i A A a RH SE -- LATEST LooaL LUIS FIRPO'S CAREER ENDED BY WEINERT Wild Bull Badly Beaten In Twelve Rounds by Newark Adonis. (By J. A. W.) Left jabs and right crosses de- Hvered with telling effect to the face . and body, put Luis Firpo, Argentin- fan heavyweight, out of the running as a challenger for Dempsey's crown. When Charlie Weinert, the Newark Adonis, outboxed and out-smarted the Wild Bull last week, he rudely upset Tex Rickard"s plans to build 'Firpo up for a return match with Dempsey, and surprised the South American's aimirers, who expected that it would be fresh fruit, soft- boiled eggs and pretty flowers for the New Jersey battler. Right from the first bell Firpo seemed eligible for the loser's end of the purse. Weinert wanged him with swings, jabs and uppercuts, and when the Wild Bull got rough he took refuge in a clinch. Not that the Néwark Adonis had a soft time all the way. Occasionally Luis planted a few punches himself, and once or twice he staggered the Newarker to his toenails, so that he had to use every tiniest atom of his cleverness to save himself from a trip to dope- land. Nevertheless, the right that sent Dempsey flying out of the ring last year was never once in evidence, and the pride of Brainless Aires was himself cut up pretty badly at the finish of the affair. As for Weinert, he showed him- self to be what boxing scribes had always classed him as--a fairly clever boxer and a good, if not bril- liant, ring general. Hel used a good straight left and mixed this up with right crosses and hooks. But he is pot, nor never will be, a topnotcher, His policy of hitting hard, hitting straight and hitting often, while successful against a crude fighter of the Pirpo type, would not show up to advantage against a real boxer. A polished man like Tom Gibbons would make a fool out of him, Firpo%s showing, while it was a bitter disappointment to his numer- ous admirers who were confident the big fellow would win by the dreamland route in a round or two, ------ -------------- ---- o_O LR my O14 Pai my a © ism best © lewtthe EP" French ex- ert made | players appear to be built around | Mike's. fit, who still have a chance, was not entirely unexpected by keen followers of the ring, who realized that the Sheik of the Andes had gone own considerably in the last year, and would likely show himself up as the big ham that he is. This Firpo was obliging enough to do, for he plainly demonstrated to the fans at the ringside that he is nothing more than the rankest kind of a third- rater, who jumped into prominence last year by the sole ald of a power- ful right hand and a manager who ted him on set-ups. It will be re- membered that Luis gained his repu- tation by upsetting forty-three-year- old Jess Willard, who had been four years out of the ring, and poor old Bill Brennan, the stepping-stone for so many championship aspirants. However, Firpo's crudities were clearly - shown up on Wednesday night, and we hope that he will poc- ket his fat roll"of American green- backs and set sail for his dear Ar- gentina, as the fans in this country are certainly well tired of him, i RUGBY NOTES. Intercollegiate Union are working on a rule that will keep colleges from enticing away each other's players. However, nothing is men- tioned that will keep Queen's from collecting a fair team for next year. --Telegram, Well, why should there be? Judging from the manner In which Varsity played McGill on Sat- urday, they were evidently under the impression that the rugby sea- son closed when they lost the cham- pionship to Queen's.--Toronto Tele- gram. Varsity without Snyder are a good deal like Argos without Joe Breen. He's the pivot of the team. All the him. Shag himself picks Snyder as the greatest half playing the game. | Yet McGill. hollers herself hoarse over a defeat of Varsity with the greatest half of all looking on from the side lines. Shag and his merry men are much more easily enthused than they were a year or two ago.-- Toronto Telegram. And this admission comes from the same bird who has been calling Queen's a two-man team all year. Two seem to be better than ome in most cases. Carl Voss, with his threat of fu- ture years, gave those Toronto peo- ple something to worry about when they saw him in action against St. Voss has both the head and the feet--and that head part has been just the difference between Queen's backfield players and their opposition during the past three years. Well, if Tigers win we have Veale, Evans, Quinn and "Liz" Walker to remember while if Queen's win Ham- fiton can smile on Leadley and Wright. That's all fair enough. It will be interesting if Queen's intermediates should run up against Chick Mundell's Canadian Nationals in the C.R.U. geries--or perhaps Dave Harding's Camp Borden out- The Tricolor seconds have halves who can kick, run or plunge. Voss is the ideal rugby player. He seems to be just where he is needed at the right time. : TIGERS AT IT, Hard Work For All During Present Week. After a week of light workouts, Tigers got down to hard practice, In preparation for their game with Queen's at University of Toronto Stadium on Saturday, and workouts will be held all week. Coach Awrey would not announce his line-up for the big struggle, and does not expect to be able to do so until late in the week, for the reason that the chances of Cecil Main and George Tuck get- ting into action will not be known until they have had a practice, "Texas" Boyett, who has been fill- ing Tuck's place, was added to the hospital list. The big fellow was in- jured while at work at the Firestone plant and he has been numbered among the doubtful starters. If he is unable to toe the scratch Baker or McBride will be pressed into service, Tigers will be drilled chiefly this] week in stopping extended runs.

The movement is gaining such strength that it is anticipated that definite action will be taken by the rugby experts to make the game less dangerous for growing boys whose bones have not set like those of their elders, and who are more likely to suffer more serious injury. MoGILL MOVEMENT : FOR RULES OHANGE. The Montreal Gazette says: Ac- cording to McGill rugby authorities advances will be made to have the offensive and defensive in the game balanced. Results this season in all the Intercollegiate games have clear- ly shown the defensive far too strong for the offensive, with the result that sustained attacks have been very few and what scoring has been done, with the exception of field goals, and kicks for rouges, has been directly or indirectly the result of fumbles, penalties on the defending side, It has been apparent all season, especially as far as McGill and Queen's are concerned, that little at- tempt was made at steady offensive work. Short, quick thrusts for what- ever gains they would bring and then punts to opposing territory were the orders under which the quarters worked. While no definite conferences have been held to finally formulate the suggestions that will be taken to the annual meeting of the Intercollegiate rules committee by the McGill repre- sentatives, yet it is well-known that there are several points that will be stressed by the red and white dele- gates. The chief one is that pertaining to the lack of balance between of- tensive and defensive. They point der the present rules cam generally block any offensive plays. To coun- teract this they will likely favor the adoption of either a rule allowing interference for five yards in advance of the line of scrimmages or as an alternative the adoption of the for- ward pass, INTER-CITY HOCKEY.
