be big all-America in the National

phia Eagles to a l4-to-7 victory over

for the winning touchdown with an
80-yard run in the third period. TAX

of tackle. made his way 20 yards into
the open, then reversed his field and
tore down the sidelines.
Kicks and Passes, Too.
Rifle also turned in runs of IA. TO-
8 and several 5-yard gains, in addi-
ton to showing he can kick and pass.
On defense he was good, too, averting
what seemed certain score for the
all-stars when he bumped Wendell
Rabbit" Wear OF Penn State out of
bounds on the Eagles A after the lat
ter had returned the opening kick
off so yards.
Rifle alternated with Dave Smukler
in ripping off short gains in the first
period that set the stage for the Eagles
first score. a 20yard forward, Smukler
to Jay Arnold. He was out of the game
in the last quarter when Wear tossed
a forward pass to George Matsik of
Duquesne. that was good for 66 yards
and the collegians' only score.
Standing 6 feet inch and weighing
1874 pounds. Rifle was named to the

NEW YORK, Aug. 25-Pedro
MontaneZ. the Puerto Rican light
weight who never lost a bout in the
United States until he tried to lift
the championship from Lou Ambers
last year, apparently isn't going to
let that one defeat discourage him.
Pedro had bad night in every wav
against Ambers and was badly beaten.
He lost no time starting to work his
way up from the bottom again, but was
checked this summer by illness and
injury.
Last night he proved he's fit once
more, and ready to make a bid for the
title now held by Henry Armstrong,
when he scored 5-round technical
knockout over Orville Drouillard,
rather hardy customer from Windsor,
Ontario.
Montanez banged Drouillard around
from the very start and floored him
for a count in the third with a
vicious right to the stomach. He re-
peated the dose in the fifth, right to
the body and a left to the head, and
Referee Arthur Donovan called a halt
as the Canadian sank to his knees.
Montanez weighed 1891 and Drouil-
lard 127.

fugitive.
This brings down to date Dr..
Orestes Ferrara, former secretary
of state of Cuba, returning to Cuba
yesterday after five years exile in the
United States. Three years ago the
Cuban government was trying to ex-
tradite him under charges of mall
feasance. 1t is now indicated that
he will be received in the spirit of
Christmastide. He says he will pick
up politics where he left off.
He left off with machine gun bull
let's piercing the wings of his plane,
on August r., 1888. When he landed
in Miami, he was menaced by
crowd of Cuban patriots whose
leader called him an assassin and
challenged him to a duel. That was
perfect hospitality to DR.. Ferrara.
He clicked his heels, bowed and
reached for his cardcase, when a
policeman standing by, unschooled
in punctilio. tunked the challenger
on the head with a nightstick and
carted him off to jail
DR.. Ferrara soon had a nice lair
IN the Ritz-Carleton Hotel, in New
York, where he used to roll back the
rug and engage in daily sword prac-
tlce with fencing partner. Looking
out on the winter landscape in De-
cember. 1888. he said, ITS cold up
here. 1 wonder when I'll be going
home"
His first visit to New York had
been as a youth, running guns to
Cuba. He followed the guns and
landed in Cuba at the age of 20.
| When he was % he was a colonel, a
governor of a province and no an
archist-getting fast running start
as a millionaire. He made a for
tune IN sugar, founded the news
paper Heraldo de Cuba, and gained
power as an ally OF Machado, the
President who made a similar and
! simultaneous getaway.
Col Fulgencio Batista, Cuban
| strong man to whom we recently
made friendly overtures, used to
lay for him like submarine. A
travelling friend of this writer, who
occasionally gets something out of
the Cuban feedboX, says the half
has not been told about Batista
rapprochement with foreign indus
trial interests and DR.. Ferrara's part
therein. Charges of undue friend
illness with these interests had much
to do with DR.. Ferrara's sabbatica,
