MaurieIIO 9 To 5
 Over SavoId Tonight

New York, Oct. 3o-(UP)-Tami Mauriello of New York is favored at 9-5 to lick Lee Savold of Pater- son, N. J., tonight in their 10-round bout at Madison Square Garden a bout that will mean much in de- termining ultimately the duration heavyweight champion"
 Mauriello, 22, is favored because of his youth, punch and recupera- tive ability. Savold will outweigh him about 190 pounds to 184, but Mauriello is considered the sharper puncher and man who can sur- vive punishment much better than Savold.
 Tonight's winner meets Jimmy Bivins of Cleveland at the Gar den; November 27. The victor of that bout will have taken a long stride toward the interim" heavy weight title.

pect for youngster who is barely 20.
 An ankle crushed in a fall down a 35-foot embanknent when Mauriello was 13 turned out to be an asset rather than a handicap. The in- jured ankle twisted the Bronx Ital- ian's foot in such a way that he has to walk on his outer heel. This pre- vents his back-tracking with any kind of speed in the ring. So he wades in stands still and slugs it out when pressed.
 Tami Mauriello is my choice to successfully hurdle Lee Savold, even his score with Jimmy Bivins and to wear the rather tarnished civilian heavyweight crown until victory is achieved.

|MauriellO- Winner To
 Battle BivinS For Civilian Title
Ohio Negro
 Newest Big Heavy Name
By HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

New York, Oct. 30-Because the financial arrangements for their contemplated second edition shocked Secretary of War Stimson to such an extent that he called the whole thing off, there is every sign that the fight mob has seen the last of Sgt. Joe Louis and Corp. Billy Conn until the boys come home.
 So the civilians fight 1t out.
 Tami Mauriello, Lee Savold, Jimmy Bivins and Bob Pastor are remindful of front men of old vaud- eville days-those who dished out rapid banter while headliners put on grease paint.
 Mauriello and Savold box 10 rounds at Madison Square Garden, tonight, for the right to engave Biv- ins in the same rong, Nov. 27. BIVINS GETS THERE
 ON SPLIT DECISIONS
 That one easily could be billed as being for the street clothes heavy weight championship, irasmuch as Bivins is the newest big name among the big boys.
 Bivins, 8 sneaky right-hand puncher out of Cleveland, scaled the

heights by tkaing split decisions from Mauriello and Pastor in his old home town. But for the fact that draws are out in Cleveland, both of these matches might have been declared even-Stephen. Both were as savagely fought as they were close.
 With the help of Pastor and Mauriello, Bivins lifted Cleveland boxing from the dumps to $35,00C gates. He was on a patriotic card which drew $98, 900.

While he turned in good per- formance against Bivins several weeks ago, Mauriello complained of the intense heat and was obviously of.
 It is not difficult to hit either Sav- old or Mauriello, but one of the lat- ter's biggest assets is his ability to take a clout as a normal occupa- tional occurrence, ard to keep dish- ing it out.

Yale university's football team, in- vigorated by the addition of nearly 10 freshmen to the first string squad within the past two weeks. was hopeful today of extending its winning streak to two games tomor- row against Brown in the Yale Bowl.
 But there was no over confidence in the camp of Coach Howie Odell and the Ellis. They realized that Brown was a tough customer, de- feated only once this season. The New Haveners will be putting on the pressure every minute against the invaders from Providence.
 Stan Weiner and Bob Pickett, freshmen backs who performed so ably against Dartmouth week ago, probably will see heavy action in tomorrow's game, and other year. lings also may get into the fray be- fore it is over.
 Other Games
 Elsewhere in Connecticut: The D. S. Coast Guard academy team, most powerful of the small college elevens in the state, tackles Rensselaer, at New London. The service team was favored.
 The University of Connecticut squad stacks up against Middlebury away, and the Connecticut team was in for a hard session.

BEARS CLOSE TO Al RECORD GRID PACE

Chicago. Oct. S0-(SpeciaO-The mighty Chicago Bears juggernaut isn't rolling along quite as reckless ly this fall from statistical stand point. but the 1942 edition of George Halas' wonder machine has retained the most important fea- ture of the original model.
 It still makes touchdowns and scores points on a wholesale basis. Ofilcial figures released today reveal the Bears to be only six-tenths of a point of the record pace they maintained last year in setting Q new league standard 10 S96 points in eleven games.
 McAfee, Standlee and company produced touchdowns at the rate of five and one eleventh per contest last fall. only one-eleventh of Q touchdown more than dallarneau. Mclean and company have been able to achieve per game SO far.
 By way of off-setting these acc. complishinents, the figures also re- veal that the champions are com. hitting fouls and being penallzed at greater clip than they did a year ago when they set new record of 6T6S yards for eleven games. That vas an average og eIB yards on seven penaltise per afternoon. This year they have been set back at the rate Of e.l times and e0.0 yards a game.

ed and many prisoners, Pravda said.
 The Russian counter er-attacks on the Kharkov and Bryansk fronts were regarded by Moscow observers as diversions designed to break up a reported InaSsing of German forces in the Taganrog- Rostov area at the top of the Sea of Azov, pre- sumably for 6 full-for0e attempt to open the northern gateway to the Ukraine.
 Last month Timoshenko's Russian offensive at Kharkov, where the Germans are striving now to regain their lost positions. was credited with knocking out 00,000 German troops and breaking up preparations for Nad offensive ct Rostov.
 The battle of Sevastopol contin- lled without let-up after l6 days of fighting estimated here to have cost the Germans somewhere between 100000 and t25, 1000 men.
 A Russian communique acknow- ledeged that the Germans, in super for force and with masses of heavy tanks had smashed their way into into the northern defenses yester- day.
 Fighting was continuous and des- perate at Sevastopol. The defenders were taking 8 heavy toll as they rec pulsed repeated attacks by German infantry and tank units.
 or Sevstopol in the Black Sea, two small sloops battled two Ital- ian torpedo boats yesterday, dis patches said, and machine gunned an enemy submarine which crash- dived and disappeared. It could not be determined whether the submar- inc was damaged seriously
 British See Naxis Ahead
 British observers believed that although some forts north of Sevas- topol harbor might still be in Rus- sian hands, the Germans had reach- ed the north sho Q of the harbor in at least one point. The naval base is located on that shore, they point ed out, and said 1t must have been useless for several days with Ger man artillery moving forward in support of its infantry.)
 However, the high commands first communique today contained only the usual laconic report of "No lln- | portant changes on the entire front during the night"
 The. situation at Sevastopol was considered grave, but the outlook for the entire l,SO0-mile front was not as dark as a year ago today when Adolf Hitler sent his legions into the western provinces.

disastrous phase of the Libyan campaign with the best equipped army the British had ever put into the desert. His answer to the ques- tion everyone is asking is: Lack of aggressive spirit"
 Cannot Blame Troops
 That is no reflection upon the fighting troops themselves. They fought doggedly, tirelessly, bravely and determinedly. But in the direc- ton of the entire fighting machine there seemed a disposition to wait and see rather than act. N
 At headquarters, out in the desert, this question was heard often: T wonder where Rommel will hit next?"
 Throughout the campaign the British never counter attacked on the scale of which they were cap- able. When they got Rommel's forc- es inside their mine fields, instead of attacking they dallied for days and then their effort was on @ pal try scale.
 A remark often heard around headquarters was:
 Don't let Rommel become a bogey." Nevertheless, he was a bogey to many of the British higher ups. , There were two big features to the campaign: The German use of 88-millimeter (3.46-inch) anti- tank guns and the disastrous am- bush into which British armored forces fell.
 Some here call the German guns 6 surprise. But why? The British knew the Germans had them. But the British continued to rely on a 25-pounder gun with 8 shorter range. The Germans kept the Brit. ish tanks out of range of their tanks and shelled them at will with their longer range artillery.
 Then there was the disastrous sortie by British tanks which tried to break through from southwest of Tobruk and get on the southern flank of the Germans. They ran irl- to hidden batteries of the deadly anti-tark guns.
 The Royal Air Force kept the British disaster from being even gerater than 1t was.

Kalinin said in the government newspaper Isvestia that the German army no longer Is powerful enough to execute a general offensive along the whole front"
 Soviet leaders were supremely confident of ultimate victory and regarded the recent reverses in the Crimea as "snall eposides in the changing fortunes of war;. They believed the Red Army, supported by Q country now totally organized for war, was stronger than in 1041 and able to rush whatever on- slaughts Hitler's promised new of. fensive might bring.
 Sevastopol was holding for the 18th day of the all-out German of- fensive, but cornn1unique admit. ted that the enemy, in one of the most furious battles of the war, had succeeded in penetrating the fort resS' defenses at one point.
 1O6,00O Naxis Destroyed
 During two weeks of unrelenting battle, at least seven Axis divisions, approximately l05,OOO men, had been destroyed, Russian sources es- timated. These included i've Ger man and two Rumanian divisions, part of the Axis force which has besieged the Black Sea naval base for eight months.
 The army newspaper Red Star said the Sevastopol situation "re- mains tense," with the Germans in- creasing their pressure. Twice within 24 hours, 1t said, the Soviet defenders threw back enemy infan- try attacks supported by tanks and planes. ~
 The Germans made Q third et- tack, Red Stars correspondent said, and under pressure from superior enemy forces the Soviet troops re- treated to intermediate positions and on the way kept exhausting the enemy and inflicting heavy losses"
 Gen. Fritz Erich von Manstein brought up fresh divisions to storm the bastion from the northern and southern sectors, dispatches said. His regulars having been destroyed or exhausted, he was using reservistS from supply Attachments, they re- ported.
 Germans Grow Fieroer
 @Despite their losses, however, 1t was evident that the German at- tacks were becoming fiercer. Waves of German planes attacked contan- uously.

JAP INVASION E

CcontInued from Page l)

(Continued from Page D first announcements on enemy &C., tion in the Aleutians reported that Japanese vessels had been seen in Kiska .llarbor, one of the best na- tliral anchorages in the Aleutian chain.
 The navy indicated that the in- yasion force on Kissa, like that one AttU, was small. It said "tents and minor temporary structures were ob- served to have been set up on land"
 The weather has been the major factor on action in and around the Aleutians, and thus far has been favorable to enemy operations. There has been no mention in com muniques yet of any fleet action In that area, all reports referring only to aerial activity.
 Saturday spokesman for the 18th naval district ct Seattle said the acc ton in the Aleutians was "a strange struggle of give and take" with the enemy getting smacked whenever there is rift in the fog banks.
 "It's a weird, wild country up here" he said. ''There are great patches of fog and rain in which an enemy can hide. As 8 band of guerillas may hide in the bush. There are literally thousands of small bays and inlets. The Japs know the country, but 50 does the navy"
 Officials here believe the Japan csc objective is defensive rather than preparation for anything ap- preaching a grand-scale offensive against the North American maia- land. They believe the Japanese are seeking to prevent the use Of those small islands that stick out 2,OOO miles from Alaska toward Japan as bases for aterial attacks on Japan proper.
 The latest conlmunique follows: North Pacific Area.
 "l. Operations in the Aleutians continue to be restricted by consid- erations of weather and great dis tanceS.
 2. Within the last few days, how ever, the weather was sufficiently clear at times to permit some re- stricted air operations against Kiska where tents and minor temporary structures were observed to have been set up on land. A small force of Japanese ships in the harbor was bombed by army aircraft. Hits were reported on one cruiser, and Q transport has been sunk"
 Delegate Anthony D., Dinond of Ia els 1yAAVVsAA k1NA tiAYN NG "fraught with danger" Not only does 1t put the enemy in position to cut off aid to Russia in case of 6 Japanese attack on Siberia but 1t gives them facilities for an attack on the western hemisphere, he said.
 He said there also is great danger that the enemy now would organize land air bases on Kiska; that would give them a powerful advantage over our carrier -based aircraft, the same as we had and used 50 effec- lively in the Midway battle"
 If We allow them 60 days to coIl1- plete their construction, we will have to bring immense pressure to bear before we can remove them," he said.
 Kiska's shores are hilly and rocky. A series of mountain ridges having elevations ranging from 4000 to 12,- 900 feet form its backbone.
 The island has many inlets and bays. Tn peace time, the coast guard paid an annual visit to It's fur trapping inhabitants.
 on Feb. IA, 194l, Kiska, together with Unalaska, was declared re- stricted area by executive order.
 The island, somewhat larger than Attu, IS 5S5 miles west of Dutch Harbor.
