In crushing Johns Hopkins In q
Thanksgiving day game. $40, the
College Parkers added their sixth
victim Of the season, others being
v. M. L, N. Y. u, Catholic u, st.

against Hopkins was the largest
that had been made against the
Baltimore eleyen, with one excep-
tion, since it started collegiate foot
ball.
AS expected, Georgetown trounced
George Washington, ATT, in the
turkey day game here. but 5000
spectators at the Hilltop aroused
prospects that the G. U.-G. w.
game will be "the" game of the 10

game. but Giacomo scored for the
Hatchetites when he picked up
a G. U. tumble and ran so yards
for touchdown.
An unusual situation will pre-
vail on the Washington base ball

102, 900 people present, and every one

I got to thinking about what hap

I remember that I felt dead sure Of
winning that night because I had
paid much more attention to boxing
than Jack had.
I'm the second place, still
remembered one important
thing had to do. I knew that

puncher and knew Jack was
looking for this type Of contest

Tunney grinned. II couldn't forget
that punch II tried" he said. I'll
tell you why. In the first place, it
came from nowhere. I have been ac-
cused Of getting careless Just at that
time. You don't get careless against
Dempsey. unless you want to have
the top Of your head knocked of.
It was a left hook. and it nailed me

second or two that I'd never breathe
again. 1t was much worse than a
punch to the chin. I'll tell you how
bad it was. I've had to have two
minor operations on my throat since
to remove small growths that n,,pch
left, and there are still times when I
feel slight soreness.
