Ed HoNooley at Commercial Field
for practice this afternoon. And the
greatest drill of the season thus far
was the result. The big scarlet and

.Coach McNeeiey who took advan-
tage of the number or players on
hand. Ed Hunsinger, former No-
vtre Dame star. was ihe most promi-

day. .
Hun-inger looked to be fit enough
to start right away. He said that
most of his summer badbeeh spent
at manual labor and that his phy-
Iieai condition was as good as it ever
had been on returning.to college.
Ed Garvey, the big Notre Dame
lineman. also showed up for the
first time.
Garvey has a little surplus weight
to work cit. but he will need that
to practice on if Coach Mcheley
drives the squad for the rest of the
week as he did yesterday.

clusion of yesterday's practice sea-A

night of September 14. 1923. That
was the evening that Jack was
knocked through the ropes and out
onto a porlnbiu typewriter being
opt-tilled by an industrious sports
writer.
The question that is uppermost in
the minds oi‘ every sporting author-
lly i.. the country is: "Just how far
has Dempsey slipped?" They all
seem to agree that Jack has slipped
some. he has not been showing the

ber of any boner in the class of
Tommy Louuhran walking into

boning lesson. It couldn't be done
in those days.
\Vllt'n Jack was training for those
bouts, it our recollection serves us
right. spurring partners were at a
prumium. No oil-.- cared to work out
with champion for fear of being
knookcd into the next world. but
all of that has changed in this
campaign and many of his partners
have taker. his right on the whiskers

rctiiained iu the camp. Johnnie

one of Jack's hard smashes and
went to sleep. [but the blow did not
stop Johnnie and he was right back
the following day.
Jack has always been a mark for
a right hand. Firpo nearly put him
out. of commission. but Jack over-
came the South American and won
the fight. Tunney has never had a
very dangerous right hand. The
training camp reports state that he
has developed a. wicked right cross.

put Jack out of commission.
