Paris, Jan. 28-(UP)-Max Schmel- ing. still convinced his one round knockout by Joe Louis last June was a fluke, sailed for the United States today determined to avenge that de- feat,
 T am Louis master. I proved it once, and I'll prove 1t again." the ex-heavyweight titleholder said in an interview with the United Press on the eve of his departure for New York aboard the Normandie.

 Looking fit, and with only a few gray hairs sprouting from the thick black locks at his temples, Maxie laughed at reports he was leaving Germany because of trouble with the government.

Pittsburgh Ice Hornets Swarm
 To Arena Sunday

New Haven, Jan. 28 - Cecil Hart, for years the coach of the Montreal Canadiens, has been deposed. Bus mess Manager Jules Dugal has taken over the Habitants coaching job and the spirits of the Cana diens' farm hands, the New Haven Eagles scared high as they prepared to do battle with the Springfield Indians sn Springfield tonight and with the swashbuckling Pittsburgh Hornets at the Arena on Sunday.
 The change in Montreal may bring the injury-riddled Eagles much needed help from the Cana diens. Coach Pit Lepine who did a 35-minute turn against the Indians last Sunday, working as center on two lines, will again perform the iron-man feat over the weekend. But Lepine expects winger from Montreal before the Birds stack up against the Providence Reds on Wednesday night; and he has al- ready asked Dugal for the loan of Red (One man gang) Goupille.
 On The Hop
 Lepine will center for Bob Mo- Gully and Eddie Ambois and will start the game in Springfield and at home tomorrow night against the Hornets. Then, after Glen Bryd- son, Tony Hemmerling and Marcel Trembly have had their turn on the ice, he will return to play left wing with George Brown and Gus Man cuso. In all, the silver-thatched coach will do at least 40 minutes on the ice in both games.
 The Hornets present a problem to the Eagles. Their last visit ended in a 2-ali stalemate. But since that tim ethe Pittsburgh crew has hit a winning stride and only last Thurs day shellacked the Providence Reds by a to score.
 Playing coach Larry Aurie. burly Don Deacon, young Charlie Brown, Ken Kilrae and the always colorful Happy Emms will be in the Hornet lineup. The game will start at 8:30 o'clock before capacity crowd.

BILL KERN TO GET $5O,OOO
 FOR , YEARS
Clipper Smith of Villa nova Is Dropped After
 'l0% of Gate Demand

Los Angeles, Jan. 28.-(UP)-The Los ..ngeles Evening News said to- day that Bill Kern, football coach at Carnegie Tech, had signed i've year contract with Boston college to replace Gloomy Gil Dobie next sea- son at a reported salary of $10,O00 yearly. Kern was named the out standing coach of 1888.
 Sport Editor New Cronin of the News said the contract had been disclosed by a reliable informant and that the announcement would be made on Feb. l. The informant also said Maurice (Clipper) Smith, coach of villanova, had been first signed by Boston college, but after terms had been met, he had demanded 10 per cent of the gate receipts. Col lege authorities were unwilling to grant that request.
 Cronin said Kern had approached Boston college officials during the recent coaches meeting in Chicago and asked If the position was open.
 Raise of S2,OOO
 '@The official replied that it was, but that the job paid only $10,000 per year and that under these terms Kern probably would not consider the proposition" Cronin said. ''Kern replied that he was making only $8,oo0 year at Carnegie Tech and that he would still be making the same no matter what hap pened."
 "The $2,000 boost was all he need ed and according to that report he signed. He plans to take his en- tire coaching staff with him. How ever there is one (Boston college) line coach who is being held over ..
 Kern said he would keep the man on the staff but at the first sign of letdown the holdover would be relieved of his duties"
 Cronin said Smiths percentage demand probably was inspired by Slip" Madigan of St. Mary's of Moraga, who operates under that system. Football fans probably will recall the time Madigan slapped an attachment on the proceeds of a Fordham-St. Mary's game in order to get what was due him."
 Kern last season gave Carnegie its greatest team since 1928 when the Tartans lost only one game, that to New York university, by a 27-13 count, and defeaetd Pittsourg and Notre Dame. Carnegie defeated Pitt by two touchdown last season and lost only to Notre Dame, 6-0, in a game marred by an officials er- TOT. In post season contest the Tartans were defeated in the Sugar Bowl, at New Orleans, l5-7, by TCU.
 Kern, former assistant to Jock Sutherland at Pitt, took most of the Panther coaching staff with him when he moved to Carnegie.
