While In Europe Dempsey stated that he was ready to fight Carpentler at any time the Frenchman might select. But Carpentler, when a return match with Dempsey had berm arranged, put off the date until next year, Dempsey returned home In excellent health, but when he heard of Rickards plan to pit him against Wills, the only heavyweight who has an even chance to win the title.

These two lade proved5fro be the East high mainstays this season. Benton was always good for a place In the broad jump and 220, and In the century he proved unbeatable. Lon Kump was the Leopards' big asset In the mile and the events. Kump was sure of a place In each of these events whenever he was entered. He took the mile In the state meet and placed second in the In the division meet, he was the winner of the closest mile run that has ever teen witnessed here, he winning over Alex Hoggan of the West by a foot.

The Jordan crew finished second end West high was third In the baseball race. At the end of the eeason the East and Jordan teams were tied, each having lost one game and won the remainder of their contests. However, the leopards were able to wallop the Beetdlggers in a special game played on the Granite diamond. A veteran crew of stars hailed from the school in this sport, chief Leopard among whom were Dave Smith, Babe and Bob Meyer, Valerie Glynn, Bevo Beers, Joe Banont, Prouse. Peterson, Roberts and Vorse. Each of these lads displayed exceptional ability in both hitting and fielding lines. Chub Smith was probably one of the best players the Leopards have ever had on second base. Smith handled htg position with the ease and ability of a veteran, In addition to hitting the pill frequently. Geliy Miller, formerly of West high, played stellar tall in the field for the East.
