" SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 23
(AP) 'Football , gets under way
In th tar west tomorrow for a
season which earfy reports' Indi
cate will be packed with thrills
by its closeness of play, fierce
competition, and the keenest in
terest already manifest.
Led by Stanford, 192$ cham
pion, six of the nlnecoast confer
ence elerens swing into action. All
are : non-onference affairs but
the tactics and driving power dis
played are expected to offer a
line on what may be looked for
later in the season.
Coach, Warner's Stanford sauad
will face a severe test in its dou
ble header against Fresno State
and the San Francisco Olympic
club. Under the Olympic banner
is gathered a collection of stars of
national renown, including Mor
ton Kaer, "Cowboy" Kutch, El
mer Yoder, and many others.
Kaer won fame with Southern
California while Kutch, also a
backfield luminary, starred at
Iowa. Yoder was a great tackle
at Carnegie Tech. '
' Despite the formidable opposi
tion; Stanford backers are looking
forward to another great year,
likely to be plugged, by a . new
tion of outstanding players seem
likely t obe plugged , by a new
crop of potential Btars.
Washington whose teams have
dominated coast football more
times'. than an? other in the past
35 years, opens against, a navy
service eleven at Seattle. Two
years ago the Huskies trampled
over all opposition to capture the
conference title and their support
ers confidently hope this will be
another purple and gold year.
With early season prospects of
another powerful eleven, Univer
sity of Southern California starts
its activities in a contest with Oc
cidental at Los Angeles., Moreley
Drury, regarded by many as, cap
able a backfield man as his form
er team mate, Kaer, will lead -the
Trojans this year. He was
benched most of last season with
Injuries.
After two disastrous seasons,
California starts on the comeback
train with new hopes, an aggres
sive, hefty squad of youngsters
and veterans, and the knowledge
that much can be gained but little
lost, the Bears meet Santa Clara,

CHICAGO, Sept. St. (AP)
Leo P , .Flyntt.manager of Jack
Dempsey made formal protest to
the Illinois state athletic commis
sion -today over the "long count"
accorded Gene Tunney in thir
world's heavyweight championship
match last night, but the appeal,
insofar as the commissioners were
concerned, was in vain.
John C. Righeimer. chairman
of the commission "told Flynn and
Dempsey. as manager and fighter.
on file with the commission, that
nothing could be done about the
protest at this time.
He told Flynn that he was not
recogntied by the commission as
Dempsey's manager, but that if
Flynn returned with the protest
in affidavit form, signed by Demp
sey the commission would be
glad to give the appeal its atten
tion.
"If anybody squawks I want the
squawk to come from Dempsey
himself," Righeimer said.
Whether Dempsey will support
Flynn in the issue remained an
unsettled problem tonight. Arth
ur P. Drlscoll, a New York at
torney repsesenting Dempsey, told
unairman Righeimer that he
former world's champion was bn-
tent to abide by the decision ren
dered in soldier field last night,
and was considering no orotest.
Friends of the former titlehold
er said, however, that Demnsev.
if Flynn insisted upon his sign
ing an affidavit, might do so.
Chairman Righeimer, RRld that
he and other members of the com
mission were of the opinion that
th battle had been conducted
Strictly in accordance with all
rules; that Dempsey himself was
ramlliar With them; and that the
particular rule in regard to knock
downs and the action of the boxer
scoring one. was gone oyer with
Dempsey and Tunney Just a few

It was a broken leg which halted

7th Round Blow
CHief Topic of Discussion
By Allan J. Gould
(Associated Press Sports Fditor)
CHICAGO. Sept. 23. (AP)
The battle is ever, the exodus, of
the hidst spectacular fight crowd
is nearly complete bnt the debate
is still on. It raged with increas
ing rather than diminishing fury
tonight about the now famous sev
enth round and whether or not
the "long' count, of nln actual
ly occupy Inn -a space of 18 or 14
secOnd'sEaved" Gene Tunney from
losing the heavyweight crown to
Jack Dempsey.
The official decision in Tun
ney's favor, on the score of the
delay in counting in the seventh
round until Dempsey Was waved
to a corner as well as on the ver
dict at the close in the cham
pion's favor, stands as It was ren
dered last inght. The state athlet
ic commission settled this at ft
session that heard and refused to
allow a formal protest from Leo
P. Flynn, Dempsey's manager,
who claimed that Tunney was ac
tually knocked ottt and that DetnP
sey was "robbed" of the cham
pionship. At the seme time a
loophole was left for further ap
peaj by Flynn.
Jack Makes No Kick
Dempsey himself refused to
support Fiynn's action, today at
least, and through his agent. Ar
thur F. Driscoll of New York,
made it known that he was con
sidering no "squawk" or protest
at present.
So It will stay on the records
as a ten round decision for Tun
ney, but there were thousands to
day, those who had seen the figfht
and those who studied its seventh
round details closely in the slow
motion pictures, convinced that
Uhtoward circumstances cost Jack
Dempsey the greatest triumph of
his career.
The pictures not only showed
that the time el&paihg during the
count of "nine" was actually near
er 14 seconds but they Indicated
that Tunney, had he been compell
ed to get up earlier than he did.
probably would have been a wob
bly, easy target for the finishinc
wallop.- In other words, the four
or five additional seconds the
champion gained on the floor,
while Dempsey was being chased
to the furthest comer by Referee
Dave Barry, seemed in the pictur
es to be a vital. If not deciding

when he went down from a series
of left and right hand smashes to

C1UCAGO, Sept. 23. (AP).
Happy that he has proven himself
at least a fighter able to meet
Jack Dempsey at his own game
and still win even though the is
sue was clouded by a "long
count." Gene Tunney today pre
pared to head homeward.
Before deserting his hotel
apartment here this afternoonn to
visit friends for dinner. Tunney
expressed little sympathy with
the claim of- Leo P. Flynn. filed
with the Illinois State Athletic
commission, that the champion
was given- the benefit of too long
a count when Dempsey floored
him in the seventh round.
"Flynn has been appealing de
cisions all his life." Tunney re
marked. "It isn't surprising that
he intends to appeal the decision
of last, night.
"I watched Dempsey when I
was down i; in the seventh and
watched the : " referee , count. I
could have risen any time but pre
ferred to get the. benefit of the
full rest. My seconds waved me
to stay down when I was about to

Gene said he. was perfectly will
ing to 'meet 'Dempsey again if the
issue st in was in doubt.
J "Why shouldn't I?T, he asked.
"I can beat Dempsey every day in

ieen able to rise it is doubtful
whether his legs could have car
ried him as rapidly around the
ring as they did, several seconds
later, td fescajJe- DerHpaey's rnsw
ed attack.
On the other hand, there is the
,view that .Dempsey cost himself
his big chance of. victory by not
abiding promptly by the state box
ing rules that compel a boxer to
retire quickly to the "farthest"
corner after .fldoring ati antagon
ist. These rules provide no
count shall be made until the box
er on his feet 'has so retreated.
Officials Agree
This was the view of the com
mission, tn backing up the action
of its officials. It was the opin
ion of Dave Jjarry. the referee,
and of the two judges, George Ly-
tton and Sheldon Clark, promin
ent Chicago business men.
AM to whether Tunney was cap
able or not getting to hts feet and
out of range whenever the count
of nine was reached, opinions dif
fer. The champion himself said
he fra? able to get up at five and
was about to d6 so, only to be re
strained by orders shouted from
his corner. Most ringside experts
seemed to share a similar view.
Lytton, one of the judges, de
clared: "I uras sitting right under
Mr. Tunney when he dropped. I
know he could have gotten up.
There is no question about It."
The pictures show that during
the last four or five seconds Tun
ney was-intent on watching the
referee's count, sitting but with
his left hand on the ropes ready
to pull himself op.
Why didn't Dempsey rush in.
when Tunney did get tip, and
make a quicker effort to com
plete the job?
That was another moot ques
tion. It may hare been Tunney's
foot racing skill, his 6lttr back
Pedalling pace, that frustrated a
fresh Dempsey charge
Dempsey glow
But is seemed, as the pictures
were studied, that the ex-cham
pion let many precious seconds go
by before tauntlfig his fee and
then leaping back to the attack.
There was no doubt that every
second was a precious mind and
body restorer to Tunney toward
the close of that seventh round.
Dempsey's aggressiveness thru
ont the fight Is emphasized by the
pictures but so also is Tunney's
remarkable generalship, the su
perior accuracy of his attack .
outside of the fateful seventh
and his far greater stamina.
Tunney cleverly handled by his
chief second, Jimmy Bronson,
out smarted his opponent, per
haps, when the crisis came but he
did not outgame him. Dempsey
was always going in, stung and
cut as he was by the rousing fin
ish that clinched the decision for
the champion.

FAIR TRACK FASTER
Friday moisture came in just
sufficient amounts to wet down the
mile track of the Oregon state
fair to where the management can
practically assure a dustless
course for next Monday, when
auto races hold the interest of
opening day of the Oregon exposi
tion.
It is then that a dozen of the
leading dirt track drivers of Unit
ed States, Canada and Europe will
be in action on the Salem mile
track in a speed program of eight
events, which will be featured by
the Pacific States sweepstakes race
of 15 miles in three heats; the
"battle of champs," a dash event
from the leading champions here
and the Northwest Motor Drby,
the ten mile finale race of the pro
gram. Ray Lampkin. world's dirt track
champion, now in the city, will be
pitted against Ray Dashbach, the
French-Canadian, who recently
won the Missouri Valley title; Roy
Ketcham, the central states cham
pion and Sonny Day, the Dixie title
holder, This is the "battla of
champs ' race and will be for four
miles-
No one seems to know what the
local track record 1s. for the mile
but it is certain that Lampkin will
set up- an official marker for the
course. Lampkin's fastest time for
the mile is 43 1-5 seconds made
at the Minnesota state fair. He
hung up a new Washington record
at Yakima last week when he
wheeled a none-too-good mile
track in 46 1-5 seconds.
To make this mark Lampkin
will drive the most famous of all
race cats, the Wisconsin Special,
which beat Milton's, Oldfield's, D
Palma's and Disbrow's record time
on the Florida beaches, hitting the
sand course at a rate of 181 mile
an hour. Lampkin clips the mile
track stretches close to 100 miles
an hour in making a mark around
4 6 seconds.
It is not without the realms of
possibility that Lampkin may
crack thVworld's mark of 42 1-5
if some more rain comes down and
the track is properly Ironed out
If the champion clocks good time
in his trial here Monday Starter
Bill Breitenstein will likely set him
out to break the two mile world's
record now held at Minnesota state
fair's famous mile course.
Lampkin would like a chance td
set & mile or half-mile mark on
the new half-mile track here, but
It is doubtful If this will be per
mitted as that course Is for horse
racing alone. Lampkin turned
down several offers to go out on
the speed bowl near Portland for
a mark Sunday but he is "saving"
his car for the Monday races here.
In competition Lampkin drives an
almost unbeatable heavy motored
Italian First racer.
