The late Les Darcy was virtually
bounded to death in this country a
few short months ago by persons who
flung the ugly word Stacker" in his
face at every turn. That was before
the United States entered into the
war. Six months have elapsed since
this country declared war on Ger
many, and thousands of young Ameri-
cans have enlisted I'm the army or
navy, yet among these there has been
only one boxer of prominence-Joe
yelling, who enlisted in the national
reserve force.
Pete Herman, bantamweight cham
pi0n, Is in the national army, having
been drafted after his plea for exemp-
ton was denied. Jess Willard, Mike
Gibbons, Ted Kid Lewis, Benny Leon
ard, Johnny Kilbane and others hold
ing titles In their respective classes
or generally regarded as leading con-
tenders, have all failed to enlist. yet
there has been no protest from those
who were loudest in their cries
against Darcy, who, according to re-
ports from Australia, had a family
dependent upon him and was in no
position to offer his services TO Eng

EASTERN PAPER
is STRONG FOR
GILMOUR DOBIE
Former Aggies' Coach Now
Directing Naval Aca-
denny Eleven

Gilmour Dobie, former coach at the
North Dakota Agricultural college,
later with the University of Washing
ton, now coach of the Annapolis Ma
val academy eleven, is shaking things
up in the sedate east. Here is what
The New York Evening Telegram
says of him:
THE great comeback of the Navy
football team in the last two games is
tribute to the coaching skill of Gil
mour Dobie, who bids fair to become
quite as famous in his line as has
Glenn Warner, the guiding genius or
the University of Pittsburgh eleven.
AT the outset of the season the
Navy appeared hopelessly weak in all
departments of play. But today. after
handing the Indians a trouncing to
the tune of 81 70 0. they loom up as
mighty formidable opponents for the
Army should the .elevens meet in the
annual service clash at the Polo
ground next month. Although the big
event was called of by Army ana
Navy officials early in the autumn,
there is still chance that the strug-
gle between the service schools Will
take place and the receipts be devoted
to war charities 49,.
Finished Machine.
"Dobie in two weeks has converted
the Navy eleven from a green OUTFIT
that gave no promise of future devel-
opment whatever into a finished or
ganization. 1t performed with cohe-
sion and intelligence against the In
dams and showed both power and
versatility on attack.
Forward Pass Helps.
"Dobie has accomplished wonders in
drilling the midshipmen in the use of
the forward pass, and il was by this
method of assault they managed to
pile up points against the Carlisle
eleven. To be sure. the Indians no
longer are the formidable outfit they
were in the days of Glenn Warner and
Jim Thorpe. They are but a. shadow
of the great elevens of the past. But
they are still strong enough to give
good account of themselves and the
Nays great victory over them shows
oned with from now on. Dobie ap-
parently has accomplished a miracle
in his swift development of the team"
