MAKE CHANGES IN Jackie Basile of Bristol scored a knockout over Lou Poedwana of the Bronx team of New York last night in the third round of the feature bout at the weekly fight tournament of the Stanley A. C. held at the Stanley arena on Church street. Meeting a cagey boxer who seemed afraid of getting hurt, Basile in the second round finally got through his guard and started a pounding on face and body that must inevitably bring his opponent down. About the middle of the third round, Basile sent a hard right to Podwana's chin and another pile driving left to the pit of his stom- ach. Podwana dropped to the can- vas and although he didn’'t seem to| be badly hurt, Referee Willis saw | that he didn't intend to return to the wars and he awarded the bout to Basile. The best fight of the night ““sf the first bout on the card. Al Ta lor of Bristol and Frank Nichols, | two battlers who evidently had slight grudge in for one another, plastered cach other for the full length of three rounds.

Taylor made Nichols miss repeat- edly in the first two rounds and he | used an overhand right punch to connect time after time solidly to| Nichols' head. Both boys were tired | at the conclusion but neither was .n a bad way. They fought at 112 pounds. i Dominick Frisco, fighting at 122 pounds, met a longshoreman in Pete Kelly of the Bronx. Kelly in- jured his right hand in the first round and although coming out for | the second, was unable to go through with the third.

While their offense was slow and allowed the strong five-man defensa of the visitors to get set, the homo players werc in much better form than & week ago and held the lead from the start until the last few minutes, due to the brilhant shooting of Cap- tain “Red"” Compagnone gnd Jake Parparian. The visitors proved past masters in the.art of using the hip oand frequently spilled the lighter New Britain boys. A number of fouls were called for this sort of thing, but the local team fell down on its free tosses, putting in only two out of 12. With Goffa acting as pivot man on the foul-line, Compagnone and Parparian took passes to make it 4-0 as the contest opened, and “Red” dribbled through for another hasket. Anderson scored a poirt for the Aggles, and then Parparian end- ed the first-quarter scoring with a one-handed shot from the corner. A free toss by McCombe in the second session was followed by Compag- |rone’s third basket. Hyman and Murphy scored in rapid succession, Lut Parparian made it 12.6 with « long goal and the haif ended. McCombe flipped in two baskets in the first 30 seconds of the third period and Yuskevich made it 12-11 with a free toss. Grusha put New Britain two points ahead again and he teams battled fruitlessly for the rest of the period. McCombe made a point in the last period and fol- lowed Compagnone's shot from the de with another single-pointer. ompagnone and Hyman also put in awarded tosses and it was 16-14, New Britain. Joe Goffa was hurt at this point, being knocked down and having the wind knocked out of him, When play was resumed the Ag- cies practically jumped the whistle and fooled New Britain by a long pass the length of the floor, where Hyman tied things with a goal. The visitors went ahead for the first time when McCombe shot a pretty backet, but Kerelejza tied the score FOOTBALL RULES| of Recovery New York, Feb. 19 (UP)—Under runs for up such thing as long after scooping In the past, a ball which had been | frece and might be cked up and advanced by either Now a fumbled hall recov- will be The Roy Ricgels' famous wrong-way the California-George Tech ation announced yes- rday by the national football rules LT ruke will not apply in kward passes The new ocked kicks, which will be played Three other important changes 1.

His victory was & popular one. Walsh is a #outhpaw and Hayden found it dif- ficult to solve his atyle in the first round. He got by him in the second * and third, however, and Walsh ap- peared to be wobbly at times. Al Cromack of Unionville in the | 130 pound class, got a three round | decision over Tony Rocko of New York. Rocko pulled about every trick known to the ring and he ap- peared very much like a profession- al mitt thrower. He hit on the break, struck low at least six times during the fight, used the rabbit and kidney punch and ep general prin- | ciples alone, Cromack got the deci- sion. Cromack used a left uppercut to advantage a8 Rocko crouched on the offense.
