 New York, Nov. 4.--(UP)-Prof. Walston Crocker Brown, who whammed the daylights out of Joe Louis about six months ago, gener- ously gave the Brown Bomber @ re. turn bout today. It was murder.
 Louis was knocked to all corners Of the Museum of Science and In- dustry by the professor. The Bomb CT was jabbed silly, caught right crosses on the jaw and finally the professor exploded right from Q dynamic stance that sent his op- ponent down for 8 count of i22.
 The professor, as you probably do not recall, is the man who in- structed Lou Nova in the science of what the fighter calls the dynamic stance and the coSmic punch. Shall we pass over in respectful silence what happened the night Nova got into the ring and began applying the professors theories against Louis?
 What, Again?
 Nova was defeated. but not the professor. He bounced back against Louis today with some new theories and, between blows directed ct the Bomber, announced that he was go- ing to resume his work with Nova.
 The beautiful thing about Prof. Browns bouts with Louis Is that the Bomber never has to train for them. He doesn't have to put on gloves and trunks either. Tn fact, he doesn't even have to show up. Several times he has been hundreds of miles away when the professor kayoed him. Prof. Brown merely takes his stance (dynamic, of ccurse), starts swinging and then announces that that is the way to lick the heavyweight champion. Poor Louis always looks terrible. Never gets in 6 punch. as Q matter Of fact.
 That was the way ik vas today. After Louis took his licking In ah- senfia (crudite stun, enn) the pro- fessor said he had a new technique 0 teach Nova. 1t applies the prin- ciples og fSncing~~tha ancient and honorable sport og opee, foil and aaber-to boxing.

fered Nova before the recent hos ttlitieS, the professor said:
 T advised Lou not to try to hloch Louis punch with gloves or elbowM Instead, I demonstrated how he must train his arms to move from the spine center and use them like two parrying swords. Against aKg punch. such a parry, if properly e1 ecuted, will be sure defense ana will open the way to a quick return punch"
 No OGaense
 The professor then explained t1aas Nova rejected this theory of de~ fense because it tired him too maiclS to practice 1t, but agreed t0 alGt the professors theories during 0e fensive action. Unfortunately, e your agent recalls the battle, Now never employed the professors the. ories at all because tho gods 0a battles decreed that he should navs CT be on the offensive that night.

Writing to local members of the National Recreation Association, John H. Goss president of the Sco- will Manufacturing Company today pointed out that a chance to play was a means of helping to insure that children will face the future courageously.
 "There has never been a time when children's precious heritage of happiness was in danger as 1t is to- day." he stated. "The right to have place and a chance to play must not be denied our children. This is especially important in times like these"
