Noyak Is in No Hurry
To Turn Pro for
Crack at Louis
Amateur Heavy King Who
Fights Here Next Week
Just Learning to Box
By LEWIS ATCHISON.

Tony Novak, the Kansas City kayo
kid and national amateur heavy
weight champion who boxes Jimmy
DeChard Wednesday night at Grif-
fifth Stadium. wrapped a big fist
around straight shot of milk yes
terday, puckered his lips thought
fully and allowed as how the first
good boxer with a punch to meet
Joe Louis will grab his title.
Louis sure can hit" he admitted
with lanquid southern drawl. ac-
quired during a three-week visit to
Atlanta, but he also can be hit
I've seen him fight-and the first
real puncher he runs into will give
him lots of trouble. maybe knock
him out. Mind you now, I'm not be-
littling him because I think Joes
q great champion. but he can be
beat by puncher."
And while young Novsk didn't
say so in as many words, you got
the impression that he had a suspi-
cion he would be the man to chill
the champ within the next couple
of years. He seemed to have all
the necessary physical requirements
and his heart and soul Is in the
ring game He was busy pumping
hands with a steady flow of civic
leaders and sportsmen who attended
the reception in his honor yesterday
and it gave us q chance to get
the opinion of his manager, doc"
Joe Reilly. Georgetown alumnus
and all-around sports fan.
Tony Won't Be Hurried.
Right now," Reilly admitted,
"Tony's rough around the edges and
just like any other amateur in some
respects One day he looks good
enough to take Louis, Galento and
Dempsey in a free-for all and rap
their heads together and the next
he's just another fighter with pair
OF pants. But the boy has a punch,
he's ambitious and we're in no hurry
to turn him pro. After all, when
he steps in there and starts shooting
for the title we want him to win it,
not miss because he wasn't schooled
thoroughly.
"Tonys been fighting three years
of and on, but he's only started to
improve since we've had him-and
that's no attempt to pat ourselves on
the back. That merely means he's
coming along with the proper in
struction. Before we had him he
was just big kid with powerful
right hand, but now he's developing
into a good boxer as well as
puncher."
Novak, the only boy in family Of
eight children, was some shucks as
a ball player and had an offer to
sign with the st. Louis Browns as
a catcher, but he was beginning to
box about the same time and pre-
ferred ring work. He's quiet, serious
and has a nice sense of humor.
Novak was to visit Spike Webb at
the Naval Academy this afternoon
and work out tomorrow, Monday and
Tuesday at the Jewish Community
Center.

Band Plans
For Concert
On April IL

Leaders of the Band Boosters Club
Sponsoring the Henderson high
school band, were looking today for
some communitywide organization
to sponsor the effort to raise funds
. md the band to the New York
Worlds Fair to participate in the
program of North Carolina Day at
The fair on Monday, June 10. Since
tbe booster club consists almost en-
tlrely OF parents of boys and the few
girls in the band, they hesitated to
make the drive themselves.
1t is planned to have a concert by
lie band on April II, to raise funds
o. the trip. 1t is doubted if the en-
tlre amount necessary can be realiz-
eG from that effort alone. Ladies of
The booster club have, however, al
ready made tentative plans for the
sale OF tickets to the concert, but are
anxious for sponsor for the under
taking
Estimates are that upward of ST.
200 will be necessary to provide
transportation by train and pay 9TH
er expenses of the trip to New York.
While tickets will be sold to the
band concert, individual contribu-
ticns will be received and welcomed
by interested citizens.
Plans are not complete, but the
ladies of the Band Boosters Club
say they hope in the next few days
to determine whether or not it will
be possible to undertake the trip to
the fair by the band. The high
school music organization is one OF
the few in North Carolina planning
to make the trip to the fair. An in
vitation to attend was extended by
c. w. Roberts, of Charlotte, chair
man of the committee arranging for
the North Carolina Day occasion
and the, invitation has been ac-
cepted.

Made Success; Bar
gain Merchadise Of
fered by Merchants

Next week will be observed here
as Greater Henderson Trade Week,
and merchants are offering special
bargains to customers IN order TO
attract visitors to the city for the
event. Most retail concerns of the
city are cooperating in the event,
son Chamber of Commerce.
Mayor Henry T. Powell today is
sued a proclamation calling upon
all of the people to cooperate, and
declaring that such cooperation
would be beneficial to every one.

would be able to buy at lower prices
that such purchases would help the
merchants, and also would move
merchandise, thus creating markets
for the, producers.
Greater Henderson Trade Week
will begin. on Monday and continue
all next week through Saturday. It
is the final week before Easter, and

for late buying in preparation for
the big spring holiday.

issued today, follows:
"To the people of the city of Hen
derson:
II deem it my duty to inform you
that there will be an unusual shop
ping opportunity for you during our
Greater Henderson Week event,
April through April 8.
Il urge the purchasers to take
every advantage of this unusual op-
portunity, not only for themselves,
but also for the great advantage it
gives the merchants and to the men
and women the country over who
are very anxious for a chance to
produce, that they, too, may get
some return and that they may be
able to purchase some of the things
they might not only desire but actu-
ally need.
ut is our purpose to move about
in the shopping district during this
great event, and it will be my per-
sonal delight to see that you are
cooperating-to Sc who are imbued
with the give as well as the take
spirit.
:. Every purchaser during this
great event helps himself, helps
business and helps the city.
"As mayor of the City of Hender-
son proclaim April through April
