Boston, Dec. 22.-(UP)-Buddy Knox of Dayton, O., eighth ranking heavyweight, held split decision over Al Mccoy of Boston today af- ter a 1O-round feature bout before 10000 fans at Boston Garden.
 The 22-year old Irishman, who may be Lou Nova's next opponent, outpunched the New England heavy weight titlist by wide margin last night. A steady stream of upper cuts had Mccoy wobbly in the 10th round.
 The weights were: Knox 1882, Mccoy 182.
 In another 10-round bout, Bob Pastor of New York, who once went 10 rounds with Champion Joe Louis, won unanimous decision over Tony Shucco of Boston.

 Pastor easily took the last five rounds with Shucco slightly groggy at the end.
 Pastor weighed 183 and Shucco, 1811s,

Texas Christian Two Deep In Star Players

Following is the second of series on the football teams that will play in the Bowl games.
 By RICHARD M. MOREHEAD
 Fort Worth, Tex, Dec. p. (UP)- You have heard of Davey O'Brien and Ri Aldrich, but what most peo- pie, including the Carnegie Tech football players, don't know is that stars are two deep on the Texas Christian football team.
 Don't be surprised if some com paratively unknown player emerges as a hero when TCU and Carnegie Tech meet in the New Orleans Sugar Bowl game.
 The light of publicity that has been thrown on OBrien, Aldrich and I. B. Hale, the tackle, has blind- ed most people to the reserve strength that Coach Dutch Meyer will be able to throw into the Sugar Bowl game.
 There is, for instance, the case oi Jack Odle, 180-p pound sophomore who is quite a passer, too. His per- centage for the season on completed passes is ASA, which means that he is almost an even money bet to com plete a pass every time he throws the ball. His punts have averaged Al 1-2 yards.
 Aldrich'S substitute is Clarence Alexander, 195-pound sophomore, who besides being an efficient cen- ter is dependable place kicker.
 Down in this part of the country the name of Earl Clark, regular halfback, is well known, but he, too, has been overshadowed by O,Brien He is a coach's dream of a bootball player-the best blocker in this sec- tion. And he can carry the mail when they call on him to do so Clark has caught six touchdown passes and averaged 6.66 yards every time he has carried the ball.
 In case anything should happen to Connie Sparks, regular fullback who has scored 60 points this season, two men are ready to step in and take his place. They are Ward Wilson, a fine punter and Lacy McLanahan, 8 power runner.
 Don Looney and Durwood Horner are the regular ends, but five others Paul Snow, Charles Williams, Rus sell Hensch, Bob Jordan and Melvin Ehlers-are available. No matter which two of them are playing end, TCU is aSured of having a fine pair of pass receivers.
 OBrien, of course, is the spear head of the attack. He scored 46 points this Seaeson, 28 of them by place kicks after touchdowns. He threw 93 completed passes for a completion average of .557, and IS of those passes went for touchdowns.
 The January 2 game will be the third bowl fray in five years for TCU. In 1885 TCU defeated Loui- Siana State, 3 to ?, in the Sugar Bowl; in 1886 it won from Mar quette, 16 to 6, in the Cotton Bowl.
 Carnegie Tech will run against a h1gh-Scoring team that can strike with equal skill along the ground O, through the aid. The only team that gave TCU any kind of a fight thi: season was Arkansas which lost. 2I to IA. All other opponents were de. feated by at least two touchdowns.

lame back. Febo Guarine has a sweet cold, Rocco Petteniccio's eyes bother him. J. Santillo is in slump and J. Manzo will be absent, outside of that Princeton is rarin to go. will take this opportunity to wish all the members of our league a Merry Christmas especially J. Ven- tresca who is ill in the hospital and J. Piacentini who lost his toe last week. We hope Santa will bring these boys a quick and speedy re- covery and may we see them among us again very soon. Again I say Merry Christmas to all and don't forget keep sober and don't do any, thing that we would not do.
 Following are the individual scores and averages and also team scores and standings.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-12-22

J. Copobianco-A bottle of hair restorer. Jerry claims his head gets cold and makes him feel kind of queer q wonder if he means in the the heaO so that he can't get hot, and thence the reason for such cold scores.
 J Pincentini-A new toe for the one the doctor stole from him last week.
 I think I have said enough for now except that I think Brown is in for a licking playing Princeton tonight. Princeton is in great shape for this game. Tony Barberi has a
