I of King Levinskys shots may
have shaken Jack Dempsey
Thursday night, but they didn't
shake the comeback ideas out of the
Old Mauler's head.
The tour is going on just as planned
except that Dempsey will do less hand
shaking, will be seen less in public out
side of the ring, and will alter his
training routine.
After reading accounts of his exhibi-
ton with the cocky Kingfish, most oil

eh? Well. I'm not. I'm going right on

Pays Tribute TO Foe.
As close TO an alibi as Dempsey could
come was to say he was suffering with
a severe cold, and failed to get going
Al the same time he would take nc
credit from Levinsky, saying the awk.

|[0NG SUCCESSFUL
| AS TROJAN COACH
Turns Out Many Stars, but
Gives Credit to Great
Material at Hand.
BY FRANCES J. POWERS.

| ~HICAGO, February 20.-Few
II track coaches have a rec
~ ord comparable with that
Of Dean we'll Of
Southern California University.
Few of them have been in the
game as long, since it was % years
ago that Cromwell went to South
ern California with the mold that
has produced so many champions
for the Trojans. Men of Troy are
expected to play an important role
in the forthcoming Olympic games
and that makes Cromwell a per-
son of much interest.
Since 1921. when Troy began TO
grow in the intercollegiate athletic
world. Cromwell has developed Is in
tercollegiate champions. 10 national
| champions. 3 individual world record
holders and 2 world record-holding re-
lay teams. Perhaps there are coaches
with better record. but they are few.
Long List of Champions.
Cromwells champions read like
page torn from the athletic almanac.
The first was Fred Kelly In the high
hurdles, then came Charlie Paddock
| in the l00-yard sprint, Bud Houser in
the shetput and Charlie Borah in the
220.
Lee Barnes won for him in the pole
vault, Jess Mortensen was champion
| javelin thrower, while Vic Williams and
Frank Wykof were supreme in the
sprints. Leighton Dye and Kenneth
| Grumbles took the hurdles in the l. C.
| A. A. A. A. and Jesse Hill was the
best broad jumper of his year.
In eight years the TrojanS have won
| the I. c. A. A. A. A. four times and in
| four years of competition have cap
| tured the national collegiate cham
pionship three times. There's a mark
for other coaches to first equal and
then break.
Cromwell takes no undue amount OF
personal credit for guiding the cham
pionship mill at Southern California.
Il had the material" he declared. The
boys had the makings of champions
when they arrived here. They were
equipped with physical ability and de-
termination-on cannot be champion
without them.
Material Prime Requisite.
There are three things no coach
can do. He cannot take boy and
put speed in his legs, wind in his chest
or courage in his heart. He may take
natural speed and develop it still more.
He may work on lung power and in
crease it. He sometimes can remove
timidity and self-consciousness and
make way for inherent courage to
come to the fore.
But no coach can create the ma
terials of outstanding track and field
men, and when you get right down 10
it, the material with which coach
has to work is Of the greatest i'm
portance."
Cromwell brings his boys along slow
" and easily. He specializes his can
didates Boys who participated IN
three or four events in high school are
held to one on the Trojan team.
Frank Wykoff is an example. Frank
ran the 100 ard 22o in high school.
Now Cromwell uses him only in the
century. The Trojan leader is more
apt to underwerk his men than TO over
burden them.

The list Of nominations, made public
today by Matt j. Vim, executive di-
rector of Churchill Downs, is the small

named But a glance at the records
shows the 1882 list does not include

Roebuck and Szabo met once before

here. Szabo. after being tossed around
like a sack of meal by his much larger
opponent. stopped and pinned the
Indian with a series of flying tackles.
Roebuck, however, has added several
tricks to his mat repertoire since and
likely will go into Thursdays match q
slight favorite.
For his semi-fnal, Promoter Joe

- ONE 80 or 35 Of the best south
paw duckpinners of Washington
and environs will have their in
nings tonight at o'clock on the
Northeast Temple drives, when the first
block of the Times lefty sweepstakes
opens.
This portside pin-spilling event Is
unique among sweepstakes, in that
while an open affair except for the
Southpaw side of it, it rarely includes
more than one really star bowler, and
this year will not include any at all.
The reason is because there are no
ranking bowlerS who fling 'em from the
wrong side now that Al Work has prac-
tically hung up his shoes for this sea-
son at least. There are gobs of lefties,
but possibly because they inherit the
lack of control that appears to affect
many southpaw ball singers they rarely
develop into crack bowlers.
LEW left-handers in Washington can
L average lis, but this will not de-
tract from the attractiveness OF
tonight's stakes. With only 10 games
to roll in two blocks. the keenest sort
of competition generally is forthcoming.
The event will wind up next Friday
at Georgetown Recreation.

CINCINNATI, Nov. "a mill
tant American Federation of Labor
drive for a thirty-hour week on
congress and the federal govern
ment appeared imminent today, the
result of President William Green's
fighting speech for the shorter work
day, by "forceful methods" if
necessary.
The federation's program, ap-
proved Monday, demanded universal
adoption, without delay, of the six
hour day and f1ve-day week, with
maintenance of present wage rates
at least, and increases if possible.
Green indicated the Spearhead of
the movement for the shorter week
would be demand on the federal
government that it set the example
by being first to put this reform in
to effect.
Green declared the country was
faced with a momentous decision
whether we shall disn1antle indus
try, or whether we shall provide OPP
portunity for those able and willing
to work" He said it was impossible
under present conditions to pro-
vide employment for the entire
working population of 100000 on
the basis of an eight-hour day, six
days a week.

COUNCIL RAPS
JUDGE GECKLER
$4,000 Plea for Care of
County Wards Refused.

County councilmen slapped back
at Juvenile Judge John F. Geckler
today for ignoring their order to cut
the rate for care of county wards
to 60 cents a day.
Renewing its order, issued in Sep
TENDER, the council unanimously
voted to refuse Geckler- a $35,00O
additional appropriation for sup
port of orphans this year.
Charles A. Grossart, county audi
tor, was directed to notify Geckler
the council would not approve the
IS cents a day rate, on which the
$4,000 request is based.
Declaring he has authority to fix
the amount paid for county wards,
Geckler planned to keep the higher
rate effective until Jan. l.
Geckler relented somewhat this
week in his fight with the council
when he announced he would cut
the rate to IS cents after Jan. /.
Il doubt if there will be money
enough to pay so cents a day.
Walter Boetcher, council president,
stated.
Councilmen informed commits
ssoners today they would oppose the
proposal to lease the Indiana Chris
tan hospital as poor farm annex.
1--WE favor erection of additional
quarters at the present. poor farm.
The downtown location would not
be satisfactory, we believe, and
would require an additional superin-
tendent," Boetcher said.
