IT OVER
WITH JOE WILLIAMS


A T the end of those flyweight
IA fights In the Garden Monday
night Corporal Ivy Schwartz, who
Just had lost a decision TO one
Eugene Huat, a Frenchman, max
ing his American bow. shuffled over
TO Joe HUMPHREYS, the announcer,
and made emotional speech with
him. HUMPHREYS cooked a large
1iuttering ear at the corporal as II
TO make sure he had heard what he
heard and then as the customers
were moving toward the exits the
announcer babe them TO tarry whilst
he delivered an Grafton. Which was
as follows:
Ladies and gentlemen" he began. II
haze the honor to announce to you that
this grand little fighting man standing
here BY my side has decided 10 give UT
lighting. Tonight was his last fight. He
has cult for good"
The corporals theatrical retire
ruent had the effect of plunging the
big hall into a momentary silence
and through this silence a piping
voice broke Ivy, If you had had
arv brains you would have quit in
the sixth round"
4 ND while this crack was not as
IA gracious or heart warming as
1t might have been in view of the
sClemnity of the occasion, it was not
altogether immaterial or wholly the
wrong thing 10 say. For if Ivy, who
is a serious looking little fellow, with
eyes like Eddie Cantor Autographs
ana ears with a wing spread of vast
yardage. had intended to make this
his last fight, there was hardly any
sense in taking the severe beating
he did.
The Frenehman pounded IzzY fore and
aft with solid right and left hand ioits all
the way and had him hanging on in four
Of the ten rounds and whom IL over
thee was no question as to who the
bet--r man. Or the worse man. for that
matter.
Mons. Huat came here rather
furiously ballyhooed as the result of
having knocked out Spider Pladner
and Frenchie Berlanger and there
we're many people who figured he
would knock out the Corporal. He
didn't even knock him down, but
that doesn't mean he isn't a pretty
good fighter.
DERHAPS Huat isn't a second
i Jimmy Wilde, as the press
agents said he was, or even a
twenty-second one, but that should
not be held against him; he appears
to have the markings of fine hitter
and when some of the crudities of
his technique are ironed out he
ought to make an interesting per-
former.
He Is a taIIish fellow, with tawny hair,
pinched-in cheeks, and piercing looking
eyes that seem to burn with fever. He
flights in a crouch and with his right fore
arm held across his face as a guard and
shoots a straight right after the manner of
fvweights and will be mingling with the
bantans before the winter Is over.
TINE boys tell me that: Siano of
i Fordham is better center than
Tichnor of Harvard, which just
about makes him the best in the
east. The Princeton team as 1t
shaped up against Chicago was
guilty of tackling that would have
brought no credit to a grammar
school squad. :. Donchess Of Pitts
burg took the play completely away
from Fesler of Ohio State in that
duel for all-America end honors.
Old Man YoSt of Michigan saw
more than he hoped he'd see when
he watched Harvard against Flor
ida. If there is an all-America
standout on the Pacific coast this
year Young LON of California is
the bozo. .. Harvard will beat Yale
in spite of Booth. . Purdue has
more all-star material than any
