ASSERTS DEMPSEY HAD
NOTHING BUT COURAGE
Williams Says Long Absenc From Ring Ruined Jack
Tunney in Superb Fighting Form.

Willard, surrendering his title to
Dempsey, left the ring as badly
marked and SCARED.
Jack Kearns sat within ten feet
Of Dempsey. the man he made cham
pion, and watched him lose his title.
There was no smile Of satisfaction
on the dapper little managers face
as he watched the cumbersome eff.
forts Of his old pupil, nor any spo-
ken words to indicate that tho re-
suit pleased him.
In the second round Dempsey
caught Tunney with a right-hand
than landed solidly against his jaw,
but the punch had no effect on
Gene other than to make him blink
and fight back with greater fury.
When Kearns saw that this punch,
one of Dempsey's best, hadn't even
staggered the challenger, he turned
to a friend in the press row and
said: Hes through" And he was.

! PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 24.-Jack
game Thursday night and 10000
people saw him battered and dashed
into oblivion.
Jack Dempsey tried to come back
after three years of idleness; he
tried to come back just as Jim JEFF
fries had at Reno; as Jess Willard
had at Toledo and he failed, just as
all heavyweighs who turn their
backs on the ring once and remain
away from it for any great length Of
time will fail.
Jack Dempsey was one Of the
greatest fighters who ever pulled on
the gloves seven years ago when
pummeled Willard senseless in three
rounds. He was still a great fighter
the night he stopped the Luis Firpo
In two rounds three years ago.
Jack Was Rusty
But there was nothing great about
the way Dempsey went down to de-
feat before the two-f1sted attack of
Gene Tunney Of the Marines at the
Sesqui-Stadium Thursday night. The
cobwebs of antiquity shad settled
over his former fighting genius and
the rust of inactivity had corroded
the iron in his once mighty fists.
Just as writer's in days gone by
said Of Jeffries that he was but a
she'll of his former self, the writer's
Of today, preferring aptness to
labored originality, can say the same
of Dempsey. The marvel is that
he was able to survive the ten
rounds. because he had absolutely
nothing. -~ n = n boil EizsaG
On the other hand Tunney was In
trim for his greatest fight. After a
temporary display of his old-time
cautiousness in the first round, Tun-
ney sensing that his great chance
really had come, opened up a short,
jolting offensive that carried him to
victory with grim relentlessness.
Gene Strong All Over
Tunney, three years younger and
superbly trained, had everything
Dempsey lacked. He had infinite
stamina, he had speed, he had clear
eyes, he had legs that grew stronger
! instead of weaker as the rounds
passed, one by one; he had a fine
defense and a splendid hitting style.
If Tunney had been a real knocker-
out he would have finished Demp-
sey before the third round; indeed,
I was convinced Dempsey would not
be able to last through the second
after seeing him founder around the
ring in the first round with the
awkwardness of a novice. One thing
Dempsey did have was courage. He
stood up bravely under a cruel bat
tering.
The ultimate tip-off on Dempsey
came in the sixth round when he
landed three Of his favorite blows
flush on exposed parts of Tunney's
makeup and didn't even as much
as Jar him. This was proof that
there was nothing left in his fists
but spent energy. These same kind
Of blows dropped all Of Dempsey's
opponents in the years gone by.
Jack Badly Marked
Dempsey, in his losing fight, left
the ring with a face torn, battered
and distorted almost beyond recog-
milton. 1t reminds veteran ringsid-
ers of the day seven years ago when

TWO GAM ES
Tech VS.. EIWood, Shortridge
VS.. Lebanon Today.

The football season was to open
today for local fans with a double
high school attraction.
Elwood was the attraction at Tech
Field against the east side gridders.
Lebanon came to Irwin field to bat
tie Shortridge.
Coach Mueller, who sent the Green
and White to a position Of State
title claimants last year, does not
have wealth Of material at Tech
this year, and Elwood, which already
has played two games, was expected
to tax Techs strength.
Shortridge was expected to tri-
umph over Lebanon. Paul Church,
coach at Lebanon, had an undefeated
team season last year, and football
has become popular sport there.
Both games today were to start at 8
o'clock.

problem why Dempsey lost when he
said:
"Wait till Dempsey sees his face
in the glass in the morning. He'll
feel worse than losing the cham
pionship because the wife is going
to be in town..
Dempsey's friends know that he
had a pride in his title.
Haymalxer Gone
Dempsey didn't have the punch
and Tunney found, after the first
round, that he could take the cham
pion's best and he gained courage
and confidence round by round.
In the fifth round Tunney started
snarling at Dempsey. and in the
clinches he began to out-wrestle and
out-rough Jack. The losing cham
pfon committed fouls time after time.
He pulled rabbit punches and kid
ney blows that were barred by the
rules OF the Pennsylvania commits
sion, but Tunney didn't complain or
protest.
He punched Dempsey out of the
CHnCIGb anu MIN so VIC
iously that for the first time since
he has been the champion, Dempsey

The description of the fight was
probably the easiest to write since
the old days of John L. Sullivan, the
original Jack Dempsey and Jack Nc
Auliffe.
Dempsey, as ne always has
fought, tore at Tunney. every step
Of every round, but for the first

II IL Football, since tho days of
Coach Egbert G. Buss, has
been more or less a yearly specu-

athletic director and head football

Of a split by two factions Of the
alumni. He was a selection by the
university authorities and 1t seems
after a year of work their foresight
and vision might be rewarded with
results this fall.
The first Job Hughes faced was
to turn the athletic situation at the
Methodist school topsy turvy. He
did that, and the result was he en-
joyed a hectic year inf1925.
Just what Hughes thinks of the
1925 possibilities is contained in a
statement he made to the writer after
practice Thursday; IT have a much
faster team this year than last, 1t
is lighter, but more experienced The
squad as a whole will know more
football. I have more knowledge of
the opposition we will have to meet.
