well for his activity.
T AM told that the White Plains High
L School foot ball team has nine line
men whose names begin with the
letter B.
Personally, have sometimes thought
that, if one were selecting squad by
letter, H wouldn't be so bad. Your ends,
for example, would include Hinkey,
Hardwick, Hazel, Hopper, Heron, Hig-
gins, Hogsett, Hallowell and Henry OF
Princeton, and for a group of tackles
you would have Hart, Hogan, Horning,
Hilty, Haughton, Hillebrand and Henry
of Washington Jefferson. Heffelhnger,
Hare, Hickok and Hogg would do for
guards and Hooper, Holt and Havemeyer
for centers.
Huntington of Colgate and Howe Of
Yale were two good quarters. For
halves you might select from Heston,
Hubbard, Hurley and Hollenbach. Your
fullbacks would be Harley, Herschberger
and Horween. And that list doesn't
include Helm, Hinkle, Hickman, Hart.
Hunt, Hanson and Hufford, who did
pretty well this year.

NO PROPS TO HELP
ONCE GREAT PUNCH
Limb Weakness Noticeable
in Jack's~Last Go-MakeS
Much Money Now.
BY JOE villa.

n VEW YORK, December 23.-
M Jack Dempsey approaches
l New York and immedi-
ately there are cries Of
Fight! Fight" Proving that a
fixed idea, once planted in a fight
fans mind, stays there for a long
while.
To the current generation of fight
fans Dempsey represented fighting skill
at its highest peak, and for that reason
they are inclined to believe he could
step in right now and belt out Max
Schmeling and all the contenders for
the heavyweight crown.
What Dempsey thinks Of it is prob
lematical, but the chances are he
doesn't think much of it. Courageous
fighter that he is, he didn't give up
without a struggle following his first
defeat by Gene Tunney, but a memory
of the beating he took in the first two
rounds Of his fight with Jack Sharkey
and the grueling punishment inflicted
have driven from his mind all thought
Of fighting again.
Snap Leaves Legs.
A fighter who can punch is like ball
player who can hit: The last thing to
leave either of them is the walIop.
Thus, Dempsey probably can punch as
hard or almost as hard, today as on
the day on which he brought Jess Will
lard tumbling down at Toledo but his
legs that took him into action so rapid
ly when he was in his prime that even
slow-motion pictures of his fights
couldn't slow him down, played him
false in his last three fights.
Losing to Tunney the first time, he
barely scraped through to beat Sharkey
on punches that most ringsiders thought
were foul and in each of these fights
his footwork was woeful
Bad as it was then, it was worse at
Soldier Field. Good legs under Demp-
sey in that seventh round would have
meant the end of Tunney, but when
Gene got up after the celebrated long
count and took to his heels Dempsey
couldn't catch up with him.
No Better Now.
It Is, Of course, elemental that If
DempSey's legs we're gone" in 1927 he
is no better off in that respect three
and half years later. 1t is conceivable
that If Dempsey were financially fiat he
might undertake the long grind with
disaster at the end of it for the sake of
getting a new stake, but he isn't.
His novel role as guest referee" is
yielding him an income that ranges
from $4,000 to $4,000 a week. AS this
has been going on for more than a wear.
he's on his way to his second million
without having to fight for it.

Due to Drought-Third Cavalry
Fellows Champions.

Despite the drought that prevented
the annual Fall high and low goal
tournaments plenty colorful polo COM
petition was staged here and by and
large the dashing sport had another
satisfactory year. The drought made
the field IN Potomac Park so dry in
the Fall that 1t was deemed unwise to
use the ponies for fear of injuring
them and it also was figured a tourna-
ment at that time would do the turf
no good.
A total of something like 10000
people saw the games here. Two tour
naments marked by first-rate compe-
tition were staged.
Third Cavalry Fellows of Fort Myer
swept honors hereabout Their most
notable conquest was the 11-3 win
over Philadelphia Country Club riders
which gave them the Southeastern cir
cult title. This match was staged at
Philadelphia.
Prior to gaining Southeastern honors
the Cavalrymen won the Southern
half title in the Southeastern circuit,
defeating War Department Blues in
the final, TO 4. at Baltimore. yell
lows also were victorious in the invi-
tation tournament for the War De-
partment cups and the Argentine cup
tournament, defeating Fort Benning,
Ga. in the final of the former affair
and the War Blues, IL to Z, for the
Argentine cup.
1t was the first time in several years
the Fort Myer Cavalrymen showed un-
usual strength. Mainstays of the

Possibilities of Ties for Leads in
Divisions Tonight.

NEW YORK, December % CP.-
Neither the Boston Bruins nor the
Montreal Canadiens can be displaced
from their positions at the top of the
American and Canadian divisions of the
National Hockey League tonight, but
they may have to share the lead with

The Maroons. two points back of the

Old Sourdough Passes Away

J. s. Waite, who two weeks
 ago was taken into custody by
 officials upon a charge of insanity
 and who died few days after a
 hearing, from d blood clot on the
 brain, was one of the early stam-
 peders to this section. MT. Wat
 te was born in Holbnach, England.
 April 26, 1865 making him 65
 years of age at the time of his
 death.
 l He joined the stampede to Kot-
 zebue Sound in 1898 and at that
 time was associated with Captain
 Whistler. The latter was for many years associated with the business
 life of Nome w. H Sturtevant,
 who runs a machine shop on first
 avenue. was also in the Kotzebue section at that time. and knew
 MT Waite intimately.
 | MT. Waite came to Nome in
 August 1899 and has been identi-
 fled with the mining industry ev fer since. He owns two placor
 claims on Snake river, near the bridge, and two more claims on Dry Creek near the Belmont Point
 bridge. for which it is said, he
 was offered sum of S10,000. He l has lived pretty much to himself
 here in Nome. and made friends with very few. He usually was employed during the summer
 months as check r of freight on the lighterage dock when vessels arrived. his spare time being spent l in doing assessment work on his claims which were never mined. principally due to the fact they were within the townsite of Nome. He is survived by sister An
 nie Waite, who lives at Ousgate House, Selby Loveshire, England,
 who is supposed to be the last of his immediate relatives. At | the time of his death he had suf- ficient money in his clothes to
 probably pay for his burial. He
 was never known to run bills so that his estate will fall heir to
 his cabin and mining claims
 Funeral services will be conduct ed under the auspices of the Pio- neers of Alaska, of which he was a member. Services win be held at the Federated church, Dr. New ton officiating. Following the chur- oh services the cortege will pro- cede to Belmont Point cemetery where fnterment will be made.
