Dellicurti, Man of Action Opposes
 Robinson Friday
New York. Nov, a--'Tt was a great

New York. Nov a--'Tt was a great fightl"
 Victor Dellicurti, Harlem middle weight. has probably heard this comment more often than any boxer in action today,
 Because Dellicuru decided a long time ago that there was another way Co be successful in boxing be- sides winning a title. He Is a sen- ssble lad who realized that perhaps. he did not have what it takes to become a champion but that hes6id possess what 1t takes to be pleas ing fighter,
 Therefore he specialized in pleas ing the crowd. This meant that he often had to take chances that he ordinarily would not have taken if he had his eye on a title shot, But it made him successful in the sense that no fighters services are more eagerly sought by New York pro- motors than those of Dellicurti,
 He believes in making exciting contests, in giving the fans their moneys worth to the full. Garden spectators will recall his thriller with sammy Sacreet on the Angott- Montgomery program last March, Q thriller that had the fans standing on their feet and shouting them- selves hoarse through eight nerve tingling rounds.
 Walloped Conner
 Nor are they likely to forget his punch-feSt against Indian Gomez on the Wright Costantino card in Sep. tember, pier-sixer which com pletely stole the show from the main eSenters as Dellicurti smashed his way 10 the decision,
 That's the kind of fight Victor DellicurH will make against Ray Robinson unbeaten welterweighs contender, when they square of for scheduled ten-round fray at Madison Square Garden Friday night.
 More than than, he thinks his ag- greSsive tactics, his body-punching ability, his ten-pound weight advan- tage, his tremendous powers of en- durance. and his experience will carry him to victory over the col- ored sensation.
 Never in his career has Dellicurti been more eager to win. Because Victor is IA in the draft and expects to be called soon. He wants to go, too, but he wants to take with him the memory of a climactic evening in his career, the night he licked Ray Robinson,

BOTH LEADERS
 HAVE WON IS
 GAMES TO DATE
Three Hold Mercy High Single of l76-Sixteen
 Teams Roll Tonight

One of the oddities disclosed by the current standings of the Indus trial and Mercantile Bowling leagues, both of which will have another "goe at the pins tonight at the MAttatuck and Sena alleys, Is that the leaders of the two leagues, American Brass of the Dusty loop and Brookside Dairy of the Mer- cantile league have each won is games, Brass has the best record for it has lost but two of le games rolled, while the Brooks have dropped Ave of the 2i tests during the past seven weeks.
 Jimmy Barber's bowling ln be- half of the second place Metropoli- tans was the standout individual performance of the Merky circuit last week, as the well.known chin. scraper rolled a l52 single and 420 set. though his team was topped, 2-i. by MatEkin Furniture. Cone started well for the Metros with l47 but dropped to Ills and then 9l ln the last two games,
 Big String
 Another interesting comparison is that the Mercantile leagues high single to date of l76 is owned by no less than three bowlers-Benny Marcoux of Ftlltons; Nick White of BrooRsides; and Pete Kozak. new member of the Verriker Painters. Mike Sharon's 4S3 is tops for set to date. In the Dusty loop, Wolf of Waterbury Tool holds the high single and set marks with l73 and 42l, while American Brass has 697 game that is apt to stand up for the remainder of the season.
 sharon and Barber in the Merky loop are waging a drive for the high average leadership which the for mer now holds about l27 against i24 for JB to date.
 A titanic tussle Is on tap tonight between the l-2 teams of the Dusty circuit, American Brass and Farrel Foundry, which is expected to pro- vide the feature match at the Mat tatuck alleys.
 Tonight's schedules call for the following action;
 Industrial League
 Scovill Vs. Waterbury Tool.

 Began Before Pearl Harbor

On September l. ls4l, four bowl ing leagues in Auburn, Indiana, voted to buy Defense stamps with their Sl ,690 prize fund On September Is the Liberty league, Tulsa, Oklahoma, voted to buy De- fense stamps with their prize money
 Two groups whose foresight was prophetic.
 On December 2 Wally Martin. member of the American Bowling Congress, Honolulu, was killed by Japanese bombers. The bowlers of Hawaii disbapded all leagues and gave generous portions of their prize money to his relatives and to many ether bowlers who were injured in that never-to- be forgotten raid.
 On December l2 the ABC pur- chased $i5000 in War Bonds. The Women's International Bowling Congress bought $20,00o. City Asso- citations purchased bonds in out standing amounts: Chicago $7,500; Milwaukee, $4.00O; Detroit, $6,7O0; Cleveland $2.500.
 The ABC began to receive letters from every state from bowlers. from operators and league officials offering hundred of plans whereby bowling was utilized in the sale of War Stamps. The following Chicago leagues voted stamp purchases: Randolph. $3,O00; Tam OIShanter, $2.700; Merchandise Mart, $2,200.
 The Milwaukee Bowling Associa- tion mailed 600 Christmas packages to former members in the Services, each containing a tin of cigarettes and other gifts Members of Rcseville. Michigan, team smashed their "blow" kitty bank to get at $l25 with which to purchase five bonds.
 Plenty Of Action
 Max Sievert. owner of the Holly wood alleys, Milwaukee, offered to match the purchases of all his leagues. They bought S2.500 in De- fense stamps so he purchased S2,- 800 in bonds By January s, l942, it was announced that bowling leagues and associations had pur- chased $l74,000 in Defense stamps and bonds Then things began to hum.
 Pat Welch, Detroit policeman, be- gan selling leagues plan whereby each member pledged to buy a stamp each league night. His biggest sale involved the lOO-team. 500- member Mantle Club. each of whose members began purchasing a $l stamp weekly. Their total ran up to over Sl2.000.
 League after league began con- verting prize lists into stamps; tour naments began to pay of in like manner. Special matches for Red Cross, USO and other worthy or ganizations were staged. Every league and every bowling alley had a stunt" all its own. Originally ran riot! The bowling front saw over 100000 men from their membership leave for training camps last season. Those left behind closed up their ranks with older or younger men, bought more bonds, planned more A-ud-sellin9 stunts.

Houston, Texas, held Bond Tournament resulting in sales of $70,000 Shreveport, Louisiana, realized sales of $S7,000 by a simi- lar method The Southeastern California operators gave the entire receipts of one days business to a cigarette fund for soldiers in near- by camps. realizing Si0,o00.
 The Duck Pin Associations of Baltimore and Washington. just as much in the thick of the fight as their tenpin brothers out west, staged monstrous tournaments in which $20o,000 was converted into stamps and bonds,
 In Cincinnati, the "7th" frame supplanted the famous drink frame. Each man on a team paid his nickel, high man receiving a 25c War Stamp. Everybody in that sec- tion adopted it overnight Spe- cial Hitler and Hirochito- painted pins in the Southwest cost a bowler fine when he failed to knock them down In St. Paul, a bowler started a penny ante" game be- tween two teams in a league match in which nine men paid a cent into the stamp kitty when the tenth man doubled" Under such a scheme the boys frequently paid three or four cents frame, had lots of fun, and built up highly inflated stamp kittys which mounted to hundreds of dollars.
 Late in the season the Detroit War Stamp staff announced that Detroit bowlers had purchased over a million dollars in stamps Chi cago operators purchased and sold over $300,000 in September It was announced in June that bowl CTS. through their organizations, had purchased over $20. 900. 900 in stamps and bonds. Thousands of bowlers, as individuals, belong to the 10 per cent clubs of the nation while the remainder follow other methods of budgeting their purchases.
 Free Bowling
 The operators of Chicago called a meeting of their 200 members late in August. On September 10 they announced that they had raised funds for the installation of 12 new alleys for the Service Center at the Auditorium Hotel. The operators agreed to finance all subsequent costs so that any uniformed mem- Der of the armed services may bowl free in this center for the duration.
 During the summer. officials of the six national bowling organiza- tions began planning how best to as- sist the national war effort. As a result, the Bowlers Victory Legion was organized September 27 to rep- resent all factors in bowling and is now recognized as the national clear ing house for all wartime bowling benefit promotion.

ASHBAUGH THROWS BALL FARTHER THAN BERTELLT

Ashbaugh can throw the ball farther with accuracy than either Angelo Bertelli or John Creevey. His biggest thrill so far was throwing a 70-yard touchdown pass to Bob Dove while they played for Youngstown's South High.
 Ashbaugh is the man Notre Dame pulled out of the hat.
 The wonder is how he was kept in it until his junior year was well under way.
 The story of Pete Ashbaugh is additional evidence of the vast amount of football material under the golden dome of old Notre 2ame.
