Ohio State took the 1920 football championship of the western conference back to the presidential state tonight. In the most spectacular finish seen on Illinois field in y,ears, the Ohioans defeated Illinois, 7 -to 0. in the de ciding game of the "big ten" race today, when Myers. In the last 10 sec onds, snatched a 37-yard forward pass from Workman, ana dashed across the line for the only touchdown. Pete Stinalicomb. the brlliant Ohio left lialfback, kicked goal. By winning today Ohio has undisputed clal mto the title. Both teams fought virtually on even terms until the final few minutes. ' Illinois Fights Stubbornly. Illinois, weakened through the loss of Captain John Depler, all-western center, and further crippled by in juries to Carney and Ralph Fletcher, star kicker, fought stubbornly to check the smashing Ohio attack. The Ohioans carried the fight into Illinois territory most of the game, although each eleven got within inches of the goal, but lacked the drive to put it across. After the game the 6000 Ohio fans poured onto the field as Stinchcdmb's coal was a success. The Ohioans followed their 100- piece band in a wild snake dance, while Illinois rooters remained in their seats singing "Illinois Loyalty.1 Crowd Breaks Record. " The crowd was the biggest that ever witnessed a football game here. There were 22,000 persons jammed within the gates. Thousands were turned away. To Stinchcomb fell the main task of carrying the ball for Ohio. In the second period he ran 31 yards for a gain that placed the ball on Illinois' 17-yard line. From there it was a dance to Illinois' one-yard line, where the Illini stiffened. Again at the opening of the second half Stinchcomb received the ball from the Illinois kickoff for 45 yards, but Illinois kept the Ohioans away. Unable to make consistent gains near the end of the game Coach Wllce sent in several fresh players and the famed Ohio forward pass was brought into play. Workman heaved four passes, but two were incomplete. The first placed the ball on Illinois' 43-yard line. The next two missed. On the fourth attempt Workman shot the ball 37 yards to Myers, who raced across the goal. "WISCONSIN DOWNS CHICAGO since leaving Pullman.

Have you ever stopped to consider why one man takes a delight in en tering competitive sports for his pleasure, while the other man refuses to do so unless he is paid? It is the old question of amateur ism and professionalism. The profes sionally inclined man considers pugil ism, as an example in point, his busi ness. Some even call this line a "pro fession." Such a man will not start unless he is paid. Take the other man who indulges in boxing as a sport for sport's sake. This man has to go through. Just as severe training as the professional. He has to stand just as many bumps and bloody noses and yet many times gets nothing for his trouble of training, his hard knocks, or a broken nose not even ribbon indicative of victory. He gets a real thrill out of his competition and is more en'.husiatic over the eport than the professional. Take the college man in any type of eport. What does he get? He goeB all through a season of many months, track, baseball, football, swimming. boxing, wrestling. There are no prizes, no medals, no cups. When it comes down to money prizes the col lege man would start a lynching party on the man who even suggested such a thing. When the season is all over and a team of boxers or what not has defeated its most deadly rival, that victory Itself is the pay ment. When a college man "makes" his varsity team and plays or com petes against the varsity considered the "big event" of the season or in a college conference series, that man is entitled to a sweater with the initial of his college. This is given him free of charge and means more in the life of a college man than many thousands of dollars. Why has the amateur this view point, as opposed to the financial consideration the minority of men In sist on before they will perform? In many cases the man who demands monev and becomes proficient in his art or sport either cannot or will not bestir himself to enter a substantial line of business. The majority of tnese men nave not tne Drains, aonny or ambition to do anything real. They prefer to hang round street corners, and once a week or twice a month en gage n a boxing match for which they are paid according to their rating in their so-called profession. Their life in competition as a general rule is short lived and their earning power quickly finds its end in this endeavor. Then he starts to look for work and very few make ' anything of them selves. No laws will ever change this pe culiar condition. The fact remains that the amateur sportsman not only gets more real fun out of his sport than the professional, but that the future holds greater possibilities for him in a business life than for the man 'who insists on payment for his services. There are exceptions, of course, but these exceptions are the brainy, thinking minority of the pro fessional athletes. Present Champ Miraculous Fight er, hut Falls to Class With , Great Colored Man. . Al Herford concedes that Eenny Leonard is one of the greatest light weights in the hia-ory of pugilism, but won't admit that -he is really the superior of Joe Gs.ua. Herford brought Gans from ooscur- itv to fame and handled him through il the years of greatness, tierroro knew Gans as no other man Knew mm and since then has Insisted that Gans was a peerless lightweight. So much was said about Leonard and much of it to Herford that the veteran manager decided that he Am Leonard in action. He nicked out the night when Benny took on a youngster named Lougnnn ana whipped him to a frazzle. Afterward Herford saia: . "Leonard certainly is a miraculous fitrhter but he Is not another Joe Gans. There was but one Joe oans and there will never be another. admit that Leonard has certain things that Gans lacked, but as an offset Rsna had" something that Leonard never will have. Each man has his own peculiarities; his own individual trickeries. And that's what makes them distinctive. "Gans had a way of tricking his onnonents into coming to him. He never would rush when a rush wasn't of vital necessity. - He would stand back and wait for his opponent to step into the trap. Leonard, on the other hand. Is a rushing, aggressive fellow who doesn't wait for the other man tc come to him. He goes out after him. Gans Had Great Riant. "Leonard has it on Gans Inasmuch as he can knock out a man with either hand. Gans did most of his deadly work with the right. He used his left hand mainly to wear down opponents to a point of exhaustion Probably, If he had tried, he could have scored Innumerable knockouts with his left. But he was always content to use the left for chopping purposes only. Leonard. U8es the left to drop as well as to chop them down. 'Leonard knows nothing much about - the art of conservation which was one of Gans' mightiest assets." The negro never wasted an ounce of energy. He was all action ail fight when the moment for it came. At other times he simply nursed along his endurance and nis strength. Perhaps Leonard doesn't need to conserve his strength like Gans did for he is constituted differently than Gans. He is a rugged, powerful chap with a seemingly inexhaustible sup ply of stamina. Gabs was, despite hi fist'c greatness, a rather frail war nor. He had to save his strength as much as he could and he certainly Knew now to save It. Leonard Falls to Conserve. "Perhaps if Leonard had the Gans physique and knew that his endur ance powers weren't so amazing he mignt learn conservation. But he f ever has needed to learn It because he has an inexhaustible supply of en eigy. But it may be well for him to learn it because the day might come when he will need every ounce of energy which he has. I feel that the greatest lightweight battle of all time that is conceivable would be one over a distance route involving Benny Leonard of the pres ent time and Joe Gans when he was at his superlative best. It would be a fight worth going across the conti nent to witness; a battle between two men so evenly matched that none would dare -to make a definite predic tion as to the winner."

HARVARD ELEVEN IS FLAYED University Paper Says Team Fails in Courtesy to Visitors. The Harvard Crimson, the univer sity daily, came, out on the eve of the football game ' with Center college with an editorial flaying Harvard students for their failure to recognize good playing by visiting teams. The best host is the one who cre ates an atmosphere in which all his guests want to Join," said the Crim son. Is there any reason whv the Harvard side of the' stadium should show a silent indifference to its oppo nents, a son 01 cold superiority to the presence of smaller colleges? Why save for the Princeton and Tale games the exhibition of enthusiasm and fine sportsmanship which Har vard can and has shown? "So far the host in the stadium hn done too little to create an atmos- pnere which will make those who 'boo feel decidedly out of place. We expect the team to act like fine sportsmen. Why not expect as much from the Harvard supporters, ' in stead of a passive indifference?" Canadians Want Coast League. . ' VANCOUVER, B. C, Nov. 20.

Hanover Eleven to Play "Cnlver- " sity of Washington and Will Be Greeted In Western Fashion. SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 20, (Spe cial.) Dartmouth alumni of the Northwest are planning on giving the Dartmouth eleven a royal reception when they arrive In Seattle to meet the University of Washington root-. ball team in the new Stadium, Sat urday after Thanksgiving. According to present plans the the Hanover team will leave Boston, November 20, a few hours after It has played Brown University on Brays field. It is scheduled to arrive in Seattle the following Wednesday over the Milwaukie. Delegations from the Dartmouth Alumni association' riero and of the University of Washington will be on hand to give the men from Hanover a typical Seattle reception. Two sections have been set aside for the supporters of the visitors. One section and part of another will be occupied by the Dartmoutn alum ni and rooters. The remaining part. according to plans of Hanover alumni. will be set aside for all alumni or eastern colleges who want to be in that section. Two flag poles, each sixty feet high, to be placed at the main entrance, will be dedicated at "the game. One will be given by the Dartmouth alum ni of the northwest and the other by the local Institutions. The poleB will be used to fly the colors of the rival teams that play in the Stadium In the future. Washington's colors, purple and .gdld, will always fly from the same pole, while its opponents will fly their colors from the ,pole to be used by the eastern college. After the game the visitors wlU be guests of their alumni at a typical Dartmouth party, to be held at the Washington Annex. A Dartmouth party Is a somewhat different affair than most of the parties staged by other alumni, due to the fact that the Hanover Institution is strictly a men's college and not a co-educational institution. Dartmouth alumni in Seattle who have watched the Washington eleven in action this season are not back ward In predicting a victory for the team representing their alma mater when the rival elevens meet. The eastern college has established quite reputation for defeating college elevens when they have dedicated their stadiums. The most notable victory gained In this respect was when Harvard went down to a IS to 0 defeat a few years ago when they met the New Hampshire team In the first game played in Crimson stadium.
