Of the three inter-sectional football game between the East and West the law of averages calls for at least one Western team to turn in a win. West Virginia has already started for home with victory number one for the East, Two days more will bring Pittsburgh and Stanford together in the only post season game in this section, at the Stanford stadium. Following which, on Monday, U. S. C.

and Penn State are booked to meet at Pasadena. Reports from the south make U. S. the favorite. None, save soothsayers and song of prophets, are venturing to say what the outcome of either the game Saturday or Monday will be.

It stand-to reason that Pittsburgh should win and no one appears to realize it as well as little Andv Kerrdirector of A Br TOM IKW1V. STAXrORD UXIYKIISITTPpp, IS. "Pop" VTarner's Panthers were in their element on a muddy turf yesterday morning. They, went through their drills yesterday with as much careless ease a if they were In their own backyard calling almnls for a frame with the Buck-I itiejkrrmhmen. It appears that The Panthers are not suffering from fear of their western opponents at any rate.

But the near-defeat of Wert Virginia at the hand of mall and almost unheard-of has taken away much of the attitude of confidence and has knocked the four-touchdown mar-lrin for a row, of pickle barreli. Warner's eleven will now be satisfied with a win by any margin, one, ii or ten points. But a muddy turf will be greatly to their advantage, especially since it would probably fcum up the aerial game upon whi Kerr must largely depend, together with trick plays. It would lie a still further advantage in the ease of the large and ispeedy gent named Orvllle Hewitt who Is noted for hs ability to keep his footing Icy, dusty turfs alike. His JOO pounds of meat and bone will probably, take him and his ten sidekicks a long way 8at-A urday in their battle with the de- fenslve Cards, who for the lack of plunging back.

will, be waiting for iom Panther to drop the ball. It Will be Walter Camp's Idea of the i latest development in American football that will characterize the Cards' style of play next Saturday. Tor variety of attack and initiative tf individual players the spectarors must look to the Panthers. The Stanford eleven' with a great, de-fensj will stubbornly contest every Inch, cautiously waiting for the 1 break that will turn the tide and then the aerial attack and decep-r tion play will be brought into the game. If this falls, Wllcos or Cleavelahd will punt and the Cards will settle down to watchful wait-! ing once more, leaving the burden of responsibility on the shoulders of the eastern invaders.

Ths new try for point after touchdown, tn effect during the past season for the first time, and giving the team scoring a touchdown an option as to its attempt for the extra point from scrimmage on the 5-yard Un, was endorsed i)y the association" despite opposition. While no new plan for scoring the extra point was suggested, several coaches expressed a belief that it had developed Into too much of an Individual effort, as was the case In the -old kick for goal after touchdown, and that more of a team effort would be desirable. -One recommendation approved Involved application to the beginning of a game the same penalty for delay which now prevails tor delay in stjVtlng the second half.

TW penalty- for the latter offense constitutes elimination of the kick-off and giving to the offended team an option of putting the ball in play on the opposing team's 35-yard line or allowing the offending side to put the ball tn scrimmage on its own 15-yard mark. The association went on record as opposing changing officials after they have been properly, designated for contests and suggested that influence be brought to bear to secure a national association oi foothall officials, similar to the coachei? organization. Establishment by officials of a uniform code of signals for the convenience of spectators was advised and a committee was authorized to work out such, code.

"Who will win?" asked Kerr.t repeating the question hurled at him yesterday, "i aon't want to appear pessimistic nor do I think that I am In any sense of the word whfcn I frankly say that Pittsburgh is a far better team than Stanford. I KNOW- I have coached at both institutions. It was' only lust year that I was at Pittsburgh. I have coached many of the amo men Warner will start against my team Saturday. I KNOW what they can do." Coach Kerr Frank In His Statements And Andy does K-N'OW.

Mister A. Kerr is the frankest individual in the ranks of the football coaching profession at present operating on the Pacific slope. Andy is n6t a bit forward, and is Inclined to re fuse to take full credit when he has it coming to. him. He modestly admits that he feels that the Stanford team did as well as could be expected this, season.

"When you stop to consider that the general public expected a world oeater, a team that would roll up huge scores, would beat the same teams California beat, and by larger scores you have an Idea of why I say that I believe Stanford had a successful season. We didn't do what the pubic expected, it was unreasonable. But we made a good showing, improving in every game, and I feel that the season wafl a success even though we were, defeated by three college teams," said Kerr 1 Pittsburgh Tabbed Winner by Critics Western, football critic are practically unanimouwly. of the opinion that Pittsburgh wiH beat Stanford. The score, as is always the case where one football team is on unknown quantity, is imposslbe to pirn.

Anny tverr concedes mat Pittsburgh has nt least a two-touch-down margin going into the game. Tiny Thornhill, who knows Warner system and the-men-on-the team, yesterday admitted that he believed the Panthers at least four touchdowns better than Stanford as one team against the other. The trip to the coast, however, is figured to be worth just three touchdowns. In the opinion of Thornhill, who estimates that the Pitt players, unaccustomed to pleasant weather at this time of the year, will find It difficult to acclimate themselves In the few days alloted and will take the field but one touchdown over Stanford. No Tine appears inennea to pick me score.

As In the California game, Stanford may be blanked, yet has an excellent chance of scoring. Punting of Wilcox Receives Praise Commenting on one factor, punting, Warner and Kerr discussed various' punters yesterday before practice. In -mentioning Art Wilcox, who will do the kicking for Stanford. Kerr said: "This kicking to touch, as it was called in rugby, or punting out of bounds abotjt an opponent's five-yard line, is the one thing that we have been able to salvage from the rugby game. All season Wilcox has beep trying to place his kicks in such a fashtrn and he had been regularly criticized by many for so doing.

I consider It one of the greatest assets a punter can possess, the ability to place his kicks so as to'get the maximum- "ifuiee with the minimum return." said Kerr. According to Warner, Walter Tamo would nut a man on his All-American who merely showed the ability to kick out of bounds consistently well within an opponent's territory. Judging from Warner's remarks. Anderson and Flanagan, the two Panther punters, may be figured to play 'the same game with Wilcox on Saturday. Whether or not Cnptain Tommy Holleran would be seen in action at quarterback was not settled last niRht.

Hchuler, econd strin quarterback, is also on the lift of ronvalescents. so Winterburn, who Iijis been tilling in at the- position the past month, maystnrt in the backfleld combination. which wmilrt then include Hewitt "at full bthI Anderson and Flanagan at halves.

If he was, Jimmy Duffy and Battling Ota would not be on the New- Tear's after- noon boxing card at the Auditorium. It will be remembered that Tommy took Jimmy eastand Jattiee left wry unceremoniously. Since that time lie has been managing himself. About the same time Battling Ortega, who was practically "made" by Simpson, took a run-out powder on the manager and hied himself toother climes. Now they are both in town, again and will gather in a pair Of the well-known Simp-sonlan medals Monday afternoon.

Ortega has had his ups and downs, and also his downs and ups since leaving here. He has been knocked out innumerable times, lost several on fouls, and in general did not do much good for himself. Last time he boxea ienny, Handsome Frankie friends were' paved the cost of flowers when the referee pulled the Battler nf the Brbadway Beau Brummel. Denny was staggering around the ring, while Ortega had one ready to Shoot at the pantry, and that one would have been the finisher. "However, Denny (s as good today as he was then, while Ortega has slipped considerably.

Rfty Long, who meets Jimmy Duffy in the mnin event, gave Jack Britton a tough battle May 26, 1922. Britton won by taking one more round than the challenger, and of the fight give Long credit for being just as good a fighter as the then champ of the welters. Long is 23 years of age, has scored 45 knockouts in 124 battles and is managed by his father. Among -his victims are some well-known performers. He handed Johniy Griffith a licking and gaveV Bud Logn-a neat trouncing.

Recently he Kave away a chunk of weight to.JocK Malone and had the middleweight out on his feet in the seventh xound. Maybe he wont beat Duffy, but his record Is as gooor as any.

Inasmuch as Pittsburgh walloped Penn tate 14-Q at their meeting this season- Henderson decided to oo a personal scouting, the Pitt players could give Henderson all the information desired. Whether the Trojan mentor secured the de sired information, at yesterday's workout behind barred gates was not announced. It is more, than likely that Henderson will remain to view the Pltt-Stanrord contest Saturday, figuring to learn much of Penn State by watching Pitt's style of play.

In the last" minutes of the game then, when the offensive has worn Itself down, the defensive is able suddenly to take the Initiative and win itself glory and fame by apparently outplaying the stronger eleven.
