Loughran from the picture in just 27 seconds of the third session. Ending Is One of Most Amazing Ever Seen The crowd that paid approxi mately $300,000 for the evening's entertainment saw one of the most amazing endings of modern fistic battles aa Loughran, rendered helpless by a vicious left hook to the body and right that crashed full on his chin, took a count of five, rose to his feet, and stood dazed in a neutral corner as Ref eree Lou Magnolia counted him out. Seldom, in all his varied career of success and disappointment, has Sharkey appeared to better advantage. From the opening gong, Loughran, a slight favorite, was well nigh helpless before the vicious gob's power and confi dence. Even In the short span of their appearance Sailor John outboxed the former master of light heavy weights, outspteded him with sharp left Jabs, and handled am bitious Tommy with ease and in solence in the clinches. Fight Turns to Kout In Third Round AVith startling suddenness, the fast, careful milling of the first two rounds turned into a slaugh ter in the third. The echoes of the gon? still were echoing in the huge ball yard when Sharkey, as though finally loosed from a leash, drove across the ring, rammed his left to Loughran's body and be fore Tom could raise his guard smashed home a winging right to the chin. The blow caught the surprised Philadelphian a glanc ing crack on the chin and he top pled backward to the floor, his head resting across the lower rope in his own corner, his face lifted to the ring lights. Tommy didn't seem tobe great ly hurt for he looked about him, climbed to his feet at the count of five as 45,000 of the faithful rose with him in one mighty roar. Almost sedately the white skinned youngster, his face composed and eye3 open walked along the ropes to a neutral corner, one hand raised to his cheek. Audience Astonished As Lcnghran Turns Hack There, while the audience looked on amazed, the referee Jumped about excitedly and Shar key hopped gleefully across the ring, Loughran turned his back to his foe and gazed serenely out Into the audience, oblivious to his surroundings. Sharkey, like a mad animal released, almost climbed Tommy's back when Mag nolia released him and waved Loughran back to his corner. For several minutes Tommy sat In his chair, a half smile about his lips, as his handlers threw water upon him and sought to bring him back to consciousness. Finally he woke up, wrapped a towel about his face and left the ring, beaten for the first time in four years and knocked out for the first time in his career. ROTJXD ONE Carefully with the deepest re spect for each other, the big clean limbed fellows sparred In the cen ter of the ring. Sharkey growled, buried his head and smashed into Tommy's body with both hands. Loughran grunted a bit and locked up the Boston, gob care fully. Tommy bounced ove.r a left hook to the chin but Sharkey reached him with a long left hook as he dove forward again and bounced bis right full on Tom my's chin. To the surprise of all Sharkey made the fancy Lough ran miss with his neat left jab and they bounced together to swap at close quarters. This time Tommy had things under control and he tied up Sharkey as the bell rang. ROUND TWO Shaiify's wild lunge went amiss as Tommy speared with a left and pushed him Into the ropes. A bit peeved at such treat ment Sharkey dove In with a long light that missed by two feet and Loughran neatly booked his left to the chin. They fenced in the center trying to make each other lead until Tommy grimly accepted the challenge and rattled three lefts off Sharkey's scowling face. Sharkey drove the dancing mast er to the ropes with a left hook to the body, bounced his right full on Loughran's chin and banged home two lefts to the head. As they came away Tommy was box ing studiously at the bell, ROUND THREE Sharkey fenced and then flog ged Loughran, only a few seconds after the gong sounded Sharkey lifted a right band to Tommy's chin that dropped him in his own corner, his head over the ropes. Tommy came up at a count of five but walked dazed to a neutral corner, turned his back on Shar key and hung there helplessly. The referee held off Sharkey and awarded him the ficht on a tech nical knockout. The Oregon Statesman, animal bargain period Is on Renew your subscription now.

LADS MAKE HOT DISH Material to be Worked Over and Served Up GOOD TEAM POSSIBLE Ingredients forty assorted lads in assorted football togs, some big, some small, some experienc ed, some decidedly green, but all willing to work; one thoroughly experienced coach who knows practically nothing about the abil ity of any of his players; one hard schedule. Directions pound thoroughly, stirring in generous amounts of pepper, and serve on a gridiron for sixty minutes every Saturday. That's the recipe forthe dish which is to he placed before the students, alumni and friends of Salem higl school this season. Coach Hollla Huntington is well pleased with what he has seen of the material on hand. There are few lettermen and not very many reserves from last year's team, which isn't surprising in view of the fact that last, year's squad dwindled to less than 22 players before the season ended, and nearly half of those were seniors. There are enough hefty, active looking boys on the lot to con stitute a first string lineup and a few reserves. This group was augmented Thursday by the ap pearance of Sugat, hard hitting fullback on Parrish junior high eleven of last year. Bob Kelly, fullback of last year's Salem high team, will enter school today, bat may not be able to play, because of the foot infection which has been bothering him. Dave Dra ger and Ray Seguia were other new candidates who reported Thursday. So far, Coach Huntington has been giving his charges plenty of conditioning work but no rough stuff. Today he will issue shoul der pads and headgear and will schedule some work in tackling feud blocking. He has a notion this will solve the problem of 11m- nea equipment for players, as some suits may be vacant when practice is resumed next Monday. The first signal drill was held Thursday .afternoon, with two elevens cor. cent rating on one sim ple play. Others will be given the squad one at a time as rapidly as they can be mastered. - A new; development which will be greatly to the team's advantage la the discovery of Wallace Hag tg capable punter who la likely to fill jhe shoes d the departed defeated Tommy Loughran, below, third round of their scheduled 15 Blaco. Hug apparently has been practicing kicking all summer; at any rate, his spirals are carrying 45 yards with fair consistency. Following is a list, not quite complete, of the players turning cut to date: Charles Kelly, Henry Cross, George Drager, Fred Aumann, Howard Adams, Joe King, Fred Reidy, Jack McCullough, Roland Hardman, Carl Weisner, Wallace Hug, Leland Weisner, Lowell Wright.

Scott baseball game last Sunday left the situation in the fall inter, eity tournament practically in sta tus quo, with this decisive contest slated to be played off next Sun day. The only reported change since then has been the signing of Howard Maple, noted football and baseball star recently of O. 8. C, to play with the Senators. Possi bly the Mt. Scott management has done some strengthening on its own hook, and by Sunday the riv al teams may look like big league outfits. Mt. Scott was scarcely in need of any strengthening, as Harris, Its extremely Scotch pitcher, has won all of his starts against the Senators this season, and the local team's only hope of scoring many runs is for Harris to break his right arm. Oswego meanwhile has climbed Into such position that in case Mt. Scott wins Sunday, Oswego, Mt. Scott and Salem will be tied. In that case, a double header will be played here the following Sunday, the bye in the first game to be settled by drawing lots. The win. ner of the second game will be the tournament winner. T 15 MOST IflTFI By TED VOSBURGH Associated Press Sports Writer FOREST HILLS, N, Y.t Sept. 26 (AP) Great as he is, the fam ous little Czechoslavakian shot maker, Karel Kozeluh, had his troubles today at the hands of a comparatively obscure young Am erican tennis professional, Charles M. Wood of the Fairview country club, Elmsford, N. Y. Kozeluh won by scores of 6-0. 6-2, 7-5, reaching the semi-final round of the national pro cham pionship singles, but the match was harder fought than the fig ures indicate. About 300 persons witnessed the day s play. In the semi-finals tomorrow Kozeluh encounters the former amateur star, Howard KInsey of San Francisco, and Vin ney Richards, the defending champion, meets Paul Heston, pri. rate coach of young Jock McLean of Washington. Heston reached the semi-final round by feating John Cardegna, ATdsley, N. Y., at 6-3, 6-4, 6-2. Richards and KInsey, already In the penultimate round in singles, confined their efforts to doubles. Richards, paired with Kozelah, won from Heston and Wood at 6-2, 6-2, 6-1.

The article fails to state at that point whether women's golf la improving or deterior ating. Wonder if Howard Maple will forget what season it is and make a couple of touchdowns In Sun day's ball game? If he throws passes across to first base as ac curately as he threw them across New York university's goal line last fall, there'll be no scratch hits for the Mt. Scott boys in his ter ritory.

We can't remember all of them, but a first string lineup might look like this: Bican, center; Mc Kenzie and Hillis, guards; Ras mussen ftni Flock, tackles; Pope andv Reggie DePoe, ends; Charlie DePoe or Jungblom, Quar ter; Cloninger, fullback; and some of. the present halfbacks. The mortality of halfbacks isn't as great as that of men' in other po sitions. The present crop of Bearcate Is probably potentially as good as any of those men mentioned; perhaps better in some cases; but the point Is, Coach Keene would have those men, none of whom would have graduated hy this time, all well grounded In his system; he would have a lot more whom we didn't mention," and the present crop , for re serves; and If he liked, be could have the squad working a lot of complicated plays perfectly by this time of the season, Instead of a few simple ones imper fectly. We've been reading a lot aoout Pete Miller, the lad who was de termined to play tackle at O. S. C. if he could get matriculated before all his hairs were gray. He got married soon after leaving high school, so had to stay out and earn a living. Now he's on the varsity squad, with two children up in the grandstand rooting for him; and according to the news reports, he's 30 years old, but the athletic department lists his age at 2.8. His steadfastness of purpose is described as the epi tome of Oregon State spirit this year. What will you say of Wil lamette's gridiron spirit some day when four of those five married backfield men swing into action all at once? Gervais Grid Practice Gets OH to Start GERVAIS, Sept. 26. (Spe cial) Football practice was be gun thi3 week and Coach Carl Stewart has the schedule of games for the season started with two contracts signed.
