Nothing Wrong, The Judge Says

CHICAGO, Nov. 2 (U. P)— Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw M. Landis, hospitalized here for a ‘general examination, will be back at work in “about a week,” his physician, Dr. Arthur PF. Byfield,

said today. » : : “There’s not a thing in the world wrong with

me, but I want my doctor's word" for it.”

Shock Troops To Ride Again

The Grange-Harmon controversy has grown so great on the Illinois campus that everything Harmon does Saturday probably will be compared to that history-making performance by Grange against Michigan in 1924 in which he carried the opening kickoff 98 yards to a touchdown and added three more after 12 minutes of play.. The Illini, considerably weaker than the Michigan team through which Grange flitted virtually unmolested, are gunning for Harmon

By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Nov. 2.—The “galloping ghost” of Harold (Red) Grange will be trailing Tommy Harmon in Illinois Memorial Stadium Saturday as the Michigan sensation attempts to prove he is a worthy successor to the famous redhead of 15 years ago. Illinois admits Harmon is good, but a long way from being another Grange. Here’s why: “Harmon likes to put his head down and bull his way through when he’s trapped,” said Scout Ray Duncan, who has scouted Michigan, in all its games. - “Grange had the finesse to work himself out of a

At New York in ’40

Seven of the eight games on the]

Times Special : SOUTH BEND, Ind. Nov. 2—To the shock troops will fall the burden of preserving Notre Dame’s fivegame winning streak as the Irish invade New York Saturday for their game with Army. Last week’s bruising 7 to 6 victory over Carnegie Tech left the ranks of the regulars depleted for the first time this season. Hardly a man who saw action agajnst the Tartans escaped without some bumps and bruises.

Tom Gallagher and Tad Harvey, start tackles, were almost certain to be on the bench, leaving the starting assignments up to Jim Brutz and Paul Lillis, sophomores.

Of the others on the hospital list, the more serious casualties were Steve Sitko, quarterback¢ Joe Thesing and Milt Piepul, fullbacks: Bob Saggau, left halfback; Lou Zontini, right halfback; Bud Kerr, left end and John McIntyre, center. Thesing will be able to play, and it is likely that some of the others will see action.

' Rockne Teams Recalled

Known since the days of the late Knute Rockne for the shock troop system, Notre Dame in recent years has had to cut down on the use of reserves because of "the class of competition played. Notre Dame used 24 men to Purdue’s 19, although the Boilermakers had 24 major lettermen available to Notre Dame’s 16. Georgia Tech used 25 men to Notre Dame's 35, or 24 for the Irish excusing a brief appearance of the third team in the second half. Southern Methodist overmatched Notre Dame, 31 men to 24. Navy had more men in uniform than did Notre Dame at Cleveland 10 days ago. Notre Dane used 28 men to Navy's 24.

Use 26 Men Apiece

Carnegie Tech and Notre Dame used 26 men apiece last Saturday, and the Irish regulars bore most of the load, as they have in all other games to date. Every ohe of Notre Dame’s five opponents started fourth-quarter drives which required that the weary regulars return for last-ditch stands. Purdue is the only team to date that hasn’t scored in the final period. The Cadets will have more men in uniform this week, since the Irish operate under a, self-imposed rule which permits only 36 men to make each trip. i The Irish were to leave without

Referee Arthur Donovan insinuated, “This is the end of the comeback trail for Canzoneri,” when he waved toward his corner young Davis, that brindled-bull bomber from Brooklyn’s Brownsville, at 2:13 of the third round after he had had Tony on the floor twice in that fatal session.

12,750 Fans Agree

Every one of the 12750 spectators in Madison Square Garden admitted that Donovan acted correctly. But Canzoneri disagreed. He sat in his hotel room, nursing a gashed right brow and a cut inside his upper lip. He said, “I've been fighting 14 years, and this is the first time I've ever been stopped or kayoed. It wasn't fair. It was a sentimental T. K. O. I wasn’t hurt at all, but Donovan thought I was. I wasn’t even warmed up.” His manager, Sammy Goldman, said, “you're perfectly right, Tony.” But he said it with tears in his eyes and assured reporters from the corner of his mouth. . “Tony through. He'll never fight again.” Goldman is right. The great Canzoneri—one of the grandest warriors ever to toss leather—is washed up completely. Tony’s farewell to arms was not very dramatic. It was disappoint ingly prosaic. Largely because Tony had lost his punch and had nothing to fight with.

Davis Sets Pace in Second

Canzoneri had neither legs nor larrup last night. His 'ringeraft enabled him to win the first round, Young Davis,, unbeaten in 35 fights, continued to set the pace in the second sessicn, while Tony still retreated flat-footedly. In the third session, Davis’ left hook exploded on Tony’s chin after a minute and a half of milling. Tony hit the canvas on his haunches, He struggled to his feet, at the count of four. Then Davis shot over a straight right that proved the coup de grace. Tony crumpled to the canvas, but his heart count of-seven. \ Donovan wasn’t interested in his heart. He stopped the fight and sent Canzoneri igto permanent retirement. :

Kudo Is Matched With Lansdowne

The tricky Kiman Kudo, Japanese mat ace, and the clever and skilled Lord Lansdowne, Barrington, England, will decide “who's who” in wrestling ability next Tuesday night at the Armory. : The bout, lined up today by Matchmaker Lloyd Carter, has been in the making for several months and is figured as the outstanding “natural” offered here so far this season. By pairing Lansdowne and Kudo, Promoter Carter is bringing together two of the best licht heavvweights in the game.
