New York, December IS = Bob Olin, New York's leading contender fo rthe worlds light-heavyweight championship, is just one week behind. schedule in his quest for that title held by his arch-rival, Maxey Rosenbloom. Blame noth- ing but the weather for that. The arctic freeze which overcame the East last week caused postpone ment of Bob's plan to challenge Rosenbloom, because Bob's ten round bout with Al Gainor, whcih was to have been held at George Mulligan's Waterbury A. c. last Friday had to be put back a week.
 But Bob is sanguine that no such interruption will occur this week and that he will go into the Waterbury main go just as fit as he was last Friday when he showed himself to weigh in, and incidentally to display the finest condition in which he ever ap- peared for 8 fight.
 It. was tough all around. Fight postponements are the bane of the promoters lives. But such an ex- perienced man as George Mulli- gan can take them. He was the least disturbed by tine turn of af- fairs and went about presenting the match agai nthis week just as though it were just made.
 Double Damage
 It was 8 costly thing for Lou Erik, George Mulligan's represen- tative in New Y ork. Lou, instead o fbringing along his dog-sleds to navigate the slippery byways lead ing to Waterbury ran amuck of many skids and did whirling derv- ishes all over the roads leading to Waterbury. And, not without tn- jury. Lou got his car smashed up no little by hitting a hidden stump and with the same gesture came out minus a row of perfectly good teeth.
 "But it's al lin the game" quoth the New Yorker. T wouldn't have missed that scrap between ONn and Gainor for anything. I'll be right back over those same roads next Friday, but this time I'm sure the clements will not play such pranks thi sitme."
 Olin went back to work at the Stillman gymnasium in New York yesterday, just to keep the fine condition in which he put himself for this big test in his career. Bob is careful liver, engages in no forms of dissipation and just has to take it easy from now until fight time. He has been ap- preached by many matchmakers in the last few days for his services but has passed them all up until he settles that score with the great New Havenite, Gainor. The more 1..1 1ff t,al ~n onnnal fn him.
 'I wouldn't think of backing out of fight that such 8 man as George Mulligan has arranged" said the grateful Olin during his work. 'It was George who gave me this big chance, which I am sure will lead to that chomplon- ship match with RosenblooIn. nobody want to see get the match but this same Mulligan, who un- derstands every trick of the pro- noting game. We would have had a sell-out last Friday, due chiefly to the excellent manner in which George Mulligan puts on his shows. I'll stick with him until the match does come off,"
 Looking Around
 Maxey Rosenbloom was again witness of Olin's daily doings. Maxey appears more and more in- terested in this Olin boy as the days slip by. He must feel that he must meet him. And, there is big chance that the 175-pound champion will be among those present at George Mulligan's club next Friday night, when Olin and Gainor meet to settle. their ques- tion of individual superiority. Maxey says if he has the time he will drive up with Representative Lou Erik to get line of Olin's fighting quality and Gainor's as well, in case the colored man comes through with the victory.
 And, then George Mulligan. who is interested in promoting the championship match may talk terms with the champion. George is interested in Maxey's proposi- tion to take a $7,500 guarantee for such a fight and next Friday besides the fight itself there may be the making of an important bout in Mulligan's Phoenix hotel. which should be accompanied by all the sidelights that used to att tend the making of such import ant fistic affrays when Mulligan was the premier of the fight pro-
