COLBY PUCKSTERS
OUT FOR REVENGE
AGAINST ST. JEANS

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Waterville, Me-, Jan. 30.-Colby
will be out for win this week
when they tackle the st. Jeans hook
ey outfit for the second time this
season on Thursday evening. Last
Saturday the Johnnies, took the first
game in the city series by a single
point after the college boys had led
at the beginning of the final stanza.
The reserve strength of the Water
vile men was too much for the
youngsters and proved their undoing
as the college team is woefully weak
in substitutes. Last Saturday the
same team played the entire game
and this was one cause for the de-
feat.
st. Jeans has not seen competition
since that encounter and will be on
edge. The two new men who have
been added to the squad come with
enviable regulations and should
strengthen the local town team con-
siderably. The two additions are
Williams and Chamourad and ac-
cording to reports should bolster
the team considerably. This will
give the Jeans an added advantage
in the length of the list Of substi-
tutes and add to their apparent ad-
vantage over the collegians
Colby. however has not been in
active and should present a stronger
sextet than they did last week. Sew
eral men have been tried out during
the week and may be used in the
game. Coach Roundy has made an
attempt to develop a set of substi-
tutes who could relieve the regulars
from the battle for a short time in
order to send them in when an op-
portunity to score came and his sue
cess in this will be shown or not
according to the record which the
subs make against the Saints this
week.
In the game last Saturday Cap.
tain Harry Muir and Rack Gould
were the best men on the field OF
battle, while Fagerstrom at his Do.
sltlon in the net was the most bril-.

| BELIEVED TEX
| ANGLING FOR GENE
| AND JACK ON JULY 3

New York, Jan. 20.-(AP)-Plans
for Jack Dempsey to defend his
heavyweight championship against
Gene Tunney at Boyles' Thirty Acres
on July 3 may be under way. but
Tex Richard won't admit it just yet,
at any rate. Neither will he deny
this is his fistic objective for 1926.
The veteran promoter was non
commital today on reports published
by the New York Telegram, that
Dempsey already has agreed to meet
Tunney in the historic Jersey City
pine bowl and that while no formal
contracts yet had been signed, the
match would be clinched as soon as
several important angles are
Strengthened out
The Telegram, crediting it's in
formation to "a reliable source"
went on to say that Richard had re-
ceived telephone assurances from
Dempsey of the champions willing
ness to make the match but added
that if any hitch developed, the pro-
moter would stage a bout between
Tunney and Harry Wills, persistent
negro title contender, on the same
date.
To add to the general Heavyweight
"ballyhoo reports were current that
Jack kearns, whose managerial con-
tract with Dempsey lasts until Sep
tember, had made new agreement
with Richard on behalf of Dempsey.
This was denied, however, by
kearns, who said the agreement he
signed with the promoter some time
ago for Dempsey Wills match still
stood. although it is not recognized
by the champion himself.
IF Jack does any fighting before
next September, however. hen have
TO do it under our contract" added
