Klaus and Chip Square Off
In Pittsburg This Evening

FlITSBuRG, Dec 23.-Frank Klaus,
the Pittsburg middle weight, who was
recognized as the middle weight
champion of the world before George
Chip knocked him out in half a dozen
rounds, will have his chance here to
regain his lost laurels tonight. He
and Chip will cross gloves in a six
round bout. and a merry battle is
expected.
Klaus is a 10 to favorite The
boxing enthusiasts have never re-
garded his defeat in a serious manner
and many sitting at the ringside de-
clared that Chip landed the winning
punch as Klaus backed away laugh
ing and with his hands down.
Klaus is regarded as one of the
best men of his class. He has fought
and defeated the champions OF France
and Great Britain. including Georges
Carpenter, the conqueror of Bonn

litter experiences of the past
Ktell us that it is foolish in
deed to judge a fighter on his
gymnasium performances. Take
the case of Bill Squires for in
stance. What a darby he was.
when he stripped off to the waist
and started after his training
partners They used to look upon
him with awe and sigh for poor
Tommy Burns
ND Bill worked so hard and so
"a faithfully that he went into
the ring 10 to shot over
Burns for that memorable heavy
weight championship battle which
by the way christened the DAILY
City arena on the afternoon of
July 4. 1907. And In less than
two minutes. Squires had taken
the count and his hackers were
powerless TO explain why.
IT is harder to get a line on
heavyweights than any other
class of fighters. AS a general
rule, they are slow, clumsy and
unwieldly. Few of them can box
and those who are able TO handle
their hands with skill are usually
unable to stand a wallop- A
glance at the record book will
show that this has held good for
many years past.
VIM JEFFRIES in his palmy days
i could not box. He was fast on
his feet for big fellow, but he
was not an acurate hitter, neither
was could he block with any too
much skill He relied upon his
wonderful strength and his abil-
ity TO assimilate punishment. 1t
took Jeffries years to learn how
to deliver a blow that carried the
right sort OF stuff behind it
X X
nOB FITZSIMMONS was per-
Hhaps the best example of the
modern heavy weight endowed
with cleverness, hitting ability
and ganeness and Jeffries never
would have been the heavy weight
champion of the world II nature
had provided Fitz with about 25
additional pounds or the fates
had declared that the men meet
on equal terms as to age.
n " X
TUT the days of such men as
HFitzsimmons and Jeffries have
passed. We probably will
never see heavy weights OF this
class again, although all those
who take a keen interest in af-
fairs pugilistic have about come
to the conclusion that Smith and
Pelkey are about the best OF the
members of the 1914 white hope
brigade.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-It is rumored
that Dad Moulton. the veteran track
and field coach, who is now at the Le-
land Stanford university in California.
will come east to accept similar po-
sition at the College of the City of
New York. 1t was recently announced
that Moulton had quit Stanford. 1t Is
said that Dad is anxious to leave the
coast
Dr. Thomas A. Storey. head of the
department of physical training at the
City couuege, who came here from Le-
land Stanford, thinks highly of Moul-
tons ability as coach, and 1t Is said
that the doctor is anxious to get Moul-
ton TO take charge of the College OF
the City of New York teams At
present there is hardly any room for
man like Moulton at the local insti-
tuition because of the lack of a field.
but that Will be remedied In short
time
With the new City college stadium
completed, q new coach will be i'm
perative. and Moulton is just the man
for the place.
Moulton Is the dean OF athletic
coaches in this country. He has an
offer from the Northwestern univer-
sity of Evanston. ILL.,, but will no
doubt give the preference to the New
York offer, which is definitely made
to him.

To the Rugby fan the American
code game as played today is too
slow. There is not the fast, snappy
passing. carrying of the ball and open
field work that has caught the fancy
OF the people of the coast The old
game has it's merits and is a good
game, but 1t is lacking in the dash
and speed that characterizes Rugby
and IL Camps ideas now formed on
the passing game can be put into
American game will be improved won
derfully.
FORWARD PASS HELPS
The game win this innovation would
be opened up to a wonderful extent.
and 1t would be a rather exciting piece
of play to see the ball passed between
say three or four players and ad-
vanced for many yards in this man
ner. The forward pass as used today
is executed by two players. and some
times by three at the most, but there
the movement stops, while in the
Rugby code once a passing rush gets
started the ball seldom stops before
1t has gone through at least five or
six pairs of hands, and many times
eight and ten players participate in
the throwing round of the bail.
1t is this extra amount of running
that Camp thinks might be the means
of exhausting the teams. 1t does not
have that effect or the Rugby playing
teams of the coast universities. and
the coast men get through their games
and finish up in wonderful condition.
far from being exhausted.
There is. of course, about FIVE times
the amount of running in the Rugby
game than In the American code. but
It is this fast changing of play, the
constant movin gof the ball in the
open, that has made Rugby so popu-
lar on this coast.
Camps writing on the subject has
been a big advertisement for the
Rugby game. and II would not be at
al. surprising to have eastesrn coaches
making all sorts of inquiries about
the game before the netx meeting of
the rules committee in the east.

ATHLETIC q %

II the Pacific association were to
make rule that coaches, managers
or other followers of basket ball teams
were to keep of the floor during a
contest 1t would be appreciated by the
spectators. 1t is nothing more than a
farce to see a manager or some one
else run on the court to question and
dispute a referees decision. The
thing Is not necessary. and it cer-
tainly shows lack of dignity and
makes the party so doing this the
laughing stock of the spectators. No
one should be allowed to interfere
with any of the team or any official
once a game is started.

Coach Charlie Stephenson of the
University of California oarsmen is

footballers of Los Angeles are having
an argument as to which Is the best
code. To settle their little argumen,
two teams have been selected to play
the American game on Christmas day.
One team Will be composed Of the
best American code players and the
opposition will be selected from the
Rugby playing ranks. It would be
eminently more fair IL two games
were played. After the present game
is over with 1t should be UP to the
American code players to get together
and play the Rugby style. 1t would
then be giving every one an even
break.

There was something of a similar
state of affairs in the national cross
country race in New York last week
that we had here in the Pacific asso-
citation cross country Thanksgiving
day. In the local race the Pastime
and the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation teams tied for first honors.
and the race was awarded to the
Pastimes owing to the fact that the
club man nearest the winner was an
other Pastime club man. The method
gave the Pastimes the meet. as It was
legally entitled to. but the ruling
from the big chief. James r.. Sullivan,
is slightly different to the method
adopted here. In the cross country in
New York the Irish American and the
New York Athletic clubs tied for first
place. and the team prize was award
ed to the Irishmen owing to the fact
their man came in first. Rather a CO.
incidence that the same thing should
happen Mt extreme ends OF the conti-
nent and in championship race.
