'8-1 Underdog Outspeeds and r , Outboxes Ex-Champion Over 14,000 Watch Scrap By Jack Cuddy (United Press Correspondent) New York, Oct. 8. U.RWEx Champlon Beau Jack, victim of the roost discordant "tune-up" in ' modem ring history, gets his ' shot at the lightweight crown, November 19, despite last night's stunning upset defeat by lightly regarded Bobby Ruffin. Beau Jack, hard-hitting Geor gia negro, accepted New Yorker Ruffin as a tune-up opponent merely to sharpen his weapons for the return title tut wiin Lightweight Ci.amplon Bob Montgomery next month at Madison Sauare Garden. But a World-Series-eve crowd of 14.449 including Lana Turn' er and Frank Sinatra shook the Garden's girders with their cheers of surprise as Ruffin, the 8-1 underdog, gave brown 'skinned Beau a thorough box ing lesson to win the unanimous 10-round decision. There were no knockdowns In the bout; but several book makers were prostrated in the balcony. . Loser Alibis Beau Jack had three albls for his defeat; (1) he fought with a bandaged right knee injured In training; (2) he was over weight at 140 V pounds, the heaviest of hi career; (3) he was rusty from lack of competition, having had but one bout since Montgomery captured his crown last May. It is a matter of debate whether Jack's poor form or Ruffin's speed and boxing skill was principal cause of the up set It'a fact, however, that Ruffin shook off Jack's hardest punches, meanwhile persistently "ulntlnc" the bewildered ex- , champ with light Jabs and rights t ' and evading most of Jack's barn ' door swings. Ruffin forgot to : duck In the ninth and suffered i gashed left brow.: , The United Press scored five y . nunds for Ruffin; three for Jack, and two even. After announcing the gate $43,429, Promoter Mike Jacobs said the Montgomery-Beau Jack title fight must be held on November 19, "because contracts have been signed, and forfeits of $1,800 posted by each of the principals."

QUALIFYING TEST' TO BE GIVEN FOR y.NAVYV-12 Angelo Bertelli Of Irish May Become Greatest Passer By Tommy Oevine United, Press Staff Correspondent Chicago, Oct 9 (U.R) A wiry Italian lad, Angelo Bertelli of Notre Dame,- today began pushing illustrious grid greats like Benny Friedman, Sammy Baugh, Davey O'Brien and Paul Christman for recognition as one of modern college football's greatest forward passers. Bertelli's accurate aerial, thrusts paced Notre Dame to its smashing 65 to 13 victory last week over Georgia Tech and the 22-year-old marine trainee gets another spotlighted chance to unllmber his arm Saturday when the Irish meet Michigan at Ann Arbor in the mid-west's outstanding contest. Bertelli isn't a stranger to the ranks of excellent forward pass ers. He's been in that company since he made his collegiate debut but the 173 pound West Springfield, Mass., boy now ap pears headed for the greatest season of his career. It's a sea son which Bertelli doesn't know whether he'll be able to finish however for he s scheduled for a service transfer Nov. 1. Mean while he's making the most of bis opportunities. Bertelli, operating from the Intricate "I" formation, threw seven -passes against George Tech and completed six of them. Three of the tosses were good for touchdowns. A week earlier against Pitts burgh, Angelo completed three out of four passes, so for the young season he has a record of nine completions In 11 attempts for "pitching percentage" of .818. In his sophomore season Ber telli was among 1841's top pass ers when he completed 70 out of 123 tosses for a .089 average, Last year1 early season diffi culties with the "T" hampered his aerial effectiveness and he slumped to .448 on 74 comple tions in 165 attempts. Bartelli s up-to-the-minute col legiate passing record is 153 completions out of 299 tosses for a .511 average. That the Notre Dame star hasn't padded his mark by merely throwing short inch passes is indicated by the fact his aerials have netted an aggregate of z,Z03 yards, an average of 14.3 yards per com pletion.

BOWLING 5-YEAR-OLD BOY KILLS DEER WI KNIFE AND RIFLE If Jim Warner lives to be the proverbial hundred years old, he'll never be any more excited or thrilled than last Saturday, for, that dayl5-year-old Jim shot his first deer, a three-point buck. What's more, he killed it with 22 rifle, or rather, with the rifle and his pocket knife. Jim had longed for many months to go deer hunting, so Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Ekman, Kings Highway, with whom he makes his home, provided the youngster with a license and Friday night took him to Trail, where he stayed with his cousin, Charles Snead, 14. Saturday morning the two boys started out hiking up one of the moun tains near Trail. - Noon came and the bova eat down on a rock to eat their lunch. Hearing a noise, they both turned to see two small bucks coming from behind some rocks. Jim took a shot with his small rifle and one animal fell Charles shot the other in the leg; it fell and he shot again, killing the animal with the sec ond shot As Jim and Charles an- proached the animals, Jim's started to move and, fearful that had been only stunned and would get away, Jim fell on the aeer and slit its throat with his knife. Wild with excitement, the two boys returned home and brought back to the scene Mr. snead and equipment to carry the animals down the mountain. The deer were later brought to Lamport's sporting goods store here in Medford where it was strangely found that both deer weighed exactly the same, 119 pounos apiece. Jim yesterday started the nroo ess of mounting the deer head and tanning the hide. His father, no longer living, was a taxider mist by trade and the boy is ex perienced in the work. xestcrday Jim commanded me respectful attention of his fellow students at Junior high school, for he had a real storv to toll. ELECTRIC IRONS NEEDED AT USO An appeal for electric irons for the West Main Street USO was made today by staff mem bers who said that the irons were urgently needed. The cen ter has had two irons, which were in constant use. Both of these are now no longer usable, repairs cannot be obtained and the staff is forced to turn down scores of servicemen and their wives who customarily press and iron clothing in a room pro vided for that purpose. Anyone who has an unused iron which they will donate to the center is asked to call 3900. It was stated that while major repairs could not be undertaken, minor repairs of new cords could be provided. Several irons could be used if they were ob tained, staff members said. Most Paul Revere memora bilia is extremely rare, but Woodstock, Vt, boasts four churches with bells cast by the famed Revolutionary craftsman.
