FANS WANT
TOWATCH
K.O.BOYS
BY Jack Dempsey

The life of a tight promoter
in these particular days IS per-
haps tougher than it ever vas
in modern history
And that is all because the pubic
demands a few killings" every
fight night at time when killers
are as scarce as million-dollar gates.
"Give us knockouts," demand lhe
prospective customers.
But it can't be done with any
degree Of success unless the ma'ch'
maker sics a great fighter against
a palooka, and if he does that 1e"
will show up to witness the push
over.
This is an era in puglllsm
that finds the woods cro"ueu
with fast, clever and very scleh-
tific fellows; men who are Do1-
ing artists but haven't the Wai-
lon: men who can put up scaip-
tingling display of give-and'take
without X. o. consequences.

fandom wouldn't make life so sad
for promoters If he could find some
"killers".
Cast your eyes all along the fistic
parade and you find it di-fcult as
do the promoters to locate even
one man in any class who can pe
rated as "a really terrific hitter. A
lot of them can hit, as well as box,
but even those fellows with a bit
of slugging reputation. seem to park
their heavy artillery when some big
test comes and step right back into
the boxing shell.

Hay Miller. the Chicago light
weight, was a sensation after knock
Ing over Jimmy McLarnin, Every
body reckoned that a new killer
had arrived. But Miller seems to
have repented since then and as a
KILLER he has become extremely
tame.
So it is with the others who flashed
into slugging renown through the
medium of one or two kayo triumphs.
Given later chances to prove that
they were real killers" they just
couldn't make the grade.
Promoters can find plenty of bat
tiers who are evenly matched in
boxing skill; but Sherlock Holmes
and all the detectives since his pro

The challenger was beaten at

Hudkins had one round, the

Walker had the other six.
It was in the seventh round
that two hard right-hand punches

staggering, but like the champion
that he is, Mickey cut loose IN
desperation, having Hudkins on the
wing at the gong.
From almost every angle Walker
proved himself the master boxer,
the more adroit ringman, the
craftier general and handled him
self beautifully in face Of a rugged
attack.
For once the prophets ran true
to form in almost everything they
had predicted. There was not a
loafing minute in the entire 80.
Hudkins fought as he always fights,
as he always will fight, because he
knows no other style-take them,

bird on the wing.

Walker absolutely nullified Hud-
kins' most potent asset-the kidney
punch-because he kept mis- elbows
working overtime and when the
proper moment arrived he would
shove Hudkins away and bring into
existence his snappy right uppercut
that had Hudkins befuddled and
battered from the second round out.

Tech was supreme until 1912, ex-
cept a forfeited battle in 1902 and
a SIS tie in 1911. Then the big Blue
and White elevens turned with a
vengeance upon their tormentors
and smothered Tech under an ava
lanche of defeats. The games OF '1S
and '22 were Tech victories but
these were just rays of sunshine
sandwiched among 10 defeats over
a dozen years.
Lynchburg was the proving
ground of this colorful classic and
here most of the interesting lore
and rich tradition were realized. The
game shifted to Blacksburg. the
Gobblers' home lair, in 1927. with
the honors even at II victories
each. This was the day that Frank
Peake, one of the greatest half

Tech the lead. 81 to 0.
