PANCHO VILLA PUMMELS
WALLACE FOR VICTORY

PHILADELPHIA, oct 81
PanCho Villa, American flyweight
champion, in his first Philadelphia
appearance, won from Patsy Wal
lace, of this city, in eight rounds at
the Olympia last night before a
capacity crowd.
"Chain Lightning" was the way
boxing fans sized up Villa as they
filed out Of the club. His sharp
shooting rights and lefts were too
much for Wallace, who put up a
stubborn defense and gritty battle
all the way.
There were no knoCkdOwns and
five of the eight rounds belonged
to the Filipino lad. Villa hit a
harder blow and aimed trucr than
Wallace. Philadelphians were unan.
imous in agreeing that Villa is a
real champion.

DOble has before him reports of
his scouts who have been watching
Columbia all fall. as well as the
detailed observations of a member
of his coaching staff who saw the
Columbia Williams game Saturday.
He ,has given special attention to
the fast and powerful baCkfield of
the New Workers. and two days of
this week will be devoted to per-
tecting defense to stop RoderiCk,
kopp!sch and Gehrig.
The Ithaca forward line is COM
ing along rapidly, and Cornell has
confidence that Hanson and Sund-
strom, the tackles. and ROllo and
Flynn, the guards. will give a good
account of themselves against
Columbia. The ends are not as
strong as the rush line, but much
good work is being accomplished
in improving the end defense. Cor.
nell looks for far better game
from the wings next Saturday than
at any time this year.
To support the forwards DObie

play. On the Offense much has
been accomplished in the past week
in perfecting interference and in
getting away the plays more
quickly.
1t is predicted here that Eddie
kaw will be in shape to cut loose
this week. because the Cornell cap
tain is nearing the top of his form.
Comedians are counting heavily,
too. on George Pfann, quarterback
and on Ramsey, who is one OF the
surest ground gamers in line play
that Cornell has had in years.
The Ithacans made lot of prog.
ress last Saturday when their rivals
were playing games. For the first
time since the university opened
DObie had every varsity man on the
field early. With plenty of daylight
for long practice, he took full ad.

The Columbia game promises to
top all previous attendance records,
according to the management. The
whole west side OF the field has
been flanked with temporary stands
and arrangements are being made
to accommodate a large number Of
general admissions in rOped off
areas at each eEds-of the field.

a veteran is beaten by Z man who
may not he the best man in his
division. but who happens to be
lucky enough to get the match
which nature picks as the finish of
the veteran.
We are not belittling Walker.
He is good young welterweight,
one of the best Of those in one OF
the most thickly populated divi-
sions in pugilism at this time.
But if he'can beat BrittOn, we are
inclined to think that two or three
others couS! do the same thing.
II Has Tough BOyS
THE welterweight division is
the division in which to &C
quire tin ears and little
glory. nowadays. 1t numbers
some Of the toughest boys in the
game, and Lew Tender is just
crowding in among them to make
the going all the harder.
If fighter could come along
in this division now and 60
through the inmates that peep
from every managers barn he
would be a great fighter indeed.
Besides Britton and Walker, we
have 3ermondsey Billy Wells, the
Englishman, one of the best
boxers in the world. Wells is so
good that all the others dodge
him. For all his admitted class
he has had but one opportunity
to show himself in Madison
Square Garden.
The veteran Soldier Bartfield,
with decisions over half the well
terweights and middleweights in
the country, is still around and
as active as ever. Then there
is Dave Shade, George Ward,
Paul Doyle, Eddie Shevlin and
dozen others, shifty and as
tough as nails.
1t is something to be king of
the welter division. The fly
weights, bantams, feathers, the
lightweight crowd, the middies,
the light-heavies, and the heavies
all have easy picking compared to
the boys who have cast their lot
among the division presided over
in others years by Joe Walcott
and Honey" Melody.
"Join the welters and get bum

hung up over the 145-pounders.

Descamps in the preliminary nego-

the downfall of Carpenter to Des-
camps. His explanation of Descamps
failure to exercise proper managerial
authority over his protege is one Of
the most interesting instances of
psychological analysis l ever listened
to. He said:
"Descamps was no longer Carpen.

forgivable mistake of allowing his
affection to unseat his Judgment. He
no longer issued orders. He became
the indulgent parent. In this one
fact lies the true reason, for the
finish of Carpenter as d boxer. The
wisest fighter in the world must
yield obedience to some one superior.
Self-discipline is the sine qua non OF

his managers orders is a prime
requisite. The relations between Car.
