" " j THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1926. ===/ Baseball 1 Basketball Boxing _ J m "Brick" Muller a Star Performer on Gridiron One of the greatest of the greats, athletically speaking, ever turned out along'the Pacific slope was "Brick" Muller of California. Muller was an all-round athlete, par excellence. A star football performer, the big fellow could also hold his own with the best-In track and on the diamond. Muller, as you probably know, gained his most fame as a grldder playing end. He was good on both offense and defense. But his forte was throwing passes. Endowed with an extremely large pair of hands, which permitted him to obtain an unusttal grip on the ball, lie could hurl with speed and accuracy. In a word, Muller was one of the greatest passers football has pro (luced. In the famous Intersectlonal game with Ohio State, New Year's day, 1921, Muller's passing was one of his outstanding features. His aerial work played a prominent part In sending the.middle westerners back home with a stinging 28-to-0 defeat as a reminder of their Jaunt to the coast. Ohio, It will be recalled, won the Big Ten championship the preceding fall with one of the best teams that Institution ever put on the field. It was In that brush that Muller tossed one p?rs that traveled from deep California territory Into the waiting arms of a~ Callfornlan, perched almost on the goal tine. Out In the West they still talk about that heave whenever football is the topic. Champ 1925 Fly Weight The above photograph shows Kldel LaBarba, the 1925 flyweight champion who won his title by. defeating Frankle Genaro by decision it Los Angeles. Youthful Britisher Is New Fighting Sensation Teddy Baldock, a stripling of seventee!!, has taken the boxing world by storm. Since he left school three years'ago he has been In 124 battles and never has met with defeat. Often he fought twice dally In the Bast end. where he Is regarded as a hero. The experts are hopeful that he will prove to be a second Jimmy Wilde and retrieve some of Great Britain's lost pugilistic fame. The lad comes of lighting stock. His grandfather fought In the bareknuckle days of the squared elrcle, and >fi father also was a fighter. Baldock's latest'victory was the other night when he defeated a Frenchman, Antolne Merlo, In a brilliant exhibition. English Schools Intend to Continue Rugby Game One elementary school after another n England Is deserting association football for rugby because rugby still remalnsfstrlctly amateur. ( The situation has reached such a e stage that the head masters who ara seeking means of saving "soccer" as a school sport ,reallze they nave a aimcult task before them. \ It la pointed out by the headmasters and others that association football ^ has many fine qualities, and that It would be a pity to turn It over en tlrely to professionals.
