Dick Griffin has agreed to weigh In
at 12S pounds six hoars before his
contest with the Zulu Kid of Brook-
jTi. Christ-mas day.
And he has already forwarded a
substantial forfeit to matchmaker
James Fru in. of the Port Bliss Ath-
letic association to go to the doubt-
able Zulu in the event ha scales above
the specified poundage as the latter
is strictly a bantamweight and does
not look upon the idea of giving away
-n-elgbt with favor. Griffin has beea
serappirg around the old feather-
weight limit of 12 pounds it is now
125 for a number of months but
hi shoninjr against Pal Moore at 11B
pounds resulted In an entire change
of his training methods. Prom now
cn he intends to make the bantam
limit if it is possible.
CcaM Make Weight Before.
Griffin offered to show a number
of his friends that tie could make
the limit at the ringside and still be
strong while he was in 1 Paso last
summer-

prised Monday at the alacrity witn
which received the acceptance of
Griffin and the Zulu for the contest
on Christmas day.

He desired to stage it in the warm

1 TALKING IT OVER
1 YOUR VIEWS AND MINE
A PKOPOS of the Quarrel over the
M. welter wrestling title which Is
expected to be settled here Da-
cember 15 between Jack Reynolds
and Matty Matsuda an interesting
little bit or information comes to The
Herald sports editor from the wrest-
ling promoter at Collins Iowa-
Headed "Who's Who" the writer
seems to give quit a definite review
of the tangle and for the benefit of
friends of both Matty and Reynolds
it is printed below:
"On October 37. 1120 Guy Elliott
of Des Moines defeated Matsuda two
i falls out of tares and alter looking
I through the scrapbook of Reynolds
the writer finds that Reynolds de-
i cialvely defeated Elliott at Cedar
Rapids. Iowa. Labor day. September
' 6. 1920. This alone it would seem
gives Reynolds a clear claim to the
welter title having defeated the man
! who bested Matsuda. The writer.
along with Ed. Smith of the Chicago
Evening Telegram Bert's. Collyer. of
Collyer's Bye of Chicago and Richard
K. Fox of New York still hold that
Reynolds is the bonafide welter
wrestling champion of the world."
AH ef the above comes from an
absolutely disinterested party.
Insofar as Matsuda and Reynolds
are personally concerned and is
but the cooperative advance of
Information that vrlil -tend to
eiear up the tangle. There seems
to be quite a little misunder-
standing about the match between
Reynolds and Mstzuda which oc-
curred In Liberty hall last June
and during the progress of which
Matsdas friends declare that
Reynolds lest his claim to the
title after he was unable to come
back fetlowlnjc the second fall In
which he suffered paralysis of
the arm. HeynoMs and his friends
heM a vastly different view of
the matter as the champion did
met claim that he had not been
thrown or that he could net have
eeme back.
The match was under catch as
catch can wrestling rules aad the
matter is specifically that Reynolds
never did claim the Jiu-jitsu wrest-
ling title and does not snant to.
He recognises the fact that "he was
thrown but refuses to consider that
be was thrown under catch as catch
can rales which must prevail in the
coming march before he chooses to
risk the title.
"T won the first fall by the use of
catch as catch can and I am the
welter champion today." Reynolds
asserted. "If Matsuda defeats me by
the use of catch as catch can wrest-
ling I will be the first man to eon-
gratulate him. However I posi-
tively affirm that I was not thrown
by catch as catch can rules it being j

holding that title. I think that Mat-
sues is a good wrestler but I believe
thet X can defeat him In a return en-
gagement as I have beaten him be-
fore." Reynolds and Matsuda are training
daily for the second meeting before
El Paso enthnsixsu and their work
Is being witnessed by quite a large
number of spectators.
Matsuda EI rasos favorite. Is
rhowlag improved form and his
friend are backing him enthu-
aiastieally. He has completely
recovered from the effects of a
hell upon his arm which handi-
capped him to quite on extent
renewing the Seheber match and
earnestly believes that he will

Reynolds. Matsuda Is beyond
doubt the meet Trilling wriggler
that has appeared before the El
i-ase ians and It Is not to be
wondered at that he has a fol-
lowing whs is much interested in
his progress.
He and Reynolds are adopting a
purely technical view of their com-
ing match and each assert that if the
other Is returned the victor then he
will be the first to congratulate him.
Pete Brown will doubtless make his
second appearance before the Kl Paso
fans in the semi-final to the Rsyaolds-
Maisuda go being matched probably
with "Boxcar- Johns the Bl Pass
middleweight who has won quite a
few matches lately.
This Brown made quite a bit with
the fans by his clever work against
Tommy Rascon and they like his style.
He and Rascon were going at It ham-
mer end tongs when the Houston lad
obtained a flying mare which ended
the .contest abruptly. Rascon has

Br BDDIB CA9KT Harvard Star.
THIS is the time of year when the
gridiron warriors are making a
scramble as desperate as any they
ever made through the Itse In order
to get back their scholastic standing.
For let It be known that only a very
few college boys can play the gruel-

old saying about a man being unable
to servo two masters applies to the
football star. And while he is under
the head coach's lash. It Is the studies
that are likely to be neglected.
When you consider that football im-
poses much more than Saturday af-

Poor Excuse
For Sinners
The war has tm advanced as a
reason for the slipping from .race
of Chase Lee Magea and the other
original sinners. It was pointed
oat that when the major leagues
closed (heir gates at the end of
the 117 season they did not expect
to reopen them until the war was
over. When they did start tn 'IS
every one felt that the season
might be cat snort at any mo-
ment. The veteran players like
Chase believing that the Euro-
pean eonfllst might last for sev-
eraJ years and knowing that they
would be unable to bold fast time
berths after that lapse of time de-
cided to get all the money they
conld honestly or dishonestly.
This may or may not be the trne
reason. At least it is a logical one.

It Is not uncommon although now it
is getting to be rarer and rarer for
a football man to go through the first
three months of his college course
without hardly "cracking" a book. I
have known Instances like these my-
self. Certainly Xot Busier.
In spite of what the outsider may
think this doesn't mean that college
work is purposely made easier for the
football players. Ia my own experi-
ence his let. academically is no
softer than that of any other man. It
la Just the manner in which college
courses are conducted thst permits
such a long term of neglect on the
part or a man.
As most persons knew a college
year is broadly divided Into two
parts with the mM-year examina-
tleas coming at the elese of the
first half year and the final
exams af the very end. Aa the
marks obtained OB these very
rigid and strenuous examiaatfens
have much M do nttk the fnH
-.mark a man receives for his
course. It Is therefore easy enough
to shirk your work in the early
part of the year so long as you
make It up when the football sea-
son Is -over by studying twice as
hard and pfektag up the things
you have misaed while busy with '
glMiron work.
Doing Just that Is the only salva-
tion of the boy who has given his
chief attention to football. If he
doesn't go full steam ahead oa his
studies as soon as the season is over
ho Is courting failure In those highly
important crams and scholastic fail-
ure ultimately means dismissal from
college. More than one football star
has been lost. I may say by taking
things easy in the academic nart of
his career once the football season
