JACK ASSERTS RICHARD
MAY CLOSE WILLS BOUT

CHICAGO, July 81 CP).-With-
out waiting to appear before the
New York Athletic Commission to-
day to sign for a fight with Harry
Wills, Jack Dempsey arrived here
unexpectedly yesterday en- route
to Los Angeles.
He said that Tex Rickard had
been empowered to close the Wills
match today.
The reason for failing to wait
for the New York commissions
meeting, Dempsey said, was be-
cause he was anxious to meet
Jack Kearns, his depOsed manager,
to settle their differences and un-
tangle their numerous partner
ships. He held positively that he
and kearns had split, but that he
would live up to the financial end
of their contract until II expires
i'm September, 1926.
"If j fight, Kearns will get his
share of the purse" Dempsey
said. but I shall do the match
making"

AS for the boxing commissioners,
they have had their jolts, too. from
time TO time, but they go on just as
though nothing could deprive them of
their belief that professional pugilism
is sport and not business which
is t1lled with shady sgots.
One thing seems ce-tain-Dempsey
does not want to commit himself to
meeting Wills on any definite date.
One particular item in the arrange
ments as far as they had gone which
was known to irk Dempsey and his
friends was the fact that he would
have to ask Wills permission to in
dulge in Warming-up bouts before he
could sign to meet BARLEY Madden,
Gene Tunney or others.
1t would be surprising if he does
not so conduct his affairs that he can
fight whomever he jolly well pleases
and then take on Wills when it suits
him to do so.
The idea seems to he that he is
en- route West to arrange about
breaking partnership with Jack
kearns, but the chances are he is
going to grab Dapper Jack and tell
him for the love Of Mike TO go to
New York and straigtten out things.

Interested in this wholesale raid
upon the great South Bend outfit
Fred keuchle, the Milwaukee grid

tions:
First, he wants to know whether
successful coaches are produced by
sound training as players. or are they
endowed with qualities not found in
all. Are they turned out from the
varsity team as bookkeepers are turn
ed out at a business college. or are
great coaches born for their jobs?
Quite sagely, Kuechle answers all
but the last question negatively. Abil-

No. 1.-the Oyerarm Stroke.


The single or English overarm
stroke is a development of the side
stroke and you swim 1t just as you
do the plain sidestroke except that in
throwing your upper arm forward you
swing it above water instead of un-
derneath.
When swimming on your right side
bring your left arm forward. in its
turn, through the air, with your ell
bow held high and the hand. with
fingers dropping loosely. just feather
ing the surface of the water. Your
arm should swing to Il point just be-
yond your head and then cut into the
water like a knife, fingers first and
arm following. Do not slap the hand
into the water or you will make an
awkward splash and lose power. The
whole arm should enter the water
through a little hole cut by your
hand. as a knife would go in point
foremost.
There is another forearm. a favo-
rite with boys, which is swum with a
breast stroke kick and the head above
water. The arms swing forward
above water alternately and sweep
back toward the hips like an oar.

AS officially summarized the recon-

Remove limitation on number of

Legislation should be enacted
which will permit duty involving fly
ing at an active naval air station to
count as sea duty for promotion pur-

That the number Of midshipmen
