THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAT, NOVEMBER 23, 1020 13 LITTLE CI MEE! AFFORD DEFEAT MOW Beating by Boy McCormick Would Hurt Future. CLOWN MUST USE FISTS Opponent Determined to Iand Knockout Blow, So It's Tp to Phat to Be on Edge. BY DICK SHARP. Willie Meehan. Pacific coast heavy weight champion, can . ill afford to drop a decision, to Boy McCormick, light-heavyweight champion of Eng land, when they clash over the ten round route at the Milwaukie arena tomorrow night. Phat Willie has two matches sched uled in the northwest to follow his eet-to with McCormick, and to have the stuffing knocked out of him would cost him much more than the decision. First Meehan is slated to battle old decrepld Jim Flynn in Se attle next Tuesday night. Next Wil lie is lined up to battle "Tiny" Her man in Tacoma the following week on a Thursday night. With a soft fight like that with Flynn in the offing it would be a sad blow to lose the match. Although Meehan may be a clown and all that, he can fight if he wants to and fight hard. The only thing that has ever been Willie's manager's trouble has been to find something to make Meehan fight. If anything would hurt Willie it would be to lose his figure. So get ting down -to the end of the line of reasoning, Meehan has to win or get a draw tomorrow night to keep busy up this way. McCormick is eet to put over a knockout if he can and crowd Meehan at every stage of the scrap. The battling Mick is In great condi tion and hitting like a, trip hammer. Meehan Is toughs but they all go down if they get hit hard enough on the point, and Boy is going to level on Willie. The rest of the card follows: Billy Mascott vs. Ray Rose, bantamweight, eight rounds; George Eagels vs. Roy Sutherland, lightweight, six rounds; Mike De Pinto vs. Young Joe Miller, six rounds; Mickey Dempsey vs. Jimmy Willis, four rounds. I Georges Carpentier, upon arriving In France, informed his friends that the bout between Jack Dempsey and himself for the heavyweight cham pionship of the world would not last more than nine rounds. Some one told dempsey of Georges' statement and champion remarked.: ' . does he mean, nine rounds? I'll . .iect on that Frenchman's chin In the first round, and if I jjon't knock him for a goal, he can have the cham pionship." Tommy Robson, the Boston middle weight who fought George Shade in San Francisco last Friday night, has one that should be set up in type: Robson has met them all and on ne occasion lost a close decision to Mike O'Dowd, former middleweight champion. In the first round O'Dowd butted Robson over his right eye and booked him with a rfght hand and closed the left. Tommy was almost blind during the entire battle and in the sixth round staggered to his corner. Benny Murphy, his manager, asked him how he felt. "Right In the pink," squawked Tommy, "but I can't see this egg. It looks to me like there are three men In front of me instead of one." Murphy kept sponging him off and then asked: "How d" mean, three men? Are they standing next to each other in a line or up on each other's shoulders?" "No, they're standing horizontal," replied Tommy, "right next to each other." Murphy looked at O'Dowd and then at Tommy. "Sorry, buddie," he said, "but I can't do you no good. If they was standing on each other's shoulders I'd tell you to "soak" the bottom guy, but with three in a row you should have brought your mowing machine." Bud Ridley, the Seattle feather weight, knocked out Frankle Howard of Chicago in the first round or ccheduled four-round go at Bremer ton. Wash., the other night. Howard lias been " in Portland for several months and trained here for the Rid ley scrap. He lost to Baby Blue at the Heilig theater last month. Chick Johnson, Harvey Thorpe's nanager. is back in Portland after stormy, session in California. Thorpe . was barred in San Francisco for using foul tactics against Frank Haynie and ivot a draw with Bert Colima in Los Angeles. Thorpe went back to Kansas City after the Colima fight. He wanted to fce on hand to challenge the winner of the Jack Brltton-Morrls Lux go last Thursday night. Dick Morris, the other boxer Johnson has here, also returned home. Joe Simonich of Butte, Mont., will tweet Travie Davis of Everett, Wash., tn tonight's main event in Seattle. Bimonich has boxed Johnny Tillman a IB-round draw and beaten other good boys. Both the Milwaukie and Portland fcoxing commissions have made over tures to Welterweight Champion Jack Britton. as yet without avail. If used here his opponent would be Johnny McCarthy. Sam Langford, negro heavyweight fs due to arrive here today from Chi cago. Sam will headline the Decem ber 3 card under the auspices of the Portland boxing commission. Freddie Corkru, thought to be the j signals. . The Whitman diminutive quarter weighs only 128 pounds. The ends will probably be filled by "Buzz" Schroeder and Ray Dean at left and I right. Other positions will be Burks, I center. Emlgrh and Blacktnan, guards, J and Comrada and Haritage, tackles. FORWARD PASS - CRITICISED Percy Haugrhton Declares Game Is Turning to Basketball. BOSTON, Nov. 22. A suggestion for curbing the forward pass, to prevent development of present-day football into a game more nearly resembling basketball, has been advanced by Percv D. Haughton, founder of Har vard's gridiron coaching system. "Instead of having an incompleted forward pass revert to the team which started the play, make a for ward pass blocked behind the thrower's line of scrimmage subject to recovery by opponents under the same conditions ae a blocked kick," Is Haughton's idea.

CANADIANS WIDEN LEAD Team Halts on Way to Meet Vni versity of Nebraska Squad Thanksgiving Say. j DENVER, Colo., Nov. 22. (Special.) The Washington State college foot ball team had a two-hour workout 1Mb afternoon on Broadway field in preparation for their game Thursday with University of Nebraska, at Lin Coin, Neb. Denver university, which has charge of the field, even went so far in its hospitality as to offer to give the Welchmen a scrim mage. The offer was turned down by Athletic Director Bohler, on the grounds that injuries might result that would slow up his team at Lin coln. The only man on the team who isn't in tip top shape is Moe Sax, slippery little 145-pound quarter, who is still nursing a sprained foot from the Oregon Agricultural college game ten days ago. The sprain is on the mend, hodwever, and the plucky little field general took his workout with the rest of the squad. All of the men complained of fatigue tonight owing to the 3000-foot difference in altitude between Pullman and Denver. Lincoln is about the same level as Pullman and no difficulty Is expected there in that regard. The weather here is very mild, In fact no stormy weather has been en countered since the team left Pull man Saturday morning. The team lined up today for signal practice as follows: Right end, Bo hanson; right tackle, Dunston; right guard, McKay: center, 19. Dunlap; left guard, George; left tackle. Captain Hamilton; left end, Loomis; quarter, Sax; right half, Mclvor; left half, Sandberg; full back, Gillis. The party will get to Lincoln tomorrow.

Canadian Vets 4 0 18 Clan Macleay 113 6 Kerns -. 1 1 3 5 Peninsula 113 5 Multnomah pilar d 1 2 2 4 Stanaifers O 3 2 2 The Canadian veterans soccer team lightened its hold on first place tn iiie Portland soccer league Sunday :Uternoon on the Reed college grounds by legistering a 4-to-l defeat over the speedy Kerns team. The other two games played Sunday resulted in deadlocked scores. The Multnomah Guard and Peninsula teams battled to a 1-to-l tie on Columbia park field, while Clan Macleay and Standifer played a no-score tie at the Franklin bowl. Playing before the largest number of spectators at the college grounds this season, the Kerns team, thanks to a strong wind behind them, had most of the play in the beginning. At the end of 25 minutes' play, Ferguson scored for Kerns with 'a fine shot. After this reverse the Vets began to swing into their stride and after bom burding the Kerns goal for some time, Wilkinson scored a; goal. Within a few minutes the Vets added to their score, when James Forsythe tallied. After crossing over the Vets con tinued to have most of the play and hammered away at the Kerns goal, which was well served by the young goalkeeper, Tauscher. The winners were not to be denied and by keeping up the pressure, Demmon and Wilkin son were successful in adding to the total. It would be hard to detail the out standing players on the Vets' side. Tliomasson at goal was sound. The backs. Jack Forsythe and Jeffreys, put up a great exhibition, the half backs, Colgan, Harold Eyklbosch and Swan played a determined game, while the forwards played the Kerns' de fense off their feet. P'or Kerns,-Tauscher at goal played a good game, with Ferguson and Bar hour starring in the forward line. It is interesting to note that the Vets have three sets of brothers playing on tneir team, George and Jack Swan Karold and Cyril Eyklbosch and Jack and James Forsythe. The lineup follows: Scrimmage Halted Prior to Game With Whitman. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem Nov. 2. (Special.)

Rarey, Wapato, Socolofsky Law son and Ramsey, all of whom have been nursing broken bones or sprains, seen? to be in good shape again. Carpentier Posts Guarantee. PARIS. Nov. 22.

He charges a raw deal all around and has formally protested to league officials the goal scored by the Peninsula team, saying that the ball was fisted out of his goalkeep er's hands, 'which made it a foul. A bunch of rabid followers of the Feninsula team who are always on hand when the club plaj s at -Columbia Park insisted upon invading the field of play frequently, which gummed the. works. The first half was very well played, with the Multnomah -Guards having a slight advantage In the going. After ten minutes of play Bragg at left half for the Guards lobbed a shot into the goal mouth, which Windsor promptly converted for the first goal. Play from then on was very even, with first one goal and then the other getting narrow shaves. Half time Guards 1. Peninsula 0, Upon resuming, the Guards had hard lines in not scoring. The Pe ninsula players came away with a dash and by good teamwork kept the Guarasmen penned in for 20 minutes, but because of the stubborn defense of the Guards could not register. The Peninsula boys showed strong dislike tor captain Webster of the Guards, whose 225 pounds of avoirdupois was a bit too much for them. At one time there was a show of fists and free-for-all was narrowly averted. i For the Guards, Fairhurst and BASF.B VTTj TRADES RUMORED Cuds Secretary . Says Alexander Report Is Foolish.
