Star WeIterweights Head Great Fight Bill at BuCk=
 ingham Hall

Already in possession of 8 break" that matchmakers get once in a blue moon, Waterbury A. c. officials are confidently expecting the s. R. O. sign to be in full view shortly after 8:30 o'clock Thursday night, when the outstanding card of the season is presented at Buckingham Hall. Careful analysis shows it to be out of the ordinary, and certainly worthy of the attendance of every fight fan in Waterbury and sur rounding towns who can crowd his way into the arena.
 Dough Marsh of Canada and Francesca Montanari of Italy, is the star bout of a five bout bill that should be memorable for action and well-matched ability. Marsh beat Jackie Thompson in his last start here, and Thompson will be remembered as the Albany negro who defeated Dick Turcotte twice when the local lad was going good. Montanari beat Oscar Suggs badly last time on the local card two weeks ago, while Suggs held the clever Marsh to draw. So-Marsh and Montanari figures to be quite a scrap for eight rounds or less.
 At Long Last
 Dom Fiantini of New York and Johnny Compo of New Haven will finally get together for their return bout it is hoped, as they were scheduled to do on the last show, Fiantini having beaten Compo in this city two months ago. Compo pulled out of the Fiantini return bout, but has been on the shelf Joy order of the athletic commission until he goes through with his con- tract, which is why he has decided to take on FiGntini again mad have it over with, possibly squaring him. self all around by winning the nod and opening the door for third and rubber" match.
 Jimmy Bell and Red Doty will dc it again because Of the odd end- in gof their last local brawl which wound up in a TKO for Bell when Doty missed the count and bounced up to fight after the final "10' had been counted by Honest Bill Taylor of Hartford.
 Frankie Foley of New Haven. who has had quite few soft" ones in New Haven will find plenty of trouble in Neil Miller of Scranton, Pa.; who figures to defeat him on his best form as he hsa ring class galore and a fair to middlin' wallop.

Leahy Lauds B. C. For Opportunity

Boston. Gee. 3 -(UP)- Coach Frank Leahy, hailed as the coach of the year in the east after lead ing his team to 10 straight triumphs and a Sugar Bowl berth, hopes to remain at Boston College "a long, long time"
 Leahy discussed his football fu- ture for the first time this season while speaking at the Annual Grid iron club dinner last night.
 "A lot of people have told me re- gently I deserve credit for putting Boston College on the football map" he said. "As matter of fact, I feel it is just the other way around. Boston College took me as an unknown coach and gave me the opportunity to gain whatever fame has come to me"
 Leahy reportedly was given a two-year contract with salary in- crease at the end of his first season here last year when he led Boston College to the Cotton Bowl. Ru- mors have been current the past two months that two southern col leges were bidding for his services.

and in Flathead and Sanders coun-
ties say the date is too early. A
further objection is that if the
weather continues as dry as it is
now, the forests will unquestionably
be closed by the forest service and
hunters will not be able to get to
the birds. And every indication
now is for continuance of the dry
weather. 1t is very probable that
sportsmen in this part of the state
will ask for an open season later
in the month, probably about the
18th. 10th and 18th.
