No rides were solicited but the men took a lift whenever it was offered. They slept by the roadside most of the nights. “Just like army days, only we didn’t have any sergeants to bother us,” George Wilson, one of the hikers, said as he unslung his pack at the end of the trip.

WILLS Farrell Says These Two Are Logical Contenders Now New York, July 26—Just a year ago Jack Dempsey was forced practically into retirement because of the scricity of "logical .contenders” for the

heavyweight championship. Every aspirant for the title was loaded down with some kind of a “too” tliat would not develope the steam necessary to put over one of the modern heavyweight scraps. Gibbons was too little: Willard was too old; Wills was too dark; Firpo was too green; Beckett was too horizontal, and Carpentier was too through. In the short space of two months, the whole situation was turned over, several “toos” were removed, and now Dempsey has in the makings enough work to keep him busy for a year and bring him another fortune. Tommy Gibbons Ivas th e biggest factor in bringing the heavyweight division back as the leader in the biggest season that boxing has known in a decade. It was Gibbons who exploded the popular belief that Dempsey was too good for any of his rivals and that the best of contenders for the title would lie little better than a set-up for the champion. When Gibbons went through fifteen rounds with Dempsey without being knocked off his feet, Dempsey lost all his claim to the title of an invincible superman, and it was only logical to figure that if a light heavyweight like Gibbons could keep Dempsey away for fifteen rounds that some heavier, man, with a little class could give the champion a great battle. Some opinion exists that Dempsey “carried" Gibbons for the very purpose of destrbying confidence in his ability so that he could get some big shots against other contenders. Dempsey’s poor showing against Bill Brennan the last time they met, when Brennan went twelve rounds with the champion, made the Carpentier fight possible because the public figured that the champion had slipped and that the Frenchman would have a real chance to win. Perhaps Dempsey did not extend himself against Gibbons. No one knows but Dempsey, but few who saw the fight at' Shelby oh the Fourth had many doubts that the champion was doing his best and that he really tried to knock Gibbons out. As a result of that bank-wrecking .Shelby affair, Dempsey has two big Hights inprospect with Luis Firpo, the South American giant, and Harry I Wills, the big colored stevedore. AnI other match with Gibbons would also be an attractive card. o WILL WATCH I. U. TEAM Complete Change Made in Coaching Staff at State School Indianapolis, July 26 —No gridiron team of tlie state will be watched closer by critics and fans during the 1923 football season than that of Indiana Unuiversity. A complete change in the coaching staff has been made in the school at Bloomington. With this untried aggregation, anything may happen. During the years that followed the resigning of Jimmy Sheldon as coach for the Cream and Crimson, ten years or more ago, various factions have tried to control athletics at Bloomington. Far strong grid teams. United support was accorded Bill

Ingram, head coach, nt a recent banquet of Alumni in Indianapolis’, which is an encournglng symptom. ingntnt Ilves tis Jeffersonville, Ind. He played on the Navy team In 1918, and wus named on the All-American eleven by ninny critics. In 1922, lie led the WlHlnni and Mary pigskin exponents. Kenrteth Brewer, former Indiana grid -captain, selected Ingram. He said he believed Ingram was the best man available. Leslie Mann, who will be Ingram's assistant, knows the ability of each Crimson player, whirl) will of inestimable value to Ingram in forming his varsity squad early In the season without devoting too much time to experimental work. Indiana University men were happy a few weeks ago when it was announced that Zora Clevenger would be athletic director. Clevenger knows the problems at Bloomington, and he knows how to solve them. As a player in the old days at Muncie High school and later at Indiana he was without an equal in the state in every branch of athletics. He is the right man to put Indiana back in the center of the athletic map. in this part of the country, just as lie has done at three other universities where he has coached.
