Negro Heavy Down for Main
Event at Milwaukie.
FAST BOUT EXPECTED
Denver Kd and Black Champ Fig
ured to Put on Best Show Seen
Here Under 1 0-Itound Law.
BY DICK SHARP.
Harry Wills, negro heavyweight
champion of tha world, the most
formidable contender for Jack Demp
sey's crown, will bo,x Denver Ed
Martin ten rounds at Miiwaukie No-
vember It. The announcement was
made yesterday by George Moore,
manager of the Milwaukie club.
Atoore decided several days ago
that the fana don't want to see Mar
tin In action again unless against one
of the foremost heavyweights' in the
world. Martin thoroughly established
his comeback by knocking 'out Bat
' tling Hector. Tiny Herman and Ser
geant Hay Smith. The colored vet
eran has shown speed, hitting power,
boxing craft, and, perhaps most im
portant, ability to take a sledge
hammer punch.
In fact Martin has displayed more
real class as a heavyweight than any
Of the big men who have fought here
in recent years. Fred, Fulton, Billy
Miske. Sam Langford. Lee Anderson
and Battling Levlnsky all are first
rate battlers, but none of them ap
peared as formidable as Martin.
Fulton came the closest,' but any
number of boxing followers here be
lieve Martin la even the master of
Fulton.
Th case of Harry Wills Is dif
ferent. Wills is a super-scrapper, a
wonderful boxer and one of the most
vicious and relentless fighters in the
game. He stopped Fred Fulton with
one punch. It was an uppercut un
der the heart that didn't travel six
Inches. Ha knocked down Sam Lang
ford seven times in as many rounds
and then knocked him out. Bill Tate
lasted a round. Gunboat Smith a
round, and so on.
The Denver Ed Martin-Ha'rry Wills
match Is by far the biggest and most
interesting boxing event to be
brought here since the passing of the
ten-round law.
The Portland boxing commission
will stage an all-star card at the
armory Wednesday night. Captain
Ka.rry Hansen, matchmaker for the
commission, is busy completing the
Card.
Willie Capelli of Los Angeles, a
lightweight who has fought them all,
will headline against Frankie Farren,
Kddie Pinkman, Monk Fowler, Al
Grunan or Morgan Jones. Less than
a year ago Capelli substituted for
Billy McCann against Dave Shade in
San Francisco and won handily. Ca
pelli fights on tha order of Battling
Ortega, and is said to be a slam-bang
mauler.
Abe Mlshklnd will meet the best
boy obtainable In the srmi-wlndup.
Hansen is trying to get Archie. Stoy
for that match. Three other fast
mills will round out the card.
,
Frankie Brltt. the aggressive Ta
eoma featherweight who has fought
Bud Ridley, Morgan Jones, Al Lupo,
Young Sam Langford and many
others. Is angling f a fight on the
card and may ba accommodated.
Jimmy Darcy Is going great guns
In the eastern climes. Jimmy stepped
tip to Buffalo the other night and
gave Harry Greb a thumping, but
lost the verdict. He knocked down
Greb in the third round for the count
of seven. Darcy again had Greb
In a bad way In the seventh, but ft
the end of the 15 rounds the Judges
gave Greb the verdict on points.
Darcy fights Young Fisher at Syra
cuse, N. Y., this week and will make
his debut at Madison Square Garden
aome time this month. Fisher is the
boy who beat Mike Q'Dowd in Syra
cuse recently.
Joe Gorman and Earl Baird will
battle for the fifth time in New York,
November 23. The bout will be a
semi-final at Madison Square Garden,
Tex Rlckard's fistic emporium. The
two have met previously at Milwau
kie and Salem. Or., San Francisco, and
New York. vThree of the matches
resulted in draws, but Gorman won
the four-rounder in San Francisco by
a mile. The Milwaukie. San Fran
cisco and New York engagements all
were sensational scraps.

WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY. Sa

football game of the season to be
played on a Willamette field wilt be
Saturday when the Bearcats tangle
with the Paciflo Badgers. Competi
tion was never stronger than this
year between the two elevens and
pep rallies culminating in a big bon
fire Friday evening will prepare the
way for the game.
1'acifio is reported to have one of
the strongest teams in her history.
Willamette's aggregation has been
forced to play defensive ball most of
the season.
To get more weight In the Willam
ette team Coach Bohler has been
making decided changes in the line
ups. Several letter men may be
benched to make way for heavier but
less experienced players.
Reports from Pacific indicate that
about 200 rooters will accompany tha
team to Salem.

Eleven Sets Scoring Record.
GLENN FALLS, N. V.. Nov. 3 The
Glen Falls high school football eleven
has established what is considered a
record by making 290 points in six
games without being scored upon.
BY L. H. GREGORY.
npHE football season has flown so
I fast that almost before we know
it the final "big game" will be
played and it will be all over but
Pasadena and the post-season shout
ing. Just two more Saturdays after
tomorrow, then Thanksgiving day
and the end.
Plenty of action will be concen
trated, though, in the remaining two
weeks and a half. The Oregon Ag
Kles play Washington State at Cor
vallia next Saturday and the follow
irg week comes the big game of all in
Oregon the annual University of
Oregon-Oregon Aggie clash. It wtll
be played at Eugene this time.
Oregon has two weeks after to
morrow's encounter at Pullman to
make ready for the test. But it will
be a different story for Oregon Agri
cultural college. The Aggies have
what looks like Just about their
toughest tussle of the year ahead of
them next Saturday against Wash
ington Slate, and from that fray they
must jump immediately into battle
with Oregon.
If either of the Oregon colleges is
to gain much glory out of this sea
son's work the Aggies must do It by
winning from Washington State, for
Oregon doesn't look to have a bur
glar's chance against that eleven. So
for the honor -of the state it's up to
the Oregon Aggies. They may do It
hut they certainly will not if they
employ tha same generalship they
tried against Stanford last week, or
against the University of Washing
ton two weeks ago. The Aggies have
a powerful eleven and a marvelous
collection of first-string substitutes,
but to date the running of the eleven
In battle has been its weak point.
That Washington State defense will
not yield to any 90-yard straight
football march down the field, as did
the Washington line: and to try for
ward passing on their own 20-yard
line, as the Aggies did against Stan
ford, would be equivalent to taking a
c;ose of prussic acid. California beat I
Washington State by a kicking game,
und that looks like the Aggies' best
chance though to expect Eldon
Jenne to have two off days in his
booting in a row is asking too much.
If Jenne is right the Aggies may have
to mix in soma mid-field line bucking
with their kicking strategy to make
up lost yardage on punts.
There still Is a chance for a big
spill in the Pacific coast conference
race, though not a very bright one.
An awful mess would result if South
ern California should accomplish the
unexpected and topple California at
Berkeley tomorrow.
Such an upset would put the win
ner of the Washington State-Oregon
Aggie mix in a mighty good position
to win the championship, or at least
to tie it with California, by defeating
Southern California later. Both, the
Aggies and Washington meet South
ern California, tha former on Novem
ber 26. the latter on December 3, both
games at Pasadena.
For the sake of peace, quiet and a
harmonious life for sporting editors
In the next three or four weeks, we
urge Andy Smith to make good his
promise and wipa Berkeley field with
tha southerners.

Tha University of Oregon eleven
has been all "shook up" for its game
at Pullman tomorrow. The Oregon
boys were in Portland yesterday en
route to Pullman and held a secret
workout on Multnomah field at 3
o'clock.
Shy Huntington has switched back
field men to the line and linemen to
the backfield until one gets diszy
trying to locate who's who and where.
At that. Shy believes at last that he
has the men shuffled into their
proper plates and that from now
on it will be- a different eleven. He
doesn't claim anything for the Pull
man game, except that Oregon will
put up a fight, but he seems to be
banking on a vastly improved team
against the Oregon Aggies two weeks
hence.
What a truly remarkable record
has little Center college! Her defeat
of .Harvard last Saturday, to 0. was
no mere flash, but a performance
strictly according to dope.
Bob Chrisman of the Chrisman
Lumber company, was talking about
Center the other day. Nothing the
little college does escapes the eye
of Bob, wlio played on Oregon Agri
cultural college football elevens in
1912. 181J and 1914. but really gained
his football start as snapperback on
the Center elevens of 1909 and 1910.
Even in those days the place had a
team that cleaned up about every
thing it played, though it hadn't then
entered big-league circles.

Few Changes 'Will Be Made

ALBANY COLLEGE. Albany, Or..
Nov. 3. (Special.) Coach McNeal
faces the necessity of building up al
most a complete new backfield before
the next game. Daniel, quarterback,
is the only regular backfield man
ready for action.
Captain DeLasaux. halfback, is out
for the season with water on the
knee. Carson, tha other halfback, will
be unable to turn out for practice for
ten days or two weeks and possibly
cannot play at all this season.- The
bone covering in his left leg is torn.
Starr, who took Carson's place in
the game with-the Oregon Agricul
tural college Rooks, Is out of the
game temporarily with a Charley
horse. He turned out tor practice
last night, but had to retire. Both
lilackwell and Olen. fullbacks, are
suffering from injuries.
Olen is playing fullback in practice
and may be In shape to finish the
season. Blackwei; probably will De

has played part of the time. Simon,
sub-backf ield man, is now working
regularly as a halfback, with Shu

days ago, in the other halfback sta
tion.
With the exception that Blackwell

Albany to Play Eugene.
ALBANY. Or.. Nov. 3. (Special.)
The football teams of the high schools
of Albany and Eugene, old athletic
rivals, will meet on the high school
gridiron here Saturday afternoon. The
margin by which each lost to Lebanon
high school indicates that they are
well matched. The Albany team has
the public eye was its feat two years
ago. on October 3, 1919. of defeating
the University of Indiana. 6 to 0.
From then Center's fame grew fast.
West Virginia had Just won from
Princeton by a big score and thought
Center would be only a mouthful, but
the "praying colonels" took the game
by some such score as 14 to 0, and
followed that shortly by winning
from the University of Virginia, 49
to 0.
Last year's sparkling game against
Harvard still is regarded as a football
classic. In the first Ivulf the Colo
nels scored two touchdowns and made
the sccore 14 to 0, but Harvard by a
great and spectacular fight in the
final half scored several touchdowns
and made it 31 to 14. And now .this
year, before a huge throng in the
Harvard stadium, C.enter won. I to I
"Nobody who has never attended
a small college can even faintly imag
ine the spirit that pervades the Cen
ter college student body said Chris
man. "It has only 160 to 300 stu
dents, but their devotion to the'r
school is little short of the sublime.
That spirit has made it possible for
this small Institution to win from
rniversitles so bis that the entire
student body of Center hardly would
be noticed in their- freshman classes.
" 'Uncle Charley' Moran. the Center
coach, has been a bis factor in the
team's success. Uncle Charley is an
umpire in the National league. I don't
know that he ever even played foot
ball himself, yet he must have been
a profound student of the game. His
connection with Center dates from
four or five years ago, when he had a
son in the college, who was turning
out for football.- After the baseball
season ended Uncle Charley came
down to Danville to see his boy. Nat
urally, he watched the football team
in practice.
"First he made a few suggestions.
Then, as it developed that his sug
gestions were all good and that he
really knew football, it Just followed
naturally that he began 'helping' the
boys a little. Before he knew It the
team had adopted Uncle Charley for
its coach and Uncle Charley had tak
en off his coat and tackled the job
witn entnusiasm.
"Mind you. he did It as a volunteer
worker. Moran makes his living in
professional baseball, yet that Center
spirit got him. as it gets everybody
else, and ha was devoting his time
and services as a coach free of charge.
It was only last year that the college
put- him on a nominal salary against
his own protest. I don't remember
Just what the figure is. but he isn't
paid more than 31000 for the season's
work. In these days of not one only,
but three, four, maybe five and six,
high-priced coaches to a team, it
shows how much Uncle Charley's
heart is in his work, when he will
coach for mere chicken feed at Cen
ter when any one of a dosen colleges
would be glad to get him for three or
four times that much."
"That missed goal kick against
Harvard last Saturday," continued
Chrisman, "incidentally was only the
second goal kick after touchdown
Center has foosled since a missed
goal against Indiana on October 3,
1919. The first was two weeks ago
against Transylvania and the second
last Saturday against Harvard.
"Since that Indiana game Center
nas scored to date a total of 956 points
against opponents. In 1919 she made
265 points, In 1920 631 points and so
far this year 160 points. Of course.
Bo McMillan, her brilliant quarter
back, is in great part responsible for
the team's showing, nevertheless it is
a perfectly balanced team through
out. The line work against Harvard,
whose heavy backs couldn't gain
through the Center line, shows that,
"I hope nobody will get the mis
taken idea because of her football
record that Center Is Just a 'football
college.' Every man on the team is
a bona-fide student, and the faculty
is most severe about requiring col
lege studies to be kept up. No man
can play who is deficient in his cred
its." Chrisman got a letter from Center
the other day answering a previous
inquiry of his as to the chances for
bringing the Center team to the coast
for a post-season game against Ore
gon Agricultural college or Oregon.
The letter said tha team could not
coma in early or mid-December be
cause the faculty wasn't willing for
the players to leave their studies, but
that it could make the trip in the
Christmas holidays if a game were
arranged here then, with another
game somewhere in California to help
pay tha heavy expenses.
Center really half expects an invi
tation to play at Pasadena on New
Year's day.

POLO INTEREST REVIVED
RETURN OF TROPHY TO AMER
ICA BOOSTS SPOUT.
Englishmen Expected to Lose No
Time in Challenging for Cup
Coming Year or Next.
NEW YORK. Nov. 3. With the re
turn of the international polo trophy
to this country, there has been a
narked revival of interest in the
game as evidenced by plans of the
American Polo association for re
sumption of play next spring. It is
assumed that the Englishmen will
lose no time In challenging for tha
cup, if not next year, then the year
following.
Polo players have not forgotten the
rredicament of the Americans last
year in getting mounts for their team
caused a national appeal to be made
for ponies. So "preparedness- is tne
motto that has been tacked on the
wall. It Is well understood that, to
maintain supremacy, the United
States cannot expect to pull itself to
gether by a repetition or sucn
eleventh-hour efforts.
Particularly Is this tne case wnn
nonies. which must undergo a rigid
course of training for contests. -J
Another point receiving attention
is that of popularising the game. It
is pointed out that polo Is quite as
lively, exciting and fascinating to
watch as baseball and the reason the
American public knows so little about
It is the excluslveness of clubs which
play only for their members.
