Louis Heavy Choice to Win

same period engaged in by the
challenger. This may be impor.
tant before the evening is over,
but 1t shouldn't be.
John Henry can't win unless he
gets close enough to land his fists,
and anytime he gets that close he
lays himself wide open to brain
scrambling punch. Sooner or
later he probably will be smashed
into inconsistencies.
CONTROVERSY
There is considerable discussion
over the fact that the champion
and challenger are friends outside
the ring and that, therefore, Louis
probably will be inclined to take
it easy. I don't know about that.
However, If Louis lets sentiment
enter into anything so valuable
as heavyweight title, which has
earned him 81, ,25O.000 so far, he is
a bigger sucker than his very smart
handlers have ever let him appear
to be. He may not be able to work
up the homicidal rage he showed
against Schmeling, whom he de.
Spised, but he still figures to bust
j, Henry open at the seams.
The latter's expressed battle cry
is, "I won't run way; I'll box for q
few rounds, then fight it out" and
that probably is his requiem. BY
boxing he may elude the inevitable
for the time being; by slugging he
will get himself smeared all over
the canvas, bringing about there
with the expected finish.

 School Syhtem
 The board of education would have the same jurisdiction over the school system that the council would have over the other city affairs. They would appoint the superin- tendent of schools. and prescribe all school policies, while the superin. tendent would act in regard to the school system in the same capacity as the city manager would act for the administrative services of the city. In fact, there is little difference between the present system and the proposed system in this respect.
 The weakness of the present elec- tion system was pointed out in yes terday's article.

 A principal outstanding instance of the meetings on Saturday morn- ing will be all address entitled, some Educational Opportunities for Connecticut Youth," by pr. Herbert w.
