ON FOUL If SEVENTH
Low Blow by Levinsky Sends
Irishman Down in Pain.
SCRAP EVEN UP TO THEN
l'irtt Time, Declares Clever Phila
delphia n, la 300 Bouts lie
Ever Lost on a Foul.
liV DICK SHARP.
Boy McCormick, light-heavyweight
champion of Kngland, was awarded
a decision over Battling Levinsky of
1'liiladelphia on a foul in the seventh
round of their scheduled 10-round
battle at tho .Milwaukie arena last
night. The low blow, a right upper
cut struck by Levinsky, was unin
tentional. According to the Battler's
handler it is the first time In Levin
f ky's career that he ever lost a fight
on a foul and he has taken part in
tome CUO bouts.
The ending of the bout was the
Hidden climax to what was warming
tjo to be one thrilling scrap. From
the finst round, when JBoy McCor
mick lowered his hands to his sides
n nd asked Levinsky to come in and
fight, to tho final punch, the match
was replete with action.
As for being through or anything
of that kind, the former light-heavy-Tvel.ht
champion of the world is far
from that. Levinsky showed a world
cf class in the boxing and fighting
department. Only rhe fact that he
w a.s meeting one of the toughest and
Ftubhornest boxers in the game kept
him from making it his fight to the
end.
Levinsky IS Pounds Ileavlrr.
Boy gave away IS pounds in weight
fo a wonderful scrapper and gave the
fcclf-i-anie boxer as much fight as he
wanted' to take. In the first round
McCormick begged Levinsky to come
in and battle and along about the
third Levin-sky began to oblige Boy.
McCormick had tho shade in the
first round. He started after I-evin-tky
with a rush and rained' in blows
from every angle. Some of them
caught Levinsky square and others
he caught on his arms, but McCor
mick had reached him.
Tho second found both boxing
cautiously and do.nc.ing In and out.
If anyone had a sha-de it was Mc
Cormick. He did all the leading
throughout the round and 1n fact
nearly all the leading through the
seven rounds. Levinsky wanted Mc
Cormick to lead and' left it all up
to the fighting Irishman, who was
willing enough.
The third was even with Levinsky
boxing cleverly and countering to Mc
cormick's leads. He brought a
straight left -and a right to the body
into play and bothered McCormick.
Hoy crowded Levinsky at every angle,
but had to take some punches to get
through Levinsky's defense.
Hoy Rocked by Left Hook.
Levins-ky's best round was the
fourth, when he caught McCormick on
the side of the jaw with a left hook
that sent Boy reeling back and for a
second dazed. McCormick? rallied and
fought back like a tiger.. Levinsky's
boxing ability and weight advantage
told heavily in this round, but he
didn't have the stuff in his mitt to
follow up the punch, that rocked Mc
Cormick. The sixth found McCormick still
rushing and Levinsky boxing his way
through and bursting in frequently
with flashes of form that made him
look the better of the two in that
round, but not enough so to entitle
him to tho edge. He caught McCor
mick with several straight lefts to
the nose and in the clinches drove in
rights to McCorraick's ribs. McCor
mick was cool and kept on leading
with both hands trying to catch, Le
vinsky flush.
In the. sixth. McCormick claimed
that he -was hit low but did not
slacken his pace. The two fought
from corner to corner. Levinsky hit
McCormick but couldn't dent the
flamins-maned battler. McCormick
rushed Levinsky to the ropes several
times with. Levinsky outsmarting his
"way out.
Hnrd Smart Vndfr tte Belt.
The seventh round had been under
way but a short time when Levinsky
caught McCormick below the belt
with a right upper-cut. The blow
was absolutely unintentional. McCor
mick dropped to his knees In pain
and had to be assisted to his corner
by Referee Tom Loutltt, who had
raised his hand the minute he was
Hit.
Dr. Earl Smith, coroner of Multno
mah county, and Dr. o. P. Low of
Milwaukie, examined McCormick im
mediately after the blow and an
nounced that he had been fouled.
The ten-round semi-windup was not
much to speak of. Harlan Bunker,
young San i'rancisco heavyweight,
carried too many guns for Joe Bonds
and sunk the former sailor in the
fourth round. Bonds took a flock of
punches on the chin in the fourth and
his seconds threw in the towels. Bonds
is getting too old to fight.
The greatest fight on the card, an
other of those "greatest ever fought
here," was the six-round special event
between Frankie Murphy. Denver wel
terweight, and Lloyd Madden of Se
attle. Madden accepted the match on
a day's notice and took one of the
grandest lacings ever dealt out to a
man. But how he did fight back.
Some Scrap, This One.
Murphy and Madden stood toe-to-toe
and slugged through the six
rounds. Frankie hit Madden on the
chin with enough lefts and rights
to put an ordinary scrapper away for
months. The Seattle boy just stood
up and took what he had coming
and tried his best to rally every time
and put Murphy out of commission.
Referee Tom Loutitt justly gave
Murphy the decision at the end of the
six torrid rounds of give and take.
Mickey Dempsey whistled through
Battling Purdy like a. North Dakota
wind through a pair of Palm Beach
trousers. He stowed Purdy away in
the second round of their scheduled
six-round bout. The first was even.
In the second Dempsey got even for
anything Purdy hit him with in the
first. A right uppercut turned the
trick.
In the four-round curtain raiser
Bert Taylor scored a technical knock
out when Referee Loutitt stopped his
match with Jack Allison In the third.
Allison was defenseless and Loutitt
used good judgment. They are light
heavyweights. "WRESTLERS FALL OUT WINDOW

ALL-PACIFIC COAST ELEVEN
INCLUDES RARE OLD BIRDS
While Football Writers Indulge Eccentric Talents of Naming Premier
Stars of .Season Many "Cracks" Are Overlooked.
BT L. H. GREGORY.
IN response to enormous pressure
we finally have decided to relent
from our previously announced
lowbrow stand, play ball with the
other sporting writers and give the
general public the benefit of our ex
pert advice in selecting an all-Pacific
coast football eleven.
We were practically threatened
with ostracism by fellow writers un
less we quit crabbing the game and
defying custom by declining to pick
an all-coast team. Not desiring to
suffer so dreadful a penalty we have
concluded to come through and com
pete for the iron-rimmed spectacles.
Needless to say, under the circum
stances we have not tried to be neu
tral in selecting this mythical eleven,
Ijjit have endeavored to make it as
mythical and mystical as possible. In
this we believe we have succeeded.
Any gent dissatisfied with our se
lections can pick an eleven of his
own. He probably will do that any
how, for no home is complete now
adays without an all-coast or all
American team of its own selecting,
to be served with beer of its own
brewing.
Well, mates, zero hour has come.
Here we go:
Center Sergeant Alvln C. Yorke.
This bird is nol so heavy as the
usual run of cenrs, but is willing
to waive that formality, inasmuch as
the heavier they are the harder they
fall when he gets a bead on them. He
gels the ball away very fast from
any make of Gat.
Left guard Leon Trotzky.
The argument may be made that
Trotzky is too far away from the Pa
cific coast, but that makes no dif
ference to deponent, as Trot, ol' boy.
no doubt would1 come to the coast if
his amateur standing were guaran
teed. One of the best guards Russia
ever had. Sure death to opponents.
Right guard Major-General Hunter
Liggett.
General Liggett delivered the final
smash at the Huns, and after that no
ordinary opponent should worry him
much. Being a major-general, he is
certain to play a star game at all
times.
Left tackle Mayor George L. Baker.
. There's nothing this bird won't
tackle. And as for defensive work.
If somebody will post . cameraman
on the field with Instructions to point
his camera at the mayor, his honor
will stand like a stone wall to the
last plate.
Right tackle Sam Langford.
Old Sam can hit 'em in the line or
on the jaw, it makes no difference
to him. And when he hits 'em he
knocks 'em for a goal. He will box
any tackle in the game and Is always
good for a touchdown after the sixth
round. .
Left end Rabindranath Tagore.
This celebrated Hindu poet has
blocked more end runs with his poetry
than any guy living. They never get
around him.
Right end Vilhaljmur Steffanson.
Opposing players are sure to get
caught in the ice if they try anything
around his end. Never yet been
frozen on his feet.
Quarterback and captain Harry
Tracey.
All the sheriffs and police depart
ments of three states couldn't stop
Tracey when he started. A bearcat
for directing plays certain to make
yardage. Good for a couple of miles
every time he starts, and absolutely
perfect in open field running. Would
make any team in the world.
Left halfback Newton Diehl Baker.
One of the most remarkable men
at interference America has produced.
His fumbling would bar him ordi
narily, but he always recovers the
ball and holds it. Keeps the boys
constantly guessing as to his next
move.
Right halfback Albert Sidney
Burleson.
Has made his letter eight years
hounsarl, who landed on top of Evans,
escaped with a few scratches.
The match had gone 11 minutes
when the accident happened. The
pair pressed close to the edge of the
mat when one of the wrestlers ap
parently lost his balance and fell
through a large pane of glass, drag
ging his opponent with him.
Evans revived shortly after the fall
and was taken to a. local hospital
where his wounds were dressed.

service never once has made yardage

..
Fullback Senator Hiram Johnson.
The republican convention sent the
senator all the way back, but he
wouldn't be downed and already has
recovered his lost yardage and then
some. His great kicking . ability
makes him the natural choice for
punting on this team. He can drop
kick, place-kick or kick at any time
or place at the drop of a hat.
This to our mind Is positively the
greatest collection of all-stars ever
named on one aggregation. It would
be waste of time even to think of a
second team with this lineup on the
field. One beauty about them is that
they don't require any coach or
trainer. The boys do their own coach
ing and are always in training. They
might be a trifle weak In team play,
but their great individual work would
get them by In any game.
Jim Thorpe, the great . Carlisle
Indian player, in his time considered
the star of them all. Is playing pro
fessional football nowaday. - His
team, the Qanton Bulldogs, recently
was defeated 7 to 3 on the Polo
Grounds in New York by the Buffalo
All-Stars, before 12.000 people.
Thorpe kicked - a field goal and
made a 45-yard run, the longest of
the game. But a young Buffalo player,
Youngstrom by name, with Dartmouth
last year, blocked one of Thorpe's
punts in the third period on the 15
yard line, seized the ball and got
away for a touchdown. Thorpe swept
down on Youngstrom to tackle him
but Wray, a former Pennsylvania
star, put the Indian out of the way.
"To single out the stars of such a
game is impossible." says an ac
count of the battle in a New York
paper. "Two teams of greats, the
players were great. They tackled
hard; the Interference was splendid,
and rone of them seemed to have
lost any ability. The play for the
most part was conservative. The lines
were equally matched and the result
was that each team was able to make
only a few yards by rushing. Both
resorted occasionally to the forward
pass, but neither team was. successful
fin the last few minutes Thome made
a desperate effort to win out. He
tried a series of tremendous passes
but none of them worked."
The Big Ten conference at its recent
schedule meeting took a decided stand
in the controversy over numbering of
players by ordering that all Big Ten
football players hereafter must be
numbered. The demand for number
ing had become so strong this sea
son that the Illinois coach, who seems
to be a rare sport, voluntarily num
bered his players, even when coa.cb.es
of opposing teams would not.
Dr. Larry Williams at Minnesota
has been the bitter-ender against
numbering among the western con
ference coaches. But from now on
his cantankerous attitude on the
subject will get him nowhere, for
the "coach who tries to slip in an
unnumbered player will run 'the risk
of forfeiting his game. Williams, in
cideutally, had an awful year at
Minnesota.. He lost every conference
game. Dr. Williams was the mentor
under whom Gil Dobie learned foot
ball, i
Two of the Big Ten colleges. Perdue
and Indiana, have signed contracts
with Notre Dame for return games
next season. - The other colleges very
tactfully ignore Notre Dame, which
by many is considered to have the
strongest football eleven in the coun

both had dates with her this season
and Notre Dame cleaned up on both
of them, though Indiana gave her the
toughest game she has had in a long

Portland Fighter Wrangles Weeks
Before Signing Up With.
Los Angeles Boj-.
After a week of heated debate and
wrangling over the weight, Joe Gor
man, Portland's most popular boxer.
has consented to box Al Grunan of
Los Angeles at 133 pounds over the
ten-round route in the main event of
next -Wednesday night' scard at the
Heilig theater.
Several weeks ago Gorman came
out with the statement, which was
published in the afternoon dailies,
that he was ready to battle the light
weights first come first served. It
seems that by lightweights Joe meant
someone weighing 130 pounds, who
might be classed as a cross between
a featherweight and the next class up
the fistic ladder.
Grunan as an opponent was broached
to Joe and right away the kewpie
wanted to know 'what weight Grunan
was going to make. As Grunan
understood that Gorman was open to
fight lightweights, he couldn't figure
otrt where Gorman had any Come on
about the weight as long as he made
the recognized limit.
Gorman heid out for Grunan to
make 130 pounds at 3 o'clock the day
of the fight, and there the matter
stood until yesterday, when, after some
ungentle persuasion on the part of
Matchmaker Bobby Evans, Uoe agreed
to battle Grunan, with the stipulation
that the clever Los Angejes boxer
make 133 pounds.
A ten-round semi-windup, two six
round special events and a four-round
curtain raiser will round out the card.
Tiny Herman, the big heavyweight,
who lost to Sam Langford last week,
will battle some big boy in the semi
final. Griman will be the first really for
midable opponent that Gorman has
fought around here since he tackled
Young Brown. Even at 133 pounds
there should not be a great deal of
difference in weight between the two
boxers, and it is hard to find good
lightweights who can even make 133
pounds.
Frank E. Watkins. chairman of the
Portland boxing commission, made a
declaration yesterday that no San
Francisco boxers who might wend
their way to Portland, now that the
game is on the q. t. down south, would
be used on. cards here unless they had
with them a clean biTT of character

GRIDIRON SCHEDULE
OF 1921 CANCELED
University of Washington Re
pudiates Conference.
OREGON GAMES OPPOSED
Four Official Contests by Eugene
and Corvallls, Assigned at Berke
ley, Cal., Makes Trouble.
SEATTLE. Wash., Dec. 9. Cancella
tion of the 1921 Pacific cpast confer
ence football schedule was announced
at noon by Professor Leslie J. Ayer,
chairman of the University of Wash
ington faculty athletic committee and
secretary of the conference.
He said the schedule might be voted
back at a later date, but that the con
tinued opposition to four conference
games by the University of Oregon
and Oregon Agricultural college made
it Impossible to abide by the action
of the conference committee taken at
Berkeley, Cal.. last week.
The only significance to the an
nouncement of Professor Ayer of the
University of Washington relative to
cancellation of the four-game foot
bal; conference schedule is that he
has waked up to the fact, as pub
lished in The Qrcgonian last Sunday,
that before the conference meeting
adjourned last week the four-game
schedule was hove overboard in favor
o? the old three-game automatic
schedule as previously adopted,
October Games rl'h rown Out,
This means that all games sched
uled for October 22 under the four
game arrangement are thrown out.
The games canceled automatically
are the following: Washington State
college vs. University of California,
at Berkeley; University of Oregon vs.'
Stanford, at Palo Alto, and University
of Washington vs. Oregon Agricul
tural college ,at Seattle.
.This leaves Washington's three
conference games those against Cali
fornia at Berkeley, November 5;
against University of Oregon at Se
attle, November 12, and against
Washington State college at Seattle,
November 24.
However, there is nothing in the
conference rules prohibiting Wash.
Ington and Oregon Agricultural col
lege from getting together on their
October 22 game again, if they so
desire.
Northern Colleges Responsible.
The four-game schedule was dis
carded due to the opposition of -the
northern colleges, because under it
they had to play their games against
University of California and Stanford
early in the season, when every ad
vantage of climate, training and con
dition would favor California. The
university at Berkeley opens in the
middle of August, while the northern
colleges (Jo not begin their school
year until near the end of September.
This automatically gives California,
as will be observed, a month and a
half's head start in football training.
The northern colleges would still
have been glad to follow the four
game schedule, however, but for the
further fact that. California and Stan
ford, always staging their traditional
"big game" on the Saturday just pre
ceding Thanksgiving, demand also
ths.t they shall have open dates on
the Saturday before that game, so as
to give them two weeks of rest.
Southern Teams Favored.
This made it necessary for all
games between northern and south
ern colleges to be scheduled early in
the season, when the southerners
would be at the top of their form,
but with the northerners in the form
ative stage. That .was why the north
ern colleges objected to the Tour
game schedule.
HOWARD TO HEAD 1921 TEAM
Varsity Left End .Chosen Captain
of Oregon Football Squad.
' UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene.
Or.. Dec. 8. Special.) Martin How
ard varsity left-end or the last two
seasons. 4 was chosen as captain for
the 1921 football season, at the var
sity football banquet held last night.
Howard has played three years of
college football with Oregon, two sea
sons at left-end on the varsity, and
one season at the same place on the
Student Army Training corps team. He
Is a junior in college, and has one
more year of varsity football to play.
He Is from Portland, having played
with Jefferson High school in that
city before entering college.
Coach Huntington spoke on the
prospects for next year's team. He
said that the chances were that Ore
gon would have a very strong eleven.
The chief Jhing that will have to be
done, however, according to Hunting
ton, is to see that all the freshmen
football men who are in college this
year , return next season. He closed
his talk by thanking the team for the
way they had worked during the past
year.
President Campbell spoke on the
way the eastern teams played foot
ball. He has seen a good' many games
on his trips east this year, and he is
emphatic in stating that the brand
of ball put out there is no better
than that of the west. He saw the
game between Ohio State and Chi
cago, and on the strength of that
game says that he believes that Cali
fornia will be able fo defeat the Buck
eye state products when they make
their pilgrimage out west in January.
"The biggest financial, year yet,"
said Manager McClan, who had charge
of football this year. According to
McClan, the football season cleared
for -the university about $23,000, as
contrasted with the $15,000 of last
year. He is planning to enlarge the
seating capacity of Hayward field so
that it will accommodate far more
than at present. He is expecting a
crowd of about 20,000 to see the Ore-gon-O.
A. C. game, which will be
played at' Eugene next year.
Bill Hayward, in his speech, pre
dicted that there would be a split at
the meeting of the Pacific northwest
conference at Spokane nxt Friday
and Saturday. - He believes that, due
to the difference in climatic condi
tions under which the southern teams
and the northern teams play, that the
conference should be divided. Hay
ward predicts that there will be a
northern conference of Oregon, Wash
ington, Washington State college and
Oregon Agricultural college, and an
other conference of Montana, Tdaho,
Nevada and Utah.' He further be
lieves that Stanford, California and
the University of Southern California
will make up a conference of their
own. In behalf of the executive coun
cil Lyle BrVson sayl that the women
of the university appreciated the
work of the team this season.

This is only one of eight exclusive Richmond features.
Ask the salesman to chow you the other seven.
