VIRGINIA TO SHIFT
POLICY IN COACHING
Alumni and Student Senti-
ment Is for Graduate or
Professional Mentor.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, Deem
Der 6.-Alumni and student sentiment
as expressed at tonights debtae on
the coaching system at Virginia
points to an early change in policy.
Indications are that professional
or graduate coach will be employed
for a period of from three to five
years He must be a man of proved
capacitysEa+man whose reputation has
been made. Whether he is an alumnus
of Virginia or another college is a
minor consideration. If an alumnus
is engaged sentiment strongly favorS
a man who has been out of college for
at least four years, but who has kept
in close touch with the game.
McLane Ti1ton, an alumnuS. who
now is a leading southern banker, adj
vocated an early change in athletic
policy. Each year since 1907, he said,
has seen a different alumnuS at the
head of coaching staff. Some were ex-
cellent and others not 50 good, but
none, he pointed out, was retained Tor
a sufficient length of time to thor
oughly test out his methods and
abilities.
The examples of Dobie at Annapolis,
the Heisman switch from Clemson to
Georgia Tech, Warner from Carlisle
to Pittsburgh, and many others have
convinced both alumni and the stu
dent body that Virginia must profit
by them. They believe that until this
is done the morale of the men on the
field, the support of the men on the
campus and the alumni will not con-
dt,ce toward restoring Virginia to her
old. leadership.

The proposed trip of the Harvard

A telegram was sent Immediately
to W. L. Deishman, chairman of the
carnival of roses committee. at Pasa-
dena, by whom Harvard had been in
vited to the coast, stating that the
engagement had been called off "in
accordance with the provision in the
telegram of acceptance for canoeing

ed transportation facilities.
One special car, it was said, would
have been used by the team. 1t had

Sharkey Decisiively
I. Beats Jimmy Wide

MILWAUKEE,: Wis,
December 6.-Ji m m y
:, Wilde, the English : fly
weight champion, making
his first American appear
ance, was decisively out
/, pointed by Jack 'Sharkey,
a New York bantam
weight, tonight.
The defeat of Wilde, the
pride of the English fistic
world, was a surprise. He
succeeded in winning only
two of the ten rounds,
Sharkey having the better
!. of seven sessions, and the
first was even. The New
Yorker started out to make
it a rushing fight and
brought the crowd to its
feet in two rounds when he
staggered the little Welsh
man with rights and let's to
the chin. He landed more
frequently than Wilde and
his punches had greater
force.
Wilde lived up to none
of his advance notices. His
Judgment of distance was
bad and there was little
force behind his punches.
He got $4,000 for the
thirty minutes he was in
the ring.
Neither fighter was
marked, although Sharkey
was bleeding at the mouth
as the result of Wilde's left
jabs.
Under the Wisconsin
laws no referees decision
can be given, but it was the
unanimous opinion of the
newspaper experts at the
ringside that Sharkey had
clearly the better of the
match.

BECKETT BOUT NOT REAL TEST
AS COMEBACK FOR CARPENTER

Georges Carpenters stunning vic
tory over zoe Beckett. the British
heavyweight champion. in Holborn
stadium last Thursday night was hail
ed with satisfaction throughout the
sporting world. The Frenchman enter
ed the ring with all the physical ad-
vantages against him. Beckett out
weighed him by fourteen pounds. had
the better of reach and had done
more ring fighting. in the last four
years. British critics installed the
Englishman favorite in the betting at
odds of 10 to s.
1t was feared that the experiences
of Carpenter in the world strife
would put him out of the running as
boxer. When war was declared ne
rushed to the colors to play man
par. in the great emergency. he
served as an aviator. and later as an
ambulance driver. His life was any
thing but conducive to athletic great
ness. However, despite all that ne
had endured he came back, apparently
faster and stronger than ever-a real
fighter.
He simply overwhelmed Beckett and
had him beaten almost before the
men put up their hands. He showed
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-12-07

in the time necessary to accomplish
his feat that he had lost nothing in
speed, science and hitting power. Yet
it cannotsbe truly said that this fight
was real test for the Frenchman.
1t was anything but a test. Beckett
stood in the center Of the arena like
a dumb steer waiting to be knocked
down.
Carpenter is now to be matched
with Dempsey, or SO the stories have
it. He will find no sluggish Briton
in the Yankee mankiller. Dempsey
is quite as fast as Carpenter, and
he can hit just as hard, if not, as
many believe, infinitely harder. Demp-
sey. while essentially a fighter. is no
SLOUGH in cleverness. His shifty, bob
bing style makes him hard to hit.
If Carpenter has not lost much of
his stamina through his rigorous eX-
periences in the defense of his coun-
try, he is, indeed, a superman. 1t has
been noted with many soldiers return
ing from overseas service that, while
they looked good externally, they had
lost that reserve strength and re-
operative power indispensable to
ring fighters.

NAVY YARD AND REX

Clash at Union Park at 3
O'Clock for D. C. Foot Ball
Championship.

Primed for the game that will mark
ahe climax of a remarkably success
ful season for both elevens, the Rex
Athletic Club and Navy Yard teams
will clash today at Union Park for
the foot ball championship of the
District. Training for the contest
was completed yesterday. and with all
the members of both squads in good
physical condition one of the most
spectacular and hardest fought bat
ties of the season should be witnessed
when the teams take the field at 18th
and H streets northeast at o'clock
this afternoon.
With the controversy regarding the
Gals settled by the naming of
Cusack, referee, and MetZler, O'Reilly
and Jouannet, as umpire, field judge
and head linesman, respectively. only
good weather is needed to assure at
tendance of the largest crowd that
has visited Union Park this fall.
Officials last night announced the
game will not be called off except in the
event that it is raining half an hour be-
fore it is due to start.
Both teams have a host of followers.
and while the Navy Yard players
something of an edge on their semi
pro opponents in all around ability,
the Rex supporters are confident the
team possesses speed and punch
enough to land the title.
Admiral A. w. Grant. commandant
of the navy yard, is expected to add
a touch of official color to the contest
by occupying a seat of vantage on
the machinists' side of the field to
root for Coach Turner's team. The
Naval Gun Factory Band will dis
pense music to enliven the proceed
ings.
