THE ARCHIE MOORE ‘-— Yvon Durelle championship fig-ht last Wednesday is still making interesting copy and folks are scanning the wort pages to see what they can find. '

It was one of the most dramatic rung affairs ever staged and promoters of a rematch won’t need too much publicity to build it up. Dwelle’s sensational showing amazed the boxing world and the champion of that world, the venerable MT.’ Moore. Archie is the first fellow to admit that he got the surprise of his ‘young’ lilte. He goes'tart-her and says “I was never hit harder than that fir st

MOORE IS JUST itching for a return bout next summertn Mlon- treal’s ball park and he has issued solid advice to the Canadian about engaging in any tights until that time. Archie doesn’t want Yvon fooling around with second raters who might slip in a lucky punch and ruin Durelle’s box office appeal. Old Archie thinks that he and Yvon can make a heap of money next summer ,and he doesn’t want any toolishness to spoil that show.

Beside his abilities as a boxer, Moore is a shrewd business man and he wants Durelle to act the same way. We don’t think there’s any chance of Yvon doing anything to spoil another show. He and his handlers must realize they have a big thing and they’re not likely to go throwing it away.

HOW CLOSE DURELLE came to grabbing the championship of the world can best be reclined by the words of referee Jack Shar- lney. Jack puts it this way: “I don’t know yet how Moore got up and went on fighting after the ﬁrst knockdown. Moore was as close to being out alter the first knockdown as any fighter ever will be. When he was dropped the first time it was by a clean right hand smash. The hopes were very tight, Moore leaned back, expec- ting there would be enough give, it the ropes had been loose, to slip the right hand punch thrown by Durelle. But the ropes held solid, and Durelle nailed him right on the chin. It was a real knockout punch and Archie just collapsed.”

THE FORMER HEAVYWEIGHT champion of the world wasn’t through yet. He was in a talkative mood and he continued. “There was such an uproar from the startled crowd, that I had to lean down close over Archie to make the count, at the same time sig- nalling each count with my fingers. I don’t believe he saw my fin— gers. For I looked in his face, and his eyes were absolutely glazed. I never thought he would get up. But a champion’s instinct saved him. At seven, he blinked, and at eight, he was struggling up. That first punch hurt him worse than either of the other two.

EVER SINCE the fight, folks have been second guessing. The majorityof people are convinced that the brain trust in Moore’s corner outfoxed the gentlemen handling Durelle. We are among those who firmly believe that Durelle’s second round strategy was anything but: brilliant.

Chris Shaban, Yvon's manager. apparently sees now that his fighter didn’t get the proper instructions in that second round. After crashing Moore to the canvas three times in the first round, everyone expected that the Maritime fisherman would try desper- ately to halt the old man in the second. Bu that was not the stra- tegy. Yvon boxed carefully, so carefully in fact, that Yvon wasn’t close to sending him to the floor.

SHABAN lSN’T trying to get out from under. He’s willing and ready to take the entire blame. Here’s the way Chris puts it: “That Durelle fought the way he did was my fault. and no one else’s. Perhaps I was wrong. A lot of people have told me since that the strategy was bad. But I figured it this way: Yvon had put every- thing into a tremendous first round, in which we planned to take Moore by surprise, and I guess we did. I imagine Moore was figur- ing, like most others. that Durelle would start carefully, and try to wear him down through superior durability.”

SHABAN WAS a mighty disappointed fellow despite the fact that his boy was picking up $25,666 for the night’s work. Chris thought he was doing the right thing by holding his fighter in check in the sec- ond but it didn’t work out that way. But he wanted to take all the blame himself and not have Yvon accused of not using his head.

Shaban continued “So Yvon fought that way, and Moore took the round. But Yvon was fresh again after the second, went after Moore, and floored him again in the fifth. But he put a lot of energy into that round too. After that he tensed up and never could hit stride again.”

OF COURSE everybody was interested in how Archie felt after coming back from the very brink of defeat. The ageless Moore, al— ways good for a wise crack described the first round in this way:

Canada’s national sport has main- tained a high calibre of play in the Bedeque area over the years. Taking the face off in the opening game between the Freetown Roy- als and Lot 16 Rangers are Les Roberts, Royals (left) and Elmer Gorrill. Lot 16 won the match 10 to 5.

He was one of the writers who helped build the Kentucky Derby into the classic it is through his columns. ‘

He covered his first Derby in 1924. When Col. Winn died afte‘ serving as Churchill Downs pres idcnt for 47 years, Corum was everyone’s choice as his succes- sor.

He was a longtime friend of Ben A. Jones, the Calumet Farm trainer who saddled a record six Derby winners.

Corum was the ﬁrst sports writer to call the Derby the “Run for the Roses."

The Navy squad started the game with Tinsley between the pipes instead of regular Frankie Roper, but Roper took over going into the second period. The 'l‘ars drew first blood at the 2:03 mark of the first period, but the Juniors bounced back with a six—goal splurge in the next six minutes to put them in front 6-1.

The second period saw the Juniors increase their total to 12, while the Tars were only able to score once. this being on a solo effort by Merrill Lon- gaphie shortly past the halfway mark of the frame to make the score read 8-3. The Juniors went on to score four more in the final half of the frame MacMillan snared a brace, and singletons were scored by Burke and Murray. )

Roper and Ward, the conten- ding goalies, stopped all the rub- ber coming their way in the third period and the game end- ed with the final score reading 12-3. '
