Despite the threatening outlook
:: ( the weather, no event at the Velo-
g rome has as yet been postponed.
mateur boxing seems destined to be
y. a flourishing condition this year
during the open air season. More
than 5000 fans saw the opening
show and almost as many saw the
second one. These figures. it is eX-
pected, will be exceeded tomorrow

1t is with regret that one recalls
the fact that no suitable outdoor
place exists in this city where the
fans of New Britain conld view the
sport all the year round. The success
OF the Mohawk A. c. at the state

shows that amateur boxing has q
large following in New Britain.

the coach said. "in 1929 Northwest

Navy Comes Back to
Beat ,Loyola, 1876

Annapolis, Nov. The Naval
Academy quickly recovered from its
surprise when Loyola of Baltimore
uncorked a passing offense which
carried the ball 20 yards for touch
down, the first. score of Saturdays
game, and scored with reasonable
regularity, the final score favoring
it by 33 to 6.
Three passes, the last from En-
right to Shea fQ a touchdown, were
the chief elements in Loyola's spir-
tied and brilliant march for a score
against the Navy team in its last
home game of 1927.
Substantial line gains by Tierney
were interspersed. The Navy, which
had started with the team which
will probably begin against the
Army next week, and cannot blame
the score on second string got
busy at once. 1t took the next kick
off and did not stop until Clifton
dove across the line for the evening
touchdown.

TRIM
OHIO STATE
WITH PASSES
Battling Buckeyes Fall by 13
to 0 Score Before
10000 Fans
BY ALAN J. GOULD
ASSOCIATED Press Sports EditOr)

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 21.-(R-
Two long passes that filtered
through Ohio States defense for
touchdowns enabled Illinois to trim
the battling Buckeyes, 13 to 0, Sat
urday. While a colorful homecom-
ing day crowd Of 10000 alternately
shivered and cheered, Ohio State
tossed away at least three good
chances to score, once missing a
touchdown by foot on a tumble.
The Buckeyes, CALAMITY trying to
regain prestige lost during an err
ratio season. put up a stirring bat
tie in the first half, but yielded to
an Illinois team that played smart
err, steadier football, capitalized its
best scoring opportunities with
wcll-executed passes.
Illinois scored twice on identical
plays, outguessing the Ohio defense
each time. Fred Humbert, sopho-
more fullback, crossed the goal line
with the first touchdown in the
opening period on q 23-yard pass
from Stuessy as the climax of a So
yard sweep down the field. The
final touchdown was carried over in
the third period by j. A. Timm,
halfback and star of the Illinois
attack, on a 26-yard heave from
French that ended steady advance
down the field from the kickoff.
Illinois Victory Decisive
It was a decisive, although far
from overwhelming, victory for the
Illini and their coach, Bob Zuppke,
who saw his team finish its season
at the top Of the Big Ten for the
first time since 1923. That year
Illinois was forced to share the
peak with Michigan. but now
they have an undisputed hold on
the top for the first time since 1919.
Today's was the. fifth straight
conference triumph for the 1llini,
and Ohio States third setback with
in the ranks Of the Big Ten. Chi
cago, Northwestern. Iowa and
Michigan fell previously before
Zuppke's men. Minnesota also was
undefeated. but the Gophers had
their record marred by tie with
Indiana.
Ohio State, in it's final stand, was
outrushed nearly three to one, out
played on defense and outgeneraled
on offense, but the Buckeyes went
down, nevertheless. with colors fly
ing. Underdogs from the start,
Coach Jack Wilce's men threatened
constantly with shower Of passes
and on several occasions uncorked
running attacks that menaced the
Illinois goal line. But lack of con-
immunity to their offensive, costly
mistakes in judgment. IS we'll as
handling Of the ball, robbed the
Buckeyes of at least one touch
down.

Carleton Loses Title
When COe Blocks Punt
Near End Of Contest

Mt. Vernon, Iowa, Nov 81
Carleton College lost its claim to the
middlewest conference football cham.
pionship here Saturday when Ralph
johnson, Cornell left end, blocked
ono of Cables kicks in the fourth
quarter, the Purple taking the ball
on the Carleton 16-yeard line and
scoring the only touchdown of the
game on the first play when Cook
circled his right end and Crabtree
added the extra point with q place
kick.
The championship encounter be-
tween two previously undefeated
teams ended with Cornell victorious,
Il to 0. No great glory was lost in
the defeat by Carleton before the
Cornell homecoming crowd. for the
Mortimer fought the c4rnell eleven
on even terms throughout the battle,
but the kicking advantage held by
Cornell was too much to allow the
invaders to &c. within striking dis
lance of the Purple goal line. Cook,
Cornell sophomore halfback, was
also responsible for the booting
which Melted an average Of 40 yards
during the game while the best
Cable and Simso COLD average was
81 yeards.
The evenness of the play between
the title contenders was broken on
two occasions during the game when
Cornell threatened to score while
Carleton failed to get within the
Cornell 20-yard line but once in the
contest. An incomplete pass into
the end zone in the second quarter
killed the first Cornell drive follow
ing two long passes by Crabtree to
Scott and Wilson but the Purple
made good the next opportunity
which came on the blocked kick.
