Wills’ Chance
on Champion
Dusky Batller Believed Not
so Formidable as ^ear
and a Half Ago.
Xew York, Jan. 14.—Whether it Is
just a matter of Dempsey propaganda
or a legitimate piece of inside infor
mation, it is nevertheless common
gossip that Harry Wills is not nearly
the man he was a year and a half ago.
Further than that, Harry is said to be
fully aware of the fact.
This, if true, would account for the
silence, deep and abiding, that per
vades the Wills camp on the once ab
sorbing topic of a bout with Jack
Dempsey for the heavyweight cham
pionship of the black and white uni
verse. It may be that Wills realizes
his chance has slipped away from him
w ith the passing years.
His trouble, they say, is not lack
of speed. He is as fast as ever
he was. it Is alleged, but cannot hit
with the same old bone-crushlntf
force. His hands, fragile as a wine
glass, will not stand the strain.
V Doesn't Dare lilt.
•Ills doesn't dare let fly with his
punches the way he did several years
ago.” declared a prominent match
maker recently. "A couple of rounds
Of hard punching would reduce his
hands to dishrags. He never had
hands strong enough to punch with
indiscriminately, but when he was
fighting Sam Langford he saved them
n lot by using his speed and boxing
ability to advantage.
"Wills cannot do that now because
his hands are even weaker than they
were then. He knows he must fin
ish his man early, und at the same
time he realizes that lie cannot afford
to swing with everything he has. In
consequence, lie relies on intimidating
his opponent and afterward finishing
him with body blows, which are not
ns destructive to the hands as a punch
to the he"d."
Could Not Punch.
Whether this he fact or fancy de
ponent* knoweth not. but wre can at
test to the fact that upon the occa
sion of his last public appearnnoe
Harry Wills looked very much like
r man who canid not or would not
punch. The bout in question lasted
almost 12 rounds, in spite of the fact
that Clem Johnson, party of the sec
ond part, was pretty much of a joke.
Quite a bit of Wills' success has
been due* to his ability to hook his
left hand under the shoulder of an
opponent and drag the latter forward
Into a right uppercut to the body.
The result usually has been rather
embarrassing to the victim.
Usually the latter has lent himself
unwittingly to this program by
clinching as soon as ho got to close
quarters—jiWnson. ably coached by
someone, declining to be a party to
such a transaction.
When Wills meets Dempsey, if
ever, he will experience even more
difficulty with this trick. Dempsey
is stronger, wiser and certainly more
slippery than Johnson. Ills gliding,
swaying movements ns he comes in
will hrenk Wills' hold nine times out
of 10. And on the occasion of the
10th Wills may wish that the break
had been Just as clean and definite.

How to Play Basket Ball.
Offense. Center play No. 3. This 1«
a simple effactive play, when a fast drib
bling guard used We will take for
granted your fast dribbling defensive man
plays right guard. The center taps the
ball off laterally to the right. The for.
ward draws his guard up and out towards
the side line. The left forward hae
come up on his own side of the court,
drawing hts guard with him. Th* right
guard comes in. takes the ball while In
the air, br*»aks into a dribble and gow* all
the way through to the basket. Sounds
too simple to be good Try it out if
you have a fast dribbling guard. A slow
man could never get to the basket in
time. It Is very necessary that the for
wards draw their guards with them as
described, otherwise vou cannot expect the
play to go.

FRANK CHANCE.
ORVIE OVERALL.
The return of Frank Chance to baseball as the manager of the Red Sox is not a surprise to those that know him. Ever since he quit in 19h> l.e

stand (lie craving for the game that he once starred in so brilliantly. He is undertaking a big job as pilot of the Red Sox, but if he lias Ids way lie will
succeed. His first move after taking hold was to sign Orvie Overall and Jimmy Archer, a famous battery on his old Cub machine when they were world s
champions. He also announced that Mike Honlin, one of the greatest players that ever pulled on a shoe, would be retained as a coach and scout. l>on

Three Schools Anolv
Three schools Mainline. Mar
quette and Carleion, according to
reports from Sioux City, have made
application for the place left va
cant b.v St. Thomas in the North
Central conference, llotli Mainline
and Coileton, the two most logical
institutions for the vacancy, are
tied up in the Midwest and Minne
sota state conferences. Because of
this fact, it is thought that they
will not tie in a position to step in
to a new organization.
The Minnesota conference is about
on a par with the North Central
and (he majority of teams therein,
have licld their own easily with
teams lliat are nowr members of the
so-called “Big Nine" in past years.
It is understood that Marquette
refused a place in the North Cen
tral conference because of tlie fear
of the freshman rule.. The confer- %
enre has adopted the freshman rule
at its recent annual meeting held
hi Sioux City and this action may
keep Marquette university out of
(lie loop
Johnson Being
Groomed for Jack
New York, Jan. 14.—Floyd Johnson,
21 years old, Iowa heavyweight,
loomed today as a dangerous con
tender for Jack Dempsey’s crown as
a result of his decisive Victory Friday
right over "Bill" Brennan of Chicago
In a 15-round contest at Madison
Square Garden, Fighting a crafty
rugged ring veteran, Johnson showed j
that lie has all the equipment of a j
first class title contender. He dis- 1
played amazing footwork and boxing !
ability besides demonstrtyllng that lie j
has a real punch and the ability to ,
take punishment.
He maintained a furious pace from
start to finish nnd while he often
swung wildly in his eft'gerness to keep
Brennan constantly on the defensive,
the Chicagoan was forced to hang on
in several rounds to save himself from
taking a count.
Johnson's next oppohent, it is un
derstood will be Luis Firpo, South
American heavyweight, who is ex
pected to return to this country in the
near future.
