As opposed to this the Bears scored 179 points for so far removed frm the scene of the season. battle that in his unthinking way he must have felt that his words would not get back, Firpo gave his native South American brethren some strange excuses for losing to Jack Dempsey when he returned Coach Andy Smith showed his wisdom by playing safe and not at- tempting to run up the large scores of the last few years. Practically every university that Calffornia played this year had one of the home recently. Knowing Firpo well. it is hard best teams of its history. This is particularly true of the U. 8. C., to believe that he would descend to excuse himself by abusing facts, because, in the first place, he did not have to excuse himself.

In order to nurse his men along through the most strenuous sched- ule they have ever attempted, the second round of that memor- ight last summer, he was No doubt he was not wil- tully wrong, as he could not have known personally whether the count Coach Smith developed a defensive type of play that kept the ball in enemy territory practically the en- tire time. The margin of difference between the two teams was nearly was elght or elghty when he was knocked out. Porhaps he took always greater thar. the score indi- cated. California's goal line was the word of the men tn his corner and they were in no better condition to know whether the counting time- keeper had not followed his watch to the tenth second. Firpo was so done physically that he could not have been sure whether seriously threatened on very few occasions this season. By its finished play which kept the bal! in safe territory the Ca! fornia eleven established its repu- tation as the smartest and most pol- ished football team on the coast. he was in Oskosh or Peru.

This precaution was first tried by the boxing commission in New Jer- sey during the Dempsey-Carpentier fight. Francois Descamps, the Frenchman's manager, had a habit of jumping into the ring when it Jwas going badly against his fighter and thus getting an escape on a foul. It was desired to have no fouls figure in the Dempsey-Carpentier fight and several special policemen in plain clothes were parked back of Carpentier’s corner. Descamps did make an attempt to jump up into the ring, but he was pulled back on his stool by two pairs of strong atms. He did not protest. He knew what had been done and the reasons for it. It is supposed that the same pre- cautions were taken by the New York commission and that if La- velle did make an attempt to break the rules, he might have been pulled down fram the steps leading into the ring. Firpo's seconds were shouting frantically in Spanish all during the fight, and if they were making protests, it is not strange that the referee was ignorant of the attempt. Referees usually are not selected for their talent as linguists. Firpo lost the chance to become the heavyweight champion because he made too many vital mistakes— in his training, in his preparation for the fight, in the selection of his associates and in the mechanical part of the actual fight. pecrntiert testis init RACING TEAM IS DISBANDED LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3.—Mem- bers of R.

Captain Don Nichola was admitted'y the best safety man on the coast and starred in all departments of the game, At the same time practically every one of those trained observers in the press pit knew that Firpo was counted out in the first round; that he was on the floor when the tenth second was called over him and that he was saved only because the ref- eree waited for the timekeeper to declare him out and the timekeeper thought it was the duty of the ref- eree to do it, Firpo was reported to have said that his chief second, Horacio La- velle was restrained in his corner when he attempted to get in the ring and enter a cluim of a foul against Dempsey. Firpo, of course, recefved that tn- formation second-hand, and advano- ng it as an alibi, he showed how ignorant he was on the rules. If Lavelle had been allowed to enter the ring during the course of a round, Firpo would have been au- tomatically disqualified and would have lost himself on a foul. 1 Firpo does not know that, he should never have entered the ring in a heavyweight championship fight. The writer was sitting in Firpo's corner during the fight. Of course during @ round it is impossible to observe what is going on in the cor. ner, especially when the action is as violent and sustained as it was In that fight. But it was not ob- served that Firpo’s seconds made any attempt to protest on a foul. If Lavelle did try to get up into the ring {t was certain that he was restrained.
