Champions Lose Aggressiveness
After Winning Crown Jack
Dempsey More Cautious in Ring
, ' t ..
. - ' By FRANK G. MENKE. , :
. ' ' (Capyrliht, 1921, by Klat Faaturai Syndicate, Inc.)
VER notice that whenever a fighter reaches the
throne he's no longer the spectacular, aggress
ive, cyclonic individual of his aspirant days? ,
There's a reason. ; V
It's caution. :
v Soon as those birds achieve the one tinseled
crown they become fearfully jealous of it, and
use every means in their power to guard it from
seizure by another. Some duck taking chances,
either by the simple process
mingling only with "lemons"
the jewels.
But others, though, are brave
enough to go right along battling
the toughest of the tough; battles
no more in the style whirlwind, ir
resistable, "do-or-die" fashion which
brought one crowd after' another to
its feet in a hysteria of cheers.
. Jack Dempsey is of the latter sort.
The heavyweight ranks never knew
a man who was more fearfully ag
gressive, than the human tornado
from Utah. The sheer fury of his at
tack rolled back, then crushed and
annihilated one foeman after an
other.: The sight, of Dempsey rac
ing in for the onslaught in the
earlier days was yne of' the most
thrilling things in ring history.'
' Those who saw'liihi ".in his fights
with Fuhon, Morris . and . Willard
giants of the prize ring never will
forget him. , The bell , clanged for
his battle with Fulton; and even be
fore the sound seemed to haw
reached the audience,' Fulton was. on
the!floor, a knod:out, vicliin.. v
Morris. lasted 10 seconds. - ' .
Willard was the quickest and the
worst bcateir champion' the game has
known.'' For a few. seconds after the
bell rang, he stood there in he bril
liant July sunlight, a . superb speci
men of huge manhood a few sec
onds he stood and no ' more. ' For
like a lightning flash, came Dempsey,
ripping, tearing, smashing, irresist
able, merciless. And the reign of the
giant came to a dramatic end..
But since that day what a differ
ent Dempsey it has been. He's no
less wonderful as a fighting ma
chine; no less powerful; no less
amazing in his ability to take punish
ment. But no longer, is. he spectacu
larno longer does Jierush ; like a
hurricane. .
Caution -stays him. He recalls that
he is champion remembers . that he
has a priceless possession that must
be protected. And so he fights now
a bit slowly, with extreme care
and without the reckless abandon,
and electrifying daring of- the pre
championship days. v -.
'What lias happened in Derapscy's
ease is only history repeating itself.
The greatest fightsi Jim ,C6rbett's
career were those before he beat
Sullivan, the one against the im
mortal John L. and the one with
Jeffries when he -was "striving to re
gain the crown, i ,
. Fitzsimmons'' greatest battles were
really those -before, he was cham
pionand after he lost the title.
Jeffries was possessed of physical
powers and a certain cleverness that
might have won most of his bouts
in a twinkline. But from the day that
Jeff became champion his style really
changed. Kecaii mm in nis ngnts
with Corbett, Sharkey and the sec
ond with Fitz and youH rarely re
call him doing anything '. else bnt
operating along cautious lines. '
W hatever ot tne spectacular
entered into Jeffs fights while cham
pion was furnished by the ossonents i
Tour October 4th
0 L
of long loafing spells, or by
who haven't a chance to win
not by Jeff. His, always was an
attitude of watchful waiting. .
That characteristic has been one
of champions' in every division not
merely the heavyweights. With only
a rare few exceptions, every big fight
in a champion's career has found him
waiting -and cautious, no - matter
what his fighting style was in other
days. ' - . . ' - "
It. was ever so and ever will be.
For the price men of the prize ring
must pay for a title is the complete
surrender of the . spectacular some
thing that made them wonderful
and made them idols.

Chicago, Sept. 29 Willi Dick
Kerr pitching masterly, Chicago vir
tually ruined Cleveland's chances In
the American league race today,
when he shut out the world's chain
pions, 5 to 0.
Cleveland, to top New York, must
win its three remaining games, and
the Yankees lose their remaining
three. The margin between the pen.
nant contenders tonight was two and
a half names.
Kerr celebrated a day set aside in
his honor by holding Cleveland to
six hits and with the aid of sensa
tional fielding did not allow a Cleve
land player t- pass second.
After the Sox scored two runs in
the first, Cleveland played a listless
game. : In the first Johnson 'cd oft
with a single, and took second on
Strunk's out. After Collins had
ftied to Evans, Hooper drove
single to Center, scvoring Johnson
Hooper taking second, shecly iol
lowed with another single, scoring
Hooper.
Pitcher Sotlicron was succeeded
by Caldwell in the second. He fared
well until the sixth, when, after two
were out, Chicago scored another
run. Mostil singled to lett ana Mui
ligan followed with a hit to the same
place. Mostil raced home when
Evans booted the ball.
The Sox scored another run m the
seventh, after two were out. Strunk
hit to center, and as a result of
Speaker s slow fielding, stretched It
into a double. Collins scored Strunk
with a single. In the eighth Mulli
gan grounded to Caldwell, who
threw wide to Burns, permitting
Mulligan to reach second. Schalk's
triple scored him. 5core:

Elevens to Get First Tonic of
Grid Conflict Two Games
Helweeu Conference
Squads.
The fall opening of the Nebraska
conference, made up of 12 t f th
larger universities and collects in
the state, will be staged this week
end. The foot ball aggregations of
some eik-lit or 10 of these institu
tions will have their first tufte of
1921 grid conflict. Reports trom all
of the schools indicate the season is
going off with a rush. Coaches re
port excellent material, hard eched
ules and hard men. The coiifrrcuce
race last year ended in a tripie tie,
l'relnninary schedules provme lo
two games betwixt conference teams
this week. Hastings college at Near.
ney Normal and Nebraska Central
at Crete. Grand Island opens its
season on foreign soil, iilaymn the
Colorado college at Colorado
Springs. Cotner opens its season
with a fling at the alumni.
Nebraska Weslcyan, another mem
ber of the conference, also has its
first game, meeting the I niveisity of
fsebraska on Nebraska field.
Orand Island and Doane came
through last season with 1.000 pvr
cent. Wesleyan also held .1 clear
slate. The University of Omaha,
with a ranking no-dcteat, no-tie sea'
son, likewise reserved a berth at the
top of the column, but the confer
ence ruled them out of consideration
because the Maroons had not partici
pated in sufficient games with con
ference teams. Cotner, Kearney
and Nebraska Central finished near
the end of the string, while Hastings
finished fifth.
Hastings and Doane, foot ball
c ritics aver, are the favorites in the
contests this week. Hastings plays
Friday and Doane Saturday. Doane
has a letter man in practically every
position. Nebraska Central failed to
annex a game last year, but Coach
Frank Loomis, jr., Olympic star and
new tutor of the Ccntralites. is ex
pected to bring the team to the front.
Nebraska Wesleyan fell before the
Cornhuskers, 100 to 0, in the last
clash between the two schools.

Among the high rchool aggrega
Hons, four teams opened the caor.
Uwt week,
In the Nebraska conference. Has
tings and Kearney Normal clash on
the latter gridiron. Each school il
represented by fairly him aggregn
tions of pigskin bootcrs thit season,
and while it is rather early in the
reason to predict just how these two
snuails will finish in the conference
standings, it is the opinion' of clou
followers cf the schools that the rar
this seusou will find both Hasting!
and Kearney well up in the running.
J' rank Loonus, jr., Olympic Ma!
and holder of several records wlms
it comes to jumping the timbers or
the cinder track, is the new coach a'
Hastings. Just what caliber of team
t . i j
Loomis can develop in ine way oi
foot ball, is a question. Frank il
there and over when it comes to
track, but foot ball is another ques
tion. However, Hastings appears tc
rule favorite over the Kearney war
riors.
Reports received from Kearney
say that Coach Ray Ozmun, last
year's grid tutor, has a bunch of
husky foot bailers under his wing
this season and will be prepared to
give Hastings a good battle this aft
ernoon. South Plays at Fremont
Among the high schools. South
High and Fremont will hold the
center of interest, although Com
merce will come in for its share to-
day. The Bookkeepers are scheduled'
to play their first game of the sea
son at Sidney, la., this afternoon.
Coach James Patton of South
High has been drilling his proteges
hard this week in all branches of
the rough and tumble sport. Jusf
what style of play he will use against
Fremont is not known, but it is
believed the Packer mentor will send
his men into the fray with instruc
tions to use the aerial attack.
With Sacks and Gibbreth at ends;
Caldwell and Nixon playing tackle
and, Bakke , and. Myers at guards.

giving a good account of itself
against any state high eleven. "Mike"
Bendekovic is at center and is a
tower of strength to the Packer's
front wall.
Quarterback Graham and Half
back Sullivan, better kijown as
"Beno," will form the passing com
bination. Herbert Spencer, whopaly
cd with Lyons last season, and "Bill"
bmtgh, veteran atSouth High, will
also play in the backfield.
The Packers should find little
difficulty in trimming the Fremont
aggregation.
Coach James Drummond will take
his entire squad ' of gridsters to
Sidney.
The first game of the Omaha sea
son is scheduled for Creighton field
today when theXreighton High and
Glenwood (la.) 'eleven clash in the
opener for both schools. The local
high coach has a good bunch of foot
bailers this season, while Glenwood
is not considered very strong this
year.
York Meets Superior. '
Among the state high school.'.
York is carded to play Superior. Last
week Superior trounced Chester, 102
to 0, while York trimmed Friend, 12
to 7. York and Superior will play
at Superior with the odds favor
ing the latter team.
Cozad last to Gothenburg, 0 to SU,
last week. Today Cozad and North
Loup are scheduled to mix at North
Loup. The latter eleven snowed
Scotia under a 39 to 0 score last
Saturday and should defeat Co?ad
today.
Chester and fairbury will play at
Fairburv. This game should be a
good one as both teams appear to be
evently matched. Fairbury lost last
week to Grand Island, 0 to 18, while
Chester also lost.
lack Beacom, former University of
Omaha star, who is coaching foot
ball at the . Kearney Military
Academy, Kearney, will pit his
