HARVARD COACHES
FACE SEVERE TASK
Gridiron Material Light and
Inexperienced;
PROBATION ALSO HURTS
Of 2 4 Men in Yale Game Last
Year, 12 Expected Back; One
of These May Not Return.
Br HUGH FULLERTON.
By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
CAMBRIDGE. Mass.. Sept. 13.
Harvard, assembled for the first
time for preliminary football In
struction, discovered that the
coaches face a severe task in form
ing: a strong team from the1 ma
terial at hand.
Extremely light at ends, both in
material and -weight, with the
tackle problem badly muddled, the
crimson realizes the severity of the
losses suffered through graduation
and by probation. Only two of the
regular linemen of last year are
back. The first string subs of last
year are reduced through proba
tion, and the line must be shifted
and reinforced. Of the 24 men who
were in the Yale game last year, 12
are expected back, and one of these
may not return.
Large Sqnnd 'ot Cheering
The fact that the Harvard squad
is one of the largest in history is
not as cheering to the coaches as
the numbers might Indicate. The
coaches declare the end and tackle
position candidates are- extremely
light, the products of last year's
freshman squad light but fast, and
the new material drafted from
other branches of sport not promis
ing, save In the case of Eastman,
heavyweight wrestling champion,
who is out for one of the tackle
positions. Eastman is fat and too
heavy, but the coaches have ex
treme hope for him.
The news that Fitts, star back,
was married during . the summer
and probably will not return to
school was dampening to the
hopes, but the coaches are worried
about the line rather than the back
field. Of the more than 100 candi
dates expected out at first call, not
' fewer than 21 probationers and
some of the best material must
work off conditions before becom
ing available .for the team.
Coaching Force Best Assembled.
However, the early pessimism at
Harvard fails to take Into account
the magnificent squad training ac
corded last year's squad and the
fact that, under the Harvard sys
tern, there has been assembled one
of the greatest coaching forces ever
gathered to teach the candidates
special duties. Each coach is pledged
to devote his time to the coaching
through the entire season. Those
who cannot give all their time are
to be used only in consultation.
Coach Bob Fisher will, of course, be
in charge. Eddie Mahan is to drill
the kickers. Macomber will in
struct the ends, aided by Sousa;
Sedgwick, the tackles; Woods, the
guards; Parmentier, the centers, and
Babe Felton, the quarters, with Tack
Hardwick and the veteran, Percy
Haughton, aiding and joining Coach
Fisher and Captain Charlie Buell in
strategy.
Of the veteran material, Esky
Clark, center, and Charlie Hubbard,
right guard, are fixtures, although
there is a chance Hubbard may' be
shifted in the line, as the guard ma
terial is stronger and strength Is
needed at tackle. Tubby Grew and
Joe Hartman, guard and end. are of
the first subs and are considered
as leading candidates.
Sub More of Problem.
Captain Buell and George Owen
are considered firmly intrenched in
the backfield, where the second
string subs are more of a problem
than the first lineup. Fitts is in
doubt, and . probably will not re
turn. His loss, added to the loss of
Gratwick, Hovey, Don Angler, John
son and Conlon by graduation hurts,
but Winnie Churchill and Vin Chap
in are seasoned. Phil Coburn, who
improved so much last fall he was
started against Yale, is a hopeful
prospect.
At center, Clark is fixed, with
Jlolder and Codman fighting for the
Tirst chance. Codman, center of the
freshman team last year, is fast and
strong. Greenough is considered a
fine prospect and may be shifted
outward. At tackle the loss of Cap
tain Kane and the fact that Al Ladd,
first string sub, is a crew captain
and not expected out for football,
and who besides, is a probationer,
leaves the situation open. Tackle is
more of a problem to the coaches
than anything else. McGillan, the
freshman tackle, is very good, but
light.
Eastman In Hope.
Eastman, the wrestler, is the hope
of the coaches for tackle. He has
weight. Is fast but fat and must
come down. At ends Crocker and
McKlm were lost; Hartley, who
subbed in both the big games last
fall, looks good and LaFarge is
promising. Grew, a strong sub last
year. Is good, but he is fat and
unless he speeds up may not make
it. Dunker, the freshman tackle. Is
promising and there Is always a
Hubbard this one has been under
fire and is promising. i
Buell. of course, will lead the team
from quarter, an experienced man,
and he promises to become one of
Harvard's historic field leaders. Leon
Howe has shown capabilities. Blake,
the freshman quarter, looks well
' from his prep school.
Owen, Churchill, Chapin and Co
burn lead among the backfield men.
Coburn once was a guard and may
shift back to the line where weight
is needed. Gehrke is one of the most
pj-omising backs he broke his cheek
bone last year and has an extremely
bad knee which slipped out of place
last season and wrecked his chances.
Hammond Promising Punter.
The most promising of the kickers
is J. Hammond, who is reputed to
be a coming star. He can both kick
and pass and may be used in the
goal in one play after touchdown
situations. The kicking problem is
not worrying Fisher. He has five
kickers. Jenkins is considered one
of the strongest backfield candi
dates. Neither Fisher nor his assistants
will make any definite statements
regarding team prospects. They say
frankly they d6 not know how the
toam will compare with last year's.
They cannot tell how it will shape
up until necessary shifts and rear
rangements are made.
However, after looking them over
don't worry; Harvard will have quite
a, football team, regardless of lo3ses.
There are 26 fellows on the squad
whose prep school and freshman rec
ords make them excellent material.
However, it looks light. A list of
the more promising aspirants for

ARTICLE II.
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
EW YORK, i Sept. 4. Jack
Dempsey, deceiving, seem
ingly wide open, looking easy
to hit, really is one of the most dif
ficult heavyweights to hit effec
tively. His style (not the style, by
yie way, he used In the first two
rounds of his battle with Carpentier,
but his real style, which he used
after Georges socked him on the
side of the face) is more deceptive
than sheer speed ever could be.
You will find in " studying both
Dempsey and Harry Wills that in
each- case the defense consists
largely of attack. Both men rely
on their strength, both press battle,
bore in steadily and eeek to get to
close quarters. In such a style of
attack it would seem that defensive
precautions are thrown to the wind.
Head Slightly Tilted.
IiT the case of Dempsey, however,
this is not true. His true style is a
two-thirds crouch, his head held
slightly to the left, his Jaw well
covered by his shoulder, his elbows
close to his body and arms hefd well
in front. But his great strength is
in the peculiar weaving motion of
the head and the body above -the
waist as heladvances.
The head and body away slightly
from side to side. Big Jack Thomp
son, who works with Dempsey in the
rough work, laughed and remarked:
"Mister, that man is the hardest
man to hit in the world. I can hit
him, but he ain't never where you
think he is. I miss him closer than
any boxer I ever met. He just
moves his jaw half an inch and
when you miss sowie you get it."
Taylor, the rather clever and
rugged darky who has worked with
Dempsey more than anyone else,
said: "I hit more elbows and shoul
ders and tops of head boxing Jack
and fewer Jaws and bodies than
anyone in the world. He looks so
easy to hit when he is coming at
you that it Is a temptation to cut
loose and bust him but don't be
tempted, mister he is the fastest
man with his eyes and hands .you
ever saw. He Just lays his jaw open
tor you to hit and when you lead he
beats you to it."
Wills Wide Open.
Wills, on the other hand, is wide
open at many times. He depends
largely on his left for his defense.
and against weaker men he scarcely
tries to cover up, depending upon
driving them back with the low
swinging and side-swinging left that
has crippled so many and made
them helpless. He fights rather
high, but covers the Jaw fairly well,
save when he opens up to deliver a
hard punch. At that time both Jaw
and body are unprotected.
Neither man is a long-range
fighter. At that style of milling
Wills might have a shade because oi
his long reach and his sharp shoot
ing left. Wilis seems to lack de
fense for long-range work. Even
the poor dub Tut Jackson could hit
him in the face and body while at
range, but perhaps Wills did not
care beyorrd getting him to lead and
then slamming him with the lefU
Both Close-in Fighters.
It is at close quarters, where both
Wills and Dempsey excel, that, the
wide divergence in style shows.
Dempsey fights very close in, al
most body to body, and in gettins
close he does not leave either body
or Jaw unprotected. He is still close
hauled, elbows In. body well cov
ered, and to launch his deadly blows
he does not need to open up at all.
His most effective drives to tha
body are delivered with short
drives, traveling scarcely more than
ten inches and with an ' upper-ripping
movement. It requires terrifia
forearm power even to check themt
and after he hits the body that way
he rips the blow on through the
protecting arms of an opponent and
drives the fist on upward. In the
Carpentier affair he tore these
blows through Georges' forearm de
fense and frequently the same blow
that landed on the body ripped up
to the chin and shoved that back.
An opponent striving to retaliate
at the head finds that held low, so
that he hits the top. or side of the
head Instead of some tender spot.
During the terrific body punishment
that Bill Brennan took from Demp
sey Bill tried to. hook over his right
to Jack's Jaw at close quarters and
hit him eeveral times, but never ef
fectively, while each effort brought
a crashing left into his unprotected
ribs.
Wills Defense Peculiar.
Wills at close quarters is wide
open. To launch his hard body and
kidney punches he is forced to lift
his arm high and bring it down with
a clubbing motion; a terrible blow,
but one which leaves his own body
wide open.
Wills' defense at close quarters
has been a peculiar one. In the
close work he continually shoves his
left hand under the arm pit of an
opponent and holds, while trying to
make the referee think the other
man is clamping the arm to prevent
punishment. Then with his left he
pulls the body of the opponent
around and delivers terrific punish
ment with his right.
In the next article we will study
the attacking systems of the two
men, contrasting tneir styjes ana
methods.
Annual Affair Reveals Embryo
Champions In Snappy and
Fast Matches.
Embryo tennis champions came
into their own yesterday afternoon
on the Irvington club Durts with
the annual boys' city tennis cham
pionship for the Percy W. Lewis cup
getting under way with 32 youthful
players in the lists.
Only one out f the 16 scheduled
matches went by default, which is a
remarkable thing in tennis. The
matches brought out some great
competition among the little fel
lows, some of whom were not much
bigger than their rackets. The
tournament is limited to boys not
more than 15 years of age.
Richard Hoogs, winner of the
Percy W. Lewis cup and the boys
title "last year, is not in this year's
tournament, having outgrown the
division. However, Bob Hoogs, a
younger brother, is upholding the
honor of the family and got off to
a flying start yesterday by defeat
ing A. Lawrence, 6-1, 6-4. W. Shear
er won from B. Smith by - default,
the only match to go through un
contested. The match between
Phillip Dick and Jack Caplan was
called off because of darkness after
two sets. It will be played off this
afternoon.
Play will start this afternoon at
3:30 o'clock. The 16 winners are
all asked to be on hand at the Irv
ington courts by that time. Frank
E. Harrigan is in charge of .the
tournament and is putting it over
in a very successful manner. Mr.
Harrigan has handled the affair
since its start several years ago. It
is becoming one of the most popular
events for the younger players.
Yesterday's results follow: Charles
Burton beat Cable Hunt, 6-3, 6-4;
Bob Hoogs beat A. Lawrence, 6-1,
6-4; Stanley Jaloff beat Maurice
Simmons, 7-5, 6-4; W. Shearer won
