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. GAELSSCHEDULE

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.
The second qualifying test for
the army specialized training
program and the navy college
program V-12 which will be

urged to take the test At the
time of the test each candidate

preference, but taking the test
