Reporter visited Aurie while he was recovering In the hospital and Larry's first words were: "It wasn't Shore's fault. He got me with a legal check." When Aurie retired In 1938, James Norrls, late owner of the club, gave personal orders that A urie BY MARSHALL DANN Death came Friday to Larry Aurie, who skated into the ranks of hockey's immortals as one of the Red Wings' brightest stars. A member of Detroit's first Stanley Cup team and an 11-year regular until 1938, Aurie died in Mt.

Carmel Hospital at 9:30 a.m. He was 47. Aurie was taken to the hospital unconscious late Thursday after suffering a stroke In his car. He slumped over the steer Larry's No. 8 jersey be retired for good.

No other Detroit player has been so honored. AURIE WAS a member of Detroit's original pro hockey team and played in the first hockey game held at Olympia, Nov. 22, 1927. He was the first player drafted by Adams when Jack became coach of the newly-founded team in 1926. After Detroit won Its first Stanley Cupa In 1936 and 1937, Aurie stayed one more season.

Then he retired to coach at Pittsburgh. In a typical move the following year, after Adams had Jungaleers Put and meet them on their own terms." One oft-told incident illustrates the Aurie spirit. He had been cracked hard by 17: W.3 -rri: LOOKING BACK to 1938. A silver tea service Is presented to Larry Aurie as his career as a Red Wing regular comes to an end after 11 years. 7 --77 -V 7 Through Mil, Perez Hits Canvas hi 2 Minutes Pairing, Not Kayo, To Be Investigated NEW YORK (U.R) Managing Director Harry Markson, of the International Boxing Club, has been ordered to appear before the New York Boxing Commission Monday as an aftermath of Friday night's first-round knockout by unbeaten Johnny Saxton over Cuban Welterweight Raul Perez in Madison Square Garden.

Perez was floored by a left hook to the liver and counted out at 2:17 of the first round. Commission Chairman Robert Christenberry said at the ringside, "Two physicians assured me the knockout was all right and that Perez was hurt so much he could not rise. However, I want to discuss with Markson the IBC's future matchmaking policy." When the left hook landed, Perez jackknlfed forward and fell to his knees. He beht forward with his elbows on the canvas and in that position squirmed around as he tried to rise. He was counted out by Referee Petey Scalzo before he could regain his feet.

SAXTON, weighing 147, had registered his 16th straight knockout in 34 straight victories with the second solid punch he landed on 143-pound Perez. Shortly before the body shot, Saxton had nailed the Cuban with a hard right cross to the chin. Although Perez had been stopped but once before In his career of 38 bouts, the ending Friday night was unsatisfactory for Saxton, who had hoped to make an Impressive showing. His opponent folded up too quickly for him to be impressive in their scheduled television 10-rounder. It was Saxton's first Garden fight in nine months.

In his last two Garden performances, his opponents made such poor showings that Saxton was booed in victory. LIVIO MIN'ELLI, of Italy, was stopped in the seventh round Jan. 25 after running constantly from Saxton until the referee stepped In and Lester Felton was disqualified in the sixth round after pursuing the same tactics. The show attracted only 3,686 fans, who paid $11,264 to see the nationally televised bout. pitch; 'phalanxes: 'juggernauts' varying from 139 to 148 during his Detroit career.

Yet he was known as one of the toughest and most durable men in the sport. Manager Jack Adams always called Aurie "one of the greatest competitors I ever knew." He delights in telling stories of how Larry used to chase the giants of the game. "He could check the best of the big men like Ching Johnson, Nels Stewart and Bill Cook Denby 66 43 2nd in Row Easy for East Siders Eastern Keeps Pace With 81-42 Frolic BY GEORGE PUSCAS Southeastern High, setting a hot pace in pursuit of the East Side title, rolled with ease Friday night to its second straight triumph, to establish itself definitely as the City League's "team to beat." The smooth and classy Jungaleers swept past outgunned Denby, 66 to 43, to remain tied with Eastern, their lower East Side rival.Mor the sectional lead. Two other unbeaten teams from the section will fight it out Satur-dayn night, Northern tackling Miller at 8 p. m.

at Central. EASTERN MATCHED victories with Southeastern as it piled up the fledgling season's greatest individual and team totals by blasting Wilbur Wright, 81 to 42. In other games Southwestern stung Cooley, 61 to 57; Northeastern trimmed Cass, 81 to 42; U. of D. tripped Redfnrd, 58 to 24; Chadsey rocked Northwestern, 57 to 45; Western stopped Mackenzie, 41 to 34, and Pershing dumped Central, 44 to 86.

Denby simply was no challenge to Southeastern. The Jungaleers moved into a slight early lead, then pulled steadily out of reach. John Lango, giant 6-8 center, paced the rout with 15 points, while All-City Veteran Al Mar-cangelo added 14 and Stan Sylvester 12. FOR INDIVIDUAL performance however, the star of the day easily was Eastern's lanky Hal Dukes, the All-City football, basketball veteran. Dukes poured In 33 points tops Turn to Page 15, Column 6 called him to send a couple of players in an emergency, Aurie answered, "I'm coming myself." He did, too.

After leaving Pittsburgh, Aurie came bac to Detroit to work in Probate Court and a war plant. Then he became a part-time scout and coach for the Wings, and later for the New York Rv.gers. THREE SEASONS AGO Aurie coached the Oshawa (Ont.) Generals and played a big part in the development of -Alex Del-vecchio and Lou.Jankowskl, two Detroit's bright youngsters. Only a few hours before his death he had huddled with Adams to discuss ways of getting better hockey out of Jan-kowski. For the last two years he has been an Insurance salesman at the Grand River branch of the Auto Club.

He regularly attended Red Wing home games as a lan. Aurie lived at 14921 Sorrento. He is survived by his wife Ivv. his father and brother, both of Sudbury, and a sister at PemUrrke, Ont. A BRIEF SERVICE will be at 10:15 a.

LONDON JP) A couple of Air Force teams will play London's first game of American football Saturday in Wembley Stadium, but you would never guess the object from listening to the English or reading London sports pages. As far as the English are concerned, the game will show which is the roughest American football or its first cousin, English rugby. That rugby is the toughest and the best seems to be a foregone conclusion with Londoners.

Coach Buddy Parker's crew will engage the Dallas Texans in Briggs Stadium, seeking the Lions' first share at least of a National Football League title since 1935. Kickoff time is 1:30 p.

m. A victory over the Texans will assure Detroit of at least a tie for the National Conference title with Los Angeles, the defending division and league champion, which winds up the regular season Sunday. The Rams tangle with the powerful Pittsburgh Steelers in LA. A VICTORY Saturday for the Lions, coupled with a Ram defeat Sunday, would give Detroit the championship outright. Going into the final games, each team has a record of eight victories and three losses.

This will also be homecoming for the Lions' Alumni, including 11 players and seven front office men of the 1935 championship team. All told, about 75 former Lions and their wives will attend the contest. Aside from the Alumni, there will be few others in the Stadium, according to Maurie Schu-bot, Lions' ticket manager. A crowd of about 15,000 Is expected to be on hand for the important to the Lions contest. Actually the Lions are favored to win by three touchdowns.

But few figure the Detroiters will be "up" enough for the game to win by that margin. It is feared that the club is looking forward to a playoff with the Rams and could readily be the victim of an upset. IT IS HARD to get a team aroused when it has scored two previous victories over an opponent. The Texans led Detroit by two touchdowns In the fourth quarter in an exhibition game and lost. In the first regular meeting Detroit won handily, 43 to 13.

Coach Jimmy Phelan insists his team can beat any club in the league, given a few breaks. He has one of the better quarterbacks in the league in Frank Tripucka. THE FORMER Lion passer has a 51.1 percentage on pass completions so far. The Texans have good runners In Buddy Young, Zollie Toth, George Taliaferro and Dick Hoerner.
