CANZONERI IS FIGHT VICTOR Chicago Stadium, Chicago, Sept. 28. — (U.R>- Tony Canzoneri, the slugging New York Italian, demanded a return bout with S<ygjny Mandell, lightweight champion, today as a result of a technical knockout of Eddie Mack, the Denver collegian, last night. Mack gave Canzoneri perhaps his hardest fight aside from the one Sammy Mandell put up against the swarthy Italian. The technical knockout came in the eighth round and Canzoneri was very lucky to score the punch. They were boxing near the ropes when Mack started fast footwork bat the Denver boy slipped slightly and literally fell Into a left hook. That punch dazed him but he refused to go down. Canzoneri rushed in with a series of lefts and rights and finally pushed his opponent to the floor. Mack refused to take a eount and came up but Referee Phil Collins grabbed him and prevented Canzoneri from inflicting further punishment. Up to the time that Mack went to the floor he had a shade in the fight. He ,won the first round with hts left jabs but lost the second when he apparently turned an ankle and could not get away from Canzoneri. He limped throughout that round and the next and that bad ankle may have had something to do with his slipping in the eighth round.

THE MORNING AFTER. Yellow Jackets, from all reports, vou played a good game for three and i half quarters — and against any Ohio football team, that's something We're still thoroughly convinced that the Yellow Jackets are much stronger than they were a year ago. and they're looking better each game. The dope is that Debolt plowed through for the big gains yesterday. Bryan won ami that’s that —-let's look to the future. Next Friday the lockets meet North Side at Fort Wayne. North Side has a good team —using a shift that causes comment because of its closeness to being illegal. (Nevertheless N. E. I. officials have ruled the shift legal and it's hard to stop the Redskins. Let's try our best tho' Jackets —and if you play the kind of football you're capable of playing YOU CAN WIN-

GERALD &MITLEY and JUNIOR FREELAND won the guessing t contest. Both boys picked Bryan by a; 12-point margin. We’ll split the award again and give each boy a ticket to the Bluffton game. Send in your guesses for the Deca-! tur-North Side game folks. We’re I ■till giving the winner two tickets to I the Bluffton-Decatur game October 25 : —and don't forget the first woman' or girl who wins the contest gets a J box of “Forget Me Not" candy. A heavy thick mist settled over Decatur today from the w-est. The Bluffton Tigers lost a "hard-fought" contest to Central of Fort Wayne. 94-6 Congratulations, Tigers for breaking into the scoring column. “Crowds on the Sidelines,” in the Huntington Herald-Press made lots of fun of Footbawls a few days ago for •elling folks to be sure and see THE MOST HARMLESS WILD ANIMAL IN CAPTIVITY,‘‘The Bluffton Tigerf’ “Crowds” went on to say that Bluffton had a wonderful team and then , stated that the Vikings had a slight ■ chance to win from the TIGERS. “Crowds” we like your column —we always read it and all the funny papers we can get our hands on. And we believe you're right that it will be plenty tough for the Vikings to beat the TIGERS. Don't be alarmed Kay and Pete and Roger—we hardly feel like commenting on the Bluffton-Central game because we play the Central teamers, I too. When a day comes that we can't glonjy the YELLOW JACKETS, we I can still —and do maintain — THAT AN OFFICIAL SHOULD CARRY A RULE BOOK WHEN OFFICIATING ANY ATHLETIC EVENT. This came in the mail: I "That famous slogan of Footbawls, |‘What, no rule book’ Is becoming ♦ more popular each day. What we’re

waiting for is Bluffton. Yours, As You Like It." “P. S. Send Kay a sucker and a ! book of rules on a kiddie car race." Now that Bluffton has played i»s two practice games, the Tigers probI ably will setle down to their regular schedule one of these days. Keep ' hammering away. Pete and Kay. you l still have the beautiful fall weather to talk about. BIG FRESH BULLETIN — Gunner El'iott worked the Bryan-Decatur ' game at Bryan Friday afternoon with ia rule book. Herb Curtis-saw it in Gunner's pocket and brought it home Jto Footbawls —we read it carefully last night, IT WAS A BASKETBALL RULE BOOK. I Let's take 'em as they come boys, j HEAT NORTH SIDE. The good offcials carry rule books -the less good ones carry alibis and ■ apoligies. ~ There's too much wrapped up in a high school athletic contest to have the results decided from memory. The final result of the BlufftonCentral game reminded us of the Lake county election returns. The world series start next week—and while our better judgment warns us to pick Philadelphia —we can t do
