Frank Dixon of St. Francis Prep was third.
 Not So Bad

 United Press Stan CorrespOndent)
 New York, March 26--( -(uP)-The ,ldest system of self discipline snown to man lost It's most famous lpostle today. Standing on his feet instead of hi5 head and munching fist full of meat balls instead of yulping air, Sahib Lou Nova ended Iome Ave months of breathless sus- ;ense with the announcement that he had given Yoga back to the HinduS.
 The big California heavyweight has shaved of his beard, cancelled the hour he devoted daily to con- temptation of ageless mysteries and abandoned hope of some day win aing the world title through activi- Hes purely mental. Last, but hardly east, he has said goodbye forever 0 that most delightful of all boxing nventions--the cosmlc punch.
 Nova reached his decision at Q 'acetrack.
 My belief in the value of yoga vas somewhat weakened the night Joe Louis hit me on the chin, but { decided that 1t was only fair to rive the mysteries one more chance" ae explained as he moved from the neat balls to @ platter of sausages, After all, the trouble in that fight 'ould have been with me instead of with the Hindu teachings.
 "So l took the good book and went put to Hlaleah Park down in Flor da. I bought a program took out ny wallet and concentrated, l ate couple of quarts of air and before ,ach race I'd sneak into the mems 'oom and stand on my head for few minutes. But 1t was no good. Either haven't what 1t takes or yoga hasn't. I never saw the cashiers window"
 Quits YOga
 Nova finished the sausages and ,egan working on some cold ham md beer. He said he spent three lays at Hialeah, bet every race on he program and picked only one winner. That didn't do him a bit f good because he tore up the Tong ticket. So he began thinking nd he concluded that Yoga and he we're quits. But hold on, men, he aas found something else.
 It is Lou Novaism."
 Lou Novaism," he explained, isn't quite as profound as Yoga. 1t consists of only four things hard training, hard punching, win aing the heavyweight title and then retiring to Hollywood and making several motion pictures that will clean up several million dollars. Really, 1t is quite simple. Here, why don't you try a few of these baked beans"
 Mixing the beans with a gob of shrimp salad, Lou reached in his pocket and came up with several thousand press clippings extolling his talents as a Thespian. He spent two weeks acting in stock in Miami and ell the reviewers wrote great praise of Nova's work. They liked his physique, his muscles and his fOotWork. Curiously, they didn't mention acting.
 Diet
 'T. was q w0w," he continued, striking a pose. T think I'd be much better fixed if, after I win the title, I retired sndefeated right tn Hollywood. I'd like to make some pictures demonstrating the value of physical fitness, hard work and care 9ul dieting. Hand me tlaat tilykay

BOSTON BRUINS
 DEFEND STANLEY CUP TONIGHT.
Chicago BIackhawks Are Rated Even Chance to
 Win on Hub Ice

Boston, March 26. - (Up) -- The end of the saddest season in Boston hockey history may come tonight when the Boston Bruins tangle with the Chicago Blackhawks in the de- ciding game or series "B" in the Stanley cup playoffs.
 Unless the Brins suddenly become c coordinated squad, they face eliIn- ination by the Hawks on home ice in defense of their Stanley cup title.
 Both teams have won @ game in this best-of-three series for e serni- finalist berth. The Bruins seemed assured of advancing when they won the opener in overtime ct Chicago, 2-l, Sunday night, but they played like inexpert amateurs Tuesday night and were bianked, 40, by the wilk-skating Hawks at Boston Garden.
 Even Game
 Betting is about even on tonight'S fray ct Boston Garden, and this is indicative of BoStons tumble from It's once proud position as rulers of the worlds fastest sport.
 At the start of the season with Q background of three straight Ma tIonal League championships and two Stanley cup titles in three years. the Bruins were called the Yankees of Hockey. On home ice, they virtually were invincihle.
 They quickly battled their way to the top of the league. But then came 6 series of injuries to three of their players, rated the leagues best in their positions. Tn rapid order, goalie Frank Brimsek, defenseman Dit Clapper and center Bill Cowley were sidelined. Then the kraut line, hockey's top two-way unit, joined the RCAF. Cowley and Brimsek returned to action, but the patched up team wound up third in the reg ular season.

waukec youngster fails to hit. Bobby Estalella, who split last season be- tween the Browns and Toledo has been known to swat Q long ball. He is getting an attack Of mumpS out of the way in time.
 Harris Is sure Frank CroucheT can play second, but the man De- troit traded for Jim Bloodworth doesn't figure to help the Nat's hitting.
 Jim Vernon was Q pleasant sir- prise as the loops top first base man in i94i. Jimmy Pofahl is around aS an inheld reservist. FLEET CASE TYPIFTRS NATS' LACK OF PUNCH
 Roberto Ortis. answers the dee mand for more punch in the out- field, but is no DiMaggio on de- fenSe.
 Fleet George Washington Case typfieS the Senators lack of wal- lop. Stan Spence, currently in center-Aeld, batted only .232 for the Red Sox. EStalella may sup plant him If Stan Gale comes through at third.
 Harris E counting on Bruce Campbell for the badly needed long ball, especially in the early going.
 Washingtons probable starting pitchers are Emil Leonard, Sid Hudson, Jack wilson and Early Wynn, with Alejandro Carresquel, Walter MaSterSon, Phillip McCul- tough and Hardin Cathey making earnest bids.
 Steve Sundra and Bill zuber are relief workers. With Kendall Chase swapped for Wilson, Bill Kennedy is the only Southpaw which doesn't hurt the chances of the six-foot one-inch Virginian from Charlotte. Arnold Ander- son, employed as @ fireman last trip, awaits his call to the colors. EARLY AND EVANS MAKE STRIDES AS CATCHERS
 If Second stringer Al Evans gets reclassifed into 3-A, Bill Dickey will have to throw another good year to make the Yankees catch ing superior to that Of the Grihs. First Stringer Jake Early and Evans have made long strides since they understudied Rick Fer rell two years ago.
 But to get back to Robert willis RepaSs, tthis 25-year-old, Six-foot one, 18O-pound French Canadian of Hartford, is the talk of the camp. Bob RepaSs is a refugee from St. Louis Cardinal chain gang, having been drafted from Columbus for $7600. While he goes in for short hits, he batted sS17 last season.
 Another who has made his presence felt with pun:h-he beat the Giants twice in three days with pinch hits - is little Eddie Lyons, an 1e-year-old Raleigh schoolboy who cost the Mats nary a penny.
 There are early bright spots. of course, and the pitching is good.
 But only an optimistic bloke like Bucky Harris can make the Washington club look any more formidable then it appears on paper.
