Let's just rove along Sportsdom.
Roland "Rollie" Bernard, new head
coach at N. C. A. & T. College is a
citizen of Cambridge, Mass. For
many years the Bernard family lived
in Medford. Rollie, six foot giant,
was one of Pat Hanley's greatest line
men at B. U. where he played center,
guard, tackle and end. Hanlev's
Terrier lines have always been fight
ing terrors, even outplaying the heavi-

ton. Rollie Bernard should be able to
produce verv tough Aggie frontiers.
In that B. U. had to employ light

Bernard should be well schooled in
meeting similar obstacles at A. & T.

Rollie should not be over-awed bv Nor

B. U. is coach at Sam Houston, all at

g.. However, letter from Jesse Chase
confirms the report that he has left
Sam Houston, although he may end
up at Paul Quinn College. And the
Texas papers officially announce at
Tillotson, where last year he piloted
the school to its first conference title.
i. Taylor really did great job for
the Eagles with the help of Bracy,

of A. & T., Randy is going to continue
his studies at college. AS said be-

others from our local schools. Lou
is well acquainted with the Notre

As 1 predicted last week in the
Guardian, the Billy Conn build-up is
now definitely and officially underway.
Make no mistake about it.
Doc Almy, foremost boxing author
ity in the East and a friend of the
writer, presented a candid feature
story in the Sunday Post of June first,
which we believe most fair and con-
siderate all around. AS Doc and

of last Sunday, in part, as follows:

"Just as Caesar had his Brutus and
Charles the First his Cromwell, it may
be that Joe Louis will have his Billy
Conn, the Pittsburgh challenger for
the formers worlds heavy title, at the
Polo Grounds, New York, the night of
June 18. The possibility-though
much weaker in our eyes that the
probability, exists.

the ring, both Of these conditions have
their foundation laid deep in wishful
thinking, rather than based on actual

Too Long on Job
Though Louis has proven worthy

fender of his crown has far exceeded
in fistic activity any and all predeces-
sors-it cannot be denied that the SEN

any particular reason why he should
not remain at the top, or should he so
decide, retire as an undefeated worlds

Suffolk Downs Trends
By "TRIUMVIRS"

Edging on toward completion of the
first half of Suffolk's 60-day 1941 rae
ing meet, the well-oiled turnstiles click
each weekday afternoon, admitting
fans to clubhouse and grandstand for
an "eyefull' of bangtail superiority.
Track conditions are not considered.
The flashing illuminated tote-board
meets the expectant gaze of plungers,
whispering tipsters and onlookers
alike, awaiting post time before each
event on the card.
From paddock to track, wave of
humanity retrace footsteps, gathering
important information for betting en-
issaries to buy winning place and
show tickets. The daily-double devo-
tees are there with their lunches.
Programs and form sheets are i'm
portant links in the chain of ideas to
make days "killing" on those demon
ponies of speed. In most instances,
only fantastic dreams and visions gov
ern the situation. A sudden fuke in
the wind or a hidden heat swoon
from Old Sol will make favorite ap-
pear outclassed and bow ANONYMOUSLY
to rank 100 to shot. Suffolk Downs
like all of the pari-mutual tracks has
its ups and downs in assuring the
money players that horse racing is
only guessing fame after ALL
Charlotte Lew, Sydney Mack and
Col. "Kentuckey" Barr keep apace
with the leading formists selecting
horses of merit. Miss Lewis feminine
thoroughbred motifs have been mar
velous. Mr. Mack's hardboiled calcu-
lations are unbeatable. Col. Barr's
bluegrass skill is Incompatible. These
three experts, are an exceptional bang
tail trio, whom form players should
follow when in doubt.
Jockeys have a place in this daily
drama. Each time the curtain goes
up and down, those little boot and sad
die boys play a conspicuous part.
They lash and spur their mounts from
gate to wire under tempestuous pres
sure. S. Young, so far, seems to be
the greatest judge of pace and speed
from the viewpoint of formist Mack.
He also includes M. Briggs as an out
standing apprentice.

Many See Conn Over Joe Louis
Slight Possibility, Says Amy

touch of the old color prejudice and the
fact that in the veins of the challenger
flows the blood of Old Erin would see
Conn oust the present occupant from
the kingly chair. Oddly, many of the
drums of ballyhoo now beating have
the Pittsburgher there all ready.
"Of the list of contenders now in the
ield-with the possible exception of
Lou Nova-the son of the Smokey City
is by head and heels the most outstand-
ing. To carry it further, he is the most
formidable of the entire brigade be-
cause of his known boxing skill and
speed inside ropes. He has both of
these assets a-plenty. :"
POOR ARGUMENTS
It's too bad more of the fight experts
cannot be as fair as Doc Almy who
admits he may change his mind should
he find Louis not up to scratch for his
June Is title defense. Almy will re-
veal the truth, anyway.
But, as Doc-a 70 year old ring
veteran has already stated-the argu-
ments advanced against Louis are to-
date very poor and prejudiced. Take
that one about Louis being on the job
too long. Jack Johnson won the title
in 1908 and lost it to Willard in 1915,
holding it for total of seven years.
Louis won his title in 1887, only four
years ago, and Joe is rated by some
experts as being better than Johnson.
And, as Doc points out further in his
story, Conn is a light puncher not
likely to knock out the Bomber who
will be DANGEROUS each time he throws
a punch. Unless Louis is completely
befuddled and in poor condition enabl-
ing Conn to peck out a decision, the
odds will be greatly against William.
Yet, it is on the basis or the hope
that Louis will not be in condition that
the Billy Conn supporters now rely on
for victory. This phase of propaganda
will be employed continually to "set
the stage" Watch for it,

Shows Crisp and

Yesterday afternoon an outStand-

Uruguayan pianist, who proved him.
self not only worthy representa-
tive of Latin America but also one
OF the best eXponentS of pianistic
art as an interpreter and virtuoso.
Senor Balzo plays with authority
and conviction. His analytical mind
and excellent musicianship are re-
sponSible for variety of Shadings
and for the eXpreSsiveneSS in his
touch. Bach's "Toccata in D Major"
tablished him at once as a serious
artist endowed with a crisp and
brilliant technique and a scholarly
background.
Both Beethoven's Sonata Ap-
passionate Op. 81" and Debussy'S
"Children's Corner" suite of six
pieces, provided sufficient contrast
to form an opinion of his matured
iGoas. The pianist mastered equally
we'll the emotional side of the first
I'D the light and fantastic element
in the second, projecting his own
personality as we'll. Charming were
the imaginative "Jimbo's Lullaby"
The Snow Is Dancing" and the
Little Shepherd" rhythmical and
humorous "GolIiwogg's Cake-Walk."
Strange as it may seem, the
music of Latin America, which
closed the recital, formed an anti
climax to an otherwise perfect
program. The reason for that may
have been insufficient preparation
for the yesterdays appearance,
which forced the artist to use the
printed page While Senor Balzo
gave a finished performance tech
nically to 10 compositions by six
South-Americans, it lacked that |
finesse and subtlety of understand
ing which distinguished his pre-
sentation of other works.
Among the numbers heard were:
Allerde's Two Tonadas," Lecuna's !
"Cri OLA" Tossar'S DANA Criolla,"
Vile Lobos Alma Brasileira" and
"Polichinela," Fabini's "Triste' and |
three Argentine dances by Gin
astera del Viejo Boyero," "De la
Moza Donoza" and Del Gaucho |
Matrero." The audience, which |
filled the auditorium to capacity, |
was generous in its appreciation of
Senor Balzo's talent and recalled |
