JACK DEMPSEY
HAS NO CHANCE
London Medical Expert Says
He Has Small Re
action Time"

London, Dec. 27.-The chances of
champion, to win in his proposed
fight with Georges Carpenter, the
famous Frenchman, will depend
more on Dempsey's reaction time"
than upon any superiority he may
possess in weight and muscular
power, according to a medical wri-
ter in the Evening News. In explain
ing what he means by reaction
time" the author says:
Briefly the reaction time of a
muscle, or set of muscles, is the
measurable period which elapses be-
tween the impulse to act and its
transformation into action.
Different Reaction.
Ihe differences in reaction time
are very great. A man with a big
reaction time cannot hope by prac-
tlce to become the equal in this re-
spect of another born with a small
reaction time. interviewer with
this is psychological reaction time
or quick and slow wittedness.
II he is symmetrically formed,
mas the average amount of courage,
sound heart and lungs, and has
mastered the art of boxing, a heavy
weisht of II stones, (16S pounds)
with small physical and psvcho-
logical reaction time has sufficient
muscular power to defeat a man
with fairly big reaction time
Whatever the latter's size and reach
may be. There is not a shadow of
doubt that Carpenter possesses an
apnormally small reaction time
physically and mentally"

TECH PLANS BIG
CAGE OPENING
Glenn Killinger Will Captain
Fast Team Against
Maroon ToSsers

On Wednesday night, December
81, Tech High basketball team, will
open the season, playing the Alumni
five. This annual battle has been
attracting much interest for several
seasons because it brings together
former Tech stars. This year Glenn
Killinger, who won much fame with
Tech, both in football and basket
ball, will captain the Alumni team.
The game will be played at Chest
nut Street Auditorium, starting at
SIS. After the contest there will be
an elaborate dance program with
the Myers orchestra play
ing. The dance will be continued
until the arrival of the New Year,

to 1920. Harrisburg college stu
dents home for the holidays will
join with Tech in making this a gala
occasion.
Daily Practice

inent this year with the Penn State

Huston, of Penn State; Bihl and Eb-
ner, of Bucknell; Sourbeer, of Penn
State: Pollock, of Gettysburg; Ed
die Harris and others who have
been prominent in Tech athletics.
Dave Mcconnell, who is Tech
alumnus, will referee the game, and

FAMOUS VCE FIVE OF PHILADELPHIA HERE TONIGHT DOWNS AL
TY COBB HOLDS
OLD-TINIE FORM
Figures Indicate That Hughie
Jennings Is Not Giving
Real Facts

New York, Dec. 27.-A recent re-
mark by Hughie Jennings. manager
of the Detroit Tigers, to the effect
that Ty Cobb bakebalrs greatest
star, has lost some of his speed. has
caused a lot of discussion around
the big league baseball train.
Cobb still is baseball's greatest
player" said Hughie, but l believe
he is beginning to slow up bit. L
think last season l began to notice
that Ty didn't make quite the bases
he used to-
Cobb's official batting average does
not indicate that he has gone back.
The mark of 1884 is his highest since
1918, when he hit $50. The consis-
tency of Cobb is remarkable When
one notes how his batting seldom
varies more than a few points
year He hit .SSS in 1917. .SS2 in
1918 and 1884 in 1919. In the three
years prior to that his average var
led only three points, He hit .S6S IN
1914, $40 in 1915 and .S7l in 19lo.
His Base Running
When one looks over Cobb's 1918
stolen base record, however, the
justification of Jennings remark
may be recognized. Cobb stole only
twenty eight bases last season, ms
lowest number since 1906, when ne
played regularly only part of the
season.
His steady decline in speed for the
last five years may be noted from
his stolen base record. While his
batting averages varied only few
points. his base stealing shrank from
9S bases in 1915 to 2S in 1919. The
down grade may be noted as follows;
1915, 9S; 1916, 6S; 1917, 90; 1918,
"a: 1919, 2S.
In the same time Cobb lost much
of his value as a run getter. In 1918
he scored 144 runs, n figure he hast
beaten only once in his career, IN
1911, when he hit .42O. In 1916 ne
scored 113 runs and in 1917 he car
Iied over 107. In 1918 he took part
in only Ill games and scored 50
runs. Last season in 124 games he
scored 92 runs
Cobb Still Young
Cobb still looks SO young and has
lost so little of his grace and dash
that few fans realize that he is the
oldest player in point of service in
the American League. OF the men
in active service in the major lea
CUES in the fall of 1905, when Cobb
broke in with the Tigers. only two
are left, and they are now in the
National League.
There two are Hal Chase, now with
the Giants and Leon Ames, then a
member of the Giants, but who fin
ished last season with the Phillies,
and, like Chase, is very near the end
of his big league rope.
There is no reason why Cobb
should not remain around for some
time to come. Pe was SO young
when he broke in-only eighteen
that to-day he is the same age as
old Babby Cravath when he "came
up with the Phillies in 1912. Cobb
was S3 on December 1S. He should
be quite a card at the age of forty |
years. !

Taxing Island Facilities
BIZ AssociatnA Press

New York, Zee. 27-Heavy immi-
grafton is SO taxing the facilities of
Ellis Island that officials expressed
doubt to-day whether there would be
another concentration of anarchists
there in the near future for deporta-
ton.
During the last 4S hours some
5000 immigrants have arrived in
port and to-day 1,168 were detained
at the island for further examina-
ton as to their fitness for admission
to this country. The personnel at
the island was not large enough to
handle any more, it was said Anar-
chists confined at Detroit, Hartford,
Conn, and other cities awaiting de-
portation will probably remain there
for some time, it was said. before
arrangements can be made for an
other Soviet Ark" There are only
about two dozen anarchists cases at
Ellis Island now.

PENN STATE CUTS
CARNEGIE TECH
Two Important Changes in
Schedule; to Play
Lafayette Five

State College, Pa, Dec. 27.-Sev-
eral radical changes were announc-
ed in the Penn State basketball
schedule here to-day by Graduate
Manager n. Nj. Fleming, caused by
unavoidable cancellation by Carne-
gle Tech of the two games sched-
uled with that team. Games with
Lafayette and the University of
West Virginia have been substituted
to fill out the schedule.
Carnegie Tech had originally been
scheduled for a game here on Feb
ruary Island one in Pittsburgh on
FEBRUARY %. However, the east
ern trip planned by Tech, and other
arrangements that could not be
avoided. made it necessary for the
Plaid to be away from home at the
time tSate was scheduled to play
there. and to appear on their own
moor the night they were scheduled
to play in State College.
TO Play Lafayette
Negotiations Were immediatelv
opened by State with Lafayette. West
virginia, w. and j. and several 9TH
efs. Lafayette was added to States
eastern trip, and she will be met
on February 5, at Easton. Swarth-
more and Penn are to be p1ayed on
the two succeeding days. West Vir
glnia will be met at Morgantown
on the evening of February 81, and
Pltt is scheduled for the following
DAY. Great interest is being mani,
tested in these games here. for
neither team has been met bv State
for some time.
Although they won their opening
game with Juniata by the one-sided
M n
mann's tossers will have to show
more speed and power than was dis
played in that game to make the
season success. State did not get
started properly until the second
half when luck was with them n
greater part of the time. The de-
ienslVe play was strong throughout. |
but poor passing and lack of team
work was evident.
