DEMPSEY DELIVERS TWO QUICK KAYOES T Follows One-Round Victories With | Third Heavyweight. By the Associated Press. ABERDEEN, Wash., September 3— Jack Dempsey knocked out two oppo- nents in one round each and went| through two fast rounds with another | in a four-round exhibition here last night. Tom Moore, Los Angeles heavyweight, first to face the former heavyweight | champlon, was counted out after being | knocked down three times. The second man to face Dempsey, Al Zavaney of Portland, was knocked down by the first punch and took the COACH CLEANS UP N CANADA S Johnny Walker Handles Both Young and Miss Ravior. Cold Crimps Race. By the Associated Press. ORONTO, Ontario, Sept¢mber 3. Johnny Walker, who rowed a boat 15 miles, instead of swimming it in the Canadian national exhi- bition swim marathon, today received his share of honors that went with George Young's feat in winning the race and its $10,000 first prize. Walker, one of Canada's leading coaches, supervised the training that carried Young to his remarkable vic- tory over the icy waters of Lake Ont and 179 other swimmers yvesterday coached Margaret Ravior, the P phia girl, who won the woma mile grind last week. Young and Bill Goll of New York and Warren Anderson of Sidney, Nova Scotia, the only others who finished the race, got their full share of praise. however, as a number of unsuccessful contestants planned a protest meeting about their experiences with the cold performance that brought him to ths line an hour and 18 minutes behind the winner, while Anderson plunged along through the darkness and the water, growing even colder than during |the day until he finaily reached the _;nnll)sh‘:hflr:ly befor> midnight. | Decision how the $15,000 prizegmone should be distributed was deferred. 4 Many of those who succumbed to the icy waters, some of them lasting | only & few minutes, planned to protest today. ~Exhibition officials had stipu- lated that the race would not be held unless the temperature of the water was 58 degrees. It was only a fraction | above that mark at the starting point yesterday and outside the breakwater it was reported to be as low as 46.

Evans, although quict and easy-going himself, had un- usual ability in directirg the team. He had that something that enables a quar- | terback to carry on a sustained offen- | sive, and whether or not another player will be found who can show the same | ability is the question for which the Old Line school must find the answer. Largely on how well Evans' shoes are filled, as far as directing the team is concerned, depends Maryland's success during the coming season.

BALL PLAYERS TRADED. MONTREAL, September 3 (#) —Rab- bit Whitman, Reading International, outfielder, has been traded to the Mon- | treal Royals for Eddie Conley and cash. Maryland was up against about same kind of a proposition it fces now. Then it had back virtually it whole squad, hav- ing lost only one regular from the team | of the previous year But that ragular, | who was Mike Stevens, was the ark | that made the team go in the previous vear. His shoes vere nct filled, and, while Maryiand had a strong team in 1927, it won few games. Had Stevens been back he would have been the dif- ference which would have turned three 1-point defeats and one tie into vic- tories. Just who will be used at quarterback in place of Evans is not known, but it may be that Poppleman, who alter- | nated with Evans, may get the assign- | ment, with Charley May and Joe Settino playing the position with him.

But after he became coach in 1918 there were few such breaks to account for Notre Dame's almost continuous string of victories down through 1930. I say so from first-hand knowledge as I followed the Fight- ing Irish these many years either as scout or as fan fascinated by their magnificence. Rockne's coaching genius was based on simplicity.

F the Old Line School fills Evans' place satisfactorily, and Faber and Hayden are able fo come through, then it will have reason to feel scme- what optimistic, _notwithstanding it plays a very difficult schedule. If these “ifs’ are wiped out with the progress of the season, then Maryland ought ®o have a better team than a year ago. Pease and Norris, ends; Hayden and Krajo guards: Faber, center, and Carliss, tackle, are the regular linemen to return, while of the five backfield men who played as regulars, Woods, Berger, Chalmers and Poppleman wili be in uniform. May and Settino plaved in the backfield a good deal and both will be available again. Of the other men, Scott and Mitchell, Cole. Duley and Keenan. . and Wood. end, are about the best prospects. The best men from the freshman squad are Shinn, guard; | Vincent, tackle; Benner and Buscher, ends; Sothoron, quarterback, and Knott, halfback. . It is expected that close to 50 men will report for the first practice. Among them are many players who had no experience prior to entering Maryland, | but who either as ssphomores or fresh- men gave some indicatio nof develop- ing into capable players. As a matter of fact, Maryland probably has a larger percentage of lis squad without either igh or prep school experience than any of ons more people ride on Good- year tires.
