' Previous to the fight In Toledo last
July Jess Wlllard went even further and
told Tex Blckard he could stick out bis
Jaw with perfect safety, to any man llv-
lna.'l,'.'i:'-;.iJ-:w;.,.f ' "
Rickard told the other day In support
of his belief that the supreme arrogance
of the former champion was not killed
in the Fourth of July tragedy and that
he wants to com back to prove It
Rickard also spoke of a little confer
ence that took place In WlDard's train
ing camp the night before the fight In
response to a message from the huge
Kansan, he went to the champion's quar
ters and found him stretched laxity in
a big chair.-;...!. -i.:?rt. j.

"Tex, I want you to go with me on a
big movie deal. . It would be better to
talk It ever tonight because you'll be
busy tomorrow and I want -to get away
Just as soon as I can after I finish that
bird," he said. :
There wasn't a doubt in his mind that
the morrow held anything but a quick
victory for him, Blckard said. 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." V- :
Blckard was being asked about the
prospects for winter activities In the
heavyweight circles..;": ,--:f"-
"Ton'll laugh, when I tell yon tws. but
Jess Wlllard la coming back." he said.
He then ran his hands in his pockets
and fished out a small pile of letters and
telegrams from. Wlllard and his former
manager, Ray Archer, asking for an
early date to talk over a return to the
ring. :
"Wlllard can't demand a match with
Dempsey," Tex said. "If he wants to get
back In the gome he might try a match
with Fred Fulton, who is returning from
England, That would be j. good match,
but X don't know that I would care to
handle it" ' - " V

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. '

VEW YORK, Dec. 20. 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 .

One Round Knockouts Not Popular
- H - H t H . kV 15 S tt t
Fans Want Money's Worth in Bouts
' By Jack Teloek,
- Interns tioftel Nrw Bportlnf Editor
NEW YORK, Dec 20. 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. With the clang
lng of the bell the pah- exchanged -a
few wallops, when Hawkins sud
denly whipped his coin-getting left

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

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.

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
