NAVY BOXERS MEET
CANADIAN MITTMEN

ANNAPOLIS, March 3.-Though
the dropping of the plebe contests and
more frequent trips of varsity teams

Der of weekly events at the Naval

and two plehe contests. Besides, the
varsity swimming and waterproof
teams will go to Princeton.
Great interest attaches itself to the
swimming and waterproof matches
with Princeton, particularly In the
latter sport, as II is expected to have
much to do with the championship Of
the Intercollegiate Association.
Both Yale and Dartmouth. the lat
ter defeated by the Naval Academy,
have wen from Princeton at swim
ming, so that the Navy should win
this event. However. Princeton and
the Naval Academy have the only un-
beaten waterproof teams In the Asso.

for the season.

team picked from the Canadian Uni
versities holds the leading place on
the bill.
Other varsity events are Wrestling
with Lehigh, gymnastics with Penn
sylvania, fencing with Dartmouth and

GENE SEEKS SHARkEY
OR MALONEY AS FOE

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March Scene
Tunney has a bunch that either Jack
Sharkey or Jim Maioney will be. his
next ring opponent as the result OF
the elimination tournament now un-
der way in New York.
The heavyweight champion, arriv-
ing here last night, discussed the pos
sibilities of future ring history In
cidentally as he launched into a scien-
tific analysis of the power which he
believes enabled him to whip Jack
Dempsey. Automatic power he
called it.
He FASTENED to say that he didn't
care who was named to fight him next

absolutely no choice in the matter. /
want to fight the man whom the pub
lie desires"
II think Dempsey is far superior to
any of the present heavyweight title
contenders," the champion said.
But he never can beat a man like
Tunney," Billy Gibson, Tunney's man.
ager, declared "Tunney has a circling
style that a fighter of Dempsey's type
never can solve. A rushing. tearing-in
man always was easy for Dempsey,
but he is thrown off balance and
guard when facing one who contin-
ually circles to the left Or right"
A years vacation from the ring
holds no fears for Tunney. He pointed
out the long period of idleness between
the time he fought Johnny Risko and
then started training for Dempsey. 1t
was matter of nine months. He said
that he was better off for relaxing and
getting away from boxing. Tunney
said he would return East around
March 10. After that he intends to
go to a training camp in the Adiron-
daclls and begin conditioning himself

BY SOL METZGER.

In the open last Summer at Co
lumbus the huge gallery trailing
Bobby Jones was continually
amazed GA his long tee shots of
ESQ, 275 and, sometimes, 800 yards.
Apparently without undue effort
Bobby would drive for these prodi-
gious distances. TO the initiated
his distances were as nothing COM
pared to his uncanny accuracy. On
one long hole, the one pictured
above, guarded by innumerable
traps to the right, Jones sent q
beauty down the left side of the
fairway. leaving himself an easy
approach over the open neck of
the bottle to the green.
1t might be well for the golfer
troubled with poor drying to give
attention to the methods used by
Jones. The average player. keen
for great distances, is usually his
worst enemy. Unlike Jones and
numerous other stars, he over
swings in his effort to sock the ball.
That throws him all out of kilter.
Long drives are not the result of
the speed or distance one takes his
club back. You can hit them $50
yards and accurately Ii you come
back slowly so that your club is not
beyond a line parallel with the
ground at the top. That's the point
to accent. The rest is matter of
starting the club down slowly, hit
ting from the inside out and proper
pivoting and timing. None of these
fundamentals is possible If you
overswing.
