The
SpoR7LIeH7
Novo May Lack Speed
To Whip Joe Louis
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
mn>ri.J forrsspr.pdsnt ~ The &taf


Lou Nova is just about completing
the first stage of his training for
the Joe Louis affair next month.
Being on the smart side, the Cali
fornian hasn't taken too much stock
in various reports that Louis has
slipped.
Golfer Joe may be slipping. but
he is also still slipping punches
where they do the party of the
second part little good.
There will be no questioning
Nova's physical and mental fitness
for the next big show, except pos
sibly along one line. Lou will be
big enough and strong enough. He
will be smart enough and game
enough. But will he be fast enough?
Billy Conn outtraveled Louis for
IL rounds through superior speed.
Then Billy chucked his main
weapon into the ash can for a toe
to-toe brawl 1t was speed-speed
of hand and speed of foot-that
kept Louis bafled and worried so
long.
But Nova hasn't Conn's speed
No other heavyweight around has.
In fact, few other heavyweights
have ever shown as much on the
speed side.

Moxie Wos No Woodsmon
And Hated Solitude

Max refused to 60. He hated the
woods. There were no bright lights
and no merry music among the oaks
and naples.
Lou Nova is different entry. He
can find solitude and call 1t peace.
Nova is one of the harder workers
/ doubt that even Gene Tunney
was willing to train more persist
entity.
This will be big help, but Nova
must still pick up more elusiveness
on defense. He can't afford to be
as easy to hit as he has been, at
times. In the past. His main work
should be in the direction Of greater
mobility. for 1t Is here that his best
chance lies.
The report is that Louis is now
hankering for the leather again.
1t might be that he has developed
. slice or has begun stabbing his
puts. 1t has been said that "hell
hath no fury like a bunkered dub"
Certainly golfer of his game is
no pet animal with which to play.

Lou Cont Trode Punches
With Shorpshooting Chomp

Nova can take a punch-a good
punch. But he can't afford to be
the target he was in the earlier
rounds against Max Baer He can't
afford to let Louis tag him too often.
Louis may have slipped, but there
Is still no one around who can
outpunch him.
There is a chance that Louis
may have dropped back further
than we know, but that is still a
guess. The two-month rest may
remove the staleneSs which seemed
to be piling up for nearly year.
After battling with heelprints in
the sand and watching 3-foot puts
drift by the cup, Louis may find
relief in socking and being socked.
A topped mashie shot can bring on
more anguish than a poke to the
chin.
So there is a chance that Louis
will be keener and sharper than
he has been for some time. If he
Is Nova will need all the extra
speed he can pick up in the next
few weeks.
A few years ago Max Baer, an
other Californian, saw that he was
on his way to a Louis meeting. Baer's
friend argued long and loudly,
pleading to get Max off to the woods
for preliminary training. They knew
he was in no shape at the time and
had little chance of reaching any
ut condition in two or three weeks.
