In Huff as Cheers for
T. K. O. Victim Ring
BY SID FEEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


NEW YORK, March 1.-They
wrote Lou Ambers' fistic obituary
today, but 1t was hero's song, not
q funeral march.
Because, although he was stopped
by the dynamite of Lew Jenkins in
Madison Square Garden last night,
the laughing boy not only stood up
to the Texas thumper blow for blow,
but actually was leading the fight
when the roof fell in on him In the
seventh round.
He wasn't supposed to last five
rounds against one of the most
dangerous punchers the little men
of the ring ever have known. He
was supposed to be all washed up
and was advised not to take this
fight for fear it might do him some
permanent hurt. He wasn't sup
posed to do anything except try to
keep out of harms way.
Ambers More Like Champ.
Yet, after a slow start he walked
right into the bricks the skinny
swatter from Sweetwater tossed
from the third through the sixth
round, left-handed him silly in
that stretch, and appeared more like
a champion than Jenkins did-until
the seventh.
Then, after Lou had been f1oored
three times and Referee Arthur
Donovan had stopped the bout at
2:26 Of the seventh the little Herki-
mer Hurricane called it quits, an
nouncing his retirement as tears
streaked his smile and the cheers
of the 15,402 customers still rang
In his ears-an for him.
Just to make it stick, his long
time pal and manager, Al WE'LL, said
he would sign Laughing Lou to a
new 10-year contract, "just so no
one ever can talk him into changing
his mind and trying to come back"
AS for jenkins, he was quite a. bit
less than terrific in this over weight
match in which his world light
weight championship was not on the
line against the bouncing battler he
won 1t from last May.
Cheers for Lou Milf Victor.
He had Ambers helpless on the
ropes in the second round and let
him get away. He couldn't get out
of the way of the Ambers' left. And,
finally, he ran out of the ring at the
finish, refusing to talk on the radio
or put on his bathrobe, and obvi-
ously miffed, apparently because the
cheers were rocking the rafters for
Ambers alone. AS he left, one ring
wise veteran, sitting at ringside
called to him, Champions don't act
like that, boy"
For his next outing. Skinny from
Texas will take on Bob Montgomery
Henry Armstrong type of Negro
battler from Philadelphia, in the
Garden March 81 in an over-the-
weight 60. This is the same Mont
gomery who floored him, although

Tame Mat Meet
Two Reach Final Bouts,
But With Scont Hope
Of Success Tonight
BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON.

If you've never seen college wres-
ting before, but have been nurtured
on a steady diet of the uproarious
professional variety, the Southern
Conference tournament ending to-
night at College Park is an eye
opener.
A rose of another name may smell
as sweet, as Will Shakespeare so
eloQuently observed, but, then, he
never saw college wrestling match.
But, withal, the collegiate brand has
its merits. The combatants struggle
well nigh unto exhaustion. Some
are pleasantly clever, some are
strong and all are willing, but the
sport lacks something and it's prob
ably the horseplay of the pros.
Yesterday afternoon and last night
as the boys struggled through pre-
liminaries and semifinals we didn't
see a single athlete leer at the
sparsely inhabited stands and
threaten to rap some heads together.
Neither referee lost his shirt or was
even disheveled at the finish. The
heavy kettle-drumming of clenched
fists, sound effect 13-B on pro mats,
was conspicously missing, as were
the old, familiar battle cries of rub

panied the jibe with a forceful
thrust of the small end of an UNI

and too tame.
A couple Of times bouts were
halted while one of the contestants
blew his nose. Blood-letting was as
taboo as the s1iff1es and at the first

while the bleeding grappler received
