Here's what the films showed;

which headed for the left coffin
corner. Colella was racing for the
corner. parallel with the goal line
and about half a yard from it.
Tony Minisi, defending Navy half
back, came racing up from the
end zone determined to hit Colella
the moment the pass was caught.
Minisi did just that. Colella
grabbed the ball five yards from
the sideline with a jumping catch
and while still in the air tried to
twist his way over the payoff
stripe. He was hit in midair and
brought to earth almost on the
sideline with his legs over the

Ponsetto, Robinson Lost for Season
Coach Hunts
Reserves
Yerges Doubtful
for Saturday
BY BILL HARDY

ANN ARBOR, Nov. 6-The last
faint shreds of hope that Capt.
Joe Ponsetto and Don Robinson
might return to the Michigan
football teams lineup this season
were blasted today when Coach
Fritz Crisler announced that both
will be lost for the remainder Of
the season.
Ponsetto, ranked by Crisler as
the peer of Forest Evashevski,
may be forced to undergo an
operation soon in order to restore
tfuif action TO the knee which was
injured as Michigan scored a
1910. victory over Illinois Oct. 27.
The Flint, Mich, star moved
about campus last week with his
knee in a cast and he reported
daily that he believed his condi-
ton was improving.
MAY OPERATE
However, a close examination
by doctors yesterday revealed
that the torn ligaments were not
mending properly. and they are
now considering an operation.
Robinson's smooth signal-call-
ing and expert passing against
Minnesota in his first grid as
signment since he returned from
air battles in ETO heralded a
great comeback for the Detoriter
who won letters as a halfback in
1928.
Then, in the waning minutes Of
the game. he suffered a recur-
trence Of an old knee injury. Now
Crisler has been advised that

"They turned the lights out"
said McQuillar when the doctor
asked him if he could see. 81
can't see you. / can't see any
thing"
So McQuiilar was declared the
loser on a technical Knockout
when he failed to respond to the
bell in the sixth.
Later, when the boxer was
examined further in his dressing
room by DR.. Schlafer and his own
personal physician, it was found
that he had suffered a cut inside
the eye lid which bled profusely,
binding him temporarily. How
ever. the physicians agreed that
he would suffer no permanent III
effects.
Up TO the time "the lights went
out" McQuillar had things pretty
much his own way, but Gomez
became stronger as the bout pro-
greSsed and was coming strong
when it came to its sudden end.
PROMOTER SEES RED
The other person who had blood
I'm his eye was promoter Oryill
Godfrey and he had it there only
in figurative sense. Godfrey be-
came irritated when some mis-
creant stole the gloves for the
main bout and forced him TO put
on an emergency bout while a
search was being made for new
mitts for the main eventers. The
gloves later were recovered but
not until Godfrey had laid out
S6750 for the extra bout.
In this contest Langford Green,

knockout over Booker T. Wash

FANS ARE SURPRISED

McCools sudden departure was
a surprise to Toronto hockey fol-
lowers, not to mention the Red
Wings, against whom he scored
three straight shutouts in the
Stanley Cup playoffs.
The Toronto officials version
was that McCool went back on
his word" in demanding $500
more than he already had agreed
to accept. They would tolerate no
such tactics, the officials said.
But back in Calgary the former
sports writer told friends his re-
quest was not discussed at all,
that it appeared the Leaf bosses
had made up their minds and
seized on convenient pretext Ia
oust the player who won the
rookie of the year" award last
season.
