Ob the eve of the great Intersections! gridiron battle between Ohio State afid California, considerable even money is being wagered that the Buct .yes will triumph by at least seven points. ' California adherents had been so ' confident of a western victory that for some time the odds were about 3 to 2 in favor of the Bears. Then the splendidly trained Ohioans appeared on the ground. Snap and fire exhib ited by the easterners caused Pacif ic coast backers of the Berkeleyites to become more discreet. -'. Some California experts have doped the Bruins to win because of the class of their substitutes, but coaches and football experts in gener al seem to be of the opinion that the Berkeley eleven will be unable to pierce the powerful line of the Co lumbus aggregation. - Ohio's baffling last-minute offen sive will be pitted against California's steady, dogged aggressiveness. Both elevens hare relied much on the for ward pass for the majority of their scores. Each is known to hare spent much time perfecting an "anti-aircraft" de- fensire. That trick plays, norel for motions and Inside football will be given a whirl Is certain.

GERMANS MUST YIELD WEAPONS ASSERT FRENCH SHOULD COME BEFORE NAVAL HOLIDAY U. S.

MOVEMENT SPREADING NEW YORK, Dec. 31. The move ment for limitation of naval construc tion Is spreading so fast throughout the. world as to make it a more im mediately effective Instrnment for world peace than the League of No tions. America controls the world's naval situation. Whatever the Unit ed States says, will be done. America alone has financial re sources sufficient for an indefinite expansion of warship construction. If America is willing to declare a naval holiday, other powers will eagerly seize the opportunity to cut down their own expenditures. FIGHTING SPIRIT WILL RULE CUBS Every Hut Must Be Run Out, Is Declaration of Johnny Evers, New Manager of Club. By Henry L. Farrell. (United Press SUff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Dec. 31. "Every Cub on my club must run out every hit." Johnny Evers. Sounds like a peculiar policy, for a major league manager, but there's a lot back of it. It's not the physical exertion re quired in dashing to first at top speed on an almost sure out that counts so much as the spirit behind it. "Spirit is half the assets of a win ning ball club,"- John A. Heydler, president of the National league, said recently. i . "Nine of the best players in the country might fail to produce a win ning ball club, if the spirit wasn't there. A club of less capable play ers with the spirit to dash down on every hit, to run after seemingly im possible fielding chances will get the results. "Look at the world's series last fall. Spirit made Cleveland win. Af ter a discouraging start,, the Indiana kept at it, taking advantage of every break and taking every chance. Brooklyn's spirit was not the same when things were breaking wrong." Evers, the new manager of the Cubs, one of the most fiery players rf his day, has similar ideas on spirit.
