He laughed at the fears expressed by bis friends that he hadn't conditioned himself. "Why should I run miles over the road. I won't need my legs. X can stand and take all he's got" Wlllard said. In reminiscing, Rickard brought out a point In the fight he believes was gen erally overlooked. He declared Wlllard was Just as close to being knocked out in the third round as he was In the first eventful frame, when the bell saved him. WAXTS EARZT SATS " "The gong saved him again In the third , round," the promoter said. He was so near gone when he reached his corner that he. flopped down before hie seconds could get the chair under him. They held him up until the seat was rustled between the ropes."

Football Expert By Test Taerp , tTrittsa for International News Serriee TUB quality of defense of most of the big elevens of the Bast dur ing the football season just ended was worthy of much praise. In only one or two instances did the defense fall below the standard, of the at tack. In a majority of cases the strength of the defense proved the t redeeming feature of the team's. , playing: - No team was so weak on : the defense that an opponent could ,galn vat will. Very few- large scores were tallied. ' DOBIE'S TEAM SETS MARK Tp the Navy fell the honor of ' running; up the largest score. GU Dobie's Annapolis lads - vanquished Colby, considered in former seasons strong eleven, by the one-sided score of 122 to 0. This was the . . . only: Instance where the defense was so poor that it crumbled. : The strength of the defense speaks volumes for the grade of coaching that the candidates for the rush . lines and extremity - positions . re celved. Most ' of the football : au- thotitles contend that a team's de-. fense Is just as strong as its rush line Is aggressive. If such la the . case then the finest rushllnes of re--.- cent years were developed during ,- the last season. . e - - In developing a rushUne it is ab ; solutely necessary to have a squad of fighters. A back who is not ag gressive may get away with his - game. However, no player on the ' first line of, defense can lack ag gressiveness and not become the mark of the . opponents.

Georges Carpenter's stock as a heavy weight battler of class has risen sky ward since he flattened Jrie Beckett in seconds. '.'' W The i shifty Frenchman proved be yond the shadow of a doubt that he la a longi long way from the pugilis tic 'boneyard, and he deserves the praises that .are beinir showered upon him.'- : " u ' His victory was popular because he was the underdog. He was outweighed by Beckett and went into the ring a sec ond choice In the betting. Then, before a minute of the first round had passed, he delivered the punch that put the Briton down and but and keot Georees' 1 crown as heavyweight champion of Eu rope nicety Daiancea on.nts brow. . -WAS JIOT TEST ; The battle, however, sensational as It was, did . not ' furnish anything that looked like a test for the Frenchman. Beckett might just as well have been occupying a seat at the ringside for all the opposition he furnished. . Georges, therefore, cannot be hailed as a world-beater; and so far as the American ' flstio fan la concerned he stands Just about where he did before. The fact that he proved that he Is sot in the has-been class is a source of sat isfaction to the bugs on this side of the water..) The public can now feel reason ably, sure, that Jack Dempsey will meet a worthy opponent In the Frenchman, regardless of whether or not he sizes up as an opponent of dangerous capability. X. O'ED GODDABD w Joe Beckett's 'showing . against the French' idol indicates that England must look long and hard for a worthy suc cessor to Jem Mace. Beckett was the best of the British heavyweight lot He won his right o the British, title by knocking out Frank Goddard, an even slower pugilist than himself, whereas he proved as putty In the hands of the fast-moving, hard-hitting- Frenchman. . v When Carpentler " ultimately j faces Jack Dempsey, he will come in contact with a veritable 'whirlwind of action embodied in a fighter who le taller and heavier. Carpentler may be a better boxer than Dempesy, as some contend. He may have more science. Tet the fact remains that Dempsey has never been marked up by any of his opponents, and his style of . attack is so fterrifie that science on Carpentier's part will very probably be devoted to protecting himself against the rushing whirlwind from Salt &ake, ' ACCURATE WITH PTJ5CH Can Carpentler stand the fast pace that Dempsey will sett After four years of inaction in the ring, it stands to rea son that Georges is not as good as he was before the war; yet how far he can go is still a question in doubt 'His fight with Beckett proved nothing eJong this line. . 'r - -.f'-':''--:'--i. -Dempsey, though. essentially a fighter, is no slouch for cleverness. His defense is strong, and in putting It into effect he does not give ground. Neither does he lose his balance for attack. His weaving, rushing style will be something altogether new to Carpentler. It is, in fact new to. heavyweight boxing, for there has never been a heavyweight champion whose :. style has matched Dempsey for either speed or punching power. The deep students of boxing tell us that the fellow who is a sixteenth of a second faster than his opponent is the man who generally climbs to the heights of fame in pugilism. So far Dempsey has displayed that sixteenth of a second advantage in speed . by beating all his opponents to the punch. And he has deadly accuracy with it . Defensive Teams t ft ft K ? Praises Coaches most cases he is buried in the heap, whereas the work of the halfback V sticks out .. This fact alone Is suf ficient to make the ordinary line-' man let up In his work when he be- - r gins to tire, under the strain of t ; battle. ,'i .; -? v " . : The Navy forwards compiled the 1 best record ., of the season by the ' fine stonewall ' defense that they' put tap against their army rivals at the Polo Grounds . recently. It has . been years since either of the ser- - vice school teams mustered enough , strength to shut out an opponent .. without a single first down. In fact it is beyond our recollection s when any big eleven displayed such v ; a magnificent -defense against sup 'posedly good offensive. strength. Be--cause of their aggressiveness and fine game against such odds the r.

One-round knockouts in fiatlo battles of first Importance have not been frequent, and It goes without saying that they are highly unsatisfactory - from the standpoint of the spectator. . In modern ring history, during a period of the last 30 years or so. there have been a few one-round victories in bouts that meant much to the pugs who answered the bell. Back In 1895 Joe .WaksoU, un doubtedly one of the best welter weights that ever lived, get his chance at the title when he met, Matty Mathews. Mathews was a rugged h fighter. So was Walcott, though the .other was also crafty and packed a wallop that carried untroubled - slumber tn Its wake whenever the ebony boy was able to land It fairly. Idathews and Wal cott met for the world's 'welter title and in less than three minutes Walcott had his man down and out, cold as a mackerel. , VMAHEB'S BISX TO FAME . BeterMaher, who. like Tempsey, had risen to fame through a series of one-round victories, defeating such men as Steve O'Donnell, Joe God- -frey.'Gus Lambert and Mike Mor- ' risBey, , was matched to meet Bob Fitzsimmons in 1894 and the bout was originally slated . for Hot Springs, Ark. "Later, owing to a clash with the authorities, it , was transferred to, Mexican soil, across the border from Langtry, Texas, where the men got together on the arid eand. Neither fighter was in the best of shape for this battle, but Maher was the worse for wear after , being driven from pillar to post by the authorities of a number of towns. Fits waded right into his man with the first tap of the gong, dropping bim for the count after de livering . several stiff jolts to the Jaw. -,,? ;. In 1897, as a preliminary , to the Fitxsimmons-Corbett battle at Car son City, Dal Hawkins and Marty Flaherty climbed through the ropes to fight for lightweight honors and as both were rated among the fore most 133-pounders of their day, In-, terest in this preliminary bout was widespread. - Hawkins had one punch that was a darby-j-a '- left hander to the jaw.

George La Blanche, who rushed, intd the spotlight when he knocked out the original Jack Dempsey with a pivot blow, crawled through the ropes to battle Kid McCoy in. 1897, but remained there only long enough . to take one of the ' Kid's very choicest' punches and the count of ten which followed it. . j BAlmeb goes Dowar! - It was in 1900 that Pedlar Palmer, champion British A featherweight, .came to this country seeking glory. ' Palmer was heralded as One of the most wonderful boxers of his time, . but in Terrible Terry McGovern he met his Waterloo, and that in one ; round. Terry rushed from his cor ner, beat down the Britisher's guard with a veritable avalanche, of blows and the famous battle of Tuckahoe was over. j . ..-f; In 1902, at Fort Erie, Joe Gans disposed of Frank Erne, then light weight champion, in the first round, feinting with., his left and crossing Erne to the Jaw with his right as Frank stepped id to meet him. This happened after: Erne, had beaten Gans in New York. M ELLS TAKES COTJJTT Georges Carpentler, Who recently disposed of Joe Beckett in 50 sec onds, treated another British cham pion in the same manner. At Gben, Belgium, in 1913, Carpentler won the European - title from Bombardier Wells in four rounds.; In December of the same year he gaVe Wells a return match In London and dis posed of him. In one round, i Jack Dempsey, the present world's champion, v earned the -j undeniable right to meet, Jess Wlllard for the title when he. chucked Fred Fulton under the chin at Newark,: N. J a little over a year ago, and swept the last obstacle from his pathway to ; Wlllard's front door.. The writer re--calls that a ringside spectator who' turned to a man behind him to bor row a match missed the -knockout on this occasion. He was one sore bird. ' - i " ' V. , : A one round knockout that result, ed fatally occurred in 1911 when Art Pelky met Luther McCarty at Cal gary, Alberta. McCarty was just blooming forth as a likely opponent for Jack Johnson when he met his untimely end, for he never regained, consciousness : after Pelky ' dropped him with a blow to the. jaw. Several Coaches ; Being Considered Famous athletlo coaches mentioned as possibilities to guide the preparation of the ; United States ; athletes for the Olympic 'games at Antwerp next year are: Lawson Robertson, University of Pennsylvania track coach ; Jack Moak ley, who holds a similar position at Cor nell, and Captain Moloney of California, who, coached the American athletes that competed 'in : the inter-alUed games: at Paris last June. - , J I ORTEGIS IN SHAPE FOR BOUT San 'Francisco Battler to Put Up Best Possible Against - Local Boxer. . TATTHNG ORTEGA," tba San Francisco middleweight boxer, and Jimmy 'Darcy. the local battler, will settle their differences Tuesday night when they meet in the main event of the Portland Boxing com mission smoker in the 'Armory. - The contest Is scheduled to go ten rounds and should be one of the best of the present season, despite the fact that Darcy lost to Tommy Gibbons last Week in the main event of the Mtlwaukle smoker. . ; , . ,;, IS THIED MEETING ' e, ' -!: This ill be the third meeting between the. two ringsters. the Mexican having two four-round victories to his credit. Darcy will be In better snap when he faces Ortega this time than he. was In the bouts staged in the southland. Jn his last bout with Ortega, Darcy started out like a whirlwind, but weakened near the close of the second round and lost. Darcy demonstrated that he. was in great shape In the Gibbons bout by the manner in which he finished the contest. Eddie Kane, manager of Gibbons, spoke very highly of Darcy after the Milwau kle smoker. '"Darcy Is a pretty tough battler," - eaid . Eddie and he dught to know for he has been mixed in the ring game for 17 years. . - , SHOULD BE 6 BEAT BOUT , This bout will be a different kind of a battle than the Glbbons-Darcy affair. Darcy knows Ortega's style pretty good and Is willing to take a cnance at mix ing it with the-Mexican.-who. It Is said, likes the going when it is .the roughest. No boxer has been able to make Ortega back no -vet. which is saying quite bit when it Is taken into consideration th a. number of other Mexicans who have been in the ring- were rather timid. This is especially true 14 thecase of Aurelia Herrara. Ortega's style is a treat to watch. He la wiiiina- to take a punch or two in order to lead one. He is an aggressive fisrhter and Is uo and sroing all the time. He needs very little work to put him on edge' for the contest j MITCHIE BEADT TOE BELL . The semi-wlnaup between Freddie Anderson and Peter Mltchle should be a bear of a ten-round event. . This will be Mitchle'e first appearence - la two months, and It is said that he Is ready to put up the battle of his Ufe. Anderson has been training steadily 'and is in grand condition, -according to Ad Oar lock. K. O. Williams, a Seattle feather weight, and i Neal Zimmerman, the latest local ring sensation, , will meet in a six-round special event.
