College Heads Favor
Giving Grid Revenue
Pools 10 Services
Notre Dame, Pitt Eager
To Take Up Western
Conference Policy
BY CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

CHICAGO. May 18.-The Big
Tens patriotic-proflt plan today was
expected to spread to other confer
ences and raise thousands OF dollars
for Army and Navy relief funds
during the football season.
The plan, approved by Big Ten
athletic directors at their annual
spring meeting, calls for the pooling
of all football revenue above the
grams. The money is to be con-
tributed in the name Of the Big Ten
Conference-not individual members
to the Army and Navy funds.
At South Bend, Frank Leahy,
Notre Danes football coach and
athletic director, said that such a
plan met with his approval and that
he would confer with school au-
thorities in regard to adopting it.
Patriotic profits also met with the
favor of Jimmy Hagen, Pittsburgh's
athletic director, and other headmen
outside the Big Ten who were at
the meeting.
Plan Gets Wide Approval.
Increased expenses, however, were
foreseen because of the support to
vast programs of physical fitness
courses.
The plan, which Maj. John L..
Griffith, athletic commissioner,
termed a climax to the Big Tens
preparedness program built up since
the last war, had wide approval.
Universities with no bonded in
debtedness will be expected to
contribute larger sums" he said.
Athletic budgets should be pared
as close as possible to raise the
contribution of profits.
I'VE have no idea what the profits
viii total. In smaller university
cities attendance may drop of at
football games because Of the tire
shortage.
I'VE have been building programs
Of physical fitness through athletics
ever since the last war taught us the
lesson that we needed able bodied
men," he asserted. LAS early as
1910, most of our members had
made physical education compulsory
and at present all have some phase
of conditioning courses.
Big Ten Generous in Help.
Every school also has given room
to house enlisted mems unit training
groups studying signal work. radio
or engineering. Most of these classes,
under direction of staff officers, are
held in gyms and field houses which
the Big Ten gladly has given to
save the necessity Of constructing
cantonments.
I'VE want to do our part, and this
latest plan of donating profits is
part of a program we have been
working on since 1918. I don't be-
lieve it has been suggested before in
the country and it surely wasn't
used by us In the last year"
Big Ten teams have II games
scheduled with service teams, in
cluding Camp Grant, Ill; Fort Knox
KY; Great Lakes Naval Training
Station and the Navy's pre-fight
training school at Iowa City, Iowa.
Proceeds in these games will be
split.
Notre Dame will play II games, In
eluding four with service elevens.

giving him a broken nose and a
terrific body pounding. But unless
you're catching you really don't
know how brutal that baby is In
there. I remember one fight when
he caught the other guy with a
left in close-he brought this one
up instead Of hooking and knocked
the fellow cold. Well, he crowd
couldn't believe it was a clean kayo.
They thought it was business fight
and give i'm the berry, but it was
just another one of those short
lefts that only a few ringsiders saw
and nobody thought was damaging.
But 1t was the real Mccoy"
DAILY still was eXtolling the latent
power of Savold's left when the
Des Moines gladiator bounced it off
the chin Of one Otis Harris, a spar
mate. 1t appeared more like play
full pat than a vicious hook, but
Harris-who takes a good punch
went down, landing squarely on the
seat Of his britches and wearing q
most surprised look.
There it Is" grinned DAILY.
Nothing to 1t, but look what 1t
does to them"
Nova, who had a rough session
with Villar and almost went down
twice when the Spaniard connected
first with a right to the midriff and
later with a vicious left to the jaw,
hasn't looked good in the gym with
the exception of tossing a strong,
straight right. Heretofore LOUIS left
has been his best weapon but those
well acquainted with the styles of
both men feel that he'll beat Savold
with the right or not at all. Lee
can be hit more easily with a right
than left, his drills have indicated,
and II he takes too many he'll pass
out of the picture.
Nova's Gym Showing Deceives.
A notoriously bad gym performer.
Nova is having all his troubles with
Villar but If he survives the training
period he'll be bad medicine for
Savold in actual competition.
I'VE know he's no good In train
ing" DAILY admitted. He appears
like q guy with two left feet who
can't get out of his own way, but he
straightens out in a real fight. I
never see nothing like 1t-how a guy
can make bad mistakes in training
and then turn around and do every
thing correct in a fight"
Nova isn't doing everything wrong
in training. far from it. He's bang
ing Villar with the right, clipping
him with an occasional left and
moving around like a lightweight.
He appears more and more like the
Nova who worked himself up to a
shot at the title, even though Villar
has all but drowned himself in glory
In their sessions. Lou appears to be
In excellent physical condition and
hasn't a mental worry in the world
Savold to him is merely the first vic
tim in q series of build-up fights he
expects to lead to a return shot at
Louis.
