: STRIFE SHOOK the armory last night at the professional boxing card presented by the Herclues A..C.... ~ The excitement occurred before 3000 fans in the main go “ booked for 10 rounds after Willard Reed, just out of the ~ local Golden Gloves amateur ranks, flattened ‘Leo (Red) Bruce, state heavyweight pro champ, in the first round.
Bruce’s title was not at stake as
. pionship bout by the Indiana state athletic commission, , .
it was not sanctioned as a cham=- . Under
. commission rules a title is at stake only over the scheduled 12-round route. , . , Be that as it may, Willard Reed today was hailed as the state's uncrowned heavyweight champion by the bulk of the fistic
, fans who saw last night's bout.
Reed, the ex-Tech high school football star, watched his old team
* fall before Shortridge yesterday afternoon and evidently decided he had to get even with somebody when he climbed into the armory ring last night. Shortly after the starting = bell, the adversaries exchanged light lefts and then Reed poked a hard, straight left to Bruce's chin. . , . Bruce was “coming in” at the moment and the blow was doubly effective. . . . The champ was floored for the count of four. It was the beginning of the end. ..,. After a couple of clinches and a flourish of gloves, Reed staggered Bruce with a righthand wallop.
The knockout was in the making. ©

ago a desperate band of Green Bay of first place in the western division
clash for tenseness and suspense. Two spectators dropped dead. Nine others ‘were treated for heart attacks in the climactic fourth quarter. ' Tomorrow the same teams bring the 1942 championship race, to its peak under identical circumstances. Green Bay, seeking revenge, for a 44 to 28 licking in the opening game of the season and clinging to what it regards as its last chance to remain a factor in the race, pits its incomparable passing combination of Isbell to Hutson against the balanced power of the unbeaten cham-

Dazed Bruce Storms Around Ring STILL DAZED from the Reed “blitz,” Bruce wanted to continue
boxing and put on a one-man riot in the ring. . .
. Apparently the
champ thought he had received a short count and he stormed around
the roped arena. . .
. Seconds from both corners, trainers, the referee
and announcer were forced to restrain the enraged Bruce by pinning
him against the ropes.

Three Other Games
Duplication of last year’s success, when they triumphed, 16 to 14, will send the Packers into a tie with the Bears. Defeat in this 48th renewal of football’s bitterest rivalry will eliminate them from title consideration. While the Packers strive to haul the Bears back into the league, Washington will invade New York bent on extracting a measure of revenge for the 14 to 7 defeat the Giants handed them last Sept. 27 on the sum and total of one yard gained by rushing, no first downs and one forward pass. Other games on the day’s schedule bring Philadelphia and BrookIyn together in Ebbets field in the Dodgers’ last appearance before a home crowd and send Detroit, the only team in the league without a victory, to Cleveland, where the Rams will be saying farewell for the season to local supporters.

McGovern Sets Scoring Mark
By UNITED PRESS The terrific tike Eddie McGovern pushed his nation-wide scoring record to 165 points last night by racing to 30 out of 48 points as Rose Poly swamped Principia (Ill) college, 48-0. McGovern continued: his amazing pace by ripping off four touchdowns
and kicking six extra points. The 20-year-old star sprinted 55 yards on one attempt and went over twice from the one and once from the seven, besides setting up markers for his teammates. The wee Eddie caused the pessimistic Coach Paul Brown, who should be honorary member of the wailing wall, to try to schedule another ‘game this year. Brown was dismal as the season opened, thinking his inexperienced team didn't stand a show, but Rose Poly has won four and lost one in the conference, while McGovern has prought more honor to the engireeering school than a thousand _ {league titles in the Hoosier state. McGovern, as always, was ably backgrounded by Francis Hillenbrand, cousin of I. U.’s famous Bill, who scered two touchdowns. McGovern’s 165 points breaks the listed previous record of Jack Hunt who tallied 160 for Marshall college in 1940. In the other college battle of the night, Valparaiso’s strong machine defeated River Forest, 13-6.
Two Washington Clash for Title
By UNITED PRESS The big clash for the state title that Hoosier fans have been anticipating all season became a reality today. The two Washingtons—East Chicago and South Bend—took victories to ‘win their respective divisions in the northern conference last night, and will tangle in the annual playoff game, possibly two weeks from today. Washington of East Chicago sank a powerful Roosevelt team in an all-city battle, 19-13, to cop the western division title for the first time in history. Washington of South. Bend downed South Bend John Adams, 24-14, to capture the eastern division flag for the second straight year in another city contest. Shortridge of Indianapolis’ also completed a perfect-record season yesterday by nosing out Indianapolis Tech, an ancient rival, 9-6, by virture of an extra point and a safety. In another smportait game, a strong Hammond Clark squad tied the favored Whiting team, 6-6.
there been anyone in any boxing Jack at Madison Square Garden last
missionaries called him “Louis Fall.” Beau Jack was born at Augusta, Ga. He never knew his father. He has faint recollection of his mother. His grahdmother first called him Beau Jack and a truant officer insists that his name is Sidney Walker. Maybe so. The boxing world will remember the bull-shouldered Negro from Georgia as Beau Jack, if for no other reason than his upset victory last might over highlytouted Allie Stolz of Newark, N. J.
He had not been beaten since the summer of 1941. But, as Jack Dempsey once. said, “it doesn’t matter what you know in the fight business, it's largely a question of where you came from —and how.” Dempsey, who came up ‘the hard way, claims that is. the only route in 99 of 100 cases, that a fighter can batter on to greatness. The Manassa mauler’s philosophy gained robust support when Beau Jack won that technical knockout over Stolz in the seventh round. Savage Lambasting Beau Jack is a savage fighter. He is such a menacing bundle of wiry muscle and brown skin that New Yorkers and those who saw him win those battles royal in Augusta decided that he was worth bringing to’ New York—up to" the big time. His savagery and effectiveness in those . Georgia, battles royal, in which he: was the last of six or seven Negroes left in the ring, led to formation of a ‘“syndicate” of sportsmen for the sole purpose of bringing him to New York. That syndicate included many of the country’s most prominent sportsmen, Hence, this muscular Negro, who can neither read nor write and who is given an allowance:of $5 a week, came to be called the “Stork club battler.” Many of the smart-money boys along 49th st. figured that Beau Jack was made to order for their
contender.
in at. the unexpectedly low weight of 132%, the odds lengthened to 18-5 in Stolz’ favor. : But Beau Jack, his body hard-
ened by toil since his orphan days,| *0.
treated the fans to a night of savage and primitive lambasting. He threw punches from all angles as persistently as did the great Henry Armstrong in his heyday. He missed a lot of them, but he kept coming in — swinging — as Stolz melted before him. He could have kept up this terrific pace for 15 rounds, although the fight was
scheduled only for 10.

Sammy Angott Quits Boxing
WASHINGTON, Pa., Nov, 14 (U. P.) —Lightweight champion Sammy Angott announced here last night that he was quitting the ring “for good,” because of an injured Tight hand. . “Yes,' I've quit for good,” Angott said. “My right hand’s been bothering me ever since I fought Bob Montgomery in Philadelphia about two years ago. “I've had it operated on and treated since, but it got bad after every fight.” I took on three boys in one night at Bowling Green, Ky., a few weeks ago in a U. S. O. benefit, which only made it worse. I guess I'm though for good.”
No Gas, No Golf
Park Board Considers Plan to Suspend Maintenance.
YOU HAD BETTER not figure on buying any new golfing equipment this winter because there’s only about one chance in 10 that there’ll be any golf courses open here to play on next spring. Members of the city park board are seriously considering plans to suspend maintenance work on the municipal courses and close them. Jackiel Joseph, board .president, said he had collected information on- golf courses in the East where they have had ‘gasoline rationing most of the summer. “The reports are that so few golfers risked wasting their gasoline in getting to the courses that all of the golf managers considered’ it useless to run them,” he said. Board members agreed to wait and check the results of gasoline rationing on golfing here before taking action.

The First Break
Shortridge got the first break of the game and made the most of i early in the game. Johnny Dobkins, Tech halfback, dropped back to punt. A bad pass from - center sailed over his head. He recovered and fumbled ‘for a 25-yard loss, Don Rogers, Shortridge end, recove ered it on the Tech 15. Jim Aller= dice, Ray Stone and George Lewis lugged the ball to the 4. A 15-yard penalty pushed Shortridge back but Allerdice picked that up again on one play and hit the line three times before scoring. Rogers place= kicked the extra point. A 52-yard Shortridge march was stopped by Tech on its own 2-yard line in the second quarter. After receiving the ball on downs the Tech quarterback erred. He had the wind behind him for a punt, He selected Dobkins for a right end run but Dobkins was nailed in the end zone for a safety and two points for Shortridge. Allanson, High Scorer From then on Tech kept pushing Shortridge back. In the third period Allerdice punted out of danger from his own 10. Dcbkins took the balk on his own 40, raced for the side- . lines and down the field to score. He was hit twice on the way. Bill Stratton’s placekick attempt was very low. In the remaining mine utes Tech took to the air in a futile attempt to overcome the lead. In another city series contest yes- { terday Washington scored its third triumph of the year besting Cathedral, 13 to 7, thus sharing third place in the city standings with Tech.
