NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Jim Jeffries
is the last fighter left in the pugilis-
tic old guard and what will he do
next July viii he go the way Bob
Fitzsimmons, Gus Rubin, John l..
Sullivan Jeems Corbett and the others
went, or will he surprise the world
tie from the dusky brow of Rastus
Jack George Washington John
son?
Already bets are being made with
Jeffries as the favorite The first bet
on record so far as l could learn, was
made by Harry F'razee of Chicago who
wagered $4,000 to $4,000 that Jeffries
would win. Trace took the favorite
end quite readily and said he had
every reason to believe that Jeff would
be the victor.
But speaking of the old guard, JEFF
fries is really the last member. The
old fellows, not really old either but
worn out, are retired, some keeping
barrooms, some on the stage and 9TH
ers obscured entirely from the face
of the earth. Tom Sharkey runs a sa-
loon on Fourteenth street here; Kid
Mccoy is trying to get money enough
to start a boxing club and an American
saloon in Paris; John L. Sullivan is
in vaudeville; poor old Bob F'itzsim-
mons will be on the stage again in a
short time Jim Corbett is an actor.
Then there was Jack Mccormick and
Peter Jackson. All good ones in their
Gay, but jackson is dead and McCOr-
mick has not one ounce Of fight left in
his body.
One by one they left the ring. Rub

Far beyond any question of the out
come of the fight between Johnson
and Jeffries, in the minds of those who
study scientifically the body and it's
powers is the question of whether the
former champion can come back, and

ago. If he does he will be the eXcep-

First in a series of three games to
be played between this Y. M. G. A. and
Whitman college, the game at the "Y"
tonight will be one of the best of the
Both teams are playing great ball this
year, and both are confident of win
ming. Whitman is slightly handicapped
by having to play A. A. L. rules, while
she practices collegiate rules for her
big conference games. But this will
amount to little after the playing
warns up.
From dope and comparative scores,
which is altogether unreliable so early
in the season. the "Y'' should win. The
association five took Pendleton high
school into camp by lop-sided score,
far bigger than the one by which the
local high school beat the same team.
And the local high walloped Whitman.
Reasoning along this line, Whitman
stands to lose. However McDill, Pen
dletons center, played against high
school and did not enter the game
against the "Y'' until the second half
when he made things show slightly
different. There is no real dope by
which the game can be figured. save
that it stands to be one of the closest
and most exciting games that has
ever been pulled off in the city.
Morgan, at center, has it over Nc
Coy in experience and ability, although
the rangy missionary is no SLOUGH.
Thorn and Ring, at guard, will keep
Felthouse and Belt busy. Ring is a

(By f. O'Callaghan.)

Rugby needs no apologist; all that is
necessary is that it be understood, and
once introduced will take care of itself
II is a players and spectators game
first, last and always, and herein lies
the opposition which it receives from
professional coaches.
There is no one so absolutely in
competent to give judgment on any
thing as a person with only one idea,
and therefore the adverse criticism of
those men who are looked upon as au-
thorities in the Intercollegiate game
and who are ignorant entirely of even
the first principles of Rugby are both
Illogical and absurd.
ON the other hand, if one turn to the
verdict of such professional men who
have been broad enough to go into the
study of the latter code, as for in

Endorsement of Rugby.
Like Game in California.
Then again, little items will appear
from time to time in the papers as
Serting that the game is not popular in
California and that the schools would
like to go back to the old game. Each
wear since the introduction of Rugby
in California has seen a remarkable
increase of interest in this game over
the intercollegiate in players and spec
tators. The crowds at the annual con
test between University of California
and Stanford have doubled since the
adoption of Rugby and if one must
look upon the commercial side of the
question, the gate receipts have been
away ahead of former years.
There are more individual clubs
throughout the state and more actual
players than ever existed in the inter
collegiate years
Duties of the Halfback.
In the previous articles forwards and
forward plays were outlined together
with short description of the scrim
mage From this was probably gath
cred the fact that the forwards are
the first line of attack, whose duty lies
mainly in carrying the battle into the
opposing territory, and when acting as

expected to gain possession of the bal

This brings into being the halfbacks
who form the first line of defense anC
also start the first movement TOWARD
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1910-01-14
American Paid Coaches are Worst
Enemies of Rugby, Says O'Callagan

1t is the duty of the halfback to di-
rect the play of the pack and be ready
at all times to follow up the advantage
made by the forwards. Thus he will be
at the spot the moment a serum is
formed. and by his instructions the for
wards will release the ball to him or
keep it close in the pack, or, if he
thinks best, wheel the serum to the
right or to the left
The forwards, being tightly bound
together in a serum, with backs bent
and eyes only on the ground or on the
ball, can grasp very little idea as to
direction and style of play required.
Consequently the halfback must be
the eyes of the pack.
Must Keep in Motion.
1t is an unwritten law that no one
ever receives the ball while standing
still. Imagine, therefore, player run
ming down the field with the ball in
his hands and his mate coming along
at the same pace about three yards
behind him and out to the side. A
player from the opposite team flies out
for a tackle but just as he is about
even with the man carrying the ball
the latter shoots it across and in adj
vance of his mate (Who takes it on the
.I,.ny 1on flo.
transfer if the other man is tackled.
Having a rule against interference, a
player must be freed the moment he
gets rid of the ball, and may not be
prevented following up the play in
which he has been taking part.
Passes Are Exciting.
These sharp, quick passes from man
to man never fail to stir the blood of
the spectators, and as man after man
is tackled, thrown to the grass, the
ball still travelling on it's forward mis-
sion and perhaps finally making it's
resting place over the goal line. it
would require a daring critic to offer
the suggestion that Rugby is not sci
entific.
When the ball is kicked into touch
(touch being that part of the ground
outside the side lineS) it is the duty of
the halfback to bring it into play as
described in the article on forward
play. 1t is not unlawful, of course.

it into play again, but if the halfback

addition to the manner described in
the cline out from touch he may put
the ball into the field by bounding it

a score.
The halfback playing the serum
gets the ball if it comes out this way
While the other half plays we'll up to
the front line in case the other side
should obtain possession.
He must be careful to be on his own
side of the ball, otherwise free kick
will be given against him. If the ball
goes out of his side of the serum he
drops back into place at the side of
his partner or goes forward for an
on-side kick if play is in his own ter
ritory.
May Have to Follow Ball.
If the other side takes possession
he follows the ball around the side of
the serum and is entitled to play it
Immediately it is free, providing he is
on side. He may play it with his feet,
fall on it, or tackle the opposing half
if he has picked it up with the purpose
of getting it away to his three-quar-
tiers.
His chief duty is the blocking of
the opposing half back and thus break
other side at it's very beginning. This
halfback division is the hinge be-
tween the forwards and backs, and
upon their ability or inability to
swing the play into proper channels
depends very often the result of the
game.
A halfback must be resourceful and
ready at all times to change his plars
on the spur of the moment. Rugby
is q spectacular game mainly because
, there are more fresh developments
to it in one minute than can be found
in intercollegiate in ten.
1t is the constant variation from
! what is expected which makes it so
spectator and player. The best laid
| plans are generally the plans most
likely to be destroyed and the player
must be ready instantly to form new
ones and put them into operation.
Chance Big Element.
1t is claimed by the opponents to
Rugby that this fact should count
against the game, inasmuch as it es-
tablishes an element of chance, and
unscientific 1t is this very element
of chance which makes any sport in
teresting and without it all games
would soon cease to have attraction
for the masses as well as for contest
ants
