Earlham made easy work OF the
Indiana Dental college aggregation
Friday night on the Coliseum floor.
The score was 81 to IS.
The Dents were unable to measure
up with the superior brand of basket
ball shown by the Earlhamites. Coach
Move boasts of a ten man team and
proved it by putting in all his second
string men in the second half, giving
the Dentals the hottest run for their
money.
From start to finish the game was
uneven and at no time did the Den
tails have a chance of putting over
different result as Moves husktes can
handle either offensive or defensive
PLAYS. The Dents fought hard but
lacked the training and coaching tnat
would put them in the Quaker basket
ball five's class.
Hall. LAWYER, Carey, Pitts and john
son started the game for Earlham.
Lawler annexed the first score free
throw. Soon afterward Carey shot
the leather through and then the
Dents made a free throw. The Earl
ham scoring machine was started and
when the dust blew away at the end
of the first half the score stood 20
to 9.

Fight fans all over our fair land are
already picking the winner OF the Jess
Willard-Jack Dempsey battle for the
heavyweight title, to be staged next
July.
In many instances, however, the
fan picks Willard to win simply be-
cause of his great size, because ne IS
"a wise old bird or because ne
wouldn't take chance If he tnousht
Dempsey could lick him.
Likewise many fans who are bank
ing on Dempsey have chosen MIN 10
win simply because he's been knock
ing 'em all down, because "he is young
and full Of pep or because the Dig
guy has held the title long enough.
LAYING aside ones personal opinion
and desire in the matter, each one OF
the fighters has some advantages over
the other which are not open TO dis
pute.
vor:
He is taller.
He is the heavier.
He has a greater reach.
| He has had at least one long, Cruel
ing battle.
He has the psychological advantage

Of being champion.
Dempsey's recent victories-most
| of them decisive ones-cannot be USED
as a basis for belief that he can lick
Willard. The public does not know
what short work Jess would make OF
the same field. But the public mas
had a chance to observe several points
about Dempsey that can be reckoned
with in doping out his chances against
Willard.
Dempsey has these elements in his
| favor:
He is younger.
He is more aggressive than Willard
He is game to the core.
He has confidence.
He is clever at nfishtng-Wi''ard's
weak spot.
Personally believe that Dempsey
possibility of success lies in his IN
fighting ability. If he stays away
from Jess and tries to outlook the

vantage. He will throw his left at
