PUNCH THAT LAID.
NOVA Low RANKS
WITH LOUIS BEST
RaowN BOMBER rEMpoHaa.
lily PULLS DOWN CURTAIN
ON RING ACTIVITIES wrra
HIS BEST STUNT
By DILLON GRAHAM so
Sports Editor. AP Feature isarv;-a

NEW YORK, Oct. There
was the punch that felled GAL
lant Jim Braddock, the blow that
uprooted Pauline Uzcudun. the
blast that paralyzed Max Schme-
ling. These were the great
Louis punches and to these must
be added the right hand smash
that destroyed Lou Nova.
1t was one of Joe's master
pieces. 1t was thrown so speedik
that those at the ringside had
difficulty following it. 1t came so
quickly that Nova had no de-
tense. so quickly that he
couldn't thrust up an arm to
partially block it or duck or
swerve his head. it was a Bulls
eye.
1t could be compared with the
clout that stopped Pauline. 1t
was just as sudden. There was
no action leading up to it. 1t
was just as clean and devastat-
ing blow but not quite as dead
center as the punch six years
ago that caught the Spaniard
flush on the mouth.
Nova dropped. in the closing
minute of that sixth round, as
though he had been felled by a
pole-axe. That one punch was
the only blow that hit him. He
dropped so quickly that Louis
did not have an opportunity to
land another punch or two to
send him on his way.
Although Nova gameiY got
up and tried to continue. he
was too dazed to Withstand the
attack of Louis. the greatest
finisher in boxing history.
That gameness, in the sixth
round and earlier when he with
stood furry in the fourth and
came back with all guns firing,
was about all that Nova could be
praised for.
He was awkward and muscle
bound and most of his punches
were laughably wide. He did land
one swell right on Joe's jaw IN
the fifth.
Tn triumph ends gossip that
Louis has slipped. He has new
or thrown a harder cor more
perfectly timed punch than the
one Nova caught.
It appears now that Joe just
wasn't sufficiently interested to
do Class A job on the other foes
he has met in recent months.
That is, except Conn. Conn's
speed definitely had Louis trou-
bled.
Louis, pulling down the cur
tain on his ring activities at
least Temporarily, observed the
old stage axiom of leaving the
audience with his best stunt
fresh in its minds. Louis fame
has been built around that dyna-
mite punch and his Nova finish
er was a perfect example OF
Lous' best bombing.
