 In last Saturdays game with Iry Conference Academy, he was rcspoI- siblc to large degree for the fight ing spirit of the men and for the es cellont game displayed by the loca High school team.
 Every effort will be made by tn athletic authorities and fellow stu dents of the popular football player 10 make him eligible for the imr portant games of the season. His friends will work with him in the subjects in which he IS not so pro- ficiont and 1t may be that if he shows proper cooperation, that he will be able to recuperate the ground he has lost and again take his right full place in the lineup.
 This is the second hard blow that the New Britain High school foot ball team has received in a very few weeks. The first was the loss to the squad of Boinowski, powerful tackle. who reached the age limit of 21 dur ing the past week and thereby be- came ineligible for the team. Now comes the loss of Stromqust and the resultant weakening of the team, Both of these places. tackle and fullback. will be hard to fill as cap ably as inc two men who have held the positions down.

DEMPSEY PRESENTS l FADED APPEARANCE.

Dcmpseys wind was bad He hadn't gone through four of the brief rounds before he was pulling beautifully in all the better known octavcs. This didn't mean anything. Roadwork and training will over come it. And besides he has no im- mediate battle m view,
 But Dempsey did look thin and drawn. That is not easy to nndor- stand. He has not been working hard enough to shake his frame of all surplus flesh. He is undcrweight and for other reasons. Maybe inc trouble with Jack K"arns. his man ager. and tho proiractca ncgotia- lions with Wills have brought him down.
 Dempsey said he weighed about 195 pounds. Dempsey was not tell ing the truth. If he weighed 1S5 pounds he was heavier than he looked. Johnny KiIhanc, cX-fcathcr- weight champion. thought inc fig uro was closer 10 1S0 pounds. kil- hane agreed the champion looked faded"
 Dempsey is transforming. Any enterprising municipality desiring the presence of inc Manassa Maul- CT, as he is still humorously styled, can get him by laying S5.0oO on the line. Dempsey will put on six one minute rounds. boxing two against "homc boy" and four against his own sparring partners.

 Dempsey can no more improve his condition working with these fat dowagers than a fish can quick en ifs swimming stride on a sheet | of tangle-foot.
 Dempsey probably isn't particu, larly interested in improving his condition. He told Kilhane he was transforming because he needed the adN ertising." The significance ol this is that Dempsey has film ir cold storage and a sustained bally' hoot is necessary to successful pro- motion.
