v. fc -c. i C4 All of Newburgh will be down Saturday to see Bud Kerr, the town's current favorite son and fair-haired boy (literally) do his stuff for Notre Dame against Army. Well, it'll just about bust everyone's heart if Bud doesn't get into that lineup, everyone's that is, except Army's. Bud, at this writing, has come down with a serious kidney bruise.

You see, Bud is the "Horseshoe Harry" of his team. He is the lad who snatched a fumble for Notre Dame's winning touchdown last week. And, if he doesn't answer that kiekoff whistle Asfx iated Press ireloto) Challedon streaks for the first turn past the judges stand in the Pimlico Special yesterday a length and a half in front of Kayak 2d. Kayak, which engaged the winner in a brilliant stretch duel, des' per at el chases with all feet off the ground. Cravat is last as he was all the way.

Eddie Arcaro is up on Challedon. Driving Onward To the Turn C5 CA 0 Bud also helped Tech to its six points, inadvertantly and blamelessly enough. Condit opened a drive on his 12-yard line which carried to a first down on the Irish 18. Three plays made it fourth down on the 15. Condit faded back to pass.

Kerr broke through, got a hand on the ball, and sent it looping into the air. It dropped into the hands of Gerald White, Tech fullback, and he went to the six-yard line to pave the way for Condit's touchdown. Thus the Scots benefited from Kerr's alertness. Jock Sutherland, late of Pitt, was a press box spectator at the game, and his authoritative voice mentioned Kerr as one of the best linemen, and certainly the best end, on the field in this vicious battle of lines. AD Davns Sftops Caimsv Din 2:13 off 3d Round By Jack Mahon The pitiful picture of a once great fighter was ripped to shreds and smeared with the blood of gallantry at the Garden last night as young and ambitious Al Davis battered his way to a three-round technical knockout over little, battle-scarred Tony Canzoneri.

Davis, the unbeaten knockout artist from Brooklyn, suddenly ripped into action after two listless rounds, and, with a storm of dynamite-laden left hooks, sent the veteran ex-champ i i.ii atiNiitehM-1 ion to the canvas twice in the third. After taking counts of four and five Canzoneri stag sisted they shouldn't have stopped it. Sam Goldman, his manager, Bruins Trade Sands to Canadiens just as firmly insisted that the Notre Dame fans, who considered Earl Brown of the Irish tha best left end in football last Fall, insisted that Kerr was the second best. He scored Notre Dame's touchdown on an end-around play to beat Carnegie, 7-0, in 1938. He made a circus catch of a long pass from Bob Saggau during the colorful Army game of last year.

Ha distinguished himself further as a blocker, pass receiver, and defensive end on many occasions. Boston, Nov. 1 JP). The trading of Charley Sands, right winger, to Les Canadiens for Herb Cain, left winger, was announced tonight by Manager Art Ross of the Bruins. Ross said that the addition of Cain, who played for the Maroons before that club was disbanded, would add strength to his third line.

This year they're comparing him with Brown and Wayne Millner, 1935 All-America. He perhaps lacks Brown's speed and agility and Millner's -ruggedness, but he has a fine combination of both. Like Millner and Brown, he is a non-Catholic. Kerr's rise at Notre Dame must come as somewhat of a surprise to his old teammates at Newburgh Free Academy. He came to Notre Dame because of "the high recommendation of friends." He didn't come as a football star, certainly, for he is the first to admit his mediocrity as a high school player.

"I was of more use to the band than the team," he said, "and consequently I played trumpet for three years. I made a letter as a senior," Bud admitted, "but you know how high school letters are. I wasn't even on the first team. I wasn't very good at the trumpet, but I was really punk on the football field." gered to his feet dazed. Referee Arthur Donovan took one look at the bleeding, helpless hulk of a former ring great and topped the contest in 2:13.

It was no contest once Davis opened up. Al, cautious and refusing to cut loose in the first two round, allowed Canzy to wage a brief flurry in the opener and Tony took it by a shade. At the End of the Trail. Al continued to miss and Tony continued to clinch in the second. Davis managed to drive Canzy against the ropes halfway through this round and weakened him with several fair shots to the head.

Tony rallied with a couple of looping rights to the ribs, but it was apparent the end was near. Tony was fighting flat-footed, his arms appeared filled with lead and his lips were cut and bleeding at the bell. It wasn't long after the third began that Davis sent Canzy into the ropes with a left hook to the stomach. Another to the chin and a third to the head dumped him for a count of four. When he wobbled to his feet, Davis was on him in an instant and sent him flying against the ropes near his own corner.

Lefts and rights burst frantic, little Canzy's face in a harrowing bombardment and, fight was Tony's last and whether Canzoneri liked it or not, he was now going to hang up his gloves. Tony weighed 143 and Davis 146. The judges were Bill Nealy and Tommy Shortell, while Arthur Donova nrefereed. Promoter Mike Jacobs estimated a crowd of 12,750 paid $30,793.09 to watch the show.

1 (If). George Seabury, giant tackle, and Bob Johnson, guard, were reported ailing today, giving Yale's chances of defeating Dartmouth here Saturday a serious setback. Both players, the former suffering from a bad leg and the latter out with a bruised shoulder, may be unavailable. finally, when his legs refused to support his heart little Tony fell. Somehow he got to his feet.

Donovan looked at him standing there, beaten and at the end of the trail, and with a wave of his hands, stopped the fight. At that instant the first knockout, technical or otherwise, was written against the ring record of Tony Conzoneri. And there, too, the little guy from New Orleans reached journey's end after a career which carried him o'er the steps of the mighty in the last fifteen years. In his dressing room following the fight, however, Canzoneri in MJMaaaMMaaWaCaMalamiTanl ataBMaa Challedon Wins Special By Al Copland Baltimore, Nov. 1.

Mighty Challedon, Maryland's beloved bay colt, returned to the scene of his Preakness triumph this afternoon and, after a brilliant stretch duel with Kavak II. winner of the $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap, won the third running of the rimlico Special. Under a brilliant ride by Eddie Arcaro. the "horse of the year" drew awav in the last 100 vards to win by a half length in 1:59 as 25,000 admirers roared their approval in the chill of a half ahead of Kayak the The determination he inherited from an English father and a French-Canadian mother has come to the fore in the past eight years, though. Bud worked for four years, after he got out of high school, so he could go to Notre Dame.

Now 23 years old he'll be 24 November 10 he is only one semester away from his goal, a university diploma. Mature and intelligent, Bud' preaence intpire confidence in his mates. He taikes football as a game, kids about it, never worries but always plays it up to the hilt. Like Chuck Sweeney, 1937 All-American, and Brown, Kerr failed to make a letter as a sophomore, but played with the second team as a junior. He may follow in their Ail-American footsteps as a senior.

This would nice, he thinks, not tor the personal glory attached, but because it would help him realize his goal to be college coach. Bud was born in Tarrytown, but his home has been Newburgh since he was three years old. He spent the Summer driving a car on the "Road of Tomorrow" at the World's Fair. He is a fatalist. "I'm really living on borrowed time," he says, describing a miraculous escape death.

He was driving alone on country road when bis car suddenly turned over twice. He came out without tha slightest scratch. For a while, he says, he felt exactly like Mr. Topper in the movies. He almost kissed a farmer who came up and spoke to him because that indicated that he was alive and not a wandering spirit.

afternoon. first time around. Kayak was on shown in his previous races, dug into the loam with a rush that Kayak II couldn't equal. He smashed into the lead and held it the remainder of the way for a half-length victory. Cravat trailed by twelve.

It developed long after the classic had been run that Challedon had been suffering from a bruised heel before the race and that his owner was in a quandry whether to scratch him. Nothing untoward occurred during the race to further aggravate the injury. Arcaro was all praise for Challedon. "He's the greatest horse I've ever ridden," the little jockey said.1 "I had such a light hold on him that when Kayak came alongside, I had to get him running. And he certainly started to run when it meant everything." (Pictures on back page) A prohibitive favorite to take the honors in the throe-horse event (Cravat was last all the way), the son of Challenger returned $2.90 for his triumph.

His owner, William L. Brann. received the total purse of $10,000 while Trainer Lou Schaefer was awarded $1,500 and a gold trophy for his part in the embryonic classic conceived by Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt. $184,535 Earnings for Year. By his most recent victory, Challedon increased his earnings for the year to $184,535, which tops all the others.

It was his sixth straight victory and ninth in 14 starts this season. He will now be retired until the big Winter handicaps in California and Florida. Challedon -was off to a quick break on the alow track and swept by the cheering stands length the outside as they hit the first turn, while Cravat already trailed by five lengths. However, going into the back-stretch, the Charles S. Howard horse started to make a bid.

He drew up to Challedon, but the eventual winner wouldn't yield and drew slightly ahead. But Kayak II wouldn't be denied. He answered George Woolf's call, made another bid, and finally pulled into the lead. Around the torn they raced, with Cravat definitely out of the running. Match Strides Furlong Out.

As the two made for the stretch, Arcaro moved forward and they raced nose-and-nose. For ten seconds, Challedon and Kayak II matched stride for stride a furlong away from the wire. Then Challedon, with all the courage he's nouncement that Brooklyn mainstays have gained a monopoly on individual league honors.
