Notre Danes 1924 gridiron triumph
was celebrated by the local alumni
club of the South Bend institution at
banquet last night at the Hamilton
Hotel. Princeton's foot ball coach,
Bill Roper, was scheduled as the
guest of honor, but was unable to at
tend due to an attack of grippe he
contracted yesterday.
knute Rockne's style of coaching,
as we'll as the sportsmanship of the
Notre Dame players, were praised by
Capt. McEwan. foot ball mentor of
West Point, who named Walsh, the
South Bend center, as one of the
greatest athletes in foot ball history.
Capt. McEwan told of humorous
incident that occurred during the
Notre Dame-Army game. When the
South Bend eleven had the game put
away, Walsh is said to have told one
of the Army players that he would
have to pay the admission priCta of
a spectator If Ire did not wake up and
play foot ball.
Speeches We're made by Senator
Walsh of Massachusetts, Frederic
William Vile. president of the local
Notre Dame Alumni Club; Rev. Louis
NJ Kelley c. 5. c.; Representative
cholas j. Sinnott of Oregon, and
Huston Thompson of the Federal Re

The answer took some digging to
find. But here is the inside dope as
the writer gets it:
Dempsey is financially interested
in the Madison Square Garden fight
enterprises. OF course the parties
deeply interested are the Ringlings,
but while the Ringlings have lots of
money, they have many important
things to swing.
Garden Needs the Money.
Now the fight game has slumped
this year in New York, and what with
the immense overhead the Garden
has not been making millions for the
promoters.
More capital was needed. so runs
the story. and Dempsey had the
money and in he Went. 1t was he,
they say. who suggested the feather
weight carnival recently held, and il
was the first big paying attraction
the Garden has put on this year.
1t came at just the right time. But
more has to be done. The best bouts
of the season, the battles between
Gibbons and Norfolk. and Tiger
Flowers and Johnny Wilson, and vi
centini and O'Brien Will draw "A huge
crowd. but that money is going to
charity.
What is needed is humdiuger. a
full house at top prices, to round out
the season and make the Garden 5
financial ledger look like something
respectable
So the services Of Dempsey. the
capitalist, are needed to protect his
own investment, if nothing else. SO,
don't be surprised if the fight goes
through as announced by Rickard.
Gibbons Favored to Win.
As for Tuesday nights battle be-
tween Gibbons and Kid Norfolk. all
the chances are that Tommy viii cut
the negro TO ribbons. The tar baby
used TO be very good, but he has
seen his best day, and, besides. he has
right eye out of which he cannot
see.
So, il Gibbons does not paste the
Kid good and proper the writer, for
one, will be surprised
The Tiger F1owers-Johnny Wilson
bout looks like one of the best held
here in years. Flowers is figured by
most of the critics who know the
negro's work to beat the former mid
dleweight titleholder. but there are
other shrewd ones who cannot get
that long, snaky left of Wilson's out
of their minds-that left to the body.
II Tiger Flowers can stand hard
punishment to the body. he is the first
negro fighter who ever could. 1t will
