 New York, Dec. 10, - (uP) = A slzeable number of this oommunity's more susceptible eitlEenS will gather again tonight to witness tho second phase of campaign to standardiEe the various brands Of world boxing champions, and for once they can't complain that they weren't warned in advance what to expect for their money, The occasion Is the meeting of Lew Jenkins and sammy Angott, who reign respectively as world lightweight kings of New York state and tho National Boxing ASsocia. ton. The party of the first part, hooney Lew himself, has provided more than c hint of what ls in store by releasing aremarkably timely ballad which h0 has titled, "This time we're really through"
 The sorAwny, sear.fNced Texan claims to have actually wrltten his little dltty without outside help and he laas announced thathe will intro- duee it from Tlngside Ns soon As he rocks Angott of tho beam with . few well chosen punches. Jenkins states that this task won't occupy him for more than 10 minutes ct most and requests the customers to stay for the song,
 . A ProphetA Too
 Of course, there are persons in town who disagree with the Jenkins prediction of the evening. Many consider the local champions mu- Sical efforts evidence that he has proven himself not merely aIi art.

Maria Lenk Lowers Swim Mark By 11.4

1rookline, Mass, December le. = (UP) = Maria Lenk, 24-year-old physical education teacher at the University of Rio De Janeiro and one of six touring South American swimmers, held a new record for New England today in the 220-yard breast stroke event.
 Using a butterfly version of the breast stroke, she covered the dis- tance in 3 minutes, 10.6 seconds at the Brookline Municipal pool last night to clip ll.4 seconds off the former mark for New England and approach within four seconds of the American record. Frances Howarth of Whitin A. 0. was second with Edna Soltysiak of the Olneyville Boys Club third.
 South American swimmers swept four other events, losing only the l0O-yard back stroke.

ist, but also c prophet-one with hardly c peer. They think he has made only one mistake in his song, that of employing the first person plural rather than singular.
 Mere than Q few seasoned critics, musical and otherwise, believe that Jenkins himself has been really through for some time and that when tho iB-round bout in Madison Square Garden is over he will hard ly bo in any condition to sing. The betting summarizes this sentiment, Tho odds are e-B that Angott VIII mop up the ex-Soidior thoroughly.
 The figures appear sound. If Jen. klns i9 to win, and after the sorry spectacle he has made of himself against his recent opponents Q tri- umph would Do quite . shock, he must win quickly and cd 1t with his Vaunted punch. And that doesn't figure to De easy, either. To date, no boxer hos kept Angott on the floor long enough for the referee to count 10.
 This bout comes on the heels of Q similar match which wrapped up the loose threads in the middle weight division, In that one, the MEAS world champ, Tony zale, decisively pummeled the New York state world title-holder, deorgiG Abrams. After tonight the various ranks should Do in the best shape even that hardy perennial, Dumb Dan Morgan, can recall.
 The same probably won't be true Of Jenkins. The public has taken Q lot from this iiaeogTigible bag of bones and bristle on the theory his yany antics were colorful. But now it Is obvious that the mean little scamp, whose bar room brawls have lef his face Joking like e relief map of Colorado, never did intend to give the customers Q fair shake.
 Can't Take It
 He has ignored the fundamentals of his trade to rely strictly oh his punch, The punch is c WOW, sure maybe the best ever in the l36- pound ranks. But in itself it isn't sufficient equipmen for Q champ Every infighter Jenkins has faced has bleached his color so thorough ly he looked like c sheet. Then they have gone on to make ( bum out Of him without ado.
 Unless Jenkins has really worked ct his training the past two weeks Angott should win as he pleases to. night providing he doesn't tee ur his chin, . la Nou Nova, and dare the lightning to strike. For with Jenkins life has always been 0 song & new motorcycle stunt, or e new night club dido. If we see the last of him tonight, for one won't care. He would rather clown thar fight and If want clowns I'll take Joe E. Lewis, Jay c. F'lippen or Ol- sen and Johnson. You get them al $40 tops-not the $l2.5O and Sl7.5C tariffs charged by that genial phil. anthropist-Michael Strauss Jacobs Inc, Ltd, and COD.

BerteIi,, Notre Dame Star, Passed Up Hockey Career In Big Time"


 When Angelo Bortoii Bertelll of West Springfield decided to go to college 1t was a blow to the hopes of more than one hockey scout.
 The name, in the event you don't recognize 1t, is the tag of the young man who was so much in the spot light the past football season as the pass throwing ace of the Notre Dame eleven. Notre Dame went through the season undefeated, and with only one tie against 1t. The deadlock came on a wet and stormy day in New York against Army, a day so bad that 1t was impossible to throw passes with any degree of accuracy or at great length.
 But Bertelli, unless Notre Dame goes in for hockey or he can find @ place on an amateur team some where around South Bend, won't be able to follow his pet game this winter. His pet game is hockey, and he plays it better than he play foot ball, which is why the scouts were a bit upset whein he decided to go to college.
 He played high school and anna teur hockey around Springfield and was the outstanding player in that class of puck chasing. His fame was such that quite a few managers sought to sign him up. Both Spring field and the Bruins were after him. But the lure of college was too much.
 Bertelll Is only Q junior nov and he has two more winters at Notre Dame. Up to now he hasn't any in. tentiCii of cutting corners at coi- lege. So is wsIl be the winter oe lea4 before he can play professional hpckey-at least that's the way it stands now.
