PITTSBURG ELffl
DEFEATS STANFORD
East-West Game Is Won by
Score of 16 to 7.
CARDINALS EASY PREY
Both Teams Crippled, but Coast
Squad Has No Chance With
Experienced Panthers.
STADIUM STANFORD UNIVER
SITY, Deo. 80. The Panther foot
ball team from the University of
Pittsburg" had little trouble in de
feating: Stanford university, 16 to 7,
here today in the second east-west
game of the season. The visitors
outclassed the Cardinals throughout
the game and except for a few min
utes during the last period were on
the offensive.
Only a vicious Sanord defensive
prevented the score from being
higher. Six times the Pitt backfield,
with its crack fullback, Hewitt, and
Its star halfback, Flanagan, doing
most of the work, by line bucks and
forward passes, carried the ball to
within the Stanford 20-yard lines,
and six times Stanford held and
punted out to safety.
It was one Warner-trained team
playing against another, and the
most experienced eleven won. Glenn
Warner, who is coach of the Pan
thers, Is also advisory coach of the
Stanford team, and comes to take
full charge of the eleven in 1924.
Both Teams Crippled,
Both teams were crippled by the
absence of stars. On the Stanford
side Art Wilcox, ex-captain and star
"triple threat" man, was out with
injuries, while the Pitt team played
for all but three minutes without
Holleran, its captain. Holleran en
tered the game for the last three
minutes of play.
Costly' Stanford fumbles helped
Pitt run up its score, although it is
probable that the scores would have
been made anyway, for the Panther
backfield tore through the Card line
almost at will during part of the
game.
In the second period the first Pitt
touchdown was made when Cudde
back fumbled, Bowser recovered.
and, after several bucks, Hewitt
went across. The next scoring was
made in the same period, when
Cleaveland fumbled, giving Pitt the
ball. After driving toward the Car
dinal goal line, Williams sent over
a drop kick. Pitt's second touch
down was made in the last period,
when Flanagan drove through the
Stanford line.
Stanford Offrnnlve Wins. 1
Then came the Stanford offen
sive just as it came in the big
game against California, when, after
playing . on the defensive three
periods, the Cardinals turned and
fought the Bears down the field. A
forward pass, Cleaveland to Thomas,
gave Stanford the ball on Pitt's 29
yard line, but the Panthers re
gained possession by intercepting a
forward pass. Stanford was not to
be denied, however, and with the
Cardinal rooting section crying for
a score the team repeated by forward-passing
to Pitt's one-yard
line, from where Dennis went
across.
Approximately 10,000 persons at
tended the game. A much larger
crowd was expected, but threaten
ing clouds kept many away.

CHAMPIONSHIP STUFF SEEN
IN FRED FULTON'S MAKE-UP
On Dope, Scrapper Ought to Be Champion of World but, on Per

i BY L. H. GREGORY.
SUPPOSE Fred Fulton back ' in
1913 had stuck to his trade as
plasterer. He was getting then
let's . see, the union scale was
around $8 a day. It's $10 now with
a good man able to keep busy all
the time. Fred was a good plas
terer, too he could reach into all
the unreachable corners and slap
on his, trowel of plaster without
even stretching himself.
Had he stuck to his trade he'd
probably today be living in a nice
little home with a nice little family
and driving a nice little Ford. Per
haps have become an employing
plastered and hired other plasterers
at .$10 a day. The world would not
have been interested one way or
the other, for the world would have
known nothing about him. .
But the plasterer didn't stick to
his trade. He thought he could
fight. He had some reason for
thinking so, at that. He was . a
giant in size, though much resem
bling one of the laths he plastered

around 190 he tips the beam at 216
now, but is still lathy. He had a
bludgeon in either fist, and when
he tapped the boys playfully they

into a ring career. . , ,
, , Anyhow, Fulton took to fighting.
OREGON, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER
teing a heavyweight and a big
one in the white hope days, that
soon made him "a - national char
acter.' He won some fights quickly
and looked like a coming champion,
and then he lost some others even
more Quickly and didn't look at all
like a champion. He has been hav

He's the prize in and outer of the

budding Goliath and bang! Down
drops the - Goliath and Big Fred
Is the next champ. Next day he'll
meet some other big fellow and
bang! Down . drops Fred.' It has
been that way for years.
There never was a fighter . of
Fulton's potential ability who so
kept his friends teetering between
enthusiastic hope and the bitterest
disappointment. On dope he ought
to be champion of the world. On
performance there have been times
when he looked all of that, and
other times when he couldn't have
won the championship of Black Cat
alley.
And yet somewhere in this big
fellow's makeup there Is champion

stuff. He has the class; trouble is
he doesn't always exhibit It. But
through it all he has remained a
drawing card wherever he goes.
There .is something very likeable

tions he probably is better off today
by far than had he remained a plas
terer at his $8 or $10 per diem with
the little, home-and the little. Ford.
He arrived in Portland yesterday
with-his wife and they put up in
style .at ; the Benson hotel. Fred
has made a neat pile out of boxing
not ..within a small fraction of
what he might have made but still
a tolerable chunk' for the, afe
deposit vault.
- - ' .
'Within -the' frame ' oi this lanky
Hercules there yet smolders the fire
of ambition. , We, talked to big Fred
yesterday.- He attributed his rins
misfortunes: to a peculiar ., cause.
He said his troubles were all due,
first, to- bad managers; second, to
no managers.
That - sounds : paradoxical, but it
Isn't. - When he was a young, fellow
breaking in, says Fulton, unscrupu
lous merr got hold of him and used
him to -their own ends. Next, he
avers, he cut loose from them and
took to managing his own affairs,
and that- was worse yet.-
"A- fighter simply must have a
manager to get anywhere and stay
there," said Fulton. "I thought I
could look after my own affairs, but
I can't. Tootmuch detail. Too many
little things to annoy you and break
your sleep and -worry you half to
death. , A bad manager ien't worth
the powder to blow him up, but a
gcod manager is the making of a
fighter. ' ' . '
"Now just " for instance, let me
show you -what a boxer is against

, During Workout.
NO STRAIN IS NOTICED
Men Trot Off Field as it Tlicy
Were Fresh as E ver J Corval- j i
lis Is Ready for Clash. .
By all odds the best looklfi
scholastic football team that has
been seen in practice this year on
Multnomah field is that of Scott
high school of Toledo, O., which
went through signal plays yester
day afternoon on a gridiron that
was rain soaked and slow.
Scotthigh school's field is said
to be one of the fastest in the
United States and despite the heivy
condition of the Multnomah grid
iron the Toledo team showed speed
such as has not been equalled this
year by any high school football
eleven, or even varsity eleven, that
has displayed its wares here.
According to the information doled
out by Toledo's coaches the team
averages 160 pounds to the man. In
action the boys appear much
heavier. They go Jhrough their for
mations with that dash and preci
sion that is a sure indication of
meticulous and painstaking efforts
on the part of the coaching staff.
Forward Pass Kxecuted.
Despite the downpour of rain and
the slippery ball, the Ohio boys ex
ecuted a hundred or more forward
passes and not more than a half
dozen of these were incompleted.
The receivers took the ball with un
canny skill from all sorts of forma
tions, long ones, short ones, rifle
shot throws and well timed lobs,
with Captain Bill Hunt on the
hurtling end. '
All of the plays were carried off
with a certainty born only of long
practice and there wasn't more than
a fumble or two In the hour that
the players did their stuff.
when Dr. W. A. Neill, head coach.
called a halt on the afternoon's ac
tivities the players trotted off the
field without evincing a sign of the
exertion they had been put through.
They not only are well coached, but
trained to the minute. Little Cor
vallis will have the toughest game
of its life when Referee Dolan
whistles the opposing elevens into
action tomorrow afternoon on Bell
field at Corvallis at 1:30.
The Toledo team has two assist
ant coaches besides Dr. Neill. They
are "Fighting Bob" Crowell, quarter
on the Syracuse varsity in the three
vears ending with 1921, and Garry
Clash, guard on the same team dur
ing that time.
Dr. Neilr. who played four years
for Whitman college !n the days
when Nig Borleske, the greatest
half back the northwest ever knew.
was the star of the missionary
eleven, afterwards went to the Unl-
verslty of Pennsylvania and his sys
tem of coaching closely follows that
of the Penn coaches of that period.
"I played with Pennsylvania,
says Dr. Neill, "till I was protested
by the trainer of Penn State s foot
ball team. The man who stopped
me at the Philadelphia college was
none other than Bill Martin, an old
classmate at Whitman. Bill had me
ruled off the gridiron when he told
the officials of Pennsylvania that I
had played four years of college
football out west."
Incidentally there is no doubt that
the Toledo gridders are the cham
pions of every section but the far
west, that Is, if comparative scores
r-.ean anything. Scott high school
defeated Waite high of Toleoo in
its final game of the regular season
and before that "one or the other
of these two teams had taken on
the intersectional leaders of every
section of the country except the
Pacific slope and won their games
by decisive scores.
Champions Are Conquered.
Among the teams Scott or Walts
high triumphed over were the cham
pions of Michigan and of the north
western group of states, the New
England states, the south and the
middle west.
Yesterday's workout was the last
the Toledo players will take. They
are to be the guests of the Chamber
of Commerce and the Rotary club
today on a trip up the Columbia
highway.
The Chamber of Commerce ten
dered them a luncheon yesterday.
This afternoon at 4 o'clock the
Toledo party's special car will be
hooked onto a train leaving for Cor
vallis. Following the game with
Corvallis tomorrow afternoon, the
easterners will be entertained at a
dinner dance given by the valley
town high school. They will leave
Corvallis shortly after midnight on
thetr return trip to Toledo, via Cali
fornia. Latest figures given out by the
coaches of the eastern and west
ern rivals show that Toledo's eleven
averages 160 pounds and Corvallis
150 pounds.
Corvallis Team la Ready.
Undeterred by the disparity in
weight or by the formidable reputa
tion of Toledo, Corvallis finished
its preparation for the greatest in
terscholastio event In Oregon's his
tory by taking a five-mile cross
country jaunt yesterday afternoon.
Every player of the home-town
bunch is in the best condition of
his career.
"Notwithstanding Toledo's weight
and speed and the advantage It has
gained by having a plethora of
coaches for Its line and back field,
Corvallis' fighting gridders are not
in the least disconcerted," says
Coach Kean. "They do not know
whether they can win, but they
haven't the slightest semblance of
nerves and will go into the gams
expecting to play at top speed and
fully determined to take advantage
of the minutest break that comes
their way. I am counting on the.
wonderful fighting spirit of my
boys, their speed and lnteiligenca
more than on any knowledge of the
game I may have been able to give
them to come out victorious."
Officials for tomorrow afternoon's
game will be: Sam Dolan, referee;
Vincent Borleske, umpire and R. B.
Ruzek, head linesman.
