Confident Challenger

Tunney thus has knockout record that compares favorably with Demp- sey's although the champions attack invariably has been fiercer with his finishes coming in more rapid-fre fashion than the challenger's. Gene counts upon his defense, however, to keep the champion in check if the lat ter elects to open up at a tearing, rushing gait.
 Moreover, Tunney is confident he can take 'em" and still stay in the thick of the fight. Gene has taken many a wallop on the jaw. without go- ing down and possesses rugged endur- ance. He believes he can weather any storm turned loose by Dempsey and come back to turn the tide. .e
 In physical makeup, Tunney and Dempsey are very much alike and there is only three years difference in age, the champion being 31 and Gene 2S. Both are at their best fighting weight at about 19o pounds. Both are about an inch or. two over six feet and proportioned similarly so that if there is to be any advantage to either it must come in their fighting prow- ess.

PHILADELPHIA Sept. 21. (P)- Gene Tunney, the fighting Marine who aspires on Thursday to remove the heavyweight crown from the head of Jack Dempsey, shapes up as the most formidable antagonist the champion has drawn since he wrested the scep- ter from the Kansas Man Mountain, Jess Willard, seven years ago.
 Tunney's record not only is more impressive than that of Harry Wills, the negro challenger, but ranks him several notches above the class of any of Dempsey's championship op- ponents, most critics assert.
 Gene does not pack as terrific wallop as Luis Firpo, the only man who has had Dempsey down for a count since he won the title Nor is the former Marine as clever a boxer as Tom Gibbons, who stayed fifteen rounds with the champion three years ago. Tunney may not be as f1ashy as Georges Carpenter, either.
 But none of these three, who gave Dempsey his most spectacular fights, possesses the all-around equipment of the present challenger, who combines speed shiftiness and a clever de- fense with a punch which has become a real knockout weapon.
 Tunney accomplished something Dempsey could not do when he knock ed out Gibbons last year. He also knocked out Carpenter, in 1924, and in putting down the rugged Bartley Madden for the count of ten Gene per formed a feat that Harry Wills found impossible.

to do big things.
Seventy-four yards, more or less,

on the last down. The second came
when Princeton recovered a tumble

When the crowd filed out of
Palmer Stadium there was chat OF
Shag Ransford, Hamilton, Caldwell
and others who carried the ball for
Navy, but football men raved over
the vicious charge of the MILDLY line,
and the ease with which it outplayed
the Tiger forwards. When Navy
needed a few yards it went out and
got them, and wasn't particular rs to
whether it gathered those strides off
tackle, through the middle or around
end.
There was a touch of Gil Dobie in
the Navy's terrific off tackle thrust.
''Navy" Bill Ingram played at Am.
napolis under the Dobie regime and
he knows the worth Of that particn.
lar bludgeon. Wherefore, Darby and
French came in FOR a terrible beat
ing.
They were jammed with back
and end working high and low COM
bination from the outside, and the
ends were wallopsd by lineman
tearing out. There was breach
created through which a motor truck
could have steamed.
It was amazing to me that
neither Darby nor French could
get out of the way of that attack.
They were boxed completely in the
same trap time and time again.
They were showed in Or bOWIed out
rs the signals demanded and Navy
went on down the field to scores.
I'll venture the statement tnat
Navy Outrushed the Tigers five
yards for one.
Navy used combination line play
almost all the time. Princeton on
attack used a shoulder to shoulder
mob scene with bridges or another
back riding the charge. This was
effective in spurts, but Navy found
q way to smash in, under and
through to grab legs and check
the advance.
Wickhorst and Eddy were powers
In the Navy line, and when Woer-
fier and later Olsen went in for
the Blue, there was no falling off
in efficiency. Believe me, those
tackles knew their stuff. Lloyd,
Williamson and later Taylor played
well at ends for the Navy, and that
intrepid IriShman, Burke at guard
stood out.
