If he isn’t, he should be. After seeing the South f American challenger in action again Tuesday aft ernoon, we are still more inclined to the thought that he hasn’t but one chance to whip the cham pion. After watching him in a second workout, if he dethrones Dempsey it will be by a wild right band swing. One blow. If Firpo wins, it won’t be a matter of battering Dempsey down and then slipping over the sleep potion. If Dempsey tastes defeat it will be through one lick with all of F i r p o ’ s strength behind it. The mors <ne sees of the "Wild Rull* the greater the impression of brute strength and very little else In reserve. Tuesday afternoon, after ski,*! ping rope for a few terrifically ex-" citing minutes, Firpo shadow boxed for five minutes. He then donned» und’er cover, and if lie hat?, should go on the 'stage for be Is certainly a splendid actor. Out again tomorrow to watch the man who many think will take the title from Jack Dempsey.

Georgia, Florida and Furman are certain to givo the Rattling Baptists rjenty* opposi tion, while the other six games ai* expected to push Mercer all tho way. To w undertake this strenuous schedule, It cannot be said that Mercer is more than fnirly well fortltled. according to athletic of ficials. Coa^h Josh Cody, who pil oted the Bautirts for three years, has returned to Vanderbilt as as sistant to Dan McGugin. Succeeding Yody, Stanley L. "Robbie” Robinson, naturally faces all the problems which come when nny now athletic mentor assumes the responsibility for turning out a winning team. Robinson comes to Mercer from Mississippi College after a brilliant record as tutor and followers of the Orango and Blqck .have great faith In his abi lity. They realize, however, that It takes time for a new chieftan to show any great progress. FAIR NEUCLEUS WILL RETURN \ From the 1922 eleven, Mercer will return a fair neucleits. Captain Carl Lancaster, guard; Sid John son, 210 pound center; E«1 Irwin, one of the outstanding ends in the south; Ike Cowart, tackle; McWil liams, end; Carthron, guard; Dash er, tackle, and Shlflett, tackle, are lost from the regulars, i In the death of "Coot” Shlflett, Mercer has lost one of the finest prospects ever at the University. Hts place will be bard to fill. Irwin's going takes fromthe Or ange and Black, the greatest for ward passer and punter 1 recently enrolled at Mercer. Coach Robin son Is having trouble developing a man to fill his position. Returning to the fold will be Rogers, Relder, Poore, Carmon, El lison, lOaptaln-eloct "Kid” Cecil Rice, Maddox, Pope, Womack, | Gaines, “Consuello’ Smith, Lynch, | Bally, 7 McClain, Simmons.
