What happens when a man is knock- ed out? The writer has asked this question of several knockers-out in the past few days, beginning with Jack Dempsey and getting down to . the lightweight king, Benny Leonard. What Dempsey said will express the views of all whé are approached. “Why," replied Jack, scratching his head, guess a man merely stops thinking. But that is not all. A committee of physicians who have been investi- gating the question of knockouts in their scientific aspects say that a man knocked out by a blow on the solar plexus—the region immediately be- low the breast bone—does not lose his power to think. The vagus nerve is affected. and while the boxer can think he cannot move even a finger, ;.hle collapse is physical, and not men- al. The heart is slowed and weakened, respiration becomes gasping and paroxysmal. the pulse unsteady ,the whole vitality lowered. Bill Bren- han savs this was precisely his case when he was knocked out by Demp- Sey in the Madison Square Garden in the winter of 1921. It was so with Jim Corbett in ‘the Fitzsimmons fight. The blow to the point of the jaw, ‘| the investigating physicians assert, causes paralysis of consciousness. It also gives a severe jolt to the medul- J.1This attested pre-season fitness ac- quired at Catalina Island.

Really, I think the new rule will develop our ath- letics in_general and in particular give us better foot ball teams than we have had. Certainly, we cannot do any worse, and 1 have full confi- dence that the next two or three years will prove the worth of my contention that the adoption of the rule will give us stronger elevens. Our big aim in foot ball every year is to whip the University of Mary- land, and we shall do that more often, to my way of thinking, under the one-year rule than without it.” Another stand C. U. has taken in regard to eligibility is not to use special students. Only men who are taking work leading to a degree are to be allowed to play on varsity teams. Catholic University has for next fall the best foot ball schedule it has| ever played, and undoubtedly it got| it, as Athletic Director of Moran says of the.V. P. I. game, because of the announced intention to adopt stricter eligibility rules. And right here seems to be a good place to say just one thing of Moran. There is not a bit of doubt that Mo- ran’s willingness to meet the other tellow at least half way, his absolute fairness in dealing with other schools in all eports, his desire to help-the other fellow over the difficult spots. have won for him the respect and friendship of representatives of ull colleges and universities with whom he has come in contact and placed the university itself in a position to fill good schedules in all branches of sport.

Washington Rovers need only one imore victory to clinch the champion- | ship of the National Capital Soccer { League after their 3-to-1 triumph | Yesterday over the Georgetown Har- {lems on the Monument lot pitch. It was the third straight win for the oldest soccer team in the District _ The Rovers did most of their scor- ing in the first fifteen minutes of play. Thereafter the Harlems bit Iy contested every effort of their op- ponents to advance. Georgetown's two decisive victories at Norfolk over the Naval Training Station inidcate that it has another team which is likely to cut a_wide| swath among college nines. Espe- cially is this true if the Train tion has as strong a nine which wore its colors a year ago. Coach John O'Reilly has seemed well pleased with the outlook for a strong team on the Hilltop and apparently his smiles have not been without foundation. A fast infield with good hitting, the same kind of an outfield. excellent catching and excellent pitching form a combination which makes successful nines; and unless signs fail, Georgetown has all of these and something more. La Fountain, who already has star- red for Gaulladet this year in foot ball and basket ball, is expected to do the same in base ball and track. TUndoubtedly the big fellow will be back in his old position at third on the Kendall Green nine and is cer- tain to make the relay team the schoo! sends each year to the Pen sylvania games. Gallaudet will have to go a long way before it finds an- other athlete as capable and having at the same time such a fine person- ality as La Fountain. Four lars of the University of Maryland foot ball team of last fall are playing on the lacrosse twelve. They are Branner, McQuade, Pugh and “Mac” Brewer. Several members of the freshman eleven, ‘including Hough, also are on the squad, though not as regulars. _— VETERAN RIFLEMAN DIES. - SAN FRANCISCO.
