The training plans Of Jess Willard
and Jack Dempsey bring to mind the
fact that the methods pursued by
present-dsy boxers to ft themselves
for battle differ considerably from
those followed by the old-timers.
The main reason for the change Is
The fact that the present.day millers
train for speed primarily and en-
DURANGO secondarily The old boys
used to tougher themselves for q
grueling. heart breaking, man
crushing battle. Endurance was the
prime requisite decade and more
ago. Often it was the man who could
take the most punishment who
veentually won the long drawn out
battles.
Today the man who can step
faster, tap quicker and step away
quickly has the edge
The reason for this change is the

KING PLAUDIT BALKS AT POST;
 BETTORS LOSE

New York Sept. 26.-George Odom's s -year-old colt King Plaudit has developed into an exceptionally fast colt. but he has lost none of his cum ming or bad temper. In the fifth race at Aqueduct yesterday afternoon he refused to break with his field and C3ntered around the course a half mile behind his opponents. A few minutes later he went forth and in a trial against time galloped a mile in the real fast time of 1:SS 3-5.
 The stubborunesS of the colt was 8 great blow to a big majority of the thousands of raceEoers present. He had worked exceptionally fast for the race and MT. Odom announced pub Hcly before the race that he was good enough to win the race in a gallOp. AS a result almost every one at the track put a wager on him, and despite the fact that it was the colts first race in several months he was made the favorite and went to the post at even money.
 Veteran horsemen who had seen him work placed three times their usual wagers on him. To them he was the surest thing on the turf. His opponents were mediocre and they eX- pccted him to take the track at the start and lead from start to finish.
 Just before going to the post Odom decided to change jockeys. On We'd nesday he engaged Buddy" Ensor to ride but just before post time he replaced him with Fator. The sra1n- CT believed the cold would race bet ter for the little sl5.OOO jockey than he would for Ensor, and there is where the trainer made a fatal mis- take. The yOungster was not equal to the occasion. He was not strong enough to make the colt obey his commands and King Plaudit did eX- actly what he wanted to do. At the barrier King Plaudit was as fracti- ous as a green two year old, and af- ter busting through twice went be- hind the webbing and refused to get on a line with his opponents. Then when an assistant starter took a hold on him he lashed out with his hind feet and tried to cripple all of the other contestants.
 After causing a delay of several minutes Mars Cassidy finally got his head pointed up the track and on even terms with the remainder of the field and sprang the webbing. The entire field shot forward but after going ten yards King Plaudit prop ped, stuck his feet in the ground and refused to budge an inch further. He stood there motionless until his field were a quarter of a mile ahead of him. Then he decided to walk and at a suaiTs pace reached the signal man with the white flag.
 An assistant starter greeted him there with a big whip and he gave him a real good crack and the flag man struck him a blow with the flag stick. The blows frightened him and he started to race after his field. But by the time he got going at his best his opponents, led by Jock Scot, had passed the judges. Fator reaIiz- ed that it was useless to chase the field and pulled up his mount and cantered in while the remainder of the field were weighing out.

PENN ELEVEN
 LOOKS GOOD IN
 FAST PRACTICE

Philadelphia, Sept. 26.---Shadow scrimmaging between the Varsity and second team, followed by a short con- test between Varsity and scrubs, were the feature of the semi-windup of Penn's football practice for this week . prior to the opening engagement tor day against uBcknell. In the scrim- mage. Coaches FOlweN and Hollen- back put the Varsity on the attack with the plasy run off to a certain point, when all concerned were called to sudden halt. In this manner. the advisers were in a position to give criticism upon the position Of every man, either on the defense or the of fense. The system worked wonder fully well, as it developed who was who" in the various formations.
 Captain Slippery Bell directed the opuerations of the Varsity, with Deer, Light. and Brunner in support. The mbination could not have been i'm proved upon, unless Dan AdcNichOl had been in the backfieId for the de- livery of forward passes. McNichol is conceded by all those who attend the practices to be peerless in hurling the leather. His work in this respect has been nothing short of sensational not doing much yesterday, are aspir- ants for the aerial combinations. They are practically certain to force their way into the Varsity backfield as the season advances.

Harvard Scrubs
 Score on Varsity

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 26-Jim- my Knox and the other Harvard sec Ond team coaches were smiling at the end of yesterdays football practice jn the stadium, for the scrubs took their first shot at the varsity and scored a touchdown and goal. A field goal by Ralph Horween was the only scoring done by the regular men.
 Coach Fisher of the regulars scat tered his first string men and substi- tutees into the scrimmage, but there was a pretty fair array of varsity tall ent in the going when Eli Stllman. one of the scrub backs, broke through the varsity's right wing and ran sixty-five yards for a touchdown. Then the scrubs were given the ball on the varsity's 10 yard line and -dared" to score again. This they could not do on line plays, but Ben Hunneman, last years s. A. T. c. fullback, sent over a drop kick EoaI from the 22 yards line.
 Horween's goal for the varsity was made earlier in the scrimmage from about the 25 yard line. where the regulars had been stopped.
 Hamilton, one of the most promis- ing of Hhe halfbacks. smashed his nose in making tackle, and will be yNt a few days.

Army and Navy to
 Put Fast Elevens
 On Field This Year

New York, Sept. 26-As usual youngsters learning army methods at West Point are concentrating their physical efforts on football. The army will play ten games this year and will wind up the season with a renewal of that historical classic, the game with the Navy, which this year will be played at the Polo Grounds, November %. Many of the stars who made the Army famous before the war have gone to other fighting fields, but the new classes have sent q prospective lot of pugnacious grid iron warriors and the Army has high hopes of having a team of class to parade before the nOtables November 29.
 The Navy does not get into action until q week from Saturday. Gil Dobie has a host of promising candi dates for the team. There is one trouble that is bothering the Navy and that is the inability of obtaining opponents. The fixed rule that pre- vents the Navy eleven from leaving Annapolis more than once a year keeps many of the best teams off the Navy schedule. The more attractive elevens want a home and home agreement, and will not schedule a game otherwise.
 Rutgers, again guided by Foster Sanford, is going along on its usual quiet way and promising great things again. Rutgers will open with Ur- sinus. Rutgers will end its season with an intersectiona1 battle, meeting Northwestern University, of Evans ton. a member of the Western Confer ence, at Harrison. Nov. 22.

Cornell Varsity
 Pounded By Scrubs

Ithaca N. Y, Sept. 26.---The second
 Varsity, with the aid of several changes of backs, pounded the Cor nell Varsity line for three-quarters of an hour yesterday, but failed to score The early workout was held in the baseball mage, where the players were forced to go owing to showers. In the last few minutes a forward pass was intercepted by Half Back Davis of the first team and he raced 10 yards for a score.
 Paul Miller, Varsity guard of 1915 and 1916 will be out in togs with the opening of college . Another likely looking guard candidate reported yes terday. He is P. O. Hoag, a 1S5- pound member of the freshman crew last season. Minor injuries have forced the lay-Off of several of the Varsity backs for the past two days. but all the men are expected back in scrimmage before the end of the week

YALE GRIDIRON WARRIORS PLAY
 IN BOWL NOW

New Haven. Sept. 26-The Yale football squad moved it's training grounds yesterday to the Yale Bowl where a fine two hour workout was held. Coach Sharpe drilled them in the fundamentals, held a signal drill for a few minutes, then engaged the varsity and second and third elevens in scrimmages of ten minutes dura- tion and wound up the practice with some bunting and drop kicking. The varsity and second team lined up against each other for a ten minute scrimmage, after which the seconds were replaced by the third outfit. The second and third team wound up the days scrimmage period with tussle.
 La Roche. varsity quarter, exhibited some pretty football yesterday, both in the way he ran his team and in making gains. One, a ten yard dOdging run through centre for A touchdown and another for the dis tance around end, netted the second scoring. In bunting and drop kick ig there seemed to be no dearth of material. Aldrich and Lay seemed to have the edge on the punters. while in the drop kicking line Throne. Murphy and Jim Braden easily have the call.

TIGERS HAVE
 STIFF TEST

Princeton. N. J., Sept 26.---Football practice yesterday was marked by the first scrimmage of the season when Bill Roper selected two teams and sent them through a short workout. He had announced that no work of this nature would be attempted until next week, and his change of plans as evidenced yesterday came as a dis tinCt surprise.
 The early part of the afternoon was devoted to drilling the forwards. ends, and backs separately. Indications point to a heavy line, and every eff fort is being made to teach men how to start quickly. The tackles, guards and centres followed up the drill in falling on the ball by breaking through blocking, and starting.
 The large squad of et r was taken aside and drilled In talzil inter ference and in handlin. r yard passes Although he did not- b the scrimmage, Trimble, who -ed at halfback on the 1920 freshman = was on the throwing end of passes.
 No record of downs or gains wa kept in the crimmage. Lourie, who captured Exeter two years ago and came here as a quarterback, was at right half on Team A, and Jack Stru- fbing was quarterback on the 1920 team Garrity and eD Stefano, both of whom were on last seasons s. A. T. c. eleven, were at left half full back, respectively.
 Baker, another Exeter man, and Lamarche, member of the 1919 freshman eleven, took care of the wing positions. At the tackles were Mack McGraw. who had some experi- ( aIa sette, a member of the 1915 Varsity squad.
