CHAMPION DEFEATS
CHALLENGER in 10
BLISTER|NG ROUNDS
Chicagoan Stages Reck|essly
Game Battle in Effort to
Annex Crown
14,022 FANS SEE CONTEST
Winner Wages Relentless Fight;
Scores Two knockdoWns
Over Foe

Chicago, Nov. 5.-(P)-Earl Mastrc
today was another one of the boys
who have tried to knock the feather
weight championship crown from
Bat 'Battalino's head without being
able to do more than leave it slightly
askew.
The hardy youngster from Hart
ford, Conn.,, who can be depended
upon to fight like champion when
his title is the prize, did exactly that
Wednesday night in the Chicago
stadium, winning the decision after
ten blistering rounds to thwart Mas
tro's challenge. The Chicago Italian
a master boxer, fought recklessly
game fight, but the champions rug
gedness and never ceasing attack
won him the favor of Referee Dave
Barry and one Judge. The other
judge cast his vote for a draw.
Mastro came so close, however
that Barry's score card showed 81
points for the champion to 49 for the
handsome Chicago youngster. The
crowd of 14,022 spectators who left
$40,353 at the gates, apparently ap-
proved the decision, although Mastro
was big sentimental favorite.
Battalino, as usual, set his oNn
pace and maintained it almost with
out variation every second Of the
way. Mastro outboxed him in spots
and made him miss badly on oc-
casions, but the end of every round
found Battalino gaining the advan-
tage He scored two knockdoWns,
and his purposeful body attack slow
ed Mastro down almost every time
the latter got nicely started.
A left hook to the body and right
to the Jaw sent Mastro down in the
second round, but the challenger
bounced to his feet before a count
could be started. He was in real
danger and Battalino's next rush sent
him reeling into the ropes. He recov-
cred quickly and the crowd was in an
uproar as he traded punches with the
champion until the bell sounded.
Mastro hit the floor again near the
end of the sixth when Battallno
crashed left to the body, and stay
ed down for a count Of nine.
In the last two rounds Battalino's
greater strength became plainly evi-
dent and he battered the tired Mas
tro almost at will. Ringside observers
credited the champion with five
rounds, with Mastro having definite
edge only in the first. Battalino
weighed 125 1-2 and Mastro scaled
124 Ia.
Sammy Mandep, former worlds
lightweight champion. suffered the
humiliation Of having his eight round
go with Ralph Lenny, Union City. N.
j., declared no contest. Mandell was
back on his heels most Of the time
with Lenny, sharpshooting boxer,
the aggressor.

0UAKERS SLATED TO
GIVE irish HARDEST
CONTEST Of SEASON
Hunk Anderson Delivers Lecture
to Squad on Effect of
Balloon Heads
CLAIM BEST LINE IN EAST
Minnesota and Northwestern
Have Finished Hard Part
Of Preparations

Chicago, Nov. 5.-(P)--If there is
anything in reports from Pliladel-
phia, Pennsylvanias unbeaten foot
ball team will give Notre Dame its
toughest argument of the season
when they meet in the new brick
stadium at South Bend Saturday.
According to clipping posted in
the dressing room of the fighting
Irish, Penn will come west, not with
the idea Of holding Notre Dame to a
close score, but confident of winning.
Coach Harvey Harmon thinks he has
the best line in the east. according to
the reports, as we'll as a great full
back in Perina, and he believes his
eleven has the best chance any team
has had of beating Notre Dame.
Coach Hunk Anderson is more
worried over over-confidence than
about Penn, and Wednesday delivered
a lecture on Balloon Heads" which
had the effect of stirring the Irish
regulars enough to wallop the fresh
men, 49 to 0 in a practice game.
Northwestern and Minnesota have
finished the hard part of their prep
aration for Saturdays battle at
Evanston. The Wildcats have their
most powerful lineup ready for the
contest, and the Gophers expect to
have all hands in condition by Satur-
day with the possible exception OF
Wells, a star lineman, Ken Mac
Dougall, the 145 pound sparkplug OF
the Minnesota attack, has been SUI
fering with an injured ankle, but is
expected to be ready to help in his
teams most important test. =
Illinois will be without Herman
Wa!ser, it's regular quarterback,
against Wisconsin Saturday, but the
Badgers also will be lacking a star
back. Bobby Schiller was so seriously
injured in the Minnesota game that
he Is not slated to make the trip TO
Champaign. Only routine drills re-
main for the rest Of the week in other
Big Ten camps. Michigan and In
diana, who tangle at Ann Arbor, have
tied up all loose ends, and the Wo!-
yerines are confident of squaring up
for that one touchdown defeat ad-
ministered In 1923.
Purdue and Chicago who meet
ron-conference opponents, will use
Saturday for experimental purposes,
but Iowa and Ohio State, which also
20 out Of the league, have such seri-
Gus assignments in Nebraska and
Navy, respectively, that they plan to let
20 with all the power they possess.
Purdue does not expect much trouble
from Centenary, and Chicago is look

although the Syracuse eleven has
yet to prove any claims to greatness
by its coming games with Michigan
State, Columbia and Colgate, yet
Moran has been outstanding in all
the Oranges victories thus far and
Is, I believe, about fourth in the ma

points.
Should Syracuse win all it's re-
manning games or all but one and, al
the same time, should Moran con-
tinue his scoring splurge, 1t would ap-
pear he could be considered for q

Moran Is q former Niagara Falls

the best backfielders ever produced
