Dempsey’s Punch. Is It Gone? Football Ends. -By DICK NEUBERGEK J^VIDENTLY the years have ex acted their toll from Jack Dempsey. The punch with which the M a n a s s a Mauler battered the raging Firpo | to the canvas i that memorable night of more than half a gen eration ago was missing Thurs day when the greatest figure in American pugilis- * Jack Dempsey tic history falt ered on the comeback trail. The agility and drive that carried Jack to victory in his bouts of the old Tex Rickard era were needed sore ly as he dropped a four round de cision to a young Chicago fish peddler named King Levinsky. Twenty-eight thousand people sat in stunned silence as the lead ing man of the prize-fight indus try was knocked reeling by a pug not even good enough to be ranked as a possible contender for the ti tle now held by Max Schmeling. The ring-siders who voted the de cision to Levinsky were newspa permen. They were friends of Jack Dempsey’s. But Levinsky so conclusively proved his superiority that they had no alternative but to award him the victory. * * * In his story over the Chicago Tribune leased wire, French Lane said every member of the Tribune sports staff thought Levinsky had fought the better fight. * * * This brings us to the ques tion: Can Jack Dempsey come back? Levinsky was the first grade A fighter Dempsey met, and he proved too good for the i man from Manassa. If that hap- j pens against a pug of Levinsky’s caliber, what will take place if Jack meets Schmeling, Sharkey or even Frimo Camera? No, it looks as if Jack Dempsey’s prize fighting days are ended. When Jack Dempsey appeared in Portland late last summer, he knocked out three fighters of more or less questionable ability in double-quick time. But Demp sey most certainly did not look impressive in doing so. The thuds that put the boxers in Portland to sleep wouldn’t have jarred Mnnni Good-bye Campus! LAST TIMES TODAY .

Only conference basketball game sched uled for last night. Oregon Hoop Team To Meet O.S.C. Tonight Contest Will Be Played In Enemy Territory Third Place in Conference Standings at Stake In Last Series By BRUCE HAMBY The usual state basketball championship slips to one side as the prize for the winner of the Oregon - Oregon State series. To night the two rivals meet at Corvallis in the second contest to determine which shall finish the season in third place. The Web foots took the cap itonerts nrst game nere two weeks ago, 21 to 20. Both teams have three games left and at present are tied for third place with six victories and seven defeats each. Oregon State slipped back as a result of two defeats by Washington State early this week. Neither team has even a mathematical chance to finish above third place. Oregon Has Handicap Oregon will be handicapped se riously tonight by the injury to Captain Windy Calkins last week in the final Washington State game. Calkins hurt his ankle and has been kept out of practice all week. Coach Bill Reinhart stated last night that he would start Gib Olinger in his place, although Calkins is sure to play part of the game, at least. The Beavers will have Ken Fa gans, star forward, back in the lineup after a layout due to in fluenza. Carl Lenchitsky, tall guard, also will be on hand to check the Webfoots. The re mainder of the Oregon State line up will probably include Skeet O’Connell at the other guard post, Jerry Thomas at forward and tall Ed Lewis at center. Reinhart Warns Players During practice the last week Reinhart has been displeased with the showing made by the Oregon players. Since the two upset vic tories over W. S. C., he stated, the members of the team have failed to come back to earth and have not taken practice seriously. The Webfoot starting lineup probably will include Spook Rob ertson and Cliff Potter, forwards; Cap Roberts, center; and Hank Levoff with either Olinger or Calkins, guards. The game will start at 7:30 in the men's gym nasium at Corvallis. Tickets for the contest may be purchased at the associated students office at McArthur court. Louis Firpo, the wild bull of the Pampas whom Jack crushed in one of the greatest fights of all time. * * * Millions of people will be disap pointed if Jack Dempsey does not regain the championship he held for so long. He still is the great est drawing card in the business. Even as a referee, he can attract a larger audience than the aver age heavyweight contender can as a fighter. When Jack walked down the aisle at Portland, a roar arose from 20,000 throats that echoed and re-echoed from the hills back of Multnomah stadium like the reverberations from a battery of cannons. But Jack cannot expect to lose and still receive tributes like that. Those 20,000 people not only cheered Jack with their voices, but they also paid him with their dol lars. Dempsey’s appearance at Portland grossed him almost $10, 000, so there also was some mate rial value to the affair. I* * * * It will be interesting to see what Dempsey’s manager, Leonard 1 Sacks, will do next. Will he get the Manassa Mauler another fairly formidable opponent, or will he I start at the bottom and work up again? Time will tell. * * * Not much longer now and they will start to pick the all-north west, all-California and all-Pa cifie Coast conference basket ball teams.

He had indulged in some of the hissing and booing which he heartily frowns upon at the varsity athletic contests, when Clair Meisel, coach of the wrestlers, told him to desist in plain and understandable lan guage. Mr. Slocom then quenched his ardor and “canned” his outbursts. Campus Fencing Tourney To Start On February 23 Seventeen Aspirants Sign For Chance at Titles To Be Offered The annual all-campus fencing tournament will start next Tues day, February 23. Seventeen en trants are out for the three titles to be awarded, one crown to go to the winner of each of the rival ries in three different divisions, the foil, the epee, and the sabre. Several' aspirants have entered all three sections with the hope of capturing all three scepters. Other bladesmen have entered two and others one of the sections of the tourney. The drawings will be announced on the morning of the day the competition commences. Judges will be Warren Powell, coach of the fencers, and Louis Myers, in structor in romance languages. The names of the events and the entrants in each follow: Foil—Russell Tinkham, Edwin Pitt, John Caswell, Buck Nash, George Bennett, James Blair, Wil lis Ekblad, Thomas Emmens, Nor ris Porter, George Hibberd, Clif ford Stocker, Irvin Hill, and R. M. Tollefsen. Epee—Joe Bishop, Lowell An derson, Bill Anderson, Tinkham, Pitt, Cross, Caswell, Nash, Ben nett, Porter, Hibberd, and Hill. Sabre—Pitt, Bishop, Cross, L. Anderson, Caswell, Nash, Bennett, Porter, Stocker, Hill, and Hibberd. Levoff and Captain Winsor Calkins. A lot depends upon how they show against Oregon State in the remaining three games with the Orangemen. There are two lads it will be difficult to keep off an all-coast quintet. They are Jerry Nerner, the Southern California sharp shooter; and Dick Einthicum, the U. C. L.. A. guard. They have been consistently good in all their team's games. * * * Oh my, oh my, oh my! The bas ketball players apparently are be coming quite particular at the University of California. A recent story by William Leiser in the San Francisco Examiner said Ralph Stone objected slightly when Coach Nibs Price sent him into the game between California and Stanford. It seems the Bears were leading by about 15 points at the time and there were only a few minutes left to play, so Stone thought there wasn’t much use of his en tering the fracas. He finally went in, but did so with reluctance and evidently played as though he were making the most of a bad bargain. Incidentally, Stone was the husky young man who was virtual ly a unanimous choice for all-con ference footbell end last autumn. He and Rusty Gill, pile-driving fullback, were the outstanding players on Navy Bill Ingram’s eleven. Stone would be eligible this year except for a technicality. It seems that two years ago he and George Watkins, long-distance punter, appeared in a scrub game against the San Francisco univer sity reserves, so both lads are forced to sacrifice a year of con ference competition. The action was taken against them at the ! winter meeting of the Pacific Coast 1 conference in San Francisco. • * Even without the stalwart l Stone there will be some note worthy ends liack on the coast this season.

Blue Line TAXI Phone 272 Low cst Kates in City New Grid Rules Cause Different Bruin Sentiment Players, Coaches Display Enthusiasm for New Substitute Rules LOS ANGELES, Feb. 19.—(Spe cial)—Opinions differed widely to day on the Bruin campus regard ing recent drastic changes an nounced by the National Football Rules committee. The only sec tion which drew unanimous ap proval was the new substitute rul ing. Players and coaches alike were enthusiastic in its favor, feel ing that it would not only speed up the game by enabling coaches to keep fresh players in the lineup but would go a long way toward lessening injuries, and would per mit small squads to compete on a more even plane with numerical ly stronger teams. 1 A. J. Sturzenegger, speaking for the Bruin coaching staff in the ab sence of William H. Spaulding, head football coach and director of athletics, claimed credit for the Pacific Coast and Rocky Mountain Coaches' association for half of the new rulings passed by the na tional body. The western group at a recent meeting here, recommend ed the equipment, dead ball, and use of hand rules in substantially their present forms, and also went on record in favor of some change in the old kickoff regulations. While admitting the safety fac tors in most of the new statutes, players were firm in their belief that the rule prohibiting the flying block and tackle would result in wholesale penalties inasmuch as practically every player leaves his feet naturally. The dead ball rul ing, while it prevents piling will, they feel, penalize a man who ac cidentally loses his footing in a clear field or out of the reach of tacklers.

By ED GOODNOUGH The annual all-campus wrestling tournament is history now, and the fans who smothered yawns through most of the aimless tugging that went on during the week will not have another chance to get so bored until next year. Injuries and flu forced several of the best men to the sidelines and was re sponsible for many of the poor showings made during the tour ney’s progress. Big Frank Keltner and his will ing if inexperienced opponent, Chuck Johnson, put on the least monotonous of the final bouts yes terday. Keltner, displaying much better workmanship than he did last year, and was entirely too clever for the Marshfield long shoreman. He outwrestled Chuck during a hectic first round, and secured a fall in the second when the latter was worn down from his own efforts and Keltner’s man euvering. Clark Wins Easily Howard Clark easily won his heavyweight /bout with Howard Lewis, keeping the latter’s nose on the canvas throughout the ma jor portion of the first round and quickly dumping him in the second when Lewis got over-anxious. The tussle was rather slow, Clark’s skillful "riding” in the first ses sion being the only outstanding spot. Bob Nunn and Charles Martin were kept out of the finals due to injuries so Tom Mountain and Ray Clapp, their scheduled opponents, put on a clever exhibition bout. Mountain was an easy victor but the much lighter Clapp put up a game, resourceful stand, forcing Mountain to his utmost. This ex hibition brought out the best all around wrestling of the otherwise drab week. Burke Takes Decision Norman Burke and Otto Von derheit locked arms and shoved each other around the mat most of their time on the mat, Burke man aging to sit on Vonderheit long enough to edge out a decision by virtue of one and a half minute's Freshman Swim Squad Conquers Varsity Natators J Duckling Mermen Victors In Dnul Competition By Tally of 49-35 The Oregon freshman swimming team beat the varsity natators in a dual meet last night in the wom en’s pool by a count of 49 to 35. The varsity aquatic stars were se verely handicapped and in most of the events could not make up the obstacles in fast enough time. Willie Paul of the duckling com bination was high point man of the evening, his harvest being eight tallies. Bob Needham led the scor ing parade of the varsitarians by garnering six markers. The swimming teams are slated to put in some real work this next week in preparation for the dual meet with the Oregon State aquat ic aggregations to be held here next Saturday, February 27.

John Ruttencutter and Wallace Miller also had difficulty in getting down on the mstf/ but Ruttencutter was on top during the few occasions when they did hit the canvas. The Doc Kelliher-Charles Nicely scrap for the 165 pound title pro vided the boys a nice, gentle workout, which drew a big hand from their fraternity brothers. The rest of the crowd enjoyed a short nap while the men leisurely scuf fled around, Kelliher appearing able to throw Nicely at any time he chose. Referee Earl Boushey, subbing for Clair Meisel, did a good job of officiating, while the of ficial timer, Henshaw Nigh, jug gled enough figures around to be responsible for several of the close victories.
