Impressive In Training.


THE clash between Jacobs. a rush.
ing, failing type Of fighter. and
Won Reedon, boxer and Snappy
puncher for all of his elongated build.
bids fair TO rival in interest the Over
lin-Allen scrap.
Victorious in his last % battles.
Overlln nevertheless may be no better
than even money to extend his streak
against the highly-touted Philadel-
phian. Training here since early last
week, Allen has impressed local ring
followers with his punching.
Overlin's midsection, which Is be-
lieved by many to be the Norfolk
sailors weak spot despite his success,
will be the target of his stiffest wal
lops, AYERS Allen, who holds kayo wins
over Young Terry and Tommy Murphy
as well as decisions over a flock Of
other well known middleweights.
With two eight-rounders listed as
result of the substitution. only one
six-round bout instead of the original
three will be staged. In this Bobby
Lowry, hard-flghting welterweight
from the Harry Groves stable, will
tackle Petey Bevans. another local
fistic product. OF the two, Bevans
probably is the better boxer but Lowry
is the more rugged.
An opening four-rounder lists Al
Dintamin and Joe Transperanta. who
are slated to fail away at $50 o'clock.

FEATHER TO TAKE
ON LIGHTWEIGHT
Comedies 6 Pounds in Sub.
bing for Dougan Against
Jacobs Tonight.
BY FRANCIS Z. STAN.

= IDE-STEPPED by fellow

Won Reedon will adopt the
- role of David on a modi-
fled scale tonight at Portner's
Arena where, in a co-feature
eight-round scrap, he will
tackle in Stumpy Jacobs of
Norfolk a full-fedged light
weight and some half a dozen
pounds heavier.
Won Reedon's decision to tempo
rarily forsake the featherweisht divi-
sion and pit his l28 pounds against q
lightweight adversary was made last
night when Leroy Dougan pulled up
with an infected tooth and left q gap
ing hole in the card which Ken Over
lin of Norfolk and Roxy Allen OF
Philadelphia will head in another
eight-rounder. Too heavy for Billy
Landers, who originally was to have
battled Dougan, Won Reedon accepted
the Jacobs match
For months Won Reedon has sought
in vain to inveigle Petey Sarron in
the Portner's ring. Irked by long Pc
riods Of idleness he accepted tonight's
task, though he stands to gain little.
Proof Of his ability to cope with light
weights, however impressive to the
customers, may not aid his cause In
forcing Sarron and other feathers
into the squared circle with him.

The Story of Mozart's Mas terpiece and Who Will
 Sing It.
Told By Maria Muller

 When the curtain rises on Mo. zart's masterpiece, "Don Giovanni in which I shall sing the role o1 Donna Elvira during the Metropol- itan Opera company broadcast this afternoon, its redoubtable hero, the wicked Don Juan of Spanish leg end, will be within two acts of his awful doom-but what a life he had led!
 No less than 2165 trustful wo- men had loved him not wisely but too we'll. In Italy were TAO. in Ger many 231, in France 100, in Turkey 91 and in his native Spain mille C tre, or 1903.
 We are forced to believe that this record is authentic because early in the first act his servant Leporello, tries to console the Don's latest victim, the hapless Donna Elvira, with recital of this list. In a large book the faithful valet has entered the name and so- cial standing of each of the trust full ladies-country wenches, city danes, chambermaids, baronesses, countesses, princesses and what not.
 Early in the opera. the Don be- gins a series of blunders which bring his speedy and terrible end. First, he would force his unwel- come attentions upon the virtuous Donna Anna. Then, in a duel he kills her averaging father, the Commentators.
 Plot Still Is Good Theater
 Next, he tries to take the buxom country girl, Zerlina, away from her pumpkin betrothed, Masetto. Then, he fails to realize that even fond and loving creature like El- vira when filled with the fury of woman scorned must be reckoned with; but his last and most terri
 bleblunder comes at the end of tn

Wealthy Penn Man Will Spend Fortune to
 Further Cause

Pittsburgh - (UP)-Dr George F. Gundelfinger, Sewickley, Pa, dry leader, whose fathers fortune was made in the liquor business before prohibition, will continue to spend his. share of that fortune to further the dry cause.
 The anamalous situation in the Gundelfinger family on the wet dry issue, was accentuated with repeal of the 18th Amendment. pr Gundelfinger's brofither, Phillip w., of Corapolis Heights. has been appointed district superintendent of Pennsylvania's liquor store sys- tenn, with authority over 70 tsate liquor stores in Western Penn- sylvania.
 Dr Gundelfinger, one-time math- ematics teacher at Yale Universi- ty, Carnegie Tech, and University of Pittsburgh, has spent about S5O,O0O in the temperance cause For the past 20 years the dry leader has distributed temperance pamphlets to every student enter l ing Yale, his alma mater.

FRENCH GAMBLE
 ON U. s. DOLLAR
Following Days Exchange Rates Have People
 Guessing in Paris

Paris-(UP)-Pari are the newest recruits to the ranks or speculators in the exchange and particularly those who are gan: bling on dollar quotations.
 Officials of exchange bureaus and branch banks around the Bourse report an increasing num- Der of French men and women, buying and selling dollars, francs, sterling, or fiorins, guessing on the next days exchange rates.
 This activity particularly is sur prising in view of the French. However, two reasons may be cited for this unusual speculation.
 One Is the human craving for unearned profits, now made pos sible even to small gamblers III the field of exchange because or the uncertainty of the dollar.
 The other is the fact, not for gotten by the French, that for tunes were made in few weeks in the period 126-2S by speculat- ors in the rocketing franc.
 While today's gambling by all types of middle-classes in France does not materially affect the eS- change quotations. as it involves not more than few million francs, it is recognized as a cur ious change in nation of emin- ently prudent, thrifty citizens. # also Is peculiar that so many of these small gamblers are women, who for centuries have held rigid control of the family purse.

 Washington, D. C., Jan 20-- Twenty-Five scholarships for young men at the Catholic University of America at Washington, D. C., fog the academic year, 1934-Sb on the Knights of Columbus Foundation are provided in the goth annual announcement of the examinations just released by Dr Richard J. Pur- cell, professor of history and gen. erai secretary of the university.
 The Knights of Columbus foun- dation of a l1alf-million dollars supports twenty-five scholarships for unmarried Catholic laymen at the Catholic University of Amer ica. About one-third of these scholarships, which give the hold CTS board, room and tuition but not special fees such as athletic, laboratory, library, and medical, fall vacant every. year because of the elimination of unsuccessful and to the graduation of successful scholars who have won higher de- grees.
 Vacancies are filled from a list of candidates whose rating are deter mined by their places in the com betitive examination and their eca- demic credentials. As far as pos sible, membership in the Knights of Columbus, or the membership of a father or immediate relative and sectional representation are considered. Recommendation for candidates also are aids in deter mining the personal character, the capacity for Catholic leadership and general ability.
 These are not undergraduate scholarships, high school graduates not being elegible. They are for postgraduate students in the grad uate schools of arts and sciences engineering, and law. To be eligi. ble for a scholarship in the grad.

opera when in a spirit of bravado he invites the marble statue of the murdered Commentators to leave it's pedestal in the cemetery ana sup with him.. .
 The invitation is accepted. the statue comes, graspse the wicked fellow with a cold, stony clasp and hurls him to the demons from be- low who drag him down to the everlasting fire.

As predicted here more than a week ago, Dick Powell will be fea- tured on the new Ted Fiorito pro- gram which succeeds that Of Fred Waring early next month. The movie star has been signed as singing master -of-ceremonies Tor the first three broadcasts of the new series. Dick is now appearing with the Fiorito musicians in the talkie, "Hot Air"
 Dick has been heard but once over a nationwide network that we recall. That was with Rudy Vallee a few weeks ago, when he failed to make too much of an impression on listeners. By February z, how ever. which will be the date of his first appearance, he should have mastered the mike technique enough to put over some effective entertainment.
 We Ion't envy either Fiorito or Powell as they'll have to be tre- mendously successful to duplicate the grand music, vOcalizing and novelties of the Pennsylvanians.

Ted Bergman is getting Q new spot of his own asa comedian.

Just to make sure of, ourselves
 we tuned in Teddy Black over
 WIZ Thursday night and ended up
 more convinced than ever that he
 initiates Guy Lombardo in almost
 every selection. Teddy's admirers
 have been insisting that he only plays the Royal Canadians type of program and does not base his in- strumentation on the Lombardo
 style. We've disagreed with them before and we do so even more
 emphatically now.
 We checked closely on Blacks playing and many of the effects he
 sought were typically Lombardo.
 "In Other Words We're Through" featured the muteds trumpet, the piano breaks and the sax interpola- tions, which, of course no orchestra can claim as its own, but which
 have been the special mark of Guys music. Other character istics were easily discernible in Easter Parade" and You're Con- ma Lose Your Gal.' Black and Jan Garber give NEG two orchestras which seek to em- ulate CBS' Lombardo. Neither at tempt is particularly successful, as both bands lack the smooth rhythm and the subtle backgrounds that
 are Guys. Of course they have
 the right to play their music as they see fit, but certainly they can't
 claim a style that's their own.
