game with four and sometimes five men in'their own territory.

Only a half dozen times did they try shots twenty feet of their basket and these were followups and but one counted. NOTRE DAME CONQUERS GOPHERS MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 20 Making nine of eleven free throws in the second half helped Notre Dame down Minnesota here Saturday night, 24 to 19. Minnesota outplayed the- Notre Dame team during the first half, which ended 12 to 7 in the Gophers' favor. In the second half Coach Keogan's team played a tight defensive game, holding the Gophers to seven points.

VALPARAISO DEFEATS CRANE COLLEGE, 24-23 VALPARAISO, Dec. 20 Valparaiso University defeated Crane College, Chicago, in close game here Saturday night, 24 to 23. The locals held a commanding lead, 19 to 8, at half, but Crane gradually sliced the margin In the last period. Th visitors missed' eleven chances at; free throws. Doran starred for Val- paraiso, and Kaminsky for Crane The outfielders who faded away In the six Intervening years are, Joe Evans (utility man also), Jack Gra-ney, Elmer Smith and Joe Wood (who played the outfield although signed as a pitcher.) The catching, squad boasted Les Nunamaker, Chct Thomas and Steve O'Xeil, now gone.

The inflelders on the team Included, in addition to Sewell, Harry Lunte, Larry Gardner, Will Wafnb-ganss and Ray Chapman. Most of these who drifted away one by one, are out of the big show now. Joe Wood Is a college baseball coach, Joe Evans Is a doctor, Larry Gardner managed Ashevllle In South Atlantic league last season and did good Job. Graney is In the automobile business. Jim Bagby is In the minors.

The Athletics have sent Wambganss to Kansas City. Walter Mails, whose brilliant pitching 'something like six straight wins eased the Indians into their pennant has been in and out of the big show since. CHOICE TO IN GO TONIGHT Manager Pete Reilly for the Indoor season among heavyweights, and If the Bridgeport favorite exhibits abll-ityity which warrants the move, Reilly will continue his campaign to establish Delaney as a formidable rival of Gene Tunney, world's heavyweight champion. "A fighter who will come to Delaney all the time and who has a good left hook gives Delaney plenty of trouble," said Duffy. "Gorman has a good left hand, he tears into an opponent, as was shown In his bout with Harry Persson, and he will have the added advantage of being heavier and stronger than Delaney." In addition to the Dclaney-Gorman out, Promoter Humbert J.

Fugaiy will serve the customers with three more tens and one four round battle. Charley Phil Rosenberg, bantam king, will swap punches with Pete Mack. Andy Divodi, slashing welterweight, will have it out-with Jack McFariand, sturdy Newark lad, and Johnny Green ill mix with Giovanni Salerno in the other ten rounders. most of the publicity. But last winter the Irish cagers won nineteen of twenty games.

Including contest from four Big Ten foes. And with Conroy, the guard who was placed on the all-western team as McCon-nell's running mate; Johnny Nyikos, all-western center; Dahlman, a guard on the third all-western team, and McXally, a third year forward, the Notre Dame team will give the Iowans another dazzling example of Hoosier basket ball. Serious drills all week have whipped the Iowa team Into better shape to combat the formidable Irish. Stressing basket shooting and offensive plays. Coach Barry has been molding a scoring machine which Aeill take some of the -strain of tight guarding off McConnell and Hogan.

The rapid-scoring Nyikos, center, must be held impotent if the Hawk-eyes are to win. A battle of all-western men will probably result for the shadow of Nyikos may oe McConnell. Even the name of the star conjures up galling memories the mind of Coach Barry for, in 1923, a brother of Nyikos on the Indiana university team shot the basket which beat the Hawkeyes out of a clear Big Ten title. Iowa has never beaten Notre Dame on the court. The score was 24-23 four years ago and 17-16 last winter.

A French court has just settled suit filed in the year 137,2. Steve Ocelli, canned by the Indians, Red Sox and Yanks, has come back to catch for the St. Louis Browns. Stanley Coveleskle, called through by the Indians, has had -two good years with the Washington Senators. But George Burns, trudging along with the Indians, got tired of the monotony of this last season and went out and grabbed "himself the world's record for socking out two base hits.

Uhle helped lift the Indians from second division to the runner-up post by leading the league In victories won. Joey Sewell. he of the diminutive stature and foghorn voice, played his usual brilliant game at short. And Charlie Jamieson, thrown in "to boot" a long time ago In a trade between the Athletics and Mackmen, played brilliantly In left field. He's still one of the great ball hawkns of the-game when he's going good.

So these four members of the all-star cast of 1920 remain. Just what they'll do under a new leader remains to be seen. They worked well for Speaker. CHANNEL SWIM TO BE STARTED AT 2 P. M.
