the title by the retirement of
Dempsey.
Dempsey now sees an oppor-
tunity for a return match with
Senior Firpo and an easy million.
The strange part of it is that he
will find some boxing commission
not only willing but anxious to be
a party to the fraud, also a hum
dred thousand customers willing
to contribute.
"A Dempsey-Firpo bout will be
an easy evasion for the various
boxing commissions. There seems
to be an unwritten law which pre-
vents the holdin~ of a mixed bout
for the heavyweight championship.
The New York State boxing COM
mission denies this, but you will
notice that the boxing commission
does not threaten to declare
Dempsey rull and void if he does
not fight Wills in New York.
Il am not taking the stump for
the downtrodden Senegambians-
if there is any treading on the
Senegambians in this vicinity,
which is not apparent. I do not
think that Wills is any more de-
serving of sympathy than Demp-
sey. When there was real fight
ing to be done Dempsey took to
shipbuilding, while Wills became
very earnest stevedore.
"But why all the hypocrisy?
Why cannot the boxing commits
sions come out and say that they
do not care to see a mixed bout
for the heavyweight champioR4
ship?"

at is announced that Mr.. Jack
Dempsey is greatly reJoiced to
hear that Senior Luis Angel Firpo
will return to the country. Mr..
Dempsey thinks that he would be
ready to meet Senior Firpo about
"This rather indicates that Mr..
Dempsey is now willing to admit
that the articles signed binding
him to meet Harry Wills were
drawn up in a spirit of levity in
keeping with the general tone of
Niles, Mich, where they were
signed. Mr.. Dempsey was merely
having his little joke on the vari-
Gus boxing commissions.
"Of course Wills does not de-
serve, any particular sympathy. He
is the least downtrodden of the
Senegambians. and it looked very
much as though he was helping
Mr.. Dempsey's little game when
he signed the humorous articles.

to which he was a party.

White VS.. Red

"HE age-old fight for world
supremacy has left the white
race on top and the reason,
strangely enough, comes out in
Glenn Warmers explanation for
the greatness of Nevers, of Stan
ford University. 1t is cold history
speaking piece all over again.
Warner, now at Leland Stan
ford, developed Jim Thorpe at Car
Isle. He taught him all the foot
ball he knew, watched him in his
greatest games. He is entitled to
speak as follows:
II doubt if a better player ever
lived than Thorpe. The Indian
could do everything. On mechan-
ical ability Nevers, who finished
his career at Stanford this year,
was Thorpe's equal. He, too, could
do everything. But there is a diff:
ference. Thorpe had one fault.
He had the Indian characteristic
of taking things for granted. He
was careless. He played football
for sheer fun, and he did not
always give his best. Nevers
always gave all he had. For that
reason alone / think Nevers was
the greatest"
There is something in that
"white mans burden" theory.
Only a white man can under
stand it.

Intersectional football games,'
unless they entail too much trav-
cling, are good things. 1t is well
for lads of this section, for in
stance, to measure their skill and
knowledge with that of lads from
a distance. Sometimes one is led
to believe that if all the world
knows each other, there would be
little fighting. Usually we dislike
the MAJ we don't know and make
allowances for the faults of those
w" know.
1t is to be hoped that Gonzaga
wins today. But If st. James wins
and the game is hard-fought and
cleanly fought, that will be
enough. The world viii not stop
rolling around just because some
football team has. lost a game, nor
will it leap with joy because an
other has won.
