tween Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier would be a financial fizzle were inclined to believe to day that such a scrimmage might be staged abroad with fair profit Would Like Return Bout There have bejn' reports' from time to time that the renchman again might like to face Dempsey and this Is confirmed by dispatches from camp abroad after his victory over Cook the Australian heavyweight Dempsey's manager said the champion was ready to defend his title any time the guarantees were posted Rickard admits that there will be no money In another Dempssy Car pentier battle at 'v least in the United States But' abroad? Carpentier is still the super fighter of Europe having promptly disposed of his English rench an i colonial heavyweight opponents While his decisive defeat by Demp sey came as something of a sur prise

point where a knockout could be landed without the peril of retalia tion in a toe to toe nnxup Concede Him Chance Realizing tile boxing skill speed and footwork of Carpentier many of his supporters abroad are in clined to believe that such a ring campaign might succeed Dempssy's appearance might prove a strong drawing card for he would be at least an even money favorite against Carpentier whereas In the past the renchman has ruled long odds on favorite in his with Bombardier Wells Bsckett Cook and other heavy weights If Georges sticks to his proposed plan of boxing Dempsey ut long range it is probable that European spectators would witness a longer contest than Carpentier has staged in the past Owing to financial conditions abroad attendance and gate receipts would not likely approach those in Jersey City Dempsey however has no worthy opponent for a bout next summer and might be willing to box abroad for considerably less than he from Rickard for facing Carpentier Plenty of Precedent There are plenty of precedents for giving Carpentier a return match Jim Jeffries after winning the heavyweight title from Bob itz simmons in 11 rounds gave him a second chance and

to con sider changes in the rules it will be urged to make'special provision for fumbled balls over tho goal lne This request will be made by prominent ofllclals in various parts ot the country During the year several scarps have been lost because players fail ed to hold the oval after crossing the goal line In most cases the tumble has been recovered by one o' the defending team in which event the play was called a touchback Dead After Out of Bounds There is a Tula in football that the ball shall he declared dead when the oval or any part ot the play er's person carrying the ball is of bounds It no difference whethirsuch player fumbles after he has crossed the side line because all play automatically stops the mo ment the bail is blown out of bounds As the rule has been changed rela tive to tho goal kick after touch down tho ball should be declared dead the moment it has crossed the goal lineaccording to officials who urge Its passage Under the old rule when the ball was brought into tho field at right angles to tho goal line from thurspot where it was declared dead in goal there was some excusa for a player to carry the ball directly tinder the posts In order to give the kicker the best oportunlty to boot it between tho posts for the extra point which lids decided many hard fought struggles Approved by OHlcials Since the rules have been amend ed and now permit the ball to he brought Into the field of play di rectly In front ot the goal posts there is no excuse for further ac tion after thu ball has crossed the goal line or this reason official i assert that calling the ball dead as soon as it crosses the goal will ligliten their responsibilities and save scores fur teams which in the future may make spectacular marches to the goal line only to have the oval fumbled when tho scoring Uno Is crossed Some of the leading coaches and officials in the country are strongly In favor of such a rule and some of them assert tho point has not been called to the attention of
