PUGILISTIC MENU IS
BURNS-KETCHEL GO
JJes of West Are Cast
K):
By Will J. Slatteryv
Ban Francisco, Doc. S. -Tha eyes of
the western porting; world are- at pres
ent focused upon 8ani Langford,: the
formidable Boston black, who is now
engaged in preparing himself for his
San Francisco try out against Fireman
Jim Flynn before Sam Berber's t club
" December 17. That Langford has taken
them all by- storm i putting; K-In the
mildest form. His coming has caused
more stit in local pugilistic circles than
anything since the fall f Joe Oans
before the redoubtable Battling Nelson
ix months ago.--- ''. .:-..
Everi since Stanley Ketchel came to
the front as a" great middleweight boxer,
all the followers of the game-have been
looking forward to a go between him
and Langford, But just at the critical
moment Ketchel's manager, 'Joe O'Con
nor, saw nt to draw the color line ana
therefore, the chances of a meeting be
tween the pair were dimmed and it was
not believed that the big Boston smoke
would deem It worth while to come all
the way across the continent to engage
any other man In combat. Therefore,
when Berger landed htm for Flynn, the
trick immediately created a furore here
ana now Dig earn is tue reigning sensa
tion. -
Langford sura looks every Inch the
wonderful fighter he is Raid to be. With
arms like those of a giant gorilla, a
lithe, superbly muscled body, tapering
legs and shoulders like the only Bob
Fltzslmmons, Langford looms up in im
posing form. He Is as black as the ace
of spades and rather glum and sullen
(if disposition. He knows nothing save
right and has never tried to learn any-
thing else. The bitter dregs of the
knockout potion never have been tasted
by him, though he has managed to go
through as many as 20 gruelling rounds
with the giant Jack Johnson within the
jast three or Tour years.
In Flynn, Langford will meet a tear
ing, rushing heavyweight, who will keep
milling while there is an ounce of
strength left in his body. But with all
"his staying powers, nobody concedes
the Colorado fireman the ghost of a
chance against Ebony 8am. They are
all anxious to see the fight for the
reason that It will be the bow of the
much discussed black thunderbolt, and
.may possibly pave the way for a match
between him and either Ketchel or
Tommy Burns in the near future.
According to the present layout, the
next great pugilistic bill of fare will be
. a meeting in this city between Burns
and Ketchel; that Is, of course. If the
champion of the uince orchard does
not change his mind again and go back
on the latest, statement he has Issued.
In a letter to the writer the other
day. .Burn scoffed at all the stories
to the effect that he .was. about to quit
the prize ring and announced that no
matter what might be the outcome of
his fight with Johnson in Melbourne on
the day after Christmas, 1 would come
to San Francisco and take on Ketchel.
He went on to explain that the Mich
igan lion's scalp would be his dish and
that he would be willing to make sac
rifices to grab It off.
.lust an soon' as Ketchel beard this, he
announced that he would do no more
fighting till lie had clinched a match
with the heavyweight champion. Ketch
el is as sure that he can trim Burns
as Burns is of his ability to hang one
on Ketch, and if confidence goes for
anything in the roped arena, this pair
is burdened with enough of it to carry
a Ions route.
There is no question but that Burns
. would prove a wonderful card In San
Francisco. Though he is not rated with
John L. Sullivan, Jim Corbett, Jim Jef
fries, Boh Kitsslmmons or any of the
great heavyweights of the old days.
Burns has proved a sensational per
former since he bowled poor old Bill
fqulres over a year and a half ago.
Ills sensational invasion and cleanup of
the stars of Rngland, Ireland and Aus
tralia has made his name a byword all
over the civilized world, and his return
to the land where he got his start surely
gives promise of being a sporting event.
Ketchel is a card again a bigger one.
In faot, that he ever waa His decisive
victory 'over Bill Papke on. Thanksgiv
ing day gave him back his title and
with it more prestige than he ever had.
Outside of Burns and Langford. there;
is practically nooody lor the Michigan
lion take on. It stands to reason
that he must fight now that he Is young
and ambitious and full of the fire of
battle. He will not last long as a ring
star and he realizes as well ss'does
anybody that this is tho time for him
to make hay.
Ketchel will not leave San Francisco
till after he has seen Langford per
form. He Is figuring on a match with
the big Boston smoke if. perchance, his
looked for engagement with Burns falls
through. Therefore, one big ring at
traction is in store for the multitude
early in the spring and Ketchel figures
s one of the principals beyond the
question of a doubt.
There Is no chance to get Bat Nelson
Into the ring before next March arthe
earliest. The lightweight champion -is
lust beginning to realise some profits
from his holdings in Hegewlsch and the
sounds of the Jingling dollars are far
sweeter to his ears than the whizzing of
boxing gloves or tue shouts of his ring
side supporters.
It was hoped that Nelson and McFar
Isnd would get together in Coffroth'e
Mission street ring about New Year's
day. but this hope has flown with the
latest announcement from the Hps of
the champion. However, the wise ones
are sure that tbe great lightweight bat
Stanley
't .'sBslsalssss
oia Ebony Sam Lang ford
tle will be staeed ere the year Is. out.
There la too much .money in it for
either to overlook, provided the game
does . not die before then and it is no
cinch that it won't. .. '
Cof froth made an attempt to match
Joe Oans. and McFarland for his New
Tear's day card, but like Nelson, ' the
old master is getting a little easy money
out or tils' Baltimore resort ana he re
fused to reenter the 'ring 'again, espe
cially In a city as far away as San
Francittco. . r -t . -r.r. ;
The -only ones left are Freddie Welsh,
the sensational little English light
weight, and McFarland. This matcn
has an awful good look to it for Cof-
froth, and he will make it if such a
thing is possible. Both men have de
cleared their intention to meet and now
the only question that stands between
them and the promoter is that of terms.
Like all modern pugs, they want the
whole house and until they are willing
to sign up tor a reasonable percentage,
they will be passed up by the shrewd
promoter, . ..
Welch's sensational victory over Abe
Alien in ios Angeies inanicsgiving ev
ening, has stamDed him as a wonder
ful ooxer. Never before in his long
ring career has the American feather
weight champion been made a monkey
of by any fighter. He stood off many
a lightweight in bis time and boxed
Battling Nelson to a standstill in IS
rounds, so his defeat at' the hands of
weicn is an awiut diow to nis priae.
Welch is a vegetarian and claims that
he does not know the taste of meat. He
makes a study of -various vegetables,
cereals and nuts and uses a new line of
stuff every time he trains for a fight
According to the little Britisher, this
sort of diet adds muscle and brawn to
his body without putting on arfy ex
cess weight. Therefore, he has never
had any trouble In reducing, though he
is a tall, big framed lad. In tbe past,
he has demonstrated that he can make
weight la any climate.
,
Joe Corbett Is as good as selected to
captain and manage the San Francisco
baseball team next year and his selec
tion meets with the approval of every
fan in this city. Just as soon as Pres
idents Johnson and PuHiam of the Am
erican and National leagues arrive, the
deal will be fixed up and Joe will en
ter upon his new duties.
Though he has been out of profes
sional ball for the past four years. Cor
bett has been quietly working out among
the bushers and at the present time,
he seems to be there with the seme old
bewildering line of curves and speed
that made him famous as a pitcher on
the Baltimore Orioles, the greatest of
all ball teams some 14 years ago. If
Corbett can go the route and take his
regular turn In the box, he will prove
a tower of strength to -the team for he
Is a natural born leader and a man who
has always commanded the respect of
ivers and fans alike.
When Corbett takes command of the
Seal squad. It is better than an even
monev bet that there will be many and
varied changes In tho lineup. Last
year's team was a bitter disappointment
to everybody. It started with the bright
est of prospects, but constant wrangling
and crabbing all along the line: wrecked
the aggregation ere If had well entered
the race. Tho stockholders of the club
put In a holler when the gate receipts
began to fall off toward the middle
of tho season and as far back as then,
a change of management was decided
upon.
There will bo plenty of work for
Pulllam and Johnson to undertake upon
their arrival here in about two weeks.
It will be up to them to decide whether
or -not the war between the Coast leaguo
and the California State league shall
continue or whether the dove of peace
will perch In the camp.
The state league officials demand that
all their star men, players like Hen
derson Shay. Moskiman,, Chase, Hack
ett, Strlcklett and others, remain with
the league and that the national com
mission waive all claim to them. This
is quite an exorbitant demand and will
prove a bitter pill for the big leaguers
to swallow, so It will take all the
strategy and cunning of the two pres
idents to bring about a peaceful set
tlement.'" The outlaws have refused to
treat with President Ewtng of the
Coast league people and thus the difflT
cult task has fallen to the two biggest
men m naseDan.

By E.I D. Angel, Physical Director
of Oregon Agricultural College."
The problem of selecting a team of
players, most representative of the best
ability in the northwest Is a speculation
on the cart of many critics, and the
very fact that never do two men agree
on their selections makes even the
best choice Inconclusive.
The men chosen by the writer for his
all-northwest team are based upon the
individual style of playing in a number
of games. Most of the championship
games have been witnessed by tho
writer, and, in his judgment, a team
made up of the men named would rep
resent the best playing ability of any
northwest aggregation of gridiron war
riors. Some men chosen in this arti
cle are undoubtedly the best that tho
northwest has produced during the en
tire season. This is evidenced by the
fact that a number of them have been
chosen by every other critic. For in
stance. Wolff, the great halfback, who
has played such remarkable football for
three years for the Oregon Agricul
tural college, was named unanimously
by every football critic in the north
west as a member of his chosen ream.
While Wolff stands alone as a unani
mous choice, the other players, Coyle of
Washington, Borleske of Whitman and
Babcock of Washington, were so gen
erally selected that there Is little doubt
but that they are t their positions
the best that could be chosen.
Cherry at Center.
In selecting a team the first position
to be filled by a critics Is that of cen
ter, and for this position there Is little
doubt but that Cherry with his 230
pound bunch of muscles and energy
is the best that the northwest has pro
duced this yeaT. Cherry has had a long
and varied experience, playing stellar
root. Dan two years ago on trie u. a. t;.
team. Later as a member, of the Wash
ington State college team he kept up
nil reputation as one of the best and
most aggressive centers playing the
game. Cherry would doubtless have
little trouble in making the varsity
team In any of the large colleges in
the country, as his weight, strength
and speed make him a valuable man.
Taking the right side of the line the
one man who stands out most conspic
uously in weight, experience and
strength, . Is Babcock of -Washington,
whom the writer selects for the right
guard position on his all-northwest
team. Babcock In additimi to being a
splendid choice, impresses everybody
with his strength and weight. He is
able to stand and take the weight of.
the opposing team In addition to his
speed and afitlity to run with tho ball.
This is a very difficult play for a guard
to make, as In running from a guard
position a man of great weight is natur
ally thrown off his balance and It re
quites much agility to regain a balance
and momentum to make consistent gains
over the opposite line. Babcock has this
skill and in his game against Oregon
at Eugene it was largely due to these
Filays from Oregon's left side of the
Ine. that won the game for Washing
ton. What About Moullen?
For the other guards there Is little
question but that Halm of Washington
state more nearly compares In ability
with Babcock than any other northwest
player. But critics in selecting a team
are confronted with a peculiar problem
or question that arises. What shall we
do with Moullen of Oregon? Moullen
has playing qualities that would make
him great either as a guard or a tackle,
and has the further distinction of be
ing one of tho greatest place kickers
the entire country has ever produced.
The writer does not wish to Indicate
that Moullen would necessarily weaken
the all-northwest team by playing
guard, but simply states that if it were
not for his kicking ability he would not
be In line for this splendid honor. A
man who has saved his team from de
feat on so many occasions must be given
recognition. Moullen's record of four
place kicks in the Idaho game, making
the 16 points tnat won the game for
Oregon, and his two place kicks In the
O. A. C. game, -netting eight points that
L Copyright 1908 by j2TXT
NSgS. Hart Schaffner Ic Marx
won the game for his team, entitle him
to the fullest credit.
Therefore, taking into consideration
the fact that Moullen plays a fairly
good game, he is placed on the other
side of the line and given the position
as all-northwest left guard.
Several Classy Tackles.
In tackles the northwest has been
fortunate in witnessing tho. development
of . several men of great ability. In
brainy playing, ami in spite or tue Tact
that he is Hunter than any other tackle
who has been considered. Pendergrass
of O. A. C, stands foremost and su
preme, He weighs but 17 poundw, but
has a spirit and energy that are
worth more than additional weight. He
has that real ability which coaches and
trainers are always looking for, in that
he is able to use every ounce of his
strength and concentrate every bit of
his power at tne critical moment. Aaoea
to this ability Pendergrass had the
knack of deceiving all opponents as
in what his next olav would be. He
never did the same thing twice, and in
this regard resembles In his style of
playing that stellar middle west per
former. "Art" Curtis, whoso weight was
Just the same as that of Pendergrass,
and who, while playing on the Uni
versity' of Wilconsin eleven, was unani
mously chosen for the all-middle west
football team for four successive years.
Pendergrass last year was selected
as all northwest guard In .Spauldlng's
guide. Because of his all around abil
ity and real Judgment the writer se
lects him not only as northwest tackle
but also as captain of the team.
While Pendergrass was considered
the strongest man on the O. A. ('.
line, his mate JamlBon, because of his
ereat wclelit and strength and real
speed for a man of his nl.e, cannot be
overlooked ror tne ouier lacKio position.
Jamison is the largest college man
plaving a tackle position in the north
west and in addition to his huge bulk
he has a speed which a much lighter
man might envy. His powerful
strength as an offensive player was
always in evidence and many of the
O. A. O. games were won through the
big gains Jamison made in the punts.
Jamison was also clever at carrying
the ball and when O. A. C. wanted a
few yards he was invariably called
upon.
Good Ends Scare.."
Selection of all northwest ends has
been a problem most critics have found
dlfficSfrt to solve. For right end the
writer would select Kavldge of Idaho,
who was named for this position by
most of the critics last year and who
has been the choice of many critics
this year. He is a little hit better
than any other end playing this season,
though Grimm of Washington, Dobbins
and Brodle of O. A. O. and Dodson
of Oregon are worthy of honorable
mention.
Doubtless most critics would dis
agree as to the selection for the other
end of the line. I would place Main
of Oregon In this position, for several
Papke. -y
reasons. In the first place. It has been
noted that there are very few high
class ends playing northwest football
this year. In the selection of an all
northwest team It is the desire of
everyone to choose an eleven that would
be the most effective against any op
ponent. With this Idea in mind Main
Is picked because he lias shown spirit
and ability, two points that go to
make a high class end. Main's spirit
and science as tackle in the Idaho
game proved him to be the best man
on" the Oregon line. Later as halfback
In the Washington and the O. A. C.
fames he showed that he was the de
ensive marvel of the Oregon team. He
Is fierce and fair. Taking into con
sideration his great strength and power
as well as his speed, the writer selects
Main of Oregon as the northwest end.
In the back field there is little doubt
but that Coyle of Washington. Is the
man for quarterback on the all north
west. He possesses splendid Judgment
In running his team and selecting
plays that aro moRt . effective against
his opponents. Added to tnis is his
almost suDernatural ability In collect
Ing and running back punts. Before
his career -Is ended he will doubtless
rank with such men as Dillon, Knker-
shall apd Steffens in this position.
Clarke Is Skillful.
For fullback on the all northwest
team Clarke of Oregon Is among the
first. Clarke is good on both offensive
and defensive playing, using all of his
treat strenarth and - weight with rea
judgment and skill. He has had long
exnerienee and plays at all times with
power and head work and keeps his
eyes open every moment for a good
Dlav to deceive men of less anility
Borleske of Whitman and Wolff of
O. A. C. aro chosen for right half and
left half, respectively.
Borleske la one of the best players
it has been the writer's privilege to
see in any northwest game. He is
hullt. on the style of Heston, the
famous Michigan back, though some
what smaller, and plays the same kind
of a game. He is one of those rare
persons who do not know defeat. He
Is doubtless the best halfback In the
northwest and puts up a better game
than anv other man playing In the
same position.
Wolff of O. A. C. is selected for
the other halfback position and Is the
one man who nas Deen cnosen unani
mously to be on the northwest team
In the writer's experience there have
heen few Olavers who so impressed
him as Wolff, whose 190 pounds of
muscle make him a terror to opponents.
If Wolff were nearer the Atlantic
coast his work would doubtless give
him the credit of being chosen for the
all eastern team.
This team. Cherry .as center. Babcock
as right guard, Jamison as right

STUDENTS DIVIDED ON

lis, Dec. 5. Since the O. A. C.-Ores;on
rama in Portland November 21, opinion
Is verv much divided relative to the
advisability of Playing the annual game
In the metropolis. Those who want the
same in Portland contend that it is to
the Interest of both institutions, in tnat
It brings them prominently before the
people of the state and helps athletics
financially, also that it provides a neu
tral field and better facilities for ac
commodating a large crowd.
The arsuments against playing the
game In Portland are that it ceases to
be a true college game and is played
for pecuniary gain. It costs the stu
dents, many of whom are hardly able to
stand the expense, much more money
and in some enses makes It Impossible
for all the students to attend.
In order for both Oregon and O. A.
C. to perform In Portland it would per
haps be possible for Oregon to nly
their annual ram. with Idaho on Mult
nomah field and for O. A. C. to make a
lasting contract with Washington State
college for a game in roruana. A game
between the Argles of Oregon and
Washington would prove a great draw
ins1 card and would be a financial suc
cess. It Is thought tbat a majority of
the . students . ravor siren an arrange
ment and hope that the athletic man
agement win taKe some aucp. action in
arranging the schedule, for next year.
During the past three years O. A. C.

that a better one will be secured ror
