REVIEWING
THE SPORTS
BY JOHN BEAN

In some American city sometime
in September Joe Louis will give
Lou Nova a chance at the heavy
weight jackpot. the world
championship.
Everytime Joe defends his
pride possession it creates a lot
of interest. The fans are inter
ested because this may be the
''cutting off place for the champ,
and the writers will get a chance
to help Nova defeat Joe, on paper.
We don't believe Louis will lose
his title to Nova because the fell
Ter that beats the Bomber will
have to be able to take Joe's
hardest punches and return them
with the same force. Now who
in sight can do this? Louis dead
ly punching and coolness will keep
him and the crown intact for
years to come. Look what the re
suits are " hen Joe combines
deadly punching and coolness".
CONN'S PITFALL
Conn came within the limits OF
winning a decision over Louis.
He did SO because he kept out Of
range Of the Bomber's bombs. But
when Joe found the firing range
Billy folded like a London smoke
stack when hit by a Hitler's dive
bomber. Conn rocked Louis in the
twelfth and had him dazed, and
the opening Of the thirteenth Billy
said to Joe, Il got you, Joe" as he
sailed into Louis and began swap
ping punches the cooled headed
champ was waiting for this, before
Billy knew what was happening
he was staggering under the
bombardments Of rights and 1efts
and two seconds before the bell
Conn was folded on the canvass as
the count reached eleven.
BUDDY BAER ERR
The Baer was thirty-five pounds
heavier and five and a half inch
es taller than Joe. But this did
not make any difference to Lou
u.s.. when Baer knocked him out
of the ring and opened a cut over
his left eye in the fifth round.
Joe got down to business. In the
sixth Joe weakened the giant with
chopping rights and leats, then
toppled him as though he was a
redwood.

 If the British and American naVies can handle the situation out there" he said, i've may be able tc starve them out without calling upon our armies"
 But he thought serious consldefa. tion must be given to plans to bring more men into the draft army.
 There's a lot of logic to the sug. gestion that young men l8 to 2i make better soldiers than men 2I to 36," he said. Personally, cer- tainly do not favor placing thC minimum Gge any lower than 20 And changing the maximum agC from 28 back to the old limit oi S5 might do the job."

 They would also fit the sensa- tional pattern of events on tho Rus sian front where the Germans sud- deniy have announced that they have gone on the defensive for the winter.
