Robertson. as had a number OF
others who later played foot ball
at West Point, first sought to enter
the Naval Academy. His case did not
reach the point OF physical examina-
tion here, however, as it was found
that, notwithstanding his college
training, his work did not cover the
necessary ground for admission.
The case of Robertson calls to
mind other players who tried to
enter the Naval Academy. but later
became military cadets and played
effectively against the Midshipmen,
and still others who were considering
both Government schools, but finally
entered neither.
The most notable case is that of
Charley DAILY himself, recently the
head coach at West Point. DAILY, who
had been captain OF the Harvard
teams and an all-American player,
took competitive examination for
the Naval Academy, and stood two,
the first one entering the Naval
Academy and now being attached to
the Construction Corps. Daily passed
the age limit for the Naval Academy
and entered the Military Academy,
where 1t Is two years. higher.
Oliphant. the powerful, line break
ing back from Purdue, was anxious
to enter the Naval Academy, but
was above the limit He was even
more effective against the Navy than
was Daily, being the main factor in
three successive victories of the
Soldier team over the Sailors.
AS stated, Robertson's first choice
was the Navy, and it is understood
that Harry Wilson, Penn States
crack back of last year, who has
been appointed to the Military
Academy, had preferred to enter the
Navy. 1t also was stated that WEIGH
or Colgate, one of the strongest
guards or last year and a great place
kicker, wished to enter the Navy, but
was too old. and he is among those
reported as to enter West Point
There is. however. some question
as to whether Wilson will be of use
to the Army foot ball team this year.
He had bad attack of infammatory
rheumatism last Winter. spending a
long period in the hospital, and has
recuperated on a farm this Summer.
1t will be remembered that Wilson
ran around and through the Naval
team almost at will last year, scoring
three touchdowns. However he is
not particularly feared at the Naval
Academy. His performance in two
other games against the Navy were
not specially notable, and much doubt
Is felt as to whether he could ap-
proach his performance of 1923, par
| ticularly in view OF a possible lack
| Of physical fitness.

WEST COAST PRODIGY

Youthful prodigies seem to be in

Mclaughlin was pretty much of a

that Eleanor Garrati 16-year-old
swimmer, is a sensation in San Fran
cisco. Six weeks ago, unknown and
without previous experience, she ran
away from a bevy~ of the best girl
swimmers on the coast in a 50-yard
race; she negotiated the distance under
80 seconds, which is extraordinary time
under the circumstances.
All Miss Garrati knows about the
sport is self-acquired. She uses the
conventional racing stroke, having
copied the style from the star coast
swimmers. Tutors now have taken her
in hand and are endeavorng to give

Lefty" Kuhnert southpawed the
Shamrocks to a 4-to-2 victory over the
Arlingtons at Griffith Stadium yester-

game of the second half of the inde-

AS a result of their win the Sham
rocks will now meet the Dominican
Lyceums in series, the winner of
which will be recognized as the inde-
pendent champion.
Kuhnert's pitching and hitting were
entirely too much for the Virginia ag-
gregation- He allowed them but a pair
of hits, and contributed to his teams
success by polling out quartet of blows
in as many times up.
The Arlingtons were the first to score,
they reaching Kuhnert for a tally in
the first frame. The Shamrocks, how
ever, evened UP the count by register
ing single marker in the second
At the end of the third the Arlingtons
had showed another run across, while
the Shamrocks had pushed over three.
After that both Kuhnert and Laycock
settled down and pitched scoreless ball.

DEMPSEY IS LOOKING
TO BIG MONEY FIGHT
BY FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK, September 2o.-Jack
Dempsey is seriously intent upon get
ting into a big money battle next
summer. It's a cinch he will show
in 1925.
This year he had sufficient money
and bright enough prospects to make
ii unnecessary for him to undergo
the hard work OF training for fight
But now, when it seems clear that
while his movie venture will return
a profit it won't put him in class
with Valentino and Gloria Swanson,
the outlook has altered
In fact, no long lines have been
blocking the box Offices where Demp-
sey's new nose lis being shown even
granting he is not so raw at that
This being so, by next summer the
desire for big money will have been
honed 10 razor edge. Who will be
the unlucky opponent? No one knows
just now. But the writer is guessing
right here and now that it won't be
Wills. Wait and see If this isn't the
truth.
Anyway, no matter who Dempsey
finally elects to fight, he will have
to be prepared, will be foolish to go
into the ring with two years of in
activity back of him. All of which
is Is clear to Jack and his manager
as to any one else. So all the chances
are that Jack Will accept a compare
lively small sum for a winter indoor
fight somewhere in New York under
Richards management
New York is echoing with the gos-
sip that Gibbons will be the con-
tender, and he probably will be.
Rickard has a contract with him for
fight against an opponent to be
named. and Tommy himself is eager
for another crack at the champion.
In the meantime a Wills-Renault 20
seems to be cooking up. Talk is that
both men have already signed, but
that this fact is being kept secret
until the preliminaries can be bally-
hooed
