NiddleWei5ht Champion Makes
 Short Work Of Ancient BattIer

Chicago, Nov. 2 tPt- Dave Bar ry, the referee who made q name for him mselt as he counted over Gene Tunney last September, could have scOunted over 800 over the ancient Mike McT'igue last night for all Mike cared.

Actually the fight lasted two min utas and 15 seconts--not including the five minutes %i.TiSuo was un- conscious.
 Three times Mike went down be- fore a smart, championlike attack. The first time he was up at nine, but groegy. Walker, avoiding Denlp- sey's error. went to the far corner of the ring. When McTiEue got up, Mickey tatooed the older fighters mii-section and then, when the Me Tigue guard dropped, sent leffs and rights to the Jaw. McTieue fell against the ropes and sid to the canvas.
 Up at ninc, Mike was q wide open mark for Walkers machine gun speed and cannon power McTiguc was out against the ropes, hanging partly from the ring oyer the mid dle strand. Then b. slumped to the floor and the formali'y of q count was completed. In his corner his seconds labored long before Mike, principal in many great fight and former light heavyweight champion himself. was able to understand who threw the brick.

Still, the Harvard line is regarded as strong and some Of it's backficld members have displayed real ability.
 It is the first football game in o2 years between the institutions. and, as both teams have lost prestige to recover, it should develop into a nip-and tuck battle.

RUM HAUL

A veil of secrecy has descended
upon the mysterious theft of $40, 900
worth Of liquor consigned to the
French embassy here. No one
seems to know where it was lost,
and no one seems TO care.
The report that a statement was
made in London to the effect that
the cargo was "hi-jacked" some
where between Washington and New
York seemed to come as a distinct
surprise to all the Government
agencies said to be conducting Wig
orous Investigations.
The customs authorities today de-
MED any knowledge Of the London
report, and 1t created as much sur
prise in the offices of the Depart
ment Of Jusice.
According to Federal officials the
French, embassy has made no local
announcement concerning their
theory of the theft. and the London
report was a complete surprise.
The report made public in Lon.
don states that the consignment. in
Guiding all choice wines and cham
pages, was safely landed in New
York and placed aboard trucks for
Washington. There the information
stops and the mystery begins.
Nothing further could be learned
from the French embassy today.
