Eder was seeking revenge for a 1936 defeat by Jannazzo. Jannazzo piled up a considerable advantage over Eder through the first seven rounds, using a fast left to keep Eder away.

The German began connecting with powerful rights to the head and body after the seventh, however. The decision was unpopular with the crowd which, attracted by Jan-nazzo's classy boxing style, felt the American should have been awarded the victory. Eder left the ring with a badly swollen face. Jannazzo's nose was bleeding as the fight ended. 1 Si (V DEOMIXEXT anions the remarkable flow of bombast that pours into sports desks throughout the country during football season are the super-super masterpieces dedicated to efrtain standout, or grudge, or "natural" games between two long-time rivals.

ADMISSION 55 'ipse I II, South Bend, Tnd. (AP) Two spectacular maneuvers, one a sudden bid through the air and the other a breathtaking thrust on the ground, carried Notre Dame's football legions to a 14-to-6 victory over Illinois yesterday.

Bonaventure ON THE HOUSE: Owens of Bonaventure is not unlike a fiction character. A benchwarmer, the redoubtable Owens is a honey when it comes to producing valuable points-after-touchdown. Coach Mike calls on him only to kick, and Owens has yet to work up a sweat. He's the fellow who beat Manhattan this season, and last yv-cz he did the same thing to St. Thomas.

That Notre Dsme did not score on sustained ground drives was due more to the inability of Irish backs to hang onto the ball than to Illinois' de fense.
