WEST DEFEATS
EAST 1876 AS
27,OOO WATCH

" SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26 tF1-In a
great struggle between outstanding COL
1ege football stars of the country, west
trcunced east, 1876, today to win the
annual charity game before throng
of more than $1,000 persons.
It was a stunning upset as the east
ern squad, boasting some of the finest
players developed on the sunrise side
of the Rockies in years, was heavy
favorite to come through for victory.
Outplaying their opponents in the
first two periods, the westerners seized
three opportunities to score pair OF
touchdowns and safety East came
back to take the play away from its
rival in the third period and pushed
over a touchdown. A savage thrust
in the closing quarter was halted when
the western teams defense stiffened,
Three minutes after the start Of the
game, west crossed the opposing goal
line for a touchdown. Presnel, Neb-
raska, who started at right half for
the east, fumbled and the west recov-
cred on the 22-yard line. On the first
play, Hunt, Texas -Aggies, right half,
spun around left end, and shaking OIL
half dozen tacklers, sunk his cleats
in scoring turf.
The west counted two more points
when Amos. quarterback, Washington
and jefferson, missed a bad pass from
center and was thrown behind the
eastern goal line Just before the half
ended, Mann, Southern Methodist, sub
stituting for Hunt, broke away to run
is yards to touchdown. Wilson, full
back, kicked both goals.
Caldwell, Yale, left halfback, scored
/ the touchdown for the east after hard
line plungeS by the entire backfield
had carried the ball deep into western
territory. He ran IL yards to score,
but failed on the try for point, when
Wilson broke through to block the
kick.
Amongst the heavy list of stars, two
ball luggers from Texas stood out
They were Joel Hunt of this years
Texas Aggies, and Gerald Mann, South
ern Methodist, who substituted Tor
Hunt in the western lineup. Both
turned in brilliant games at right half,
packing. the ball for long runs while
Hunts punting was a determining
factor. Caldwell, a Yale halfback,
Joesting, Minnesota, fullback, and Con-
nor, who replaced Presnell, stood out
for the east.
The east carried on an aerial attack
throughout the game but completed
onlv four passes out of 10 attempted.
In six tries, the west completed Two
passes. 1858

On balls. However, I doubt if any Of
the seven had an experience similar to
that of Peckinpaugh's.
Going to the plate five times in the
game, Peckinpaugh didn't offer at q
single ball. He could have left his bat
at the bench as far as swinging at the
ball was. concerned.
The freak part of the happening was
that in each instance the count was
three balls and two strikes before he
was finally franked to first In each
time at ba5 Peckinpaugh played out
the string, but in working the pitcher
to the limit he refrained from striking
at single ball.
While there is no way of check
ing up on the six other similar
happenings, / doubt if any of them
had the same background as
Peck's, three balls and two strikes
in each instance, without the bats
man taking his bat off his shoulder.
THRILL IN THIS ONE
For real drama, however, Keating' S
debut as a pitcher had Peck's rather
drab base on balls performance backed
off the boards.
When a pinch hitter was pressed
into service for the New York pitcher
in the first half of the eighth in a
game at st. Louis some years ago
Keating was selected as the pitcher to
finish the game.
His deceptive spitball that was hard
I to control plus the nervousness that
went with his big league debut, had
Kcating working under a severe strain
Keating gave three bases on balls in
the first inning he ever worked in the
majors and in between he struck out
three other men to face him. The
count on each of the six batters tc
face him was three balls and two
strikes.
Keating walked the first, third and
fifth batter. He struck out the second
and fourth, so there was real "meller-
drammer'' on tap when the sixth bat
ter of the inning stepped to the plate
with the bases filled.

FIVE WALKS IN GAME

Roger Peckinpaugh, newly appointed
manager of the Cleveland Indians,
played the leading role in perhaps the
most unusual day at bat ever enjoyed
by a major league ball player No
doubt it would be more correct if I
referred to it as a non-batting feat.
Ray Keating, some years ago a de-
ceptive spitball pitcher, then with the
New York Yankees, played the hero
stuff in the weirdest exhibition of
pitching, featuring both good and bad
that I have ever called balls and strikes
over.
Peckinpaugh's performance featured
five bases on balls in as many appear
ances at the plate do not recall the
pitchers who worked the game, there
were several, but / do recall Phila-
delphia as the opposing team.
Keating's debut as big league
pitcher was a most unusual one. He

On Your Birthday
BY BRUCE BARTON.

Our interesting but rather
shallow friend Samuel Pepys
used to spend part Of each birth
day and New Year day in
checking over his accounts and
eongratuIating himself on the
increases in his worldly wealth.
Samuel Johnson, a very much
greater man, came up to each
successive birthday with sense
Of great dissatisfaction. He
wrote in his journal:
"a have now spent fifty-five
years in resolving, having, from
the earliest time almost that !
remember, been forming schemes
Of a better life. have done
nothing. The need Of doing,
therefore, is pressing, since the
time Of doing is short"
As a matter Of fact, Johnson
had done a great deal. He had
completed the great seIfimposed
task Of compiling his dictionary
and made himself one Of the
most celebrated men Of his time.
But his ideal was so far beyond
his achievements as to be con-
slant reproach.
Half way between the easy.
going, self satisfaction OF Samuel
Pepys and the harsh self-con-
domination of Samuel johnson
there is a happier middle ground.
Every man ought surely to
have the privilege Of some self
satisfaction on his birthday over
what he has done. But to feel
complete self satisfaction is
pretty good evidence that what
he set out to do wasn't very
much.

not be so easy. and the corn belt
