By Webb Mfller (United Fns guff Oonwpondent) LONDON, Dec 6. (U. P.) Her hope blastedii her national pride badly jolted, jjondon still was rather dazed to day. . But they could hardly believe their idol was a broken IdoL Joe Beckett, the fighter they had trusted with the mis sion of bringing the world's champion ship to England, had unceremoniously been shoved back into nowhere. Hundreds of Americans and hundreds more of Frenchmen who had crossed the channel to see their poilu defend his crown were still recounting vividly as much, as they remembered of that French panther's activity during the 74 seconds, of that first round. HAD XOT STARTED 4 Verbal pictures were held up to the Londoners of the mighty hulk of Beckett sprawled face downward trying to get his legs and arms out of the coma into which they had been knocked by the wild right of the French aviator. Beckett still does not know what hit him. "I hadn't started to fight when I got it I didn't realize what happened," Beckett said today, in explaining the at tempt he made to get away from his seconds and go after the Frenchman when he had been revived. Manager Mortimer, who had planned a match with Jack Dempsey for the world's Championship, said : "Carpentier .made good one chance in a million ; that's all he had." ' Beckett's followers blame him for walking ito a trap like a child. Car pentier feinted low with his left, and the big hulky Englishman let his defense drop. The Frenchman then shot a ter rific right that seemed to start from his knee. It connected flush on his oppo nent's Jaw with a crash and . Beckett went don. 1 Opinion agrees that it was a fast- working1 brain with a perfect corordtna- tion of the fists that won for Carpentier.

It had been agreed on at the start of the season to play a three game., series be tween the' winner 'of the national circuit and the champion quintet of the Amer ican league, but little did the schedule makers realize that" a three cornered tie would take place in either section.

Although reports Indicate that the University of Oregon team la .favored, the committee, according to. telegraphic advices, plans to take a poll of the opin ions of coast conference coaches as to which team la the better, Oregon or Washington. SPAEiKfO FOB TIME To local football critics it appears as though the Pasedena committee is spar ring for time. Oregon's record for the season entitles it to the right to repre sent the coast. Oregon is assured of two votes in the poll, the Oregon Aggies and the Wash ington State college representatives be ing in favor of the Lemon-Yellow instl tution. . Should either California or Stan ford vote in favor of Oregon, there Is no doubt aa to which team will make the trip.

The Harvard team is said to be in favor of meeting the Center team. The Harvard squad has been ordered to resume, practice Monday. Advice from Washington states that at the present time the railroad admin istraUon has no intention ot stopping Harvard's trip to tne coast. JEFFERSON HI AND EVERETT MAY POOL TOLEDO EXPENSES Conference Delegates Assemble jn Seattle for Annual Meeting To Act on U. S. C. Application. A TELEGRAM from i the ScOtt high -school of Toledo, Ohio, to Hopkins Jenkins, principal of the Jefferson high, conveys the information that the Ohlo ans are scheduled to play football against a Massachusetts high school squad Saturday and the result of the match will be watched with interest throughout the country. The message stated that the Easterners would be only too glad to make the trip west .during the latter part of this month but that it would be necessary to furnish expense money for a squad of 20. Principal Jenkins immediately wrote to Everett, Wash., high school, asking if there was a. plan on foot to bring the Scott high school to Everett for a game. If such is the case, there is every reason to believe that the championship Jefferson high contingent and Everett could make agreements between them to take care of raising the money. There will be no post-season contest indulged in by Coach Quigley's athletes if plans fall to materialise to bring the Scott high nchool to Portland. The Democrats are anxious to don basketball suits, but they are willing to step on the gridiron once more if the famous four-tUme Eastern champions are to form the opposition for national prominence. Football Crowds In the U. S. Recall - Those of England The great crowds drawn by varsity football games by prominent college elevens recall the popularity of the soccer game in Great Britain. The best crowd on record was drawn for the English cup final of 1913 when a total of 1B0.028 attended the contest In London. The record attendance for a league match is the game between Chelsea and Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge, London on December 27,. 1909. when the rush of the turnstiles prevented an ac nnrmts munt but the estimated attend- ance was 66.000. The international match between Scotland and England at Hampdeh Park, Glasgow, March 28. 1912, drew 127,807, a record never surpassed. Baseball Decision Today New York, Dec. 5. (L N. S.)
