In nrlectinc an all-Mar roniblnatlon
of football Uyers from the hx tram
repreacntel In the Pacific Northwest
IntercollcitUte fonferonce. ability mut
be trivrn first con.liirratlon. A player
may be able enough In many respects
and yet lark ability to htlo his club
win name, and the selection" of the
above all-star team have born made
with a view of concedinit places on the
All-Northwestern team to those who
have actually helped thvir respective
elevens the most.
M txwell Kaklns. the star of the t"nl
versity of Washington tram. Is easily
the shining ltsht of the All-Northwestern
team, for he Is not only a first
class lmum.tn. but his puntinK ability
haa been mainly responsible for the
a-reat work of the I'nlverslty of Wash
ington team durlne the iast two years.
KuUns la t Ia by Self.
Kakins Is the player over whom such
a rumpus was raised last year, as It
was asserted he was Ineligible. How-
over, he was played by the Wa.-titn.Kton
team and his services undoubtedly
helped that club In Its victorious ca
reer this season. Kukins has conclud
ed his fourth year this season, and
therefore will be lost to the W ashlnic
too team next season, and his absence
will be a severe blow to that eleven,
unless Coach Jtoble has developed an
other equally good punter.
The other larkle position noes to
Bailey, of the I'nlverslty of recon.
who has earned the place beyond any
nuesiion. Bailey Is a big. powerful
player and a first-class man in the
line. His work for Oreiton this season
stamps him as an all-Mar representa
tive. AmonR the regular guards on the six
eleven there are none to be aelectod mho
would be more entitled to positions on
tha All-Northwestorn Icanu than are
Tacil.- Ijilrd. of Washlnttton Slate Col
lege, and "Polly" Grimm, of the I'nlver
slty of Washington, and for thla reason
the writer st-lects these two men for
the guard positions. Both Laird and
;rlmm have done yeoman services for
their respective teams, anil the distinc
tion between the requirement of guard
and tackle In a game be:nf so small the
selection of these p.ayera aeenia war
rant rd.
For center, there seems to he no doubt
but that George Hart.r. of Washington
Slate College, is entltUd to the palm,
for thla player demonstrated quite clearly
that he ts a highly capable player In that
position. He passed the ball more ac
curately during the aeason than any
other man tn the same position in the
conference.
Many Kntl Candidates.
Wh.n considering the positions of ends,
four or five are entitled to consideration,
but when the matter of greatest assist
ance to their respective teams la con
sidered. Huntley, of Oregon Agricultural
College, and Thornton, of ldnho, seem
the likely players. Warren Grimm and
Huahv. of the I'nlverslty of Washington,
and Michael, of Oregon, are entitled to
highly favorable comment.
In selecting- the All-Northwestern quar
terback. Coyle. ' of Washington, has a
light edge on Itourette. of Oregon,
for the reason that he participated In
every game of the season and displayed
great generalship each time. Corle seems
fitted for the honor position, with Lat
ourette a cloee second.
lUrkfleld men must necessarily have
shown Judgment, strength and sure
footedness. and In considering these
points. Cox. of WhiLunn. ami Taylor of
Oregon, seemed to be the best ground
gainera among the ha!fha ka of the
Northwest, hence thetr selrcth-'n.
Keck, of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, proved the ecintUlaung- star of the

speediest ends, sterling; tackier, a fust

P'Ti'ap o'jo of the most dependable

position to rlglit end. Next to Grimm.

He is a good all-round player.

a harder place to choose. Kory con
ference collea-e in the Northwest was
supplied with good tackles. Tho-e
wco are worthy of mention are Wil
li, i-ns. Llaho; Hunter and latlrd, of
W. -.; Ha Hey. of Oregon: May. of
o. A. c.; Neill. of Whitman; Grimm and
K.tklns. of Washington.
Mnwell Kakins Is li i u !i lighter, hut
his brains in the game far outtlgure
the wcig'tt question. 111s footha'l
career has been distinguished through
his ability to open holes in the oppo
nents' line as well as hold them agaln.-t
gains.
Kakins" greatest achievement Is In
his piintin.s'. Situ e he entered Ivnny
field at Washington he has met the
hoM punters In the Northwest. To
Kakins belongs the place of right
tackle.
The two strongcM men In the North

The position of quarterback. I'oble
believes to he a hard position to
choose. Cuyle, of Washington, and
laitotirette. of Oreaon. each have their
peculiar characteristics. Coyle Is
better drop-kh ker. and a better field

'Chick" Wright Is one of the most
noted billiard players of the Pacific
Coast, and holds the National Amateur
Championship record for 1909, when
he defeated such stars as C. F. Conk
lln. Clarence Jackson. J. J. Mnyer and
I. U Mtal. at the Llederkranz Club in
New York City in April, 1909.
At that time Wright was the only
representative contending- from the Pa
cific Coast, and his work startled the
Easterners. Since then he has kept
his hand In the game by participating
In all the tourneys held in California,
and as far east as Denver, and Is now
in fine form to show his best speed.
Wright has arranged to play 1200
points to Punlway's 600. and this han
dicap is looked upon as almost a cinch
for the Portland cue expert, who re
cently succeeded in winning the honors
of the Pacific Northwest from W. A.
Johnson, of Seattle.
Most of the Portland enthusiasts
think Wright makes a mistake In han
dicapplng- Dunlway so liberally, but
the San Francisco expert seemingly
thinks otherwise, for he named tha,
points of the match himself.
The competition will start Wednes
day night. November SO. when Wright
agrees to play 40 points tn Dunlway's
Sou, or one-third of the total points
of the competition. The second one-
third will be played on Thursday night.
December 1. and the final string on
Friday night. December I. The con
test will be at 18.2-Inch balkllne bil
liards, and Is bound to attract wide
spread attention among the bllliardists
of Portland.
This will be "Chick" Wright's first
appearance In Portland, and his fame
has reached here In advance, which In
dicates a big attendance at the exhibi
tion. Wright leaves San Francisco to
night and will reach Portland Tues
day morning, and during his stay In
Portland he will be the guest of J. J..
Parker.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 28. Battling
Nelson of Ilegewisch, 111., will no
longer menace the llghtwcipht belt.
For the first time In his fighting
career the Durable Dane, a shell of tha
once great pujrilipt who proved such
a terror to men In his claims. was
knocked out beyond all dispute. Owen
Moran of Birmingham. England, per-'
formed this feat at Louis Blot's open-
air arena today, in the presence of one
of the greatest crowds of spectators
ever assembled at a glove contest in
this city.
Moran knocked Nelson out in the
11th round of a scheduled 20-round
event, his victory being clean and
leaving no room for argument as to
his complete mastery over the one
time champion.
Xclson Pleads to Continue.
He van compelled to drop Nelson
five times In this round. Despite the
force of the Briton's right-hand
punches on the point of the chin, the
first of which sent Nelson down for
the count, and started him on the road
to pugilistic oblivion. the fighting
spirit of the Dane was ever present
and one second after the final count
had been tolled off and Referee Ben
Sclig shouted "You're out: Moran wins,"
Nelson was on his feet, with blood
streaming from his mouth and nos
trils, begging the referee to permit
him to continue.
Moran throughout from the first
tap of the gong proved himself com
plete master of the situation and there
was not one found of the 11 fought
which could bo accredited to Nelson.
Nelson was always the aggressor, his
evident Intention being to force the
Britisher to fight close. In this he
was accommodated, but the battle was
scarcely two rounds old before Moran
showed that he, too. could fight at the
"Battler's'' own game.
Bound after round, Moran would step
back, side-step and dance around the
aggressive Dane, all the wliile sending
In straight, forceful punches to the
Jaw and seldom receiving a punch In
return. Nelson was bleeding freely
from the nostrils. And so it continued.
Moran varying the monotony by glvinn
exhibitions of clever ducking and foot
work that drew cheers from the as
sembled thousands.
In the eighth round the Englishman
punished his antagonist severely, cul
minating his assortment of punches
with a tremendous right smash on the
eye, which all but closed that organ.
J he 1 1 tn and final round opened
with neither fighter perceptiblv In
distress. Moran, who apparently had
been biding his time for a finishing:
blow, was given his chance when I

ful right to the wind and then shot
a straight left to the face. Nelson
landed twice with left to the face just
before the bell rang. Moran had the
honors.
Hound 3.
Nelson forced the Britisher against
the ropes, but the latter, with clever
footwork., avoided the "battler's"
vicious onslaught. A fierce mid-ring
rally followed, both landing savagely
wtth right and left to the head and
face. Moran shot a wicked right to
the nose and scored first blood. Moran
played for the face. Nelson went to his
corner spitting blood. Moran's round.
Hound I-
Moran continued to outhox and out
general his opponent. He contented
himself with stepping bark and meet
ing the Hegewis.-h fighter w ith straight
lefts and rights on the sore nose as
the --hattler" forced the issue. Nelson
varied matters hy swinging his' right
and left to the fare, but Moran evened
it up with two had right smashes to
the face. Moran's round.
Hound 5.
Moran scored immediately with a
straight right to the Jaw. Nelson counter
ing with two forceful swing.- to the face.
The Birmingham lad then jarred the ex-
champlon. planting two wlid rights flush
to the Jaw. Nelson rallied and brought
the crowd to its feet by forcing his man
rrom one end of the ring to the other,
meanwhile landing several times with
hard right and left punches to the head.
Nelson's" advantage was short-lived, how
ever, for Moran more than evened up the
battling by raining short-arm right and
left chops to the face. It was tho beft
round so far, with honors virtually even.
Hound 6.
After a minutes' fighting at close
quarter!", without damage. Nelson hooked
his right to the slomaeh. Ho forced, the .
englishman around the ring, but th9
latter mot each ruwh1 with (straight loft
and right shoots to the face. Moran
uppercut with his left to the .inw and
moment later sent the same glove to the
face. Moran was pooling cleanly and had.
the better of tha round.
Hound 7.
Nelson forced the fighting, landing
right and left on the face. They battled
like a pyir of bull terrors, heaxl to head.
Moran, if anything, laving the better
of the exchanges. Moran made the ex
champinn wince, sending several riglrts
In quick succession to tho face. Moran's
round.
Hound 8.
Nelson canto up smiling and willing.
After a half a minute of desultory ex
changes, 'Nelson forced his man to break
ground by shooting In several rights and
lefts to the body and face. Ho went
right after his man but Moran snored
constantly with well-timed right and left
hooks to the face, one of -which all but
closed Nelson's left eye. Moran was
playing on that member with great euc-'
cesn when the bell clanged and lie took
his seat with the lion's share of the round
and battle up to this stage.
Hound 9.
Nelson opened the round full of fight.
A short swing reached the Briton's Jaw
and soon afterward a straight left found
the same mark. The men continued to
figlrt at close distance, Moran ever and
anon sending in straight right and left
phnches In the face that carried plenty
of power behind them. Again Moran had
the better of the round.
Hound 1 0. i
What Nelson laeked in cleverness aa
compared with his antagonist he partly
offset by his aggressiveness and ability
to absorb Moran's punishment. The
usual close range rally followed, during
which both landed some telling punches.
The round was rather tame, neither man
having an advantage.

of the Pacific Northwest, a handicap
match at 18.2 balk-line. It will be
three-night affair, and Wright will be
obliged to score ISA) points to 600 for
Dunlway.
Wright does not anticipate an easy
time In defeating the northern champion
with such a big handicap, and is pre
pared for a hard game-. Wright has been
showing excellent form in his practice

fact that Dunlway won the champion
ship of the Northwest from Johnson by
averaging W at 14.2 balk-line has caused
Wright to respect his opponent.

PEACE AGHEEMEXT XOT SEEX
Athletic Authorities Haven't Filed
lrp Relations.
CHICAGO, Nov. 26. Western followers
of athletics who had been looking for
ward to the return of President E. C.
Brown, of the Amateur Athletic Union,
In the hope that a peace agreement
between that organization and the Ama
teur Athletic Federation might take
place, have been disappointed. President
Brown returned from New York, where
he was elected to a second term as
head of the A. A. U but had no Im
portant developments to announce be
tween the two athletic bodies.
"The A. A. F. matter came up before
the board, but it created hardly any dis
cussion," said President Brown. "The
board felt that the matter was a local
lssuo only and not a national affair and
did not consider It of enough Importance
to call for any legislation. If the people
who aro trying to keep the A. A. F.
allvo really had the good of the atblctio
game at heart, they would cease to sup
port a hopeless cause and work wnn
the A. A. U. for the common good.
'A great deal of new work w:U be
done this Winter in creating new ter
ritory and divisions. One division flkoly
will have Pittsburg as Its center, while
another will have Omaha. There also
should be a new division In the North
west with Minneapolis or St. Paul as its
center. There is a big boom in athletics
through the South and a new division
Is almost certain to be formed there
with headquarters at Charleston or Atlanta."
