PAL MORAN IS FAVORED
TO WIN FROM SHUGRUE

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Recent vic.
tories over Charley White and
Johnny Mendelshon have boosted
Pal Moran's stock to the extent
that the New Orleans flash will go
into the ring a choice over Johnny
Shugrue tomorrow night when the
boys will get together in the final
contest. Moran had a bad streak
early this fall as the result of pneu.
monia, but he is back in form
again, and II he beats Shugrue,
the Italian will likely be matched
for q return go with Charley White.
It will be no soft spot for Moran,
for Shugrue proved himself to be
a good two-fisted boxer and no
mean ring general when he shaded
the sensational Luis Vicentini two
weeks ago when the latter went
into the ring a big favorite over
the Waterbury boy.
Sid Terris, who drew with Sammy
Mandell in a corking go in the
Garden, will be trotted out again,
this time against Philadelphia s
best Junior lightweight, Eddie (Kid)
Wagner.

AMATEUR
BOXERS FOR
OLYN|P!|CS
Youngsters So Anxious to
Turn Pro, Field Is Well
Trimmed Out.

The lure Of professional boxing
.is so strong that the youth nowa-
days who has 9 natural bent for
fisticuffs does not want to walt for
q reasonable period OF seasoning In
the amateur ranks. He longs to
become a professional from the
moment he puts on boxing gloves.
The ranks OF the amateurs are
pretty well thinned out Of promis-
ing material, and those who are
looking ahead to the Olympic Games
fear that the United States team
will not be up to the usual high
standard. The bouts in New York
at Madison Square Garden under
the "A. A. U. bring out num-
Der OF new boxers, but many
Of them are crude in comparison
with the clever lads who have
Jumped to the pro ranks.
The former A. A. u. performers
are just now prominent in the vari-
Gus classes Of the professional sport.
frankie Genaro, the American title
holder. who won the amateur world
title ct Antwerp, is the most prom
inent Of the former amateurs. Abe
Goldstein IL also prominent among
the bantams; also Pete Zivio and
Joe Burman.
Among the featherweights are
Sid Ferris, Mike Dundee, and Lew
Palusa. In the lightweight, classes
the amateurs have furnished Jack
Zivic and Sammy Vogel. The anna
teur ranks at present present no
performers who are al promising
as these boxers were as amateurs.
The present crop Of amateur
boxers have been stricken with the
knockout fever. They ell want to
be sluggers. The amateuV shows
are alive with kpockouts. ana there
is q strong tendency on the part 0f
the boys to neglect the cleverness
Of defense and rely on one punch
to win their bouts.
More attention win have to be
given to the finer points Of boxing
If the United States expects to up
hold its boxing prestige at the
Olympic Games. More boxing and
less slugging IL needed. Only the
present indoor season remains 70
develop good Olympic material. The
time is short, but careful attention
to defense should bring about a
change.

Exeter's Likely Loss
May Be Big Gain
For Yale

Much Of the credit for the fine
condition of the Yale football
players last fall was given to
George Connors, who was the
track coach and trainer at
Exeter for twenty years. He
got a years leave Of absence to
60 to Yale and now finds him
self in a quandary. Yale wants
him to stay in New Haven and
has made him a flattering offer.
Exeter wants him to 60 back to
the New Hampshire school.
After his great success with
the Ellis last fall it is fairly
certain that the new trainer will
take up his residence in New
Haven indefinitely.
