In marriage by her father, wore a
lovely gown of ice blue brocaded

attendant, and wore a pink taffeta
gown similar in style to that worn

BETTORS RATE
 HEAVYWE|GHTS
 AT EVEN MONEY
One of Principals Must Quit as Threat to Joe
 Louis
BY HARRY FERGUSON Limited Press Sports EditOr)

New York, Jan. 10 = (UP) = A pair of youngsters whose ears still are ringing from beatings given to them by pair of old timers will try tonight to get on the comeback trail that leads to a shot at the heavy weight championship of the world.
 Pat Comiskey, a hard puncher from Paterson, N. J., is quoted at even money with Lou Nova of Ala meda, Cal, who comes back from the edge of death to wage his bat tie. On paper, it looks like the best heavyweight fight of the season, but boxers are perverSe rot and some- times give their most dreary per- formances when most is expected of them.
 It's hard fight for the bettors to figure because each boy is a 200- pound question mark. A little over a year ago both looked like cham piaonship timber, but one fight re- duced each to splinters. Nova took terrible beating from Tony Ga- lento in Philadelphia and Comis- keys chin got in the way of Max Baer's roundhouse rights. When the kid woke up, the Jersey City sta- dtum was empty and he had suffer- ed bad setback.
 Close To Death Nova has passable alibi for his defeat by Galento. He claimed he was seriously i'll that night and later events bore him out He suffered from septic poison, lost about 20 pounds and was in California hos pital for several months. For a time physicians doubted whether Nova would live, much less fight again.
 But he comes back to the wars reputed to be in tip-top condition If so, he will be a dangerous man for he is good boxer, a fair punch CT and has plenty of Savvy. One of his great exhibitions was against Baer when he took everything Maxie could throw at him, outboxed his opponent and finally slugged the madcap into quitting.
 Comiskey is real killer with his right. He has knocked out 27 of his 34 opponents and while some of them weren't exactly terrors, there is no doubt that the Paterson kid can slam 'em into dreamland if he gets a fair shot at the jaw. He is not brilliant boxer, but he has im- proved fast and tonight will tell whether Baer beat the spirit out of him.
 Decision
 The distance is 10 rounds and if it goes the limit, Nova is almost cer- tain to win. He can do it by staying away from Comiskey and boxing him. If they tangle in a slugging match, Comiskey probably will flat ten Nova and it may happen quick ly.
 l A bad defeat for either man will definitely Sidetrack him as a cham /, pionship prospect. so there should be plenty of all-out fighting by both parties to the controversy.
 The only line on Nova since his illness is that he knocked out some body named Johnny Erjavec in five rounds. Comiskey won four fights after his defeat by Baer, but none of those opponents was of Nova's caliber.

Armstrong Makes
 "Last Stand" Next Week With Zivic
Special to The Dem 1crat)

New York, Jan. 10-New York $ firset title match of 1941 takes place at Madison Square Garden next Friday night when Fritzie zivic, world welterweight champion, puts his crown at stake against Henry Armstrong, the man from whom he won his laurels last October 4.
 There was time when Henry Armstrong held three world cham pionships. the featherweight, the lightweight and the welterweight. Today, however, he is titlelesS-an unusual circumstance for Armstrong and a. situation which he hopes to remedy when he faces zivic on Fri day.
 Many boxing men believe. how ever, that Zivic, having beaten Arm strong once, will do so again. They point out that the Pittsburgher, more so than any opponent Arm strong has ever faced. has solved Henry's peculiar style and that his own style is just right to thwart the ever-charging Armstrong.
 Couldn't See
 Henry attributes his defeat by Zivic to bad eyes. It will be recalled that Armstrong fought the last five rounds of the Zivic fight under a terrific handicap. He was barely able tosee, with one eye cut and bleeding, the other tightly shut Since his defeathe has had the eyes treated, the scar-tissue removed and today he insists his eyes are in perfect condition.
 Armstrong did three weeks of pre- liminary training at Hot Springs, Ark, before coming into New York for his attempt to regain his title He is now working out daily at Stillman's gymnasium. Zivic rested for week or so following his meet ing with Lew Jenkins last month then began light training in a Pittsburgh gym. and is now pre- paringat the Pioneer gymnasium in New York.
 Matchmaker Nat Rogers has signed Young Kid Mccoy, of Detroit, and Aaron CAD Smith, Los Angeles welter, for the eight-round semi final to the vic-Armstrong bout Two sizes pair Jackie Donovan, Buff falo welter, and Lou Schwartz, Brooklyn; Johnny Colon, west side middleweight, and Johnny Flores, Houston, Tex. The four-round open CT lists Sammy Parotto, Pittsburgh feather, and Lou CaSiano, Harlem
 Tickets for the title show are priced at $1.15 general admission 2.30, $3.50, $4.00, $5.75 and $11.50.

According to the Clevelander, Ray told Pittsburgh and other newspa- permen he'd "be a chump" to turn the offer down. Later, Friedman says, Ray told him he thought it was all a publicity gag, told him he'd have to contact Jacobs. REFUSED TO
 TAKE LOUIS
 He did saw Jacobs in Detroit and New York, only to be told You're going to ruin the fight game, making offers like that" Ja- cobs makes no flat guarantees works on a percentage basis.
 So, Friedman says, he repeated his offer for Conn to Jacobs, was told T have no fighters for sale. Forget about Conn and I'll give you Looie (Joe Louis)."
 Friedman refused to take Louis said his reputation as a pro- moter and as a lawyer. would be ruined if he offered Cleveland fans a pushover bout.
 Whereupon he and Jacobs broke off negotiations, and Brickmar went after title contenders Bettina and Christoforidis.
 SEES CHANCE
 TO AID BOXING
 Brickman-who has been in tht promoting business only about g year-regards the present setup a: an opportunity promoters outside New York have been wanting fol years.
 He points to the case of Pitts burgh, which-at least until re. cently-had two titleholders 1T Conn and Fritzie Zivic, but couldn't see either of them fight.
 Jacobs thinks everyone west oi the Hudson river is an Indian, Friedman says.
 Taking himself at Jacobs val uation, he's going out after Mo nopolist Mikes scalp.

YALE TO REDUCE
 COACHING STAFF
"Gentlemen's Agreement Contracts to Be
 Scrapped

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 10.-CUP) All Yale university athletic coach es-eXcept Emerson Spike" Nelson new football coach-were given their notice today as the college scrapped its traditional system of "gentlemen's agreement" contracts providing years notice of dismissal
 Athletic Director Ogden Miller emphasized, however, that the mo- tice" given to all coaches did not mean all would be fired. Some, he added, probably would be retained under a set-up whereby individual and more permanent contracts would replace the years notice system.
 "The main reason for the change the Yale Daily News said, lis econ- omy".
 Miller said he would start. inter viewing various member of the coaching Staffs on Monday. Unless they are reappointed, their em- ployment with Yale will end on January 15, 1942.
 In a notice to coaches, Miller said "the critical situation facing this country and the effect upon the university of emergencies which may arise" was the principal reason fol the change.

tongue got caught in his store teeth when he was saying all those things or not. Maybe he didn't mean them," Friedman says. But he can't get away with it. I'm not go- ing to do anything until this fight is over, but then I'll show Jacobs he can't islander me-" "SUE OR
 APOLOGIZE"
 Friedman, lawyer himself, says he'd welcome Jacobs threatened suit over the billing of the Cleve- land bout.
 He wired Jacobs, in fact, either to file suit or come forth with a public apology.
 Friedman says he persuaded N B. A. President Joe Triner of Illi- nois to make an issue of the Jacobs action. It was Timer who ruled the light heavy title vacant for three reasons:
 1. Conn did not defend his crown in the required time. At the end of the six-month limit, he was granted an additional 30 days, but still hadn't signed for defense.
 2. Conn automatically relinquish- ed his claim to the title when he agreed to meet Joe Louis for the heavyweight title.
 3. Johnny Ray, Conn's manager, admitted Conn would surrender his crown.
 The Brickman-Jacobs feud start ed with the Cleveland promoters of- fer of $15,000 to Conn to defend his title in Cleveland.
