Billy Lush coaches the Navy in
has been very successful. From
Navy standpoint, his most important
successes have been the development
Of fives which won from the Army
In both games played so far. Lush
always has a fast team, playing u
splendid passing game and with a
thorough defensive system. Upon the
whole, his team of this year looks a
little better than the average.
As . rule, the Navy team has
appeared to be at its climax rather
early About mid-seasOn, officials
and other competent persons who
have seen the best college teams i'm
action, are inclined 20 rate the
Navy among the best.
II this course is followed, the Navy
would be able to give Pennsylvania a
real battle on Saturday. 1t has won
all nine of the games it has played so
far, though the opponents have not,
as o rule. been very strong. Lehigh
and Delaware, however. are included
In the list of defeated teams.
Lush always aims at a team Of
scorers, five men who can shoot
goals. Up to this time, he has not
been entirely successful with this
years five. Ault, center and captain,
and Mckee, right forward, can almost
always be counted upon to net a
bunch of goals from the floor, but the
work Of the other players has been
sporadic.
Parr, Lyon and Garrigues, who have
been working at the guards, have
shown occasional flashes of offensive
ability, but they have been rare.
Weakness in shooting has been the
deterrent, but there is reason to be-
lieve that this weakness may be over
come at any time. Hirst, Harris,
Barnes and Blue have all been tried
at left forward, but have not succeeded
IN adding greatly to the Nays score.
Hirst appears to have somewhat the
better chance of landing the position
permanently, but all are promising and
assure excellent substitutes in the for
ward positions.
The Navy team has another ele-
u,ent Of strength In the shooting
Of Mckee from the foul line. He
has succeeded in caging the ball
sixty-seven times In eighty.five
chances this year. record which
makes Il probable that the Navy
will add materially to It's score in
any game played. Mckee has also
improved steadily in his floor work
during the season.
While the Importance of the Penn.
sylvania game Is fully appreciated,
the game against the Army five re-
mains the great objective Of the
season. II will be played at West
Poin- on February rs, and will ex.
cite the intense rivalry character
istic of service contests along any
Line. The Navy has been victorious
IN both Of the games heretofore
played.
The Navy won by a fairly decisive
score last year, though the contest
wns close until near the end. I'm
provement on the part of the Army

fact that, though all of the old play

Exhuming him from a dusty
tome of puglistic history, we find
that he reared upwards, in his
stockings, seven feet three inches,
and in fighting condition he
weighed 333 pounds. He was not
fat. He was big. He was also
strong. He could juggle kitchen
stoves.
The history of Charles Freeman
is quite interesting. He came
along in a day when it was the
common belief of fistic followers
that any man who lugged more
than ITO pounds on him was pack
ing excess baggage. Nowadays,
after a long spell OF meaty White
Hopes, We are just getting back
to that belief.
NREEMAN was born in Michi-
gan, and they called him the
Michigan Giant. AS far as
can be learned he had not done
any fighting when he first showed
his amazing bulk into prominence.
Ben Caunt, the English cham
pion, was in America with a the
atrical company playing Life of
London" and had met with quite
q rousing reception wherever he
appeared. He was planning a
tour of the South when he was
invited to come to New York and
sign articles with Freeman. The
battle was to be for the champion
ship and $4,000.
Caunt was satisfied with one
view of Freeman.
"E's too bloomin' big" said the
Englishman. Let i'm ave the
championship. Hi won't fight i'm
for it."
THIS was back in 1s41.
Caunt himself was considered
pretty big with his 215 pounds,
but Freeman would have made two
of him.
Caunt was just a fair fighter, a
tough. rugged slugger, who had
whipped Nick Ward for the title
after losing to that same Nick on
foul three months before. Nick
was a brother Of Jem Ward, who
had once held the championship,
so the Wards are the only brothers
that ever owned the big title.
Caunt was apparently something
Of a. Snowman, and he induced
Freeman to return to England with
him. They got back in 1912, and
Caunt billed Charles as the cham
pion Of the world, and himself as
the champion of England.
Freeman was the first man that
had the gall to claim a champion
ship without ever having had q
professional fight. His size startled
the Britons. Caunt and the Michi-
gan giant toured the country, pack
inc 'em in wherever they went, and
getting plenty of publicity and
money.
nEFORE the advent of Free
II man. the prize attraction in
fistic circles in England had
been one William Perry, the re.
doubtable "Tipton Slasher." At the
age Of seventeen he had licked
some good men. and for five years
he had been turning them away
from the halls as the boy wonder.
William didn't have to fight to
make a fat living. The populace
took him for granted Then along

came the Michigan Giant, and Per-
RVS business was shot to pieces. He
challenged Freeman, and Freeman
accepted.
They fought in the winter of az
for a side best of $500. Caunt got
his giant ready, stripping fifty or
sixty pounds off Freeman's frame.
He sent him in against Perry in
good condition.
From the start Freeman was the
aggressor. He seems to have had
some natural fighting ability, at
that. Perry took to falling to the
ground every time Charles made a
swipe at him. A bunch Of handy
boys were collected around Perry's
corner with the idea Of roughing
Freeman up some if they got a good
chance.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1922-01-26

TITS success with Freeman prob
ably inspired Caunt to the de-
IA velopment of another American
fighter, and this time he picked q
negro from Baltimore, pugilistic for
bear, no doubt, of the great Cans and
Kid Norfolk. They both came from
Baltimore.
Caunt called this negro "The Black
Bill Perry" and in one fight, at least
Black william showed up well. He
defeated Bill Burton, a tough fellow
of the times.
Then, it appears, William fell upon
evil ways and days. He got mixed
in with gang Of counterfeiters who
were working on American money
and was exiled to Australia. He
served his time, then took up fight
ing again, and in 1S49 he won the
heavyweight championship of Aus.
tralia from one William Hough al
Sydney.

TEN CAUNT was born in March,
X 1915, and at twenty he fought
- his first fight with Bendigo,
then plain William Thompson, losing
on foul. Caunt whipped couple
of other chaps, then met Bendigo
again and won on foul.
Ben was just a mauling, hauling,
bulldozing type of fighter, as we
have said, but he deserves some per-
manent place in pugilistic history as
the man who made two attempts 10
pin the big fistic title ON Americans.

IN HEY fought seventy rounds
Freeman was in front all the

Freeman was in front all the
- way, and Perry was barely
able to amble out for the final round.
The referee saved him by calling the
fight on account of darkness. Our
fighters always did get nice square
deals over yonder.
The lads were supposed to get go
ing the next day to play off the tie,
but it was a couple of weeks later
before they finally met Perry again
began doing Leon Errols to save
himself from getting hit, the referee
disqualifying him in the thirty
seventh round. Freeman got a cou-
pie of good socks at William, how
ever, and made Bill pretty sick.
This fuss seems to have concluded
Freeman's ring career. He died OF
galloping consumption on October Is
iS45. He was only twenty-six. Caunt
also died of lung trouble, but sixteen
years later.
A month before the passing Of
Freeman, Caunt was beaten for his
title on a foul by Bendigo. 1t was
their third meeting. Bendigo is the
fighter who afterward became ar
evangelist.
