By William Rocap
Eutern Keferee and Sport Writer.
FACK DEMPSEY cave Philadelphia ring fans an opportunity
I to measure and erauee his real
puncher. First he dropped the Battler with his left hand for a
count of nine. Then just to show that there was nothing the mat
ter with his right hand, he sent Levinsky to dreamland with a right
to the jaw and the contest was' over. It took Dempsey exactly
8 minutes and 25 seconds to make a boxer take the full count, who
up to that night had enjoyed an unsullied record.
Levinsky has been boxing in public since 1910, starting in this
city under the name of Barney Williams. In his early days he was
not much of a money getter, for the fans did not take kindly to his
evasiYe. defensive style. He journeyed to New York and placed him
self under the management of Dan Morgan. Now Morgan is not a
maker of champions, but he does know how to get the money. In
a twinkling he changed Barney's name to Battling Levinsky. It
acted like magic. Levinsky was immediately adopted as the East
Side champion in New York. . Matches and engagements began to
roll in and with them substantial purses. In a short time he was
one of the best propositions in the
Dan Morgan believes In having: a
fighter whoVUl fight and who will
not quibble over a few pounds. That
Is the reason Morgan and Knockout
Brown divided $140,000 between them
while their partnership existed.
Battier Kept Bnsy
Some Tdea of how Manager Morgan
carries Out his plan may be gleaned
from -the fact that Levinsky fought
11 battles In 1916 and 18 in the year
of 1917. Among his opponents were
Carl Morris. Gunboat Smith. Tom
Cowler, Jack Dillon, Billy Miske,
Tom Gibbons. Jim Coffey, Tom
McMahon, Gus Christie, Porky
Flynn, Harry Greb and a score of
lesser lights. Not one of these
could make the Battler take the
count. In fact, he won a majority
of these bouts on points.
This is the man whom Jack Demp
sey flattened for the full count. The
writer contended that two years ago
Levinsky could have boxed rings
around Dempsey, but on Wednes
day that if Jack Kearn's protege
would go in and fight he would stop
the Battler inside of three rounds.
The bout ran true to schedule.
Is Big Terry MeGovern
While Jack Dempsey is a great
fighter and reminds the writer of a
big Terry McGovern. tearing in just
like the late Terrible Terry, pack
ing a knockout blow in either hand,
he has no defense for a straight left
hand lead. His enthusiastic admir
ers must not forget that when they
are coupling, hi name with Cham
pion Jess Willard. The latter has a
wonderful left hand, shooting It out
straight and, with his great reach
and 240 pounds behind it, the blow is
a stiff one to take.
It is generally followed up by a
right hand uppercut. which has
force enough behind it to lift a 220
pound opponent clear of the floor.
It was these two blows that ulti
mately sent Jack Johnson to the
floor in the twenty-sixth round in a
Havana ring April 5, 1915.
Hn Made (amc a Stady
Iempsey is a bright fellow, has a
fertile brain and shows that he has
made a study of boxing. He should
study his lesson just one more chap
ter and cultivate a defense for a
straight left hand lead. He Bhould
learn either to slip the blow or parry
or block with his forearm.
There is noVhlng so disconcerting
as to have a fellow shoving his left
hand continually in your face. It
has often taken all the fight out of
a stout hearted boxer. In fact, a
clever man who knows how to shoot
his left out straight, the blow being
o timed as to catch an opponent
coming In, can soon bring the great
est of sluggers into submission.
Hat All Kssentlals ,
Jack Dempsey has all the assets
for a world's heavyweight champion.
He has height, weight, reach, hit
ting power and a heart as stout as
his body is strong. Today he Is the
peer of any heavyweight living,
white or black, excepting Jess Wil
lard. A battle between them would
be? the only way of deciding which
is the king. No amount of argument
will decide that. They must meet
in the ring. Dempsey is America's
nomination for the test, and when
conditions make such a bout possi
ble. 'Willard will have to consent to
a battle tr else retire and leave
the field to the young aspirant for
glory and ring fame.

Return to Giants
After' Army Work
Ross Toung, right fielder of the Giants,
and one of the "finds" of the recent
campaign, has entered an officers'
training school in Texas, and expects
soon to be graduated a full fledged lieu
tenant in the army. Young was born In
Texas, and began his baseball career
there. As soon as he quit the Giants at
the end of the season, he made arrange
ments to enter the army.
While many of the one time stars of
the diamond will be missing when the
sport is resumed after the war, Ross
Young is sure to be one of the Giants
when the local National league outfit
toes the mark in the next fight for the
pennant. Young will doubtless be a
major league star for years to come, and
McUraw makes no secret of the fact
he considers himself fortunate to have
such a promising youngster.
Baseball critics who have followed
the fortunes of the youthful Texan con
sider him one of the best outfielders de
veloped in the minor leagues in a num
ber of years. While in the service of the
Rochester club of the International
league Young was rated the best out
fielder in the organization, and he main
tained a high standard while pasUming

ALASKA TO
STOP RACE
FOR HUSKY
Two Classics of Frozen North
Abandoned Until Recovery
From War Conditions.
THE wideflung sweep of the world war
in us relation 10 spon nas peneixaiea
beyond the Arctic circle and the classic
dog derbies have been abandoned until
the return of normal times and condi
tions. The long distance sweepstakes
over the snow trails yf the Seward pen
insula have been canceled, according to
the plans of the Nome Kennel club. Thus
the winter will pass without either the
all-Alaska sweepstakes or the Solomon
sweepstakes. ' both formerly big events
on the Alaska sport calendar. Last win
ter only the Solomon , race was held.
Prizes Go to Red Cross
The all-Alaska prize money of last
year, together with the purses for this
year's race, will be given to the Red
Cross or some other war work fund.
Although the big races are abandoned,
dog drivers remaining in Nome for the
winter will hold several short Informal
race meets during the long dark months
coming. Possibly after the war the big
races will be resumed. Then, as in
other years, the eyes of the arctic sport
ing world will be centered on Nome
every April, when the malamutes leap
at the whip's snap and tug at their sleds
over the 412-mile all-Alaska trail to Can
dle and back.
Was Big la Betting
Thousands of dollars changed hands
on the races every year, it was said.
When Nome was at its height In the old
gold boom days, the Alt-Alaska- purse
amounted to $10,000. Pioneers say J200.
000 was wagered on the result one
year. Dog drivers sprang Into the sport
ing spotlight as a result of skill and en
durance on the frozen trails of the far
north. "Scotty" Allan. Leonard Sep
pala, John Johnson, Fay Delezene and
others became kndwn far out Into the
states by their -victories in the blgr races.

to his old position with the Mult

O'Connell will be missed greatly as
he had entire command of the in
tercompany contests and minor
athletics in general. He left con
ditions In good shape, however, so
that Hayward with the aid of
especially appointed assistants can
carry on the work without a hitch. -Hayward
will, take charge of track
and basketball ; R. L Riley, soccer
and other men will be .selected from
the S. A. T. C. to aid them in the
other branches of sport until the
football season is over, and Shy
Huntington can lend his assistance
whenever needed. Lieutenant Ed
ward K. Radcliff has been appointed-
by Colonel W. H. C. Bowen,
commandant of the unit here, to
take charge of the S. A. T. C.
athletics in general. Lieutenant
Radcliff is a former O. A. C.
athlete and can lend assistance in
many branches of sport.
Two From Each Company
He has had each company of the
S. A. T. C. appoint a director of
sports and also a head for each
j separate sport. These men will
hold regular meetings and outline
the schedule of intercompany con
tests and also see that "( the sport
program of each company is car
ried out. Every man in the S. A.
T. C. is required to take 1 some
form of athletics on Monday, Wed
nesday and Friday, from 4 until 5
in the evening. The branches of
sport in which the men are par
ticipating are: Football, soccer,

Will Donate for Supplies
According to plans set in motion
at a meeting of the various sport
heads Wednesday evening every
man in the S. A. T. C. will donate

that this fund be created as the

which will be made for the number
of soccer and basketballs and
boxing gloves that the enlarged
scale of athletics will demand.
Interest on the part of the men '
is growing with each contest. A
great deal of rivalry is being
brought forth and every man is
out for some sort of a team which
will represent his company against
others. The plan is working out
well and the athletic directors find
that the men enthusiastically turn
out for their company athletics
because of this rivalry.

8 to 0 and has been held to a

GRID COACH
WINS AFTER
LONG YEARS
John Heisman Finally Recognized
After Quarter cf Century Work
With Football Teams.
A FTER more than 25 years' service as
n lutiiui tun ll. J J I i f I , . firioiiian,
.. ..I- 1 IT If.!.-..-
the mentor of Georgia Tech's remark
able teams, is just beginning to get the
recognition which he so rfrchly deserves
ranking among the greatest gridiron tu
tors that ever lived.
Those who have followed the career
of Heisman from that day in 1892 when
he graduated from the University of
Pennsylvania and began teaching foot
ball, assert that he has introduced more
new plays Into the game than any man
who ever lived. Never favored with ;
material during all of his coaching years
that was valuable because of Its weight.
Heisman had to drill his youngsters in
trick plays to Insure victory for them.
Trickier Than Rest
Heisman has pulled more tricks on the
gridiron than any coach that the game
has even known. He was the man
who changed the method of snapping
back the ball to the quarter, who inno
vated a half dozen new styles of Inter
ference, who was the pjoneer In the use
of double and lateral passes and who
really can be called the "Father of the
Forward Pass." Before anyone ever
thought of the advantages of that dras
tic revolution in the game, Heisman ad
vocated it. He continued to espouse the
cause of the forward pass for three
years, and finally the footfall rules com
mittee harkened to his arguments.
Heisman has spent most of his time
coaching southern college elevenn and
always with ntjnarkable results. But he
began to taste the full sweets of many
years of patieat labor when he assem
bled teams at Georgia Tech that went
through three sesons without suffering
defeat, scoring 1129 points against 1 by
their combined foemen.
Loyal tn Flrtt Love
After Heisman had achieved the glory
of coaching three straight unbeaten
Georgia Tech teams 1915. 1916 and
1 117 many -oHeges in different sections
J of the United States made big offers for
1 bis services. But Heisman has remained
of I loyal to Georgia Tech and probably will
in I continue making . football history there

inasmuch as the teufelhunden will
ber of former Northwest stars antl-bc under the gridiron guidance -of
the spectacular, Indian coach, Lonestar Dietz.
Dfetz is almost as much of a drawing card in these parts as
the marines themselves, Lonestar having a penchant for knock -'em
dead sartorial displays. And if Bill should happen to show
up in olive drab or forestry green, won't there be a keen disap
pointment on the part of the fanettes. Dietz has never trotted a ;
football team out on the field in Portland, but the Portland fans
who make the annual hegira to Corvallis or Eugene know Bill
and his glad rags. Therefore it will be like old times to grab the
mitts of Bill and his gang. . ' '
This contest, which will start at
2 :30 o'clock, promises to toe the
hardest game any club eleven "has
had during the past three seasons.
Some of the Flayers
The Marine squad is composed of
players who have won fame for
themselves on the gridirons of the
Northwest. Standing out prom
inently among the members of the j
squad are : Benton Bangs, one of j
the hardest hitting backfield men
developed In this section of the
country, a player who. during his en
tire college career, was a noted
ground gainer : Jake Risley, center
of the University of Oregon team of
1916. champions of the Pacific coast
and victors over the University of
Pennsylvania team in the New
Tear's day game at Pasadena ;
Zimmerman, Washington State, one
of the best ends ever developed in
the Northwest ; Bill Steers, the great
leader of the Oregon team of last
year : Hanley. the wonderful little
quarterback of the Wf. S. C. team-for
. three seasons : Ixdell. a star of the
Oregon Aggies last year : Shandel
Ing. who played with the Mount
Angel team and who has developed
wonderfully under the tutoring of
Dietz.
Last year the Marines were un
beatable and thus far this season
they have not tasted the bitter dregs
of defeat. They have cleaned up on
the California teams to such an ex
tent that the fans don't flock out to
see their games, thinking they would
not get their money's worth.
Club Team I Ntrong
Tn Saturday's game the Ma
rines face a team that is composed
of players of some experience., Some
of the players have not played in
tercollegiate football, but are of a
caliber which could easily make any
varsity.
Included among the flub players
Are several men who have had col
lege experience. namely Harvey
Hale, who wan a member of the Uni
versity of Arkansas team three sea
sons ago : Fred Rehheln, who played
with Lehigh : Webster, one of the
stars of the Oregon-O. A. C. game of
last season.
Ire Motly Local IJy
The club tram this season differs
vastly from the aggregation turned
out. in seasons past. It is composed
mnstlv of local players. who hav twen
drilled as much as nrscttce will per
mit into a well balanced uniL The
conditions that confront a club team
are such that a lot of the prelimin
aries engaged in by college teams
are abandoned. The club men have
to work out In the evenlnrs. which
greatly hampers their chances of
perfecting plays.
Taking all this into consideration,
football fans who Rttend the contest
with the Marines will know that they
have sen a football contest, one In
whfch every inch of rronnd has
been hotly contested by both teams.
The club men have something at
stake in the contest, which at this
time cannot be mentioned.' it is said.
Two Kqaad Are Oat '
At the openinr of the feason the
club faced a difficult handicap lark
of plavefs. Now conditions have
changed. Nearly two full squads
have been reporting for practice and
tinder th supervision of Georsr
Dewey th team has been rounded
into an eleven capable of putting up
a regular game.
The club had a netback when
George Phllbrook had to tons up the
reins as coach and for three weeks
the boys were nursed along by Cap
