WALTER CAMP HAS
MAC0MBER FIRED
FROM ALL-STARS

Bart Macomber Of Illinois was re-
Gently given place on Walter Camps
All-American first team The Illinois
half-back has been congratulated and
feted because of the honor. He has
been in possession of the distinction
for two weeks
Now read this portion of letter
from Walter Camp, which appears in
the January issue of Golfers Week
ly:
Editor Golfers.
"Sir: | wish, indeed, we might go
back to the old times when had a
few days after the final game of the
season to check up the very voIumin-
Gus records of all the men. This year
in the rush there was not time to com
pare carefully, game for game, the
full records of Oliphant and Macom-
Der, the former having come so fast
in his final game that he is entitled
to first place"
Imagine, please, person coming up
to you and handing out a Christmas
present Then think of the same per-
son coming back two weeks after
Christmas and taking the present
back This is what Camp has done
to Macomber. Camp has become in
this instance an Indian giyer.
Camp continues in his brief letter
as follows:
The same rush and hurry led to
the incorporation OF a section of last
seasons Nebraska records and led to
an error which hope you have been
able correct before. Harm was done
in placing HaIligan instead of Wey.
and of West Point, who should have
had the position on the third team. ]
should be glad to have you print this
letter in the interests Of both men.
yours very truly,
WALTER CAMP"
Our old friend Walter Camp has
Slipped once more, and at the time
that he was announcing his retire
ment This time Bart Macomber was
picked over Oliphant and Camp stated
that he made big mistake Ii Camp
had not watched the play of the last
game with OIiphant a star, he could
have at least read the account IN the
newspapers, and also the notice OF
Weyand, who Coach Daily claimed to
be one of the leading tackles of the
year.
Camp chose Halligan en- the team
who, although a star, ranks far below
the. standard of Chamberlain. Had
Camp looked over the coast newspa-
pers carefully he might have decided
that Beckett of Oregon earned place
on the all-star aggregation. This is
only another illustration of the state
ment made some time ago that the
picking position was
growing too big for Camp.

ATHLETE AT POST

Last evening gentleman came into

garding ] ]. Quinn, both at the New
Years bouts and at the kapiolani
park meet The writer is always
pleased to talk with any lover OF
sport on any question and will always
be ready to answer any statement
made.
The first point that came up during
the conversation was that the friend
of Quinn stated that the Sar-Bul1etin
had declared the bout on New Year 5
Day a fake This was quickly els
proved by showing the gentli maa The
article which stated that bouts be-
tween members 81 the same company
are not always :. success. because
Quinn outclasses Janokowski does not
make it a fake. The article states that
Quinn won easily, which he did. Chap
lain Fealy is working for the good of
the game and he hasn't a reputation
for staging fakes.
Quinn outcIassed Opponent.
A man might be outclassed by an
other, and credit must be given jan
okowsii for stepping into the ring at
the last moment and putting up the
fight that he did. Quinn clearly show
ed that he was the winner and 1t is
TO be hoped that the next bout that
is staged will show some one capable
Of giving Quinn real battle
Regarding the Kapiolani meet the
friend OF Quinn said that the article
stated that the time made In the mile
was below the standard OF a high
school meet u was. The mile was
run in $50. which is slow time for
high school meet. When q high
school boy steps off a mile in 4:30
il Is considered fast, but majority
of the high school runs are covered
under minutes Three years ago a
Portland high school had three milers
on their team who could do ABB. The
writer has witnessed many meets
throughout the country and in all the
time has always been better than 5
minutes for the mile run.
A Strong Runner.
Quinn has plenty of strength and
should do better than minutes with
a good track on a good day. If he
can do 4:30 he will surely be a well
come addition to Hawaii, but from the
showing made at the meet last Sun
day anyone who knows anything about
track work could say that it was not
well handled or success in any way.
The writer is always pleased to meet
anyone who has questions to ask on
any sport subject, and is glad to have
this opportunity to answer Mr. Quinn's
friend and others who are interested
in the work of the Schofield athlete.
In addition ii might be we'll to say
that Quinn has heaps of ability stored
up, and the fact that he is both clever
in the ring and on the cinder path
shows the versatility of the Schofeld
man. There are very few profession
al milers in Hawaii, and there does
not appear to be anyone who can take
his measure The A. A. U. would not
sanction a meeting between Quinn
and an amateur, so it is doubtful
whether mile race meeting could be
arranged here.

NEW YORK, JAN S.--Frank Moran.
the Pittsburg heavyweight, erased all
doubts of his ability TO meet Jess VIII
lard last evening when he Knocked
out Jim Coffey, the Dublin Giant,
in the ninth round of a 10-round con-
test. Followers of Coffey, of whom
there were many, we're surprised at
the showing made by Moran, and at
the conclusion of the bout stated that
the boxer from the Smoky City was
the one logical opponent to meet Big
Jess.
Moran excelled in his footwork. and
time and again the Dublin man tried
to land a hay.maker. but Moran was
away in q flash Ii was an exciting
bout from start TO finish as Coffey
was playing rush game throughout
the early rounds. In the third round
Coffee made two vicious swings, but
Moran deftly blocked them and after
that kept away from the wild swings
of the Dublin artist.
Hands Haymaker.
Coffey showed distress at the be.
gong sounded Moran tried to mix it.
and after clinching and feinting, he
finally landed hard blow in Coffey's
mid-section, and followed this with a
swing to the jaw, which sent the Dub
lin man down for the count.
Moran's victory last night practical
ly means a bout with Willard, as Tom
my Burns, who has taken the reins
since Tortorich resigned from the Full
ton bout, has been anxious to stage
battle between Moran and Willard.
For a time It was believed by many
of the fight fans that Moran was not
up to the standard of a challenger,
hut since his recent defeats of Cof-
fey the fans are in favor of match.
Moran Wins Three.
Moran has a good record during his
career in the ring, although he has
fought but few bouts. In Paris he
held Johnson safe for 20 rounds and
last year defeated Bombardier Wells
and George Sims in London via knock
out route, and sent Jim Coffey to
Sunderland in three rounds on Octo-
Der 10 in New York. Moran usually
weighs in the neighborhood of 200
pounds in fighting condition.
Coffey fought more bouts during
1915, and has good record for the
year. He has won by knockouts over
Jack Twin" Sullivan, Arthur Pelkey,
Al Reich, Jim Flynn, Jack Reed and
Gunboat Smith. He outpointed Carl
Morris in ten rounds in New York.
