Inere mas Deen a persistent runor
that under the surface plans have
been going forward looking toward
a meeting between Dempsey and
Harry Wills. Talk of a Dempsey-Jack
johnson fight. of course. never was
anything but ridiculous, but IL some
day an announcement is made con-
corning a big outdoor show invoiv-
ing Dempsey and Wills, don't be sur
prised. This will come to pass. in all
probability. only if Jess Willard fails
to impress Rickard and other fighting
experts with his ability to get into
shape for Dempsey.
Problem for willard.
They say that the light course of
training in which willard has fol-
lowed for three months has done little
more than convince Jess Of the real
hardships lying in wait when he real
ly begins to train. OF course. Il they
would let him climb into the ring
after a period of not too arduous con-
ditioning effort Jess might feel that
the money would be worth the lick
ing he would get. But the trouble
with that idea is that Rickard won't
make a match unless he is convinced
that the Kansas giant can give the
fans a run for their money.
Wills is always in condition and eager
to fight. Dempsey is not afraid Of him.
In fact. when he was training for both
Willard and Carpenter he-or rather
Kearns-offered Wills big money to
serve as sparring partner.

All of this violates the letter. not to
say the spirit, of resolutions adopted
a year or two ago at the N. c. A: A.
conference in this city. The motive
for the stand of the collegiate body
was to avoid undue premium upon
foot baltimore or less Of a moral
gesture. Just how popular 1t is with
foot ball authorities of various col
leges and just how binding may be
gathered from perusal of plans every
where.
So far as morals are concerned,
the writer sees no objection to pre-
liminary practice of extended dura-
tiOn. A premium is placed upon ex-
cellence in the gridiron sport. and
this fact Is not to be covered or
waved away by a gesture. II the
agony Of winning or losing ever be-
comes less poignant; IL undergraduate
or alumni philosophy ever comes to q
point where defeat and victory on
the athletic field are regarded with
a due sense Of proportion as COM
pared with other university activities.
then such things as preliminary prac.
tice, top-heavy coaching STATS and
the like will adjust themselves.
At present we have to understand
that victory on the gridiron is regard
ed as highly essential everywhere.
This being so. those who hold a brief
for pure sport, amateur standards and
the like will find themselves better
