Intersectional Games Are Growing In Favor, Says Billy Evans
GIORGIA-YALE
GAME GIN
115 EXAMPLE
By BILLY EVANS.
Intersection*! game* ara a» much a
part of college football a * the world
•trie* la to baseball.
Several year** ago certain big col
lege* tried to put a damper on aurh
garnet. That attitude no longer ei
-3a t a.
Unquestionably the Intersections!
games furnish the big thrill of the
gridiron.
These meetings do even more—they
make It possible to dope out the rela
tive strength of the leading contend
ers from the various sections.
The first clash of the 1924 season
between the leading teams of the
east, vest and south offered several
surprises and some interesting com
parisons.
GEORGIA SURPRISES YALE.
Georgia, the team that Yale de
feated 40 to 0 last fall, lost to Tad
Jones' eleven by the scant margin of
one point, the score being 7 to 6.
Georgia, pointed for the Yale game,
showed a team much stronger than
last ygar. Yale earned to l*e weaker.
Marquette treated the Navy to a
huge surprise, defeating the Anna po
lls team 21 to 3. West Point evened
things up by trimming Detroit Uni
versity 20 to (*
Brown, with a strong eleven, felt
sure of victory at Chlcao. but was
outplayed throughout, losing 19 to 7.
NOTRE DAME GOES EAST.
Each Saturday of the football sea
son from now until the end of the
campaign offers one or more choirs
morsels in the form of intersections!
meetings between our lending teams.
;Notre Dame makes it usual east
**en pilgrimage, meeting Princeton and
ih* Army. The colorful Notre Dams
eleven is always a great card. Once
again Coach Rorkne looks to have a
championship eleven.
The elaah between Minnesota and
Vanderbilt should he a hummer.
Pennsylvania and Virginia la an
other Interesting game, also Nebraska
and Colgate.
IMPORTANT COAST GAMES.
in the resaon Syracuse Will
.tourney to the coast to meet Uni
versity of South* m California, while
Pennsylvania wll I try »r» defeat Andy
Smith's far-frtin«’d California eleven
Instead of diminishing, interser
ftonal games are growing in popular
favor. It I" a good thing, for these
games make for bettor football and
tend to cement friendship* between
the lending schools of the various
sections.

FOUR MEMBERS OF
BROOKLYN TEAM ARE
HELD FOR ASSAULT
WENATCHE, Wash.—Edward
Brown, Milton Stock, J. Mitchell
and Bernie Neis, Brooklyn National
League baseball teame, will play
with their team Tuesday against
the Seattle Indians, under S4OO bail
each to appear next Monday or
Tuesday for a hearing on charges
of Intoxication and assault. They
are alleged to have attacked Wil
liam Weaver, 16, a bellboy at a
Wenatche hotel, when he refused to
unlock a room.
BATTLE, Wash.—Charges against
four Brooklyn National League
players at Wenatche are inaccurate.
Jack Fournier, manager of the
team, declared here Monday night.
"I witnessed the altercation and
the statement that William Weav
er, 16, bellboy, was badly beaten, is
untrue,” said Mr. Fournier. “It Is
true that Neis, who had been drink
ing lightly, hit the boy. Edward
Brown, Milton Stock and J. Mit
chell, seeing the quarrel, attempted
to intercede. They had not been
drinking, and were on the way to
the station with their grips.
“The officers of Wenatche arrest
ed all four and held them on
charges of Intoxication and assault.
Neis probably Bhould bo punished
for what he did, but the arrest of
the other men and the attempt to
tie up the team was an outrage.
The bellboy appeared in the police
station and seemed unhurt. He is
not in the hospital.”

Ten years ago Vance was playing

At that time Hastings, the home of
Vance, was in the same league. He
decided it would be nicer to play in
the old home town. When he ask

what he was worth the reply was:
"If some one offered me $50.00 in

Vance peeled five tens from his

ROB MARTIN
RECOVERED,
SEEKS BOUT
NEW YORK—Bob Martin wants
to come back. Martin ia the young
Virginia youth who won the heavy
weight championship of the A. E.
F., turned professional, and enjoyed
fair success mingling with second
raters.
Martin sustained a slight con
cussion of the brain about 18
months ago. and was finally forced
to retire from the ring. At first
Martin suspected the trouble cen
tered in his eyes but whe ntreat
ments designed to better bis vision
failed the soldier fighter submitted
to a thorough examination. It was
then revealed that he had been in
jured about the head by some
heavy blow received in the ring.
Martin retired following a pathe
tic exhibition against Martin Burke
in New Orleans, the aftermath of
which was on official ruling by
Louisiana ring commissioners bar
ring him from future participation
in the ring.
Martin went back to his home
in Virginia, joined the state police
as a mounted officer and started
out to regain his health by activity
in the open air.
Martin now is of the opinion that
lie is his old self again and has
written Jimmy Bronson, his for
mer manager, to get him a fight
here. Bronson is hoping Martin is
all right again but will not match
him with any one until positively
assured by physicians that the A.
E. F. hero is fully recovered.
Martin’s most noteworthy per
formance in the ring was against
the late Bill Brennan. Martin did
not get the decision, but experts
were unanimous he deserved it.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21
1. The Kids were cearly outclass
ed, which is very unusual, for ordi
narily they are mighty hard to beat
at the Indoor sport.
In water polo the Kids came back
for revenge, and revenge they got
it, though the match was not decid
ed until the last thirty seconds of
play, when Mothner scored a point
almost single handed. In the first
half, the Kiwanis, Jrs., scored one
point, and the Rotary boys evened
things up in the early part of the
second half. The situation looked
like and extra period affair until
Mothner made his dash from mid
way, the pool to the goal, with the
second tally and the game for the
Kids.
The Exchange, Jrs., made sure
their hold on first place by taking
their water polo match from the
Lion Cubs in an easy fashion, 4 to
0. If the Exchange youngsters
lose all of their remaining games
aand the Kiwanis Kids win all of
theirs the Exchange outfit will still
finish in first position. The real
struggle now is for second place,
and all three of the other teams
have a chance at It.
Tho Lion Cubs took the baseball
game from the Exchange Boys by
the skin of their teeth, the count
being 5 to 4. The Cflibs did some
good work in winning this game.
