TZ G.KZL'.ll, SATT.TDAT. CCTC2ZH It, 13!" Glory Road Ends for Joe Louis as Marciano Kayos Him in 8th Round Issue Warning to Forum Youthful Power Stops Former Champ DINK Be beated tarry Monday Wight 1 I By JACK HAND New York, Oct. 26 Loui3 sprawled at the end of the glory road tonight a stunning technical knockout victim of the crunching fists of savage Rocky Marciano, slugging son of a Brockton, shoemaker in 2.36 of the eighth round at Madison Square Garden. JW a Playing the Field- Every hockey fan in Montreal knows that Princess Elizabeth 8nd the Duke of Edinburgh are going to honor the Forum and the National Hockey League by attending the game Monday night between Canadiens and the New York Rangers. Frank Selke, general manager of the Forum, announce that certain arrangements have been made to make things as easy as possible for those who plan to attend the game.

No street cars will run between Peel street and Greene avenue from 7.59 pm. until after the Roya! Couple have reached the Forum, which fhould be around 8.30 p.m. The street car service will again be halted wnen they leave the building. It is imperative that ail Referee Ruby Goldstein never bothered to count when a stunning left hook and right to the jaw dumped the once great Brown Bomber on the ring apron in helpiess condition. The balding 37-year-old vet had just got up from an eight-count knockdown when the end came.

While a near capacity crowd rocked and rolled with the impact rata a ar Since 15)34 For Old I IT. I a -A of this sensational upset. Louis stretched on his back out for several seconds. i The Marciano crowd from New England swarmed to ringside in wild-eyed exuberance at the suc-jcess of their favorite son, a to 5 underdog. Stopped for the second time in his glorious 17-year career and for the first time since Max Schmeling knocked him out in Yankee Stadium June 19.

1936. Louis was a badly beaten shadow of his old self. Probably the largest crowd ever to see a fight watched along the links of a coast-to-coast television network as a great ex-champion came to the end' of the road. Youth And Power Too Much The youth of 27 years and the power of this untamed bulky bny was too much for the man who I held the neavyweignt xuie longer than any other. Louis weighed 212, to 187 for Marciano.

With the knockout loss went Louis' dreams of becoming the first i man ever to recapture the heavy- weight crown. Now, he can go and muse about his spent youth with others who tried and failed. All three officials had Marciano on top going into the eighth round. Referee Ruby Goldstein had if 4-2-1. Judge Joe Agnello, 5-2.

and Judge Harold Barnes. 4-3. The AU jcard also had it, 4-2-1. All gave Louis the fourth and fifth. Barnes a PO save him the third, and fJnlri I stein called that even.

i Louis' 2554 pound advantage and, his nine-inch eage reach did him no good against this determin ed ex-GI who learned how to fight in fie army.

The St. Catherine street doors will be closed at 8 p.m. and anyone entering tne building after that time will have to use the Atwater or Closse street entrances. There will be no parking permitted on the Atwater side. The Royal Party will watch the igame from a location just west jof the south goal.

The inside centre door leading to the promenade from the lobby will not be open to the public at any time. A military band will be in attendance after 7.45 p.m. Canadiens play the Rangers in New York tomorrow night and both teams will entrain for Montreal right after the game. It was announced in New York yesterday that the Rangers have acquired Jimmy Conacher from the Chicago Black Hawks in. a straight waiver deal.

The 30-year-old Conacher played 52 games last season for the Hawks, scoring 10 goals and adding 27 assists. He had started the current campaign as a holdout. Conacher, a veteran of six seasons in the N.H.I., will make his debut tomorrow night with the Rangers against Canadiens in Madison Square Garden. Chesher New Head Of Calgary Stamps Calgary. Oct.

In our lexicon, the Old Executioner is John P. Metras, of the Western Mustangs, who has devoted the last two years to scuttling the championship hopes of the McGill Redmen and the large body of alumni who support tr.em. Vic Obeck. coach of the Redmen, went underground for six weeks af'er la5t November's debacle, so stunned was he by the manner in which the Mustangs had run roughshod over his boys. It wasn't until the Christmas holidays that he trusted himself to mix in organized society again.

By that time he had gulped down bis disappointment nd was able to talk about the playoff game. "Johnny Metras Is still the best coach in the country," said Vic, and let it go at that Maybe he is, too, though high-class material has a way of making a coach look good. That was a pretty good backfield the Old Executioner had last season, if you care to look at it. He had George Ar-noti, Doug Gcay. Blake Taylor and the McFarlane brothers.

Bob and n. T-ylor and Gray are now with the Hamilton Ti-Cats and the former is a standout. George Arrott is a safety back with the Toronto Argos. The aien't playing this season, but they were 8 pros to be the best men in that Western backfield a year ago. You can't lose a whole backfield like that without encountering trouble and the Old Executioner is running into plenty of it.

The Mustangs lost two of their first three games this season, which was enough to stimulate his critics. In spite of his great record, the report is around that his job at Western is now uncertain. We don't know if anyone has been mentioned as a possible replacement, but he would have to be a Rockne or a Leahy to improve on the job that Metras has done and they're sre-'t many of those guys around. The Redmen Can't Coast The story is out that after the Redmen beat the Mustangs in London last Saturday for the first time in 16 years, student opinion was polled on the question: "What do you think of Metras as a coach?" Some of them were lukewarm in their admiration for the Old Executioner, claiming that he played favorites. You heard the same thing last year and the fellow who was supposed to be in disfavor with Metras at that time was Don McFarlane.

It's too bad the pair didn't stay apart until after the season was over berause McFarlane was the big gun in the Mustangs' attack when they thumped the Redmen in that playoff game. Craches all employ psychology in an attempt to get the best out of their players. If Metras thought that McFarlane required needling to get mad enough to give his best, it looks as though he was right. It may not make him popular, but it does win games. Yet it will bounce back when the material is thin and the team loses a few, as is happen ng now.

But you can never let up against a Metras-coached team, which is something Vic Obeck knows. The Old Executioner always has something new in the way of bootlegs and handoffs to puzzle you and maybe set you back on your heels If the Redmen are going to win today, thev won't do it coasting. The Galloping Gaels from Queen's could do a lot to tighten the race in the college-union, if they could upset the Varsity Blues today. But they are riddled by injuries and it will be' a bit of surprise if they can turn the trick. Second-guessing the Quarterback The Alouettes play their last home game here tomorrow against the Toronto Argos.

It isn't an important game for them because they aren't going anywhere, but it is important to the Argos. A loss might that they would finish out of the playoffs. The play-calling has been under criticism all season, ftsrecially as they have blown so many chances inside tile 10-yard line. Etif they are r.ot alone. The Detroit Lions in the big pro league acres: the border have been under fire, especially their quarterback.

Bobby Layne. Here is a mythical conversa'ion reported in a Detroit newspaper: "All over town evrybody is panning Bobby Layne's quarterbacking for the Lions," shouted Mr. Positive. "Who's everybody?" whispered Mr. Negative.

"I'm panning him," emphasized Mr. Positive. "Why?" (softly), "Because (loudly) I'm listening to the game" on the radio and what do I hear? Nothing but pass, pass, pass, pass. I said it, as many as five passes in a row. What kind of football it that? No deception.

Nutt Nuttin' at all. They outghta call it armball. not football." Mr. Ncgathe 'sweetly "What would you propose?" Mr. Positive (angrily): "What'd I do? Nuts, that's a silly question.

You makin' fun of me?" Mr. Negative: "Gosh, no, go on." Mr. Positive: "Well, if you knew anything about football, you wouldn't have to ask you'd know what I'd do. I'd keep 'em guessin Lane's got Doak Walker, Pat Harder. Don Doll and a lot of others, hasn't he? If I had em.

I'd smash the line, go inside and outside the tackles, a-ound the ends. I'd mix 'em up and mix up the passes with my attack. That't what I'd do. Wouldn't you?" Mr. Negative (subtly): "Well, I know I would go out to Briggs S'adium.
