WILTON STAR OF
 STANFORD VICTORY
Western Team Noses Out East. trntE Before 10000 Spectators

PaSadena, Calf. Jan. ! (CP)- As tho purple shadows spread across the picturesque rose bowl little Frank Wilton caught a juggled for ward pass-one which had first caused tho Stanford roofing section to issue a roar. then quiet. then roar again-and dashed across the goal line with the touchdown that paved the way for a Cardinal victory over Pittsburgh 7-6. in the annual east west football game.
 It was vtndication for Frank Will ton. Previously he had fumbled near his own goal line. and the fum- ble was scooped up and converted into a Pitt touchdown by Hagen.
 Before 10000 people who had turned out to witness the game. which ciimaxed the Tournament of Roses yesterday. Stanford represent ing the west and Pitt representing the east staged brilliant duel. It was swelteringly warm on the play ing field. The Pitt players especial ly were bothered. But they fought gallantly and viciously to stave off defeat.
 Thrice Stanford propelled by the ponderous Hoffman, Cardinal full back, cracked the Pitt line and sent the wall to within three or four or five yards of the goal line. Thrice Pitt held.
 It was in the third period that Pitt finally moved the ball toward the Stanford goal line but lost it without counting. Wilton fumbled a pass from center and Hagen. the Pitt halfback, dashed in. scooped up the ball and ran 13 yards for q touchdown. Booth attempted to kick the goal but Heinicke blocked the kick.
 Stanford took on new enthusiasm. A diversified attack followed. Guard around plays--part of the Pop War ner strategy-ripped big holes in the Pitt line. A long pass helped. Then Hoffman tossed pass 10 Sims who jusgled the ball. Before it could reach the ground Wilton seized the ball. and raced three yards over the goal line. Hoffman kicked goal.
 From then on the game was even and in the closing minutes Pitt filled the air with passes, hoping for the break that might bring victory. But 1t was an unsuccessful attempt.
 For Pitt it was Gibbey Wolch who starred. For Stanford. Hoffman. The big Cardinal fullback ripped the Pitt line with ease. Stanford made l4 first downs against Pitts 10. Stanford gained c41 yards from scrimmage against Pitts l4:. Stan ford completed four passed out of IF for 65 yards while Pitt completed three out Of 14 for c6 yards. The bunting was about even-each aver aging more than 50 yards. Yesterdays victory was one of teacher over student for Pop War ner, the Stanford coach, taught Jock Sutherland. the Pitt coach. the rudi- ments of football when Sutherland played under Warner.

A rivalry winch is surpassed only by that between F. & F. Corbin and the Corbin Screw teams, will be re- newed tonight in the Industrial Basketball league at the Stanley A~,na when the F. & F. Corbin and Corbin Cabinet quintets will have it out for the privilege of holding the to-, honors in the family series.

 The first place Stanley Rule team in the girls league will play the last place New Britain Machine five. So close is the race in the girls league that if the Newmatics win they will be in fourth place. Landers will be in first place and P. X F. Corbin and Stanley Rule will be tied for second ] place.
 Old Rivals Already employees of the two Cor bin factories which are jointed to- gcther by bridge over Orchard street are telling each other what l will happen to the other in the meet ing tonight. Both factories are in the same locality The fact that they are in the large Corbin family does net alter their desire to do the other ill.
 Three years ago when P. & F. {, Corbin's team was reaching the [ height of it's power, 1t fought neck and neck with the Cabinet team down the line until at the end. the two teams were dead-locked for the leadership. A play-off was necessary and after one of the hottest games on record the Cabinet quintet de-
 feated r. & F. Corbin and won the league championship.
 The champs dropped out of the | league after that hectic season and to the fans the team died natural
 d >ath as far as athletics were con-
 cerned. But with the beginning of ! this season "Chief" Larson and his tribe were again on the field. The
 Chief" had been in retirement, but
 the quiet life was getting on his
 nerves and finally he decided to try his luck at his life's greatest hobby. basketball. Every employe with any
 basketball ability caught the spirit and the result was that the team is in the thick of the battle again this year.
 This will be r. & r. Corbin's chance to avcnge the most untimely
 defeat in it's history. It is the first
 time the teams have met since the memorable game of few yeara ago
 and 1t will be one to be remembered for years to come, F. & r. Corbin

Game Tonight Waterbury at Wallingford. Result Last Night


 Playing q championship brand Of roller hockey. the New Britain Quin- tet has ascended to the lead In the American league following three consecutive wins over the weekend. The second half of the league season started yesterday and New Britain scored two wins to climb into the drivers seat. The team ended the first half of the season in a blaze of glory, defeating Waterbury in the Brass City. Yesterday afternoon. the locals took the crippled Holyoke five into camp by the score of , to and last night. the quintet again rose to dizzy heights and defeated the cham- pionship Waterbury club, to 0. Afternoon Game
 The play of the New Britain team was nothing short of spectacular in the afternoon. Fitted against Hol- yoke which was without the services ; of St. Aubin. star rush. who was in- jured last Saturday in Wallingford, the Paper City team lacked its usual punch and with Boucher. New Britain ace, confronting the veteran Fred Jean on every occasion, New Britain made short work of the heavier Holyoke team.
 The play of the local quintet was wonderful and predictions are many that the team will end up better than third place for the second half , of the league. Alexander and Bouch- CT In yesterday afternoons game. played like fiends from the first rush to the last. In the third period, Boucher gave way to Eddie McAl- don because of the game in the eve ming and the local player set a dizzy pace that the Holyoke players were unable to follow. McAloon's work as substitute has been of high or der all year and his efforts against Arriuda. giant halfback of the Hol- yoke team yesterday. gave New Brit ain ready advantage.
 Alexander was the big scoring ma chine for the New Britain team but 1t was his excellent work with the ! wonderful display of skill by Bib" 1 Boucher that made possible the shots at the cage. Babe Ruth i Brown sent two mighty heavcs into ihe nets from the far corners. one of which tiped Jeans stick to lodge in 1 Ho'yokes' goal.
 | Hart, native and former resident Of kensington was easily Holyoke's 's best bet. His floor work equalled that of the local players and finally in the third period, he managed to i slip two goals by the spectacular and stonGwall defense of Bill Blount. Gid" Brown also excelled on the defense with Captain Archie Muir | head making the banks ring with his passes to the forward part of the rink.
 Roucher's work against Jean was the feature of the afternoon. Time after time Bib puny in compari- son with the Holyoke captain, made the big fellow look lost as he whirl- ed about him on a nimble pair of feet. The teamwork of the local quintet was of the best sort seen this year. The summary:

 Win Evening Game
 Despite the fast pace of the after noon game. the New Britain team returned to the floor in the evening to put in an even harder nights work and conquer the Waterbury club. champion outfit of the first half of the league by the score of 4 to 0. The game was easily the fastest exhibition by both teams seen on the local floor since the game was revived here.
 The New Britain team through it's win. ascended the throne to lead the league with two wins and no losses and because of the wonderful exhi- bition put up by the local players, the team rightfully deserves to re- pose at the top of the heap.

Those attacks that Brown failed to break up. were stopped dead by Bill Blount. After his work of last night, Blount could easily quality for the role of a Contortionist in a circus. Blount's work was wonderful to watch and was the biggest reason why Waterbury was unable to score.

TEXAS BOXER, IN HOSPITAL,
 WRITES BOOK

DALLAS, Texas, Oct. t7-AThe same bulldog tenacity that has made him one of the most fear ed prizefighters in the country, has enabled Bobby Waugh, former lightweight champion of the South west, to write the history of his career in the ring.
 Half paralyzed and almost blind, he has pecked out his story with one finger while convalescing from a series of operations at sani- tarium in Rochester, Minn. Fans who once idolized Waugh dug into their pockets to send him to Ro- chester. His book, My Life In the Prize Ring was written in a valorous effort to pay back the money his friends had lent him for his rehabilitation.
 For 15 years Waugh cut a wide swath through the fistic ranks of the Southwest Never more than a legitimate lightweight, the Fort Worth battler fought every man who came his way up to light heavyweights.
 In 354 fights he was victorious by knockouts 1S2 times. He suf- fered three technical knockouts, all in the last year of his activity. Although he did most of his fight ing in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, Waugh's mighty fists once were close to the lightweight throne.
 Charlie White and Waugh met twice when the Chicago south paw was in his prime. Waugh gain ed a technical knockout in the seventh round of the first en- counter, but White got a draw in the second battle.
 One of Bobby's greatest victor- ies was scored over Battling, Nelson at Juarez, Mexico, in 1915., Waugh was awarded the verdict after 20 rounds of furious milling.

SIGNALS IN SPANISH
 HELP TEXAS ELEVEN

WAXAHACHIE, Texas, Oct. 17.-By practicing their Spanish lessons on the grid iron Trinity University foot ball players believe they have found a way to outwit opponents without using the huddle.
 The team lines up and the quarterback sings out:
 "Signalesl Veinte, dos, ocho. Comprendes ustedes ?"
 The ball is snapped and an end run is made.
 The drawback, of course, is that opponents also may be students of Spanish.
