Who Turned Out the Lights Partially Minded by his own blood, Joe Rindone of Boxbury, Mass., is helped to his corner by referee Al Berle after the 162-ponnder was TKO'd by Pittsburgh's Lee Sala in the sixth round of a scheduled 10-round bout In New York. Ring Critic Thinks Philly Best Place for Title Fight By JACK CUDDY New York U. Tommy Loughran, one of the most se vere critics of current boxinf, surprised his listeners Wednes day by predicting: (1) The Jersey Joe Walcott Rocky Marciano heavyweight title fight at Philadelphia Sept. 23, will draw much more in the City of Brotherly Love than If It had been slated for New York or any other metropolis. (2) Marciano, "the most color ful fighter since Jack Dempsey," will win the championship from ancient Walcott and will inspire thousands of youngsters from coast to coast to become profes sional boxers. Loughran, ' former . world light heavyweight champion, said, "I can't understand why everyone s bemoaning' the fact that the big fight will be held in Philadelphia instead of New York. It's really a Phila delphia fight. After all, Wal cott conns from Camden, N.J. just across the river from Philadelphia and he has tremendous following in that part of Pennsylvania and in New Jersey. Also, anyone who would come from New Eng land to New York would add a bit of mileage and continue on to Philadelphia. And New York fans will go to Philadel phia if they figure they're go ing to see a knock-down-drag-out brawl." Could it be that the erect, brown-haired, 49-year-old ex warrior with the scar tattings about his brows and mouth fa vored Philadelphia because It was his home town until he moved to New York in 194S, long after his 1937 retirement? "No," said Tommy, "I favor nothing and nowhere in boxing today. I suspect much dishonesty in the sport. But I must give credit where it is due. I believe Philadelphia is the best site for the fight, and I believe Marciano will beat Walcott. "Yes, I've seen both fight several times. Marciano is the heaviest puncher and most colorful fighter since Demp sey. Yes, he's much more col orful and captivating than Joe Louis was. Louis tui a plod der, a stalker, a mechanical fighter with great handspeed. Be left little to the Imagina tion. He always wanted the opponent to lead. Marciano marches in throwing punches like Dempsey used to do. He gamb(es that he'll knock TIDE TABLE Corrected Itn TtM CMii r V. s. c.il a GMSttia ' Slrrer. PartlftDd.

Loughran, now a successful sugar broker in Wall Street, is generally considered one of the smartest boxers that ever tossed leather, although he was not a great puncher. He had 227 pro fessional bouts from 1919 to 1937. He won the light heavy crown from Mike McTigue in 1927 and gave up the title in 1929 to campaign as a heavy weight. He challenged huge Prlmo Camera for the heavyweight crown at Miami, Fla March 1, 1934. But he lost the decision after "Satchel Foot" Primo had spent most of the 15 rounds stepping on Tommy's erstwhile speedy toes. "It will be a great thing for boxing if hell-for-leather Mar ciano beats 38-year-old Wal cott," he said. Tommy concluded, "And he will."

Ex-Notre Dame Coach Says Irish Are Still Building New York 0J.PJ Hughie De vore, who served a one-year hitch as Notre Dame football coach during the last war, Ig nored the Irish Wednesday in a pre-season forecast and pick ed Michigan State as the major power of 1952. According to the apft-spoken husky Irishman, who is now head coach at New York Uni versity, it may take another year or two before Notre Dame again regains the national cham pionship. "I don't think Notre Dame will be as strong this year as a lot of people think," said De vore, who was a star end under Knute Bockne at the South Bend institution during the early '30's. "They"re still rebuilding out there," he added, "and it all depends if those kids come through. I know Frank Leahy used mostly sophomores last year, but they still may be a little green." Fearful that as an ex-Irish player and coach he might be charged with heresy, Devore hastened to add the men of Leahy "will give a good account of themselves" this season de spite their inexperience "be cause they're one of the best- coached teams in the country." Along with Michigan State in the midwest, Devote likes Princeton in the east, Maryland in the south, Texas in the south west and Southern California in the west. "I don't think there is any question that Princeton will be as strong as ever this tea son," Devore pointed out, "al though Columbia could be the east's dark horse. And there are three teams on our sched ule at NYU-Boston university, Holy Cross and Fordham, that should rank as contenders in the east." Like Leahy at Notre Dame, Devore, too, is in the midst of a rebuilding program During his two-year tenure as Violet coach, large Hughie has joined his players in only two victory celebrations, and he still isn't certain what the forthcoming season holds In store for him and his players. "We'll be playing on of our toughest schedules in years, Devore explained, "and I'm not sure my boys will be quite up to it Our main problem is depth. We have approximately 18 let- termen back, but we look weak at several positions, especially at quarterback. And thats where our opponents ar strong. Or. T T. Lam. ft D Dr. o.
