DEMPSEY RETIRES
EARLY; SHOWS NO
SIGNS OF NERVES
Champion Kept on Front
Porch by Rain-Visits
With Many Friends.

ATLANTIC CITY. y. J.. June 30.
Jack Dempsey. after a day OF loaf
ing and froliclcins around the house
that has been his home for eight
weeks. went TO bed at $3.50 Thursday
night with his mind as peaceful as
that Of a fve-y ear-old boy.
Friday the champion and his party

prize ring against Georges Carpen-
tier champion or Europe. The hour
Of the champions departure was "A

private residence in Jersey City
where Dempsey viii spend the night
before the battle had not even been
revealed 20 the champion.
"I have not told anybody" Jack
Kearns. manager Of Dempsey, said.
Jack does not know himself When
we arrive IN Jersey City Wei go di-
rectly 20 the house and stay there in
seclusion until it's time 10 go 20 the
arena. I want him 70 have absolute
rest the last "a hours"
While many persons have worked
themselves into a condition OF ex-
element over the coming contest,
Dempsey, whose championship IS at
stake. apparently was the least con-
cerned. Outwardly he was as happy
and frisky as a youngster as he sat
on the broad front Eorch Of his
house Thursday afternoon, cutting
Joe Benjamin, one Of the sparring
partners. around and joking with
close friends. Dressed in an old pair
Of trousers, a silk shirt and a tat
tered dark red sweater coat. Demp-
sey sat for hours IN a swing on the
porch. Someone had left some sheet
music on the porch and the cham
pion sang them any tune that
happened to strike his fancy. Once
ne clamped a deadlock, a punishinS
wrestling hold. on the unsuspecting
Benjamin. and squeezed until Ben
jamin yelled with pain.
The only time any mention OF the
fight was made was when a rain
soaked messenger came up on "A
wheel and yelled this at the cham
Zion:
How long are you going to let
Carp last. Jack ."
WATT for As hours more and I'll
tell YOU" the champion replied with
a grin. "IIl be an expert on tho
fight then myself See all these guys
sitting up here2 They think they
are experts"
Dempsey remained on the porch
not because he wanted 20, but be
cause of heavy thunderstorm
which lasted into the night.
Around 3 o'clock Dempsey's front
porch looked like a political cam
paign headquarters. A crowd of 100
or more admirers from Chicago
came out despite the heavy rain, for
a round OF handshaking.
All was hustle and hustle inside
the champions house from break
fast time until dark. Trunks were
packed for the departure tomorrow
and hundreds of kilograms arrived
CONCENTRATING messages OF good
luck DemIsey's three Belgian po-
lice dogs, which have been with him
during the training period. were
taken 10 Jersey City this morning
by Bernard Dempsey, the cham
pion's brother. who motored with
them in the champions Limousine.

Kearns is something Of q "hindoo'

Hand BandageS Important.
Descamps is particular because he

hardness Of Dempsey's bandages.
1t Will be remembered that VIII

Dempsey's trainer. used powdered
plaster Of paris or tinfoil between
the strips of adhesive tape that
bound Jacks bandages and that be-
cause of this Dempsey's blows in

marked his face after the battle.
DeForest denied there was anything
wrong with Dempsey's bandages ar

According TO the rules governinS
New Jersey boxing. Referee Harry
Ertle will have the right to INSPECT
the bandages of both boxers and the

When he rushed madly up and

he was accused of signaling every
play.
His Slogans.
One Of his famous slogans will go
down in football history-"Give me
10 men that can run interference and
I'll let a puppy dog carry the ball"
Another-"Your game is never
won by playing on your own side of
the line Of scrimmage."
Yost has never given his full time
to coaching before.
1t has been only in the fall that he
has talked, read, dreamed and slept
football.
The rest of the year he has fol-
lowed his power exploitation busi-
ness. near Nashville, Tenn.
Many hattering offers have come
10 him 10 go elsewhere and coach.
But he turned down all Of them. He
has made Michigan a gridiron power.
IL is his whole ambition TO make it
greater from year 10 year.
While he is a driver, he does not
go so far as to make his men dis
like him.
His men swear by him because he
is honest and fair-minded in all he
asks them to do.
His face is always bronzed from
the outdoors. An ever present smile
quickly wins men to him as friends.
Michigan needed a man TO take
full charge of athletics. There was
but one man in the world for the
job.
SO that's how and why Hurry

Athletic Director Fielding II. YOst.
Michigan has rewarded Yosts 90
years of service as football mentor
by making him dean Of all athletics.
Instead of stamping his Hurry
Up" on just the future elevens Of
Michigan he'll speed up all Ann Ar
Dor athletes.
1t was at Ann Arbor that the name
Of Hurry Up" was first tackled on 10

His efforts TO gain speed was the
cause of the coined name.
And Yost has brought something
like real genius to the men of Michi-
CAMS gridiron.
He came TO Ann Arbor in 1901 and
Immediately turned out the most re-
markable eleven ever to wear mole
skins.
His 1901 team played Il games

eleven. Ii rolled up Buffalo by the
unheard Of score of 125 TO 0.
From 1901 TO 1918. inclusive,
Yost:s elevens scored 4,704 points TO
