Dempsey Expected to Visst
Europe For Fun and Business

all figured out that a certain amount
of business can be combined with an
awful lot of pleasure while in Europe.
Kearns arranged return match be-
tween Dempsey and Carpenter, to be
fought in Paris or London during the
coming spring or summer. But one
dark-skinned Sikh knocked them all
askeW.
Hasn't Lost Vision
But Kearns hasn't for a moment lost
the vision of Dempsey-Beckett
match in dear old London. He isn't
so certain that the American fight
public would stand for it, but his gal
lops around Great Britain have con-
WINGED him that they think mighty
well of dear Joseph there, and they
have a vague idea that Joseph is a
rough and tough citizen. So one of
Kearns' ideas involved in the trip is
to sic his noble gladiator on to the
pride of England-and gather in
$4,000 or 100000, or perhaps twice
that much, for exhibiting Dempsey in
ring costume for two or three rounds.
Beyond fighting there is likewise
the chance that Dempsey can add to
his bank roll through the medium of
music hall engagements and boxing
exhibitions against local prides. They
were mighty. wild to see the big boss
of heavyweights stripped for action
while he was in Europe on his last
visit. They got no such chance. But
Kearns now figures on giving them
the opportunity.
So, all things considered, it looks
as if Dempsey, plus Kearns, will be
headed in the general direction of Eu
rope late in January or early in Feb
ruary for the purpose of having some
fun and diversion there-and adding
anywhere from 100000 to 100000 tc

1t wouldn't be at all surprising il
Jack Dempsey leaped across to Europe
in February and browsed around in
those parts, together with Jack Kearns
for several months.
The king-pin fighter of the universe,
plus his manager, are due in New
York early in January. The announc-
ed idea of their coming is to close
matches for Dempsey, if possible,
against any Americans who want to
take him on within the next six
months.
But it would seem that the definite
program makes New York merely a
stop-over on the jaunt to Europe.
Dempsey and Kearns came back
from the old world early in the year,
bubbling over with enthusiasm con-
earning London, Paris and other Euro
pean spots which thu visited They
liked it immensely-and whole lot
more. They returned to the native
heath resolved to visit Europe again
at the earliest moment
Kearns' Hopes Smashed.
1t was the hope of kearns upon re-
turning to the United States that he
could make match for Dempsey with
Wills, Brennan, Gibbons, or someone
else in heavyweight circles. But
through the spring months and summer
months, also the months of autumn
these hopes have been dashed onto
terra firma-and no match has been
made.
Kearns has become pessimistic as
regards Dempsey getting a fight in the
United States within the next six OF
eight months. Therefore, there's no
real reason for their lingering on these
shores. So they are going along to
Europe and bask amid the smiles and
the plaudits of the folks who greeted
them so royalty.

Army Loses Valuable Man
In Major Daley as Coach

The Army loses the man who has
given it its greatest era in football By
the resignation of Major Charles D.
Daily as head coach.
The head coach has Just been re
lieved of that responsibility at his
own request He will remain on duty
at West Point, however, in the depart
ment of tactics.
DAILY became coach of the soldiers
in 1913, and served continuously until
this time, with the exception of two
years during the war During his
term he led the Army against the
Navy eight times, and saw his boys
win five of those eight games.
The last season was one of the best
the army team has ever enjoyed. The
II to IA victory over the Navy was
the browning event of the year. The
two ties played with Notre Dame and
Yale were two of the greatest games
of the year The West Pointers and
Notre Dame fought through -four
grueling periods without either goal
line being crossed or a field goal reg
istered. The Yale-Army game went
to to Z deadlock.
Captain John ]. McEwan, line coach
of the team for four years, succeeds

A general upset of the dope bucket
resulted from the games played IN
the Dennis Junior high gym Tuesday
night by members of Closed league
and Community service Teams that
have been travelling at steady pace
all through the season reviewed "a
set back from what were considered
the weaker teams of the league.
In the first fray of the evening, the
K. G. team trampled the Legion five
bya IA to 10 score. The Knights all
seemed to possess eyes for the basket
that Gould not be denied, and every
time one of the quintet got in shoot
ing range of the goal, the swish of the
net was heard for counter. The Lee
gion could not work together as has
been their usual feature.
In the second game, the Teachers
topped out in front by virtue OF their
win over the Glove team. This game
was featured by the uncanny shots OF
Harold Little, coach of the local high
squad, playing with the Teachers. He
set a new record for field goals in a
single game by teams of either league,
by connecting for II field markers,
besides playing a wonderful floor
game.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars were
the biggest sensation of the evening,
winning from the highly touted De
Molay performers by a 20 to II score.
Mckinney, back guarad for the former
team, played a wonderful game under
the basket, besides making four field
goals for his team. Summary:
