The Plain Dealer UNITED Tonight and Tomorrow LON CHANEY in "A Blind Bargain" AMAZING! SENSATIONAL! WEIRD! THRILLING! The cast includes Jaqueline Logan, Raymond McKee and big cast. Comedy Monte Banks in "Please Remit" Seiznick News DOPE FAVORS TO VANQUISH Something like 10 years ago a wire cracker started comparing football scores. Today comparative scores are usually read with interest by football followers. In some cases these scores, like All-American eleven, have proven huge jokes. In other cases they have hit that time worn theory, "figures don't lie." Taking into consideration the scores of Penn State and U. S. C. teams, which swing into action in the annual East vs. West gridiron classic at Pasadena New Year's Day, it is found the Trojans have a decided edge. This doesn't mean that the Cardinal and Gold squad will smack the Nittany Lions from start to finish. It means that if the figures are correct U. S. C. will win. It is practically impossible to really compare the showing of Coach Hatee Bazidek's outfit with that of Elmer Henderson's power'u machine. State met some of the best in the far East during the season just closed. Three times they were beaten, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania and the Navy turning the trick. U. S. C. faced the best on the coast. They were humbled but once, California's wonder squad from Berkeley smearing the Trojans in one of the greatest struggles ever staged in this section. 12 to 0. San Diego's Christmas Day contest between Gonzaga and West Virginia give local football fans their chance to figure just how strong Penn State and U. S. C. will be. In this contest Virginia triumphed. 21 to 13. Foot witnessed the play played brilliantly them a chance went through without sustaining. Gonzaga was coast this season considered one East. Washington zaga in an earl 7. On Thanksgiving Trojans saneare. West Virginia not very long 9 to 6. Later Pittsburgh through Penn smoke of battle found the score of the Panthers. 5 LOCAL GO TO Billy Darnley' good with San for he is taking boxing show to leather pusher been a disappe The boys are ways give the worth by show. The following Darnley late Espin who no Redlands in the ON VERNON TALENT Waivers have been obtained by the New York Americans on some of the players the Vernon officials have demanded in exchange for Jakle May. Bill Essick, manager of the Vernon Tigers, helped iron out some of the wrinkles yesterday when he held a long conference with Frank Chance, manager of the Boston Red Sox. Chance has a couple of players Essick would like to get, but there appears to be little chance of the Boston American league leader letting go of Johnny Mitchell and "Lefty" O'Dool. Chance also knows the ability of several of the players offered as substitutes by the Yankees. Twice the May deal was just about concluded, but Ed Maier, owner of the club, who is in the East now, insists that all players in the Jeal must be turned over to the Vernon squad. Maier has had experience in the past whereby certain players were promised, but later on it was claimed waiver could not be obtained on them. The Los Angeles club has been stung that way in the present deal. Outfielder George Maisel was supposed to be turned over to the Angels in the Dumovich deal. Later it developed the Cubs owed Toronto a player and Maisel was sent to the International league club. Wally Hood, who played in the outfield for the Seattle squad last season, is expected to be one of the regulars with the Angels. Hood has not been taking baseball seriously, but he was married shortly after the close of the season and it is believed he will put up a hard battle for the berth. The former Whittier college had a regular berth grabbed on the Brooklyn National league club, but he did not take it seriously. Vernon Spencer, who played in the Angel outfield for a couple of months last season, was married in Los Angeles the other day. Spencer has signed to play with the Buffalo International league club.

Center St. Phone 901 COACHES DISCUSS GRIDIRON CHANGES NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—Beef well as brains was in evidence at the second annual meeting of the American association of football coaches. Interest centered on the rules committee, which proposed several changes. None was in favor of an increased penalty. The suggestion to prohibit clipping from the rear and side and to impose a penalty of 25 yards for such infraction was promptly voted down as was the motion to increase the penalty for delaying the game. One of the most significant actions taken by the coaches was the approval of the try for point after touchdown that has been in use this year. John W. Heisman of Pennsylvania suggested that in a tie game, both teams be given three extra downs and the eleven which succeeded in advancing the ball the greatest distance should be allowed the extra point. ALUMNI CASABA MEN PLAY TONITE Basketball fans will be given a chance to see Anaheim H. S. five and a quintet of alumni stars battle this evening at the local gym. Anaheim HI plays its first league game Jan. 3 and the boys are glad of the opportunity for practice tonight.

Football authorities who witnessed the game declare Gonzaga played brilliantly, but bad breaks cost them a chance to defeat a team that went through the Eastern season without sustaining a defeat. Gonzaga was a weak sister on the coast this season. West Virginia was considered one of the best in the East. Washington State defeated Gonzaga in an early season game. 10 to 7. On Thanksgiving afternoon the Trojans smeared the Cougars, 41 to 3. West Virginia defeated Pittsburg not very long ago, the score being 9 to 6. Later Pittsburgh's machine crashed through Penn State and when the smoke of battle had cleared it was found the score was 14 to 0 in favor of the Panthers. 5 LOCAL SCRAPPERS GO TO SAN BERDOO Billy Darnley's boxing boys are in good with San Bernardino fight fans for he is taking over for the weekly boxing show tonight no less than five leather pushers.

TEAMS READ FOR PALO ALTO CONTEST SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 28.—The next course is about ready. Pacific coast football fans, as many as had the money, the time, and the inclination all at the same moment, went to San Diego to see the first of the three great intersectional battles scheduled for coast gridirons this holiday season. Now all eyes are on Stanford stadium where, day after tomorrow, the University of Pittsburg will clash with Stanford—Warner himself against Warner’s system as applied by his first lieutenant.

HAS GOOD TIME AT LONG BEACH Members of the Anaheim Junior Hi-Y club who were fortunate enough to get away for the trip to Long Beach today report a great time at the beach city Y. M. C. A. Arriving just before noon, the boys were welcomed by the secretary of the Boys’ Department who gladly made arrangements for the use of the gymnasium and swimming pool. All speed limits were broken as the boys dressed for the fun, and for an hour demonstrated their ability not only to cover the floor but to score baskets as well in a real live game of basketball. From the gym the boys reported to the swimming pool and for half an hour enjoyed equatic games and event. It was then time to eat, being nearly two o'clock, and by popular vote the club adjourned to the Pike for dinner. Of course the whole gang had to go through the “Crazy House” and some of the boys tried the “Jack Rabbit” and the “Dodge Em.” Back at the Y. M. C.A. at three o'clock, the secretaries were glad to welcome the boys and to introduce them into the various games being played in the social room. Cars left the beach city at 4 p.m., everybody voting it a great day, and looking forward to another opportunity to visit the Long Beach “Y.” The members of the Junior Hi-Y club who participated in the outing yesterday were Hugh Kiler, Billy Utter, Harold Mann, Jack Hensley, Guy Duekworth, Billy Grafton, Owen Galvin, with their Leader, Coleman Hickey and Secretary G. S. Chessum in charge. DRAMATIC SCENES IN FINE PHOTOPLAY That large, expensive sets do not always contain the best opportunities for drama is being exemplified at the Paramount studio where a stodgy tenement interior and a flight of stairs therein forms the focal point for a series of rapid and intensely dramatic scenes in “Kick In,” George Fitzmaurice’s new Paramount picture featuring Betty Compson, Bert Lytell and May McAvoy, Gareth Hughes and Walter Long. There are the efforts of the three crooks, Lytell, Hughes and Miss McAvoy to go "straight;" there are the attempts of the law, represented by Walter Long, to thwart this intention; there is the pathos of pathetic little Myrtle weeping over the pilight of “Bennie” who stole once more to save her and there is a dramatic scene in which Betty Compson, as the District Attorney’s daughter, fights by the side of the crook she has learned to love and trust. Eye-filling sets and beautiful gowns are not missing in “Kick In,” however. Indeed, they are plentiful in the earlier sequences of this Onida Bergere adaptation of the Willard Mack stage success. TRAP SHoot NEW YEAR'S A trap shoot will be held on New York City streets on Saturday morning from 10am to 3pm. "K. O” JOE CHANEY WINS AT SAN DIEGO SAN DIEGO, Dec. 28.—Kid Moha of San Diego and Sailor Constantine boxed four fast rounds to a draw, decision in the main event of the show staged here last night. In the semi-windup Joe Chaney of Anaheim knocked out Bobby Pierce of San Francisco in the second round. CALL DEAF MUTES TO SOLVE TANGLE PARIS, Dec. 28.—Deaf mutes, experts in lip reading, have been called in to solve the Carpentier-Siki mystery. The deaf mutes were shown the moving pictures and asked to interpret what Manager Descamps said when he rushed to Sill’s corner in the fourth round. The commissioners declined to give out the results of the experiment, but said it was entirely successful. SANTA CLARA COACH RESIGNS POSITION SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 28.—Henry G. Buckingham, coach at the Santa Clara university, resigned today and left for his home in Memphis, Tenn.
