DEMPSEY RICHEST
OF RING CHAMPIONS

BY the Associated Press.
Jack Dempsey, assured the stag
gering sum of more than 100000 for
engaging Gene Tunney tonight, is the
richest of all boxers.
The title-holder already has earned
more than $1.000.000 with his gloved
fists, but mismanagement of enter
priseS in which he was interested cut
deeply into his fortune. No matter
if he loses his entire pile of money
and holdings. he says he never VIII
be an object of benefit.
This is because he has $2OO,00O
trust fund out of which he will re-
ceive 81 900 a month as long as he
lives, No matter what happens. the
champion cannot touch the $20O.OO0.
Dempsey is under tremendous eX-
pense 1t cost him around $4,000 to
live last year. This included. an
amount used to offset the deficit In
operating his hotel at Los Angeles.
Also the expense of maintaining
homes for his mother and father.
The "Mannassa Mauler" since
knocking Jess Willard over and win
ming the title in Toledo, O.. July a,
1919, had engaged in Ave contests pre-
vious to tonight, including the VIII
lard fight, Dempsey has fought only
40 rounds and has earned S1,lO4.OOO,
an average of $27 900 per round. or
50 200 for every minute in the ring.

In the one we find the coaches COM
mitted to the early installation of a
ramified and deceptive attack; in the
other the governing plan calls for
a slow and painstaking development
of the negative side of the game be-
fore the offense is carried beyond a
few simple forward passes and run
ming plays.
Difference i'm Schedules.
This variation occurs not at all be-
because of sheer necessity. With i'm
portant games-games that may mean
championships falling as early as mid
October-the offense has to be stressed
and hurried, the defense attended to
at odd times, and even at that dis
counted in certain quarters on the
ground that the best defense>is fine
offense.
So it usually is against inferior
elevens, but often enough when OPP.
ponents of equal rating are encoun'
tered the unsoundness of the theory
is demonstrated and games work out
not on the basis of evenly balanced
attack and defense but which team
can make the most capital out of de-
| fective opposition in four periods OF
play.
There are teams, of course. that
manage to work up an early season
attack which is dazzling as 1t is SOUND
and at the same time display eXcep
tionally ability in checkmating riva
assaults. When Knute Rockne has q
good Notre Dame elemen, as he has
more often than not, the Hoosiers
show a fine balance.

Michigan Has Both.
Michigan, OF all the Western con-

powered attack. This. chiefly, be
cause Fielding Yost is the product

others who have the ability to give
their teams a devious October attack
and still are able to apply a defense
suited to needs, have the right idea
and that others of both extremes are
all wrong.

Of attack until defense wholly cop

strong and intelligent, has been de-
veloped and team that either counts
upon proving that the best defense
Is brilliant attack or else has worked
up a defense which, while subordi.
mated to the positive branch of the
game, is not unsound.
What the outcome would be the
writer has not the slightest idea. But
from purely scientific standpoint
the issue would afford fascinating
study as we'll as throw valuable light
upon a phase of foot ball which is
clouded with misunderstan nding and
prejudice.
Defense Not Appreciated.
One thing is certain and that is the
defensive side of foot ball as def
mite, organic element of the game Is
too little appreciated almost every
where.
Once there was a time when the
cardinal and about the only precept
of defense was to follow the ball.
This concept perished coincident
with the inauguration of the criss-
cross attack which led defensive play
ers to think they were following the
ball when they were not. Nowadays
every defensive man has his own spe-
cial duties to perform and as q whole
in these modern times the defense
has it's counter slides to shifts and
all sorts of problems to master grow
ing out of line divides and the like.
When a team has been geared in
all these things and has proved re-
sponsive, when it applies to defense
the fire and lancing drive that it
applies to attack. then scores against
it are dearly earned, If indeed any
score is made.
