DEPAUW SLIPS ONE
OYER ON EM-ROES

GREENCAsTLE, Ind. Jan, 1.-THE
fighting DePauw Tigers turned big
trick In their favor last might when
they walloped the Indianapolis EN- Roes'
81 TO %. This is the third time in the
history of the Indianapolis combination
that they have been defeated by an elev-
en-point margin. They have never been
defeated by a larger score
The fray opened with three minutes Of
play featured by the lightning like
guarding of both teams. DePauw counted
first when Curtis dropped one in from
under the basket Five minutes later
the EN- Roes scored their first points.
Behrent hitting the basket first, closely
llowed by Schoeneman and Smith
Klein scored a few seconds later and
Coach Buss jerked Miller, guard, to send
in Gipson. The fashy work of this
man was too much for the capital city
scorers. The second period opened with
the college boys leading. II to II, and,
although the famous Green and White
warriors played wonderful basketball,
they were never within reach of the
lead in this half. Cannon and Carlisle
we're the stars of the game. The for
mer scored fourteen points for DePauw
and the latter ten.

Los ANGELES, Jan. 14.-Jsck Demp-
sey, worlds heavyweight champion, to
day answered the action and charges in
stituted by number of American legion
posts which termed him Stacker during
the war. In a formal statement issued
through his manager, Jack Kearns
Dempsey denies any lack of patriotism
or unwillingness to have served during
the war.
Asked what he would do now that
New Jersey bad barred his appearance
there in a championship fight with Car

There are lots of other places more
suitable to such bout than New Jersey.
any way, We are not letting that worry
us at all" Kearns' statement follows:
Jack Dempsey was not draft dodger
during The war. Any one who makes
such charge can not support it with
facts.
WILL LET PUBLIC

Just because some persons-prompte
undoubtedly by selfish motives-are at
tempting to smear Dempsey's repute ton
with the mud of Stacker I feel called
upon to give the public a true explana
,ion OF the situation and let the public
be the judge.
When the draft call came in 1917.
Jack Dempsey was placed in class A.
Ihts was because he was a married man
and in addition was supporting a mother.
an invalid brother and a sister. Dempsey

tionnaire.
Some time later the draft board. re
adjusting the classification, placed
Dempsey in Glass Al, but almost i'm
mediately afterwar6 put him in Class
z B. He remained there during the rest
OF the war, and was subject any day to
call for war duty. If the conflict had
lasted few weeks longer it seems a
certainly that Dempsey would have been
in the uniformed service.

Dempsey was employed rs a riveter and
