NO heavyweight champion of the
past has ever been able to come
back from retirement and regain
his lost laurels. Those who have
essayed it have failed miserably.
Dempsey has two hurdles in his
path which he must clear in
order to win back the heavyweight
championship.
Should he be successful In
his bout with Sharkey tonight,
he will be matched i'm q return
bout with Gene Tunney to be
fought, probably in Chicago,
next September.
Should he fail Well, Tex
Richard may dig him up again
next summer il the crop of con-
tenders runs short, such is his
tremendous appeal to the sport
loving public.
1T will be another struggle of age
against youth. Dempsey is 30. He
has fought one bout in the last
four years. In the eight years since
he won the heavyweight champion.
ship he has fought six times. He
has lived an easy life in the mean.
time. Sharkey is almost IS years
old.
He has been fighting regularly
since 1924. He gained prominence
first by winning on a foul from
Harry Wills last October, after
giving the big negro a bad beating.
Next he scored a technical knockout
over Mike McTigue, although Mike
made him look bad for seven or
eight rounds. His most recent per-
permance was a knockout victory
over Jimmy Maloney.
II betting odds count for any
thing--and let us say right here
that they dOD't-Sharkey should
win. Those who back their iudg-
nlent with long green have made
the Boston Lithuanian a 2-1
favOrite. A last-nlinute flood of
wise money" may raise havoc
with these odds before the men
enter the ring, just rs it did i'm
Philadelphia last September.
The only indication OF what way
the intelligent mazuma is being
placed was afforded by Arnold
Rothstein's bet of 1900 against
$1,000 on Sharkey at the race track
Tuesday. This may have been only
a blind" to affect the odds. Any
way Arnold is usually on the right
side.

BRYAN TO Get
C|TY'S TRIBUTE
Bloomington Clubs to Honor
Indiana U. Head.

BU UHueG Press
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, June IT,
President William Lowe Bryan, who
twenty-five years ago today &C
cepted the position as head of Indi-
ana University, will be honored to-
night at a testimonial dinner here
a tribute from the KiwaniS, Ro-
tary and Exchange clubs. Dinner
will be served at the Masonic temple
and $50 club members and their
wives are expected to attend.
1t was a quarter of a century ago
today, that Bryan, then a professor
in the philosophy department, was
called before the university trustees
and told he had just been elected
president to succeed DR.. Joseph
Swain, who had resigned.
Il was in poor health and suffered
from insomnia and hesitated to ac-
cept. But I took the appointment
and told them that my resigna-
ton always would be on the table.
But have never been troubled with
insomnia since" President Bryan is
quoted by friends.
Bryan, who was born In a log
cabin about two miles from Bloom
1ngton, rose through his own initia-
tive and industry TO the rank of
dean OF Indiana educators. He
joined the Indiana faculty in 1884
as instructor of Greek.
Under Bryan's presidency Indiana
University has grown from an en-
rollment of 1884 students in 1902,
% o,643 in 1927. Sixteen new build
lngs have been built during his adj
n1lnlstration. Bryan was inaugu-
rated as president Of the university
