ROBINSON WINS
 1277H STRAIGHT

there were no official knockdowns Only once did Dellicuru hit the deck. That was in the fifth, when he tripped, bouncing back, and slipped to the canvas for no count,
 Robinson gave Dellicurti sav- age battering in the ninth and had his blood-spattered opponent all most out at the bell. Then he laid off. Asked about this in the dress ing room, Robinson said, "Please don't ask me If I let him stay, It would be wrong for me to answer that, Why you just use your own judgment about it."
 Robinson, who as usual suffered bruised knuckles on both hands, will tangle in a return bout with lazy Janaazzo at Cleveland, Des. |, Then he will meet an opponent yet to be selected, at Philadelphia, Des l4. After that he will campaign on the Pacific coast, meeting welters or middleweights whoever can give me fight"

LOU NOVA GIVES
 NORDMAN LESSON

Portland, Ore, Nov. 2 = O.P)- Lieutenant Lou Nova of the Call fornia state guard won his first ring victory in IT months last night.
 The victim of Nova's non-cosmic punch was Ernie Workman. third rate coast heavyweight. who went down four times in the fourth round at the Civic Auditorium before the referee halted the contest.
 Workman was outclassed and it was just a question of time before Nova would kayo him.
 Workman landed one solid blow a left hook to the jaw-which mo- mentarily delayed the outcome. He was forced to retreat as fast as he could through most of the second and third rounds. however.
 Nova, a physical instructor in the guard. weighed 206 1-l; Nordman, 104 Ia.

New York, November 2. - (UPl Notre Dame, seeking its fifth straight victory, ard Army. hoping to get back into winning form af- ter being toppled from the unde- feated ranks by Penn last week, met at Yankee Stadium today be- fore what promised to be the largest crowd of the football season.
 Although a few grandstard tickets still were available. Army authori- ties confidently predicted the ca- pacity of 76.O00 for one of the country's leading gridiron rivalries.
 Notre Dame ruled at s to 2 favor ite. Those odds were established on the theory that Army's two star backs. Hank Mazur and Ralph Hill, would be available for only limited duty because of injuries received last week.
 It will be the 29th meeting of the two teams. Notre Dame has won 20. Army five and three were ties. including the scoreless deadlock of last season.

 That's why we hope that the men at the top will permit major league baseball, college football and big-time boxing to survive. Because the deeds of the big-time athletes under the spotlight--the civilian athletes-provide an incentive for the men in uniform to do a better job.
 Every assistance should be given for stimulating competitive ath- letics among American girls-in basketball, softball and swimming. particularly. An interest in athlet- les will help our girls immeasur- ably in doing their jobs in defense factories. offices or home.

Washington budget are estimated as
follows: Food, $56252; clothing,
