Troops Of Bulgaria
Are Massed A|onq
Turkish Border
Sofio Places Odds at
4 to ! That Germans
Will Move In
Ey the Associated Press.

SOFIA, Bulgaria. Jan. 7.-Bul-
garia, hemmed between a big Ger
man army across the Danube in
Rumania and repeatedly growing
Turkish concentrations across her
southern frontier, was declared to-
day to have massed almost all her
troops to the south-facing Turkey.
Across the southern border. in
Thrace, 100000 Turkish troops were
reported ready for any eventuality.
Turkish sources asserted that if
the Nazis crossed the Danube, the
Turks would march into Bulgaria
to meet them.
German sources, however, ex-
pressed doubt the Turks would
cross the frontier in such an
eventuality and predicted, instead.
they would remain in their Thracian
forts, on the defensive.
Bulgars waited and hoped their
country would not be made battle
field but some of them commented,
what we hope doesn't count"
Expect Nazis to Move In.
The odds in Sofia still were given
as about four to one that the Ger
mans would move in-perhaps in
few days, perhaps not until spring.
The Bulgarian high command
figuratively shrugged its shoulders.

men of its army for the Greek

Although Bulgaria's war strength
has been estimated at about 500 900
men, only about 100000 are under
arms. A few of these are along
the Greek and the Yugoslav from
tiers. Fewer still are across the
Danube from the Germans in Ru-
mania. Most of the best face Euro
pean Turkey.
CThe Anatolia Agency reported
from Ankara today that the

Hope Lies With Russia.
Authoritative sources in Sofia have
said for weeks Bulgaria's only hope
of keeping the Germans on the Ru-
manian side of the Danube is that
Soviet Russia might oppose Ger
man move across Bulgaria toward
the Greek frontier or the Dar-
danelleS.
Some Balkan observers said they
took hope from the unexplained
activities of Alexander Mihaico-
witch, Balkan expert of the Soviet
commissariat of foreign affairs, who
came to the Russian Legation here
with the title of First Counsellor.
These sources said he might have
come to Bulgaria to counteract Nazi
pressure on King Boris.
Others, however, pointed out that
Mihaicovitch's last big job was as
chief delegate to Soviet German
negotiations over Polish boundaries,
and they doubted he had been sent
to oppose the German designs in
Bulgaria.

Herb Gunther knocked out Maui
rice Bobbitt in the second round of
their light ht-heavyweight bout last
night at College Park, giving Mary
land a 4l2-3l2 victory over the
Tar Heels.
The match gave the Terps an
even break on the evenings sports
activities, which opened when Con-
necticut beat Maryland's courtmen,
52-43.
More than 1000 saw the sports
contests and the colorful all-uni-
versity night events that were staged
in between the basket ball and
boxing.
-Four knockouts, all of the tech
nical variety, dotted the card. but
it was North Cardinals forfeit in
the heavyweight division that de-
cided the issue in Maryland'S favor.
Gunther's victory will go down
in the books as a technical kayo,
but Referee Charley Short could
have counted 110 over the PROSTATE
Bobbitt. He went down like nov
ice ice skater as Gunther, moving
cautiously but putting plenty of
"oomph' behind his punches, drove
home the decisive blow.
Bobbitt was in trouble in the first
round after Gunther shot another
right with kayo written all over it
to the jaw. But he hung on and
Weathered the storm. In the Sec

briefly. and when he did the Old

fest from the start with Maryland S
Judson Lincoln and Hubert Walston
teeing off with potential knockout
punches every shot Walston stag
gered Lincoln in the second but
was none too steady on his own
pins. 1t was called a draw.
Andy Gennett outboXed Charley

then dropped him with a right cross
in the third to win by a technical
knockout. Referee Charlie Short
halted it after 1:28 of the session.
