The writer has not the slightest doubt that Columbia's new head coach will be the aforesaid Charles Crowley. That is a prediction. As for Harvard, it looks as though Major Charles A.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 28.—(@y The Associated Press) — Connie Mack's athletics, the mystery team 1924, are looked upon as the most strengthened rival of the Washing- ton Senators and New York Yankees in the quest for the 1925 American League flag. ‘The sensation of the league early in 1923, only to flop back at mid- season, the Athletics played better ball after July four last season, in ames won, than any other team In the league.

The Pearl Whites were simply too good last night for the champions of two years ago. They outplayed them, particularly tn the last half, in passing, floorwork and shooting. Jack Neff ran wild and dropped in 10 field goals for the winners with Jack Clowry showing some of his old time form, and scoring five bas- kets, Rynalski scored heaviest for the Standards with Patterson doing some effective work. The Telephones ran into a snag and were able to defeat the Midwest only by one point margin of 16 to 15. The game was tiled up all the way and the Midwest aggregation rhowed their best form of the sea- son. The team play was about even. McLean led in scoring for the Tel- ephones, contributing nine out of ther total of 16 points while Dade Wilson kept the Midwest in the run- ning with four field goals. Interest in the league is growing with every game and now that the Standards, Pear] Whites and Meth- odists are in a triple tie the ayend- ance shou'd break all records. The lineups 4 score!

(United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Jan. 28. (United Press).—Somewhere around in the country, riding the brake beams, husking corn or driving a truck, a heavyweight champion of the world Jimmy DeForest, the veteran trainer firmly believes. To the dis- coverer of that embryo champion will go fame and fortune. Since he was dismissed from th camp of Jack Dempsey within a hours after the ponderous Jess W lard had surrendered the hea’ weight championship of the world. DeForest has been dreaming of a: other discovery. He backed up his dreams with a lot of energetical search that has ended almost in dey spatr. “There never will be another Dempsey,” Jimm nald recently. “There may be another fighter who can hit just as hard, box just as well and who has the generalship and fighting instinct of the present champion, but there will never be another novice that will be so easy to work with and so willing to learn. “Dempsey was a novice when I started to work with him. He had a fighting heart, a great pair of Men Only arms, a powerful back and good ad. tion in his lege. He had t6 be taught to perfect all the natural advantages with which he was en- dowed, He never would have be- come the champion of the world and one of the greatest of all chantpions, however, if he hadn't been willing to learn. “Dempsey always acted the part of a pupil who knew nothing and he treated me like I was the smart- est fellow in the world. He never offered an argument. When I told him to do something, he did it with- out protest. He was s0 serious about it that I never had to tell him twice to do the same thing. “When he came to me, Dempsey was ambitious, but I don’t believe he figured then that he could win the heavyweight title and become a millionaire. He had nothing to en- courage him but the hope of becom ing a better fighter than he was. I am a hard task master. I always in sist that any one in my charge do Just as I esy and when I my.

I didn’t find a real prospéct with the excep: tion of Luis Firpo, and he wouldn't stay with me. “I always liked Firpo, and I be lieve we would have gotten along petter if he hadn't been influenced by the advice of inexperienced friends who didn't know any more about boxing that they did about coping the loop in an airplano, “Firpo was willing to follow box- ing instructions and he was great! improved in the short time I wo ed with him, but when I came to the most important part of his train. ing he rebelled. He wouldn't do what I told him to get into condi. tion. He wouldn't eat what I told him and he would cheat every time I sent him out on the road. He was influenced by his friends into the notion that he was a king, that he could do nothing wrong and that he had only to snort a couple of times to make Dempsey run out of the ring. “The others that I have seen and worked with are in the same class of know-everythings. They come to me to be trained and begin their work by telling me that they know how to fight, but they want to get into goo¢ physical condition. When I tell them to do a certain thing, they know a better way and they tell me that I am wrong. I tell them to go to bed o'clock, and they reply that th: not babies and they know how much sleep “they need, I had to kick three fair looking prospects out of my camp a few weeks ago because they started to teach me how to box and train, “Nearly every boy that comes to me has a string on him.

They come to me, I know, just for the advertising derived from hay- ing it known that their boy ts from my camp. “These managers who, as @ rule, have nothing but a financial inter- est in their charge, are not willing to get him developed by slow stages. As soon as the boy learns how to jab a little and punch with his right hand, they want to hustle him out into a mateh with the champion. The first thing they ask of me is— ‘Can he take and if the boy does show gameness, they want to try him out. “I am not one to argue that a boy can learn more in a gymnasium than he can {fn actual competition, but_ I alwi ‘s havo insisted, that will bo surpassed thi Of All Events until he has reached a certain stage of development tho best training can be done in the gym, “Considering the opportunity that boxing offers for big money to boys that are not qualified for other high-salaried professions, it seems strange to me that the know-it-all attitude is so common among the youngsters breaking into the game. “Of course, in boxing there {sn't the same intellectual type to deal with that you find in the medical or legal profession or in other arts and sclences, but I can't understand why a boxer wouldn't be willing to learn his business just as a young doctor’ or young lawyer has to do by years of patient work and stud) “If some one came to me ever with a promise that they could make from $100,000 up to $1,000,000 by learning a business from him, T certainly would take him up and 1} would do just what he said if I had confidence in him.
