rewards OF successful football
career than he could expect 20 be
successful IN any other line OF work
in which he might engage in a half
hearted manner. In other words, he
must be willing TO payftfc price.
Finally. to sum II all'up4n answer
to the question. why Mfr school
stars do not make good in|cbilege."
We may say that some never were
stars, while other real stars lose
their athletic ability before they get
TO college, either because they were
burned out" In high school by too
much work. or because they are Just
naturally athletic IN their teens and
"old" men in their twenties.
Girls and Dates
stiu other high school stars fail IN
college because the diversified life OF
college causes them 70 scatter their
attention and energies upon so many
and varied Interests.
Not the least or these varied inter
ests are girls and dates" As a
result the classroom and the football
field are equally neglected. ana the
erstwhile high school star becomes
a mediocre man on the last string OF
the squad ,}1ta
In brief. granting that the high
school starshas .the potentlalities
requisite FOR him. 20 make the var

attention ton two-part curriculum
OF studies and football season. II he
would continue his high school sue
cess in football on through his col

This cannot be taken as loss OF
interest in the prospective meeting
OF the two leaders OF the heavy
weight division. II Is the result OF
information from responsible sources
that the fight cannot be held unit
next summer and that increased
agitation would throw impediments
In the way.
Joe Beckett. England's Count OF
Ten" got back into the good grace'
OF the British fight fans when he
stopped Frank Moran. the ancient
Mary Ann. Regardless OF the fact
that Moran Is considered about a
sixth rater In the United States. the
British ringworms regard him as an
American fighter. and do Beckett
they give all the palms for beating
an American.
Beckett's next big fight will be with
Battling sikh. the heavyweight cham
pion OF Europe and the conqueror OF
Georges Carpenter Even though
Sikh IS rated in this country as an
accident Beckett will not be clneh
bet 20 win from the Senegalese fght-
er. Sikh can hit and Joe doesn't
Ike to be hit.
Should Beckett get away from the
Orthodox method OF hitting FOR the
Jaw, followed by all European box
ers, he ought 10 win from Sikh. Car
pentier tried TO knock out the Bat
tier with straight rights and left n
the jaw and all he got for his trou-

Reports from the other side quote
Sikh as having turned a new leaf up
on which absinthe and wine are not

might turn out 10 be a fair fighter.

Soccer II the main topic being dis
cussed in athletic circles at the du-
Pont High School. Although de-
feated IN It's first game by Friends
School, the dupont lads are work
ing earnestly and when next Tues
day rolls around. they will be In fine
condition. Coach Conoway has been
out every day with his squad OF SOC
Ger men.
dupont High School has launched
upon her third year in soccer and
promises 10 make this her most sue
cessful season. Although the num-
Der OF boys in the school Is small,
the squad this year has IS candi-
dates mostly from the two lower
classes which give promise OF sue
cessful teams for several years.
The greatest handicap at DUPONT
is the distance from school that so
many OF the students live. Despite
this fact, however. each evening
there Is a full attendance for prac-
tice.
At practice each boy Is drilled IN
the fundamentals OF the position for
which he Is trying and several noon
hours each day blackboard talks IL
Illustrating a system OF team play are
mapped out. Each position is in
structed as to its particular duties
on defense and Offense.
From last years team FIVE regu-
lars remain. Beatty at right full
back. Angelo AZ left full back, Tay-
lor at center half back. Fulmer. CEN
ter forward and william Betty at in
side right. For the other forward
positions the following men are com
peting. Roser. A. Ruggerio, W. Rug
gerfo, Ralph Betty Alva King, Straz-
zella, Hughes, Cunningham, Keat-
ing. Layman and Covington. In the
back field are Nesbitt, George Betty,
Dobbs. Potts. Harding. Worrell and
Duncan. Strickland and wilkins are
taking care OF the goal tender posi-
ton with the former alternating at
half back.
Besides thu Thigh school there are
thirty boys in the grade school out
for practice two nights week. They
are being carefully instructed in the
fundamentals of the game and have
a fast team. It Is the purpose OF the
coach to have material coming up
each year from the grade to i'll in
the places left those that graduate.
DUPONT has played two games this
season. The first game was lost TO
the wilmington Friends 2 to 0. Both
wilmington points were gained from
penalty kicks. Almost throughout
the entire game dupont had the ball
in Friends territory but lacked the
punch to put It over. Friends was
unable to penetrate the dupont de-
fence effectively most OF the time.
Nesbit, the left half back OF dupont
guarded Coy. Friends fast outside
left,so closely that Friends was un-
able to begin any attack that could
carry the ball down for a shot at the
goal. on Tuesday, October 81, these
two teams clash again at Rockford
Tower and dupont is determined TO
win.
on Tuesday OF last week dupont
played Middletown High School on

NEW YORK, oct. 25-(Unlted

back" TO the point where he had be-
come a logical opponent for Jack
Dempsey in a little contest. was ex-
/ ploded by Miske's showing against
Tommy Gibbons. his fellow towns
men.
Mlske took such a beating and
was so clearly outpointed that the
decision which gave him a victory
on a questionable foul meant not a
thing to his credit.
When he met Dempsey several
years ago. Miske was not a well
man. lie was just recovering from
a long illness and he was in no con-
dition 10 take the punching that
Dempsey gave him.
He took things easy for a long time
before getting back into the ring and
when he did resume active opera
lions again he came so fast and look
ed so good that he was picked az a
choice over Brennan and the other
Dempsey victims for a chance at the
title.
Ever since Dempsey knocked out
Carpenter, It has been agreed that
Harry Wills. the huge colored fight
err was the only one in the class who
deserved a chance for the title. The
more the other contenders mix
around among themselves, the
stronger that conviction becomes
Tommy Gibbons Is a first class
light heavyweight. perhaps the best
in the American class, but he does
not size up as a At opponent for
Dempsey. He IS too small and the
handicap of overcoming twenty
