PAGE SIX_ THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE TUESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1928 Western Football Prestige Reestablished as Standford Wins, 7-6 PITT PANTHERS LOSE AS ‘GOAT? BECOMES HERO Frank Wilton Loses and Wins Game Within Few Minutes For Cardinal GILBERT WELCH IS STAR Jock Sutherland’s Drop First Game After Scoring Touchdown Proteges| | Pasadena, C: Jan, 3.-(AP)—} Prestige of western football in the} annual East-West series here, re- duced to the drag status of a draw Jast year and defeats the two pre- vious seasons, today was restored to some of its former luster. In_the 13th tussle of the the Rose Bowl here, the University of Pittsburgh’s Golden Panther: | terday were vanquished by Stanford | ‘university’s Cardinals, 7 to 6. It was Clarence “Biff” Hoffman, | stalwart fullback triple threat, who gave Stanford victory with his un- erring toe, but it was dashing young Frank Wilton, halfback, who turned | the tide of battle. Within the space | of a few minutes, Wilton lost, then ‘won, the game for Stanford. — | An offensive drive early in the; third period took sburgh to the | Cardinals’ 20-yard line. There Stan- ford took the ball on downs. Wilton fumbled while attempting to run his own right end, and Halfback Jimmy Hagan scooped up the ball and} dashed 19 yards to a Panther score. The kick for the extra point was blocked. “Goat” Rises at C From the lowly status of the) “goat,” Wilton rose to the role of one of the heroes of the game. Ap- parent defeat lashed the Cardinals into fury, and they battered their rd line. There Hoffman passed t ims. But the latter fumbled when tackled aft- er he had gone but a few steps. Wil- ton, however, rose in the time of need, snatched up the ball and} fought hjs way across the Panther! goal line, Here “Biff” Hoffman's proficient toe did its work. Much of the glory of Stanford’s triumph rests upon the capable shockers of Hoffman. Time and again he cracked the vaunted Pitts- burgh line open, and he was the bu!- wark of the Cardinal offensive on three long drives to the Panthers’ five-yard line. Gibby Welch, all-American half- back, proved himself the star of the Pittsburgh aggregation. None of his runs were over 18 yards, how- ev s the Stanford men had been ed by their grizzled coach, y Warner, to watch him care- ZR game marked the third defeat ‘withm a period of one week of east- ern aggregations on the coast.

Tommy Loughran, living up to his | promise to be a fighting champion, | exposes his light heavyewelgut) crown to the punches of Leo Lom- ski, Pacifie coast challenger, Friday night at Madison Square Garden. A welterweight title bout between Joe Dundee and Ace Hudkins, a bat- tle for featherweight honors between rival title claimants, Tony Canzoneri and Benny Bass, and a flyweight scrap between tavo other champion | contenders, Izzy Schwartz and Frenchy Belanger, also are on the! cards for the indoor campaign. Tex Likes Loughran Loughran is one of the champions Picked by Tex Rickard to stay on the top perch during 1928, but Tom- my probably will have his hands full with Lomski. The Pacific coast contender is one of the hardest punchers the 175- pound brigade has had in some time and there have been quite a few ro- bust wallopers in this class, from the days of Bob Fizsimmons down to Paul Berlenbach and Jack De- laney. “Lomski is a body puncher, a good one and one of the few boxers now- adays who know how to stick ’em to the mid-section,” says Patsy Haley, veteran New York referee a a a es ee a a a ee Belgiam, | (10). : Johnny Urban, Pittaburgh, outpoint ‘ie irri, Austria, (6). aoe a Charney, Baltimore, defeat Ralph Mendoza, Chicago, (8).

Neither team was able to score in the tenth and E was for trying another inning, although it was quite dark, but. Sheridan absolutely refused permission and started to walk off the field.

Hardly had I called the game, when the sun, somehow peeked out between the clouds, and for a minute or two it was lighter than at any time during the game. However, inside of five minutes the rain was coming down in bucket- fuls and in 10 minutes the ground was ankle deep in mud. My desire to try to play the eleventh inning was very bad judgment. Sheridan had the situation sized up perfectély, except for the few minutes of sunshine that, followed my calling of the game. : Yet, the next day I was featured in all the papers and took a sound ibbing in every one of them.

McPherson was casily the outstand- | ing’ star for the visitors, tallying up six field goals and six free throws. Bliss also starred for the Aggies getting wo field goals and three! free throws, It was due to the playing of Mc- Pherson, both on the offensive and defensive that the visitors nosed out a victory over their more unfortu- nate opponents. Three of the local basketeers went out of the game on personal fouls, materially reducing the offensive work for this quint. The Aggies made a showing through their splendid long passes which were fed to McPherson who negotiated the ring at telling mo- ments, River Falls, although beaten, gave good account of itself with Seger- strom, Bliss, and Hunt starring in both the offense and defense. Segerstrom: connected with one field goal and one free throw, while Bliss netted three field goals and two free throws. Hunt was credited with two field goals and two free throws. However, the scoring of this trio is only a small portion of their work in both defense and of- fense, they being repsonsible for many spills on the court.
