by CROSS COUNTER.

recurrence Is noted of the historic
dispute as to the superiority OF the clev-
er boxer over the unscientihc, heavy
hitting type or vice versa. There ap-
pears to be a disposition to exalt de-
fensive skill at the expense of COM
bativeness and aggressiveness. Pugi-
listc history does not sustain that view
OF the case, and In no instance have the
defenders of purely scientific boxing
received more jarring setback than
that resultant from the Toledo battle.
The supporters OF Willard jubllantly
pointed out that his huge bulk, COM
bined with his defensive skill, would
form a barrier that Dempsey would
be utterly unable to overcome Accord
ing to thoso who believed Willard would
win, Dempsey was to be checked at the
outset by Wizards long left. and when
exhausted by his own futile efforts the
challenger was to be finished by the
champions destructive right uppercut.
On the contrary, Wizards defence,
which had baffied many other heavy
weights. crumbled under the savage on
slaught of Dempsey and laid the cham
pion open to the pile driving blows
which the present title holder Is capable
Of delivering.
But One Defensive Champion.
Looking back at the heavyweight
class it is seen that but one of the eight
men who have held the title under
Queensberry rules was strictly q defen-
sive boxer. John L. Sullivan was pure
ly a rusher with q limited knowledge
OF boxing science.
Corbett was the cleverest defensive
boxer in tho history of the heavy
weight class
Fitzsimmons depended on his hitting,
and SO did Jeffries. Tommy Burns was
a moderately good boxer and a fairly
hard puncher.
Jack johnson was a good boxer and
a hard hitter. and Willard was neither
a clever boxer nor hard hitter.
Dempsey Is the hardest hitter in the
history of the class, and has q fair
knowledge OF defensive tactics.
Corbett, with superior defensive skill.
baffled Peter jackson. a great hitter and
good boxer, and humbled Sullivan. but
was overcome by Jeffries ana Fitz.
Stepping outside the championship d.
vision we ind that Kid Mccoy, a very
clever boxer, was mastered by Tom
Sha"hNv, strong, combative but un-
scienced.
Peter Maher. hard hitter and fair
boxer demolished Steve O'Donnell, a
defensive boxer with n skill equalling
| that OF Corbett. Maher also over
whelmed Choynski. clever boxer and ef-
| fective puncher.
In fact ring records demonstrate that
| the heavy hitter has been the dominat-
ing force In pugillsm and that the boxer
who depended solely>on defensive tactics
has not been a glittering success II is
| the man with the punch who has bat
tered his way to championships. and II

Britton and Jack Dempsey. present title
holders. he held the key to success.
But the fighter who has depended
solely on the punch. as we'll as the
boxer who has relied on his defensive
skill, has not long survived the strain
Of battle
Lavigne, Wolgast. Nelson and Meow
ern are examples of the fighter who
threw defence to the winds and took
three blows in order to land one.
Corbett Erne and Welsh are the type
who found that something besides parry
ing and sldestepping was required in
the defence OF a title.
Young Critic. who retained his won
derful defensive skill up to q time at
which an athletes physical powers be-
gin to wane. was an exception to the
rule.
The first time that an offer was made
to take moving pictures OF boxing
match the proposition was CURLY re-
Jected. The Corbett-Jackson match was
the subject of the proposal. a kineto-
scope firm offering the boxers $4,000
for the privilege OF exclusively taking
the pictures However, 1t vas stipu.
lated that the men should battle in a
ten foot ring and that the fight should
be In private.
Corbett, who had the quickest feet of
any boxer In the game, was duly horri-
fed at the suggestion of combining his
efforts to a ten foot ring. and he
promptly refused to do so for any
amount OF money. Peter Jackson was
not averse to accepting the proposal, but
Corbett blocked the scheme.
The first moving pictures OF an athlete
in action were those of sandow. the
strong man, going through a weight
lifting performance. and the first pic
lures Of heavyweight championship
battle were those of the Cogbett- Fitz-
simmons contest at Carson. While
these pictures were imperfect they gave
fairly good idea Of the battle.
When the films were shown In this
city. Fitz. the new champion. was among
those who viewed them at a private
showing. As the fight neared the end
and showed that Fitzsimmons was win.

from his seat and shouted: "See me

It is possible that the army will fur

Many try by similar reasoning to
find justification for our educational
system in our successful conduct Of
the war.
But the bitter fact is that our ed
ucationaI system from the primary
grades through the university has
never been within hailing distance of
democracy. During the first half Of
the last century, when need was felt
for a model Of an educational system
we sent educators TO Germany of all
places for that model.
And while we avoided the German
caste division, we adopted and have
developed the Prussian type of auto
cratic school administration. The
