Dec. 11. Wrestling may become a major
. sport here if dual meets between the
Lemon-Yellow wearers and the Univer
sity of Washington as well as the Ore
gon Agricultural college maunen 'are
held next spring. Arvo Slmola, a senior,
who is coach of the wrestling aspirants,
says that never before has there been so
much Interest in the sport as there ir
now among the freshmen and varsity
candidates.
More than a score are working out
for the five positions on the Trosh squad
and about 15 athletes are battling for
arslty honors. . Inasmuch as Slmola
Is a student in the university he will be
eligible to compete as a member of the
team. Several years ago he reDresented
the University of Oregon against Wash
ington in a dual met, but he has not been
in the . game since -owing to his de
parture for military service. !
i Among the freshmen who ar showing
much promise are Whicorab Dorman,
Strachan and Rudd, while Dick Shim of
Ashland, Bob Sheppard of Portland,
Adams and Norton are making great
progress for varsity berths.
San Jose Plans on ,
New Athletic Field
Saa Jose. Cal, Dec 11. Citizens of
Ban joss are planning on building an
athletic park not only for the purpose
of staging high school contests but for
the purposa of housing the California
Stat league team of this city, in fact
-another purpose has been suggested for
the proposed field make It the training
grounds for major league or Pacific
coast circuit clubs each spring. One
drawback to the present ball park is
that it is rather rough, but all scouts
are . of the same opinion, that San Jose
offers the best weather and ; other fa
cilities to get tne cau players into condl
tion for a strenuous drive.
:. San Jose fans are not likely to see the
Detroit Tigers training here, for they
have, the distinction, if it can be called
tiiuch, of being the only town in the
Bear state to boo Ty Cobb out of the
bail park. This happened when the
Georgia Peach was playing an exhibition
game here last month.

Poundage
Gives Jack
By Earle C. Reeves
Interactional News Serric Staff Correspondent.
JONDON. Dec. llr This man
, Dempsey is certainly a bearcat.
Take it from Tom "Webster, the fa
mous English cartoonist, who comes
back from the wild and woolly U. S.
A. with all the etralght dope.
Give ear, for Tom is one concise and
Interesting talker when tie gets started,
and in seven short weeks In America he
seems to have lapped op considerable of
that well-advertised Yankee speed and
terseness Of expression.
UPBESSED WITH JACK
"Carpentier Is supposed to possess an
inexplicable attribute of hypnotism in his
eyes." says Webster,
"If Dempsey possesses any occult pow
ers then they lie in his two hands. Sport
ing men in the United States are agreed
that when Dempsey lands a punch the
dull,; sickening thud can be heard in Wall
street and also on the plains of Wyo
ming. ; v
"I have returned to the Old Country
with a mind deeply Impressed by the
fact that not only is Dempsey a man
eater, but that be could defeat the com
bined activities of Jack Johnson, Her
cules, Atlas. Melbourne. Inman two
platoons of Wurtembergers and Tarsan
of the Apes.
"But you can take it from me that
there is more truth than mere rumor in
the stories that have been : circulated
about Jack Dempseys terrific hitting.
Look at the man's record. He hardly
ever believes in a fight .going more than
two rounds.
IS BEST OF ALL
"Sporting writers, boxers' managers
and. boxers" themselves all agree that
Dempsey Is the greatest heavyweight
that has ever appeared in the ring. Now
theycan't all be wrong.- i
Then, after describing his visit to
Dempsey, whom he found to be "just an
ordinary fellow and like a big school
boy," Webster weighs the evidence:
"Let us weigh the situation up for
ourselves. There are four things that a
champion fighter must' have ability to
box. punch, speed and gameness. '
"Carpentier has all these qualities, but
so has Dempsey.
- "Everything appears to be equal, but
the American Is about 15 pounds heavier
than his opponent. There is an old box
ing axiom, that says: 'Ton can't give
weight away to a champion.'
"Going on the fact that 'a good big
un will- always beat a good little un
then I must give my vote to Dempsey."

amount of courage, acbordinr to Muller.
He is strictly a one-man dog, which will

sense of hearing and smell makes him
a formidable enemy to night prowlers.
The police departments of New Tork
and other large-Kastern cities have sev
eral of this breed of dogs to assist in
running down criminals.
Overseas veterans are 'loud in their
praise for the police dogs. Lieutenant

for them to hold positions for several
days.. It is said that the police dogs

Big 'Melons'
Cut by Mitt
And Mat Men
YORK, Dec. 11. Boxing
and wrestling are both going to
prosper in the metropolis giis win
ter, from the ooks of things.
The fistic game, always in demand. Is
going like a bouse afire. Fifteen round
bouts to decisions give the fight fan
his money's worth and he seems to have
plenty of the necessary, for every good
fight- card staged here is witnessed by
capacity crowds, especially those staged
by Tex Rickard in Madison Square
Garden.
DECISIONS 3TO WORBT
The, lure of the "kale has overcome
the fear of decisions that caused some
of our best little boxers, among them
champions, to steer clear of New Tork
when boxing first came back. One by
one they are being booked by the pro
moters to enter decision bouts, and be
fore the winter is over every champion
in this country will have shown his
wares in New Tork. s ,
The coming Dempsey-Brennan fight in
the Garden December 14 is going to pack
the house, not that the fight public ex
pects to see Dempsey find a tartar in
Brennan, but because everybody who
follows the game wants to get a first
look at the new champion and size him
up. Dempsey has not fought in New
Tork or vicinity since he whipped Fred
Fulton at Newark and the fans want to
get a line on his condition.
The fact that Dempsey Is matched
with Carpentier, who has already shown
his wares to Gotham fans, even though
Bat Xjevinsky didn't keep him busy at
it very long, lends color to any bout in
which the champion appears. So Demp
sey and Brennan are in for a fine melon
cutting. ' :
But with all the success of boxing, the
old mat game is holding its own.
Strangler Lewis recently won the right
to meet Joe Stecher when he wrestled
for Jack Curley at the Seventy-second
Regiment armory before a packed house,
and downed Wladek Zbyssko in an
hour and-26 minutes with the deadly
head lock.
MAT GAME GtfOD
Here was a red hot match. Zbyszko
came out of it so groggy and weak that
he had to be led from the ring by his
trainers. There was no stalling, no fak
ing. The match was wrestled on the
dead level and it made a tremendous hit,
just as all big matches have done here
since Curley revolutionised the game.
Wrestling is going to hold its own in
spite of boxing; There Is room for both
sports. New York has an element that
doesn't care a tinker's rap for a box
ing match, but would beg, borrow or
hock' the family plate to see a good
grapplefest. Many tf the wrestling fans
are found among the foreign. element.
There are enough of them. too. to pack
any house in the city.

Mid-Western
Teams Excel
a -
In Passing
By Henry I Farrell
United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK. Dec. 11. When
Gabriel or whoever acta in the
tooting role, blows the last horn,
perhaps an argument will be ended
on the relative merit of eastern and
western footbalL
Until some gridiron genius invents a
process by which the best team in the
West will be pitted annually against the
best team in the East, both sections
will have grounds for argument
But the same genius first must patent
a means of establishing the best team in
the East and West to fight it out.
UNABLE TO DOPE Tttf
Just now, with schedules made up al
most a year in advance, there is no way
Of doing either.
The difficulties in anticipating what
teams will be contenders a year later
are so Insurmountable that the only
solution of the problem seems to be
post-season games " between sectional
champions established by elimination.
The difficulty encountered in trying
to forecast contenders a year in advance
is well illustrated by the experience of
Penn and Tale in two instances this past
season.- . '
Colgate had on of the strongest
teams in the East last year. Tale had
a fair team, but was severely criticised
for arranging a "pink tea" schedule.
Tale, , therefore, went out last winter
and booked a game with Colgate. Col
gate this season was almost as bad as
she was good last ygar and Yale found
another set-up on her hands, winning
21 to 7.
FIGUKES DON'T COUNT
Penn. on the other hand, had a very
heavy schedule and was looking around
for something soft. She picked on Vir
ginia Military institute for a "practice
game." The southern cadets brought on
a team that beat the Quakers. 27 to 7.
Figures aren't worth the paper they're
scribbled on in football, but under the
existing conditions, the debate of both
sections has to be based on figures.
Here are this season's figures on
East-West tilts:
Favoring the East Penn State 20,
Nebraska 0; Harvard SI, Centre (geo
graphically, but western practically)
14 : Harvard 21, Valparaiso o ; Wash
ington and Jefferson 49, Kalamatoo 0 ;
I Boston college 13, Marietta 3.
Favoring the WestNotre Dame 27,
Army 17; Detroit S, Fordham 0.
PASS HELPS TEAMS
Football In the West isn't based upon
the foundation the game rests on in the
East. Systems of long standing in the
major eastern universities perhaps es
tablish sounder defense and more stable
offense. Along conservative lines of the
old massed game the East was better
than the West.
But the advent of the forward pass
has revolutionised the old game. ' De
spite the attempts of the old eastern
reactionaries to discredit and Ignore the
new game, the past season has proved
beyond doubt that the forward pass is
here to stay and that the team which
excels in the open game Is the team
that is going to win with only fait
line play and an ordinary charging
backfield.
The West is years ahead of the East
in ultra-open work. Coaches of the
West grasped the situation quicker and
went after the new game.
SCORES COUNT
Notre Dame brought the heretical in
fant to the East and achieved such
success with it that the East opened
its eyes and started to learn the game.
The West kept opening new fields of
possibilities and the East never has
caught up.
The open game is here and estab
lished. It is the game now. Without
doubt the West is far superior at for
ward passing. No team of the East
can compare with Notre Dame or Ohio
State in the expert manipulation of
passes.
Disregarding technicalities and fine
points of offense and defense, it is our
opinion that 'western football is better
than eastern football for the primary
reason that either Ohio Sat or Notre
Dame, carrying the banner of the West,
could defeat Princeton or Penn Btate,
the best of th East, if the westerners
showed the sam skillful and daring use
of th forward pass that has marked
their ' games this season.
Perhaps football as it is considered
an institution by th East, is sounder
than the pastime of th West but foot
ball's real merit is shown by score a
BELMONT PARK race track. New
Tork, long regarded as the finest
course in America, will eliminate an ob
jectionable feature, the horses being required-
to run to the left Instead of the
right This is the style on many English
courses, but next year the Belmont
course will conform to the " American
method, the horses running the right
way of the course. .

Cost of Equipment
Makes Tickets High
SL Louis, Mo., Dec. 11. Objectors to
the increased price of tickets to the
Harvard-Tale and Harvard-Princeton
football games last month did not stop
to consider that the cost of football
equipment went sky high since April C,
1917. It is said that it cost the Crimson
$35 for each outfit, and that does not
account for th new uniforms" that are
necessary after a hard game. Four
years ago the price of a football was
S5. but when Harvard met Princton in
1920 the price hit the 111 mark. Every
team throughout the united states which
found it necessary to purchase new
equipment during the 1920 campaign
suffered th sam experience. Hence
the high prio of football tickets In many
localities. -

It is planned to stage two, and pos

the season. ; The first event will be
staged January 16, when the new club
house will bei formally opened. Efforts
will be made to have shooters from all
parts of the t Northwest in attendance
for this event. , '
BID FOR BIG- SHOOT
The- club has decided to put in a bid
for the big Northwest shoot, which will
be staged in the early part of the sum

Club tourneys will be staged through
out the season. There are a number of
handsome trophies that have been held
over for a couple of seasons and it is
likely that they will be shot for dur
ing this year.
President Preston has received infor
mation from the A. T. A. that averages
of shooters in 1921 will be computed on
1000 registered targets. During the past
two years, no averages were compiled
on less than 2000 targets.

Slugging Records Shattered'Ben Leonard
K
Many High Scores Registered
t A LI, modern , reoords in the depart
ment of slugging were broken hi
the American and National leagues this
year by such' a wide margin that it
would be necessary . to go back Jnto
the decade before the twentieth century
to find a parallel. ;- , -
Although the abolition of freak pitch
ing did. not affect a considerable per
centage of the slabmen. It apparently
cut into the effectiveness of a lot of
second rater. There is no other ex
planation for the4 great increase In the
Quantity ofames in which high totals
were registered in both the run and
hit columns.
In proof thereof, there were 123 games
this year in the American league and
91 In the National in which a : team
rolled up a total of 15 or more,, hits
in one game. In 1919 there were only
68 such games in the American and
49 in the National, v This is an increase
of nearly 100 per cent in slugging.
In previous seasons the post-season
dope has been made up to include all
games in which a team registered 15
or more swats, but 15 became too com
mon to . be notable this year, conse

Long Kun Trophies
Are Cut Out by Trap
Association Heads
" Trapshooters of the United States and
Canada will be Interested In knowing
that the long run trophy proposition
which has been conducted by various
powder companies and the American
Trapshooting association in recent years
will be discontinued after this year.
Many thousands of shooters in past
years have won long run trophies, gold,
silver and bronze bars, pins, medals and
watches. Up to October 1 of this year
IS 90 shooters had made runs Of 60
straight or better. Runs of 60 to 99
counted one point for ' a shooter, runs
of 100 to 149 counted three points, and
runs' over 150 counted five points. For
15 points a shooter received a silver
medal, for 25 points a gold medal and
for 60 points a gold watch. Forty-five
shooters have won silver medals, 0 have
won gold medals and four . have won
watches this season.
Long run bars have been collected by
shooters for years. Some shooters have
had the bars mad into belts. Fred Bills
of Chicago has on string of gold bars
over six feet in length and Forest Mc
Nier of Houston, Texas, Juts two strings
each over three feet In length. Th long
run trophy proposition was an expensive
one, and in these times It was not pos
sible to give as good trophies a in the

NEW YORK, Deer 11. (I. N. S.)
"Pol If Vrhfl mV.hva ensnaAta
that Benny Leonard has lost some of '
his class were' disillusioned as a re- -
suit of his recent bout with Joe Well
ing, the sturdy Chicago boy.
Welling, one of the toughest light
weights ' in the business, stuck with
Leonard for IS long and weary rounds. r
taking a terrific beating and giving
Benny quite a little to worry about But
Benny was at no time in what migl.
have been regarded dire danger of lose .
lng his crown, and th title looks pretty
safe where it is for some time to come
unless we are sadly ; mistaken in tht
way the Bronx boy looks and act, w -
Leonard found Welling easy enough 1 '
to hit but a tough lad to handle, be-
cause Joe shook off some of Benny
luwr mmpnM nnn K,nr nil fnmmv nspv i..-
for more, always ready to sail in with
the hammetv-and-tonas stuff and alwavn
trying. Little wonder he had Leonard
worried Leonard, who, when he can hit "
bis man wherever he wants to, la ac
customed to seeing him go down and
out " i r --,. -
Th fact that It took Benny It rounds
to defeat Welling is nothing much
against the champion, but a great boost
for th lightweight from Chicago, who
demonstrated that he is as rugged and
willing as any of the great lightweights -6f
old who knew how to take a beating. ,
T.MnnrA can hit I Welllnsr will testify
to that But welling can take a punch
flush on the jaw and , ahak it off. and
Leonard simply got weary hammering
him and moving out of the way of Joe's
well-meant and heavy swings.
At the end of the twelfth round it
appeared almost certain that Welling
would be able to go th limit With th v
champ, and if It hadn't been for on
thing he might have done so. He let up
for a Traction of a minute In th' thir
teenth round, and In the passing of thst
flitting unit of time Leonard' lightning
like left hand shot out found th mar?;,
was followed by a terrific right-cross
that shook Welling to his shoes, and
poor blonde Joe was a beaten boy. Un
doubtedly Welling would have lost the
decision to Leonard on points bad it
been necessary for the judges or the
referee to render on. As it happened '
tm referee did the logical thing, and
ssved Leonard the unpleasant task of
finishing a man who could not defend
himself. j
