The trade was engineered by
Colonel Jacob Ruppert and Harry

announced no money was involved in
the transaction. The trade was made
on the condition that both clubs as
sume the responsibility of signing
the players.
Pratt Mar Not Play.
Del Pratt is the only one of the
players about whom there seems to
be doubt about playing next season
He signed a contract as athletic coach
with a western university at the con
clusion of last season and declared
his intention to quit baseball. The
Yankee management, however, today
expressed confidence that Pratt will
play next season.
Manager Huggins said the deal was
made primarily to give each club a
player that both were badly in need
of. Boston wanted a second baseman
and gets Pratt, while New York need
ed an experienced left-banded pitcher
and gets Harper.

Aggie Mentor Explains Difference Between Eastern and Western
Game; "Big 10" and "Big 3" Stress Attack, Which Means Faster Play.
JOE GORMAN KNOCKS
' BY L. H. GREGORY.
AT THE CLOSE of every football
season there always arises talk
to the effect that football as
played la the east and middle west is
faster than that on the Pacific coast.
Oregon helped to put a crimp in that
idea by holding Harvard to a 7 to
6 score at Pasadena last New Year's
day, and Washington State contrib
uted .still further by defeating Ne
braska 21 to 20 at Lincoln Thanks
giving day. Yet the belief still per
sists in many quarters.
What about it? Wherein, If In any
thing, does eastern and middle west
ern football have the edge on that
played on the coast. We asked these
questions the other day of Dick Ruth
erford, coach at Oregon Agricultural
college, who coached for a couple of
seasons in the middle west and before
that was for three years a star on the
championship eleven of the University
of Nebraska.
Rutherford, weighed his answer
long and carefully before he gave it.
Then he said something that so far
as we know has not been brought out
before in comparing the respective
merits of the coast and the east.
most cases the winning team has woe
through breaks in the game, not on
offensive tactics such as character
ized the playing of Dartmouth
against Washington.
"For all I know as yet, there may
be the very best reasons in the world,
such perhaps as the abundance of
rain In the football season, why de
fensive tactics predominate over
those of attack. I will know better
by the end of next season. We were
on the defensive ourselves last sea
son. "California is the notable exception
in the Pacific coast conference to the
general use of defensive tactics. Her
game is based on a powerful attack.
Keeping the offensive is the essence
of California's strategy and tactics
in a game.' She has a heavy line but
a very fast one which shows at its
best on the offensive. On defense it
is by no means leak-proof. For ex-

WALLA WALLA. Wash.. Dec. 15.
Organization of four intercollegiate
conferences on the Pacific coast. In
stead of the three now operated, has
been proposed by Vincent Borleske,
coach at Whitman college here. The
present conference system, with some
schools having membership in more
than one, fails to provide a fair means
of determining far-western Tootbau,
barketball. track and baseball Cham
ttionships. Borleske declared.
Two of the proposed organizations
would represent the north and the
other two the south. One northern
conference would Include the Uni
versity of Washington, University of
Oregon, the Oregon Agricultural col
lege, Willamette university and other
Oregon and Washington schools west
of the Cascade mountains. The other
would operate east of the mountains
and number Washington state col
lege, the University of Idaho. Whit
man college. University of Montana
and others.
In the south, one California con
ference would control territory of the
southern portion of the state, with
the University of California, Stanford
university, Santa Clara university
and others as members. The fourth
organization would be in southern
California and be made up of the
University of Southern California, Po
tnona college and others.
At present the Pacific Coast con
ference includes six of the larger in
stitutions of the three coast states,
with the Northwest conference cov
ering Oregon, Washington, Idaho and
Montana. The third organization, the
Southern California conference, in
cludes schools around Los Angeles.
Champions of the proposed four
conferences would play for their re
gional titles and the winners of the
northern and southern organization
titles would. meet to decide the coast
supremacy.

Coast League In Session.
LOS ANGELES, Dee. IB. John P.
Powers and Edward R. Maier, presi
dents respectively of the Los Angeles
and Vernon clubs of the Pacific Coast
Baseball league, left here tonight for
Sacramento to attend the annual
SBoeUax oX to le&gut directotsv ,
"The main difference In coast foot
ball as I have seen it played this
season, ,and thaf of the east and
middle west," said Rutherford, "seems
to me to be that teams out here em
phasize the defensive. The greater
part of their training is along defen
sive lines and their games are played
that way. Never have I seen better
defensive football than is played In
the Pacific Coast Conference. Virt
ually every team out here has a
strong defense.
"But on the other hand this stone
wall defense is developed to consid
erable extent at expense of attack.
In the east and middle west attack
gets "first call. This is particularly
the case in the middle west, which
to my mind plays faster football than
the east. Take the forward pass.
It Is unquestionably further developed
in the middle west than in the east
or coast. The mid-western coaches
are willing to take more chances with
it than the more conservative coaches
of the east.
"Not that I mean to imply that by
developing the attack more than the
defense, eastern and middle western
teams figure to get by on any old
kind of defense. Far be it from
that But their tactics in a game are
primarily tactics of attack, while on
the coast the tactics are primarily
those of the defense.
"To illustrate my point the Dart
mouth - University of Washington
game is a good example. Nobody can
say that Washington played a poor
game against Dartmouth, for she
didn't. She played a splendid game,
But it was almost entirely a defen
sive game. She had no sustained
power of attack, or versatility, and
lost when straight football failed to
gain. On defense she really had the
edge on Dartmouth.
"Yet Dartmouth won 28 to 7, and
won easily. Why? Because she
played first and last an offensive
game. When she couldn't gain on off-
tackle bucks, she would frequently
get by on end runs and if those did
not succeed she used bewildering for
ward passes, that amost invariably
gained. Her victory wasn't due to
luck. She was playing an offensive
game throughout a game in which if
one style of atack didn't succeed she
could Instantly switch to another.
"Dartmouth really didn't play east
ern lootbaii but middle western foot
ball. She had the middle western
snap and dash to all her plays. She
used -the forward pass like a western
eleven. That quick three-point shift
with which she masked her plays is
exactly the same shift that Notre
Dame and Nebraska and other elevens
back there use.
"incidentally, perhaps you noticed
that the Dartmouth line wasn't com
posed of great herculean fellows, but
rather of men of medium - heavy
weight who were fast. A team that
emphasizes offensive tactics must be
composed of fast men who can get
away quickly and play with dash.
The big fellows make fine defensive
material but they are frequently lack
ing in the speed necessary to a good
attack.
"I am new to the coast and nothing
herewith said is to be considered in
any way a criticism of coast football.
I am merely endeavoring to point out
what seems to me the main points ot
difference between coast football and
that played east of the Rockies.
"The tactics of games here, so far
as I have been able to observe, and
accounts I have read of games in
previous years seem to bear out the
conclusion, are essentially defensive.
Two teams will go along, each play
ing safe and depending for a break
to give It the opportunity to score.
If you will go back through scores of
the past season you will note that in
Coach Rutherford doesn't pick a
winner of the California-Ohio State
game at Pasadena on New Year's day.
"When it comes to the final test,"
he remarked, "the team with the bet
ter line will win that game. Ohio
State has a much better backfield
than California. If her line Is better
than California's I think she will
win. If not, California will win. But
to win that game Ohio State would
have to be quite a little better than
California. You simply can't discount
the effects of the long trip across the
continent and the hot sun under
which they will play."

BY DICK SHARP.
Five red hot battles crammed full
of torrid milling greeted the fistic
fans who were on hand at the Heilig
theater last night. - From the time
that Freddie Lough and Johnny Fu
gate stepped Into the ring and battled
to a four-round draw In the curtain
raiser until Joe Gorman lifted a left
hook to some spot on Al .Grunan's
body between the latter's shoe laces
and his chin, it was a darb of a show.
The main go of the evening was a
thrilling racket from the opening
gong to the sixth, when it came to a
suddqn termination. The round had
been under way a little more than a
minute when Gorman lifted a left
from the floor that caught Grunan
in the region . of the solar plexus.
Some said it was low, Grunan among
them. Others were staunch in pro
nouncing it a fair punch to the pit.
Grunan dropped to the floor in pain
from the effect of the wallop and lay
there. Instead of counting out
Referee Grover Francis stooped over
him and unloosened the belt around
his waist. Grunan writhed in pain
and was unable to rise to his feet.
The crowd was on its toes and clam
bering onto the stage from every dl
rectlon.
Referee Takes Time to Call It.
The fact that Gorman had hit Gru
nan rather low on the right side of
the groin several times previously
evidently left some doubt in the ref
eree's mind as to the finishing punch
Grunan was lifted to his corner still
uncounted while Timer George Par-
Ker rang tne beiL Doctor Sam Gellert,
for the Portland boxing commission
examined Grunan and said it was not
evident that Grunan had been fouled
so Francis walked over to Gorman's
corner and raised the fight-mad
Ji.ewpie'o hand in token of victory
What a battle It was up to the
nnish! urunan was there with the
boxing ability and landed many
clean punch, but Joe was as tough as
a Keg of nails and his wallops seemed
more effective than Grunan s.
Gorman has had some soft fights
in his day and he has had some tough
ones. He was in one of the tough ones
last night until it ended. Grunan s
weight was announced as 134 while
Gorman's was 133.
Some confusion arose at the start
when Gorman declined to shake hands
in the center of the ring after the
boys had received their instructions
from the referee. In justice to Gorman
it must be said that it was not be
cause he did hot care to shake hands
with Grunan that he backed away.
but a matter of his religion. He did
stick out his paws to shake when the
gong rang for the start of the bout.
Grunan Cleverer Boxer. '-
Grunan boxed carefully in the first
canto and took the round. Gorman was
unable to get anything at long range
Und only kidney blows were on his
list.
The second round found the two
warming up to the fray and was even.
Grunan easily outboxed Joe, but Gor
man's work in close and in the clinches
evened up the session,.
The third was a donnyorook, both
men opening up and letting drive with
everything they had on the ball.
Grunan caught Gorman flush on the
chin but couldn't slow up his opponent
for a minute. Gorman swung and.
landed with a left uppercut and took
did in the sixth, as has been related.
Roy Sutherland, the aggressive
young Los Angeles lightweight,
rushed Willie St. Clair, Sacramento
colored lightweight, around the ring
for eight rounds In the semi-windup,
the match ending In a draw. Suther
land tried every minute of the going
to put over a knockout punch, but St.
Clair was too wily and declined to
stand still long enough In one spot to
let Sutherland finish him. As the bout
progressed St Clair got better and
earned a draw.
Sammy Gordon, Portland feather
weight, was clever to the 33d degree,
while Baby Blue,-his colored oppo
nent, just kept coming in and send
ing In wallops. Gordon took a lot he
didn't have to, and as a result the
match was a draw. It was a great
battle from start to finish.
Tex Vernon, former favorite here,
registered a successful comeback last
night against Eddie Gorman. Vernon
won a' six-round decision hands down.
Joe Gorman's kid brother took an
awful lacing from Vernon,, who hit
him with everything but the ring
posts. It was said after the fight
that Gorman Injured his thumb.
Freddie Lough and Johnny Fugats

It was a slashing mill.

De Tckt of Strength.
What should really be the best soc
cer game of the season will take
place Sunday at Columbia Park when
the Pennlsula team engages, the Ca
nadian veterans' team. While the
Peninsula boys lost the Initial game
of the league to Clan Maclcay, they
have not lost a game since, and their
team has been Improving. At pres
ent they are probably as strong as
they were when they won the Port
land soccer leaguo championship lust
year. They have a particularly strong
defense and a fast set of forwards,
and right now are playing at the top
of their form. They are at present
second in the league and are still In
a position to worry the Vets when It
conies to ultimately winning the
championship.
The Vets have so far cleaned up
everything In sight, having plnyed
only one draw game and having
won six, so that the excellence of
their record is a criterion of the qual
ity of the soccer football they ar
serving out at present. Ably led by
Captain Bill Wright, they have played
a consistent game from tho Initial
contest, and have probably used a
smaller aumbcr of players than any
other team In the league, which ac
counts for thirr success.
Columbia Park can be reached by
the St. Johns car. The game will
start promptly at 2 P. M.
