Zivic Sued By

New York. Nov. 24-(UPl-Legal action against former welterweight champion Fritzie zivic has been instituted in Manhattan supreme court by light-heavyweight Melio Bettina and his manager. Jimmy Grippe, to recover $i8,000 which they allege they lost when a fight to be promoted by zivic failed to come of.
 The bout, according to Grippe, was to be between Bettina and Harry Booo at Pittsburgh on June 24 and although Bettina and Grippe apparently closed negotiations with Zivic in the role of promoter. the contest never was staged when the Pennsylvania boxing commission re- fused ts sanction.

 Newton, Mass, Nov. 24--(UP)- Gilmour (Gloomy GiD Dobie, who d the spade work that gave Bos- ton college one Sugar Bowl winner, said today that the present un- beaten eleven is @ good team--as good team as B. c. ever had"
 Don't believe that this is the greatest football team of all time" he cautioned, however. 'There have been hundreds of others just as good-perhaps better. I'd say Boston college is just a real good team, but whether 1t is better than some of the southern teams, l don't know. I haven't seen the Georgias play.
 Tt seems to me that the south- ern teams have had more rugged schedule. I don't think that the teams that Boston college has play ed were at their usual form this year because of the war. Fordham certainly wasn't the usual Ford ham team. Neither was Clemson. But that also might mean that B. c. never has really extended it. self"
 Keeps in Touch ..
 Though he resigned under fire as B. C.s head coach in 1899 with a record of 16 wins, six losses and one tie, Dobie has kept close watch of Boston college gridiron fortunes. He often talks with E:ad Coach Denny Myers and some have hinted he may be playing a man-behind- the-scenes role in guiding this years champions of the east. He denies this.
 Dobie said two things placed Boston college in the front ranks of wartime football.
 First, the squad has been free from injuries" he said. That is the thing that gives any team a likely chance of completing it's sea- son unbeaten. If every man is on the field every day, he naturally plays better football. You waste time coaching man all week only to have him turn up injured on Sf turday.
 Enthusiastic
 Another thing that has made Boston college football successful this year is the fact that the boys want to play football. They're out there every day, full of enthusiasm
 But of the entire team, two play CTS stand out in Dobie's eStima- tion. They are Halfback Mike Holovak and Right Guard Rocco Canale.
 I'd say that Holovak is probably the best man on the field" Dobit said. I'd say he wa sat least 2 per cent of the team. That ma! sound high, but if you take him ou of there, the teams chances of sue cess diminish greatly.
 "Canale also is a great boy, bu his greatness lies in the fact that he apparently loves to play foot. ball. He wants to practice all the time, he's ready to play every week That's the kind of football player any coach wants"

MIKE BELLOISE, EXCLAMATION,
 MEETS CARLO
Lightweights Fight Friday at Buckingham Hall;
 Freeman vs Wasnick
tBY HUGO HoOKJAB,

It's bene along time since any, one who follows the fortunes of local pugiliSts has been given e chance to see two such stalwartS of the ring, as will grace the Buck ingham hall Friday ngiht of this week, when Mike Bolloise, former worlds featherweight champion, from New York city, and Tony Ciarlo, the former local Slugger who has learned to box so well that he made a absolute sucker" out of Ruby Garcia when the pair met in a local ring a few weeks ago.
 Of course, Ciarlo fully realizes that in taking on Belloise, who was quite ringster not too long ago, he is not giving himself too much the best of it; but the fact re- mains that Mike the Spider has seen his best ring days; and like Ciarlo, is in the throes of 0 comeback that has seen both of them go along very well for the past three months or so. BelloiSe, brother of Steve, an outstanding middleweight, a year or so ago, and cousin of the north end family of the same name, will have to be at his very best to with stand the rugged Ciarlo, whose box ing will come in very handy against foe such as Mike, who can still handle himself against the swingers of the lightweight second division,
 Collins to Show
 In addition to the main go, one of eight rounds, the Waterbury A. c. matchmaking department has carded Q six rounder featuring Tom (KO) Collins and Ray Valarde of New York, the latter a s,ablemate of Belloise; and four round re- turn go between Pete Freeman of wolcott and Joey Wasnick of New Haven; whose last showing was a humdinger; WaSnick winning the nod, after seemingly wanting to quit suddenly, though he had big lead at the time, Both boys can punch and their bout alone should be very much worth while,
 Two local colored boys, who have their own followings, and have gen. erated some little feeling between them meet in a four round bait that may. produce a kayo. They the l56 >pounders; Ace Snow oi of Bishop street, and Billy Baker oi the North End. Both are heavy hitterS, Ace and Billy should provide plenty of action, for the coloreo championship" of the North End depends on the result.

Roofing for Victory

War inevitably brings in its train
demands for production. production
and still more production: and as it
happens that the only form of pro-
duction around the home that can be
carried on with little or no raw ma
terial or preparation is that of vege-
tables, there is compelling urge
despite the Department of Agricul-
lures dissent-to plant war gardens.
The old back yard, often formerly
devoted to broken bricks and bottles,
must be put to work and regimented.
The very idea of neat rows of growing
things brings to mind the former
conception OF an army, rank upon
rank of identical units in close order,
all roofing for victory.
But actually making a garden root
for victory is not so simple Lovers
of beautiful and inspiring fiction
read seed catalogues, think the whole
business is easy to the point of alb
surdity, and count their vegetables
before they are cooked. BY all
means raise war gardens, but not on
the outmoded strategy laid down by
that gay deceiver and prime cause Of
wishful thinking, the catalogue. Does
the catalogue give recipes for
strained muscles and blisters?
Hardly. It does not stress the ne
cessity of roofing out those fifth
columnists, saboteurs and non-
essential sappers of vitality, the
weeds. It is also guilty of under
estimating the japanese beetle, a
peculiarly unattractive and destruc-
tive little pest that looks for a place
in the rising sun.

The Prophet of Democracy

Fifty years ago today, March 26,
1892, Walt Whitman died at his home
In Camden, New Jersey. He had been
Ill for long time, and his work was
done. The friends who gathered for
his funeral were confident and sure
of his immortality. He would be re-
membered, they believed, for his
Leaves of GraSS"-the one great
book into which he had put the
harvest of his mind and his soul.
The larger public, however, was far
from convinced that he had been an
authentic poet. 1t was fashionable
to jest about his "barbaric yawp."
But Whitman himself had trusted
the people for whom he wrote. He
was one of them, his effort had been
employed in their behalf, he had
lived the principle of fellowship that
ne had taught; and his faith, five
successive decades now have shown,
was not misplaced. The democratic
bard also is the prophet of the demo-
cratic way of life, and the vast COM
pulsion of present events forces his
doctrine to the front as the right and
proper answer to the challenge of
tyranny in the world
Whitman had learned the neces-
sary lesson of tolerance and mercy
In Washington during the period of
the Civil War. To a degree unsur-
passed by any contemporary he had
appreciated Abraham Lincoln's dy-
manic conception of human society
exempt from servitude. The instinct
of his heart was as generously SYM
pathetic as that of the Captain about
whom he made the noble music of
when Lilacs Last in the Dooryard
Bloom'd." How universal was the
scope of his charity may be seen in
"Salut au Monde" Democratic
Vistas" and many other pieces"
OF course, Whitman had his faults.
He was, In fact. deeply conscious Of

Housing Loq

1t would be extremely unfortunate
II the disagreement which has de-
veloped between the House and Sen
ate over provisions Of the Lanham
Housing Act should result in any ad-
ditional delay in carrying out WASH
ington'S urgent war housing pro-
gram. There have been too many
delays already in Transforming paper
plans into the completed houses and
apartments needed to shelter thou
sands of the city's temporary war
time residents.
A few days after Pearl Harbor, De-
tense Housing Co-ordinator Palmer
announced an emergency program
calling for $4,000 family units and
$500 rooms. OF this total, 10000 Of
the family units were to be erected
by private builders, $500 family units
and $500 rooms by the Defense
Homes Corporation, a subsidiary Of
the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton, and $500 family units by the
Government itself. All of these were
to be completed by June 80 of this
year. Late in January the goal was
raised to $4,000 family units A sur
vey just made by The Star shows
that construction has begun on only
about 1882 family units and lbs
rooms, however, and that there is lit
tie likelihood that the housing goal
will be attained by the end of the
fiscal year.
Meanwhile, the Lanham bill has
made painfully slow progress at the
Capitol. Introduced in the House
on January % for the purpose Of
providing 10000 dwellings at a cost
of $50,00O,000 the bill was passed by
the House on February II and by the
Senate, after extended hearings, on
March 2. But the Senate's action
in boosting the bills total to S7O,-
100000 and in earmarking part Of
the funds for related public works
and for the so-called Goodwillie
housing program in Southwest
Washington caused the House to re-
sumo hearings on the measure. The
hearings have ended in rejection of
the Senate changes by the House

mittee, which presages a battle in
conference and possibly on the floor.
This may mean further delay in pas
sage Of the important legislation.

as it is, sense Of public duty should
