TOMMY L0UGKRAN
 DEFEATS M'7IGUE
Recognized as Light Heavy weight Champion in New York

New York, Oct. $ Pl-Tommv 1oughran. 25-yoar-old IrIsh-Ampri- can Of Philadelphia, is in" new light heavyweight champion of the world. At the end of l5 rounds Of alternately interesting and dull fighting, marked in the early rounds by claims of fOnls from both contcS- tantS, and in the later stages hy several severe exchanges, IouChran last night gained a judges decision over Mike McTigue, the amazing old man from County Clare Ireland.
 McTigue was shorn Of his laurel a little more than two months after he gained it through the graces Of tho New ! ork state athletic commission. which decided that "Bould Michael" was the logical successor to Jack De laney when the Fr"nch-Canadian in formed the commission he no longer could make the 175-pound limit.
 For time in the carly rounds last night it appeared as though Lough- ran might hc disqualified for foul ing. He landed several blows dan g"rously low. and McTigue protested 10 the referee. Loughran was call toned often. but later he protested that he had been struCk low. After their claims had been disrogard"d by the referee th" fighters started in 10 battle. and for several rounds put up q fairly good showing, with Iough- ran piling up points hy cleaner and sharper hitting.
 In the fifteenth. NcTigue, seeing his title slipping away, mad" q val iant effort 10 win on linockout. He tore into LouGhrHn with all his oh- bing strength. forcing the rhilad"l- phian 10 cover up and retreat around the ring. LouChrHn was tired at th" final bell. but Mc1jguo also had spent his energy. The decision Of the judges mot with tho approval of the croYd al the Madison square Gar den.
 l.ouGhran's victory marks the eli max Of Il long campaign h" has made for tho championship. He has been one of the outstanding Contcn- d"n5 in his division for several years, but until ihc McTiguo fight he had failed 10 get a chance at inc title. He had met McTiguc three times before last night, but all were node ciSiOn contests.

Jim Manning. former Fordham University and Hartford Blue back field star, has signed to play with the An-New Britain football team in to- morroW's game against tho Staple ton, s. l. eleven. Manning will round out a backfield which already has Potts Miller. RadzeWich, GrisW old Sturm and Zehrer in it. He will take the place of Hendricks at tullbaCk. Hendricks was released Thursday.
 With this crew in back of q strong line, the All-Now Britain team tackles tomorrow a strong eleven in Stapleton. The opposition has met and defeated the Atlantic City team so far this season and the Staploton eleven is reported to be not only powerful combination, but a fast travelling combination Of stars.
 Following the two games with the Yellow Jackets last weekend the promoters of the New Britain team cast about to reorganize the local eleven. The first movement was the signing of Tom Leary, last years Fordham captain, and Potts Miller who has played with the local team for several seasons. Then Manning was signed completing the deals whereby what is thought to be permanent team has been formed to represent this city an the profess sional football field.
 Practice was held last night at Willow Brook park and Coach Dave Dunn is satisfied that the squad will make Stapleton travel tomorrow. The team has developed a strong defense against forward passing. Stapleton is known to use q great many forwards in it's play and the team is always dangerous, The To- calls have also worked out a num- Der of shifty forward passes and these will be used to advantage to- xtorrow afternoon, it is hoped.
 The local team will line up with Bingham and Leary at ends. Conk- lin and Werwaiss at tackles, Humph- reys and Nanfeldt at guards and "Red" O'Neil at center. Graham will be at quarterback with Radze- wich, Miller and Manning in the backfleld.
 The team will leave early tomor- row morning for the scene of the battle. A number of fans plan to make the trip.

WEAVER CLASHES
 WITH RED AND GOLD
Grip t0 Start Instead Of John
 Reid This Afternoon

Every members of the New Brit ain High school football team which ran roughShod oyer the pittsford High school eleven last week will be available for the game with Weaver High school al Hartford at Battcr- son field, Hartford, this afternoon at -:o0 o'clock. However. Coach G. M. Cassidy has decided not 10 sntrt John Reid, halfback, who received a leg injury in last weeks game. In his place will be Mike" Grip, brother of John Grip of Fordham and a stron. second team man.
 Grip fitted into the lineup very we'll in the practice game with the New Britain Blues at Willow Brook park Wednesday afternoon and at the end of Thursdays practice Coach Cassidy asked Captain John Erickson whether he would take a chance on Grip and save Reid from serious injury If he played while his leg is still in a doubtful condition. Captain Erickson and the team vot- cd to let Grip take the place.
 1nCidently the Delta Nj fraternity has mean grip on the football team now with members in. inc en- tire backfeld and every place but three in the line. The only players who arc not in this fraternity are Captain Erickson who is a non fraternity man; Jimmy Scully. a Theta Sigma member and Fred Zehrer a member of the Alpha lota Epsilon fraternity.
 New Britain will get the real fest of the season this afternoon. With out doubt the Weaver team is con- Sidered the strongest to represent the school since it was opened few years ago and the followers of Hart lords north end team arc expressive in their talk of what is coming to New Britain this year. According to the wise boys. the Hartford team IS the best and strongest high school team in the state this year. New Britain will have to be at top form to take the contest. Last year, New Britain's state championship team defeated Weaver fl to 8, although Weaver led for the greater part Of the game.
 Following are the boys New Brit ain will place it's hopes in today: Scully, center; kuhs, left guard: Reckert right guard: Anderosn. left tackle; Nevuls. right tackle, Zehror. left end; Netrano. right end; Landi- no, quarterback; Grip. left halfback; 
 Ialeski. right halfback; and Sowka. fullback. On the offonse Zehror and Erickson arc going to play on the right side of the line.
 Unless if rains very hard the game will be played.

But despite his absence. there were no less than l letter men in the lineup of the western conference aggrega- tion while the best Harvard could muster for its second encounter of the season was eight holders of the III The squad from Lafay- cite, Ind, had 10 other veterans in reserve.
 In one department, however. Har- ward was favored. That was in the matter of weight. The Cambridge warriors averaged 1S4 pounds while V. Such preponderance was bound to count, local experts argued, in an attempt to offset the admitted edge Of the invaders.
 The Crimson, 1t was predicted, would play a line-ramming game in an effort to capitalize its weight ad- vantage with a judicious interspers- .,l of lnt J ,,l With two exceptions the lineup was the same as that which faced Yer mont a week ago in the seasons first victory.
 Purdue, on the other hand. had q strong forward passing game and q flashy single and double backfcld shift in it's repcrtory.
