REPORTS OX THE XEW YEAR'S
GAME SECURED BY BIXLETIX.
The Bulletin has mado arranger

will be played at Pasadena tomorrow.
The score will be received at 5 o'clock

PASADENA, Cal., Dec. 31. 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.

NAVAL HOLIDAY
U. S. HELP SUGGESTED
Gradual Disarmament To He Policy
Of Harding Xaval Situation In
Considered Key To Question
of World Wide Peace.
By Henry Wood.
(United PreM SUff Correspondent.)
PARIS, Dec. 81. France will be,
glad to Join In an International con
ference on disarmament "when Ger
man pockets have been emptied of
concealed weapons," the French for
eign office today told tho United
Press. A high official declared that
France secretly had begun partial
disarmament, but developments la
Germany have made it Impossible to
proceed with that program.
"If the United States will Join In
forcing Germany to empty her pock
ets of concealed pistols, France will .
be delighted to join In a general dis
armament scheme," he said.
GRADUAL DISARMAMENT
MARION, Dec. 31. Steps toward
gradual disarmament will be' taken
by President-elect Harding early in
his administration, according to au
thoritative information here.
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.
