MATERIAL IS VETERAN
Team Already Working Well on
Simple Formations More of
Old Bulldog Spirit Shown.
BY HUGH FULLERTON.
(By Chicago Tribute Leased "Wire.)
NEW HAVEN. Conn., Sept. 14.
Yale redivlvus! For the first time
In years Eli opens her football
work with prospects of a victorious
team not a great team, hot a team
of Heffelfingers, Coys, Jones or
Hinkeys but a team.
I watched SO men working on a
water-soaked field yesterday and
there was more of that old bull
dog spirit out there than I have
seen in "Yale in a number of years.
The team has suffered losses, has
not accumulated any great star as
far as is visible to the naked eye,
but it is a veteran team, working
well already on the simpler forma
tions, possessing a pair of compe
tent, if not remarkable kickers, a
clever forward pass and it is
nearly three weeks further ad
vanced toward playing condition
lan it was at this time last
season.
Little Time for Training.
To Yale the fact that the ma
jority of the regulars are veterans
and the further fact that they have
worked into shape quickly means
more than it does to the majority
of the big teams. Yale teams art
handicapped heavily because of lack
of time for training. It is an amaz
ing fact that the Yale football
players can have at the utmost only
about one hour and a half of actual
work a day, five days a week. The
team has from two to four hours to
work, and deducting time for dress
lng they are in the hands of the
coaches less time than' any of the
big teams. The necessity of work
ing too fast, for taking snap judg
ment in some cases, hurts.
But this year Yale brings on a
squad which learned a lot last sea
son, learned more on the playing
than on the practice field and which
is a way to a big start. It had to
be, because Yale has a severe
schedule with Carnegie Tech, a
veteran and a dangerous team, and
Brother Howard's Iowans in the
early schedule. In other words, if
Yale comes through the Carnegie
Tech and Iowa games without
serious injury, her team is made,
made by fighting its way to condi
tion. If it suffers severe injuries,
it may be ruined.
Tenm Look Good.
But after eight days of work the
Yale teanr looks better today than
it did in its early October battles
last year, with more steadiness and
seemingly more confidence.
The coaching staff is more co
herent, with Tad Jones at the head.
You know. Tad was not satisfied
with his team last year, for the
reason that, it was unsteady at
times, and lacked confidence, or
seemed to. Besides, it was unstable
in spots and plays had to be built
largely around Aldrich.. This year
Myron Fuller is helping Tad with
the lines. Aldrich is back instruct
ing kickers. Charlie Comerford is
handling the ends and Pat Osborne,
freshman coach, has been aiding.
Al Into, last year's giant lineman,
and Dr. Billy Bull complete the list
of active coaches. Dr. Bull is work
ing the men for early condition, and
already has chopped down soma
The team is ready for scrimage, and
light scrimage has been allowed.
With seven full teams in action and
Captain Jordan directing the first
team, it is serious work from now
on. There may be switches in the
line and the effort of the- coaches
will be to strengthen the center of
the line, which was hard hit by
graduation.
Batty I Ineligible.
Yale's rivals say she was not hit
hard, in that Eli lost few regulars
by graduation, but losing Into, who
is ineligible, and MacAldrich was
sufficient. Reggy Batty, the 215
pound lineman who had appendi
citis last year and was expected to
be a strong candidate, is declared
ineligible and the freshman promo
tions have failed sadly. Of the 31
freshmen of last year's team only
13 can play this year.
Pong, the captain, is ineligible
and Jack Ewing, considered one of
the most promising of ends, also
is out because he has taken to base
ball. The tentative lineup for
signals now is Norris, center;
Cruickshank and MacKay, guards;
Hidden and Diller, tackles; Cutler
and Delaver, ends; Beckett, quarter;
O'Hearn and Jordan, halves, and
Mallory, full.
The center seems fairly assured,
with Norris steady and heavier
than he was and with Landia cap
able, although he is being tried in
other capacities.
Guard Material Promising.
The- guard material Is promising.
Cruickshank, McKay, Cross and
Kerr are a strong combination and
Hubbard and Pillsbury were subs
last season and fighting for regular
jobs. Eckert, from -the freshman
team, is considered one of the most'
promising.
There is a wealth of tackle ma
terial, at which Harvard and
Princeton, both suffering famines at
tackle, must gaze longingly. Hidden,
Starr, Diller and O'Brien, have been
through the grind and show their
abilities. Quaillo is a problem. He
was Hurt last year and there is fear
that he may .not be able to play
this season. He is working out and
fighting for his chance. Lufkln, the
freshman, looks good and is ex
tremely fast
There is a wealth of quarterback
material, but thus far no real star
has sprung up, at least no one who
shows signs of stealing the regular
job. Beckett is going well and
Joe Oed looks good. O'Hearn,
Ralph Jordan, Knapp, Mallory and
Bill Neale form a strong bunch.
Neale, who is a brother of "Greasy"
Neale, is not a certainty, as he has
trouble holding his scholastic stand
ing. Ted Wight Worry.
There is worry to about Ted
Wight, who strained a side play
ing baseball and has been in Johns
Hopkins. There are three cork
ing youngsters in Bench, Scott and
Warner. Bench is lightning fast
and clever with his footwork, Neid
linger, of .course, is a strong back
field man, Hulman, McCallum, Dea
ver and Lincoln all have shown
their abilities. It looks like a team
Instead of a bunch playing around
a star and a fighting team at that.
The coaches are paying a great
deal of attention to kicking. nd
WE HAVE WITH US TODAY
OFFICIAL FOOTBALL SEASON
This Is Day When Coaches Cease to Be Human and Put On Rough
Stuff Bear Stories Also in Order. '
WEfo?t
wea
BY L. H. GREGORY.
E HAVE with us today the
tball season. To be sure.
eather Is rather torrid to
be talking punts, end runs and such,
let alone doing them, but officially
that's what.
On this day, September 15, the
coa:t conference universities start
football practice. Likewise, those
of the northwest conference. Also
those of the Big Ten, so-called, of
the middle west. Generally speak
ingK this is a day of football begin
nings through the country, though
Yale, Harvard ; and other big fel
lows have beaten the gun in most
Instances and have been exercising
their squads for a week or two
This is the day when football
coaches cease to be likeable human
beings and put on the rough stuff.
In general the harder boiled
coach is the better he is supposed
to be. From now into late Novem
ber the thump of a sailing punt will
mingle on this campus and that one
with hoarse shouts of "Fall on 'at
ball, fall on it, I said!" varied, per
haps, by "Tackle 'im! Get 'im! Oh,
you punk!"
Today, likewise, will mark the
hatching of a flock of "bear
stories," meaning mournful tales
from various camps as to the utter
impossibility, for various reasons, of
making any kind of a proper show
ing whatsoever. In college football
it is considered utterly unethical in
the best circles for a coach ever to
admit that his team has a chance.
So when you read from Oregon
that so-and-so has a broken back
and IS stretched neck ligaments and
can't possibly play; from Oregon
Agricultural college that there
isn't a veteran footballist in sight
and the situation is awful; from
California that the "wonder team"
is wrecked from tackle to tackle;
from Washington Urat the bright
prospects of last fall are blighted,
and from Stanford that Andy Kerr
is greatly disappointed with the ma
terial in sight and can promise not
a thing why, take it with a grain
of salt, mates. It's old stuff.
, -
There won't be much real football
for two or three weeks. Practice
for the present will be confined
r alnly to such fundamentals as fall
ing on the ball, tackling and kicking.
Such practice games as are sched
uled are mainly easy ones. It will
be well along in October before the
conference seasons really start.
The opening Pacific coast confer
ence game will be played October 14
between Washington and Idaho at
Seattle. The following Friday
comes the Washington State-Idaho
game at Moscow, and on Saturday,
October 15, the Oregon Aggies play
Washington at Seattle. From then
on the coast conference' season will
be in full swing.
Usually a football coach is so anx
iotte to get his squad in uniform
and under way that he can hardly
wait for the opening day, which in
the coast conferences is set by rule
at September 15, but at the TJniver
siey of Oregon, Shy Huntington,
head coach, is pulling a new one.
He actually has postponed the open
ing for three days. Instead of start
ing today the Oregon gridsters will
not answer rollcall until next Mon
day, September 18.
Huntington says he isn't supersti
tious, not a bit of it, but Just the
same he is evading a Friday start
very nicely. There may be nothing
to that Friday idea, but if there Is,
it won't hurt Oregon, that's sure.
Huntington says he doesn't se.e any
thing to be gained by starting the
boys only two days before the week
is out, hence the postponement to
Monday. You cap. take your choice
as to whether that is his real
reason. .
Incidentally, it looks as if Shy, for
the first time in his coaching career,
really will start a season this year
with something tangible to work on.
Heretofore he has never known
what he h.d. Always he has had
to develop new men for key, posi
tions and that can't be done in a
month or two. But this year he will
have eight players of last season's
great young eleven back at their
posts for the jump-off.
Last fall Huntington had a terri
ble time of it up well into November
teaching his green men what It was
all about and finding the positions
they were fitted for. i Then all of a
sudden the parts of that machine
clicked into place, the players found
themselves, and how they went!
They were the talk of the northwest
after it was too late.
Put that eleven in the race this
year, almost intact, and our bet is
that it will be heard from. Hunt
ington at last is to have his real
chance.
Can Bill Kenworthy, the iron
duke, really loft a mashie golf ball
shot from the home plate at the
Portland baseball park over the
left field or center field fence? Ever
since we remarked recently that
the duke said he could do it there
has been all kinds of heated dis
cussions as to the feasibility of the
feat.
It would be easy enough to drive
a ball with a driver or midiron
over the fence, but with a mashie
that's different. A good many golf
ers have expressed the frank belief
that the duke is spoofing and can't
do it.
The upshot is that the duke has
been so kidded and pestered that he
has made a wager that he not only
can do it, but will do It, and do it
in public. He will make the attempt
between games of Sunday's double-
header between Portland and San
Francisco. If you want to see how
the duke can kill a mashie shot, be
out there when he makes .the at
tempt.
J. L. Hammer of the sporting
goods department of the Meier &
Frank store has agreed to furnish a
dozen new Burke balls for the duke
to hammer at Sunday in his epoch-
making attempt. Mr. Hammer
doesn't believe the duke can do it,
but if he fails it won't be for lack
of golf balls.
The duke has gone In training
with his mashie. The terms of the
wager are that knocks over the
right field fence don't count; the
shot, to win, must sail over the left
or center field fence.
CLINTON FLASHY BOXER
' v
SUBSTITUTE FOR BENJAMIN
NEEDS MORE TRAINING. '
Eastern Fighter Already Holds
Decision Over Sacco Whom
" lie Meets Tonight.
Jimmy Sacco will fight Johnny
Clinton in the main .event at the
armory tonight. The bout is a sub
stitute for the Joe Benjamin-Sacco
match. Benjamin ran out on the
fight so Clinton, who comes from
New York, was rushed from Seattle
to do his stuff.
Clinton lost his first start in the
northwest to Travis Davis at Se
attle Tuesday night. Davis won
in six rounds. Davis had a weight
advantage of nine pounds. Clinton
had not had much time to train and
the same applies to this fight, so
the boys must not expect too much
of him.
On Clinton's record in the book
are two ten-round no-decision
fights with Benny Leonard and one
with Lew Tendler. He fought Leon
ard in Boston last May. Previously
he had boxed Leonard at Syracuse,
n. y. .
A year ago he engaged in an
eight-round no-decision bout against
Tendler in Philadelphia. He has
won decisions over Frankie Farren,
Joe Welling, Eddie Fitzsimmons
and Jimmy Saceo in Boston, where
they met last. year. He also noias
four 12-round decisions over Mel
Coogan. , i
Clinton is hooked up on the coast
with Dan Salt, the Seattle magnate.
Salt expects to book him for six
fights on the coast. He may remain
here until Christmas. When he has
time to train properly. Clinton is
said to be a flashy boxer.

ARTICLE III.
BY HUGH FULLERTON.
iBy Chicago Tribune Leased -Wire.)
EW YORK, Sept. 14. Two sys
tems of attack more greatly
at variance than those of
Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills are
hard to conceive. Yet in one way
they are alike. Both are what the
fighters call "borers in." They a"re
men who seldom or never give
ground save to start a new attack.
Neither ever has been forced into a
retreat by a more powerful attack.
Yet Dempsey is a leader and Wills,
in spite of his steady and persistent
forward notion, waits for his oppp
nent to make the lead.
Both are aggressive, but there is
a difference in their style of ag
gression. Dempsey is of the re
lentless, pursuing, attacking type.
Wills is pressing forward, follow
ing tho foe, withholding his blow
until the opponent, either driven to
bay or compelled by the pursuit to
attack, swings.
Wills Has Shade.
The study of the left hands of the
battlers, who some day must meet
to settle the question of supremacy,
gives Wills a slight shade. No one
can get away from the fact that the
big black has a crushing and ef
fective left. He delivers the blow
better than any other wallop In his
fistic vocabulary. His left drive is
a swinging hook.
With his right Wills is a mere
threat in attack. He menaces a foe
with the right, .looks as if prepared
to swing that useful member and
then swings the left with a sort of
ripping upward motion.
He has more power in that blow
than lu any blow I ever have seen
-struck except Jess Willard's right,
which beyond doubt Is the most
powerful ever struck by a modern
fighter. But Wills .wastes more J
time in preparing to land the blow
than Willard did his.
Wills seems never to attempt to
swing it until his victim is help
less and then he uses it as the pile
driver to finish up a helpless foe.
I never have seen it landed on a
foe who was still, in action.
- " Blacli Does Not Shine.
Contrast his wide-open, long
swinging style with that of Demp
sey and the big black does not
shine. Dempsey fights close hauled.
His blows are short, driven with all
the power and momentum of his
body.
You will observe one queer dif
ference between these men. Demp
sey fights upward with the ripping
upper drive delivered in close quar
ters, and a round-arm swing into
which he gets the best leverage in
the world. Occasionally Wills gets
to hitting straight from the side,
but most of his blows are down
ward. Perhaps his great length has
taught him that. He clubs down
ward, while Dempsey rips upward.
Body Attack Forecast.
When these two meet the attack
will be at the body. Neither will
waste much time at the head. It
will be - interesting to see whether
the downward or tho upward stroke
in fighting will prevail. Among the
southern Italians who use the stil
etto the fellow who cuts downward
Is considered an amateur, while the
fellow Who rips upward toward the
bowels gets results. That, in brutal
frankness, is the difference between
the styles of Dempsey and Wills.
The forearm will hold back an up
ward ripping blow, but even if it is
checked it is never stopped. The
downward blow takes more time to
deliver. Both "men understand the
use of elbows in stopping blows de
livered with a side swing.
In the ne?tt article we will con
sider the speed, stamina and what
is known of the "heart" of each.
Towel Thrown In Kin- When
Johnny Stands Groggy and
Helpless Before Filipino.
BROOKLYN, Sept. 14. Pancho
Villa of Manila tonight became the
flyweight champion of the United
States by scoring a technical knock
out over Johnny Buff of Jersey City,
27 seconds after the opening of the
11th round of a scheduled 12-round
bout.
Buff's seconds threw a towel into
the ring when Johnny, battered to
grogginess, stood helples-s before
the Filipino's attack. '
In the tenth round Villa scored
two knockdowns. He began by
mimmelinff- Buff with both handa
rushing him to the ropes and then
chasing him across the ring. Buff
was reeling when Villa landed h(s
left to the head and sent the Ameri
can bumping to the floor.
The first time Buff did not take a
count, but when Villa placed both
hands to the head a few seconds
later the American lay on the floor
until five was counted and the bell
rang, saving him. He was picked
up and placed in his chair.
It was Villa's fight from the first
He was mlways active, always
punching- for an opening, instead of
waiting for a chance, as Buff did.
His terrific body blows, with both
hands, sapped the American cham
pion in the early rounds and his
crushing le?t hooks and jabs to the
head in the latter rounds brought
him the victory.
Buff was unable to open an at
tack. He tried to edge in blows
after the third round but Villa met
every attack with another of two
hands, punishing relentlessly.
KALAMA CHALLENGES CAMAS
Columbia River Ball Club Be
clared Best of Bushers.
KALAMA, Wash., Sept. 13. (To
the Sporting Editor.) Sir: There
appeared 'in The Oregonian of Sep
tember 8 a- communication by Mr.
Willett of Camas. Wash., lamenting
that the crack Camas Grays were
going to seed for want of real com
petition. Inasmuch as the Grays,
by their record, have established
the fact that, aside from the Zero
"lene Bears (with the aid of the
great Lefty Schroeder) there, is at
present no organized team in Port
land which could give real compe
tition to the Grays, Mr. Willett sug
gests that a team of all-stars se
lected of the pick of the best of
all Portland semi-pro teams be
formed to play the Grays.
By their record long since ac
complished, the Grays of this year
have -already established the ac
knowledged championship of semi
pro baseball in the Portland terri
tory and we do not believe there is
any team in Oregon that would" or
could successfully question Camas'
title to the "championship of all of
Oregon and that part of the Colum
bia river territory in Washington
lying above the Willamette river."
But why should the Grays pick on
Portland when there are greater
worlds to conquer?
If the Grays would like to keep
from "going to seed" and would like
to add. to their title "the champion
shin of southwestern Washington
and that part of the Columbia river
from the Willamette to the sea,", it
would be 'necessary first to dispose
of the claims of Kalama, for Ka
lama, since the organization of Its
present team, has made an enviable
reputation, having won 14 out of
1" starts, the one defeat being the
one game the team was off its feed.
That game was lost in the ninth
inning by one lucky score and bad
umpiring. Two weeks later Ka
lama retrieved this game and has
since pretty well established its
right to the claim a the "champioA--
ship of the lower Columbia river
territory and southwestern Wash
ington." Some of the teams Kalama has de
feated are the Astoria Centennials
(twice, September 3 and Labor day),
the Columbia club of Astoria, Win
lock, Castle Rock and St. Helens.
If Camas thinks thi3 does not show
"class," ask Standard Oil, with
Schroeder pitching, whether the
Centennials were easy or not? It
took the Bears - extra innings to
beat the Centennials.
We would suggest that Camas
plav Kalama one game, to be decid
ed by the flip of a coin whether at
Kalama or Camas. If In this game
Kalama defeats Camas and thus
establishes her claim to "class," we
suggest two more games. In the
event Camas wins the. second game,
the second game to be played on
the grounds of the visiting team of
the first game and the third game
to be played on neutral grounds.
