NOVA KNOCKS AT DOOR OF RING .OPPORTUNITY Y
Decisive Win or K. 0. Oi Farr Tonight May Bring
 Him Shot at Louis
By JACK CUDDY

United Press Staff C0rrespondent)
 New York, Dec. 16-(UP)-Fight astronomers will lug their instru- ments into Madison Square Garden tonight to record the possible dis coyery of a great new heavyweight star, as handsome young Lou Nova tries to knock out Tommy Farr, the Welsh mule man."
 If Nova can knock out Farr or beat him impressively, the crowd will roar it's acclaim for the Alameda Adonis of California. Larruping Lou will be hailed as the new white hope,' the million-doilar baby, the man of destiny-who may ultimately de- throne the mighty negro champion, Joe Louis.
 Unfortunately Nova is rated the T-5 underdog in the betting be- cause of his lack of professional ex- perience as compared to the 150 commercial fights m which Farr was engaged. Nova, in two years of Scrapping, has weathered 26 profess sional bouts with only one defeat. Slapsie Maxie Rsenbloom won a
 
 Farr lost three straight bouts on American soil-to Louis, Jim Brad- dock and Maxie Baer. But he lasted the distancei neach. The Welsh coal miner shook of the explosive blows of the Brown Bomber, the Cinderella Man and the Livermore Lothario. And the betting men figure that Farr will be undamaged by Nova's sophis- ticated left jab and hammering short right.
 Hard Walloper
 However, the Nova admirers em- phasize that Lou won more than half of his bouts by the knockout route while Farr is powder-puf puncher. They recall that Farr cuts fairly easy as did Gunnar Barlund of Finland who lost on a thechnicaI knockout in Novas last trip through the ropes.
 This should be grand brawl in which Nova, determined to become the heavyweight challenger, inspired by his society bride, faces the des- perate Farr, who knows that if he suffers fourth straight defeat on American soil, he can pack his bags and go back to the coal mines in Wales. Farr is definitely on the big K" which marks the sport. He'll be in there whangling, although he hasn't fought since last March when Maxie Baer took the decision over him.
 The Nova admirers make much of Farr's absence from the ring. They insist that while tough Tommy may have lasted the distance against Louis, Braddock and Baer, he fa- ded much greater distance back wards along Broadway's primrose path during his absence from the ring. They make much of the fact that Nova has been campaigning busily with eight fights under his belt since last January.
 On the surface, age and poundage should make little difference in this first 15-round bout that Nova ever essayed. Nova is g and Farr is only a year older. But Farr has beef fighting for money since he was 1A and too many trips through thu ropes may have burned him out.

SNEAD TRAILS
 BY 10 STROKES,
 REMAINS CHOICE
McSpaden,. l2 to 1 Shot, Faces Miami Open
 Field Play
By LESLIE AVERY

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Miami, Fla, Dec. 16.-(UP)-An old golf axiom says that first round leaders seldom become title holders and today it was reflected in odds offered against either Harold (Jug) McEpaden or John Geertsen win ming the Miami open championship.
 The bookieS do not like 8 front runner on the fairways. They be- lieve it is harder to take the lead and hold it from the start than it is to snatch victory with hot round in the stretch. So the pricemakers were not only willing, but eager, to lay 12-1 against McEpaden, Win chester, Mass, pro. and 60-1 against Geertsen, a newcomer to the east ern winter circuit from Salt Lake City.
 These players were held at 16-1 and 200-1 respectively before they fired four -under-par 66'S and took a two stroke lead over 8 star-stud- ded field of 200 in opening 18-hole rounds yesterday. Their scoring brought a sharp reduction in their odds, but there were a half dozen others within easy striking distance whom the bookies feared more.
 Fav0rite Far Back
 Defending champion Sam Snead of White Surphur Springs, w. Va, leading money winner of the year, was 10 strokes behind the pace with a 76, but remained the favorite. The odds against him were raised point to 6-1. Slamin' Sam, who already has set a new record with more than $19,000 earned since last Jan. 1, might be counted out now, were it not for the fact that he carded a pair of 66's on his last two rounds last year to win the title with 13 under par 267.
 Second choice for the $2,500 chunk of the $10,00O prize money was Johnny Revolta, Chicago. Runner up to Snead in earnings this year, Revolta was held at 7-1 aS . re- suit of his 70 yesterday.
 NO 50 baQ
 Henry Picard, Hershey, Pa., and Jimmy Thomson, blond bomber of Shawnee-on-Delaware, Pa, were quoted at 9-1 and 1-1 respectively after their first round 6s's. Before Thomson played 8 GA in practice Wednesday, he was a 16-1 shot. But this lowered the price against him to 12-1, and it dropped another two points as he continued his par shat tering in competition.
 The low 30 professionals and 10 leading amateurs after today's play will qualify for the semi-final and final 18-hole rounds on Saturday and Sunday. Showers last night further softened the 6,300-yard Miami Springs Municipal course, al- ready soggy from two days of rain, and unsettled conditions were fore cast today.

Kiel to the weight lifting in Deutschland hall. I am not camera bug, and have handled nothing more intricate than 8 Brownie No. 2, but I am willing to swear that some of the "shots" in the Olympic picture never have been surpassed.
 The cluse-ups of Jesse Owens, as he crouched on the mark in the 100 yard dash and broad jump, alone justify the picture. You see him swallow as the starter cries "on your mark; you see the muscles gather in his legs as the call "get set", comes, and you see the mag nificent flow of Q champion when the starter says "go". There are diving and swimming shots unbe- nevable in their beauty and reality. There are pictures of the eight cared shell and orsmen in action that defy description, and it will be many years before any camera catches more beauty and drama than did Miss Riefenstahl in the pole vault finals between the United States and Japan. saw that final, and yet last night my spine tingled all over again, and during the final tries 1t was all I could do to keep from rising from my seat and yelling.
 Superb
 Honestly, there never has been such sport photography. Underwater pictures of the swimming events. Shots of the equestrian events that make the watcher shudder as horse and rider sail over a treacherous barrier. Candid and unrehearsed shots of the crowd-shots that make you laugh, make you cry, and make you yell, all unbelievably beautiful, all unbeivaby exciting.
 Before the picture was shown, to a sn1al, hand-picked gathering, Miss Riefenstahl spoke.
 T gave three years to this pie ture," she said. "It is my dream. I hear that it won't be shown in the United States because it is propa- ganda. I want you to look at it, and when it is finished, tell me if you think it carries but one message the glory of youth in physical com- petition"
 Miss Riefenstahl, here is my ans- wer:
 It is superb, and should be shown wherever there is a projection screen and lover of sport.

Sparks From The Power League

 The Accountants were in fine form and hopped on Jack Roberts Construction entry for three points. Jack is now issuing leaflets to his boys with instructions ot study it hard as 1t is their new battle cry, Don't give up the sink" This is to be sung during the cleaning up hour. To show that his heart was in the right place, Frank Synott took the low kicker to console his team mates.
 We don't want to rush the issue but we are letting you know now that the league will not bowl on Friday night, December 23rd. This is the custom in the league which allows the boys to complete their Xmas shopping and many of the fellows who go away for the week end to leave early.

Today's Sport Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE Limited Press Stan Correspondent

Los Angeles, Dec. 16-LaSt night I saw the finest motion picture I have ever seen, and you mustn't dismiss my opinion lightly, because as 8 man who dates back to John Bunny, Flora Finch, Broken Blossoms, and Birth of a Nation, I am qualified to speak as 6 fairly competent critic.
 The picture I saw was the one that Adolf Hitler commissioned Leni Riefenstahl to take of the Olympic games held in Berlin in August of 1886. Few persons in this country have ever seen the film. I have heard that it never will be exten- sively shown because of the anti NaI boycott and the belief that it consists of German propaganda. The showing I saw was largely se- cret-a sort of sneak preview, in which those invited were asked not to mention the time nor the place in which they saw it.
 Has Purpose
 I am not in favor of any such handling of the film. It is not pro- paganda, but magnificent filming of the greatest meeting of athletes in the history of the world. It could have been taken anywhere-Eng- landg, France, Greece, or Switzer- land. If it is not shown to the youth of this country, the youth of this country will be the loser. From start to finish-and it runs almost four hours-its only messeage is the joy and the glory that comes from the development of a superb body.
 q went to Berlin of the Olympic games, but last night, watching Miss Riefenstahls film, I saw more of the games than I ever did from a press box seat in the stadium. Her cameramen missed nothing. It cov- cred it all, from the yachting at

MERIDEN ENDEES
 TOP WEST SIDES

Meriden, Dec. 1b.-The West Side Speedboys, making their debut as successors to the Waterbury Ashley club in the State League, dropped 46 to 25 verdict to the vastly-im- proved Meriden Endees last night at the state armory before 200 fans.
 The youthful Waterbury aggrega- ton played their more rangy and experienced opponents on even terms in the first half, trailing by only two points at intermission. As the third period got underway their star dribbler, Gen Damelio, collided with Lloyd Slavin and suffered a deep gash over his left eye which forced him to the sidelines for the remainder of the contest.
 Benny zapac, captain of the En- dees, went on another scoring spree and netted himself IS points to take the league lead in this department from Harry Kelly of Ansonia. za- jac threw them from all angles with great success.
 The Brass City club will play the Bridgeport Springwoods tomorrow night in the Park City at Sokol hall.
