GRADUATION TAKES
PITT GRIDIRON ACES
Weinstock, Munjas, Nicksick and
All Except One Regular in
Line to Be Lost.

GRADUATION will take many stars
N from Pittsburgh's foot ball
squad next June. Many Of the
men who played leading roles on the
Panther elevenS of the past three
years wound up their collegiate grid
iron careers against Carnegie Tech on
Thanksgiving day.
More than any, perhaps, Coach Jock
Sutherland will miss Capt. Charles
Hartwig and Ken Ormiston, stalwart
guards. who were the backbone of
Pitts rugged line during the past cam
paign. This duo ranks among the
best of many great line men developed
at Pitt.
The Panther forward wall will be
almost completely wrecked by gradu-
alton, for, in addition to Hartwig and
Ormiston, George Shotwell, center;
Robert Hoel and Stanley Olejniczak,
tackles, and Harvey Rocker, end, will
be lost. All these men we're regulars,
leaving Verne Baxter, end, the only
returning first-string line man.
The backfield will be hardly less
affected. IMy Weinstock, Heinie
Weisenbaugh, Miller Munjas and Mike
Nicksick, who blazed Q trail Of glory
against such powerful opponents as
Southern California, Minnesota, Notre
Dame, Navy and Nebraska this Fall.

Molineaux Loses Control.

TN THE fourth round, Cribs face
i was bloody. but he came to the
scratch with a smile. Molineaux
was painting. He knocked the Eng
Ishman down with light blow. Crib
claimed a foul in the fifth when the
Negro hit him a hard blow as he was
falling. He was overruled. The tide
of battle began to turn in the sixth.
Crib doubled up Molineaux with a
solar -plexus punch. The Negro lost
his self-control. HE capered around
like a dancing master, hitting short
and wild" Crib followed him and
nvered almost at full arms length.
Molineaux fell from weakness" in
the seventh, after taking five or six
hard punches on the jugular vein. In
the eighth, the Englishman caught the
Negro's head under his arm and
pounded his face. In the ninth, Crib
delivered punch which broke
Molineaux's jaw. He fell like log
and could not get up within the re-
quired 80 seconds. But the cham
pion of England was thirsty for blood.
He refused to claim the victory, but
danced a hornpipe around the stage"
until the Negro could struggle to his
feet. Molineaux was able to stagger
from his seconds knee for the tenth
round, but, before a blow had been
struck, he fell from weakness. The
fight ended in the eleventh. Crib
knocked the Negro down and he could
not rise. Amidst the roar of the spec

Make Up Uru0xe.
THE Negro had fallen so hard his
impact with the floor was heard
to the edges of the crowd. He
lay at full length. A London surgeon
leaped into the ring with his scalpel
and proceeded to bleed" the uncon-
scious fighter. The man had broken
jaw and two broken ribs. He was
taken to an inn nearby, where he lay
at the point of death for several days.
One of the earliest to call upon him
was Crib, and the two seemed to have
patched up their enmity. for, a few
months later, Molineaux, completely
recovered, boxed at Cribs benefit tn
London.
Crib himself was badly battered
and nearly blind. His victory brought
him even greater reward than the 400
pounds and the applause Of all Eng
land-freedom from the discipline Of
Barclay. Immediately after the fight
he broke training at the Bullion
Witham Common.
Crib had triumphal journey back
to London in 'barouche and four
horses decorated with blue ribbons.
His reception along the road was as
great as any gallant officer would have
received bearing the narrative of any
gallant exploit against a foreign
enemy" London streets were blocked
with crowds as his equipage passed
through. Back home. the triumphant
fighter, with two black eyes, held a
reception in the coal shed in the rear
of his house. Some time before he
had set up in the coal business.
Trainer Claims Credit.
THE real credit for the victory
was claimed by Barclay. He
won a bet of 10000. The
Scotsman called attention to the fact
that, just before the fight, Crib. under
his orders, had partaken of only two
boiled eggs, while the Negro had
''bolted q roas. chicken. an apple pie
and tankard of beer"
Crib was England's hero. The giant
Gregson, now retired from the ring
and a respectable tavern keeper and
poet, wrote odes in his honor. A coat
Of arms was struck for him, repre-
senting the triumph Of England over
America. He was made president of
the Pugilists' Club.
Molinex went from bad to worse

BY TOM HENRY.

"HE epochal second battle be-
tween Crib and Molineux was
fought on September 20, 1911,
i at Thistledon Gap, where the
three counties of Leicester
shire, Lincoln and Rutland join.
1t was England against America,
white against black. For days before
the battle every available lodging for
20 miles around had been hired. At
sunrise Of the day there was no stand
ing room in the field surrounding the
ring, although the fighters were not
to appear until noon. At least fourth
of the crowd Of $4,000 that milled
around the 25-foot stage built on a
stubble ground were of the nobility.
Both men entered the ring looking
pale and tired. Molineux also had
lost weight, due to the hardships of
the transforming tour Crib was a
six-to-four favorite. In the first round,
after an exchange of four hard blows,
he knocked the Negro down with a
hard punch to the throat. In the Sec
ond, however, blood began to trickle
from Cribs mouth. First blood" was
significant in such a battle, and many
bets depended upon it. Then Crib
was 'wrestled down." The odds
dropped. There followed a round of
furious fighting. Molineux concen-
trated on head punches. He closed
Cribs right eye. The Englishman,
meanwhile, got in some hard blows to
the stomach. Barclay, his mentor,
rightly deduced that the Negro's weak
ness lay in his wind" Molineux end
ed the round by his old trick of grab
bing Crib around the body with one
arm. while he supported himself with
the other resting against the railing
Of the stage, and gave his opponent a
rapid Tipping"

indicate what, If any, changes need to
be made in the code for next year.
Although there was general salts
faction with the manner in which the
rules operated during the season just
closed. the coaches may decide to
recommend a further opening up of
the game through liberalization of
the rules controlling the use of the
forward and lateral pass. Several
leading coaches have suggested the
adoption of the professional rule which
permits forward passing from any
point behind the line of scrimmage.

MORE AND BIGGER
FISH ARE SNAGGED
Only Herring and Shad Fail
to Provide Real Sport.
Variety Increases.

"HERE were three contributory
causes for a successful 1884
fishing season. In fresh-water
streams the decision Of the
various fish commissions Of nearby
States to plant only adult fish was
. great thing for the native brook
trout and bass anglers. In salt water
the return of eel grass and the aboli-
ton Of the purse METERS was q great
help.
As has been the case for many
years past fresh-water anglers were
handicapped by the muddy condition
of streams during the Spring and
Summer. In salt water many thun-
der storms and strong winds played
havoc with the aspirations Of the
angler for a large part Of the season.
Good Most All Season.
TTOWEVER, there hardly is a fish
erman who did not hook more
and larger fish the past sea-
son. At the start Of the season, for
. short time, many good size white
perch were caught In the swift waters
around Chain Bridge. The run Of
herring. usually enjoyed by fishermen,
many Of them coming down from
Upper Maryland, West Virginia and
Virginia, was a disappointment, and
the shad caught in the Potomac last
year were few and far between.
When the hardhead or croakers
made their appearance in Chesapeake
Bay and its tributaries in May 1t was
just a question of how many the
anglers desired to bring home. Un-
usually large catches were reported
from all sections and the fish kept
up uniformly large size during the
entire season.
More and larger weakfish or sea
trout appeared than for years past
Some Of these gamesters weighed
and pounds, and a catch Of 100
or more was no exception.
Blue Fish Plentiful.
The blue fish, that tiger Of the sea,
appeared In large numbers and great
er weight in Chesapeake Bay. A s.
pound blue Is nice fish, but some
weighing as much as 13 pounds were
landed and large numbers weighing
from 8 to 8 pounds were caught al
most every day.
In the Lower Potomac fishing for all
the different species was exceptional
ly fine. hardhead, trout. blues and
even an occasional channel bass being
landed. The rockflsh, or striped bass,
furnished wonderful sport of Piney
Point and Tall Timbers.
A greater variety of fish were
caught in Chesapeake Bay than ever
before. A sailf1sh entered the bay
and was captured by several anglers
above Annapolis.

GRILLS
CITY BURGLAR
ON GAMBLING
Prisoner Says He Accepted
Stolen Car for GAM
ina Loan.

Gambling conditions in Indian
apols received somewhat of an air
ing today in criminal court when
Judge Frank P. Baker quizzed a
burglary defendant at length, be-
fore pronouncing sentence.
The defendant, Ray Hill, 40, Of
544 North Capitol avenue, received
one to ten years in the Indiana
state prison on the burglary charge.
Virgil Hart, 33, same address, was
discharged. William Ball. same ad-
dress, an alleged accomplice, is in
jail on another indictment.
The three men were arrested in a
stolen car Sept. 8.
Hill, under questioning by Judge
Baker, explained possession of the
stolen car by saying that be OBJ
tanned it last Labor day from a
man he knew as Albert Price, De-
troit.
Lost at Gambling Joint
Price, according TO Hill, lost money
in a gambling joint at Ohio and
Delaware streets, and borrowed SIS
from him on the car Later, he let
Price have SIS more, Hill asserted.
Judge Baker was exceedingly skep-
teal about this.
Its been my impression that the
gambling gentry are too smart to
take a car without a certification of
title" he asserted.
The court then questioned Hill
about alleged gambling joints in In
dianapolis.
FOrgets Addresses, Names
"Was that place at Ohio and
Delaware streets run by the same
people as the one which operated
just little south of there where
a policeman stood out in front?"
Judge Baker asked.
Hill said it was.
