It Never Rains But

They say it never rains but
It pours, and such is the con-
clusion which may be drawn
from local efforts to play foot
ball for charity. At the time
Pres. Marvin, of George Wash
ington University. and Prof.
Champ Pickens, of the same
institution of learning, were
bringing the Alabama game to
a head, Major Brewster had
about completed negotiations
with Father Timothy ]. Dineen.
of Georgetown, for a game
between the Marines and the
Blue and Gray, for the unem-
ployed.
This game, which would have
been a natural and which would
have required no expense for
travel was side tracked in defer
ence to the wishes of the Rev.
DR.. Coleman Nevils, president
Of Georgetown College, who
wished to accept the invitation
of George Washington to par
ticipate in the Alabama game
along with Catholic University.
Meanwhile Prof. Pickens is
busying himself about the pre-
liminaries to this game. Yes4
terday he talked over the
phone with Coach Frank
Thomas, at Tuscaloosa, and
assured himself that Alabama
would be here. Prof. Pickens
has ordered the tickets and
has been promised by the print
ers they will be delivered and
on sale by Saturday. Johnny
Morrisey, popular ticket special
ist, of the local ball park staff,
will have charge Of the reserva-
tionS, mail and otherwise.

Jack Dempsey Seeking Gold, Not Romance
WANTS BOU 7
WITH CHAMP
SCHMEL|NG

DES MONIES, Iowa, Nov 10.
Jack Dempsey isn't going TO get
married soon. He even isn't hav.
ing a romance.
''I'm in love with no one but
myself" the former heavy
weight champion said. 81 don't
see how the story ever got
started that was going to
marry LavOnne Vincent, Of
Salt Lake. She is one of the
beautiful daughters Of my good
friend Joe Vincent. There's
nothing to it; I'm not even hav-
ing q romance"
Jack, who appeared here last
night in four rounds Of exhibition
fighting, was proud Of his hands,
now hard, after two hard weeks
with a pei and shovel in his gold
mine in Nevada.
They're hard nOw," he said
Of his famous paws" "They
were pretty soft when l started"
When informed that his good
friend Douglas Fairbanks was
planning an expedition into
South America to search for gold,
the exclamation smiled and said:
II wish him luck. I'm look
ing for gold, too. We ought to
know within 10 days how we're
to come out. We dug in 43O
feet and hit one vein.
81 even made a miner out Of
jerry" he added pointing to
Jerry the Greek, the trainer,
who has supervised the Ma
nasSa MauIer'S workouts for
nine years.
81 am really anxious to meet
Schmeling. / haven't seen him
work for several years, but he
must be good. If / get good
enough, it will be fine"
Dempsey said that he expected
to be in championship form by
next summer. Concerning his
Comeback" tour, Jack said:
This is work and / can't
make any bonerS. Practically
every night is a fight and
they're all trying to knock you
out. However, not any of them
are that tough.
When asked about Tommy
Loughran, Jack said:
Tommy was a great light
heavyweight champion, but you
have to be able to punch"
The ex-champ didn't seem
much impressed with the present
light-heavyweight king, "SlapSie
Make" RoSenbloom.
"He couldn't break an egg,"
Jack declared.
Jack said that his usual rou-
tine on his tour was to fight one
day, work out the next, and be
ready for the next days fight.
When asked if he believed the
same as his manager, Leonard
Sacks, that Tunney retired from
the ring because Of few punches
that Dempsey landed, Jack mod
estly replied:
mo, 1 think that Tunney
wanted to retire, but / would
like to fight him again."
Jack, SO years old and looking
10 years younger, when asked
how long he had been in the
fight game, answered:
"Only a short while, Fl wears
to be exact" and he won't be
cOntended until he regainS the
crown that he lost to Gene
Tunney in the fight of the

ELEVENS,
UNDEFEATED,
FACE TESTS
By COPELAND C. BURG

NEW YORK, Nov. 1O.-The
East's three undefeated major
elevens ramble up against some
terrific opposition this weekend
and today they should be as shaky
as a patient being wheeled to
the operating room.
Harvard, Cornell and Syracuse
are the lily-whites of the East
which may bite the dust after
successfully lodging well-planned
ambush so many weeks.
The Crimson plays Holy Cross,
Cornell meets that crazy-like-a-
fox Dartmouth eleven and SYRIA
cuse battles strong Colgate
crew.
Harvard appears to have the
easiest task, although the Cru
saders early in the season gave
Dartmouth a great scare. Coach
Eddie Casey has promised to
start his regulars against Holy
Cross despite the fact the great
of greats, the Yale game. comes
the week following. If he uses
his first-stringers they should
come through this SATURDAY., add
ing the Crusaders to the Grim
SONS record list Of wins. Whlcn
includes Army and Dartmouth.
Cornell Faces Test
Coach Gil Dobie's 1881 edition,
which beat Columbia after the
New York eleven walloped Dart
mouth, gets what some folks eau
the acid test in clashlng WIN
the boys from Hanover. The big
Green machine has developed
swiftly since the Columbia de-
bacle and the class the Dart
mouth youths showed against
Yale and Harvard in the passing
game makes them a formidable
foe.
Dobie. the old maestro of foot
ball, has one of the finest gangs
of backs ever turned out in the
East, and if he wins over Dart
mouth once again he can't be
denied his place in the front
rank OF tOOCpau.
The Syracuse Colgate game Is
one of those traditional affairs,
and two good elevens will throw
a dog fight to uphold the nonor
and glory of the dear and beloved
past. Syracuse rates better, hav-
ing gone without a defeat, While
Colgate has lost one skirmish.
One of the sad events OF the
day appears to be Navy playing
Notre Dame. They probably will
call out the police and the
Marines as well on this one.
Navy has beaten no one and
Notre Dame has soundly whip
ped everyone-excuse please
except northwestern. TIL e
Purple tied the Irish on a; soggy
field. Navy's outlook is a good
definition for a hopeless task.
Action At New York
In New York two Of the local
boys are going to try and make
good. Fordham plays New York
University and the fur will fly,
as they say in the hinterlands.
Fordham was tied by Holy Cross
and Oregon and Georgia socked
the Violets, so the result will not
be any more important than the
meeting of Pennsylvania and
Georgia Tech. The beating
Notre Dame gave Penn is still
smarting and everyone in the
south fattened batting averages
against Tech.
A good Army team that went
bad with tragedy and cripples
will engage Pittsburgh. Army
has met no one of Importance in
two weeks and just how the re-
vamped eleven will work no one
knows.
Columbia has another stiff test
in Brown. Princeton-it's about
time Princeton had a good pep
talk-plays Washington and Lee.
The question is can the Tigers
lose still another.

Victories in the remaining
games with West Virginia, Villa

Georgetown University from its
worst football season n nearly

Though losing to New York
University, Michigan State. Bos-
ton College and Bucknell and
tying Duquesne, the Hilltoppers
have gained ground almost equal
to that Of the opponents.
Scoring Punch Absent

ever, seems to have left the team.

checked when inside che enemy

Head Coach Tommy Mills fig
ureS that this ill-luck will not
continue forever and that the
tide will change. Probably it
will turn in the West Virginia
game this Saturday in the Grit

One source of joy for Mills is
that the squad is about normal
again and that Ben Cells, shifty
halfback, may be available for
duty against the MountaineerS.

Out Part Of Friday Gains
Seen as Help by Spectator
By THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, May l1.-Satur-
days abbreviated session in can
ceiling half of Fridays advance
bears out the attitude of caution
advised following Fridays sharp
bulge.
It gives graphic evidence that
the situation has not been cleared
of sore spots, as the precipitate
drops in such one-time specu-
lative leaders as Case ThreShing
and Johns Manville will readily
attest.
Technically Improved
From another point of view,
however, the market is now in a
stronger position to go ahead
than earlier in the past week.
Bull interests point out that it
would not have been a very diff
cult task to continue the mark-up
over the weekend and stimulate
outside buying so as to be able
to distribute stock in the new
week.
That the list was permitted to
ease off, thereby once more per
mitting the bear faction to re-
instate their positions on the
short side. places the. market in
a technically sound position.
It remains to be seen whether
the bulls with the technical ad-
vantage can once more over
power the bears with funda
mentals entirely in their favor.
Some Buys Seen Safe
Analytical students say it prob
ably will prove more profitable
for the average trader to pay
closest attention to the position
of individual stocks, rather than
to the possibilities Of what the
market as a unit will do. All
stocks do not make their bottoms
at the exact time, as do the
averages.
The opinion is held that re-
gardless of just when the bear
market may finally terminate,
many stocks have seen their
worst and are in a period of &C
cumulation.
