Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.—Now that; the return to ring activity ot Mr. William Harrison Dempsey has been touched up with a definite amount of definiteness these two questions insinuate themselves into

the picture: (A) Who he is going to fight? (B) Who can he whip? It is hardly necessary to ask a third question, viz., Why is he coming back? The answer to that is obvious. A half a million dollars is a half a million dollars no matter how , you get ito If Dempsey were half the, fighting man he

If.

Joe Williams

used to be he would sail through the current assortment of stumblebum heavyweights like a moth through a crepe de chine beard, but he isn’t and no one ought to be fooled on this point. a tt tt It might be offered in rebuttal that Dempsey needn’t be any better than a fourth of his old dynamic, destructive self to win from the opposition that exist;, which may or may not be si. Personally I don’t think the contending boys are that bad. tt tt n THE ••NATURAL” FOR DEMPSEY WOULD BE A RETURN BOUT WITH JACK SHARKEY. THAT REFINED, RETICENT AND RETIRING YOUNG MAN FROM BOSTON. tt tt tt SHARKEY gave the erstwhile man mauler a harder fight than did Mr. James Joseph Tunney for four rounds. He had him wabbling as early as the first round, and the chances are he might have won if he had followed instructions from his corner and boxed instead of trying for a knockout himself. tt n * The man’s stupendous ego wrought his downfall. Only one man, Jim Flynn, had ever stopped Dempsey in a real fight. Sharkey also wanted to win that distinction. He wound up with his chin in the canvas. tt tt a THE BOYS IN CAULIFLOWER ALLEY AGREE SHARKEY IS STILL THE BEST HEAVYWEIGHT AMONG THE CONTENDERS. THE FORM CHART ON HIM IS HE LACKS ONLY ONE THING—A FIGHTING HEART. THIS. IF TRUE. IS NO MINOR DEFECT. NO FIGHTER EVER ATTAINED REAL GREATNESS WITHOUT COURAGE PERSERVERANCE AND DETERMINATION. tt tt tt MR. DEMPSEY has always been noted for ruining the futures of men he has whipped. Willard was never any good after the Toledo fight. Some may say he never was any good at any time. I wouldn’t know about that. Miske, Firpo, Brennan, Fulton, Carpentier and Gibbons suffered permanent retrogression after bowing to the most terrific slugger the game has had since the days of Bob Fitzsimmons. tt tt tt How about Sharkey?. Did those three sickening body blows leave a lasting and crippling imprint or his fighting mechanism?. This is somching you can only guess at. On known form and relative abilities, however, Sharkey must be set down as the most dangerous man Dempsey may be called on to face. o tt a UNLESS YOU WANT TO RIDE WITH A LONG SHOT IN THE PERSON OF KNUTE HANSEN. THE DANE IS ANOTHER SHARKEY—A GREAT HITTER. A FRONT RUNNER, AND NONE TOO ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THE JOB WHEN THE GOING IS ROUGH. AND YET, WITH EVERYTHING BREAKING HIS WAY, HE IS CAPABLE OF FJGHTING A SPLENDID FIGHT. f tt tt tt 1 DON’T think Dempsey would have a great deal of trouble with Heeney, Risko or Paolino, provided he trained seriously and came into the ring in any kind of fighting shape. Heeney is a plodder with a wide-open style and a left hook probably would drop him early in the fight. COUNTRY CLUB GOLF The golf season will be closed officially at the Indianapolis Country Club Saturday when the membership plays for the Chalmers Brown cup.

Wisconsin-lowa Conflict Heads Saturday’s Big Ten Card

All Set for Butler Fray in New Bowl Bulldogs Expect Stiff Opposition From Scrappy Earlham Eleven. Everything is in readiness for Butler’s clash with Earlham in the new Bulldog bowl Saturday afternoon at 2. The “Fighting Quakers’’ will arrive in the city early Saturday, and the visiting team will trot on the field ready to send its strongest lineup against the Blue and White. Assistant Coaches Hinkle, Nipper and Hyde sent the Bulldogs through a stiff workout Thursday on a soggy field. The team was to be sent through a light signal drill this afternoon. Thursday the Bulldogs still revealed some difficulty in stopping Earlham forward pass plays as used by the freshmen. Should the Earlham aerial attack materialize Saturday the locals will be forced to use their speediest running attacks to offset any gains the Quakers may make. Old Conference Rule Threatens to Bar Me Lain By Unit?'! Prats CHICAGO, Nov. 16.—The ghost of an old Big Ten rule threatens to end the football career of Mayes Mc*.uin, University of lowa Indian full back, after this season. Before entering lowa, McLain played two years at Haskell institute for Indians. It is classed generally as a secondary school. This is his first year of eligibility at lowa, and he was expected to enjoy two more years. Now it seems many years ago—about 1904—a ruling was made in the Big Ten classing Haskell as a college insofar as football was concerned. Major John L. Griffith, commissioner of the Big Ten. said McLain could be declared eligible for two more years by a conference vote. Basket Officials Interpret Rules Bn United Press NEW YORK.

Pat Page’s Indiana Squad Plays Host to Northwestern. ILLINOIS AT CHICAGO Other Conference Teams in Minor Tilts. BIG TEN THIS WEEK Wisconsin at lowa. Northwestern at Indiana. Illinois at Chicago. Wabash at Purdue. Haskell at Minnesota. Michigan State at Michigan. Muskingum at Ohio State. BY DICK MILLER Four Big Ten football teams find themselves in action against nonconference teams Saturday, but the three games that do involve the other six teams are such that attract attention galore. Hoosier Big Ten followers will trek to Bloomington, hopeful that Pat Page’s cripples can be pieced together enough to down the invading Northwestern team. State fans are hopeful that this may happen, be- 1 cause the W.ldcaits only last Satur- ! day spoiled the hopes of Purdue for a high conference standing by nosing out a scant 7 to 6 victory over the Boilermakers. Three Stars Crippled Chances are not so good that Harrell and Reinhardt will get into the fray and it is hardly worth talking about to mention the chances of Randolph to play. Loss of these three stellar warriors certainly weakens the Pagemen. Three will not be many fans who sit in Memorial stadium at Bloomington Saturday who will not be discussing at every opportunity the game between Wisconsin and lowa at lowa. The Hawkeyes have been the surprise of the conference this fall, defeating Chicago, Minnesota and Ohio state and three other nonconference teams. Upset Notre Dame Wisconsin might be regarded as another surprise team. The Badgers first loomed strong when they upset Notre Dame 22 to 6. They were regarded rather lucky, however, to battle back to a tie with Purdue 19 to 19. All during thfit game Purdue was more or less the aggressor, but never able to hold its lead which was at one time twelve points. Wisconsin later defeated Michigan and last Saturday added Chicago to the list. Alabama, in an intersectional game, also was placed on the win side, along with North Dakota. Fans, however, favor the lowa team with the giant Indian full back, Mayes McLain, to win. Illinois fans await the annual struggle between Zuppke and Stagg. The Illini and Maroons battle on “the Midway again, in another of a long string of games between the two. Os late years Illinois has been the better team. Illini Overrated The Illini appear to be a team that the early season forecasters missed out on. They doped the Zuppkemen to win the conference title. Instead the Illinois team barely nosed out Indiana and Northwestern, lost to Michigan and last Saturday appeared none too strong against Butler. Minnesota should wir. its Satur- 1 day tilt with Haskell. Michigan likewise should tumble the Michigan State team. Muskingum hardly appears as a team with a ghost of a chance to upset Ohio State, and Wabash, the ancient rival of Purdue, is not expected to down the strong Boilermaker team. MANUAL VS.' BEN DAVIS Basket Squads Tangle Tonight at Washington Gym. Manual will meet Ben Davis on the Washington high school basket - ball court tonight in a contest that is regarded as a “tosS-up.” The Manual netters have shown improvement in practice. * Manual reserves will meet the Ben Davis seconds in a curtain raiser. WAIVERS ON WINGO /;*/ United Press DETROIT, Nov. 16.—Waivers have been obtained on Red Wingo, outfielder, and the Detroit Tigers will send him to the San Francisco club of the Pacific Coast League.

Several injuries early in the week De Pauw Tigers Fear Hard Bout With Normalites By United Press GREEN CASTLE, Ind., Nov. 16With prospects of one of the stiffeit games on the home schedule, the De Pauw Tigers will clash with Muncie Normal Saturday afternoon on Blackstock field. The annual Wabash tilt the following week-nd adds a further importance to the Muncie game as Head Coach Hughes will guard against any injuries to his regular squad by keeping his first string players on the bench the greater part of the fracas. De Pauw’s two backfields, used interchangeably in scrimmage, proved equally effective in gaining ground against the yearlings in practice this week. Scott in one back field and Blake and Van Riper in the other looked especially good with their passing. Lack of reserve line material appears to be the weakest point in sizing up the Tigers. Substitute linemen have received the bulk of Assistant Coach Oberst’s attention SHIFTS IN LINEUP WEST POINT, N. Y., Nov. 16. Many changes are expected to be made by Coach (Biff) Jones in the Army’s lineup for the game Saturday with Carleton.

KIMES RULED OUT Star Wabash Center Declared Ineligible for Rest of Season. Bn Times Special CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind.. Nov. 15.—A somewhat handicapped Wabash squad will invade Lafayette Saturday to tangle with Purdue. However, Coach Robert (Pete) Vaughan is optimistic. A crushing blow was dealt the Scarlet Wednesday when it was announced that Harold Kimes, star center, has been ruled ineligible for the remainder of the season. Caile will replace Kimes. Collins, star end, probably will not be able to play Saturday, along with a number of strong reserves who are suffering from injuries.

In the semi-windup will be Norman Brown, the Windy Ci2ty pug. He is to tangle with Cecil Hurt, who has been getting a lot of engagements out of town lately. Jimmy Harris and Chet Smallwood, in the top six, both are Armory favorites and can be depended on to furnish some thrills, while Jimmy Brown and Johnny Curtin, in the first six, likewise should prove good entertainment. Young Jess, who meets Kid Ziener in the opener, beat Billy Slovin in the first show of the season and later staged a great battle with Buddy Watts. Central Frosh Face Otterbein Indiana Central Greyhound basketballers will meet the Otterbein five Saturday evening at the Indiana Central gym. The invaders had a fine record last season.

The Dunkards are confident because of their 7-0 victory over Central last season and are coming down-state in full force. Indications are that the Greyhounds will give them plenty of fight. The Otterbein band from Dayton, 0., which plans to give a concert Saturday evening, probably will be on hand before the game and at the half period.
