DOWN
 0AKI LANDS IN
 EASY FASHION
(By Wagn@.l

The 0aklands came from the East End to Yost field yesterday afternoon but didn't do much after they arrived. There had been some speculation re- garding what would happen when the Oaklands met the Yosts on the grid iron and now the East End rooters know the worst The Yosts spent a busy afternoon pi1ing up Al points and the Oak1ands drew a zero.
 The Oak1ands must be given credit for taking their beating gameIy. how ever. They were outclassed by a team that outweighed them but they fought just as hard at the finish as at the start. The Yosts tried forward passes and unIoaded some new plays that befudd1ed the Oaklands. The Harvard play in which See1ey went back to the kickers position as a feint for another back to hit the line. was used to good advantage.
 Howie Baker injured a rib in the first half and Flick Casey went in. Seeley thereupon played quarterback and Casey replaced Seeley at half back. See1ey was a success as direc- tor of plays He displayed great headwork and was also expert in throwing forward passes. Several of Vlese covered more than 20 yards. . Frank O'Rourke showed lots of speed at halfback and HalIopin smashed the line until he was hurt in the third period. In addition to his excellence in tossing passes, See1ey made a number of long runs, one of which resulted in a touchdown Bunk Abbott astonished the crowd by reel ing off two or three long runs No body suspected the old boy of being sprinter but he covered ground in amazing fashion. ,9s
 About the only man on the Oakland team whose work stood out was Kuba FTYI- sideIines about the merits of this player. He was good at hurling for ward passes and in line smashing seemed to be hard to stop. He would probably have appeared to better ad- vantage if he had a stronger line to protect him. No man can gain when the opposing linemen are allowed to break through and smear him before he gets started.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1S97-Joe Choynski and Jim Jeff fries fought 2O-round draw in San Francisco. This was a battle that will long be remembered by Ca1ifor- 1nian fans. The giant boi1ermaker then had only four bouts under his belt, and was a clumsy novice at the game, while Choynsh was a clever veteran who had been banging away at the best of them for more than ten years. sJeff wei ghed s229 pounds, Joe more than 50 less. For 10 rounds Choynskf hammered the giant almost at will, and finfthe 10th landed a blow square on the jaw thatsshould have sent Jeff to dreamland. But it didn't. Having given eff the best he had in stock, without effect, Choynski grew tired and discouraged, and Jim assumed the aggressive and fought so earnestly as to win a draw. The Los Angeles mans showing was a. great surprise to theNSan Francisco sports, who had expected Joe to cut the big fellow into strips. Within IS months Jeff was champion.

 For the positions of lends Hardwick of Harvard is a unanimous choice, with OeHearn. Cornell; Brann, Yale, and Merrillat of the Army all close seconds. Ballin of Princeton and TrumbuI1 of Harvard are easily the choice for tackles, although Ta1bott of Yale and Abe1I of Colgate are also prominently mentioned.
 At the position Of guards Spears of Dartmouth and Pennock of Harvard are virtually alone in the field. The place at centre finds considerable diff ference of poinion. for Journeay of Pennsylvania and McEwan of the Army are both put forward strongly, with Cruickshank of Washington and Jefferson another favorite.
 Back of the line Barrett of Cornell Is first choice for quarterback, al- though Pritchard of the Army. sGhee, Dartmouth; Wilson, Tale. and Logan, Harvard, have their supporters. For haIfbacks, Mahan of Harvard is se- Iected by almost all the coaches.

"At no time has oppression increas-
