fy them much the same as the Penn
teams are listed, and then spend the
evening in watching the various
Glasses strive for honors.
There will be plenty of events for
open and handicap competition. In
addition 1t Is expected that the usual
number of schoolboy events will be
staged.
Later on the Hopkins men promise

this year, is expected to eclipse any
thing yet held in Baltimore. Accord
ing to plans all Of the colleges In the
South Atlantic section will send
teams. Practically all of the big

sentatives so that the meet Is plan
ned as the biggest thing ever held IN

DEMPSEY MAY PROFIT BY
HIS RECENT POOR WORK

Some of the boxing sharps are now
saying that one reason that Dempsey
did not make n more impressive show
ing against Brennan in their recent
bout was because Jack was not
under the discipline OF an experienced
trainer.
Dempsey did his own training in
his own way and took no suggestions
from anybody. ....

take advice from any one. Dempsey
at that time was under Jimmy De
Forrest, who carefully planned his

NO-DECISION CONTESTS
WERE BAD FOR HERMAN

No-decision bouts OF limited dura-
ton proved the undoing Of Champion
Pete Herman. The former bantam
weight AlNeholder has taken part In
so many bouts where he played safe
and refused to take any chance what
ever, that he became stified and re-
strained In action, and when he tried
TO fight found.sut that he couldn't.
Defensive boxing was all that was
necessary under the no-decision re-
gime OF the sport, and most of the
boxers, including the champions, tried
little more than defensive tactics.
Herman acted just as II he was taxi
ing part in a no-decision bout; as IL
nothing was at stake. That he would
follow this kind OF campaign, IL he
could fight any other way, is not like
ly. Sailing defensive tactics proved
to be the only boxing weapons that
Herman possessed.
The new titleholder, Joe Lynch, is
not that kind OF boxer, and although
not an accomplished mitt performer,
he will lend much more action and in
terest to the bantamweight class than
Herman ever could.
