PROVED HARD WAY

The dark-haired Montreal Italian
proved the hard way that he is
dangerous challenger for Beau
Jacks 135-pound crown. Fighting
The full 10-round distance for the
first time in his career, 19-year-old
Greco won the unanimous decision
by an impressive margin last night
over Shans, a tough, experienced
Negro from Imperial Valley.
The experts said it was practical
ly impossible for Greco to beat
Shans if the bout went 10 rounds.
They said he would have to knock
out Shans in an early round to
win But the young Canadian SOL
dier amazed the fistic fanciers and
the 1854 fans in Madison Square
Garden with his laundering finish.

PLAYED LISTLESSLY

The Spartans played listlessly
throughout most of the game Bob
Graham. high school CENTER played
probably the best brand Of ball dis
played by the Spartans. Although
he was second behind Forward
Nolan Harvey in the scoring with
10 points, he played well extensively
and defensiVely. Harvey scored II
points.
Because MeXicali was late in ap-
pearlng for the game, it was decided
to play only a Commute period.
During that time the Marines out
scored the Mexicali crew nearly two
to one. McClelland and Siegert,
guard and center for inland, each
scored nine points. Jesus BaSquez,
forward, led his team with seven
points.
The game scheduled between Cal
eXicO high school and the Navy
team from the Ell Centre air train
ing station was cancelled when the
sailors were unable to be present.

COURT JUDGES
CONVENE TODAY
Further Discussion of Wa
terbury Judicial Set-up
Planned

Further discussion OF the judicial
set-up in Waterbury and other
parts of the state was scheduled
for today when the judges of the
common pleas court and superior
court met in New Haven for con-
ferences. The common pleas jurists
met this morning while the other
session was scheduled for early this
afternoon.
Business pertinent to the local
court organization is expected to be
among that considered. with rumors
circulating here on possible changes
in court personnel. A proposal for
changing the naturalization court
organization here also is expected
to be brought into the discussion.
The proposed reorganization Of
the common pleas court system and
other recommendations made re-
Gently by a legislative committee
also will be introduced at the bust
ness conference likewise, it is be-
lieved. 4
With business increasing in the
local superior court and temper
airy lag noted in the common pleas
court due to the limited jurisdiction,
some observers express the belief a
move may be made to redistribute
personnel. The common pleas court
organization was considered in
length in the legislative report and
other changes are expected to be
made eventually.

a success both socially and finan-
cially. Net proceeds of $468 were

Foch crushed Ludendorff: Each
attack must be linked to others.
It must be a part of whole, and
not the whole ITSELF"
THREE-HEADED ATTACK
Fortress Europa will be attacked,
said Roosevelt, Churchill and Sta
lin, "from east, south and west"
So we can glimpse the offensive
pattern by checking three-quarters
around the compass:
EAST: The Russians will hold
the initiative as long as possible.
Their reserves so out-number the
Nazis that they can shift their
major effort from point to point
while the ground remains frozen.
They will keep hammering until
thaws make quagmires. Then, after
nine months offensive battle I'M
rivalled in length and hardship,
they will pass the ball to the ar
mics of the democracies. They will
rest and reorganize, while prepar-
ing to roll again. Meantime they
will bomb eastern Germany.
SOUTH: Before it's breathing
spell, the Red Army should have
penetrated or menaced Rumania
sufficiently to aid an Allied spring
attack upon the Balkans. Pre-
pared by winter bombing, that at
tack would lead toward wobbly
Hungary and Austria, and beyond
to Bohemia, strategic key to Gen.

Patterns for Final European Attack

trail Europe. If Bulgaria still were
at war, Turkey would join in after
the British and Greeks had freed
her left flank by capturing the
Dodecanese Islands, and after Brit
ish and Americans had menaced
Bulgarias rear by larding in Yugo-
slavia from Italy. joining forces
with Jugoslavs who already are
keeping many Germans busy.
This attack would mesh with the
British American effort in Italy,
which by spring should have pro-
crossed northward far enough for
intensified bombing of South Ger
many, and far enough to threaten
ground invasion of northern Yu-
goSlavia and even some air-ground
pressure on southern France. This
would prepare the landing there of
French expedition from North
Africa and Corsica.
WEST: The above operations
would draw Germans away from
the great British American attack
on northern France and the Low
lands which will be the most des-
perate of all 1944s interlocking en-
terprises. 1t looms as inevitable
Decisive British-American air su-
periority can and probably will in
sure its success this winter.
Preliminary bombing can hardly
avert it. but can smash path
perhaps several paths, for several
invasions, all inter- weaving to force
German Withdrawals by thanking
movements Yet each must begin
as a frontal assault upon strong
Notifications, the outworks of Ger
many.
MAY MOVE IN MARCH
Those assaults may be made from
late March to June, while the Red
Army is resting. The Russians may
resume the attack when the Brit
ish and Americans have drawn off
German reserves as the Russians
have drawn them off these past
two years. Or the British-Amer-
lean attack may be deferred until
the Russians are ready to jump off
simultaneously.
How will the Germans defend
themselves? In the south an beast,
perhaps by counter attacks and
slow withdrawals, trying to pro-
long the war into another winter
and hoping to weary the soft
democracies into negotiating peace.
In the west they may try to get
the jump through surprise gas
or rocket attack upon the great
assemblage Of British-American
troops and shipping. Surely they
will defend their coast against in
vasion, with one foot in the wa
ter" until the Channel runs GRIM
son.
They will fight like cornered rats.
The Cairo-Teheran conferees spoke
only of destroying their armed fore
es, left them no other way out.
These next Hundred Days appear to
be the lull before the greatest
