1t is hard for the average tight fan
TO realize that little more than year
ago Jack Dillon was one of the most
prominent figures in the fight game.
1t was only a short while ago that
Dillon was tipping over everyone that
was brought against him and usually
someone quite a hit heavier. II Will
be remembered that some were so en-
thusiastic in their praise Of the little
Hoosier that they declared he was the
only man in the game who had really
shown himself worthy of chance to
meet Jess Willard And this in spite
of the fact that Dillon would be at
greater disadvantage in reach and
age bantam would against good
Weiterweight.. Today Dillon is scarce
~ ever mentioned and he has been
whipped many times recently by very
ordinary fighters. 1t can't be said that
any one decisive defeat has brought
on Dillon's decline The truth seems
to be that he has just about burnt out
and the stuff he had year ago is
with him NO more.

close decisions. which would have
been disputed by some Of the more
hot-headed spirits Of the game. ). But
In each instance. Jennings accepted
the rulings without a word. Jennings
demands the same conduct from his

ARMY-MAvY FOOTBALL GAM
Little Chance That Big Grid Contest
viii Dc Played This Year-sec-
rotary Bakers View.

There II little chance that the Army
Navy football game will be played this
year. Newton d. Baker, secretary Of
war. declared that he was opposed to
having the contest played. even for the
purpose Of raising war fund.
Mr.. Baker explained that the Army
Navy game had been discussed By him
with Secretary Daniels and Col. Pal
mer Pierce, U. 8. A. head Of the Ma.
tional Collegiate Athletic association.
The decision reached was that 70 far
as West Point and Annapolis were con-
cerned. every ounce Of energy ought
to be employed toward the prosecu-
ton Of the war, even at the temporary
sacrifice Of athletics.
At West Point Secretary Baker ex-
planned system Of very intensive mill
itary training has been initiated, while
arrangements are being rushed to grad.
uate two classes ahead.
Mr.. Baker also pointed out that the
feeling between West Point and An
napolis was naturally such that play
ing Of the football match would In
volve much training and preparation.
He does not think that this energy
should be devoted at this time even for
the advantage Of raising a war fund.
