CANZONERI HOLDS
 TITLE BY CLOSE MARGIN OVER KEED
By l.. s. CAMERON United Press Sports Editor)


 New York, Nov 21-(UP)-Tony Canzoneri, popular Brooklyn Ital- ian, took time today to tell how he won last nights bout with Kid Chocolate, so-called Cuban Bon- Bon, in his most frenzied defense of his lightweight title.
 "In the first place." Tony said, You can't win fights backing up. That's what Chocolate seemed to be trying to do.
 You can't win rounds by fight ing only in spurts. Chocolate did that. too. It's reasonable to say that if you win two of each rounds three minutes. youll win the round. And if you win enough. rounds you'll win the nod. That's why I beat Chocolate"
 It was marvellous bout this scrap between Canzoneri and Cho- colate. For the Kid it was the battle of his life. Trained down to a perfgect fighting condition and opposed to boxer whose ring style was like his own, Chocolate had golden opportunity to acquire box ing's second most valuable title.
 Tony Punched Harder.
 Bpt the failing fists of the 1tal-' ian piled up such impressive point totals that from the eleventh round onward the issue seemed destined to come out as it did.
 The early rounds were the best ones. In each of the first three rounds the two boys stood off with delightful desregard for defen- sive strategy and whaled away at each other. Slugging toe to toe. In each of these wild exchanges Chocolate came out on top.
 Chocolate forged ahead from the fourth rounr to the ninth. Can zoneri, apparently was willing to give his opponent a chance to do some of the leading, and the Kid accepted the opportunity. Blu! beginning with the ninth round Tony began to apply the pressure. scoring with everything he had. He coasted into whirlwind finish in which Chocolate swapped blow for blow.
 Crazy Odds.
 Canzoneri had been the betting favorite at odds of three to one. The "ones" in the galleries who had tried to make themselves think Chocolate was winning, succeeded. So when the decision was an- nounced, one of the noisiest out bursts of mixed cheering and jeer- ing ever heard in Madison Square Garden was begun. It was con- tinued until strong arm squads managed to force passage for the boxers through the crowded aisles and was followed by fruit thrown into the ring.
 Canzoneri, by his victory. gained custodianship of the Lord Lons- dale belt. a trophy of solid gold oroginally awarded to the late Fredie Welsh of England. Can zoneri must make two more suc- cessfui defenses of his title if he Is to gain permanentn possession. and Chocolate 127 1-2.

 The Ansonia eleven boasts of a sturdy line, which is considered an equal wall to that of the Ponies, and is fortified by a speedy back field. Srang, Tminski, Talberg and McEvoy are all fast ball carriers, ad no doubt the Ponies will en- counter @ tough task in checking their ball carrying tactics.
 Coach Fay Vincent will probably use the first string collection of Thomaston players at the start of the game, but will have another full team ready to enter the tussle at any interval. The probable starting Thomaston lineup will be as follows: Smith and Bertanagle, ends; Abraham and Bristol, tackles; J. Sarog and Kane, guards; Concannon, center; Shear CT, quarterback; M.

Cornell pressed Holy Cross hard throughout the entire game, but the latter proved a bit stronger at at close, and emerged a 23 to 20 winner, in the feature game of the K. of l.. Community basketball league last night at Barnard school gym.

 Stanford Wins Easily
 Lefty" Baron's Stanford boys returned back to their former selves. and counted heavily by de- feating Princeton array 34 to 20 in a one-sided battle.

 Albie Needs Dry Ground

A heavy field would be "a distinct handicap to the midget Booth in open field running, while a wet ball would interfere with Woods pass ing enecttveneSS.
 The Wood.-Booth duel provides one of the contests most interest ing sidelights. The rival captains have met annually since they cap tained their freshmen elevens. Both has been unable to score victory.
 Unquestionably a better natural football player and Woods superior in running, Booth lacks the Har- yard quarterback's keen judgment Of plays and passing ability. Then too, Wood is one of those forum ate individuals seemingly blessed by lady luck. Booth has been con- sistently unlucky. He never has been at his best against Harvard.
 Yale has arrested almost three weeks for to-day's game, with no major foe since October 31, and is keyed. for victory, Harvard is worn from successive hard battles with Dartmouth and Holy Cross.
