DEMPSEY VERY ANXIOUS TO GET
 BECKETT BOUT

Jack Kearns is concentrating his at- tention on a match between Jack Dempsey and Joe Beckett. If Beckett cannot be induced to come to this country, Dempsey, who has recon sidered an earlier determination not to defend his title on foreign soil, will cross the seas to fight England's pre- nier heavyweight.
 ''I am willing to listen to any offers for bouts for Dempsey" said Kearns. 'but the one I am most interested ill just now is that which has been made to me for a Denpsey-Beckettb bout at New Orleans.
 Dan Tortorieh, the promoter in that city, has offered Jack S150,00O for his end of a big bout with the English champion, and pressure is now being brought to Beckett to make him agree to come over here, something which he doesn't appear to be very anxious to do. I'll say this right now; if I become convinced that Beckett will not cross the ocean to fight Jack and if he doesn't come at the behest of the people who are now after him he won't come at alive will go to England.
 "The fight game Is remarkably pop u1ar in England just now. Why, a friend of mine who recently returned to the United States told me today he had paid S175 for a rfngsidez seat for the Beckett-McGoorty bout. An Eng fish sportsman told me the other day he would give Jack s10O,0o0 for his end of a fight with Beckett in Lon don. I asked him how much he thought it would draw, and he said in the neighborhood of s1,000,0O0. thought he was joking, but he assured me he wasn't. I told him in that case I'd demand s25O, 900 for Dempsey and | he said he'd have to talk the propo- l sition ever with his associates in Eng land before he could offer me that ] amount"
 Kearns says that reports made to | him by those who have recently come from England indicate that the Brit | ish followers of the glove game think l Beckett is unbeatable
 t"They tell me that even if the Brit | ish fans had an opportunity to see Dempsey in action, they'd still hold to 1 the belief that he would be soft for | Beckett" he said. Anytime Jack steps into the ring with Beckett, the Brftons will make Beckett the favorite l in the betting. Can you imagine that?"

PENN STATE IS WINNER IN GAME
 WITH PITTSBURC

Pittsburgh, Nov. 28 - Penn State defeated the University of Pittsburgh, 20 to 0, in the annual Thanksgiving Day game at Forbes Field yesterday afternoon, scoring one touchdown in each of the first three periods, but failing to kick goal after the second score. The 20 points just about meas ure States superiority over Glenn Warmers charges.
 Never since the famous coach of the Carlisle Indians assumed charge of he coaching of Panther football teams have Pittsburghers seen a Pitt team as utterly helpless as the eleven that faced State. Hastings and Day. ies, two backs who have worried every team they have faced this fall, were | easily stopped by the boys from Penn State, and it was not until late in the game that they were able to register any consistent gains.
 There was not department of play | aside from bunting, in which State did not excel. In the bunting Hast l ings had the better of Hess and Hig- | gins. The latter relieved the fullba ok 1 of the kicking, after Hess had put his | goal line in danger with several spiraIs
 that failed to travel more than 20 yards
 With play only a few minutes old, | State was forced to kick, deep in her own territory, and Hess lifted a punt
 straight up. Pitt receiving it on the
 22-yard line. Aided by a penalty and | plunges by Hastings and Davies, the
 ball was carried to the eight-yard line 1 where State took 1t on downs. Hess | dropped back as if to punt and the
 entire Pitt team, except Hastings
 who was back for the punt, set itself to block the kick. This left Higgins free and he ran out 20 yards and re- cefVed Hess pass from behind the
 goal line. Brown, States left end
 was beside him and the two of them
 disposed of Hastings, allowing Hig-
 gins to complete the distance to the
 goal line, a gain of 92 yards from the point of scrimmage.

CORNELL. FIGHTS HARD BUT LOSES
 TO PENN TEAM

Philadelphia, Nov. 28.---witl a heave and a toss, and a smash thrown in, the Pennsylvania football team tore its way to triumph over the Cornell
 eleven in their 18th meeting on Frank lin Field yesterday afternon before
 25,0 GOO onlookers. Versatility, power, rhythm and polish were developed to i a high degree in the play of the blue Jerseyed host as it stamped across the
 soggy, withered turf for three touch
 downs, and with the help of field
 goal line, or tnbued with a spirit of ihapless combintrion, which in other days was called the Big Red team. Pennsylvania attained it's hoped for glory to the full measure, but for Cornell, even with its head bowed un-
 der the weight of "A points, there was glory in defeat. Twice the Ithacans held the Red and Blue for downs in- side their one yard line. Once on the two foot mark, in first period, and
 again on the one foot mark, in the second quarter, Pennsylvania hurled its full strength at what had been
 called the Thin Red Line.

May Abolish Goal From Touchdown in
 1920 Football Rules

It is being agitated again that the football rules committee eliminate the goal from touchdown, and place the full value on working the ball over the line. Missed goals robbed Penn of tie with Dartmouth the other day, although both teams made three touchdowns.
 The failure of Stein to kick a goal cost Washin ngton and Jefferson the game, although the Presidents clear ly outplayed the Partners. Any num- } Der of incidents of this sort might be quoted. The feeling against the goal from touchdown is not new. It has long been a thorn in the side of play CT and coach alike, but it has been retained. Kicking goals places a premium on skill, and for that req son, perhaps, it is retained.
