More evidence comes each day.

That some one has been tampering
And made a “rabbit” ball.
KILBANE SIZES
UP CARPENTIER
Fastest Heavy weight
I’ve Seen,’ Is His
Verdict
BY JOHNNY KILBANE.
Featherweight Champion.
MANHASSET, L. 1., June 10—I’ve
just made a close-up of Georges Car
pentier, the French challenger.
I called at his
barricaded training
camp on one of. his
visiting days, for I
wanted to see him
work when he
wasn’t performing
for public consump
tion.
I talked with him
afterward for more
than an hour on the
flower - bordered
front porch of the
old farm house in
which he is quar
tered.
Georges is the
fastest heavy-
KILBANE
weight I have seen.
nc h a s been using his
light hand mainly in public sparring
with Jeanette, Journee (who’s a
double for Al Palzer) and his other
partners, the challenger has- a won
derful left that is lightning fast on
jabs and hooKS. It _jvas with this
left hand that he jabbed hi * way with
■lfe Beckett to an onening
the Englishman’s chin in line for the
right-handed knockcut blow in the
first round.
His right cross is a dandy and he
has a “flying punch” that he seldom
uncorks and which I never have seen
used before. It may be that he’s
molding it out for July 2nd. When
an opening to the chin occurs
Georges, who is always on his toes,
veritably throws himself through the
air at his opponent, with his right
arm straight out before him. Every
ounce of steam and strength is be
hind his blow, and if it lands, it’s a
10 to 1 shot that a kayo will re
sult. Burly Joe Beckett crumpled
like paper when it collided with his
chin.
There’s been a lot of talk about
Carpentier’s “waltz punch.” It’s
nothing much more, as I see it, than
a series of rapid-fire left jabs to the
face, the Frenchman meanwhile danc
ing in and out and circling his op
ponent to make him turn.
Carpentier is training differently
than Dempsey. The champ is work
ing for strength, endurance and hit
ting ability; Georges is centering his
efforts on increasing his already
amazing . speed. Dempsey plans a
give-and-take-fight; the challenger’s
campaign calls for him to do most
of the giving and very little receiv
ing. For it’s generally admitted in
the Carpentier camp that should the
“man killer” get in one of bis fa
•ious “socks,” there would be little
ope for Georges.
Descamps figures Carpentier has
an excellent chance if he sticks to
long-range fighting, for the challeng
er packs a wicked wallop himself,
and is capable of delivery it while
traveling at high speed.
The Frenchman’s plan will be to
go into high in the first round and
stay out of a mix with the champ at
all cost. He’ll try to keep Dempsey’s
bull-like rushes with his stinging jabs,
watching always for an opening for
his “flying punch.”
Both the indoor and outdoor rings
at Manhasset are twelve-footers.
Georges is training in these for speed.
He‘ll go into the big bout accustom
ed to working a small area and the
20-foot ring at Jersey will give him
acres of roomSto dance away from the
champ. The smaller the ring, work
ing with Bib Journee and Jeanette,
Carpentier gets accustomed also to
working on the ropes, and if Demnsev
doe« crowd him into a corner on July
2nd, the challenger will be in better
shape to fight his way out than if
he had not been training for it.

Americus Boy Plays
Football At Oxford
ATHENS, June 10—Frank Harrold
Jr., of Americus, who is a University
of Georgia Rhodes scholar at Ox
ford University, in England, has
“won his colors” on the Rugby foot
ball team of Hertford college, Ox
ford, and has played on the tennis
■ team in every match this year. Ke is
on his way back to the United States I
for the summer vacation and will,
be at the University of Georgia for
commencement June 15.
“If a fellow in Georgia could just
come over here and take a look I
around Oxford for one week before |
he went to college, would work hini-i
self to death to get a Rhodes schol
arship,” Harrold writes to his friends
here. “It is ideal and the whole life
to me is more of a dream than a
reality. You can go all over the
world hunting for prettier spot than
Oxford during the summer time and
not find it.” .
Harrold is one of the five Uni
versity of Georgia men who have
been sent to Oxford as Rhodes schol
ars from Georgia, another Rhodes
•~eholar is to be elected this fall.
I Dr. R. P. Brooks, dean of the
chool of Commerce, is the state sec
retary for the appointment of Rhodes
scholars, and Dr. R. P. Stephens is
secretary for the University of Geor
gia. The scholarships offer Ameri
can boys an opportunity to study at
the most famous English universities
and to learn of conditions in Eng
land and on the continent. Each
Rhodes scholar gets an income of SI .-
750 ner year from the Rhodes schol
arship bequest.
