Nova Camp Shows
Only Contempt for
Louis Mitt Power
By SIN FEEDER

Pompton Lakes, N. j.. Sept. "a
-lP)-Lou Nova tossed a final
righthand shot at spsrring partner
Johnny Aichers as the gong sound
ed, then leaned over the ropes and
remarked, This guys lot tough
er than Louis"
Which just goes to show you
how Louis the Yogi's fistic family,
all the way from the chef in the
kitchen, right up to and including
the blond Californian. himself,
feel about the heavyweight cham
pion who has been rated by many
the greatest fighter Of all time.
There is nothing but contempt
for the Joe Louis punching power,
his durability and even his heart
in this Lakeside camp OF the hero
Of the cosmic punch who has a
date with the bomber Monday
night in the Polo Grounds ring
in New York. Up here. the No.
/ boy is just another guy named
Joe.
What is II about Louis that
makes you fellows call him SUI
perman?" Nova pooh-poohed IN
between huddles with his dynamic
stance ard his hogi magic. "Sure,
he has been knocking over fellows
for more than five years, and he's
a pretty fair puncher. But do /
look like one of those has-beens
or never vases that he's grown
fat on?"
You had TO acknowledge the big
fellow might have something
there. He is bothered by mild
case OF incompatibility of the feet
and he does some things that look
smateurish in action. Yet no one
Louis has met up to now was as
powerful and as loaded with con-
fidence and what the swanky set
on Jacobs Beach call ticker.
Against l90-pounders in sparring
sessions, he looks like giant and
he manhandles them dizzy at close
quarters, tossing them around with
no more trouble than you'd have
buttoning your vest.
Although there are any number
Of experts who feel that Lou will
be lucky TO escape alive Monday
night, ard that whoever thought
up this match should be arrested,
the gambling guys are impressed
with Nova's condition and conf
dence. They've knocked the odds
down to to 81 in Louis favor,
which is the narrowest price on
the bomber in recent years, and
still Nova figures that's an out
and-out steal.
