SEPTEMBER 22, 1923 I j-Ah i Pomona Team Rated as Poten tialty Powerful as It Shapes Up for 1929 Grid Yeai MUCH DEPENDS STANFORD BOASTS BEST SCHEDULE IN BIG FOUR CALTECH LOSES-TO TOWN CLU JOSEPHINE McKIM HAS 'TP Champion Slill Retains Femininity 4 MR. FRED STURDY, the talL lean Los Angeles boy who took up pole vaulting at Yale where Sabin Carr left off, is the guest conductor of this column today. Mr. Sturdy writes front Norrkoplng, Sweden, to give his readers' details of a trip which' he and other, star track and field athletes of this country took abroad a trip which carried them into competition In Germany, Sweden and Finland.

In case his readers have forgotten the feats of the slim boy of the pleasant disposition, the main ones are recited here: lie tied with Williams of Southern California and Ed- monds of Stanford for first place in the I.C-AjLAjI meet this year 13ft lie competed with the Los Angeles Athletic Club at Denver in the national AA.U. track and field championships this summer, and won the pole vault at 13ft. 9 Vila. a new na- tional AA.U. record and just failed at lift.

lin. and a fraction for a new world's record. Immediately after the AJLU. championships Sturdy left for New Haven where he helped the combined Yale and Harvard teams easily turn back the joint Oxford-Cambridge team in a meet at New Haven. From this point on Mr.

Sturdy takes the reins: FIVE TRACK STARS Vs i )- '4. r. i 1 1 Ms' 1 I K- Kv .5 Josephine McKlm If Stanford wins the Pacific Coast Conference football champion, ship, Al Masters, the astute grad ual? manager, should not only get. a half-interest in the cup, but. really should come before the board of directors for a life-time contract.

For the Cards undoubtedly have the easiest schedule in the entire conference. Not that the Redshirts have attempted v.v; Availing contenders far from it. But ratner mat the hard games have been so scheduled that Warner can elve his regulars a rpct an vv uiiu DCiiU his third and fourth string material into action every other Saturday and get away with it withmif. dif ficulty.

PLAY OREGON The conference chamnionshfn maw go a Ion? wav toward hpfnn no dded on October 5, when the Red-shirts tackle Oregon.

The Web-feet carry every promise of being the dark horse of the conference this vear. and If thpv con hni. Stanford they can be considered as Deing neaaea scraignt lor the title. After that they meet Idaho, Washington. U.

C. L. A. and Wnsh1nytwi State, and if they can beat the uaros iney most certainly should hurdle the rest of the opposition. However, considering Stanford's 26-12 victory of last year, it is hard to conceive of anything but a Redshlrt After the Oregon game, Warner's hopefuls tangle with U.C.L.A., in the local coliseum.

On October 19, the Cards face Oregon State, which hasn't anything resembling the strong squad it offered last year. Then, on October 26, the Cards entertain Southern California at Palo Alto. Warner's v. POP VrVj'riE5 regulars, who will' hate seen plenty of service against Oregon, should be In top form a sain for the Trojans, as few of them will have seen much action against the Bruins or Staters. Warner doubtless will give them little more than a bit of exercise against either team.

Following the Trojan contest they take a breather against Caltech and then go north to Seattle to meet Washington in their only game away from home during the entire schedule. Enoch Bagshaw has twenty-one letter men. but whether he can build a squad good enough to topple the Cards is something else again. The Cards won, 12 to 0, last year, and this season Washington won't have Chuck Carroll to back up the line. He made two-thirds of the tackles In the tilt last season.

that the Cards return home on November 16, to meet Santa Clara, and the regulars will get a bit of rest preparing for the California game the following week. Thatt affair will be played at Palo Alto on November 23. After that contest, the Cards have an entire month in which to prepare for their game with the Army at Palo Alto on December 28. Summing all this up, we discover that the Cards play five hard games, four of them on their home grounds, with plenty of rest between contest. Compare that with some of the following: TOUGH LINE-UP Trojans: Five of the first six games, conference contests.

Stanford and California on successive Saturdays. Washington, the Caraa and Bears in a period of twenty-two days, with Occidental as the only let-up. Three important games Washington, Stanford and Notre Dame away from home. California: Washington and Stanford on successive Saturdays. A trip to Philadelphia in the middle of the season.

Three Important ganfes Pennsylvania, Southern California and Stanford away from home. Washington: Stanford, California and Chicago on successive Saturdays. The Trojans, Washington State and Oregon on three successive week-ends earlier in the season. Two games, California and Chicago, on foreign fields. Oregon is the only team whose schedule looks anything like Stanford's.

They play their two hardest games Stanford and Washington away from home, but there is plenty of rest between important games. BY OLIVE HATCH They call her "Panama Jo." That's the nickname for 19-year-old slim Josephine McKim, who can break world's swimming records and still lock frail and feminine. Maybe you thought champion girl swimmers have to be plump you know but if you think so, Just manage to take one look at Jo. Why. the men even want to protect her until she Jumps into a swimming pool! When Jo returned from the woman's national championships In Honolulu, she signed to enter U.S.C.

Simply the fact that she won three national titles and broke two world's records ought to make her very popular in college athletic circles. But. oh may. the way the sororties went after her! They say she is the perfect sorority type: "Cutie," "peppy," etc Personally, I think the sororities have used excellent Judgment. Jo was born In Oil City, Fa She attended Edge-wood High School, Pittsburgh, and Jamaica High School, New York, before her father's business took the family to the Panama Canal Zone.

Here she attended Balboa High School. Incidentally, at about the same time, she took up swimming. Before Jo knew how to swim, her father used to take her to the ocean, drop her in as a small wavelet went by, and call to her: "Now, swim!" With great emphasis on the "swim!" And Jo would paddle with her, baby-hands until the wlrVelet reached shore. Ever since then she has paddled her way to shore triumphantly. Jo developed a natural, easy stroke all her own, at the age of 13, by watching the champions of Panama race against each other.

One day she decided to race, too. That day she won five gold medals. Believe it or not She could have won another race, if she had known how to make a backstroge turn, she says. She finished first in the backstroge but was disqualified for improper turns. The first year of swimming found Jo the all-around cham-.

plon of Panama. Until she was 16, no other girl could beat her. Then, for two years, she found other interests, as young girls often will in high school. Only last year, in Buffalo, she forced Martha Norelius to break a world's indoor 220-yard freestyle mark, time: 2:40 3-5. Jo finished within one-fifth of a second of Martha, also bet- ur ICS ROCKAWAY (Ohio State,) the hurdler; Leo Sexton (George-L town,) weights and high Jump; Leo Lermond 800 up to 5000 meters; Erik KJellstrora (Georgetown,) a Swede and our manageralso 400-meter hurdler, and myself left New York on July 17 aboard the steamship President Roosevelt.

"It Is not a particularly large ship, but comfortable, and as the meals were good we all enjoyed the voyage Immensely. The Roosevelt brought, back particularly pleasant memories to Leo Lermond, who crossed on her with the 1928 Olympic team. "After the first day out we constantly found ourselves mixing the two Leos, so we dubbed them 'Big Leo (Leo Sexton weighs 225 pounds and Is 6ft. 2V41n. tall) and little Leo' (for Leo Lermond.) The names have stuck ever since.

"We had planned on going right through to Bremen with the ship, arriving there on July 28. However, at 2 am. on July 25 we received a radiogram from Sweden requesting us to go to Bremen via Paris. Naturally, no one kicked at that, but it was a bit difficult to do since we were due In Cherbourg, at noon on the 25th. However, after staying up most of the night packing, changing landing cards and trying to get my poles out of the hold, we made it, and thus arrived at Paris on the evening of the 35th.

SAN DIEGO ST ATE WINS OVER NAVAL GRID TEAM FOUR-HOUR TRACK WAIT "DELIEVE It not, we were out on the afternoon of the 26th hunting for a track to work out on. We found one aU right, but trying to step on it was another thing. None of the boys spoke very fluent French, nor did the representative from Sweden who met us in Paris, so it took us Just an even four hours at the track before they would allow us to take a workout. Needless to say, none of us have particularly happy memories of Paris I mean from an athletic standpoint, of course. Other memories are Just that! "We headed up to Cologne, Germany, and arrived there July 28 (Joined In Cologne by Pete Bowen, the quarter-miler, who came over on another and later boat due to the Vancouver meet he participated in after the national championships at Denver.) We were royally welcomed by the German athletic representative and we were given every possible help in our training.

The Cologne track and field is one of the finest I have ever seen. It Is a 500-meter track and has five vaulting pits and two high-Jump pits. a special stretch of cinders paralleling one of the straightaways for use of the high hurdles only. All in all, we looked forward to a rather big afternoon on the 31st. BEARS IN HARD PRACTICE Price Sends California Gridders Through Final Saturday Workout; Open With Broncos BERKELEY, Sept.

21. (Exclusive) The main Idea being to get ready for Santa Clara University on the 28th Coach Clarence (Nibs) Price of the University of California football varsity put squad through a 'stiff workout this afternoon, the last of the Saturday practice performances before the opening of the regular playing season. Price has introduced a radical de- 1 i ON LINESMEN Sagehens Have Inexperienced Front Well Prospects Hack field Appears as Strong as Any of Rivals fiixon Begins His Thirteenth Year at Claremont BY EDWARD LAWRENCE (Thu A u(ond ff a una ef m-tich Jmling tciih iaethall icamt Ihe Southern Calif omit CtnfentKt.) Potentially powerful! That, in a nutshell, sums up the actuation at Pomona. College, as coacn tugene Nixon begins his thirteenth year pi- mentoring successful Sage-fa football teams. I may further bo stated that Pomona's prospects are potential In that they will depend almost solely on Coach Beefy Heath's ability to develop a line out of EUGEW6 willing, a i iroefully inexperienced material Led by Capt.

Poke Hartman, as nf a. ouarterback as you will see In action this fall, Coach Nixon will have a veteran first-string backfleld. augmented by fair reserve strength. Six lettermen, four backs and two linemen, are the return-In veterans. Frank Dyer, a capable end, and John Judy at center, are the two forwards available, leaving: gaping holes at jruard and tackle.

The wing positions will be fairly adequately taken care of by Stew Hagestead and Cart Inman. Pomona would also welcome ih return of Clarence Bishop, who injured his knee last year and is still walking with a cane after undergoing an operation. It is doubtful whether be will be able to play. In addition to Hartman, Nixon riU have experienced men In Don Murdy and Bob Baynham at halves, and Al Putnam at fullback. PRODIGAL SONS Two prodigal sons are also returning to give Putnam a bit of competition for the fullback job.

They are Art Colley, a regular two years ago, and Harold Hager of the 1927 frosh. Hager is small, but has something of the same "spark" that made diminutive Lee Williams one of the best ball packers in the conference last sea-eon. Other backfleld prospects include Harvey Bear, the 8.8s. dash man, and George Stancer, Bear was issued a suit as a halfback, and Nixon may find his speed an asset. Incidentally, Bear played some football at Santa Ana, and Is grounded In fundamentals.

Stancer, also seeking a halfback position, has shown tip well in practice. Now comes the wailing and gnashing of teeth episode of this story. Just as the guards are most important cogs under Howard Jones's system at Southern California, so the tackles are equally Important under the Nixon system and Nixon has yet to find his tackles. Hank Morgan and Seymour Tucker are. being groomed for the tackle berths, but both positions are still wide open.

Loren Ward, captain and tackle, of the Citrus Junior College eleven last year, has transferred to Pomona, and may be one of the answers to Nixon's prayer. Bob Hickox, from last year's freshman team, is the only other available tackle. At the present writing, It appears that both guards will come from last year's frosh ranks. Prank Clements, who played his first football with the peagreeners a year ago, and Jack Witherspoon are flanking Judy. Others who are being- tried out are Nip Walker, Bob Elliott and Cartwright Hunter.

Nixon says he will try out the big boys on the Tine first, and if they prove too Incapable, he will have to sacrifice his 155 -pounders. Judy at center may find his hands full with an arrogant sophomore, one Tom Berry, who looms as a first-class pivot man. That just about takes in the field at Pomona, as Nixon's turnout during the first few days numbered only twenty-two, and he will not have more than thirty-five on the squad at any time. FATHER AND SON It does appear that Nixon and Earl (Fuzz) Merritt, frosh coach, are "framing" on the conference. Genial Gene has one son.

-Blair Nixon, on the varsity, this year at end, and. another tousle-halred Kixon is rapidly reaching the age where he. will soon be donning Pomona jersey. Fuzz's youngster Is 11 now, and he and young Nixon are likely to play on the same teams some years hence. With inexperienced material, Nixon is somewhat handicapped in that he is required to take up considerable time teaching fundamentals.

Pomona will have the advantage of an added week of practice, however, as its season does not open until October 5, when the Sagehens meet Caltech at the Rose Bowl. That is a tough assignment, nevertheless, as the Engineers always prove tough. Last year. Pomona edged out a 7-to-6 MIKE DONLIN WILL 1 DON UNIFORM TODAY Mike Donlin, the Babe Ruth his day and Idol -of the.

At Mie same time she won a place on the American Olympic team of 1928. The national championship event took place at Rockaway Beach, New York. In Honolulu this year, she topped all previous performances by winning three national outdoor swimming championships, the 440, 830-yard and one-mile races, breaking the 220 and 440-yard world marks in the quarter-mile championship swim. WOODS DENIES HE'LL RESIGN (Continued from Seventh Page) As for the Walker-Hudkins proposed title fight. Jack Kearns, manager of Walker, had another conference yesterday with representatives of the Olympic.

The upshot of this talkfest was that Kearns agreed to let Walker fisk his title on a percentage basis if Hudkins beats Anderson at the Olympic next Tuesday. And if Hudkins doesnt Anderson will get the chance at Walker's crown he has coveted for the past two years. With Anderson's victory over Hudkins here last October very fresh In the minds of all those present, thl3 fact had to be taken into consideration. So now it will be the winner of the Anderson-Hudkins battle against Walker for the title. MUST DEFEND CROWN Kearns doesnt believe a Walker-Anderson match would draw as much money as a Walker-Hudkins bout because of the latCer's great popularity here, but Walker must defend the crown to save that now in the hands of the Boxing Commission as a forfeit.

Therefore, it will be Anderson if he repeats his last year's victory over the Wildcat. "I'm satisfied with terms and am ready to sign for Walker If Hudkins beats Joe Andercon next Tuesday night," said Kearns. "But I'd be foolish to sign now. Anderson may whip Hudkins and I can't make any money with Walker defending his title against a loser. "Anderson beat Hudkins here a year ago and he may go out and do it again.

If I signed now I'd be bound by contract and might have to fight a loser. "I'm satisfied with terms of-fered me by the Olympic. The date is all fixed and and the scaling of Wrlgley- Field suits me. If Hudkins can win Tuesday night the Walker fight will draw over $200,000." Those who sat in with Kearns were Clyde Hudkins, manager of Ace; Matchmaker Wad Wadhams and Si Masters. The terms were not announced, except that Hudkins agreed to abide by his original contract, which called for 12 Vi per Cent.

Clyde said the option would stand until after the fight Tuesday night. The last move of Kearns makes the Hudklns-Anderson fight Tuesday the key to the big 6hot If It takes place. Kearns said that Walker would go into hard training at once If the match is made next Wednesday. How the Olympic plans to scale the prices for Wrlgley Field was not made known.

Instead of engaging In a scrimmage as planned originally, the San Diego State College and Naval Training Station football squads played a regular game today on the Aztecs' field.

It was the initial appearance this season of Coach C. E. Peterson's Staters against an outside team and they made a good show-ig, winning 12-0. The clubs probably will scrimmage either Tuesday or Wednesday afternoons, Peterson announced following the workout. With all but four members of the squad getting into action for at least ten minutes, the Aztecs chalked up two touchdowns and kept the Boots from the scoring zone.

Coach Clarence Cartwright's eleven was unable to get closer than the 20-yard line. Defensively the Aztec forwards sparkled. The contest showed there are still many ragged edges that will have to be polished off State college's 1929 gridiron model before it wilt be ready to enter in the Southern California Conference race.

Among these are Weymouth Pool, near Alton; Fembridge Pool and Snag Pool, Fernbridge; and Fortuna Levee, all on the lower Eel.

The steelhead fishing on the Klamath River, Smith River and In ths coast lagoons is likewise world-famot 'Big Leo' too the high Jump and shot (no Hlrchfeld.) "Pete Bowen won the 400 easily. "Rockaway was beaten In the high hurdles by Wenstrom of Sweden. Incidentally he (Wenstrom) was timed last Sunday in a Stockholm meet In 14 4-10s. a new world's record for 110 meters. Rockaway won the lows easily.

parture from his former policy. In past seasons it has been customary to emphasize the rudiments, that is to say, tackling, blocking, interference, running. This was because Price had a bitter experience in 1926, his first season at the helm. Since then, however, football matters have Improved immeasurably at the Golden Bear Institution and Price does not have to pay so much attention to these first details. Unless the press observers at today's practice are in great error, Price is going to give the public its fill of open-game thrills for those familiar with California's policy in the past.

This Is indeed a wide deviation from his custom. The Californians have been regarded as the chief exponents on the Pacific Coast of a "wait for the breaks" system of play. With Benny Lom stUl shaking bis hips, Price has one invaluable threat for the offensive style of game Indorsed by Prof. Jones of the University of Southern California and Pop Warner, the ever wily strategist, of the Stanford farm. If he so chooses, by a bit of clever manipulation and switching of positions, Price can start a full team of letter men.

What sense, then, in playing around with freshmen details such as fundamentals? Price figures that the play on the Pacific Coast is going to be shrewd enough this season for tnem, for the most expert of the tricksters in collegiate football ranks and wants to be In the swim, not merely a wet- blanket. Lee Eisan, the star quarterback of the California varsity, also is looking forward to a big year. Elsan, who was a veteran footballer before he came to California, somehow feels that he has not yet attained his full powers in intercollegiate, competition. It was Elsan who captained one of the best freshman elevens at California for a college generation in 1926. In the year before that he played with the San Francisco Olympic Club and Buck Bailey, to whip California and end the reign of the wonder teams.

Some of the outstanding performances of his college career are the famous run back ol a punt two yards to a touchdown against the San Francisco Olympic Club, in 1927, where he was tackled three times, got up and finally staggered across the white line In movie fashion. In Washington last November he was the inspiration of a touchdown drive that won the game and also he scored the only touchdown of the game on a cleverly executed lateral pass, rhere were other veterans working alongside with Eisan and Lom today. These men played in high school side by side. Including Capt. Roy Riegels, the center who brought fame to his doorstep by virtue of a run In reverse pear agamst Georgia Tech.

Ted Beckett, the hard faced, muscular stevedce, Russ Avery, the veteran of loot-ball wars and other veterans still hold Price's preference for a. starting line-up but me changes may be made with scrimmages the lore-part of the "I took the vault at 4.10 meters (13ft 6in.) and let It go at that due to a bum left arch I developed (or maybe it was rheumatism from the cold and rain earlier.) This was our most pleasant Btop and our long est. You see it Is the Sota Sports' Club of Stockholm and the Stockholm paper Dagens Nyheter that arranged this tour for us. "We next hopped a boat over to meet there on the 12th and 13th. as I remember, but we all won our Finland in the matter of understanding them than in any other coun try so tar.

The Finnish language is hopeless. Why, when we got back to Sweden and got a Swedish newspaper in our hands again it was like reading English. remarkaUt how quickly one can pick up a bit of most of these languages, particularly in the newspapers. TRAIN TH A I 77E WERE treated to one of the nicest' parts of our trip, an vv airplane trip from Helsingfors to Stockholm. Though it took us twenty-four hours to go over by boat we came back in Just over three hours.

The planes used are big sea planes and they are beauties. The trip Is mostly over water (the Baltic) though the path Is dotted with thousands of iilands and rocks for most of the way. We all enjoyed it and I particularly, because it Just happened to be my first trip in the air, and strangely enough the same was true for Pete and Big and Little Leo. "Anyway, it was good to get back to Stockholm once more, for we could get corn flakes for breakfast there, and we by now had the waiters at our hotel trained as to how to make oranpt Juice and how to scramble our eggs! Incidentally, we have yet to find a baked potato In Europe! Pete Bowen has promised 'to go out la the kitchen of the next place we go and cook them himself If he has to. As it is we are slowly being "broiled and trench-fried potatoed" to death! "It's now 1 am.1, Paul, old man, and I'm pretty tired after our meet today, also have to get a 9 a.m.
