Lexington, Va, Oct. 10.-That a
powerful football defense u in the
making at Washington and Leo was
evinced here last Saturday in the
game with Randolph-M Macon college,
in which, at no time. were the Yell
low Jackets able to penetrate the
generals line for more than Eve
yards. AS a result OF the showing of
the team in this game, 1t Is generally
agreed by followers of the generals
that Coach Bill Raftery and his as
sistant, Ted Schultz, have emple
reason to be satisfied with the work
accomplished during the first two
weeks of training.
| Many minor defects were shown

game and these defects are being
smoothed out this week in prepare

PRAISE FOR BECKETT.
British Writer Halls Him as Great
Fighter.

Aside from his seventeen round
knockout OF Eddie McGoorty hit

Joe Beckett, the heavyweight cham
pion of England, who has been so
prominently mentioned as a likely
opponent for Jack Dempsey. Beck
ell Ia more or less OF a mystery and
while England halls him with great
gusto and heralds him as the COM
ing champion OF the world. the fact
that II took him seventeen rounds

prestige to his cause in this coun-
try. However, the following from
England will be interesting to the
boxing fans OF this country:
Blessed with tho face OF bull
and the mentality of matador,
Joseph Beckett, The present cham
pion of England, has come to The
front with rush. In 1916 he was
looked upon as recond-rate fighter
whose courage was more than under
suspicion; in 1919 he is hailed, and
Justly so, as the best heavyweight
fighter Great Britain has produced
since Mitchell. barring always, OF
course, old Bob Fitzsimmons. who,
!, like Tommy Burns, used TO change
his nationality with all the ease of
chameleon changing color.

lacks personality, which is usually
