A So far the reports as to whether Old Man Dempsey still has the stuff for a big come-back in 1932, designed to hand the fistic depres- sion and perhaps some leading rival a knockout blow, remain a trifle vague and confusing. One of our former sleuths, Frank Wallace, who now writes sports for the New York Daily News and football books for his public, re- ports that “Dempsey looks good,” so far as he has gone. Mr. Wallace is conservative in his estimates, but he gives me the impression that Dempsey still can “lay ’em out” when he really lets go, that he is slowly getting back into good condition and prefers Max Schmeling to any of the other prospective opponents discussed for him this year. “Schmeling,” points out Mr. Wal- lace, “is the type Dempsey likes. The German is a willing boxer. By wading in, he would give Dempsey the chance to throw punches with a minimum of leg work.” W Dissenting Opinion On the other hand, I have this ringside view of Dempsey the barn- stormer from the observing Mr. George T. McConville of our St. Paul forces: “I know you are one of the boosters of the old man and if you really like him, keep him away from the younger boys. In the ring o here he was just an Old Man who knew how to take care of him- » self. > “Of course he was using 12- ¢ ounce gloves, but there didn't seem to be the zip on his punches he # Thad the last time I saw him, which > X was against Billy Miske here years ago. His legs are his legs and they have been toting him around too many years to stand the going. “The strangest thing about him » was he was down on his heels, and when he let a punch go it was just » with his arms and shoulders, and none of the old ‘spring back of it. “1'd hate to see him get into the ring with some hard-hitting young fellow with brains enough to stay away from him for three or four Tounds. “There is a story going around here that he has made $300,000 so far out on his trip. That may or may not be so, but if it is he should act on the alibi already well established that he will not be able to-get back into shape for a cham- pionship fight.” i Teuchdown Gift To the collection of football's queerest happenings of 1931, Don McGuire of our Des Moines staff | contributes this one: “I think it was the shortest re- turn of a punt for a touchdown during the seoson, a five-yard run by E. Ronzani, Marquette quarter- back. “Against Drake here Thanksgiv- ing day, Becker, Marquette end, punted, the ball being downed on| Drake’s five-yard line. “Lindstrom, Draks quarterback, punting from behind his own goal line, got off a weak kick thatwent crazily to the left and fairly high. “Ronzani raced across the field and took the ball on the five yard line directly in front of the goal posts, running unmolested to the touchdown. Marquette won 32 to 6.” GEORGIA CONDUCTS $188,793 SPORT BUSINESS FOR 31 | ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 7. — The ;staw auditor's department filed with Gov. Richard B. Russell of | Georgia a report on the financial |return from sports at the Univer- sity of Georgia, showing a gross of 18188793 from all sports from May 1, 1930; to June 30, 1931.
