THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1929. Eugene Huat Uncovers Real Wallop in Beating Izzy Schwartz i Frenchman Troubled In Early Rounds but Finishes With Rush FRENCH BOY'S PUNCH THAT WHIPPED SCHWARTZ BY ED HUGHES Penn -Penn State Looms One of Best Of Saturday Game 24 By RALPH Penn Penn State! That of the football fans. It rings TROST. has a fine sound to the eai even sweeter than did tr By ED HUGHES. The first flyweight in 10 years with a real wallop and a Qrst-class intention to use it was exhibited at the Garden last night.

His name was Eugene Huat of France, European titleholder in the class. Move than likely Penn-Navy struggle of last Saturday, which drew the greate he can change this to the more significant honor of world's champion before he leaves these shores for home. Huat is quite a crowd to Franklin Field In the history of football at Pern Early this season neither Penn nor its logical rival, Peri State, was considered a really formidable team. Penn downed by the California Bears. Penn State was vanquishe by N.

Y. U. But in the succeeding weeks both teams can along fast and now stand right up near the top. certainly a smashing, danger gave our Corporal Izzy little gamester, a fearful seven out of 10 rounds, earn verdict. rangy, long-faced, blond a long beak, closely set fighter and ble making the Ed Hughes tQ make 112 ous hitter.

The missioners and a perpetually startled French boy had some trou weight yesterday, the com ordering him to boil off a Dound of shoulders for a flyweight and may have some trouble keeping in the class. Just before the end of the Black Bill-Da vies bout Joe Humphries buttonholed Gus Wilson Hi JaTTC CeMIMA, OVER HMfc Rf-Hl oMOCKEC AMEa occaswms ALao5T OROPPen ScHRX, I 1 PENNMA Penn's real strength was with Wally Masters, Mort Dick Gentle and Joe Opekun, the Red and Blue has a fast, versatile backfield that swings either right or left and makes steady gains. In Masters it has a safety man par excellence, a fine ball carrier and just about as neat a punter as this writer has seen this year. Masters can kick whether he has plenty of time or is rushed, and his unerring placement is really uncanny.

MASTERS AVERAGES OVER 50 YARDS. A good punter I What Army wouldn't have given for a Masters Instead of Murrell. How Dartmouth needed a Masters last Saturday against the Eli, and how dearly Navy paid for not having a stronger kicker than Bowstrom. For pure perfection of kicking Masters did a noble job. He averaged over 60 yards on every kick.

Penn might have wished that Wally would lengthen out his kicks five yards or so. But even if they did wish it, at times Penn was perfectly satisfied. Masters is a real kicker and five yards more on two of his kicks would not have been so good, for, as it happened, that much more distance would have been sufficient to propel the ball over the goal line, which was something Penn didn't want. As it was, two of Masters' kicks were downed by Penn linemen between the six-yard line and the goal. Penn State hasn't any kicker to compare with Masters.

But State has its good points. FRENCH A SLIPPERY FAST SUNNING BACK. One of them is little French. brother of the famed Walter who starred for Rutgers and then Army, and later still as a baseball plaver on the world champion Philadel phia Athletics. French, a halfback, is not as fast as Walter.

But he's an illusive person, a great wiggler; in short one of those who must be securely downed before one can be certain that French has ceased advancing the ball. Lasisch and Evand are able as sistants. Another tremendous State asset is the wingmen, Kaplan and Edwards. A smart nair of footballnrs these two, as was illustrated against N. Y.

U. and then Syracuse. RIBLETT AND GERVIN FINE WINGMEN. Penn is also strong on the wines. Riblett and Gervin are a swell pair of ends.

It, was their dash that helped materially in spilling Navy's running attack and assisted Johnny utz ana uiexy nau Art Spring for losses before that shifty person could get going. Spring, a hard man to stop once past the line of scrimmage, had a rough day. Last Two Princeton Games Show Mockery Of New Grid Rules By HAROLD C. BURR. The football fathers are going to be hard to convince the new rules are a mistake.

More than 140,000 people for two Penn games, the Yale Bowl flowing over, vast throngs every Saturday milling around outside of stadia gates from Cambridge to Los Angeles all make It look as If the crowds don't care what kind of football it is so long as It's Just football. This isn't the criticism of an expert. The gods of the game may be technically right in differentiating between fumbles, moving back the goal posts and making what was in lite corner selected for Huat. "How d'ya pronounce that kid's name?" queried Joe of the trainer of Carpentier and Dempsey. Wilson whispered something in Joe's ear.

"How's that o-o-ah?" A ringsider, overhearing, chimed in with "It's hooey, Joe." The ever-ready Humphries retorted: "Maybe, but we'll see." Humphries has bawled the names of so many imported flops in his day that you can pardon his doubting any fighter. HUAT LOOKED BAD IN orENING BOUNDS. And for a few rounds Huat looked anything but wonderful at that. The French boy opened the battle rushing Izzy about and trying desperately for a right-hand connection. Several of them landed athwart the Hebrew boy's head, short punches delivered in close.

Then Schwartz opened up. He stepped away from Eugene's rush and swing, countering the invader on the back of the neck with a solid right. The wallop threw Huat off balance and seemed to inspire Izzy. Schwartz began to box, stick an annoying straight left into the face and Huat began to miss. And he made an industrious job of it.

I counted FOURTEEN. SCHWARTZ'S LEFT JAB PRODS FRENCHMAN. Huat looked very bad in the second and third rounds. He seemed nervous, missed many more swings by wide margins and was jabbed to death by Schwartz's left. Huat was so rattled that he swung Into an sorts of positions as a refuge for Izzy's proding left looked more like a novice than anything else.

Schwartz succeeded in sticking in a half dozen more lefts in the fourth before Huat found himself. A long, lightning overhand right at last found a parking spot on Izzy's chain and the Hebrew kid was flung into a neutral corner from the Impact. That punch was well charged with dvnv.nite and Schwartz was never in the fight after that. Huat wrke up as if by magic and pro-(rclffi to pin the dizzy Izzy In the i ovnnr and hammer him without stint. Schwartz was beaten half through tli and second rope before he MK irecird in sliding out of danper.

Bvt Huat. fighting in a half crouch, j'li heart and shoulders thrust ag-tirs. ivciy forward, followed fast. Ill' AT A rtXISIIING HI 1 Ti ll WITH RIGHT. lie Dean looping spiteful over- li.ii'ri riyhts that crashed downward to Schwartz's kidneys with evident power.

It was a tough round for Schwartz, who began a perceptible wiltin under these body smashes. Izzy took another hard pounding in the fifth. Huat, eyes ablaze with the search for his customary knockout opening, went to work promptly. He forced Schwartz to exchange continually and his right was never Idle. Eugene began pumping short, cruel diss under the heart In the close-order fighting and Izzy was buy getting away from these stabs.

The little corporal was well thrashed when the six started, but he was game. Huat is a poor marksman for all his heavy hitting. He frequently misses three and four rights before landing but when the connection is made it counts. By this time Schwartz was taking rhances even in jabbing. He confined himself mostly to the ticklish Job of eluding the "French Jimmy Wilde's" dangerous right.

However, Izzy rsn full tilt Into It before a minute of fighting, the wallop sending him careening Into the old neutral corner. Schwartz was bent half over and appeared to be hurt. But here Slugging Art -TITLE GO Jimmy's Added Weight to Much for Light Champion to Overcome Chicago, Nov. 9 W) Jimmy Mc- Larnin may not become the next word welterweight champion, but he has accomplished something that the present holder of the title, Jackie Fields, found too difficult a task. McLarnin enhanced his standing as the "foremost contender for the welterweight crown last night at the Chicago Stadium, where he gave Sammy Mandel, ruler of the world's lightweights, a thorough beating, winning a decision at the end of 10 rounds of great fighting.

Fields attempted to conquer the Rockford sheik about a year ago, and received a fine boxing lesson from Mandell. First Defeat. Mandell gave McLarnin a lacing a year ago last summer when the "Baby Face" from Vancouver, B. attempted to lift the ightwelght title. but lastn lght found that at 143 pounds McLarnin was too tough for even Mandell's marvelous boxing ability.

It was the first decision Mandell has ever lost, and was his first real defeat since he was knocked, out by Joey Sangor, in 1923 when he was Just getting started as a major performer. Mandell gave away six pounds to the slugger from Vancouver, B. and the handicap was too great. McLarnin was credited with six rounds, while Mandell, who entered the ring the favorite, was given but two. "Baby Face" concentrated his attack on Mandell body, administering terrific hammering to Sammy's mid section.

As the fight went on McLarnin began tossing left hooks at Mandell's head, many of which found their mark. The outcome was a surprise to most of the 22,812 spectators who paid $102,368 to see McLarnin com' pletely reverse the decision gained by Mandell in their lightweight championship a year ago last sum mer.

Bouts Last Night p0Un(is He has a wide sweep Huat's poor marksmanship, even with Izzy on the ropes, once more saved Izzy.

Eugene fastened him on the hemp again and belabored him with a variety of swishing blows. Izzy emerged with a slight cut under the right eye and was badly battered during the rest of the round. Huat was all over Schwartz during the remaining four rounds, Jarring Izzy to the roots with overhand rights to head and kidneys, He Jammed the weary corporal on tne ropes on frequent occasions and Izzy took to weaving under the hemp in the hope that Eugene would let up. Huat was considerate enough without being easy on Izzy. He let the gasping Ghetto kid wriggle back but never retreated more than a pace from his rival.

In each of these rounds he had Schwartz in trouble and Huat was doing nrac. tically all of the fighting. Izzy was r.ear the floor several times from Huat's merciless rights to the head and kidneys. SCHWARTZ ANNOUNCES HIS RETIREMENT FROM RING. There was no doubt concerning who had won.

When Humphries pointed to the French boy, Schwartz graoDea tne announcer and whis pered something in Joe's ear. Then Humphries announced to the crowd that Schwartj wished it known he had fought his last fight and had decided to retire. The little gamester was given a fine reception in token of his courageous displays in seven years of fighting. As for Huat, his punch and whirl wind nghting technique may yet create a boom in the realm of the midgets. He's no Jimmy but he CAN PUNCH, and that is what this feather-dustinj-slapping class needs.

OTHER FLYWEIGHT CONTENDERS LACKED CLASS. The other bouts, all flyweight contenders, were only mildly interesting. Blnck Hill crosse dthe betters and gained a rather easy award over Willie Davies, a Welsh kid from the Pennsylvania mining beli. Bill was too clever and had the battle well in hand practically all the way. Midget Wolgast, a Philly bouncing ball, was too agile for the aged Johnny McCoy with his half-bald head and deliberate ways.

Wolgajt took the verdict at the end of 10, but didn't impress very favorably. The crowd razzed the decision, but it was lair enough. Rube Bradley, a Holyoke colored boy, outpoked Ernie Peters, a Chippewa Indian, in a bout that bristled with action but that produced little in the way of results. The fancy didn't get much steamed up aBout last night's flyweight eliminations. But 6.835 were on hand for a net gate of Jackie Fields Scores Kayo Over Mahan Kansas City.

Nov. 5 (A1) Jackie Fields, king of the welterweights, has shattered, for a time at least, any further designs Dummy Mahan, San Francisco, may have on his crown. The champion, in a non-titular battle here last night, sent the challenger to the canvas In the second round of a scheduled 10-rounder before 12.000 fans. The mute boxer carried the fight to his opponent most of the initial round, landing many blows on the head and body of the champion. In the following round Fields pum-mcled Mahan's body with a steady attack of right and lrfts, and sent the Callfomlan down for the count with a short left uppercut.

Jack Dempsey. former world heavyweight champion, was the third man In the ring. Shires A facial ti Prut VKut Art Shires. v- on sevens instance the alert athlete had a clear field. "Run!" screeched the old fellow, remembering the deeds of Sam White.

But the hoy wasn't allowed to run. He wasn't allowed to capitalize on his quickness. Section 'ump-ty-ump, rule so-and-so distinctly says he must put the ball back on the ground and return to his position. COAL TOSTS NOT WHERE THEY BELONG. Yet when Hughes, Navy center, intercepted a Princeton forward pass, he was allowed to gallop for a touchdown.

It was all very fool ish. confusing and unsatisfactory. In that same game Bauer of Navy would have kicked a deciding goal from the field if the posts had been where they belonged, but the ball never had a chance to travel that extra 10 yards. But the most curious play of all the half-flnlshed new plays is the automatic safety. One of the things came weirdly to pass in the Chi cago Princeton game Saturday.

Benge of Chicago blocked a punt by Scarlett of Princeton. The ball bounced toward the Princeton goal, beyond it. Two Ma. roon wearers chased it, dove at it, lost It, picked it up, dropped it. kicked It around.

Princeton players came pounding up. It was all very ex citing and the old fellow stood UP in tne press dox lor the first and probablv the last time in his news paper life. THE TOl'CIIDOWN THAT JUST WASNT. When a Chicago man finally corralled the pesky thing everybody but players and officials thought the Midway eleven had scored a touchdown. But It seemed not.

It was an automatic safety from the Instant the ball crossed Into the end rone. All that scrambling had been wasted. Benge took the hard oval leather resoundingly on his chest. It sounded like the beating of a bass drum In the college band. He might have blocked the punt with his face.

All he got out of it was two points. Not worth the risk. These are Just rambling impressions that have made an old fellow a little wild. They are multiplied by the dozens every Saturday, so that the three million go home in the smoky autumn dusk, dazed and uncertain, and buy an evening paper to find out the final score. It has been a season of upsets.

Only one thing Is sure. It would be a good game if It wasn't for the rules, W.

Dr. James H. Penniman, oldest and most scholarly of the Phillie fans and brother of the Provost of the University of Pennsylvania, comes to his seat at the Hot Stove League with some novel suggestions regarding changes in the pame. Dr. Penniman wants four outs to the inning and games shortened to seven innings.

"It would make 28 outs to the game Just one more than at present and there wouldn't be so much time wasted changing sides," says the good doctor. "I'm for more baseball on Saturdays. Saturday is, a half holiday for practically all workers, and one game doesn't fill their afternoon," continued Dr. Penniman. "Ball clubs should book doubleheaders whenever possible and when that is impossible play one game of 12 innings.

It could even be worked out that a 12-lnning game would count for more than the other kind." One of his other revolutionary Ideas is not to pitch four balls to batter when he's to be passed intentionally. It's all a waste of time, and the batsman should be waved to first as soon as the pitcher's intentions become known. Dr. Penniman also thinks the batter shouldn't be asked to run around the bases when he hits a home run. He seems to forget the batter likes to Jump Joyously on every base and the crowd likes to watch his triumphal progress.

Dr. Penniman wants while caps for all the players, because white caps shed the heat while the conventional blue ones absorb It. And he would change the style of what the well-dressed umpire is wearing. This Idea is a good one. He suggests that the limps be allowed to go on the field without their coats.

There's no reason why our arbitrators should not wear blouses like the players. The samie' is often made hot enough for them otherwise. ANOTHER CHANCE AT CINCINNATI. Dan Howley, new manager at Cincinnati, has been looking over Redland Field. Howley has spent his baseball life in the minors and the American League.

Its doubtful if he has ever laid mortal eyes before on the park. Anyway, the sight of its green and brown vistas charmed him. He pronounced It the best play Ing field in the country.

The match was under th Australian wrestling system of eight ten-minute round. formerly a touchdown nothing but' a safety. It's Just the plaint of a meddling old fellow who thought football was a pretty good game, as It was a couple of years ago. It's by a dull, dense sort of an old fellow, set in his old-fashioned ways, who isn't quite so sure half the time what this newest football Is about. He was brought up on the notion that you should pay through the nosesuard for mistakes.

It's by on old fellow who knew and loved the pigskin game before the coming of the forward pass. He was broadminded enough to see that the opening up of the game was a good thing. "It's Just basketball!" shrieked the stand-patters of his day. "All right," he said, loyal to the powers. "Basketball's a pretty good game, isn't it?" MISSED THRILL OF FOIBLES.

The game grew. Still he got a lot of fun out of watching it each fall as a spectator. He saw that it was a better, more scientific game than the old bone-crushing affairs. Then It came to pars that he went to football games on business. He still enjoyed them until the safety man started letting the punts roll around the ground.

He missed the old thrill of watching a back line "Hobey" Baker take a falling leather at a dead run and go tearing back through a broken field. A possible fumble was too costly to risk, often resulting in a touchdown for the kicking side. So the coaches wouldn't let the old game alone, but went fussing with the rules once too often. They made safeties out of touchdowns and spoke of muffs and fumbles in an entirely different tone of voice. They also made It next to Impossible to kick a nem goal.

The old fellow became a little bewildered in a maze of restric tions. The football guide became a veritable book of the opera. The score might have been in Italian. NO LIKE NEW RULES. He has seen the rules work and doesnt care If 3,000,000 people carelessly accept them every Saturday.
