f DUBLIN. Jan. 1. Leading
Sinn Feiners and government of

the arrival here of Eimona De
Valera. They assert that he did
not arrive- on; board the steamer

Irish ports failed to reveal that
the "president of the Irish repub

Soars Sinn Feiners credit the
statement of Harry Roland, sec

States, that De .Valera has land

It is stated there would i he no
need to arrest De Valera on the

At 7: IT. tonight the naval air

which should have reached Ban

Princeton Team
Wins Debate 2 to 1
MARION, O.. Jan. 1. Al
though President-elect Harding
has about decided on several of
the most; important appointments
in his cabinet, it was indicated
today that he had not yet com
mitted1 himself to a definite de-j
cision in regard to any ot the
vacancies!.
During the last few days he
has reviewed the entire field of
available, yet no development
of a positive character has .been
revealed.!
In circles close to Senator
Harding,! Charles E. Hughes, of
New York, continues the most
talked-of man fcr secretary - ot
slate, and Charles G. Dawes, of
Illinois, still is a favorite for sec
retary of the treasury, although
for the latter post Charles I).
Hilles of : New York and John W.
Weeks of ' Massachusetts; still are
mentioned as ' possibilities. Mr.
Weeks, however, is more gener
ally regarded as a likely secret
tary of the navy.
Othersj who keep to the front
In cabinett speculation are Harry
M. Daugherty of Ohio, most fre
quently mentioned for .attorney
general; Will II. Hays of Indiana
discussed for postmaster general
or secretary of the interior;
Henry Wallace of Iowa, put for
ward for secretary of agriculture,
and Herbert Hoover of California
whose name frequently has been
coupled with portfolio of labor,
but who has been regarded In the
light of recent development as
a mpre likely choice for secretary
of commerce.
Regarding the secretaryship of
war. speculation has taken a less
definite trend. During the past
few days. A. T. Hert of Kentucky,
has been mentioned . conspicuous
ly for the place, but everything
has indicated that Mr.. Harding is
far from a decision on the point.
Like Mr. Weeks, however, Mr.
Hert is considered by many as
certain to have some post in the
cabinet. , , '
I The president-elect is said to
be entirely undecided in regard
to the! secretaryships of the in
terior and commerce, which may
be fitted -at the. last moment by
men displaced in the final allot
ment of the portfolios of higher
rank. There has been some talk
of George Sutherland of Utah for
secretary of the interior, but his
friends say he is likely to receive
a place on(the supreme bench.
It is understood that no posi
tive .action has, been taken in re
gard to the appointment of a
secretary to the president, but the
general belief has been that the
position will go to George B.
Christian, Jr., who has .been Mr.
Harding's secretary since he en
tered the senate.
. The president-elect spent most
of New Year's day at his desk.
A. P. Moore, of Pittsburgh, and
Mrs. Moore, who formerly was
Lillian Russel, were guests at a
noonday dinner at the Harding
home.
After Governor Olcott had been
in conference for three hours yes
terday with R. A. Booth of Eu
gene and John Yeon of Portland,
members of the state highway
commission, he was yet unable to
announce an, appointfnerft. of a
third member of the commission
to succeed the late E.E. Kiddle or
Island City.
"Wewere unable to reach a de
cision'sfcNd the governor, - "and

the difficulty that the governor

ADMITS DEFEAT
"Beaten at Their Own
Game", Says Buckeye
Mentor
LOS ANGELES, an. 1.
Grant P. Ward, head line coach
for the football team of Ohio
State University in a signed ar
ticle written for the Los Angeles
Times says: ,
'Beaten at their own game.'
This expression aptly, expressed
the result of the California-Ohio
Slate New Year's day fray.
"The Golden Bears 'sprung a
diversified attack that was not
..rilv- more va ried but also had
more, punch than that exhibitedj
by the Buckeyes. The uoiaen
Bears possessed 'everything that a
good football team should have,
including every variety of the
forward passing tack, uperb
interference on end runs and a
line that could .open up holes for
short line plunges. . : ,
"It 1s doubtful If any -team
could have defeated California
the way they played today.
"Probably the - entire affair
could be summed up In the words
The best team won.' . And the
hats of Ohio are off to the Cali

Ohio State's famed aerial attack

fore the brilliant Blue and Gold
defense and' the 42,000 specta
tors" saw - California take ,a rleaf :
front the Buckeye's book and beat
the Ohio men at their own game
of forward passing. California,
on . the offensive, had . a dazzling .
assortment of. passes,! long; and
short and one the defense got in
the .way and broke up most of
Ohio's throws, intercepting them
always when;the middle-westerners
threatened. - , . .'
Coupled witle the phenomenal
California display of passing was
a varied offense. Coach Andy
Smith's men slashed the. - Ohio
lines at . will, vircled the Ohio
ends, and with double passea and .
criss-cross plays. baffled - their
opponents. The story of Cali

brilliant end. Muller was a stone,
wall . on defense and cn the of-V
fense played a'.remarkable game.
Three of California's tquChdowns
were the direct result of MuHer's
mastery of the aerial attack,, both
in passing and receiving.
. Pete Stinchcomb, Ohio State
representative on' the Mythic, all
American eleven, did everything
expected of him and inore bnt
the California defense ' had ' been
perfected to stop hitn. Although :
Stinchcomb probably gained more
ardage than any other player to
day, his work demonstrated that
one man cannot win from a
trained varsity. ; '.,
Seven minutes of play saw the
first California touchdown. An
Ohio fumble." recovered by Call-
fornia and followed up v-ith a
versatile- attack,' resolted in
Sprott going over the line.
In the second period, Zdaller
tossed a 50-yard pass,, probably
the longest ever thrown in the
west,! to Stephens, who went over
for the second Bcore.' The third
f,oal came in the same ' quarter
when an assortment of plays put
Sptott over with an end run.
. No scor,e waa made in the third
period,-but Inthe fourth Sprott
circled the Ohio left end to the
five-yardj line where Deeds, in
two bucKS, went "over.
- Attendance at today's game
broke all western football records
according to the Tournament -of
