DURHAM THURSDAY
Bulldogs Are Favored With
Record Of IS Consecutive
Wins Behind Them

The New Hanover Wildcats will
settle down Monday afternoon to
figure out a defense against the
high scoring Durham Bulldogs,
state champions Of the past two
years and also winners Of several
major tournaments, who are riding
a wave of IS straight wins.
Pepper Hopes For Win
Coach Nat Peppers boys did
themselves proud Friday night in
trimming the favored Rocky Mount
Blackbirds by a 80 to rs score on
the hardwood floor Of the Cape
Fear Armory auditorium. Coach
Pepper is silently praying his lads
will show the same kind Of spirit
when the champions are met Tues
day night in the YMCA gym at 8
o'clock.
The locals attack was spanked
by the flashy and at times uncan-
ny playing and shooting Of Billy
Pieper, the deadly sniping Of Cap
tain Allison Alderman and clean
shooting of Bobby Edwards. The
guards, John Merritt and Bill Bow
en-, helped to stop the luckless
Railroaders with their fine defense
and nice passing attack.
Rocky Mount lost n man, Pitt,
late in the game through fouls and
the visitors committed 10 INSIDE
meanors with the locals getting
caught for 9. The Wildcats cashed
in on 9 charity throws with the
Blackbirds adding 6 extra points
to their score in the same manner.
Just as the Golden Gloves tour
nament showed the public the need
for an auditorium by showing to
capacity crowds each night, the
high school lads did the same Fri
day night when they demonstrated
just what they could do in the
win column when they had a good
floor on which to play and prac-
tice instead of the unofficial, con-
crete floor and low ceilinged gym
in which they r forced to play
now.

GodoyM Get Another
Chance To Whip Louis
Arturo Must Wait Until
September; Joe To Fight
Paychek April 3
BY ORLO ROBERTSON

4<GW AOAk4A1
turo Godoy basked today in the
glory coming from giving Joe Louis
a terrific battle but he'll probably
have to wait until September be-
fore getting another chance at the
heavyweight boxing king and the
riches that so with an outdoor
fight.
The Chilean fisherman, just an
ordinary fighter on his visit to
this country two years ago, def
|initely earned another shot at the
title last night in Madison Square
Garden but Promoter Mike Jacobs
has other plans, for the present at
least.
sPrOvided''
Jacobs today offered Lee savold
of Des Moines a June fight with
the champion providing Savold
whips Bob Pastor in the Garden
March l and Louis comes through
against Johnny Paychek on April
3. In event Pastor whips Savold,
then Jacobs will consider the win
|ner of the March Is bout between
Buddy Baer and Valentin Campolo
of Argentina as a June opponent
for Louis with Pastor meeting
Light Heavyweight Champion Billy
Conn earlier in the summer.
AL We'll, Godoy's manager, de-
clared the South American was
willing to fight anybody but he
believed his boy should get another
title chance before Savold, Pastor,
Tony Galento or even Tommy Farr,
the only other man ever to go Is
rounds with Louis.
"That was Arturo's first fight
since last August" said We'll.
with one fight under his belt
Godoy will be even harder to whip
the next time"
But there's not much likelihood
Of We'll changing Jacobs plans.
A Great Champion?
While the 27-year-old Godoy was
projecting himself into the heavy
weight picture, boxing experts
dISueu WAeIAlel AouiS Is d great
champion. Those who said mo-
argued that a great champion
must be good against any type Of
a fighter and Louis definitely was
not that against Godoy's crouch
ing, bobbing, weaving style. In a
lesser degree Louis also was not
against Galento but Tony came out
of his shell twice and was tagged.
Some of the experts pointed out
that if Godoy had Galento's sledge
hammer left hook he would be the
new champion today.
There was mention Of matching
Godoy and Galento but their man
ayers couldn't see any purpose in
such a bar room brawl. Godoy has
decisioned Galento twice.
until September for another battle
with the champion, Godoy appar-
emily is going to lose no time prof
iting by his surprise showing. We'll
said he had several radio offers for
the South American and n from
a band. Just what Godoy could do
with a band was a mystery until
We'll explained that Arturo and his
wife are better than fair dancers.
Godoy received ~$13,540.1o as his
share of last nights gate Of $685.
848.S 9, paid by 1857. Louis 40
per cent amounted to $~32,848.81 but
it was the first time in nine title
defenses that Joe Louis failed to
draw 500, 900 or more through the
gate.
Louis will appear at a benefit IN
Baltimore Monday, then head West
for the Feb. % fight between GEL
erino Garcia and Henry Armstrong
in Los Angeles. He plans to re-
turn here about March l to start
training for Paychek.

"siegfried's Funeral March" from
'dotterdammerung." Mr.. Near
thurs vision Of effects Is extraordi-
nary and one feels how minute and
exquisite he hears them. Yet in
striving for them, in q work like
Death and TRANSPORTATION" the
unity Of the whole is somewhat lost.
The art of achieving them and still
maintaining the continuity of the
work in an unbroken progress of
unfolding Is not his as yet, except
in Wagner's music. Here Mr.. Nc
Arthur is gripped by the surge OF
the music itself and his attention
to each small opportunity to en-
hance it but adds to its power.
The three excerpts played last
evening were interpreted by a kin
dred spirit. They were poetic, dy-
manic and grandios at one and the
same time. 1t will be interesting to
follow Mr.. McArthur's development
as a conductor, for he has a musi-
cally analytical mind and poetic
feeling and so should be able to open
new vistas in the music he directs.
The cordiality with which the
audience received him showed that
he is already established in its
esteem.
