Eastern High Hopes to Put

deavor to build up an athletic
standing on a par with the other
high schools Of the city. Congress
has appropriated money for the
erection of a new beautiful school
for the Light Blue and White. II
the building program is carried
through on schedule time. Eastern
will possess a school as large. II
not larger than Central. and 4 sta
dunn of greater size than that OF
the school in Mt. Pleasant This
means that before the 1922 athletic
season ends the Capitol Hill play

In former years Eastern has been

through no fault OF the school. 1t
was just the fact that few boys
capable of playing athletics went
to the school, whose largest enroll
ment has never reached the 500
mark. There have been many stars
representing the Light Blue and
White. but never enough of them
at any one time to scare the op-
position teams.

movement in the direction Of the
chalk marked field. In the South
Atlantic territory Coach Bryan
Morse. in charge of the destinies

ahead of his rivals. He expects to
gather his hOpefuls Saturday for

fact that 1t has been several years

quite a job on his hands.

Georgetown's opening practice

arrival in Washington of Albert
Exendine, who again expects to put

important battles on the George

from home and include games with
the Navy at Annapolis. Fordham at
New York. Georgia Tech at Atlanta

DEMPSEY HAS
BIG MARGIN
Champion Appears to Be at
His Superlative
Best.

Benton Harbor, Mich. Sept. A.
Unless all signs point away, Jack
Dempsey should defeat Billy Miske
in their Labor Day tussie-and do
ii in the usual Dempsey fashion.
If the st. Paul youth goes more
than five rounds, he'll be surprising
a flock of the talent around these
parts.
Dempsey right now appears to be
at his superlative best; Miske seems
a little stale. Dempsey has flashed
speed beyond anything Miske has
shown-and preponderance of speed
factors in Miske's favor. Dempsey
has shown boxing skill-on the few
occasions when he has wanted to-
that makes Miske look a bit slow
and awkward in comparison.
OF course, what Boys do in train
ing camps and what they do after
the bell sends them tearing away
at each other, is radically different.
But it's the conclusion that Miske.
during the conditioning process, has
exhibited aboht everything he has
and Dempsey, in his usual fashion.
has been holding something back;
the vital something that he Will
not call upon until he comes face
to face with his formidable foeman.
Dempsey Has Wnllop.
Where Dempsey has it on Miske
by a vast margin is in walloping
and the man with the wallop Is
going to win that fisticufting affair.
The champion during the past few
days has shown that he can punch
with all the old time bone crushing
power; that he can wallop with
amazing rapidity and unerring ac-
curacy. Whenever he has elected
to hit-the bulls eye has been
smashed. And, mind you, Dempsey
has been doing that with sparring
partners like Harry Greb ana
Marty Farrell-men infinitely faster
than Miske.
He'll have no need to drive
quickly to make hit against Miske
las he did against Greb and Farrell.
But the extra punching speed is an
asset because it will enable him to
drive through into every opening.
And Miske. cagey fighter though ne
is. splendid in defense, is going to
leave openings.
Whether he fights defensively or
comes out into the open. 1t looks as
if Miske is in for a beating. The
distance that he will travel de-
pends very largely upon how he
chooses to battle. II he wants to
do it, he will stay on his feet
whole lot longer than if he commit
ted the folly of fighting Dempsey
toe to toe.
