Before another week ends Jeffer
Bon High school may be resting: su
preme on top of the Interscholastic
league per centage column. The rea
son ls'that it has what appears to be
a fairly easy contest this week. Wash
In gton, which is now tied for first
place with Jefferson, has "a battle on
hands. Each eleven has won three
Karnes this season .and lost none.
Washington Is called upon to play

field, while Jefferson will tangle with
Benson on Wednesday. Coach Bryan's
Tech school football men are ex
pected not to threaten Jefferson, but
on the other hand many football fol
lowers believe that James John has
a mighty good chance to hold the
formidable Washington aggregation
even.
Washington Not Worried
. Jefferson administered a 21 to 0
lacing to James John last week, but
it was the opinion of all those who
witnessed the game that James John
can put up a harder fight. Coach
Campbell is working his squad hard
and will try to have them in teal
condition fer the contest with Wash
ington Tuesday. The superior physi
cal condition of the Jefferson team
was the main factor In its victory
over James John. Coach Leon Strong's
Washington gridders are rarin' to go,
after their 24 to 0 win over Benson,
and do not seem to be worried in the
least about James John.
Klevm la strong.
Without a doubt Washington has a
bunch of players as classy - as any
team has boasted of in the interscho-
astic league for some seasons, and if
hey play together should be just as
successful against James John as
-hey were against Columbia-
Hill is slated to play Columbia
Thursday. The Hill-Columbia game
s an evenly matched affair and
should be closely contested. The edge
lues not seem to rest with either
Kiuad. Coach Dewey's prep school
.earn has not been getting any of the
reaks this year and has fallen to
lefeat In two out of three contests,
i ill having met the same fate in
hree starts. Both schools boast of
ast teams, however, and a good game
-ihould be in store for the tans when
these two teams start.
Franklin Score Record.
Coach Rehbein's Franklin eleven
me to life last week and ran up a
.2 to 0 score over Commerce, which
s the record for the season. The
quad experienced little difficulty in
coring touchdowns throughout the
;ame.
The Quakers will play Lincoln Fri
"ay. They will outweigh the Rail
plitters and. unless the latter spring
i. decided surprise, seem to be in for
i defeat. Lincoln has an exception
lly light team this year and although
hey are speedy and have some good
ten in the line-up, it has been proved
lanjr times that a good big man can
eat a good little man and the same
.light apply to the teams, although
peed is a factor in football "these
ays.
Stars Beg-In to Shine.
Individual playing hits were re--orded
last week by McClusky and
.ake for Columbia, Poulson and King
if Franklin, Hitchcock, Meyers and
lurlburt of Washington, Girt and
irown for James John, Youmans,
.ram and Julian for Jefferson, Hath
iway and Churchill for Hill. Lind and
fill for Benson, Pander and Johnson
or Commerce and Rogeway, Beck and
Jlkelis for Lincoln. All of these play
rs did some work that put them out
a front in last week's games and
lany of them have been playing con
intently all season.
This week will bz the fifth of the
1919 interscholastic season.

land, to fill the place made vacant by
F. W. Cozens, formerly instructor in
physical education of the University
of California and now director and
assistant professor of physical educa
tion in the southern branch of the
university. Dr. Frank' L. Kleeberger,
head of the physical education depart
ment of the university, issued the fol
lowing statement relative to the Dasis
on which athletics is carried on In the
University of California:
During the past five years the Uni
versity of California has been follow
ing a new procedure in the physical
education of its men. This new pro
cedure has had as its basis of develop
ment the attitude that all men going
through the University of California
should be Drougnt to a certain nana
&rd of physical ability along practical
lines, in short, should be educated
definitely to meet the physical
exigencies of life which a vigorous,
active man might be expected to ex
perience. "The university has examined Its
men on entrance not through the tra
ditional methods of tape measure
ments and artificial strength tests
but through a series of tests of each
man's actual physical ability. He is
examined as to his ability to Jump a
ditch, to rnn, to vault a fence, to scale
a wall, and to fall in a way to Insure
safety in case of accident. Each man
also is asked to demonstrate his
ability to -maintain himself In per
sonal combat through his cleverness
as a boxer and wrestler. . Finally, he
Is tested as to his ability to maintain
himself in the water and to save life
as well.
This method of procedure has re
sulted in a very decided interest on
the part of the students in general in
the matter or educating themselves

Gustafsen has been selected as leader
of the University of Pennsylvania
cinder path team this coming season.
Creed Hammond was last year's cap

he ran second to Mayer of Cor
nell in the 880.

MR. TUNA, FIGHTING TIGER OF

Famed Swashbuckler of Sea Gives Tom Marshall Regular Thrill as He

BY TOM A. MARSHALL.
This lighting tiger ot the pacmc
ocean! The leaping tuna, giant
horse of the mackerel family. A
pelagic swash-buckler of the sea.
Said to have attained the length of
ten feet, 'with a weight of 1000 pounds.
The record rod catch of tuna, at Cata-
llna island grounds, is 251 pounds.
This acrobatic wonder Is built for
speed and agility. His first maneuver
after the hook is set and his freedom
restrained by the hook and line angler
is a high dive, accomplished by the
shimmey motion, in his effort to loose
the hook. Tuna fishing is the acme oi
exciting American sports.
My outfit for tuna was a Z6-ounce
coib-wood rod, seven feet long, extra
heavy multiplying reel, holding about
800 feet of Irish linen 24-thread line,
tested to 48 pounds, a seven-foot
bronze wire leader, swivels and a
10-00 Shaunneesey hook, a six-inch
flying fish, hooked through the mouth
and laced to the shank of the hook.

HEAVIES C03IE FROM WEST
East Has Had No Title Holder
Sinoe John L. Sullivan.
NEW YORK. Oct. 18. (Special.)
While the east has been extremely
active in bedecking Itself with cham
pionships in most lines of athletic
endeavor it has been decidedly tardy
in one. Not since the days when John
L. Sullivan jauntily sported the heavy
weight crown on his pompadour has
this section of the country boasted a
leader in that division. Starting his
career In the the days of bare knuckle
fighting on the turf, he graduated into
the mode of Marquis of Queensbury
boxing and lost his title to James J.
Corbett at New Orleans on September
7, 1892. For 27 years the east has
never been able to produce a heavy
weight capable of winning the cham
pionship. Following Sullivan upon the throne
have been: James J. Corbett, who
came from San Francisco: Bob Fitz
ilmmons of Australia, James J. Jef
fries of Los Angeles, Marvin Hart, rec
ognized successor to Jeffries when
the latter announce! his retirement
from the ring, who hailed from Louis
ville; Jack Johnson of Galveston,
Texas; Jess Willard of Kansas, and
Jack Demoaey, whose home is now in
Utah. v
Thus have seven champions biased
their way along the Leavyweight trail
since it was last trod by a man claim
ing the east as his home. And at this
time there is no eastern championship

prospect doing business In the divi
sion. In other boxing divisions this sec
tion of the country has not fared so
badly. Of the champ. ens in the seven
divisions at this time three of them
are from the east; .n fact, all three
re from New York. The following are
the divisions, champions and their
homes:
Bantamweight. Pate Herman. New Or

Middleweight. Mike O'Dowd, St. Paul.

Some there may be who will take
exception to Including Jack Britton
among those representing the east.
He formerly made his home In Chica

newsboy in that city, but for the last
several years Britton has lived in this
city and claims it as his home town.

MARRIED WOMEN RELEGATED

Records Show Matrons Have Hard
Time Maintaining Top Place
In Golfing World.
NEW YORK. Oct. 18. The victory
of Miss Alexa Stirling in the national
women's championship golf tourna
ment at S lawnee-on-the-Delaware
last week seems to emphasize the fact
that matrons are unable to annex the
coveted title in this old golf fixture.
Since its inception in 189S the title
has been hela by married women only
twice Mrs. C. S. Brown winning it
the first year, and Mrs. C. Vander
beck winning in 1915. The married
women, however, have been Quite
consistent runners-up, according to
the history of the affair.
In the 1919 meeting Mrs. W. A.
Gavin was the runner-up, as she was
In 1915. Miss Stirling's victory was
her second In the classic she having
won the title in 1916. It was not
played in 1917 or 1918 because of the
war.
Another interesting angle to the
national championship for women is
ti e fact that one woman has never
held the title more than three years,
M!ss B. Hoyt winning it In 1896. 1897
1898, although nearly all of the win
ners have succeeded in capturing the
ncnor twice.
miss rioyt s recora. however, can
not be fairly compared with the work
of rresent-day aspirants. At the
time she won the title three years
in succession, golf was something
quite new to the American women
and even national fixtures like this
ore rarely attracted more than an
Interesting" group.
Each year the national has grown.
Where formerly about thirty or forty
piayers xeea on, now there are up
ward or several hundred, and the
class of play as a whole has improved
to sucn an extent tnat really high
class golf Is necessary to cut into the
finals.
This year the finals were intensely
interesting. Miss burling, the win
ner, played sensational golf, and Mrs.
G. A. Gavin was indeed not far be
hind her at any stage. Miss Stirling
would have defeated many of the
American stars among the sterner sex.
while Mrs. Gavin s play was consist
ent, though not as brilliant as that
of the winner. It was an uphill task
to launch the first national event for
women, but that it paid from the
standpoint of Increasing Interest in
the game cannot be doubted when fig
ures of the tournament during the
past dozen years are considered from
all argles.
Scullers Ready for Race.
LONDON, Oct. 18. Ernest Barry
famous sculling champion of the
world, will defend his title on the
Thames October 27 against Alfred
Felton of Australia. Barry has held
the English sculling championship
since 1908, when he defeated George
Towns of New South Wales over the
Thomas course. A. D. Felton, who 1
Australian born. Is 20 years of age.
He came first into notice in 1913, when
he met Arnst for the Australian cham
pionship and was beaten. He next
took part in a race in which there
were three challengers for the title
of Australian champion, but this time
was beaten by Paddon, who afterward
came to London and lost to Barry.
