American Cities
Plan for Future

American cities are blueprint
ing to rebuild on large scale
when the men and materials OF
wartime production are put to
peace-time work. The specific
manner In which one great city
should be rebuilt is proposed in a
report on downtown Philadelphia
Just issued to its members by the
Urban Land institute.
Designed to conserve and en-
nance the huge assets inherent in
Philadelphia's central business dis
trict; to reclaim into attractive
neighborhoods large sections of
close-in properties where blight
and decay have made inroads; TO
improve transportation facilities to
and from the downtown business
district. and at the same time to
relieve traffic congestion there,
this timely report of the Urban
Land institute contains thoughtful
and constructive proposals based
upon a thorough study by its spe
cisi representative. Richard J

MAURIELLO MEETS LEE SAVOLD FRIDAY

New York. Oct. 24-Lee Savold, the midwest heavyweight who now makes his home in Paterson. N. J., has compiled a highly commend able ring record SO far this year. And he hopes to add to that record when he faces Tami Mauriello, Bronx better, iu a scheduled ten- round bout at Madison Square Gar den next Friday night.
 Savold started of the year 1942 by registering three knockout yic- tories in a row. finishing of Ne- vile Beech in four rounds at Wash- ington, D. C.: Teddy Wint in nine rounds at the Coliseum in the Bronx; and Wallace Cross in nine rounds at Newark.
 The Kayo string was halted when Savold had to content himself with a round decision over Jack Marshall in Toledo but Lee then came through with his most im- portant triumph.
 That was his knockout win over Lou Nova in Washington last May 25. Tn that contest Nova turned in one of his better performances. But Savold was more than equal to the task at hand. He was punching in rare form and finally, in the eighth round, the referee was forced to stop the contest and award the fight to Savold.
 Two With MustO
 Two months later Savold en- countered Bill Poland in Toledo and hammered him into submission in nine rounds. Then came his only setback of the year. He dropped 8 disputed ten-round verdict to Tony Musto in washington. Three weeks later, however. he faced Musto in return match in Detroit and this time there was no question about the victor. Savold won with plenty to spare.
 In his last start prior to com- mencing his training for the Mauri- clio match next Friday Savold trounced Johnny Flynn in Akron, Ohio, fiattening Flynn in four heats.
 Thus far this year Savold has engaged in nine contests, scoring six knockouts, two point victories, and losing one decision which he quickly reversed.
 Two weeks ago he opened train ing quarters at Greenwood Lake, N. J., in preparation for the Maurt- ello bout and he is already close to peak form.
