Canuck lHeauies
in Bout Friday


NEW YORK, Oct. IL. - The
French Canadian heavyweight box
ing situation is due for considerable
Qualification Friday when Jack De-
laney, who not so long ago was
touted as the man to beat Gene
Tunney, meets Jack Renault, who a
few years ago was rated a logical
opponent for Jack Dempsey.
Both Renault ard Delaney have
hit the down trail since those days
and now both are bent on coming
back.
Delaney was beaten by Jimmy
Maloney and was losing to Paolino
when saved by a foul. Renault grew
fat and was an easy victim for Jack
Sharkey and George Godfrey.
Now this pair of French Canad-
ians meet in what may be considered
the first of the heavyweight elimi-
nation bouts Of the indoor season.
Each has a long way to go before
reaching the top, but each has been
SO close to the peak that he knows
what championship fighting is about.

Bring on the IriSh,' MiddieS
Say; Pointed to Stop

BIZ. United Press
ANNAPOLIS, Md, oct. 1S.-Head
Coach Bill Ingram has a powerful
Navy eleven groomed for the visit
of 'Notre Dame at Baltimore next
Saturday.
Whereas the Rcckne Irish" Or
dinarily would be strong favorites
in such an intersectional clash, the
Middies have displayed such foot
ball strength this season as to war;
rant their being accorded an ex-
cellent chance of winning.
Although only two veterans OF
his 1927 first string eleven remained
to Ingram when the present season
started, the Navy coach has found
some jewels among the rough ma
terial.
Bring on the Irish," the middies
now say, with all the confidence in
the world. Davis Elkins and Drake
have been rolled in the mud Of
early season games beneath a Navy
steamroller. Lloyd, last years near,
all-America wingman, has been
shifted to the backfield, and has
proved a passer and runner Of the
first water.
Christy Flanagan seems to be the
outstanding star of the Notre Dame
backfield, but the Navy today is
confident of stopping the fleet red
head and his associates in the scor-
ing business.
Wind and rain Wednesday gave
the Navy squad an opportunity to
work with a wet football and judge
punts and passes against heavy
winds.

~ UGH a condition explains
G why the American League
~ magnates probably pulled
harder for a victory this year than
at any time since the world series
was inaugurated.
If Pittsburgh should outclass the
Yankees in the world series, decide
it in four or five games, it would
make the American League look like
a minor organization. It would
make all the complimentary things
said about the Yankees sound like
mere piffle.
That New York should trounce
the Pirates in four straight games
bears out the contention of the
American League managers that
New York is a super team and
should play in league by its lone
some.
IT am sure the seven other man.
ayers of the National League, aside
from Ownie Bush, can now appre-
ciate what we are up against in

Those babies are sure tough. was
the way George Moriarty, manager
Of the Detroit Tigers, put it.
Not only was four straight wins
by the Yankees a vindication of
the opinion American League
managers had of the club, but also
a great tribute to the honesty of
the game
