STANFORD STADIUM. Cat. -. Dec SOA-Stanford's inability ,. to hold , onto the ball at critical Junctures gave Pittsburg a touchdown and a goal from field in their Intersectlonal clash here today. . - Stanford's rmArkawe - last' period fight gained a touchdown for the West ; in this East-West battle. The final score was Pittsburg 16, Stanford 7, and the final summing up of both, teams by the critical custom ers was to the' effect that Stanford never played worse football for three quarters and played up to the best . standards '.of Stanford competition during the final quarter. "From, this last display of Stanford's fight an - Stanford's spirit, - supporters of -, the - Cardinals may take small comfort.. -, CABBS BM3IEBVEB . -Stanford seemed nnn erred through out the first half of the game, not that the Cardinals were afraid of their ' Blue and Gold opponents from the .Far - East, but rather- that v the " western team too folly realized the task it had in hand In meeting the highly touted eleven from the East. -, 1 ' "They never played worse football all season.' said a Stanford man with in our hearing "not even during the i JSt, Mary game, which was the worst of aU." That just about sums up the situation during the opening half.,. -The first period was a, scoreless card, but Pittsburg stood out over Stanford like a chunk of radium over a bar of soap. The period ended with Pittsburg . In - possession r of the , ball - on the two-yard line and on the Very 1 first play of the. second period Hewitt, Pitts line devastating fullback. plunged over for the first touchdown. Williams added the extra point- It was a fumble by Cuddeback In the first quarter that had paved ths way for the score, Another Stanford fumble within the . shadow of the Stanford goal - posts 'gave Pitt a second chance. ''But the Cards were fighting.-now their nerv ' uusness had given place to a certain amount of confidence. v The line with stood-Pitt's driving attack and Wll hams was forced to kick. His place kick, foil soai from the 20-yard line was successful and the half ended with .Pitt 10 points in the lead. - 8H0BT PASSES HELP ' Stanford's work 5 was better in the third period.' v The " forward passing . tactics that scored such, decisive gains for. the Easterners were not Quite so effective. Though Pitt threatened Stanford held and the quarter was scoreless. But Pitt could not Ions be denied. Short passes, a favored form of at- tack, gained valuable yards. Flanagan to Anderson, or vice versa was the common thing. Then Hewitt, who is a real fullback, would crash through for substantial gains. A perfectly "' ' euted pass, , Anderson to Flanagan, with '-. superb interference -.. for the passer. - rave Pitt , Its second " touch down early in the last Quarter. The pass .was short, but Flanagan ran 30 yards to cross the goal line. - Williams missed the goal kick. . Then came Stanford's wonderful last minute drive. : Cuddeback, who ' had not shown with any particular briHian- ' cy. suddenly., showed a burst of speed. - Cuddeback reeled off two substan tial sains through the line. Eel lowed a snappy pass. Dennis to Camp belL Pittsburg held -tor two' downs -, - and then Dennis " caromed ; off. an' anxious tacklers shoulder that saved Stanford from disgrace. Cuddeback's " trusty boot added the extra point. put tried : hard to score again but Stanford was playing .real football. , The Cards halted the attack In thefir own territory, then recklessly began to forward pass into enemy ground. m - Two such passes were completed and Stanford had the ball in mldf ield when the Intersectlonal contest came to an end.

' For one thing, it appears today as though Willard is likely to get into politics in New York. rTom O'Rourke, who celebrated nis rise to public of fice by bedeviling a poor humble news paper man and, as a consequence was derrlcked out of his post, on the New York athletic commission, ohas got a lot of friends In this city.' Tom is a Democrat and his friends are Demo crats.

Also- Jess Willard. ; - , The jsesent athletic commission headed by . William . Muldoon some months ago placed an age limit on boxers, saying no. fighter over St years of age may indulge in bout la. New Tork 'tatov:--ifeiAi; O'Rourke rises te ask where Mul doon gets - that stuff, affirming that Billy ' Muldoon himself . was 'wrestling at a more advanced age than that and intimating that i If - Muldoon' doesn't look-out: he may learn he is beyond the age limit for boxing commissioners.- 'fi-'v-.'yt ''..Kv' f'7f-T" i,&C5;, : v : O'Rourke also states positively that the fans can rest assured that Wil lard and Dempsey will meet at the Polo Grounds next summer. Prospects of the battle are having a wonderful effect upon WUIard. He is getting younger every day. According to esti mates he was close to 40, if not older, when he met Dempsey at Toledo. Now comes word from the west coast that Jess is Just J7. Ain't It wonderful? BIO FIJL5S 15 XAKJjifi , . It is significant that of all the pro motors Tom O'Rourke.. Is the only one who is doing any talking. Some big plans are to progress. Tex Rickaf d has a great project." But all except O'Rourke are lying low until they see what Governor Smith Intends to do to the makeup of the athletic commis sion. This means either that OTFtourke's Democratic friends have banded him some straight tips or else that he is possessed of a very hopeful mature. Inside dope argues that Tom has been hearing things straight and that New Tork can look forward to seeing the champion of the home for the aged and champion f the world in a key stone comedy next summer.
