SECTION TWO VOL. XLI PITTSBURG ELffl DEFEATS STANFORD East-West Game Is Won by Score of 16 to 7. CARDINALS EASY PREY Both Teams Crippled, but Coast Squad Has No Chance With Experienced Panthers. STADIUM STANFORD UNIVER SITY, Deo. 80. The Panther foot ball team from the University of Pittsburg" had little trouble in de feating: Stanford university, 16 to 7, here today in the second east-west game of the season. The visitors outclassed the Cardinals throughout the game and except for a few min utes during the last period were on the offensive. Only a vicious Sanord defensive prevented the score from being higher. Six times the Pitt backfield, with its crack fullback, Hewitt, and Its star halfback, Flanagan, doing most of the work, by line bucks and forward passes, carried the ball to within the Stanford 20-yard lines, and six times Stanford held and punted out to safety. It was one Warner-trained team playing against another, and the most experienced eleven won. Glenn Warner, who is coach of the Pan thers, Is also advisory coach of the Stanford team, and comes to take full charge of the eleven in 1924. Both Teams Crippled, Both teams were crippled by the absence of stars. On the Stanford side Art Wilcox, ex-captain and star "triple threat" man, was out with injuries, while the Pitt team played for all but three minutes without Holleran, its captain. Holleran en tered the game for the last three minutes of play. Costly' Stanford fumbles helped Pitt run up its score, although it is probable that the scores would have been made anyway, for the Panther backfield tore through the Card line almost at will during part of the game. In the second period the first Pitt touchdown was made when Cudde back fumbled, Bowser recovered. and, after several bucks, Hewitt went across. The next scoring was made in the same period, when Cleaveland fumbled, giving Pitt the ball. After driving toward the Car dinal goal line, Williams sent over a drop kick. Pitt's second touch down was made in the last period, when Flanagan drove through the Stanford line. Stanford Offrnnlve Wins. 1 Then came the Stanford offen sive just as it came in the big game against California, when, after playing . on the defensive three periods, the Cardinals turned and fought the Bears down the field. A forward pass, Cleaveland to Thomas, gave Stanford the ball on Pitt's 29 yard line, but the Panthers re gained possession by intercepting a forward pass. Stanford was not to be denied, however, and with the Cardinal rooting section crying for a score the team repeated by forward-passing to Pitt's one-yard line, from where Dennis went across. Approximately 10,000 persons at tended the game. A much larger crowd was expected, but threaten ing clouds kept many away. Lineup and summary: Pittsburgh 16. Position Stanford 7.

H. GREGORY. SUPPOSE Fred Fulton back ' in 1913 had stuck to his trade as plasterer. He was getting then let's . see, the union scale was around $8 a day. It's $10 now with a good man able to keep busy all the time. Fred was a good plas terer, too he could reach into all the unreachable corners and slap on his, trowel of plaster without even stretching himself. Had he stuck to his trade he'd probably today be living in a nice little home with a nice little family and driving a nice little Ford. Per haps have become an employing plastered and hired other plasterers at .$10 a day. The world would not have been interested one way or the other, for the world would have known nothing about him. . But the plasterer didn't stick to his trade. He thought he could fight. He had some reason for thinking so, at that. He was . a giant in size, though much resem bling one of the laths he plastered 6 feet 6 inches tall, weighing around 190 he tips the beam at 216 now, but is still lathy. He had a bludgeon in either fist, and when he tapped the boys playfully they lell. No wonder they egged him into a ring career. . , , , , Anyhow, Fulton took to fighting. OREGON, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER teing a heavyweight and a big one in the white hope days, that soon made him "a - national char acter.' He won some fights quickly and looked like a coming champion, and then he lost some others even more Quickly and didn't look at all like a champion. He has been hav ing his ups and downs ever-Blnce. He's the prize in and outer of the ring. Pit him one day against some budding Goliath and bang! Down drops the - Goliath and Big Fred Is the next champ. Next day he'll meet some other big fellow and bang! Down . drops Fred.' It has been that way for years. There never was a fighter . of Fulton's potential ability who so kept his friends teetering between enthusiastic hope and the bitterest disappointment. On dope he ought to be champion of the world. On performance there have been times when he looked all of that, and other times when he couldn't have won the championship of Black Cat alley. And yet somewhere in this big fellow's makeup there Is champion ship, or at least near-championship stuff. He has the class; trouble is he doesn't always exhibit It. But through it all he has remained a drawing card wherever he goes. There .is something very likeable about him, even when he looks his THE CORVALLIS -7, v;v kew worst. With all his ring tribulaT tions he probably is better off today by far than had he remained a plas terer at his $8 or $10 per diem with the little, home-and the little. Ford. He arrived in Portland yesterday with-his wife and they put up in style .at ; the Benson hotel. Fred has made a neat pile out of boxing not ..within a small fraction of what he might have made but still a tolerable chunk' for the, afe deposit vault. - - ' . 'Within -the' frame ' oi this lanky Hercules there yet smolders the fire of ambition. , We, talked to big Fred yesterday.- He attributed his rins misfortunes: to a peculiar ., cause. He said his troubles were all due, first, to- bad managers; second, to no managers. That - sounds : paradoxical, but it Isn't. - When he was a young, fellow breaking in, says Fulton, unscrupu lous merr got hold of him and used him to -their own ends. Next, he avers, he cut loose from them and took to managing his own affairs, and that- was worse yet.- "A- fighter simply must have a manager to get anywhere and stay there," said Fulton. "I thought I could look after my own affairs, but I can't. Tootmuch detail. Too many little things to annoy you and break your sleep and -worry you half to death. , A bad manager ien't worth the powder to blow him up, but a gcod manager is the making of a fighter. ' ' . ' "Now just " for instance, let me show you -what a boxer is against when be tries to attend to his own affairs. I am here from Tulsa, Okla., where I knocked out Carl Morris In four rounds. Virst I had to conduct the : correspondence- for that bout and make -the ter, lha -when 31, 1922 -TOLEDO HIGH - Although the Scott high eleven of Toledo Ohio, will outweigh Corvallis 20 pounds to the man in the east-west gridiron show at Corvallis tomor row, the noticeable poundage of the eastern team is all in its line. The heaviest back In the Ohio lineup is iAuner, wno turns tne scales at j.o. The backfield averages but. 140 pounds, which is 15 pounds lighter than the average of the Corvalli backs. got there I had to dig up training quarters, engage sparring partners, arrange for seconds, attend to everything.- You have no idea how many little things come up to be looked after. If a .fighter has to do them they take his mind off training and fighting. ' . - ". ' ' 'The night of the' fight I had to go to - the gate and watch them collect tickets. I had to buy a couple of . padlocks and . lock the ticket boxes and keep the keys in my pocket until after the fight. If I hadn't but you know ' where a fighter would be If he didn't have somebody1 watching the gate, even in the best regulated places, and I had -to do the patching myself. "Then after all that I had to go Into the ring and fight first arranging for seconds and seeing that -they were on hand. It was enough to drive me crazy.'' "Same thing was true of my fight with Miske in St Paul. - I was sick then, on top of. everything else, and never should have . fought' that aiUt, If I hid had i, good naager Classified and SCHOOL GAME he wouldn't have let me enter the ring " in my condition, but would have insisted on a postponement." Fulton thinks he has - the man agerial problem solved -at last. He Is In communication with Jack Curley -of New York and expects Curley to take him in charge as soon as he completes his dates in the northwest. -Fulton came here expecting to fight Bill Tate at Mll waukie New Year's day for Frank Kendall, who is an old chum of the big plasterer, but that fight is off. He has engagements in the mean time ' at Tacoma, Aberdeen and Spokane, and possibly at Butte," and he; would like mightily to get on one of the Portland boxing' shows at the armory. He'd draw, you can bet on. that.-, Fulton always draws 'em. "They can pick my - opponent," said Fred. "Brennan, Miske, any body. Jess Willard, if they can get him, would tickle me pink, though I think Jess-wants none of my game. Advertising, Autos Sporting News. NO. 53 Forward Pass Used Mucl , During Workout. NO STRAIN IS NOTICED Men Trot Off Field as it Tlicy Were Fresh as E ver J Corval- j i lis Is Ready for Clash. . By all odds the best looklfi scholastic football team that has been seen in practice this year on Multnomah field is that of Scott high school of Toledo, O., which went through signal plays yester day afternoon on a gridiron that was rain soaked and slow. Scotthigh school's field is said to be one of the fastest in the United States and despite the heivy condition of the Multnomah grid iron the Toledo team showed speed such as has not been equalled this year by any high school football eleven, or even varsity eleven, that has displayed its wares here. According to the information doled out by Toledo's coaches the team averages 160 pounds to the man. In action the boys appear much heavier. They go Jhrough their for mations with that dash and preci sion that is a sure indication of meticulous and painstaking efforts on the part of the coaching staff. Forward Pass Kxecuted. Despite the downpour of rain and the slippery ball, the Ohio boys ex ecuted a hundred or more forward passes and not more than a half dozen of these were incompleted. The receivers took the ball with un canny skill from all sorts of forma tions, long ones, short ones, rifle shot throws and well timed lobs, with Captain Bill Hunt on the hurtling end. ' All of the plays were carried off with a certainty born only of long practice and there wasn't more than a fumble or two In the hour that the players did their stuff. when Dr. W. A. Neill, head coach. called a halt on the afternoon's ac tivities the players trotted off the field without evincing a sign of the exertion they had been put through. They not only are well coached, but trained to the minute. Little Cor vallis will have the toughest game of its life when Referee Dolan whistles the opposing elevens into action tomorrow afternoon on Bell field at Corvallis at 1:30. The Toledo team has two assist ant coaches besides Dr. Neill. They are "Fighting Bob" Crowell, quarter on the Syracuse varsity in the three vears ending with 1921, and Garry Clash, guard on the same team dur ing that time. Dr. Neilr. who played four years for Whitman college !n the days when Nig Borleske, the greatest half back the northwest ever knew. was the star of the missionary eleven, afterwards went to the Unl- verslty of Pennsylvania and his sys tem of coaching closely follows that of the Penn coaches of that period. "I played with Pennsylvania, says Dr. Neill, "till I was protested by the trainer of Penn State s foot ball team. The man who stopped me at the Philadelphia college was none other than Bill Martin, an old classmate at Whitman. Bill had me ruled off the gridiron when he told the officials of Pennsylvania that I had played four years of college football out west." Incidentally there is no doubt that the Toledo gridders are the cham pions of every section but the far west, that Is, if comparative scores r-.ean anything. Scott high school defeated Waite high of Toleoo in its final game of the regular season and before that "one or the other of these two teams had taken on the intersectional leaders of every section of the country except the Pacific slope and won their games by decisive scores. Champions Are Conquered. Among the teams Scott or Walts high triumphed over were the cham pions of Michigan and of the north western group of states, the New England states, the south and the middle west. Yesterday's workout was the last the Toledo players will take. They are to be the guests of the Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary club today on a trip up the Columbia highway. The Chamber of Commerce ten dered them a luncheon yesterday. This afternoon at 4 o'clock the Toledo party's special car will be hooked onto a train leaving for Cor vallis. Following the game with Corvallis tomorrow afternoon, the easterners will be entertained at a dinner dance given by the valley town high school. They will leave Corvallis shortly after midnight on thetr return trip to Toledo, via Cali fornia. Latest figures given out by the coaches of the eastern and west ern rivals show that Toledo's eleven averages 160 pounds and Corvallis 150 pounds. Corvallis Team la Ready. Undeterred by the disparity in weight or by the formidable reputa tion of Toledo, Corvallis finished its preparation for the greatest in terscholastio event In Oregon's his tory by taking a five-mile cross country jaunt yesterday afternoon. Every player of the home-town bunch is in the best condition of his career. "Notwithstanding Toledo's weight and speed and the advantage It has gained by having a plethora of coaches for Its line and back field, Corvallis' fighting gridders are not in the least disconcerted," says Coach Kean. "They do not know whether they can win, but they haven't the slightest semblance of nerves and will go into the gams expecting to play at top speed and fully determined to take advantage of the minutest break that comes their way. I am counting on the. wonderful fighting spirit of my boys, their speed and lnteiligenca more than on any knowledge of the game I may have been able to give them to come out victorious." Officials for tomorrow afternoon's game will be: Sam Dolan, referee; Vincent Borleske, umpire and R. B. Ruzek, head linesman. Chicago Gets Races. Chicago will stage a six-day bi cycle race next March. ; iTOLEOO GRID TEAM 1 DISPLAYS SPEED
