UNIQUE IN
HISTORY
BY Jack Dempsey
Former Heavyweight Champion Of
the World

Never in pugilistic history
has the fight game known so
much of what the boys call
'internationalism. -
In the beginning, the war
riors all were English, for
England was the cradle of
boxing. y
After a time the U. s. A. took it
up. SO did Australia. These three
countries dominated in a heavy-
weight war until France came along
with Georges Carpenter and chai-
lenged for supremacy.
France-or rather Carpenter
was pushed out of the picture and
ceased to be conspicuous in the
heavyweight class. Australia could
find no more Fitzsimmonses, no
more Jacksons and no others of
greatness. England, which pro
duced so many amazing fighters in
the heavyweight class, slumped
badly.

This latest development in the

that club ruling of the
Athletics denies to unsigned
PLAYERS the right to report at

edict TO the terse effect OF
'Sign up or stay OutP'
Thus the battle between the two

for a skirmish with Coach
Fred Rice's Catholic Univer-

compiled an enviable record

expected to add the Cardinals

team has swept aside all opposi-

Colgate and Bucknell are among
the many that have been measured.
Coach Kelleher, of the Maroon
starts his second-stringers in every
game, irrespective the caliber of
opposition. He believes this policy
has a two-fold effect, giving his
regulars an opportunity to gauge
the strength of the enemy and
demoralizing the opposition when
the regulars canter upon the floor.
