at the Sydney Stadium on Satur-
day. The Newcastle contingent
came down in strong force and
the huge inclosure was packed
tightly with an immense crowd,
excited, expectant and buzzing.
The fight opened with spasn Of
pain for supporters Of Collins,
The champion seemed inert and
devoid of pugnacity, and at once
met with smashing left swing
to the jaw. 1t looked as though
there was something in the Indian
sign. But after three rounds
Collins concentrated on the fight,
and after that Eagel was out
boxed, outfought and eclipsed."
Solar Plexus has this to say
regarding the finish of the fight:
early in the eighth round Col
Inns paid much attention to his
mans body, pumping both hands
there, and with a well-timed right
he again shook up Eagel. The
latter was made to miss with
right and left and a short left
hook got him on the chin.
Eagle swung a feeble kind OF
left, and staggered back from
near Collins corner to within q
yard or SO of the rope on the
northern side. Referee Wallis
was in the act of counting the
American out when Collins rushed
forward to assist his opponent to
rise, but the referee held him
back and hardening to what
Eagle had to say, declared Col
Inns the winner.
"The American complained OF
having injured his ankle, and was
assisted to his corner. The sub
sequent medical examination re
vealed no injury.

Those New Songs
Harry Collins, a Conner

A T THE Sydney Stadium re-
a Gently Harry Collins, who
"A holds the welterweight title
in Australia, beat George Eagle, OF
America, in eight rounds. Eagel
had previously knocked Collins out
on two different occasions and
was quite sure that he'd repeat the
trick this time.
One of the biggest crowds that
has seen a fight there in years
was attracted to the stadium, re-
minding the writer's of the days
when Les Darcy performed.
This Collins has forged ahead
rapidly of late and is looked upon
as the best man Australia has
developed since Darcy. Some
years ago Mel Coogan fought a
draw with Collins, and, according
to some, had an edge on the
kangaroo gent, but the latter is
much better man today and one
who is expected to go far.
Solar Plexus, writing in the
Sydney Referee, says of the fight;
"The third meeting of Harry Collins
with George Eagel created one

scoring seven points in the last
three minutes of the game. and
winning by one pont. 1t also played
a very good game against New
York University, the best game 1t
has played this season, in fact.
Barring something unforeseen,
this team win start against the
Army: Forwards, Parish (captainl
and Craig; center, Hamilton;
guards, Jones and Graf. Shapley
has q chance OF displacing Jones.
whose offensive work Is poor
this season, but Jones still seems
to be the choice at present.
The team as a whole is not
scoring well, and has not been
doing so for number Of games.
Craig. in particular, who at his
best is far ahead of any other
Navy player as goal shooter, has
been locating the basket with great
difficulty lately, and neither Par
ish or Hamilton Is scoring with
any regularity.
The team has from the begin
ming of the season shown great
speed and alertness and keen
eye for the ball, but 1t has not
yet acquired a system of working
to the basket, so that its depend
ence has been in long shots or oc-
casional quick shots when nearer
to- the goal. This style of play has
proved unreliable. and has been
the occasion of the Navy bowling
to several teams this season which
it's was confidently expected to con-
quer.
A particularly regrettable thing
has been that in most of the de-
feats the other team has overcome
an early Navy lead. This is much
opposed to the traditions of sport
at the Naval Academy, the teams
of which in all branches have
staged many fine uphill fights.
or particular interest in connee-
ton with the game this year Is
the fact that Blood, who made such
a wonderful record as the coach
of the famous Passaic High School
five, is now the mentor at West
Point. and will have the oppor-
tunity of demonstrating what ne
can do in college ranks.
