What's the most important thing in football training? ‘That's a pretty steep question to ask anyone but Head Coach “Hob” Fisher, the mountainous mentor of Harvard, answered ft without a quiver of an eyelash, “Training in tackling is training for both sides. It trains for the defense by hardening a man so that he isn’t knocked out by every spill receives. It trains for the of fense by teaching & man to stop 4 run that may win the game. What could be more important?” There is evidence that Fisher be Neves thoroly in his theory, sor Practicing His huskies are coached in every . | ti in bad shape and the Gefensive strength in the world is of no avail.

WALLA WALLA EAGLES LOSE TO STANWOOD, 6-0 BY TOM OLSEN on a@ slippery clay field where speed counted for nothing, the Walla Walla Eagies went down to thelr first defeat of the season be. fore the Stanwood American hegion team at Stanwood yesterday by a 60 count ‘The game was keenly contested from whistle to whistle. The out standing feature was the neverdic fight of the Seattle youngsters. The speed of the backfield starn, Corbett, McGill and Wilkins, was of no use to the Seattle team, as the fiel4 was covered with a slippery surface of clay and even trotting was an impossibility. The two ends, Wise, and Rathbun, both members| of the 1919 all-city team, could not display their usual classy beand of ball because of the imposible condi tion of the field. STANWOOD DESERVES CREDIT The Stanwood team has a high- class bunch and deserve all the credit in the world for defeating the strong Seattle team. Stanwood’s lone touchdown was made in the second quarter as a re- sult of @ sensational sideline run by their righthalt, Several times did the Eagles come within striking distance of their op- ponents’ goal, but the home talent held for downs and then punted out of danger. | MURPHINE STARS Young Tommy Murphine, at right guard, was the shining light for the losers. Murphine broke thru the line time and time again and broke up plays before they were completed. Bill Wilkins and Rathbun, the two Lincoln all-city men, sparkled at times, and gave the large crowd plenty of thrills. . ‘The Eagles’ linéup was: Rathbun, ends; Ahner and Tuynell, tackles; Johnson and Murphine, guards; Engais, center; R. Corbett, quarter; McIntyre and MoGill, halves; Wilkins, full. The Eagles play Bremerton Sun. day and expect to play in Tacoma Armistice day. BIG BASEBALL MEETING AT CHICAGO TODAY BY J. F. BEAMAN CHICAGO, Nov. %-——National and American league club owners, in an nual meetings here today, were to make @ final attempt to dovetail their plans for reorg@ization of base- ball. Sessions of the two leagues sched. uled far 10 o'clock will merge and formulate & definite program for sub: mission to minor leaguers in Kansas City tomorrow, if hopes of both fac tions materialize. There was no sign of a rift in either side early today, however, and talk of a baseball war was revived with fervor. The Chicago White Sox, New York Yanks and Boston Red Sox will par ticipate. The threat of organization of a 12. club league will be carried thru to day, National league interests an- nounced, unless Ban John: presi dent of the Americ league, and the Washington, Droit, St. Louis, Philadelphia and Cleveland clubs consent to join their mecting before noon “The door of the mecting will stand open for ono or all of them to enter, John Heydler, president of the National league, explyined, but we will make no further proffers of peace. We are willing to make con ceasions to avert a disastrous base ball war—we don't want war and we know the public doesn't, but we can’t backpaddig, We will gladly receive a committee from them and consider any counter-proposal or any sugges: tions they have. We will agree that baseball should be reorganized and there should be some way to get to gether. Others were not hopeful of a com. promise, following # night of contes- ences with Clark Griffith and Thomas Shibe of the “loyal five.” Griffith took the same position John |son has held—that the five remain. ing clubs constitute the American league and should not agree to de cisions of the New York, Boston and Chicago clubs, ‘ ‘ Following conferences with other “loyal” American league magnates during the morning, Clark Griffith, owner of the American league club in Washington, said in case there is a baseball war and a new or. ganization of 12 clube in formed, the American league will start three j Rew clubs. These, he maid, will | be placed in Chicago, Boston and New York, where the American league clubs which have favered reorganization are located.

On the other hand, there were those who declared that Washington had a winning team on Saturday, deapite the 49-to0 victory of the Berkieyitea ~ They argued this way: Had Jim Lanagan or some old coach like him had the Washington team, it would have beaten California, The reply of the pro-Callfornians was that maybe Lanagan or some other fox of the gridiron could have made a winner out of Washington State, but then, again, maybe he couldn't. But despite the controversy, Call fornia stood today as the biggest thing in @ football way on the Coast, and seemed practically certain to be the team which will represent the West in the East-West game at Pagadena New Year's day.

The Rea- vers have won every game that they have played, and have only Broad. way and West Seattle to face before their schedule is completed. Should Ballard lose to Broadway their chances are not lowered to any great extent. Franklin and Lincoln are practically out, of the running| because they both have a tie game} marring their percentage column. If Franklin, Lincoln and Broadway win all their remaining contests they could not come up to Ballard, should they lose one of the two games tha: they have to play, Ballard is expected to win over Went Seattle with little diMoulty, and the loss of ‘the Broadway game means very little to them. So the dope, as it now stands, has Ballard high school as the 1920 prep grid champions, A catcher occupies @ -very im. portant part in a world series, but often he doesn't get much credit.
