Undefeated Marciano KO's
Walcott in 13th of Slugfest
New Champ Comes From Behind To Win
Heavyweight Title Before Excited Crowd

PHILADELPHIA- (P) -Young
Rocky Marciano knocked out old
Jersey Joe Walcott with a spec-
tacular right hand shot to the jaw
in 43 seconds of the 13th round
last night to win the heavyweight
championship in a bloody brawl.
The unbeaten Brockton, Mass.,
blockbuster got off the deck from
the first knockdown of his 43-bout
career in the first round to touch
off a wild ringside scene.
MARCIANO supporters vaulted
the working press section todcrush
into the ring in a frantic demon-
stration for the first fighter ever
to win the heavyweight title with
a perfect record.
At least 150-wild-eyed Mar-
ciano fans resisted attempts of
the police to clear the ring for
several minutes after the sav-
age bout ended.
Just whenditseemed that the
title dreams of the 28-year-old kid
from the shoe mills was due to
disappear before the boxing skill
University golf course and
club house will not be open on
home football dates.
rm o--Harry Kaseberg
and sturdy heart of the 38-year-
old champion, he let loose his
right hand bomb that changed
night to day.
The Rock's blockbuster right
crumpled Walcott with stunning
suddenness. Jersey Joe's eyes went
blank as he sunk slowly to the
canvas from the delayed action
effect of the punch.
IT SEEMED Walcott couldn't
miss his swarthy short-armed tar-

get with the Jarring left hook that
won the championship from Ez-
zard Charles in July of 1951.
The hook almost ended mat-
ters in the very first round of
this most exciting heavyweight
title battle since the younger
days of Louis.
When Walcott's left thudded on
the Rock's chin in the first he
sunki for a four count, the first
time he ever had been knocked off
his feet.
THE HUGE crowd, estimated
at over 50,000, rose, expecting a
quick ending. But it sunk back
when Marciano came up swinging
only to run into another hook
that wobbled him at the bell.
Any doubt about Marciano's
ability to take it was removed
by this exhibition. OldJersey
Joe, often trading punches free-
ly with his challenger, gave his
all in a dramatic bid to save the
crown.
When he resorted to boxing in
the eighth, ninth and 10th, he
made Marciano look like a novice
Who winged wild punches that cut
only the cool Municipal Stadium
air.
Sox Defeat Tribe .
CLEVELAND (P) -- The Cleve-
land Indians dropped a 10-1 con-
test to the Chicago White Sox yes-
terday to drop to a game and a
half behind the idle Yankees.
New York has six games remain-
ing to play while the Indians have
three left, two with Detroit and
one with Chicago this afternoon.

BROOKLYN-(A)-The Brook-
lyn Dodgers clinched their first
National League pennant since
1949 last night as they struck from
behind to defeat the Philadelphia
Phillies, 5-4, in the first game of
a twi-night twin bill.
The victory stretched Brooklyn's
lead over the second place New
York Giants to 6% games. The
Giants have only six games to
play.
THE HONOR of clinching
Brooklyn's ninth National League
pennant since 1890 went to rookie
righthander Johnny Rutherford.
The triumph was the 26-year-old
hurler's seventh of the season com-

Wolverines Work
On Aerial Attack
The Michigan football squad
whipped through a brisk two hour
drill yesterday as Coach Bennie;
Oosterbaan and his aides intensi-
fied preparations for Saturday's
opener with Michigan State.
A high level of spirit and a low
level of performance featured the
practice, which was mostly con-
cerned with aerial work.
PASSERS TED Topor, Duncan
McDonald and Don ZanFagna
were on the throwing end with a
host of flankers in receiving roles.
Although there were fewer comple-
tions than the coaches would have
liked, the squad's excellent dis-
play of enthusiasm was hearten-
ing to the staff.
Perhaps the most welcome
news of the day was the return
of All-America candidate Low-
ell Perry to the lineup. A stub-
born leg injury has hampered
the Ypsilanti star since the
opening day of the drills.
The varsity showed a stout de-
fense which easily contained the
offense presented by a squad of
reserves. Big Gene Knutson of
Beliot, Wisconsin, winner of the
Meyer Morton trophy as the most
improved player of the Spring'
practice, appeared in top form at
defensive right end, Linebacker
Roger Zatkoff is still favoring a
pulled leg muscle, but is expected
to be in good condition for Satur-
day's intra-state blood-letting.
Detroit Lions Cut
Hank Lauricella
DETROIT- (A) -The Detroit
Lions, preparing to open their Na-
tional Football League season Sun-
day, cut halfback Hank Lauri-
cella, All-America player from
Tennessee, end Sherwin Gandee
of Ohio State and center Carroll
McDonald of Florida from their
squad Tuesday,
That brought Coach Buddy Par-
ker's roster down to 35, two over
the limit for the opener with the
San Francisco 49ers.

Spartans Tighten
Defensive Game
EAST LANSING, (A)-Michigan
State's football defense is getting
a final testing this week prior to
the Michigan game.
Coaches were a little concerned
because touchdowns came too easy
in the last full-dress scrimmage.
* * *
MOVIES of the scrimmage have
been studied and the defense has
been under the microscope.
As one way of locating weak-
nesses, a skeleton defense was
sent against a complete offensive
team. One or two guards, tackles
or ends would be pulled out ev-
ery few plays and the under-
manned defense was still expect-
ed to stand its ground.
The pass defense also has been
getting a final polish.

Ted Topor andwthe pass-snatching
ability of end Lowell Perry as one
of Michigan's most powerful of-
fensive weapons.
ONLY TWO more practice ses-
sions were scheduled on home
grounds for the Spartans.
Latest plans call for Michigan
State to leave East Lansing some
time Friday noon and to work
out in Michigan Stadium Fri-
day afternoon.
This will give newcomers to the
squad a chance to get the feel of
the turf at Ann Arbor.
It also will take some of the
edge off the stage-shyness that
might be felt by team members
entering the huge near-100,000
fan capacity stadium for the first
time.
The squad will stay overnight
at Jackson and return to Ann Ar-
bor Saturday morning.

pared to the same aumber of set-
backs
He was in trouble in the early
innings but weathered the storm
as the Brooklyn bats boomed
and sent the Dodgers ahead in
the fifth. Duke Snider's two-
run double climaxed the Dodg-
ers game winning three-run
fifth inning rally.
The Dodgers nicked Karl Dreis,
who had beaten them, four times
this season, for a run in the first.
Rutherford protected that slen-
der margin until the third when
Gran Hamner accounted for all of
Philadelphia's runs with a grand
slam homer.
FIRST BASEMAN Gil Hodges
singled to ignite the Dodgers' pen-
nant clinching rally in the fifth.
Rutherford sacrificed and the
pitcher was safe on Ed Waitkus'
error at first. Pee Wee Reese sing-
led Rutherford home and Snider
followed with his $100,000 two-run
double to right.
Rutherford blanked the Phils on
three hits after Hamner's homer.
The Phils threatened in the eighth,
placing runners on first and sec-
ond with one out but Waitkus
grounded into a double play to
end the threat.
The Phils captured the anti-
climatic second game, 1-0, in 12
innings before 23,408.
Athletics Win;
ShantzInjured
PHILADELPHIA - (P) - T h e
Philadelphia Athletics tightened
their grip on fourth place in the
American League standings yes-
terday with a 4-3 win over the
Washington Senators, but lost the
services of their 24-game winner,
little Bobby Shantz for the re-
mainder of the season.
Shantz, well on his way to his
25th victory with the A's leading
3-0 in the secondhinning, was
clipped on the pitching wrist by
one of Walt Masterson's pitches.
X-rays showed the wrist to be
broken.

The independent- division of
the Intramural Sports Department
is beginning to grind its 'gears as
the 1952-53 season's opening date
approaches.
Bob Betzig, czar of the inde-
pendents, is mapping out a
large-scale program and has
sent out a call for parties in-
terested in participating in his
league to turn their rosters into
him by Tuesday, September 30.
As is the case every season,
touch football is the first sport
on the calendar, with opening day

undergraduates can
this league.

In 1951-52, the Newman Club,
managed by Wolverine foot-
baller Don Peterson, captured
first place easing in 73 points
ahead of the second place For-
esters with a 1077 total. The Ha-
waiians trailed in third, only one
point shy of the Foresters 1004
score.
In order to have the program irl
full swing by opening day Betzig
would like to have all interested
managers and participants line
their teams up as soon as possible
and contact him at the I-M Build-
ing.
