Pitt


PITTSBURGH, Jan. 26.
(UP)-Clark d. Shaughnes-
sy, former football miracle"
coach at Stanford university
and mentor at the University
of Maryland last season, takes
charge of the gridiron sport at the
University of Pittsburgh today with
the full rank of professor in a move
hailed as a possible relaxation of
the schools de-emphasis program.
Shaughnessys decision to come
to Pittsburgh was announced by
Athletic Director James Hagan.
While both men denied that a ma
jor change would be effected in the
schools athletic policy, the new
coach's acquisition was seen here
as returning the Panthers to the
nations football spotlight.
He will replace Charles w. Bowser
who took over at Pitt in 1889 when
Jock Sutherland resigned and the
school decided to de-emphasize foot
ball. BoWser will become a navy
aJnleJlc director.
ShaughneSsy, who was released
from obligations of a long-term con-
tract by the University of Maryland,
will, in his own words, be teacher
of football and not man who has
to produce victory after victory"
Hagan said there was no formal
signing of contract between
Shaughnessy and the trustees and
there was no indication of the size
of his salary. Reports said he would
get $4,000 a year-Which would
make him one of the country's
highest-salaried gridiron pilots-but
ShaughneSSy said such figure was
entirely out of proportion
A leading exponent of the famed
at" formation, Shaughnessy guided
Maryland to seven victories against
only two defeats in his first year
last season and his contract-under
which he received $4,000 a year as
coach and athletic director-had
nine years to run.
AT so, ShaughneSsy has had 25
years coaching experience. He reach
ed the peak of his career during
a tWo-Tear regime at Stanford uni
versity when he used the IT" for
nation and led the Indians to an
undefeated season in 1910 and won
six and lost three in 1941. His 1910
team defeated Nebraska in the Rose
Bowl game and Shaughnessy was
chosen coach of the year
He began his coaching career al
Tulane university in 1914 and sub
sequently drilled teams at Loyola
university. louisiana, the Univer-
sity of Chicago, Stanford and Mary
land. He is graduate of the Uni
versity of Minnesota.

Lawrence C. Kangaroo Pete"
Kaarsberg, 66, legendary star of
the University of California's 1893
9S football teams. died here last
night
Kaarsberg, tiny halfback with
handles sewn to his moleskins, won
fame by having two husky guards
pitch his headlong over the line
when extra yards were needed. He
coached at Oregon after gradua-
ton, and later was supervisor at
the Mare Island navy fard here.
Surviving are the widow and a
brother, Hans K. KaarSberg, of
Fresno. Cal.
Imperial Valley press., 1943-01-26

He told of his experiences as a
member of the Chicago Bears foot
ball team before he entered SER
vice.
They threw Chicago wide open
to US. We were all given a small
card which said we were members
of the Bears. This entitled us to
enter any baseball game, movie,
dance. hotel or any other place we
so desired, free of cost Monfort
declared.
Monfort, who graduated from the
University of New Mexico after
attending San Bernardino high
school and junior college, played
professional ball two years ago
when the Bears went undefeated
and drubbed the Washington Red
skins, 1870 to win the National
professional League football title.
LOST TO Ell CENTRIC
While attending San Bernardino
high Monfort was a member of the
team that lost "a 1876 decision to
Ell Centro high.
He told the. advantages an athlete
enjoys when he enters service.
The advantage consists mainly,
Monfort said, of being able to en-
dure the rigorous physical fitness
program of the service.
He described his training as a
Naval aviator and later when he
transferred into the Marine flying
branch.
AT first we spent an entire half
a day being conditioned. Many are
the times I gladly would have play
ed two or three games of football
in one day instead of continuing
with the Navy physical course" he
said.
Monfort spoke easily and we'll.
He held the attention of the sew
eral score of football lettermen
from Ell Centro, Imperial and Holt
vile high schools and the squad
from Ell Centro junior college
INTRODUCED PLAYERS
After Monfort spoke, each coach,
except Ben Palmgren of Holtville
who is now a Navy lieutenant, in
troduced his squad.

NEW YORK. Jan. 26-CUP)-Joe
ChoynSki. famous old-time Califor-
mia fighter who died this week in
Cincinnati. was a principal in the
most celebrated grudge fight in
ling history - his battle of the
barge with the late Jim Corbett.
Choynski. the good little man
who beat many good big men, made
several other notable contributions
TO pueilistic history, but he will
be remembered longest for his
bloody barge braWl with Gentle
man jim" That was the ultimate
in grudge fights
Corbett and Choynski were rear
ed few blocks apart in the Hayes
Valley section of San Francisco,
and as each progressed pUgilistic-
ally they became bitter rivals for
the admiration of the city's fight
fans. They fought five times, but
for of these feuding engagements
were minor meetings compared to
that laundering melee on the barge.
The feud started when both were
amateurs. Corbett boing for the
Olympic club and Choynski for
the rival California Athletic club.
Brothers of both boxers worked in
the city hall They argued and
their arguments spread to admir-
ers Of Irish Corbett and Jewish
Chovnski. After various Incl
dents Jim and Joe fought with
their bare fists in the sand hills

ing in 1888. Corbett knocked out
Joe in the first round.
MET AGAIN
A year later they met in an anna
teur tourney and Corbett won
three round decision. ChoynSki
turned professional and enjoyed
such success that he decided to
tackle his arch enemy again. Mem
bers of Choynski's club goaded Cor
bett, through the newspapers, into
accepting -for-stakeS or

instructor at the Olympic club aft
er quitting his job as bank teller.
was an amateur 1t required much
persuasion before his father, Pat,
consented to the professional
match, but ne did it out Of family
pride.
Corbett and Choynski met for a
finish fight in a barn near Fair
fax. California, on May 80, 1889.
with a $1,000 side bet at stake. The
sheriff and deputies stopped the
bout in the fourth round. Hence 1t
was shifted to barge, anchored
in the Strait of CarquineZ, near
Benecia, on June 5.
WEIGHT ADVANTAGE
A broiling sun beat down on the
barge as Corbett and Choynskl
we're rowed out from shore. More
than 200 spectators were aboard
Corbett fought with tWo-ounce
gloves, and Joe used teamSter's
gloves because he had lost his two
ounce mitts. Corbett out-Weighed
Joe, 178 pounds to ITO, and had
advantage of height, reach and
speed.
Corbett won the opening rounds
with mastery boxing, but injured
his left hand in the third round.
He already was handicapped by a
broken right thumb, suffered in
TIE brief barn engagement. Choyn-
ski, the harder punchcr, kept bor-
ing in with his scanned gloves, and
by the fifth round both were
bleeding profusely
In the l4th Joe exploded a left
hood on COrbett's right eye, al
rost knocking him out. Corbett

In the c8th Corbett summoned
all his strength and drove right
to Choynski's jaw. Joe went down
for the count. and Jim almost
tainted from the pain in his right
hand. He didn't know the fight
was over when his brothers helped
him to his corner

ending of his barge bout as a full
count knockout in the 28th round.
However. Nat Fleischer's ring rec

Choynski and Jim met again on
July Is that year in four-round
bout at the Olympic club, with Jim
taking the decision. But this was
an anti-climatic engagement.
AS Corbett went on to become
heavyweight champion and Choyn-
ski also carved out career with
his fists, their feud apparently pass
ed into history. But the embers
still smouldered in Choynski's
heart, even when ne was an old
man. At times he would express
great admiration for Corbett. but
on other occasions he would un-
leash whitening blasts against
"Pompadour jim" and he would
snarl like Joe of the barge.
