Larkin Falls

Tippy Knocked Out
in Second Round

SAN FRANCISCO, March g.
-(Pi - Game little Henry Arm
strong is over another tough
hurdle on determined cam
p.ign TO regain his manifold ring
glories, and the way he polished
off Tippy Larkin in less than
two rounds last night brought to
mind his knock 'em out days of
old.
Armstrong set the stage for his
April bout with the sensation
al Beau Jack in New York by
knocking out Larkin in one
minute and nine seconds of the
second round in their scheduled
10-round scrap before some g.
600 fans in the Civic auditorl-
UNI.
Larkin, Garfield, N. j., boy
with an amazing string Of victor
les, took the first round by a
shade, using his obvious height
advantage to put across a num-
Der of long left jabs and an
occasional right.
But in the second round he
dropped his guard for a brief in
slant, and Armstrong flashed in
a right that spun the New Jer-
sey boy around. A swift left
hooked him and he spraWled on
the canvas for the full count. His
handlers had to drag him to his
corner.
Armstrong, who once held the
featherWeight,s lightweight and
welterWeight titles simultan-
eously, weighed 1879 pounds to
Larkin's 140l2, and gave away
several inches in height.

Accent
on Wrestling
Declares Soldiers
Would Benefit

LEXINGTON, Va, March g.
(P)-- Capt. Clifford Gallagher
asserted today that the art Of
wrestling is essential in making
a "disarmed man an efficient
killer" and should be taught all
soldiers in combat units of the
American Army.
He added that what little en-
phasis is placed on the sport by
the Army today is incomplete"
Gallagher, former wrestling
coach at Harvard and Lafayette,
is in the Army Air Corps and To-
Gated at the Army school for
special services at historic Wash
ington and Lee University here.
Gallagher said he believed
wrestling should be AN integral
part of the Army's training pro-
gram because it is tough bod
ily-contact sport which helps put
a soldier in excellent physical
condition.
THE ability to wrestle may
save soldiers lives and be a
means Of destroying an enemy
Fundamentals of the mat art are
basic in the training Of hand-to-
hand combat.
Extensive schooling in wres.-
ling is received by the Japa-
nese," Gallagher con tinued.
Fundamentals and holds are
taught in the beginning schools,
and more advanced work. in
Guiding jiu-jitsu, is taught in
technical schools"
Gallagher said he favored the
development of system OF
Army wrestling that could be
taught to college and High
school coaches in six weeks.
