Juniors have not been defeated this season and will meet the Seniors for the title on March 25. Seniors also have a clean slate and unless the Sophs provide an upset by defeating them on March 22, they will go into the title match on equal terms with the class of '30. Juniors proved faster and more ex- perienced in every department of the game with the Sophs yesterday, scoring handily with Elizabeth Beall ~doing stellar basket work. Elizabeth Cole stood out on the Sophomore squad with her keen defensive play which gives promise of developing into a formidable asset for the Junior line next year. Sophs were naturally under a heavy disadvantage as they have had only one season of court training while their opponents have had two.

Eighteen stitches were required to close the inch-deep gash in Heency's lip which Von Porat's right had opened in the final round. The wound sent blood cascading down dver Heeney's body, and the New Zealander, realiz- ing how desperate his plight must have appeared, told Referee Ed Purdy not to stop the fight, that he was all right. After the cut had closed, Heeney left the hospital. Heeney, upon whose body Gene Tunney wrote his farewell to pugilism last vear, was a badly whipped man when the Norwegian puncher got through his 10 rounds of work. Von Porat_took seven rounds, lost two and held Heeney even in the other. To the surprise of most of the 9,000 spectators he not only outslugged the New COLONEL | L\WDBERGH S DROP FrRomM THE HEIGHTS ~ OF POPULARITY 1S AMAZING ! Silver Sp. Ind. (23). o 2P, 18T M. Scanlos G.

Heeney looked the better in the opening two rouncs, but from that point on the Norwegian did the hurting. He used his left as a guarding rapier and shot. right upper cuts to vary the monotony. Despite the power of the Von Porat punches, Heeney kept coming in. By the sixth round Von Porat was pile- driving rights to the body, being un- able, however, to get full strength in them because Heeney continually was crowding in close. In the latter rounds Heeney was backing away, and at the final bell he was badly marked, and weak from the heavy pounding as well as from the loss of blood resulting from the gash in his lower lip. Von Porat finished virtually un- marked. It was his most satisfying showing since he began in a small way to become covetous of the world's heavyweight crown. His improvement as a boxer was the point his handlers regarded as most significant. His ability to punch has been heretofore his main reliance. The fight was worth $17.500 to Heency and approximately $12,000 to Von Porat, the former Olympic games champion PROFESSIONAL HOCKEY. Montreal Canadiens, 2; Toronto Ma- Pleleafs, 7.

NEW YORK, March 13.—There still | are eight games on the National Hockey | League schedule before the New York | Rangers and Pittsburgh Pirates bring | the regular season to a close here Sun- | day night, but few of them will mean anything. As the result of last night's three en- counters, only one change can take place in the standings of the leaders. De- troit’s Cougars, third in the American group, have a bare chance to tie the second place New York Rangers. To do this the Cougars must defeat the divi- sion leading Boston Bruins, while the Rangers lose to Chicago and Pitts- burgh. Boston broke all scoring records for the season against Chicago last night to clinch the top position, as the Bruins trounced the lowly Chicago Blackhawks, 11 to 1.
