r Football Reviews By Dick Miller
mHREE years ago Indiana Central College, then scarcely known to the athletic circles of Indianapolis, came through with a bit of publicity matter that told the readers of the sport pages its school was to have a football teanv the next fall and, moreover, was going to have a first-class football coach. The writer watched for the opening of school and then journeyed to University Heights, four miles south of the city on Madison Ave., where we saw some twenty-five boys engaged in practice on rougr acreage. Among the aspirants we located the new coach, John George, former Otterbein Star in the Ohio Conference. #He was hard at work teaching grid fundamentals, i'hat was the start of footbaal at the Central College. * * * r —4 HIS term forty-five men are' I out dally at 4 p. m. making i—efforts to get on the 1926 varsity. Instead of the same variety of students matriculating each fall, Indiana Central is now receiving students from high schools who have played on strong teams.. The statement of Coach George, on the first afternoon we met him three years agos “I do not expect to have cnything at all until these players seniors,” is running to the letLast year George maintained a *ovel scheme. His entire squad was advancing as an army. He used at least two men in every game, so as to get experience. Thus he made twenty-two letter men. Os these, Pence, Bright, Abrogast and Settle, all back field men, were graduated. Adams and Albright were lost ther same way and Reese, another backfield man, has been sick and is not in school. However, he has fourteen letter men to start with. New players in school have sent prospects higher. Central has no freshmen rule. One of the new men is Smith, fleet Lebanon (Ind.) High School star, who played brilliant ball under Paul Church. Smith is out for an end position on the Central team, and, in all probability, will play many games at that post. Bilby, a veteran, is out for the other wing position, York Eastridge and Bean are other likely candidates who no doubt will get in the fray each week. * * * SACKLES are mixed up in a hot battle for positions. George has some weight among the aspirants, and he also has some .speedy candidates. Rivir and Babbitt are battling for one position and Adms and Vance for the other. Anderson is another prospect and Reese still another. Captain Clarno has his place at left guard cinched. He was a popular choice for leader and is a real 'lighter. Big Emmert is getting more fight each year, and right now *vaging a stiff battle with Hottell mate position to Clarno. Ford and Cllpp also are engaged in the battle. The center that fits into Coach George’s style of play has not been selected. Nor will he be for some time. Hiatt and Long are logical choices, with Miller striving for recognition. It probably will be Hiatt. One bright spot met in the rebuilding of the back field wrecked by graduation is the entry into school of McClanathan, former Freeport (111.) high school star. McClanathan, while at Freeport, played on the championship basketball team, and also led the football team through two seasons of undefeated play. He is certain to be a valuable man at Indiana Central. Foley is another signal caller, who likewise is a good bar p’ayer That position seems fort'fie 1 M• m" and Turner appear to have the half back job edge. Both • T ;inV it punting daily. George is t pending no small amount of time in an effort to develop a kicker of known and steady quality. >* * mHERE is a battle on between McCormick and Bright for the full back job, and Hay ter is gaining in the battle. Garrigus, another Illinois player, is looming in the battle for half back position and Jones will be in the garfie many times. Adams is the kick-off min. Several of the backs can .pass, but must improve in accuracy. The team this year knows more fundamentals than any central team before. Most of men coming out for the team |Hjle had football experience. With athletic reputation growing, the Central College student body will grow and thus the teams get better. Laftt Saturday a young fellow named Smith entered school. He is a fast man, track Star, with a record of twenty-two feet in the broad jump. Such youths joining the squad make George begin to smile. The situation is getting nearer the light. • * • r-T-1 BACK field that will average | Zxl 160 can be mustered this Lm.. . J year. Past backflelds have scaled 145 or under. The line may not be as heavy, but will have weight. Three seasons is hardly long enough to build a team under the conditions at Indiana Central. We fan see a remarkable improvement, however. The season should be the best ever. Red Haviland, former player, is on the coaching staff. He will assist George In football, track and baseball, and head coach in basketball. McCracken, anew member of the facuty, is assisting with the line candidates. “Skull” practice is held each noon on rules. The team has a harder schedule this year than ever before.

SAINTS MOVE IN TODAY FOR FOUR GAME SERIES WITH INDIANS
NO FEAR IN CAMP OF JACK Dempsey Confident He’ll Escape Upset When He Meets Gene Thursday. , By Frank Getty, United Press Staff Correspondent PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 20.—The rising tide of revolution in the world of sport, which already in this fateful year has toppled half a dozen champions from their thrones, is sweeping relentlessly upon the threshold of the once impregnable fortress where Jack Dempsey, monarch of fisticuffs, holds sway. Before 130,000 paying customers in the big concrete elipse at the Sesquicentennial Exposition next Thursday flight, King Jack will command the- tide to recede. Not bein gthe literary party to this coming entertainment. Jack has not read about an ancient monarch,one King Canute, who tried something of the same sort with the tide of his day, and got his feet weV Scoffs at Danger The heavyweight king scoffs at the idea of this general cataclysm of crowned heads involving his own. His sceptre is his royal fist, with which he is confident of disposing of the pretensions of Gene Tunney, who represents the proletariat in this revolution, but who secretly has aspirations to become king himself. Dempsey's confidence that he is one champion who will not go down to defeat in this year which has seen such supposedly invincible monarchs as William T. Tilden and Robert Jones, Jr., dethroned, is based upon the condition to which he has brought himself after three years of idleness. Jack Appears Strong Jack believes he is as good as ever. Certainly he gives the impression of being able to batter Gene Tunney into submission or unconsciousness before the end of ten rounds. Sizing the two men up .after studying them at their preparations for this all-important half hour or less, one can only say that the champion appears the better man. But who would have given Gtorge Von Elm, the fair-haired boy from the Pacific coast, a look-in- with that stanch master of golf, Bobby Jones? Certainly the Atlantan was a greater favorite than Jack Dempsey is for the coming fight. One of his fellow townsmen was observed sorrowfully paying a bet of $7,000, which he had laid against SI,OOO, that Bobby would beat George. It so happens that this Tunney person is a thinker, and Gene has a fi.rm conviction that destiny is working in his corner. When Bill Tilden went down to defeat at Forest Hills, the challenger remarked: "Well, what do you know about that! It just goes to show that they can be beaten, no matter now good they think they are.” Gene’s Confidence Grows And when Bobby Jones succumbed to the brilliant golf of Von Elm and lost his amateur title at Baltusrol, Gene's smile broke from ear to ear. “Well, well,” he chortled, “we’ll just make that three in a week after I get to Philadelphia.” The experts,, the "trained seals” who have visited the camps and eold their signatures for thousands of dol'ars, declare that Tunney is talking through his new fall Fedora, ihd that all the tokens favor Dempsey's chances. There is unanimity of opinion, outside of Stroudsburg, where the challenger has begun his eleventh-hour preparations for battle, that Jack excels Gene in all departments except defensive boxing. Tiggerish Attack They recall the tigerish attack which Dempsey was wont to unleash upon his opponents in the days when he was fighting, 'and after observing that the champion is outwardly in splendid condition, they look for that same attack to beat Tunney in a few rounds. The three years of comparative idleness have taken some toll, but not enough to make Gene a match for Jack—so the experts say. But the challenger smiles his slow, confident smile and says: "No champion ever stayed out'of the ring three years and came back to anything but defeat. I’ll win.”
French Net Star Is Champ
NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—With all Americans' eliminated, including Tilden, Richards and others, Rene LaCoste and Jean Borotra of France fought it out Saturday in the Yankee national tennis tourney singles finals and LaCoste won, 6-4, 6-0, 6-4. The match was staged at Forest Hills, N. Y. The foreign victory was a heavy jolt to Yankee tennis folowers. France now possesses both indoor and outdoor American titles in the net sport. With the Majors Lou Gehrig. Yankee first baseman, led h s team to victory over the Cleveland In2,V', nR , Sunday by contributing a home run and two doubles. The victory placed the bankers three and one half Karnes ahead of Cleveland in the Amei'ican League pennant chase. , St. Louis Cardinals were nosed out W. the Ne , w P i;,ntß - 6to 5.

Allen’s Scrappy Team Here for Series —Bushmen Divide With Blues. Nick Allen's St. Paul Saints moved into Washington Park today to open the next-to-the-last series of the season and they will be here to oppose the Indians four days. Minneapolis comes Friday to help the Bushmen ring down the 1926 curtain, the end coming next Sunday. The Saints are a scrappy outfit and their struggles with the Tribesmen usually are filled with plenty of hard-boiled arguments. St. Paul finished third last year, but is a few places below that peg now, although always a tough club to beat. Nlvk Allen Isn’t worried about the future, however. He piloted the Saints to a pennant in 1924 and has been promised a contract for next season. Close With K. C. The Indians split the series with the K. C. Blues that closed Sunday. The Bushmen won Friday, 1 to 0, lost Saturday, 1 to 0, and split the Sunday double header, the Blues winning the afternoon opener, 4 to J, and the Tribe <rie wind-up, 4 to 3. Wisner hurled the first fray Sunday and Speece the second. About 5,000 fans were present and they say Byron Speece get an inside-the-park home run in the second struggle. The Tribe hurler socked the horsehide to the flag pcie. The Indians couldn’t hit in the pinches behind Wisner, but improved behind Speece. The Blues staged a dangerous rally in the final inning of the last fray and got to Speece for three runs after he had blanked them for eight stanzas. Boone Does Well Fans at Washington Park Saturday saw Carl Boone, youthful pitcher from Terre Haute, twirl a great game for the Indians only to lose It 1 to 0. He allowed only six hits and the lone run scored in the fourth on a walk, clean single and an Infield scratch safety that Miller knocked down but couldn’t hold. The Indians solved Lefty Warmouth for only three bingles and Boone got one of the three. Three K. C. double plays helped Warmouth tame the Tribe and a running, diving, shoe-string catch by Nicholson in the ninth killed off the Indians’ last chance, to start something. Ainsmlth w.Vs the victim of that catch and Sicking was the victim of a one-hapded stab by Pick early in the fray. • Boone, a right-hander, showed gameness, lasting power and fielding ’’skill. Considering the fact he jumped from Class B to Class AA, the lad’s performance was brilliant.

NO COIN ASKED TO SEE CHALLENGER GENE TRAIN Tunney Works Close to Nature, but Quality of Sparring Partners Is Not Good.

Atmosphere, egad,‘that’s the word. I had almost overlooked imparting to my readers the essence, the esprit d’ corps, if you prefer, of the training camps of the rival gladiators. But now I will undertake it. First, I will tell you about the Tunney camp.
heavy weight championship of the world, has been confiding to friends and casual visitors that he loved a place dose to nature where he could look at inspiring landscape, breathe mountain air with a scent of pines and read his books. And he certainly picked a place where he could do all those things when he selected the Glenbook Golf Club to prepare himself for his fight with Jack Dempsey next Thursday. The atmosphere here is much more refreshing and vastly different from the commercial attitude of Atlantic City and Dempsey’s camp. Jack Gets the Coin Dempsey, educated to commercialism by Jack Kearns, his former manager, charged admission to his training camp in the dog park at Atlantic City and although he barred paid customers for the Idst week of his training he made enough money to pay all his training camp expenses. Tunney refused to charge admission to those who wanted to see him train. Dempsey has two sparring partners. Tommy Loughran and Martin Burke, who could give Tunney a whale of a fight in ten rouhds and in Bill Tate, his pal for years, he has a sparring partner who has challenged Harry Wills as many times as Wills ha-t challenged the phamplon. The sparring staff that Tunnt>y has with him is just that. Bud Gorman, who was Tom Gibbons’ chief sparring partner when he was training to fight Dempsey in Shelby. Is the best man on Tunney’s staff, and Gorman, a fine fellow and a great football player, cannot hit. Tunney is training to meet a great hitter and he hasn't anyone in his camp who can hit him with any kind of force. Bigger and Fatter Tunney looks fine. He Is bigger and fatter than he ever was before because he had to build himself up above the poundage of a light heavyweight. 1 Today Tunney is probably bigger by dimensions than Dempsey, but he has this to figure—that Dempsey always has made his beSt fights against men who were so big he had to look up to them. Dempsey's greatest fights were against Jess Willard and Luis Firpo and he was a midget in comparison to them. Willard, however, could hit and so could Firpo—and Tunney can’t hit. Tunney gives the impression that he is kidding himself Into the belief that he has been ordained to be the next heavyweight champion of the world.
It has a decidedly intellectual atmosphere. And I felt right at home. I hope you will not think me conceited for saying that there is quite a sfrnilarity between Gene Tunney and his old commander in Belleau Wood—Major Hoople. A “Love Feast” * Both of us are thinkers, students, intellectuals, as well as fighters. For more than an hour Gene and I sat on the veranda of his quarters and engaged in an intellectual “love feast.” I told him just how Aristotle came to write “The Charge of the Light Brigade,” and then recited for him several of the finest bits of Abyssinian poetry, which, I must admit, is- decidedly my forte. I that Tunney's Intellectual atmosphere, has spread through his entire camp. You cannot find a water boy among Mr. Tunney’s following who cannot tell you who Tacitus was, and Pliny and many others who wrote long before I put pen to foolscap. The Occult “The Hindu contributions to the universal knowledge of the occult,” I propounded to Mr. Tunney. “Are you acquainted with their vast value?” The answer surprised even me, considering that I had written baffling articles for several of the leading occult journals of the age. * “Obviously, I have perused much of Karmi,” Mr. Tunney made reply. "Though as to transmigration, there you are treading upon subsoil, my dear Major, which has drawn the bandage of the esoteric across brighter orbs of vision than mine!” For the instant I confess I was nonplussed. A Punchy Autograph The environs of the Tunney camp are, of their very nature, rugged and simple. And. like the great trees in the forest, which whisper their secrets to one another, there is a plethora of undertone in the air of the Tunney entourage. Os course I have met some attaches of the place who were impolite. Indeed, the mantle of ignorance is a broad, broad cloak, egad, it is! One of them, referring to my autograph album, containing the names of such personages as Nikolai Lenin, Beerbohn-Tree. Rasputin, Vilhjalmar Steffansson, President Millard Fillmore and others, made some insulting remark about having Mr. Tunney autograph a punch on my nose. , This man seems to be the only “lowbrow” here.

C. matchmaker grabbing off the plum for which several lodal clubs were biddig—the return match between Wiggins and Metoqqah. / Fervent insistence on the part'of Chuck for another "shot” at Metoquah, who beat him at Ft. Harrison recently, and a willingness to work, on percentage without a guarantee were factors in making the match possible. Chuck alibis himself for his poor showing against Metoquah at the Harrison arena by saying he underrated Metoquah and consequently thought it a waste of time to train. He has promised the National officials he will train hard this time. George Mulholland and Jim Mahoney are two pugs one is accustomed to seeing in main events, but the chance to get on the WigginsMetoquah card, which promises to be a “sell-out,” was welcomed by both.
