secondary to score Crowd In Frenzy Sixteen thousand spectators went wild and a frenzied crowd poured onto the field after the Nugget calmly kicked the winning point from placement After the field was

professional boxing is going after spectator interest in earnest with the first indoor show of the season Nov 1 at the Ellis Auditorium Promoter Milo Solomito and the American Legion plan an all-star card with 52 rounds of glove swing ing listed on a single bill provided the explosive fists do not connect too soon during the action Beech Wilkerson Show Headlining the shatw will be two 10-round affairs with Neville Beech and Steve Wilkersoi in the top spots and the remainder of the card will have Orlaph Goss who campaigns as Grady Flynn and Ralph Williams spotted somewhere along the way Only the opponents for Wilkerson and Beech have been selected but the machinery is in full swing and the other mittmen should be on the line before the middle of the week Beech the sensational rookie to the Southern heavyweight ranks will match blows with George Valias the Birmingham Greek in 10 rounds for the Mississippi Tigers third professional start Valias has been fighting in Geor gia lately and has been coming along fast since losing to Walter Doxey early in the year He is a stocky fellow and packs one of the hardest left hooks among the big fellows in this section However Beech has something of a hook himself and it is possible the scrap will be a case of which has the most steam in the southpaw side-arm delivery Steve Faces McDowell Wilkerson will get another shot at Wild Bill McDowell the stocky Texan who dealt the Mississippi middleweight his first professional loss last week McDowell holds the middleweight and welterweight titles of Mexico and ranks twelfth iln his division The second meeting should be even better than the first for Wilkerson should have learned a lot Especially how to keep away from a left hand and also that his right is something more than an ornament McDowell showed he like a right but his left was even more potent than even if it wasn't delivered with the same finesse Opponents for Goss and Williams have not been selected Goss was an amateur star here two years ago and has been going good as a pro Williams has won three straight since deserting the amateur ranks Scotty Dean who was scheduled to meet Marcus Fritz last week but was idle when Fritz failed to appear will be on the card against a good middleweight Dean is also from Texas Two other bouts will be added to bring the card up to seven and the 52 rounds Solomito will present the show on a popular price basis in order to get the Winter season off to a good start I Defeats Centre BLACKSBURG Va Oct (AP) Virginia Tech ripped through Centre line for two touchdowns gained another through the air and intercepted a Centre aerial effort in the final period today for a surprisingly easy 28 to 0 victory before a Homecoming Day crowd of 4000 Centre make a first down until the fourth quarter Kenny Morgan Shines BIRMINGHAM Oct (INS) The Howard College Bulldogs today romped on the Chattanooga Moccasins in a Dixie Conference game 33 to 14 before 3000 fans The game was featured by two 52-yard runs by Kenny Morgan for touchdowns Mixes It In thing of a novelty and Rentrop has worked out a novel way of selecting the opponents for the regular matches when the muscle-benders turn their attention to individual battles The six men Alf Johnson Herbie Freeman Chief Chewacki Angelo Cistoldi Tiny Morgan and Pierre Lafon are divided into two teams with only Heine Olsen to officiate Johnson FYeeman and Chewacki will form one team and Cistoldi Morgan and Lafon the other They will go at it hammer and tong or any other convenient weapon until two men are eliminated and then four and when it narrows down to two men the team affair will be called off and the regular show begins Narrow To Pair The first two men eliminated will pair up for the 30-minute one fall match the second two will meet in the one hour best two out of three falls semiwindup and the remaining pair will work in the 90 minute two out of thiee fall feature There is no telling how the ac ticn will go but it looks like the grapplers have something there However it is unlikely that the team match will last very long so the fans are warned to be in their seats early for the fireworks begin promptly at 8:30 o'clock Rentrop plans to hold weekly shows this Winter and is working on matches thst will show the big names of the business from week to week CALIFORNIA TOPPLES IIMINOION STATE 11 Cougars Fall 13 To 7 In Wild Struggle BERKELEY Calif 21 California's thrice defeated Bears dipped into the victory bag today to win a wild and woolly football battle from the Washington State College Cougars 13 to 7 It was a Pacific Coast Conference game bdt at times it resembled a sandlot scramble between a couple of pickup teams Five fumbles were counted in the first two minutes of play and for the balance of the game thrills miscues and hard knocks combined to keep some 20000 fans on edge California scored touchdowns in the opening and second periods the first on a pass interception and 55-yard-run by right halfback Gerald Lutes An 80-yard drive on 10 ground plays plus 10 yards in penalties accounted for the other touchdown early in the second quarter Fullback Jack McQuary slipped through center for one yard to score and Right Tackle Lee Artoe converted with a place kick Washington State scored Its touchdown in the third period and of all things it was a brawny center who lumbered 25 yards goal-ward to save the Northern team from a whitewashing Ken Devine a six-foot three-inch 190-pounder was the hero of the freak scoring play Team Affair 117 117 117

the mile and three-sixteenths special The Go Ahead Sign Owners of four hlue-bloodcd thoroughbreds Challedon Kayak II Isolater and Cravat have given Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt the nod and proudly promised to have their color bearers on hand fit and ready to run Unless all signs fail and they shouldn't this time it's the race of the year with perhaps a world record at stake And the colt that set the mark Challedon it is will be there to protect it It's been only a few weeks since he breezed home four lengths to the good at Keeneland in Kentucky to clip two-fifths of a second from Discovery's time of 1:55 This is the second special for which an elaborate stage has been set Last Autumn that tough old campaigner Seabiscuit and Man O' War's grandson War Admiral clashed in what really was a match race That made the 'Biscuit the hurse of the year for the Admiral just wasn't good enough Some Facte The place and the time and the purse: Pimlico race course Wednesday afternoon Nov 1 purse $10000 winner take alL The principals: CHALLEDON Three-year-old Maryland bred colt owned by Brann of Frederick and trained by a youthful former jockey Lou Schaefer who has done a tremendous job well that of keeping his highly strung charge at racing pitch month after month He started him out in April and here it is late October with Challedon still having the bloom of a fit thoroughbred The colt's winnings this year total $168310 and puts him at the top of the heap Started 13 times in 1939 won seven been second twice and third three times Only once has been out of the money Because he is a three-year-old and the special is at weight for age Challedon will get six pounds from the others a' of whom are older George Woolf one of the best money riders in the business has been up on him recently but he wont be available in the Special He will be there trying to make Kayak II beat him for he is under contract to Howard Harry Richards who had been riding him now is bedded down in a hospital and may not be up and about by then but you can be sure a good boy will be there to do the booting KAYAK II Charles Howard only another automobile dealer from the West Coast until he got his hands on Seabiscuit brought Kayak up from South America just in time to cop the Santa Anita Handicap with him when the ailing 'Biscuit fell by the wayside with a bad leg Eight times he has started this year and six times he has won Already he has met Challedon once and that time he was beaten by three lengths with the Maryland colt going away at the end There have been all sorts of excuses for him such as a bad start and a bruised quarter but when they finished running Challedon was on the front end Tom Smith more than once described as the horse in Howard's stable" is his trainer and the silent old plainsman knows his way about ISOLATER William Woodward the aloof gray banker of fiction come to life owns him A long line of champions has carried the red dots of his Belair Stud Omaha and Gallant Fox among them Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons is his trainer and Mr Fits has been around the horse parks longer than most men can remember Isolater now six and the oldest horse in the race comes from English stock being by Blandford-Pris-cflla Carter He has tangled three times with Cravat already and has come out on top only once That was at Saratoga but there w-as a feeling around the Summer Spa that Ct-avat wasn't ready for so stern a test The Belair eolorhearer isn't as consistent as the others for he has won but two of eleven starts this year His early foot may stand him in good stead however because the others usuallv don't get off as fast Jimmy Stout will be up CRAVAT It takes a deal of ground to get this persevering son of Sicklcfri-lette she by Man O' War up to full steam but onre he moves he can run all day and nothing discourages him Townsend Martin not long out of college owns him Martin picked him up at the CL Whitney dispersal sale a few years ago at Pimlico and a bargain he has proved for the $10600 investment has increased ten-fold Walter Burrows another old timer at the business of handling horses is his trainer He labors under a handicap because of the comparatively for Cravat at distance He needs but two miles In his last two starts Basil James a stout finisher himself has handled Cravat but before that Jack Westrope was up most of the time One of these two lads probably will draw the assignment So the field is in come rain or shire and if history reports itself Baltimore will swarm with some 40000 sportsmen intent upon the

game for a hard-won 20-0 victory over the New Orleans eleven Some 10000 fans watched the game which started off listlessly but ended in a thrilling scoring play Lanky Ken Kavanaugh magic-fingered terminal scored two touchdowns for the Bayou Tigers In the first period he inter cepted a pass from Fred Dykes scrapping Loyola halfback and dashed 35 yards to the goal Just after play resumed for the second half Ken took one from his favorite pitcher little Leo Bird on an aerial scoring thrust extending 59 yards Only a few minutes before the final whistle struck again through the air this time with Kavanaugh wrapped up on the bench Gerald Hightower began connecting with passes to Odell Weaver and Spooky Johnson for another score Johnson grabbing a 12-yard toss for the touchdown Loyola
