FIRPO’S ONE-TWO IS
A CRIME; SCIENTIFIC
STUFF NOT FOR HIM
Fairplay Advises Luis to
Forget Science and Hit
Naturally.
By FAIRPLAV.
Cop- risht bv The San Antonio Light.
Atlantic City. N. J.. Sept. 11.—
The 'owner Luis Firpo throws away
all idea of scientific fighting and
battles along lines of his natural
ability the better it will be for him.
Luis <*annot box. according to the
American standard. ami he never
will learn to box that way. He hasn't
a good left hand and he never will
have one.
Koebele the clever light-heavy-
weight weight DW pounds and by
far the b?st boxer in Firfm’s camp
has been trying to teach the Argen-
tino io come in with his loft before
bringing his right over. Jimmy Dc-
Forrest tried the same thing. Just
now Firpo has it in his head that
this is what he should do. The way
he. does it is as follows: He leads
his left. He pauses. Then he steps
back ami then he shoots in his right.
That is his idea of the well known
one-two wallop. Unless Dempsey is
crazy ho will move constantly to
Luis’ loft in ..mneiivering about the
ring and it is difficult 1o see where
the South American will got much
of a chance to bring his right his
one deadly weapon into play. Of
course he can counter but his count-
ers are so slow that an old-timer like
John Lester Johnson can back away
from them without difficulty. Firpo
may start off the bout according to
Hoyle but who ho gets a punch or
two. gets mad and begins to fight
he will conduct himself in the same
old way. Thus ho will bo soft for
left hooks and left hooks are—or used
to be—Dempsey's best punches. No
one yet knows whether or not Luis
will quit under fire.
He has been developing d curious
rostlesness of late. He does not
keep still a minute. This may not be
due 1o any worry over the approach-
ing battle. It may be merely the
reactions of a man who is drawing
to the fine point of training and is
gearing himself up to action. Just
the same the fact remains as rcj»ort-
Stories to the effect that Dempsey
is trained too fine ami his punches
are not working are rife in this camp
ami here too they have an idea that
Jack has not lived a <‘areful life and
has wasted much of his old physique.
All this is accepted ns gospel in
1' irpo s camp and Luis listens eagerly
to all that is said in this respect.

NEW WEST TEXAS BOSS
Gaylord McMillan to Get
His Warriors Into Uni-

School football has blossomed forth
and virtually every school squad in
the city will set in moleskins for the
first time this week.
Main Avenue High School football
candidates answered "Spitz’’ Clarke’s
first call Monday afternoon and
Tuesday the coach was going around
beaming about prospects. Practice
began Tuesday afternoon.
Brackenridge High School will start

new loach Gaylord McMillan mem-
ber of the faculty has set Thursday

WEST TEXAS HARD HIT.
Stars Are Gone But New Coach Has
Hopes of Fast. Light Team.
The West Texas Military Acade-
my team which played high-class
football last year in the Academic
League was hard hit by graduation
last fall and half a dozen of the
bright stars of the eleven are miss-
ing this year. These men include
Bob and Earl Delaney halfbacks;
Quarterback Weaver; Center Phillips
and Webb Townsend and Fabj. ends.
Returning however are the fol-
lowing: Fullback "Bab" Townsend;
Tinkle Bilhartz Guards Andrews
and Wellborn nnd End Harrison
from i lie 1922 reserves. There is
considerable new material but it ap-
pears rather light and indications are
that the pref of the team will center
largely in Townsend the husky line-
smasher.
Gaylord McMillan faculty member
who will be the new conch in all
West Texas athletics will distribute
equipment Wednesday and call out
his candidates for first practice
Thursday. Coach McMillan is ex-
perienced in all major athletics hav-
ing played four years of football

"Spitz" Clarke and Guy Morrison.
Main High coaches will have a

dates most of whom reported for the
first football meeting at the school
Monday afternoon were in their
moleskins nt initial practice nt San
Pedro Park Tuesday afternoon. Al-
most a dozen of these were veterans
and ' a dozen more were transfers
from other high schools in Texas and
Oklahoma whose experience makes
them strong contenders for regular
berths.
From indications the Main team
is liable to average well nearly 17(1

ZEV OFF TRACK FOR
LONG TIME BECAUSE
OF INJURY TO FOOT
Loses Frog From Hoof;
May Be Ready for
Papyrus However.
New York Sept. 11.—Zev star
tbree-year-old will be off the track for
a long time due to the Joss of the
frog from his off fore foot. The little
triangular piece of cartilage which
grows just back of the middle of the
sole scuffed off near the half-tnil#
mark during the Lawrence realization
wilich be won lust wecK.
The injury is not permanent and
according to Sain Hildreth Zev's
trainer will not keep him from run-
ning .n the international match race
with Papyrus English derby winner
if he should be chosen for that honor
which seems likely.
The accident occurred near the fin-
ish of the race according to Hildreth
and accounted for the fact that the
horse appeared badly tired at the end.
Six weeks remain before the sched-
uled international race at Belmont
Park October 20 however and Hil-
dreth expressed .onfidenee that the
foot would be healed long before that
and Zev ready to run if selected as
this country’s representative. Hil-
dreth said the foot is now raw but
he thought two or three weeks would
bring it around to normal.
Should Zev be unable to return to
form however several other out-
standing three-year-olds loom as in-
ternational material. These include
Rialto and Untidy both of which lost
to Zev in the realization nnd My
Own and Wilderness which are jx-
pectcd to undergo tryouts icxt Satur-
day in the national trial sweepstakes
the final test for candidates to meet
Papyrus.
