At Jeast that's the situation so far as matchmaking 1s concerned by promot ers whose word and money !s some- thing tangible to gamble on. “I know there has been a lot of talk in the newspapers about Dempsey meeting Wille, Fulton, Brennan and others, but the point is that I have yet to have a promoter come forward with a real offer for a match with any of these men. “As I have said a dozen times Dempsey is ready to meet anyone who looks as though he would prove a real drawing card.

ERNEST VICK IN UNIFORM ONLY 12 HOURS IN SEASON WAS PIGKED FOR ALL-AMERICAN GENTER BY EXPERT ANN ARBOR, Mich., Jan. 28— Although in action only about 12 hours during the 1921 season, Ernest Vick of Toledo, star center, of the University of Michigan varsity eleven, won the coveted honor of being selected as All-American cen- ter by Walter Camp. Coach Field- ing H. Yost regards Vick'’s achiev ment as one of the most remarkable in the history of American foot- ball. Vick is a student in the medical reiool and did*not complete his school. work until five oSclock each afternoon. Coach Yost's automobile took him to Ferry fleld every, day 4s soon as he had completed his studies but he always arrived just as the remainder of the squad was leaving the field. With the excep- tion of five hours apent in practice on Saturdays, carly in the season Vick was not in uniform at any time except during the seven games played by Michigan this year. Arriving af Ferry field, Vick would run several times about the cinder track and then submit to a vigorous rub down. ‘This constituted his only) exercise during the play- coach of the champion Giants. Princeton, Harvard and Yale fur- nished the players on Walter Camp's 1889 All-American football team, While his 1921 eleven is composed of players from eleven different univer- sities. Manager Bill Gleason of the White Sox will give his young pitchers two “weeks extra training this spring, in the hopes of developing a twirling staff able to stand the pace. After the recent Johnny Dundee- Hub boxing fans were of the opinion that Champion Benny Leonard would “find sofe picking in either of the fight- ers. ‘.

Only a few evenings each week | Vick met with Coach Yost and other mentors to receive “skull’ practice. New plays were explained to him and he was kept up to date on the team’s developmnt. sical condition at pach season of the year and this accounts for his ability to make the All-Ame~ican without practice,” Coach Yost said today. “He had received three years of university football training pre- viously, belng benefitted by the S. A. T C. rule, and he knew the game from start to finish." Vick played three positions on defensive at various times during the last season, center, loose cen- ter, and left tackle. In his four years of varsity play it Js said that he fafled to make a single bad pass. Another distinction he holds Is that at no time during the four years was time taken out for him during a grme.
