COAST IS HET Up
OVER HEAVY HOPE
Crosby Is Said to Be Angel
for NesteII Who Looks
Like Tunney.

4 RUMOR comes from the West
~ Coast that Bing Crosby, the
~ crooner, secretly is acting as
4 \ an angel to young Pacific
Coast pugilistic prospect, of whom
hopes are entertained that he will
some day be heavyweight champion
of the world.
The newcomer Is Bob Nestell, a
handsome young 100 FOUNDER, who
two years ago won local fame as an
end on the North Hollywood High
eleven.
Southern California fight fans found
his resemblance to Tunney so close
as to render it difficult to tell which
was Gene and which was Nestell.
As discerning an observer as Brayen
Dyer Of Los Angeles is almost tempted
to predict Nestell's attainment of the
heavyweight throne.
A NYwAY, Dyer and a lot of others
= think very well of this young
giant, just 81, who in less than a year
OF pro battling has ended most Of his
encounters with sharp and convincing
knockouts.
Gus Wilson of whom you know as
trainer Of Georges Carpenter, Ted
kid Lewis. Charley Ledoux and
others, is handling Nestell under an
arrangement which does no discredit
to the shrewdness Of Crosby, or Who
ever the backer is. Wilson and his
battler, it is reported, are receiving s45
each week for expenses over an 49,
month period and they receive q cut
from all their matches.
To date the young prospect has
shown terrific wallop with right and
left-and the fact that he is a sucker
for a let hook is atoned by the fact
that he takes such a wallop without
distress. BY the time he fares East,
