SHEA FAVORED
in BOUT WITH
FRANCIS TONIGHT
BY DIXON STEWART
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Feb. 20. tU.P) -
Broadway betters are convinced it
would require more than a gang OF
gunmen to make Eddie Shea
dive after on unfortunate ex-
perience along those lines, and have
established the Chicagoan as an
eight to five favorite to defeat Kid
Francis of Italy in the future bout
at Madison Square Garden tonight
The bout marks Shea IS return to
New York after a siX-year exile and
brings together the leading con-
tender for Champion Bat Batta-
iino's featherweight title. Both
Francis and Shea boast decisions
over Fidel La Barba, erstwhile "un-
crowned champion and Shea also
holds a victory over Battalino in an
overweight bout at Chicago last
month.
Shea IS last previous appearance in
New York was in 1925 when he Was
counted out in the fourth round OF
a bout with Charley GPhiD Rosen-
berg, who held the title at that
time. The fact that Shea s
Knockout occurred in the round
named by "wise money" gamblers
resulted in life suspension for the
Chicagoan.
Later it became known that 4
dressing room call from a group OF
Gunmen. and the threat that failure
to "dive' would mean death, had
influenced Shea, then a 19-year- old
youth. These facts and Shea S ex-
cellent record since the Rosenberg
bout brought him a pardon from
the New York commission and tile
Chicagoan now appears destined to
become world champion of his class
Shea, hardest puncher and most
rugged of present day midgets, has
scored 70 knockouts in 100 bouts
during the past six years and never
has been stopped except in the ques-
tionable bout with Rosenberg. He
is the only featherweight who has
been ranked among the "first 10
for seven consecutive years.

Anyone wanting to risk good hard
money that Notre Dame falls short
of the national football champion
ship next fall can probably find lots
of takers in California.
Several hundred thousand of them
have been assured, in Knute K

the Ramblers will repeat His words
were these.
I'VE will not have a champion
ship team next year; only a fair
outfit. We re losing lots OF men.
The line, l think, will be fairly
strong, but m afraid for the back

To good Californians. these words,
translated from the original Rock
ncana, mean this:
"Notre Dame will again win the
national championship
Californians last fall made the
mistake of believing thai.
Good Californians began noddng
heir heads dizZily in agreement.
Then Rocllnc arrived in Los Ar

be terrible, he admitted.
