INDIAN, N E GRO FIGURE TO FIGHT
 FROM FIRST BELL
MuIligan, A.A.U. National Champion, Makes First
 Local Showing

Youth will have it's fling when Larney Moore, hard hitting Valley Stream, Long Island, mtddleweight. and Andres (Indian) Gomez, Cuban champion, clash in the iO-round main go of tonight's fight card at Randolph Gloves Stadium.
 The ability of the two youngsters Is well known to local fans and the prospect of seeing two rugged punchers on their way up the fistic ladder is expected to attract one of the largest crowds of the current outdoor season.
 Gomez, who can't speak word of English, was made" in the eyes of local fans when as Q substi- ute = he pounded out a win over Jerry Fiorello of Brooklyn in an action filed bout several weeks ago. The following week the Cuban bolo puncher came back to belt out Mike Piskin, veteran New Jersey middle weight.
 Moore in his only appearance here dropped Q hairline verdict to Irish Eddie Dolan, local welter star, but the bout was anything but the one sided contest that many fans who didn't know Moore figured it would be. Tn fact. there were many spec tators who argued that Larney's sharper hitting and aggressiveness should have given him no worse than 6 draw.
 Both Moore and Gomez expect to scale around l52 tonight according to word received Thursday by Pro- moter George Mulligan. The weigh ing-in was at Mulligan's, Phoenix avenue, at o'clock this afternoon.
 Two lightweights who made up in willingness to fight what they lack in cleverness = Mexican Joey Silva and Cedric (Boom- Boom) Flour noy of Detroit - will square off in one of three six-round bouts on the supporting card. Tourney has been campaigning in New York and comes recommended as fighter who swings 'em from the floor. Silva is dt AiAS pCSt 0SaAaos ~ hiAbVAAA1h SA this style.

 Jimmy Mulligan, Lowell, Mass, Nght-heavyweight, who many be- lieve will soon be an outstanding heavyweight contender, will makt his debut here in a second six. Former national amateur middle weight champion, Muiligan will take on Spec Wiley, veteran Naugatuci 75-pounder.
 Tom Collins. local welterweight veteran, and Pete Prosper, unde- feated Philadelphia lightweight, will trade punches in the third six rounder. Prosper will have to spot Collins considerable weight, but packs . real wallop, having recent ly knocked out Joey Wasnick in the New Haven Arena.
 Jack Lyons, former Oklahoma University boxer, now Bridgeport defense worker, will make his pro- debut in the four round curtain raiser against Jimmy Rouse of New York. Lyons recently kayoed Al Oliver in an amateur bout at West Haven.

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Summit, N. J., Sept. 4-(UP)- Because of those Pearl Harbor or ders, 1t seems that Freddie (Red) Cochrane of the Navy, world well terweight champion, may establish some sore of record by fading out of the pugilistic picture without having defended his crown even once.
 Manager Willie Gilzenberg read of the orders in the training ring yesterday after a big clambake for sports writers and four rounds of boxing had been completed here in the Bey camp.
 The official letter commanded Cochrane to appear at New York not later than September 12-just two days after his U. s. o. scrap with Fritzie Zivic at Madison Square Garden-for orders and transportation to the 14th naval district at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii
 When Gilzenberg announced the shift to Pearl Harbor, here in the Bey gym, there might have been cheering from the fight mob, had it not been that a gray-haired lady sitting on the pine bench near the gymnasium door, burst into tears. It was Cochrane's mother, who never had seen her champion son toss leather until his current train ing campaign. And this was only the second time she had watched him conditioning.
 Until the ring announcement, Mrs. Agnes Cochrane had no idea that her red-haired son was Pearl Harbor bound. Hence her surprised weeping. Behind her moist hand kerchief, Mother Cochrane refused to be interviewed-refuSed to talk about a new development that ap- parently was cutting her heart out.
 No Title Defense
 Meanwhile, Champion Freddie hadn't seen the Pearl Harbor let ter, and when Gilzenberg made the announcement, he snapped at his manager, Whats the matter with you? Have you gone screwy?" Then, pilot Willie of the bushy hair, showed Cochrane the letter, which may mean that this is the kids last fight and that he may never defend the title.
 The brigade of sports writers who had come to the clambake were fiabbergasted. They had consid- cred next Thursdays return battle with zivic the prelude to a title encounter with either zivic or Ray Robinson. Harlem's unbeaten welter contender.
 Cochrane, who won the i47-pound crown from Pittsburgh zivic a year ago last July. is being groomed to prove that his upset title victory over Zlyic was no fiuke. although Freddie has had only three fights since winning the crown-ali non- title engagements. This is ex- plained by Cochrane's enlistment in the Navy in August. l94i. about 10 days after he won the title.
 Tn those three bouts. Cochrane son non-title decisions over Lew Jenklns-then lightweight cham pion. and Bobby Britton, son of the former weiterweight champion. Jack Britton. But in his last bout. he lost a l0-round bout to 6arvey Young of the Marines at Boston in Navy

studded which probably accounts for them being in such great de- mand for exhibition games at the present time. Their pitching staff which includes Brown and Sivess is one of the strongest in the New York area. With Swaney taking a turn every now and then, the twirl- ing staff numbers no less than six first string performers.
 Coach Swaney claims that 1t is necessary to carry such big staff because of the heavy schedule of exhibition contests which the Bomb- CTS play in @ season.
 The appearance of the Grumman crew here will mark only their sec- ond Sunday away from home this season.

 Dippy Evans Is back at left half, having been at fullback last season, when he led the Irish in rushing and scoring.
 Jerry Cowhig, fullback, is the only sophomore likely to break into the starting lineup despite outside claims of a great ex-brosh array. If Cowhig doesn't succeed, 1t will be because of Jim Mello or Corwin Clatt, also spohs.

Already zivic has been made the 9--5 favorite because of Cochrane's inactivity and because zivic has staged @ grand comeback since losing the title.
 But Cochrone says, This may be my last professional fight. Whether 1t is or not, I've simply got to lick zivie, and prove that my title win was no accident. It wasn't Q fluke, Zivie doesn't like to take 1t in the belly. The last time we met, l pounded his belly like a bass drum. I can do 1t again."

 Tailback in 194l, Bertelli will be at quarterback this trip, feed- ing the ball to other backs and tossing forwHrds and laterals.
 Leahy is no green hand with the T. He ran plays from sort of lopsided T at Boston College and at Notre Dame last fall.
 But Leahy, the perfectionist, takes no chances. Ed McKeever, his hack:ield coach, watched the Chicago Bears at work at Della field, Wis. Leahy engaged Bob Snyder, a good back with the Bruins AS A backfield mentor.

Al, will be at left guard and Harry Wright, blocking quarterback of last fall, at right guard. Wright previously was guard.
 These switches also show you to what extent Leahy, one of the brighter football minds, fits his personnel to his system of play.
 Jack Barry and Capt. George Murphy have the end o b s cinched.
 Lou Rymkus has the inside track at left tackle, Bob Neff or Larry Sullivan at right.
 SOPHOMORES TO DO SHOCK TROOP WORK
 Bertelli, a junior; Evans, a seni- or; Cowhig or Mello, sophomores; and Right Halfback Bill Early or Creighton Miller will probably form the 5ackfield. Early is senior, Miller junior.
 Leading sophomores, b ] d s the fullbacks, include John Cree vey, 205-pound quarter; Bob Liv- ingstone, diminutive left h a l i; Herb Coleman, center; Jack Zilly, Bill Huber and Paul Limont, ends: and Johnny Adams. left tackle.
 The reason Notre Dame has SO many sophomores on the squad is that the Irish have few seniors and juniors, only four 1922 juniors won letters last year and only three are back.
 Much shock troop work will fall upon the sophomores, for not even Frank Leahy is expected to guide his squad through ii tough games on consecutive weeks with 60-minute players.
 Other leading mid-western in- dependents are Michigan State. Detroit and Marquette.
