Coach Curtis said today, that he was confident the Jacket-; would win both encounters. Garrett boasts one of its best teams this year, and prospects are bright for a good game tonight. The Decatur squad is reported tol he in good condition, and it is be-’ lieved likely that the regular first: siring aggregation will start thei contest.

Beavers, who started out on the second -team this season and soon .von a place on the first squad is suffering with pneumonia and will he out the rest of th-* season.

DEMPSEY GETS FIRST SET-BACK •- — Chicago. Feb. 19. - (U.R) Jack 1 I; ntpsey had the 'first setback of! his comeback campaign registered . gainst him today, but he is not ; r< ady to retire. Klug Levinsky, Chicago youngs-1 ter, .shaded the former heavyweight ' champion in a 4-rouml exhibition ' bout last night at the Chicago stad- 1 turn before 23..”>22 persons a new ; indoor boxing record. The gross gate receipts were $74,199,9 I, of i which Dempsey received about $33,-1 000 and Levinsky about sll.non. A pell of 21 working newspaper ' men al the ringside on the outcome g.ve Levinsky IS votes, Dempsey 2. with 4 even. The United Press scored the bout even. "1 know I looked bad last night.” Dempsey told the United Press today. ‘ but I expect to have to take a little the worst of it as I go along to get back into the proper shape. I don't know whether 1 won or lost the fight. but if the news papermen say 1 lost, well, 1 guess, 1 did. Levinsky is tough and has a dangerous right hand, but not one of his punches hurt me. We are going along just as we have tor a month or six weeks longer. One bout Isn't enough to determine whether I have a chance to bid for the title.” Dempsey, making his first appearance in Chicago ring since he "noted Gene Tunney for the celeI rated ”14 count” in 1927, looked like a weak carbon copy of the Dempsey who slaughtered Willard, < 'arpentier and Firpo. it was not Dempsey's legs that poked bad last night but his arms. During part of the third round and the final round Dempsey was arm weary. He kept walking right into the withering fire from Levinsky's two fists, shaking off punches and morning forward, but once inside lie- failed to throw punches anything like he did even against Meyer (K. O.) Christner a week ago nt Cleveland. Dempsey's legs couldn’t have been so bad or they wouldn’t have held him tip when Levinsky blast-

led him in the last two rounds with [everything he had in his two flats i ; eiimr.od in fib., ounce gloves At 1 (10. find bell. Levinsky hooked a left flush lo Itemiwey's chin after I Jack had dropped his arms lo hi • ides, and it didn't even wipe tin | ■ mib nil Jack's l:u e. Dempsey, weighin'. PJn pound . ] ileus than he has wt-iph. d for any I <d' Ins exhibition Inuits and l>-,• ■ : . Ilian he weifiml fur either of the | ; Tunftey bouts or I lie Sharkey built, won only one round. (’rowdin,■■] Levinsky and inrowing thorn* shun,' [cruel punches iulo the body, fu-inp | , u y carried the first round by a ( i in mil margin. The eciind was about even, but I Levinsky, growin* holder as the 'light pi'ueri used, hu t a clear marI gin ill tile third, and mighi have | .had a shade In the last round. There were no knockdowns ai.d l neither fighter was in real distress i d atty stage Dempsey carried the ' tight to Levinsky most all the way. leven though lie failed to do milch j punching in lite last round and a ] I half.' He stung Levinsky several; times curly in the tight, when lie I luid tile former fish peddler re- ] 'telling, f .• him’a : last as Tun-1 ney ever u’-l "I don't think Dempsey is so) tough," Levinsky said at *r the]' bout, “but he gin still punch How , '{ever, I'd like to meet him in a lo | round tight.” The huge crowd, which filled i ievery available seat and overflowed ’ ! into the aisles, gave Dempsey a , rousing tribute when lie entered the ■ring and loft it. Later in the Ter I race Garden of the Morrison Hotel [where Dempsey was the guest of I honor lie was given another great cheer by the crowd which hardly noticed Levinsky. W. L. Stribling, or any of the other celebrities. o BASKETBALL RESULTS College Scores Franklin, 31: Indiana State) I Teachers, 29. fit se Poly. 45; Anderson. 22.
