Special Attention viii ee
Given To Developing
Worthy Linemen

Preliminary football practice for
the Third CORPS Area eleven IL
booked for tomorrow at Camp
meade under Captain Vernon L.
Prltchard, head coach, and Major
william l.. Culberson, athletic
director Of the area.
Special attention is being paid
to the acquisition of line men. The
Army line was the weakest part
OF the eleven last year, but men
are being brought here to bolster
the forward defense Of the team and
a well-balanced squad should be
developed.
-Four high-c1ass line men and a
fast backfield man have been
ordered to report to the. training
camp at Meade September 1, it was
announced today by Major Culber.
son. All are former Army players,
the. forwards being graduates of
West Point.
The Third Corps Area sustained
a severe loss when Franz Won
Schilling left the squad after last
season. But two new tackles have
been secured to replace him,
Lieutenant B. H. Tormey, tackle
on the 1921 Military Academy team,
has been ordered here from Fort
Ethan Allen, Vermont.
Second Lieutenant J. G.. Glasgow
is probably the NEST valuable addi-
ton Of the two tackles. Glasgow
was a regular on last years West
Point eleven. He was alternated at
tackle and end and is a good
player for either position.
The new guards. are Lieutenant
Gustave II. Vogle and Lieutenant
Blacksher NJ. Bryan. Vogle is one
OF the youngest players to make
West Point team. He gained
berth on the eleven at the age of
eighteen and played for three years,
1919-1921. Vogle has been PLAYING
with the Ninth Corps Area team
on the Pacific Coast for the past
three seasons.
Bryan was guard on the 1921
Military Academy eleven. He has
been playing on the second division
team in the Eighth Corps Area
since graduating from the Point.
Bryan is at Fort Sam Houston,
Texas, at present.
Sergeant William Harris, an en-.
listed man in the Second Corps
Area, is the new backfield man
secured by the Third Corps Area.
He is a halfback and a fast line
plunger. Harris has gained quite a
reputation. for his backfield work
around New York city with the
Second Corps Eridders.

like hot CAKES in New York.
Bill made one sterling prog
nostication. Dempsey will not be
champion much longer-not be-
cause he will be defeated, but be-
cause he will be too successful.
Jack is acquiring too much
money. 1t will dull his fighting
appetite and he has about fought
himself out of work, anyhow.
After he fights the winner of the
Firpo-Wills affair, who is he going
to take on that will draw proper
gate?" inquiries Bill.
HE will retire as the only un-
defeated champion-the greatest
of all time"
Speaking of Tunney, Bill says
he is one OF the finest men in the
ring, the handsomest, the best ed
ucated, and aside from Dempsey,
probably the greatest fighter. Bill
saw him rap over Spalia; beat him
with one punch, and carry him
along to give the customers a
show, until he decided to finish
him. He is enthusiastic about him.
Bill likes Tommy Gibbons per-
sonally; says he is a fine fellow and
good to his folks, but he rather
pooh-poohs Tommy's chances with
either Gene or Jack Renault-who
is also the goods, according to
Bill. In fact, Bill doubts if Tom
my would go the limit with either.

Later on, when the three-round
gag started here and GALL MEM
BERS OF THIS CLUB" was the
battle cry, Jimmy Kelly was al
ways on hand.
Still later, when the small pri-
vate clubs composed of members"
worked four-round fights, we al
ways met the genial Kelly and
listened to his dreams.
Then, when the local clubs be-
came holder and got away with
six-round bouts, he was never
missing. We met him at the New
Polo A. c., Tom O'Rourke's club,
at Bryant Hall in Sixth avenue,
the Long Acre Club, Billy Elmer's
club, Bill Browns club, the Fair
month Club and the Sharkey A. c.
Kelly then had Bert Reyes, the
dynamiting Zig h weig hit w n o
laughed himself out of whatever
chance he had at a title.
Kelly used to tell US what
Reyes would do to Bat Nelson if
he ever had the chance.
Years went by, and finally the
Walker law allowing fifteen
round contests to be fought in
New York State came along.
Kelly never missed a fight. He
was always on the lookout for a
champ.
Yesterday we met Mr.. Kelly on
Twenty-third street.
Mr.. Kelly has aged some. He
wears horn-rimmed cheaters now.
He has lost the curly black
hair he sported in the days Of
private fights, but his enthusiasm
is there as of yore.
"I've got a champ at last" said
Jimmy smiling: IT will have the
junior lightweight champ Tues
day morning, sure.
"My boy, Pepper Martin, fights
Kid Sullivan at the greensboro
Club Monday night, and if he
doesn't win I'll never look at an
other fight.
"He never was in better shape
and will win with X. o.

O'Rourke is said to have the back
ing Of an English syndicate that
has given him two years to pro.
duce British heavyweight who can
really fight. He has used up nearly
a year finding his men and develop
ing them through American methods
of training.
O'Rourke has found it difficult
to book his two crusaders for the
sort of work they need and their
infrequent ventures hardly paid ex-
penses. Not long since they entered
a tournament which featured some
well-known names. The contestants
agreed to proceed on the common
wealth plan, and when they settled
up each had only about $50 coming
to him.

There are few good young
heavyweights in England and the

good to be stacked up against be-
