Football Reviews By Dick Miller

Outlook at Cathedral ! * * | P-TO-DATE Rockne style of II | football will be played by L- I the Cathedral High School grid this fall. The team frequently referred to In local circles as “Little Notre Dame," will handle the monicker better than ever this year. Back In the days when A1 Feeney coached, the boys looked and acted the college team party and this year It looks like days of old. Joe Sexton, who recently graduated from the upstate school, and who played under Rockne, and during the past month attended the coaching school there, Is anew faculty member and is coaching the team. Brother Vincent, coach last year, Is in New Orleans this year. Fifty-five candidates reported to Coach Sexton Monday for first practice. The strain became toa great and Thursday night the numbekjiad diminished to forty-five. A lokge squad of second string players are at the other end of the field. These are under the instruction of Brother William. Brother Benedict is the faculty manager. All the equipment has been issued, and the squad is _in full motion now. * '* • The chief worry of Coach Sexton at this time is to memorize the names of the jjlayers. • * * “What Is your-name, ladtf” Sexton frequently would ask this and that player who had done a good job of blocking or some other play In the proper way. Fundamentals all are being rehearsed daily. The new coach does nit know the qualities of any <of the players and each to him Is a beginner. Cathedral warriors are about the same in size as last year, probably lighter, due to the loss of Marks, Harmon and Walsh. There are several husky boys who are being groomed for their places, however. The entire lino was lost, and if is going to be a big problem for Coach Sexton to build a forward \vall to match the skill and speed of his back field. The players were lined up in squads, and McQuaid and Farrell were at ends; "Hufnagel, Sjtatz, O’Brien, McDonald, Wernslng and Herold were other wing men who pranced about the lot grabbing passes out of the ozone and- doing other antics that would lead the writer to believe the end men or the Catholics might develop Into mighty good players before the season is far along. • * * Stenger is a good looking tackle, as are Thompson, Ferguson and Schilling. 'Sexton, a brother of the coach, Is a husky boy, and Bikes is another big boy who should be hard to box. Guards are plentiful In number, but unknown in quality. Cain and Sullivan are two of the Ukllpst, and McCutcheon and Shell are men who will have to be reckoned with before Sexton can figure his forward wall line-up. Kane and Mahaffey are making a bid for recognition with lots of fight. The battle for the guards/position is a dandy. Centers, to succeed Dave Harmon are hard to find. Conley looks like a good man, but Cook is trying to convince the coach it is he who should have the job. Bingham, looks like he might beat both of them te the place and the balj passing job, is another that the coach will find plenty of worries over,' before he is set in his choice. • • • The line Is being taught to charge. A leaning of most players to hold was evident In the play of the line men, but durifig the practice we saw the warning of the coach was heeded and better play near the last end was noted. * • * The quarter back position' presents a real problem for the coaching staff to solve." Two of last year’s men are available.' Miller and Mueller. Both" are different in abilities and hard to bench, Miller is a clever runner, a fine passer and wonderful on returning punts. Mueller is a great judge of plays, a possessor of fight and has ability to get all the drive from the players they possess. Stocky and a hard tackier, he is a good man, far too good to set on the sidelines. It ' would seem that the solution might be In playing Mueller at the quarter post on account of his ability -to judge plays and shift Miller to half back. He could play the safety position. J. -Dugan Is another tried and true Jwtlf back. Yeazel pairs up with him in fine shape. Captain Egan is at full and the plunging job is well cared for. 'Williams and Burnside form another pair t>f clever half backs of a (Uffercnt style of play, and' Cosgrove and Mazelin still another. Meeker and Kuebel form another set, afid Kirby is another. Griffin, Smith and Clehions form a group of understudys for Egan, find Commons and Amsden are a pair of sub quarterbacks. The big problem of selecting the leading ball carriers thus confronts anew coach, unfamiliar with their Individual play under fire. • • • The survey reveals Cathedral undoubtedly will have a good team this year. How good a machine Cathedral will be depends on how well the men are solved by the coach. It is going to take several games before Coach Sexton can judge the merits of the individuals and get them into their proper places. The schedule follows: Oct. 2.—Hartford City, here. Penney Park. Oct. lfl—Jasper Preparatory School, here Washington Park. Oct. 23—New Albany, there. Oct. 30—Garfield High School. Terre Haute, here, Washington Park. Nov. 6—Reitz. Evansville, there.

Spencer Abbott’s Kansas City Blues Invaded Washington Park today to make their last 1926 appearance in Indianapolis. A single fray was on with the Indians this afternoon, another “one" will be staged Saturday and on Sunday a doubleheader will be played. The Blues came in after the Milwaukee Brewers departed Thursday night, and by way of departing the Home Brewers knocked off the home talent, 13 to 6. Ferdie Schupp was buYnped off the mound and Dick Woodward, rookie twirler, got a greeting that sent him out of the picture later. Woodward was followed by Sindlinger?* a youth from Patricksburg. this State, who did very well by holding Cream City sluggers to three and no runs in four innings. 1 The Brewers took kindly to Schupp’s offerings and continued a mail pace when Woodward essayed to loss a few. “Woody” appeared unready out there in the middle of the diamond and he was withdrawn after a few rounds and Sindlinger finished. Chick Robert-son went the full route fori the visitors. Sindlinger earned himself a further looking over as the result of his performance and probably will be seen in action again before the season ends. The Brewers got such a big lead Thursday that Manager Bush "decided to try out a couplo of rookies. * THREE HOMERS ' The veteran Ted Cather. with Easton of the Eastern Shore League, wound up the season by making three home runs on Labor Day yjtthe pitching of Fulton Woods of, Dover.

RING EXPERTS.DIFFER ON JACK’S CONDITION

Dempsey Is No Longer “Play Boy,” but Serious Person ' Trained to Point of Tedium.

By Henry L. Farrell, . ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept. \V. Entering the last week of training for the defense of his heavyweight championship against Gene Tunney in Philadelphia next Thursday night, Ja?k Dempsey is beginning to show the strain of worry and tedium; he is no longer the big play boy of the ring, but a very serious person who has been trained to the point that little things get under his hide and sting where a hard punch hardly would be felt. Matt Hlnkel, millionaire Cleveland sportsman and a prominent referee and promoter, said that Dempsey looked great. "He hasn't lost 15 per cent slflbe he won the championship from Jess Willard and that day he was the greatest fighter that ever lived,” said

The Unusual Happens When Tilden Falls Before French Star, Cochet. Bu United press FOREST HILLS, N. Y., Sept. 17. —Vincent Richards today went intp I the semi-finals of t^je-National men’s I singles tennis championships, the •sole representative of the United j States. I One by one the three French igars | —Lacoste, Borotra and CoWet mowed down thebest tennis skill the United States could offer; they ctrtiek a crushing blow by Cochet's defeat of the great Bill Tilden yesterday: and today those three and I Richards made up the quartet from which two will emerge as finalists for. the American title, j Not In eight years has the sportj ing world seen such an event as took place Thursday when Cochet crushed Tilden. The tall, slender American, who never before had failed tp answer an opponent’s challenge in chainionship play since he ascended the -tennis throne six ago, made a gallant effort, but Cochst was too fast and strong. v r Tilden, with the score two all, went into the final set to win. He forgot his injured leg which had given him ti/iible. He became the Tilden who time after time has thrilled the stands with his tennis, saving himself from impending defeat. He carried the score to 4 all and then to 0 all. But that was the best he could do. Cochet was everywhere. There didn't seem to be a, place on the court where the Frenchman could not reach the ball to return It with amazing speed and accuracy. Tilden put all his power into his service, but Cochet shot the ball back with a cool deliberation that would have taken all the fight out of any one but Tilden. When the set ended 8-6 and. the champion had been dethroned, there/ was a cheer from the gallery, wild er than has gone up on most of the Tilden victories of the past. The crowd realized that Tilden had gone —but that he had made a glorious fight. Today Cochet was to meet his fellow countryman, Rene Lacoste, while Richards must defeat Jean Borotrh of France if the United -States is not to witness an allFrench final round.

Hinkel. “He has the same speed and the same punch and nothing else is needed.” Jack Skelly, veteran former feath erweight, he was disappointed in Dempsey. “He was 40 per cent off his Toledo form when he fought Firpo and he Is not 15 per cent the fighter that he was when he fought h irpo. He s gone back eve. 'way.” It Is not safe to Judge k fighter on one workout as they all have good days and bad days, different Ideas about training and different plans In trapping. Dempsey looks good physically and he's getting crabby enough to show condition. Dempsey admitted today he had been so annoyed by the remarks of customers at his training camp workouts that he decided to spend the last week of the grind in private training. He had Intended to bar even newspaper men and friends, and Tex Rickard sent down two of the famous gangster squad detectives from New York to help Dempsey’s two Chicago detectives keep the crowd away from him. Dempsey said he would let th scribes watch him every day except nqxt Tuesday. He said he wanted that day for himself. \ cry few of the experts agree on anything in this camp. Some of them coming from Stroudsburg say it is a shame to toss a nice fellow like Tunney into the ring with a killer like Dempsey, and others say Tunney will furnish the biggest surprise in the history of boxing. Some say tne trains will be pulling out of Philadelphia by 10:15, and others say the fight will go the limit. The opinion as to Dempsey’s condition is Just as widely diversified. Tom Gibbons, who fought fifteen rounds with Dempsey, said that Jack looked better and was working better than when he fought him in Shelby, Mont. It will be recalled Dempsey looked terrible when he was training that year in Great Falls.

UNUSUAL GOLF IS PLAYED Jones Beats Evans to Reach Semi-Finals —Von Elm Looks Good. I Bu United Press / SHORT IIILLS, N. J., Sep*. 17. —Bobby Jones and George Von Elm were favored to enter til* final round of the National Amateur (iolf Tournament af'-tijie conclusion of the first 18 holes of semifinal play today. A second 18-liole round was to be played this afternoon. Jones, defending champion, was 3 yp on Francis Ouiinet, Boston veteran at the end of the morning round. Playing par golf, Von Elm had things his own way with George Dawson of Chicago and finished the morning round 6 up. The Caliiornian had a medal score of 72. By Paul \V. White United Press Staff Correspondent _ BALTUSROL COUNTRY CLUB, SHORT HILLS, N. J., Sept. 17. i Georg* Von Elm g were looked upon today as the probable finalists for the American amateur golf championship of 1926. Jones, however, first must dispose of Francis Ouimet, a former champion and no mea!n qpponent, while Von Elm met George Dawson In his semi-final matffh. Ouimet and Jones have met twice before, with honors even. At the Engineers Club, New York, In 1920 Ouimet beat Bobby, 6 and 5, but that was six years ago. At Merlon - four years later, Jones had complete revenge when he humbled the Boston player, 12 and 10. Most followers of the game looked for an Interesting match, but Jones was an overwhelming favorite. Bobby was forced to fight his way into the semi-finals Thursday, when, after a long day of consistent play by both men. Chick Evans carried the champion along until Bobby finally won by 3 and 2 —not a wide margin for the Jones' band of golf. The veteran Evans made one of the most gallant fights of his career. Jones and Ouimet teed off soon after Von Elm and Dawson today. At the fourth they were all square. The Atlanta player, favored to retain tho title ho has won for two consecutive years, won the first hole with a none-too brilliant five, Ouimet requiring- three puts. ' < Ouimet came back and took the second with a beautiful birdie three. Tho third and fourth were halved in par. Von Elm and Dawson held even to the 126-yird fourth when the Californian became 1 up by captur- f lng a birdie two, a maslile niblick " taking him to within five feet of the cup. On the fifth Von Elm sank a 20 foot" putt for a birdie three, making him two up.
