LITTLE CHANCE FOR THAT NEW YORK an. 21.-Tha proposed | bout Fetween Willard and Frank Moran 1s of unusual interest in that it brings to bear upon the heavyweight title several angles which arc unusual in Fing contests where this title has been involved. Under the laws of the state of New York the boxers will meet in what is termed a | ten-round sparring exhibition without de- cision, ‘and If both men are on their feet at the expiration of thirty minutes of boxing future ring records will carry the bout as & no-decision contes | Consequiently the only way In which the heavywelght champlonship could pass from Willard, the holder, to Moran, would be for the latter to knock out his op Ponent or win on a foul so deliberate tha there eould be no question as to its in- | tent. It can be seen, therefore, that | the chief interest In the contest hinges on the probability of either Willard or Moran knocking out his opponent and thus demonstrating decisive supremacy Since the days when heavywelghta firs donned gloves and fought under Queens- bury rules the ring that knockouts in bouts i which champl ns have participated have averaged we | over ten rounds, notwithstanding that the list Inclides & powerful hitters as Jef fries, Fitssimmons, Sharkey, Johnson and Suilivan. Going back to the year, 1502, when Corbett won from Sullivan in twenty-one rounds, the tables show that | records show seven heavywelght title holders fought A “ere.

The visitors clearly out- played the locals and demonstrated their | superiority in every stage of the contest. Only once did Omaha have a show-in and that was at the end of the first period when baskets by Adams and McBride brought the totals for the first period | almost to a par, the half ending 12 to 8. | On the rostart the Christians rapldly in- | creased trelr lead, at the same time play- | ing such a close guarding game as to | keep the locals from registering once. | At times the Omaha flippers showed flashes of form, but were always brought up with a jerk when on the point of | scoring. The large total tallled by the visitors was more through sensational pegging of individual flippers than gen- eral team work. Time and again a Cotner player would make a wild heave that plunked through the center of the hoop. Of the clght scores garnered by the University of Omaha five, Captain Adams wan responsible for six. Out of five free throwa, Adams found the basket four times. The plucky playing of Leach at forward and McBride at guard also fea- tured for the loeal varsity lads, For Cotner, Parmenter and Gardener vlayed in'w ‘sensational manner. Par- menter hung up a feat that is without paraliel on the college court. Out of thir- teen free throws, the lanky guard made twelve perfect shots. ] The contest was one of the roughest of the season, a total of eighteen fouls be- Ing committed. Most of the indiscretions were personal! fouls, the game at times taking on the aspect of a foot ball eon- test. Lineup: | COTNER. Lea RFE LF. wone Britt Bwnst LFEIRF. Darner Adams C.|C. .
