VIC MORAN OUT
IN SECOND ROUND

New York, Oct 6-Benny Leon
ard, the worlds lightweight cham
pion, toppled over Vic Moran OF New
Orleans in the second round at the
Harmle s. c. last night Leonard
brought the bout to an end with "a
right hand punch that landed flush
on Moran's jaw and sent him flat on
his back. Kid Mcfarland tol1ed off
the ten second, finishing the count
just as the bell rang.
Moran was outclassed by the cham
pion and landed only a few light
blows. Benny played with him in
the first round, ducking most of the
Sotherner's wild swings and shoot
ing his left and right to the jaw.
Moran came out in the second
round full of confidence and deter
mined to land on the elusive Leon
ard. AS Moran started his right,
Leonard stepped in and drove him
against the ropes with left hook.
Moran came tearing back at Leon
ard swinging both hands wildly. This
was just what Benny wanted. He
caught Moran flush on the jaw with
a right hook and the bout was over.
Leonard weighed 1873 1-2. Moran

BRAINS MORE IMPORTANT IN

Coach Sol Metzger of College Fame Tells How In

the first strategy Of the game. Up
to a certain point football had been a
purely physical encounter Jus.
what was the turning point that made
it our great fall sport? The illustra-
,tion not only is interesting in that it
was, so far as I am able to learn, the
first trick in football but it also
shows that when skill was first used
those called upon to carry out the idea
were far from being big men physic-
ally. The play occurred in an An
dover-Exeter4 football game in the
fall Of 1888. Here is the way Alfred
E. stearns, principal of, Phillips An
dover,sa noted athlete In his day, and
an eyewitness, recalls It:
4 1.-THE incident happened during my
middle year. at Andover. Laurie and
Clifford Bliss were our two half backs.
The Exeter game seemed to be go
ing little against us, and though
/ neither team had scored we had been
forced back to about the 20-yard line
and the play was well on toward the
sideEnes. An attempt by Andover to
punt out of danger resulted in fail
ure, the ball dropping, as 7 recall it,
just about the line of scrimmage. An
dover, however, was fortunate enough
to retain possession of the ball.
ION the next play something hap
pened which turned the scales. On
the side-lines we did not discover un-
til after the game was over just what
had occurred. What we saw was
this: The ball was passed to Laurie
Bliss, believe, and he started for
the right end of the line, apparently
for the purpose of making a side-1ine
plunge. The entire Exeter team
piled after him.. The next moment,
! to our amazement and joy, the other
Bliss brother appeared from some
| where around the left end with abso-
/ lutely no one between him and the
/ Exeter goal but the full back, who
was playing well down the field. Bliss
succeeded in lodging this lone tackler
and continued on his way and across
| the goal-1ine without being further
| moIested. This took the heart out
/ Of our opponents, and later we scor-
| ed another touch down to clinch mat
| ters.
/ set am a little hay about details.
Who taught the Blisses the trick ]
4 cannot say; neitherSam I quite sure
1 which one of the brothers made the
score The papers at the time spoke
of the play as wholly new one and
believe it was generally agreed thai
this was the first time the criss-cross
was used in game of any import

RED ALLEN, LOCAL
BOXER, ON CARD IN
ELM CITY MONDAY

New Haven, Oct. 66State Cham
pion Battling Kunz of South Norwalk
and Chic Brown of New Haven ,ex-
state champion are reported DOVE to
weight for their 15-round bout at
the New Haven Arena next Monday
night. These boys have agreed to
weigh in at o'clock in the afternoon,
not more than 13S pounds and this
means the champion will have about
three pounds or possibly a trif1e more
on Brown. The New Haven boy can
make 1876 pounds at ringside with
ease and says after his match with
Kunz he will stick to the 1876 pound
class and all opponents will have to
make that weight to get on with him.
Johnny Martin of New Haven and
Red Allen of Bridgeport are down for
10 rounds at 135 pounds at o'clock
in the afternoon. Both boys are big
lightweights and neither, it is said,
was quite down to weight. Allen is
a trif1e heavier than Martin and may
have some trouble making the exact
weight for Monday afternoon.
