DEMPSEY A CAVE MAW

TUNNEY IS .GENTLEMANLY NEW ZEALANDER'S IMPRESSIONS WELLINGTON, Wednesday. Mr. Amos, head of Hanks College, returned by the Tahiti from America. He is convinced that New Zealand is not getting any thine;- like value for the money it is spending on education. He cannot help thinking that New Zealand students do not value the facilities provided sufficiently. Spoon-feeding has made them accustomed to getting things too easily. Mr. Amos took much notice of the Kports .side of American life. The stadiums and playing grounds are very.line. He attended one of the biff athletic meetings at Philadelphia, and incidentally visited Dempsey *s and Tunne.y's training camps. .Ho'was not surprised Tunney won. When he was there in August Tunney was looking very bright. At his camp lie bad only trainers, and sparring partners. At Dempsey's camp two dollars admission was charged for the spectacle of his training, and the camp was filled with men and women. Dempsey spent most of his week-ends in New York. The men were of widely differing types. "Dempsey is a cave man, but Tunney is a quiet, unassuming, gentlemanly and quiet-living chap, whom one likes," concluded Mr. Amos.
