Coy. Better a mil.
When the blue eleven trotted onto
the field and lined up Coy was in the
position recently assigned to him at
. right end. Throughout the first half he
played the position dropping back be
hind the line whenever it was necessary
for Tale to punt. The arrangement did
not work. "
Tale fought a good fight, but there
was something lacking in her offense.
. The Tigers, on the other hand, sur-
Srlsed everjr -one with the snap and,
ash of their sttack. They went into
the lead in -the first period, and at the
end of the half the Princeton grand
stands were delirious with toy.
The second half was started with Coy
again on the end position. Still Tale
could not score. - Then came a shift.
The young blonde giant was called back
of the line, and Fields took bis place at
right end.

Multnomah club's husky football team
won a well-earned game from Whit

touchdowns to one, the score being 11
to V The weight of the "winged M"
feam combined with the . woffderful
playing of Frank 81aker and Dow Wal
ker and the splendid headwork of Cap
tain "Stump" Btott enabled thera to
triumph over the lighter missionaries.
At teamwork and in the use of the
forward pass the collegians were far
better than the clubmen. During the
first half the sons of Marcus were so
fast that the clubmen appeared as
plowhorses against blooded gallopers.
Had they not just passed through a
gruelling game with Oregon Agricul
tural college their speed might have1
given over a victory.
If yesterday's showing is any cri
terion, Slaker must have been a mar
vel when he played fullback for the
Vnlversity of Chicago eleven. He
showed flash after flash yesterday of
his old time form that won him a
place pn the All-American and the rec
ognition of being the greatest plunging

-The rest was easy. The bull dog was
thorouarhly aroused. Coy had come into
his own, and his masterly work put new
life into the entire team. After the
ball bad moved up and down for a few
eichangea it went to Yale on Prince
ton's 46-yard line.
Coy was called back and smashed into
the Tigers' right wing. Booth dived
at him, but was shaken off. Bishop
made a flying tackle, but could not hold
the youn giant. Read essayed to pull
him down, but phllbln warded off the
tackle, and side by side the two set sail
for the Tigers' goal. It looked like a
sure touchdown, but Dillon came up
from beHind and pulled Coy down after
a 18-yard run. Three fresh Tigers were
thrown into the lineuo In the hope of
stopping Tale's human battering ham.

Tigers Best ta iTirst Ball.
' Princeton did her beat work in the
first half, when Tibbott proved a terror
to Yale's none too speedy ends Her
one score came well toward the end of
the first half, after Tibbott had brought
off the most spectacular play of the
day, a 60-yard run around Tale's right
wing.
The next play started from the
Blues'
60-yard line. -Tlboott crashed
through Lllley and Hains, shook off
Bingham and neatly dodged Fields' fly

over the line for a touchdown, waller

Throughout the game Princeton
worked the on side kick and the for
ward pass a number of tithes to, ad

appeared the faster. - Tale, however, had
the strength and won the game by re
sorting at orltical times to straight
football and old-fashioned mass play.
forward pass from Borieske to Martin
netted gains that varied from 10 to SO
yards on each play. Four times the
stratagems of Blanchard worked out
by the fast, back field from Walla Walla
brought the ball within striking dis
tance of Multnomah's goal when a cost
ly fumble or misdirected play would
f ive the pigskin to the locals. Cushman
rled three place kicks, one of them be
ing from the 96-yard line but he missed
the goal by Inches each time.
A brllllan feature of the half was a
40-yard dash through the clubmen by
Borieske, who caught a punt on his
own 80-yard line. The grand defensive
playing of the Whitman captain forced
Multnomah to punt time after time.
Multnomah's touchdowns came in the
second half. The first was made by
Blaker "aided by Captain Stott, in the
early minutes of the half. Fumbled
punts had resulted in Multnomah get
ting tne Dan on wmtmans iu-yara
line. The Walla Wallans held and
punted to Smlthaon, who returned the
ball SO yards. Blaker then took the
ball and two plays emaahed over the
line. Stott failed to kick an easy goal.
Multnomah then kicked off to Bor
ieske, who came back to Whitman's
10-yard line. An outside kick by
Bralnard was seized by Bmlthson on
Whitman's ! 5-yard ilne. The clubmen
then started out determined to cross
the collegian's goal but so sturdy was
the defense put up by the light eleven
that Stott was forced to kick. Pllklng
ton took a low punted ball and it was
first down for Multnomah on the
Whitman 2Ryard line. On the next
play Dow Walker Juggernauted around
right tackle for SO yards. Slaker in
two Irresistible line smashes took the
ball the remaining distance. Stott
kicked goal. Score, 11 to 5.

After the ball had been kept In the
air most of the time for the ensuing
IS minutes Schmidt, who had succeeded
Bralnard when the latter was knocked
out tackling Walker, booted the ball
50 yards to Multnomah e 13-yard line,
where Oldrlght. the missionary rirht
end, fell on he oval. Borieske dived
through tne center or tne line ror
eight yards and then for one. The
collegians with only four yards to go
might have easily made an end run
but "instead tried the line and were
unable to break through the wall-lUte
defense and the clubmen again took
the ball. Rader punted out of danger.

nately until the half ended with the

as one of the most wonnerrul players
In the country. His returna of punts
were seldom stopped until he had made
from 10 to 40 yards.
Multnomah Bedeema Herself.
Multnomah to a large extent redeemed
herself. In the second half for her poor
work in the first half. She won by
beef and brawn, the lighter and more
ncli'nttric team or wmiman nattering
Itself to pieces against the stonewall
of the local line.
Multnomah's sains were nearly all
made through her opponent's line. The
.forward pase and quarterback kick,
which were uaed so freely by Whitman,
especially In the first half and nearly
always successfully, were resorted to
by the local team hardly at all.
Multnomah's straight line bucks were
successful only to a limited degree dur
ing th first half and she was fre
auently obliged to punt on the third
down. But something seemed to have
happened to the local team" while they
were off the field during the intermis
sion, for they went st the game with
a snap and vigor that had been la
mentablr lacking: during the flret half.
Whitman, on the other hand, appeared
tired and weak, and fallen to make the
expected gains: She, too. was frequent-'
ly compelled to kick, on mailing con
siderable gains in this way through
Multnomah is , fumbMna- of the ball.
Twli- rfurtn the second half Whitman
had the ball wlthtn a few feet of her
opponent's gdat. but lacked the strength
to carry it over, and Multnomah got
the ball on downs and kicked out of
danger.
For ao-Die reason Whitman abandoned
the. forward pess In ,tbe second half,
resorting; to It. only once or twice.

San Francisco, Nov. 14. The Novem

soon 8tanley Ketohel, the shift special

win vet together In the roped arena.
That the fight will be on to remember

tlme what we would like to know is
whether or not what happened at Los
Angeles can be taken as a true test of
the relative merits of the rival mtd-
dleweights. ...
Papke says that while being defeat
ed at Milwaukee he learned how to turn
tha tables on Ketchel. and that he
made use of the knowledge gained when
given the opportunity at uo Angeies.

The thing Is, will the Information
? leaned bv FapKe at Muwauxee ana put

equal service on Thanksgiving day?
Papke, says he discovered at Milwaukee
that the way to beat Ketchel .was to
crowd him: to press close and "give him
no room to work his fatal shifts and
swlnra. Aa a rule aha vanaulsher and
the vanquished - in a prise, ring affair

to- the causes leading up to defeat, and
It la even ao In the nreaent Instance.
Ketchel say it was not a matter of
faulty style with him, but rather the
landing of a lucky punch by Papke
wniie tne corneal was young.
Assuming, for the sake of argument.
that PaDke states the case correctly,
and that it was what he noted in the
Initial fight that enabled him to win
the second time out, may not Ketchel

this reason that he Is able to ovtr
come superior weight. It was this
definite knowledge of what to do at
tha right tlma that enabled him to tip
Tom Jenkins, champion of the. world
before Ootch. Jenkins weighed nounds
and pounds mora than O'Connell but tha
superior weight had little effect on tha
ahlfty youngster. O'Connell is now a
couple of years older and necessarily
batter knitted than , when ha . took a
fall out of Jenkins.
O'OonnaU'a OplaloB of Boo.
O'Connell Is confident that Dr. Roller
can not throw him In a handicap match,
but his backers are desirous that ha
become mora accustomed to tha western
styls of wrestling, which varies some
what from the trans'-Mlsslsslppt method,
before he meets Roller, who Is the best
known' exponent of the style which pre
vails on the coast. If this policy Is
adhered to then It Is very likely fhat
O'Connell will consider tha Mclntyre
challenge before any of the others. Mo
Intyre weighs about SO pounds mora
than the local champ.

weight division who is anxious to show
that O'Connell Is not "all tha punklns"

Spokane crack. - Helnrlchs is a good
one and would undoubtedly give the
Multnomah man a hard rub. But it Is
almost a foregone, conclusion that he
would go the route of Dick Hart and
Strangler Smith.
May Oat Champion Bothner.
A match that would attract world
wide attention may .also be given tha
Portland fans If George Bothner, the
present lightweight champion. . of the
World, "can . be induced to come to Port
land. No man on the mat today, not
ven Champion Frank Gotch, Is cred

covered an antidote for .Papke's anti
dote? He aays he has a. punch this
time that It is impossible to get Inside
of, which shows that he haa been heark
ening to what Billy Papke has to say
on the subject. This of Itself suggests
that Ketchel may open up a little differ
ent in tha corn in battle and be harder
to catch off guard.
Papke tha Better nan.
But to tha general question, "Was the
Lou Angeles fight a true test of the
merits of Ketchel and Papke 7" the an
swer seems to be "Yes," otherwise
f aolte. who was a 10 to 4 chance at Los
lor the bout that is pending.
. Here are the arguments used to Jus
tify the support given Papke:
the besting administered to Papke
by Ketchel at' Milwaukee was not any
thing like as complete as the trouncing
Ketchel recetved from Papke at Los
Angeles.
Papke. after being unhorsed bv a
"sneak blow" at the start of the Mil
waukee fight, didn't "stay beat.' He
was stung snd rattled for a while, but
ha jrradually recovered both vim and
confidence, and was rapidly pulling level
with his opponent when the limit of the
10 rounds was rsached.
Tn this connection Manager Jones is
authority for the statement -that when
Papke came to his corner for a minute's
rest st the end' of the ninth round ha
said, "Too bad this fight is not for fiva
more rounds."
Ketchel On tolas sad.
Ketchel didn't show a flash of win
ning form after Papke got to him In '
the first round at Los Angeles. The
Mlchlgander was strong enough, ac
cording- to the Papke view of the mat
ter, and lsshed out with his accustomed
vigor. But ha was outclassed and
harmless. Ha was met and mastered at
every point and would have been tum
bled much sooner, only that Papke was
careful to a fault and wanted to make
sure of his quarry.
These, in short, are the reasons ad
duced for Papke's occupying "top side''
In the betting, but, as the record shows,
"one best beta" go Wrong oftener In
pugilism than in other departments of
sport. As Ketchel says, no one in pos--
aesslon of a PaDke dooI ticket will b
permitted to cash until the referee has
rendered his decision.
The Welch-Attel Match.
The Los Angeles snorts hava some
thing atchy to look forward to In the
ireaaie weisn-Aoe Attej match which
la carded for Thanksgiving eve. Welsh,
tha English lad. combines extreme
cleverness with a fair amount of punch
ing: ability, and as Abe Is similarly en
dowed, the pair should furnish a highly
interesting dlspisy or nnticurrs. weisn
haa been made the favorite In the bet
ting, the reason probably being that
he will be a few pounds heavier than
Attel. This is in pursuance of the
old line of argument that a good big
man Is a better investment that a good
little man, although in tha case In
question it Is more than probable that
tne weight dirrerenca will cut aNsmali
figure
Altera Philosophy.
.There "Is this "to It. however.' Attel
always fights with more abandon when
na is pitted against sn opponent who
belongs in a class above him. He la
a shrewd- philosopher. Is Abev. He
knows that If he is worsted by a light- .
weight he can fall back upon the ex
cuse, "I went out of my class." and
ha seems-to keep this tn view every
second he is fighting.
