WHAT DO YOou THINK ME CHANCES ARE OF BEIN' ELECTED TO MAYOR OF THIS TOWN ? comMmin® [THERE SHE 15, HUH! | THOUGHT YOU SAID SHE DIDN'T HAVE AROUND THE great danger. But with the adroit- ness that warms the cockles of 2 veteran ringworm's heart, he whispers softly to the amazed youngster trying to knock his head off, cajoles and bewilders them, and befuddles them down to the decision line. OUT-TALKING THEM In his recent bout with Billy Townsend, rough, young and dan- gerous, Benny stofped a vicious right to his chin. He stopped dead in his tracks, a pleased smile on his face. “Nice punch,” he said. " Then he marched into clinch, the birds singing merrily in his head and the youngster Fighting desperately to get out of his | clutches. “Don’t get over-anxlous,” Ben- ny schooled him, his head tucked safely over Townsend's shouider. “As soon as we get out of this clirch you'll get a chance to punch with that fine right hand of yours again. You'll have chances all night. So don't get excited.” Benny fooled the one particular. Townsend had chances to punch witin his right all the rest of the night, but never anbther chance to land it. Lo o o o Discussing this very situation once upon a time, George Bernard Shaw remarked that youth is such a wonderful thing that it is a! cshame it has to be entrusted to children. You get a complete realization of just what that means in sport | when you think of Walter John- sor in his last years as a major league pitcher, getting by on mnerve| alone, the blazing whip gone from | his fast one, his curve rounded out to a wrinkle. If there ever cotld be a case! where all the wisdom that years! of experience bring, all the sagac-| ity and balance of the veteran, | could be coupled from the start| with the tireless brawn of youth, sports history would know a last- ing miracle man. But there seems to be allowed every great competitor just a brief, fleeting - span, before the suppleness of youth has started to go, when maturity guides lim- itless power to new heights. There was thal time in Jack, Dempsey's career when no man| before or since could have stood| before his ffists, the Dempsey of| the Tom Gibbans, Georges Carpen- | tier Louis’ Firpo era.

With all his knowledge, he has not made a bet on a race since 1887. “I learned early in my ca- recr that you can't beat 'em,” he says. e INDIAN' LOSSES HEAVY ONLY YOUTH LACKING Now comes Benny Leonard to moke all this more evident by his comeback ‘campaign, mesmerizing yeuth and power with little more than his agile brain and the ex- perience of many years. If Leonard could have again, just for one night, a goodly frac- tion of the youth he faces in his opponents, he would lick just about anything that could be mustered against him, regardless of weight or size. He has fought 20 times in his comeback campaign, and there have been times when he has been in STANFORD‘ UNIVERSITY, Cal, Aug. 24—Opening an eleven-game schedule September IT and clos- ing against University of Pittsb- {burgh November 26, Coach “Pop” ‘Warner faces the task of rebuild- ing a fottball squad from which 116 lettermen were lost by gradua- tion.
