Chicago, Sept. 2S.-(F)-Echoes
of the Tunney- Dempsey fight began
to die away here today, with the
chief actors in the spectacl. gone
from the scene and the fistic rulers
standing complacently behind the
original decision giving Gene Tun-
ney the fight.
Jack Dempsey's statement, when
he arrived in New York, that he did
not receive instructions to retreat
across the ring after scoring a
knockdown, brought only a brief
repetition from Refere. D.ve Barry
that such instructions were repeated
to both fighters just before the bat
tie of Soldiers Field began last
Thursday night.

from Dempsey and Msr.ager Leo r.

TEAM PREPARES
FOR MANDAN II
Bismarck Gridders Have Stiff
Workouts as Traditional
Game Draws Near

With the outstanding game of the
scason-against the Mandan Braves
two days away, Bismarck high
school gridders are going through
intensive workouts.
Weak spots are >being filled up
and ragged edges are being trimmed
off as the Demons prepare for the
game with their traditional rivals,
to be held here Saturday. Shifts in
the line and in the backfield have
tended to add to the power and
strength which seems sure to be an
outstanding characteristic Of the
team this year.
The aerial end of the game is not
being neglected, since reports have
it that Mandan, with a lighter ag-
gregation and less chance Of gaining
distance through the line, is going
to resort mainly to a passing game.
The raggedness which characterized
Bismarck's passing during the first
part of the Ashley game is being
taken care of and the drills have also
helped to produce more speed.
Brown to Be In
Hank Brown, who was out of the
last game because of bad feet, is
coming along we'll and is expected
to be in Saturdays game. His pres
ence should prove valuable in the
backfield, as should that of O'Hare,
who has returned to school and who
is booked to play.
Adam Brown is nursing a bad an
kle, but probably will be in shape
by Saturday. A shift in the lineup
brings Slattery to an end position
and puts Roberts at guard, a posi-
ton which he held during part of
the game with Ashley. Elmer Ben
ser is getting a tryout in the back
field and is showing up we'll.
Negotiations are under way to
book Linton for a game October %.
Dickinson, at first considered, will
be unable to play Bismarck on that
date because Of previous contract
with Beach.

New York, Sept. 28.-(AP)-Cene
Tunney seemed today to have de-
feated Jack Dempsey for the third
time. They came to New York and
had a long distance telephone ex-
change Of verbal blows over the
Chicago count. The referee, Dave
Barry, still supports Tunney, and
Dempsey is inclined to stop the war
of words.
Dempsey said that he received no
warning or instructions that in case
of Touchdown, a count would not
be started until the man who de-
livered the blow went to a neutral
corner.
Tunney Backed by Barry
Tunncy's claim that Barry cx-
planned the moot point clearly when

Thoughts Of Genuine
Value

New York, Sept. 2s.-R-The
New York Evening World today
prints a copyrighted interview with
Gene Tunney, in which the heavy
weight champion said his aim in life
was to teach youth the value Of
right living.
"What / want to do more than
anything else is to consecrate my
life to the welfare of YOUTH" he told
Ed Van Every, Of the newspaper
staff.
Asked as to what his plan was.
Tunney said:
To Teach Clean Living
ITO teach our youth the value Of
clean living. It is hard to talk about
these things without seeming prig.
gish, and my work in the ring has
put too much demand on my time
and my strength to give full thought

it will take much deep thinking be.
fore I can arrive at a plan for the
thing I have in mind, and I would
rather not talk about it until l have
ended my ring career. From pres.
ent indications this will not be fol
years.
but feel that there is something
missing in our educational system
That this last should help youth tt
advance spiritually (and NEAR
this more in a physical than a re.
ligious sense,) as well as mentally
Maybe I am hitting at certain ses
problems which are rather delicat<
to discuss. But these matters car
be touched on with proper education
There is too much Of the wrong kline
Of education in this line in the tab
loids and magazines.
II have certain ideas in mind Of
things that are wrong in the educa'
ton of the very young among oul
boys and girls, also things thai
might be corrected in the scheme Of
CO. educational work but until have
devoted my thoughts to these things
more fully, until my life interest
is not otherwise taken up, the time
has not come to talk on my aims tt
any considerable extent.
Hopes to Prove Of Aid
Somehow I feel that ] can find :
thought of genuine value to give K
the growing generation. Somehow
feel that / will find the way t
bring this thought to the clear un
derstanding and appreciation of oul
youth. Somehow. l feel that my
success as an athlete has been fatet
as merely a stepping stone to The
more important work that there i.
still before me-"
When the champion was asked
what he was going to do with his
million dollars, he said:
