is going to do a deal of travelling with
his men this year, The Marylanders
go to New Brunswick, N. j., for a
game, with Rutgers, then up to
/; Princeton for another game. Then
they have to hike away up in New
York to Syracuse for still another
contest.
HOPS INTO SOUTH.
After these games in the northern
direction are taken the Marylanders
hop the rattlers for Blacksburg, Va,
which is away out at the end of the
Old Dominion State and up through
the mountains to meet V. P. l. AND
Virginia Is a long. long State to cross
istarting from Washington.
! As IL this were not enough the
iMarylanders have to hike on still
another saturday away down TO
Chapel Hill, North Carolina The
University of North Carolina is play
ed there.
In other words the Marylanders
will take something like 10000 OF

men will be transported. That's 60

New York for a game with Ford

time to Boston to play the Boston
College team.
GOES TO WEST VIRGINIA.
George Washington has to go out
into West Virginia twice. once to
Morgantown and another time to
Buckhannon. Then again the Hatch
cities take . trip to Fordham in New
York. All of these trips, meaning 20
per cent additional expenditure, will
put a crimp in the guarantees given
by the colleges the local men visit.

round match ito decide the champion

the opinion of hometown critic.
Edward q. Walker, sports editor OF
the Minneapolis Journal. believes
Miskie is far from beng the same bat
tier who opposed the present title
holder twice before and that "the tap
of the gong for the sixth round would
find Dempsey a winner"
Miske lives in Minneapolis and St.
Paul, where he once was conceded to
be one of the leading light heavy
Bill was forced into a sick bed. Att
er being out of the game for twelve
months because of his illness. at
which time IL WAS said that Miske
would never be able to box again, he
decided to get into action once more
and meet Jack Moran. third-rater
from st. Louis, and it is on his show
ing in this bout that Dempsey's op-
ponent for Labor Day is being figured
as a "set up" or something like that.
Here's Mr.. Walkers version Of the
probable result of Miske's match with
Dempsey:
BILLY Miske today is a far different
boxer than the one who twice faced
Jack Dempsey. Miske will hardly
last more than Ave rounds against
the titleholder. IL his showing recent
Iy against Jack Moran, a third-ratcr,
can be taken as q criterion.
Reports in 1919 were that Niske
would be kept out of the rriNs, w}th 8
slight touch of kidney trotb3@. kfter

he returned. but failed to fmpressr
''He is bigger. heavier and }belter
looking externally than in the olden
days, but the old snap and ability to
60 the route seem to be lacking.
''Miske, who is a game and likeable
fellow, is taking the match to grab
off the reported $4,000. He himself
thinks that he will give the cham
pion a good battle. He may give
Dempsey trouble, but. IL our guess is
right, he will weaken early in the
battle and the tap of the going for
the sixth round should find Dempsey
the winner"
Jack Reddy. Miskes manager, says
he thinks Billy just as good as ever
and would not send his man against
Dempsey unless he thought that he
had a chance. --
