ONLY Two JOBS
VACANT IN FIRST
COLBY WORKOUT

With only two important positions
to be filled by inexperienced men,
Coach Edward Roundy met the
members of the prospective Colby
football squad yesterday afternoon
at Cobbosseecontee for the first pre-
liminary workout. About thirty re-
ported for practice.
Roundy is optimistic in his pre-
dictions for the coming schedule.
All the members of the squad seem
to be in the best possible condition,

the players into a we'll organized and
fast working unit more rapidly than
in past years. Roundy says that the
main objective will be to try expert
mental shifts of players until the
combining snappy team that Will
work to the best advantage.
The loss Of Keith, the last years
captain, who filled the position of
left tackle, also Smith who played
left end, will be felt to some extent,
but the fact that there are up-and-
corners competing to fill their shoes
brightens the prospects consider.

seems to be the man to fill Smiths
position. The loss of Peabody's

keenly. but Seekins, last years

The training at Cobbosseecontee

at top speed for the coming eight
or ten days.
Just before the squad left Au-
gusta yesterday afternoon Coach
Roundy received a telegram from
Jack Rogers declaring that he will
in all probability be unable to re-
turn to college. The loss OF this

extent the smoothness of the veteran
backfield units. It Is hoped that
Rogers will change his mind and
return to college.

with the public.
Then, before members of his
training staff alone, Dempsey will
try out the strategy with which he
expects to defeat Tunney. An
nouncement of the champions de-
cision to work strictly in private
came as a surprise. It will be the
first time in his career he has un-
dertaken such a course.
In unfolding his plans. Dempsey
said he desired to work in private

able to concentrate with the cries of
a crowd, complimentary or other
wise, ringing in his ears. The Sc
crecy move on the part of the cham
pion was hailed as a smart bit of
headwork by his admirers. They
pointed out that a man, under obli-
cation to put on a show for hun
dreds of people, who paid S11O to
see him work. cannot try out many
things he desires. Furthermore, If
he has any tricks he wishes to keep
secret. they would be just as private
as a trolley ride.
The lid placed on the gates at the
Greyhound Racing Track probably
will cost the champion around So
600 in admissions, but he regards
that as mere chicken feed COM
pared to the necessity of being on
edge when he enters the ring with
Tunney.
Dempsey is now threatening never
to fight Harry Wills or even give the
negro challenger a chance to make
any money at his expense.
IT don't think he deserves It,"
Dempsey said, considering the way
he and his manager, Paddy Mullins,
have acted. They've done every
thing possible to prevent the Tunney
match. They had the fight thrown
out of New York and Mullins even
went as far as to try and have Wills
declared champion. They have tried
in every way to prevent me from
earning my money"
Reminded of his Saratoga def
posting S150,O00 for a mix-up with
Wills, Dempsey declared Wills must
cover that amount if he is anxious
to fight.
"He will work on winner take

Dempsey asserted. We'll then lind
out how anxious he Is to fight"
