TECH SET FOR

The Technical High school basketball

it is scheduled to hook up with the

place. Franklin is regarded by local
dopesters as the most versatile aggre-
cation in Indiana and the result of the

where the Techites stand in the race for
the state title. On paper the Green and
White basketeers do not appear to have
a chance against the powerful Johnson

has been upset quite a few times this
year and followers of the east side in

that by a narrow margin to the Mar

Grifiths Says French
Champ Will Not Last
6 Rounds With Dempsey
BY JOHNNY GRIFFTTHS.
American MeIterweight.

LONDON, Jan. Georges Carpenter
won't last six rounds against Dempsey,
in my opinion. The Frenchman is a
good, snappy and snowy boxer, but not
the great fighter Dempsey is.
At the boxing Gay snow here I ap-
peared on the same bill with Carpenter
exhibition rounds. He is fast. There Is
no doubt about that. But the average
ring fan is likely to figure him faster
than he really is because of the spectacu-
in dancing around the ring.
Where speed counts l doubt il Carpen-
tier is any faster than Dempsey. Demp-
sey's blows are struck Just as swiftly.
Then, too, Carpenter is almost frail be
side Dempsey. He hasn't an outside
chance Of standing up against Dempsey S
blows: Nor viii he be able to dance
out Of the way Of them;
1t Is foolish to think Carpenter will
give Dempsey a hard fight because he
whipped Beckett so easily. Beckett was
tried to guard himself, but in a slow way,
from an opponent who was fast and had
everything that he himself did not pos
sess. Dempsey will go after Carpenter
from the gong and he simply outclasses
Georges both In physical strength and
fighting ability.
Carpenter never fought a man ap-
preaching the class. of Dempsey. He has
been defeated more than once by Amerl-
cans who couldn't have lasted a round
against Dempsey when they were in their
prime
1t will be a case of a great 1ghter-ten
times stronger and able to hit ten times
harder-outclasstng clever, fast, snowy
boxer.
To be perfectly safe, ! say the fight
won't go six rounds, but it wouldn't sur
prise me if Dempsey knocks Carpenter
out in two rounds.
Fact is. I'll be surprised If it doesn't
end that way.

Paris Again Denies

FRANCE IS ELIMINATED

PARIS, Jan. 9.-No offers for the
Dempsey Carpenter fight can be COR
sidered until February, when the option
which Charles B. Cochran has on the
Frenchman's services expires. This was
a part of the denial offered today BY
Manager DesChamps that he had ac-
cepted the terms of James w. Cofroth,
American promoter, to put the European
champion in the ring with Jack Dempsey
at Tiajuana for forty-dve rounds.
81 wish to lay stress on the statement
that l have never discussed this alleged
Coffroth offer, neither have given any
one cause to quote me as favor1ng the
supposed terms of that bid. The most
important reason Is that 1 have not re-
ceived directly or indirectly any offer
from Coffroth. 1 have just sent cable
grams to three different persons and
until they are answered there will be no
final decision on the fight" said Des-
Champs. However it is doubtful II
