JOE STECHER BEATS
 STRANGER LEWIS
Farmer Boy Pins kentuckian's Shoulders to Mat After Fast Bout

Now York, Nov. 4.---Joc Stecher of
 Nebraska, the body scissors expert.
 Il ium phed over Strangler Ed. Lewis and his head lock in a furously con-
 tested catch as catch can bout that lasted hour 31 minutes and 3 sec-
 onds last night at Madison Square
 Garden.
 Stechcr defeated the Kentuckian
 with his favorite hold, the body scis- sors and double wrist lock, which
 Lewis had twice previously escaped from after desperate struggles. But the third time that Stccher ap- piled the lock Lewis was in such weakened condition that he was un- able to break out of it, and after struggling for three minutes both of
 the Strangler's shoulders were pressed
 to the canvas and Referred George 1 Bothner patted the pcrspring victor
 on the back.
 Up to the time the decisive fall was registered Lewis had had the better i Of the contest on points. He had 1 been behind his opponent oftenest ! and had shown more aggressiveness | than Stecher.
 Just DSlOEG tie lttll IL lOOkCt tifo IL i the headlock would win over the l scissors Three times in quick suc
 cession Lewis took flying headlocks
 and brought his man to the floor. 1 Stecher showed the effect of the pun
 lshing hold, and seemed weak when 1 Lewis slammed him to the canvas aft
 CT the third tumble.
 Stcchcr Has Narrow Escape. But Stechcr got his head loose i from the crushing impact of Lewis ! left arm and in tWinkling had
 wound his flexible legs about Lewis
 midsecton. Then after some maneu-
 vcring he seized Lewis by both wrists
 and gradually forced his shoulders to i the mat.
 | By this clean cut victory Stecher 1 earns the right to a match with l Champion Earl Caddock, who sent ] telegram to tho Garden announcing 1 his willingness to meet the victor in 1 6 title bout,
 The contest between Lewis and 1 Stcchcr was witnessed by a. crowd that
 packed the Garden, and the bout was
 90 full of action and so exciting that
 the Merry Widow" waltz was not
 whistled during tho time the ath- i letes were in the ring. Stccher was in better condition
 than Lewis and was trained to the ] minute. Lewis carried too much flesh and this affected him as the contest heightened.
 In addition to his effective scissors hold Stcchcr has developed a danger Ous armlOck.

New Haven, Nov. 4.-Yale's varsity botball players were yesterday given heir first Monday scrimmage of the |eason following d Saturday game. i he decision of the coaches to order E was a surprise and is interpreted Is representing dissatisfaction with he Eli attack.
