BEST FOOTBALL fEATS OF
YEAR ON MANY FIELDS

Without a doubt the greatest feat
in foot ball for the past season was
the long run made by Sprackling,
Browns quarterback. who picked
the ball on Browns five yard line
and ran the remaining length of the
field, scoring a touchdown.
Sprackling ploughed through the
whole team of Carlisle players, and
the feat can only be considered as
another "Paladino" stunt.
Coy of Yale has done the best
punting of the foot ball season. Be
side placing and timing his punts
effectively, he has driven out a few
good long ones. On several occa-
sions he has booted the pigskin a
full rs yards. Against Princeton
Coy's punts were more effective
than all of Yale's line rushcs. At
Cambridge he punted less, but
kicked couple of field goals.
Cunningham, champion goal
kicker of last year, was the only
toe artist to outshine Coy in kick
ing field goals. His longest drive
between the posts was from the 35
yard line. This is hardly to be COM
pared to the long shots of John De

WILL COASTERS HAVE
SPOKANE IN 1911?

A Greater Pacific Coast league
for 1911, with California domination
guaranteed by five clubs in the
south and three in the north is the
dream of Cal Ewing and his Coaster
confreres.
Bob Brown is a good guesser. He
figured out Ewing's scheme the
first shot. In exchange for the priv
ilege of playing Northwestern
league ball in Portland in 1910, per-
missing must be given for the turn
ing over of the Seattle and Spokane
franchises to the Coaster organiza-
ton in 1911.
What will the NOrthwesterners
do? Will they vote to exclude Port
land and temporarily preserve the
remainder Of the league, or give up
the fight to the Coasters. permit
the Californians to grab the big
cities of the northwest and relegate
the remaining clubs of the North
western league to a B or c league
struggling for mere existence.
Whether or no the majority of
the Northwestern mOguls vote to
exclude Portland from their circuit
for the coming season, it is evident
that the Mercedes and Dugdale
are planning to desert the class B
league and enter the Coaster fold.
Things look mighty blue for the
northern circuit.
The one factor in the situation
which offers a solution of the prob
lem satisfactory to the Northwest
erners is the attitude of Congress,
man McCreedie. The judge states
that he is in favor of an eight club
league, but with four clubs in the
north and four in the south. If he
sticks to this, the negotiations with
the Coasters may be called off, or
the class ! league so organized as
to satisfy the class B mOguls.
Neither President Joe COIN or
Manager Bob Brown are willing to
make any statement as to what
they intend to do in the matter.

Witt and the experts of a few years
ago.
The forward pass has never been
in favor with the players. True,
the spectators enjoy the uncer-
tainty of the play, but the partici-
pants in the game can only look on
the forward pass as a delusion. Sci
dom has it proven of of advantage,
while most of the accidents are
laid to it.
AT the present time, when it is a
certainty that the rules will be
changed back other proper con-
ditions, the forward pass should
only be discussed as a relic of the
late foot ball season.
Crane, Lafayette's crack player,
made the longest pass of the whole
season, Against Lehigh university,
he passed to lrmshler for SO yards.
There has been some great tack
ling in the big games. Fitzpatrick,
the wonderful Yale end, performed
a spectacular feat in this line when
he circled the Harvard defense and
threw rockingham of Harvard
nearly on iiarvard's goal line for

tainment, when it becomes neces-
sary for old Bob FitZsimmOns to
bend his creaking knees and timber
his complaining joints to box for
the amusement of the public.
Just think of ruby Robert, aged
AZ, the battered remnant of former
days, going on even with Bill Lang,
the Australian heavyweight.
Isn't it a shame? Imagine the
Shrek that would go up if old free
ring in this country! Why, some
active member of the S. p. G. G.
would have the promoter pinched
for cruelty to Bob in his second
childhood.
Bob Fitzsimmons was born in
Elston Cornwall, England, June 4,
1862, and did his first fighting when
he graduated from the blacksmith 9
forge in Australia. He whipped
every middleweight and heavy
weight that would face him in
Australia, and came to this country
in 1891. After knocking out the
Black Pearl in four rounds he beat
Jack Dempsey to a feather buster
for the middleweight title, in 10
rounds.
Fitzsimmons' meteolfc career has
no parallel in pugilistic history.
From an unknown he jumped to the
front rank at a bound and re-
manned there to the last. He took
them all on, big and little, beating
them without a rest until he be-.
came middleweight and heavy
weight champion of the world
Then he ran into Jim Jeffries and
lost his crown, but he quickly de-
feated Jim DAILY, Ed Dunkhorts,
Gus Rubin and Tom Sharkey, the
four lasting II rounds. Fitz took
another chance at Jeffries then,
and succumbed in eight rounds.
1t was after the second fight with
the big fellow that Fitz began slip
ping, and he continued to go back
until he was put away by Jack
O'Brien. Now, in his dotage, he
is returning to the ring, Fortunate
" for Bob, his opponent is ham
of the first water, and the chances
are, weakened as he is by age and
the life he has led, the oldtimer
will cop Lang's angora in few
brief rounds and enjoy another
spasm of popularity.

ALL-NORTHWEST SELECTIONS Of
LOCAL REFEREE FOR SPAULD|NG'S

For the first time in history,
eastern Washington. or the eastern
section of the northwest, is to re-
ceive foot ball recognition. When
Spaulding's foot ball guide is issued
for 1910, the All Northwest foot
ball selection of George Varnell,
the popular referee, will occupy a
page of the guide. The pictures OF
the players, with a short account OF
the season, will give the eastern
section of the northwest the much
deserved recognition for which il
has clamored in vain for years.
Mr., Arthur Of Salem, Ore, the
man who picks the all northwest
eleven each year (picking his men
from Oregon and Washington uni.
yersities almost exclusively)), will
have his selections in as usual, with
varnell's selections occupying an
other page of the great foot bal
handbook.
John Dewitt, the well known
foot bali enthusiast, was instru
mental In securing the recognition
for selections OF the local man, cor
responding with Walter Camp and
the publishers OF the guide In re
gard TO the matter. Mr.. Dewitt re
ceived a communication from Camp
