U. 5. MEN CALLED
 UNT|DY DRESSERS
British Girls Object to Their
 WardrObeS

London, Sept 2S Pl-Ameriean girls look great deal smarter" than English girls. but American men are badly dressed according to the conclusion Of 30 girls belonging to the staff of a London department store who have returned 10 London after tour of 10000 miles 10 America and back.
 Compared with English girls, American girls have, the visitors sad; Better figures, nicer legs and feet. shorter skirts, more and better fitting frocks, as much confidence girls have at %.
 The English girls found that their American cousins spend most of their money on clothes. and they wear many more trocks than we do. Miss America studies fit far more than our girls, and this makes her look a great deal smarter. Her feet are beautifully shod and in this respect they beat us easily"
 But as for American men, Our men, at any rate, beat the Amcri- cans hollow. They are terribly pressed and their tailoring is dis gusting. The only thing 10 be sail IS that it is comfortable and clean. We wanted to put pins in the men all the way down. There was no fit about them at all We went 10 q dance at a country club, and, to our horror, the men took off their coats and danced in their shirt sleeves. We were so startled that wo nearly walked out"

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 8 dP-Wher
coaches and graduate managers OF the
Pacific coast conference finally COM
4 p1eted tonight the task of compiling
| the 1928 football schedule for the ten
member colleges, it was to find thai
the University of Southern California
, had walked away with all strategic
/ honorS
| The Trojans emerged from the con
| ference round table with a carefully
selected list Of football dates, so spaced
with long rests between the hard
! games, that they will enter next years
championship race with an enormous
advantage, many coaches agreed.
Southern California plays five con-
| ference opponents next year instead
of six, meeting Oregon State Aggies,
California, Stanford, Washington State
and Idaho, but the dates are such
T that the team gets week of rest be-
fore every game listed as tough" and
only at the fag- -erd of the year are any
two conference contests played on sue
cessive Saturdays.
The Trojans also make only one trip
from home, to Berkeley against Cali
fornia, october 20.
AS against this, Washington State
college drew a prize seven game sched-
ule in which five of the seven games
are away from home.
Oregon State agricultural college
takes on a five-game conference pro-
gram which requires, in the first three
weeks of the season trips on success
sive Saturdays to Los Angeles, Pull
man and Seattle.
And University of California at Los
Angeles, the "baby member of the
new coast ''big ten," in four-game
schedule plays three of the four con-
tests away from home. One OF the
road trips is to Moscow, Idaho, against
the University of Idaho. Another is
to Portland to play Washington State
college November TO-
Idaho, after lean 1927 season with
only four conference games, filled her
schedule with five buN three of them,
against Stanford, Montana and South
.ern California, will be on the road.
Idaho and Stanford also got what is
looked on as bad break when GWynn
Wilson, graduate manager, and Bill
Hunter, director of athletics at South
ern California insisted that the South
ern California California game at
Berkeley must be so arranged as to-
give the Trojans an open week before
they meet Stanford on November 3.
This made it necessary to switch the
Trojan California game, originally set
for October 27, to october 20. AS it
will be played in Berkeley, it will
practically wipe out, it is said, the
drawing power of the Stamford
game at Palo Alto the same day.

CALL GOES OUT
FOR FIGHTER TO
FACE BAD MAN

There will be another first class
fight card at the Camp Jones service
club the week between Christmas and
New Years if plans now being laid
work out properly. This was the an
nouncement yesterday of Lieutenant
Luongo, camp athletic officer. He,
said that he had the semi-final bout
all ready to go and is not wanting in
good preliminary boys. The one thing
now necessary is first class fighter
to go into the ring for the main
event, against Battling Hicks.
Luongo reports that so far he has
been unable to find boy capable of
going any distance against Hicks and
he does not want to match him
against some third rater who would
take the count before the crowd gets
a chance to look them over
The Semi-fina1 will be between
Beaver of Douglas and hot child
from the Twenty Fifth who is known
is pugilistic circles by the name OF
Yaqui Edwards The critics expect
that Beaver will get a chance in this
frame to show everything he has.
Edwards has fought some rather hard
propositions and in confidence he can
at least dent the artistic Douglas

at the time, that my scoring of the
knockdoWn had put me out far in
front on points and that from then
on, 1T would be my fight even though,
/ didn't knock him out.
So it struck me as foolhardy to make
flying tackles at the sprinting Tun-
ney. / had grown a little bit tired
and / saw no reason to wear myself
out making wild lunges at a man who
was doing cycling act.
Tunney kept circling around I kept
after him, tried to corner him and,
occasionally, threw some punches at
him. But Tunney kept running. Oc-
casionally got in close. When I did,
the clever Tunney clinched and hung
onto me like long lost brother.
And so, Tunney either ran himself
out of danger, or Barry broke him
away from danger and the champion
survived the seventh.
When we went out for the eighth
round I felt still confident that had
Tunpey thoroughly whipped and that
I would give him even more of beat
ing in chat round. But Tunney, a
cautious fighter, used his legs to splen-
did advantage and then, something
that might be called luck, or interfer-
ence of Barry, assisted him materially
AS we were about to go out of one
of the eighth round clincheS, Tunney
clipped me on the chin and put me
on the floor. The punch didn't hurt
4 me, but it gave Tunney plenty of con-
! fidence He came into me and each
time that he did I thought had him
i all set for some mitigating where
could do lot of damage.
Tunney, in his statements concern
ing the fight, gives himself nine out
of the 10 rounds A liberal fellow
| this Gene / really think he's bit
too much so, For I figure that I won
the eighth round, just as feel won
\ the third sixth and seventh. The
worst thought ought to have had
4 in the first was an even break. I'll
give Tunney the second, fourth and
fifth That made the count 4 to 8 in
my favor-as regard it-aS the ninth
round began.
When the ninth started, my legs be-
gan to slow up Bit and when they
didn't respond quickly and solidly to
the call made on thenl-well, | lost
little confidence. For legs are vital
and when they start to buckle under
fellow, just as he's going into the
last two rounds of a close fight, it's
no happy feeling.
1 guess Tunney realized that the last
two rounds would decide the result,
! and that he sensed that my legs were
Shaky Anyway, he came tearing into
me in the ninth He nailed me with
plenty of punches and hit him some
in return, but he had the advantage
over me in that round.
The story of the 10th and final
round is a simple story, of Tunney
tearing in and of my trying to land
haymaker- er-and of Tunney winning
that round. I'll concede that Tunney
outpointed me by grabbing the ninth
and 10th rounds, thus saving him from
defeat and perpetuating him as cham
pion.

column tomorrow morning).

rivalry in recent years for the worlds
light heavyweight championship re-
suited in the most stirring battles
in the history of that division will
come together for the fourth time
tomorrow night, engaging in ten

The match will draw upwards of
$4,000 at prices ranging from SO to

a sensational knockout in four rounds
in their first battle.
Both. warriors finished training
sieges without mishap. Delaney will
weigh about 171 pounds tomorrow
night, only two pounds above the

bach Weighing about 172 IL. Delaney
probably will enter the ring 7 to 5

please report him as the whole pro-
gram for the next boxing card hangs
on the hopes of securing some punch
fodder to throw into the arena for
Hicks to devour.
There is no doubt but that Hicks
is first rater, in this district at
least, and the boy who steps through
the hemp and pushes up against him
next time is going to know he has
been somewhere. Fans, both at the
camp and in town are watching for
the right man and everyone is hop
ing that he will come along, plenty
desperate, and get into the ring
SO that the district can see another
first class boxing card.

A question fired at me often since
the Chicago fight is this:
'Why didn't you tear into Tunney
after he got off the floor in the sew
enth?''
Here is the rather delayed answer:
When Tunney climbed off that floor
I felt supremeIy certain that the
championship of the world was coming
back to the Dempsey family.
Never before in any important fight
of my career, did man get off the
floor and go on to take victory from
me. I figured that Tunney would be
no exception; felt that I had plenty oi
time left to finish him and that he
couldn't recover before, I could mai
him again. It was confidence -anc
worse. It was over confidence, the
fatal thing in any endeavors of life,
Instead of rushing Tunney and
throwing everything I had into wild
effort to finish him in that round,
felt there was no use taking foolish
chances and that he'd never recover
from that smashing
Tunney got off the floor and started
to ride his bicycle. I might then have
dashed after him in head1ong fashion
But why do it?. For I felt I certainly
could reach him and drop him again
without running him a foot race first
of all. And beyond all that, thought,
