teammate for Maulbetsch at the other
half position. He played at left half last
year alongside Of Jimmy Craig and in all
probability will hold down his position
this season. Hughitt seems to be the
choice at quarter and will encounter no
difficulty In maintaining his position.

sidered the best quarterback -Yost has

handle the line. Douglas will again
manage the ell freshmen candidates,
while Jimmy Craig of last years team
win assist Yost with the backfield.
Craig win likely have command of the

Yost thinks that he has an even break
with the fasteners IL his men develop
as he plans. Yost believes that with a
good solid wall in front he can win this
game with a sensational runner in the
tackfield and a good forward pass and
punt artist. He has these men in Maui

winning the Harvard game, IL at all. by

who Is at present basking IN the balmy
CLINE Of California and internationally
gathering In wads OF western money
forced his way to recognition again by
his decisive defeat Of Jose Rivers, the
pseudo Mexican. in their fourth meeting
a short while ago.
Cross stock IN the boxing market has
fiuctuated more than that of any other
fighter one year Cross leads his con-
stituents to believe that he is all through
as a rlngman; that he has reached the
tether Of his ring usefulness. The next
year he comes through with a brand OF
fighting that sends his followers into
ecstacies and has them proclaiming him

Then a long-distance match with Hy-
land was preached, and Cross. his eyes
blinded by the promise OF big money, was
lbred TO the coast. He got as much as
500 for Juggling through forty-one rounds
under a broiling sun. He swore on high
that he would never again fight on the
Pacific. But time land money! changes
the deepest set ideas OF any man. as will
be seen forthwith
Cross struggled home east with the
avowed intention Of never DOMINIC the
gloves again. But the call of the game
was too strong for him and two months
later he was at IT again. abandoning his
profession OF molRr extracting for the
more remunerative calling OF boxing

Then came the East siders second set

Then Leachie became vagrant to his
VOW. He shook the dust of New York and
once again tempted fate. as II is tempted
on the coast. He hlSed to Vernon and
convinced tho Californians that he was a
fighter after all. BUD Anderson, a sem
sational newcomer. was selected as his
opponent. and Leachie put the duietus on
him In twelve rounds. He then outpointed
Matty Baldwin In twenty and whipped
Frank Barrieau up in Vancouver.
