MORGANTOWN, w. Va, Oct. S.
When word reached here that it
was a weak Duke line chiefly re
sponsible for the 527 drubbing that
Pittsburgh handed the Blue Devils.
there was a feeling West Virginia :
chances Of victory over the
Golden Panther Saturday lie in the
play of the Mountaineers' line.
The three West Virginia oppo
nents thus far have found that the
MOuntaineer line is a~tough propo-
sition to penetrate, and in all only
eight first downs have been regis

passes.

With Lang, Lewis and CarriCo on

it did at any time this year and
the Dukes failed to register a

been seeing just about as much

JACK NAMES
SHARKEY
BEST
BY Jack Dempsey

Jack 'Sharkey's spectacular
victory over Tommy Loughran
was no surprise to me. Hav-
ing mixed it once with that
sailor man from Boston, and
having tried out a few samples
Of his hitting power IN the
first round of our duel, [ knew
that Sharkey- when ne
: WANTS to be-is just about
as terrific a hitter as the game
has produced in long, long
time.
But Sharkey has to be In he MOOD.
Something's got to get him all
frothed up and arouse in him
savage battle urge before Jack
reaches real fighting edge.
Jim Maloney. up Boston way.
razzed and razzed Sharkey, and
Sharkey. smouldering with rage, an
initiated Maloney.
When Sharkey met me he knew
that it was no time for taking IL
easy; that the chance to fight Tor
a world championship with Gene
Tunney hung in the balance. Ana
he was a wild, wild young man Tor
a while that night. I didn't know
p how Jack could hit until he pegged
me with a few.
Afterward, when folks got the
notion that he wasn't much OF
hitter at his best, l kept
stringing along with the few
that figured Sharkey had XIII,
ing wallop-if he wanted to let
g.. It go.
J,ouchran had plenty Of fun with
eharkev before the fight, kidding
Rim and taunting him bit. Tommy
wanted to make Sharkey mad. He
succeeded, But he figured that. If
he made Sharkey mad, 1t would
make Jack so wild that he could
cut Jack to ribbons as the COB fired
poorlv aimed and excited punches.
But Tommy didn't know this Shar-
kew fellow. Jack fights best when
a fury b1azes inside. Tommy had
started the blaze. And when the
old bell rang, he met furious Shar
kew. But Sharkey-unlike most
folks who are all feverish in their
desires to knock a fellow for row
of huttercups-was cool. calm, De.
liberate-a tiger let loose in the ring:
All of the speed and cleverness OF
Loughran were Of little use. In that
first round, he did keep out of trou-
bile simply because Sharkey, trying
to finish the fight with a few cy-
clonic smashes. had failed to get the
range. but in the second round JACK
crowded in closer before he let loose
found Louchran's body and chin
without much trouble. and 1t was
obvious to even the most ardent
Loughran fans that Sharkey was on
his way to a smashing victory.
TIM sorry I missed seeing the
fight. like to see the kind
where the boys are swinging
and eagerly risking sleep
punch themselves for the chance
to land n X. o. of their own.
Iouehran was rated az the clever
est man in the game. His speedy
defense was supposed to keep Shar-
key at a distance. But it failed.
AND that just bears me out in
this contentious:
l. man who is fast and alert and
as young as Sharkey-and who
can punch with murderous power
by rushing in can nail the clever
man despite all the talk heard about
NOW cleverness triumphs. All
things being equal in age, speed
afoOt. and brains, l reckon it that
a rushing slugger usually can heat
the clever defensive boxing master.

LOOM
IN NAVY'S

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. S.-While
naval people are far from sat

Naval Academy football team
against William and Mary, Sat-
urday, won by the midship-
men, is to Q, there is a feeling
that stronger Navy team in
every way will be ready for
Notre Dame in Baltimore Sat
urday.
The Navy exhibited a strong de-
Tense against the Nirginians. but
at times the offense was not all that
could be desired, and, in particular,
the left side of the line failed to
give the backs the help that they
should have.
This side Of the line has Moret AT
end. Bowstrom at tackle and Under
wood at guard. Moret and Bow
strom are veterans Of last season.
All are capable OF good football,
but there are plenty OF players for
their positions in reserve and steps
will be taken to strengthen the
team at this place by next Satur-

opponents out OF the play in

this side of the line that Spring
made abe larger part of his
gains Saturday.
The work of the whole line de

tasks of Ingram and his helpers dur
ing the week will be to put the final
touches on the line so that there
will be no lack of cooperation with
the backfield.
During the William and Mary
game, excellent running was done
by Spring, kohlhas, 10th, Binns and
Tschirgi, so that the Naval squad
is well off for running backs. Cliff
ton and H. w. Bauer. who played a
large part of the game, did not run
the ball much, but specialized IN
helping the man with the ball and
also figured in the pass plays.
The Navy was pushed hard enough
by the Virginians to make it neces-
sary for it to use little more of
its inside game than was wished,
but it is certain that Ingram has a
good deal in reserve and that the
Naval team will be much more re-
sourceful against Notre Dame next
Saturday.
In the matter of pass plays, an
Ingram coached team has never yet
gone on the field for an important
game without having some new kink
and next Saturdays game will af.
ford a wonderful opportunity for
