Jim Londos, worlds heavyweight wrestling champion, is slated to risk his title in d finish match at the New Haven arena tonight against Sandor Szabo, the Hun garian champion. The supporting finish match brings together Leo PinetZki, the man monster, and Alex Arberg, the latest German sensation, while in the 30-minute special attraction, Fritz Kley, Ger man contortionist, is billed to grapple with Matros Kirilenko, foremost Russian challenger. In the time limit preliminaries Match maker Downing presents an espe- cially attractive program. In one, John Maxos, Londos' understudy, meets the Italian favorite, Renato Gardini, and in the other Vanka ZeleZniak, the Russian clown, will tussle with Cowboy Jack Lewis, of Oklahoma.
 State and local fans have shown a great interest in the Londos- SZabo match, especially in view of the fact that the champion has not appeared in these parts for quite some time and the results of his recent matches indicate that he is under considerable strain wrest- ling as frequently as he does in defending his title.. The Hungarian Adonis has added some weight and 1t is said that he strikes the beam at higher mark than Londos. The Greek Hercules is still con sidered man of might and science, and it will be far from an easy task to min the chamD

might show his punch and color to New York, James dismissed the suggestion with shrug.
 "He wouldn't draw dime" said the old Boy Bandit of Broad way. And when the old B. E. of B. says that you can almost bet he's right. Anyway, Johnston's opinion seems to have been sub stantiated by the gate in Milwau- kee the night Gorilla won the N. B. A. recognition. Only $500 turned out for the match, which was the final of an elimination series.
 A flock of lads, likely and un- likely looking, some on the way up, but most of them on the way down, describes the featherweight situation. Kid Chocolate and Earl Mastro probably rank at the top of the list. Then there are Fidel La Barba, Tommy Paul, Lew Feld- man, Freddie Miller, Mel Tarle- ton, Kid Francis, Johnny Pena and Eddie Shea. Except for Choc- olate and Mastro, one of these is about as good, and about as bad, as the others.
 Maxie No Student
 OmC1ally the nRnt neaVyWelSnL and bantamweight seats of honor are supposed to be occupied. But Maxie Rosenbloom, the ranking light -heavy is not a young man you could call standout. Dis- tinctly he Is no Loughran though he is about the best of a bad lot.
 The N. B. A. has been con- ducting a tournament in Chicago in the effort to get this throne rented out to somebody--and some of the names, no to mention he antics, of he aspirants in this affair would surprise you.
 Al Brown still is supposed to be the bantamweight champ. But every time he turns a corner these days, some unknown bantam takes d fall out of him.
 A few McGoverns, Kilbanes. Dundees, Berlenbachs Grebs, Ket- chels and Wildes would help to simplify matters-but there aren't any more of those fellows around.

London, Feb 4-(UP)-Jack London, a negro jazz pianist, Is training hard for the Los An- gcles Olympic games in August.
 Jack is 6 sprinter. He discov- cred that when another man missed n train. In 1925, he was representing London University against Bedfordshire in the high jump. His teams crack sprintcr missed the train, so Jack substituted and astonished everyone by winning the 100 yards in ten seconds on grass.
 After that he concentrated on running. He was runncr-up in the Olympic 1OO-mcters at Am- sterdam in 1928, and was Eng lands 1OO-yard champion in 1929.
 Leading his own jazz band, London now is appearing as pianist in the cabaret scene of Noel Coward's "Cavalcade" at Drury Lane theater.

These games will serve as a pre-. Jude to the summer games at LoA Angeles in July, marking the first time this country has played host to any sort of Olympic competition since the St Louis gathering in 1904.
 Perfect Weather
 Mother nature, treacherous as a siren these last few months, offer ing sunshine and rain instead of the expected snow and ice, appar- ently has repented, for the open ing day of the games broke clear and bitter cold.
 Promptly at 10:30 o'clock the athletes, grouped alphabetically 6 nations and with the seventeen delegation heads bearing the flags of their nations, were to march onto the ice of the stadium and the reviewing stand, to the strains of anthems of their countries.
 Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt was to declare the games formally opened. Plans from then on were for cannons to roar their salute down the snow blanketed valleys, bugles to sound their sharp cali and then as the five circled Olym- pic flag was slowly raised to the top of the stadium masthead, Gov ernor Roosevelt was to administer the Olympic oath.
 To the Colors
 The oath was to be taken by Jack Shea, American speed king star. As Shea repeated the oath calling for "sportsmanship for the honor of our country and for the glory of sport" the 354 competi- tors, clad in their multi-colored sarb, were to stand with right hands raised.
 Following 8 five minute inter- Eiission, Frank Stack of Canada; Yasuo Kawamura and DhoZo Ishi- wara of Japan: Erling Lindboe of Norway and Jack Shea of the United States were to swirl around the elliptical rink in the first heat of the 500-meter speed race, open- ing event of the games. Then the highly favored Canadian hockey team was to take the ice against the American six.
 The same sort of program was planned in the afternoon, with speed races at 5000 meters and Poland and Germany playing hockey. These four events, with two curling demonstrations, com- plete the opening days schedule.
 Wcll-BaIanced
 Norway is certain to start the games heavy favorites to win the championship. The Norwegians won the championship at Chamoix in 1924 and again at St Moritz in 1928 for the 1892 games they have a beautifully balanced squad, stud- ded with standout performers. Some of these standout workers are the ski-jumping brothers, Bir- ger and Sigmund Ruud, Sonia Henie, women's figure skating champion; Bernt Evensen in the 500-meter speed races; Ivar Ball. langrud at 5000 meters.
 Of the eleven champions on hand to defend their laurels three are Americans, Irving Jaffee, the 10000 meter speed skate racer. and Billy Fiske and Jack Heaton, members of the winning bobsled team at St Moritz.

At the Community House the Sacred Hearts outscored St Thomas, 12 to 6 while St Joseph's defeated St Francis at St Joe's hall, 15 to 9. In the other tilt, Sts Peter and Paul easily vanquished St Mar garet's, 37 to 4.

TUCKEY STARS IN
 4O-22 ROUT OF
 CROSBY HOOTERS
Aggressiveness Plus Small Floor Makes Naugatuck Easy Winner Over Tra- ditiOnal Rival
By JOHN A. CLUNEY


 They beat us under the back boards" There you have Coach Billy Schofield's morning g-after ex- plantation of the 40-22 rout hand
 ed Crosby last night in Naugatuck
 by a well-oiled and confident train engineered by the one and only
 Pete Foley. The quotation above just about describes the situation l in very few words, aside from the addition that the Naugy lads, in their characteristic manner, fought the ball to egg-size, whipping 1t around with precision and skill. When 1t did get away from them, even on long range fire at the hoops, the St Mihiel drive was a. parade compared to the dash for the apple" by those Garnet and
 Gray boys:
 The versatility of the Foley planned attack was indicated by young Dick Tuckey who pushed
 in 16 points, including seven field goals as his "bit" for the evening.
 This season it has been Scally,
 Balinsky and Goodwin that have carried Naugy's scoring burden but last night 1t was Tuckey. who followed up his team m-mate's misses
 and turned them into scores. His work under both baskets was noth-
 ing short of phenomenal.
 Fairly Easy.
 The teams played evenly for the first quarter, but after that 1t was all Naugatuck. Aggressiveness, accurate and swift passing and
 knowledge of the mongrel floor of which they play their home games gave Naugatuck the game with
 ease. Crosby tried hard, but their
 passing was bad, only a series of
 long shots keeping them in the
 game at all. Griffin with seven points was high man for his team. Naugy's reserves made. 1t @ perfect night was a 40 to 25 win over the
 Crosby replacements. The main
 game score:
