Convention at the Book-Cadillac
Hotel today, 1t. Gov. Eugene c.
Keyes, who is a doctor, a dentist

bleary-eyed delegate by a lecture
on the evils of drinking
THE need for alcohol Is not q

EVILS OF DRINK
'Tet us teach that excessive
drinking leads TO nervous hyper.

strain and trouble at home and
at work"
The doctor-dentist-politician did
not lecture the party leaders only
because he found many of them
suffering from the effects of
traditional convention eve cele.

believes the Republican Party

"If a man must drink his beer

Doctor Keyes continued. But

The unprecedented lieutenant

that he believed the state was5on

The Standings
Heuvies Feature Arena Cord Mon.

New Haven, Nov. 19-Monday nights Arena feature bout between Herman Badger of New Haven and George Fuller of Norwalk is listed as an elimination contest in the State heavyweight series Match maker Johnny Attell is starting to determine duration champion.
 The Badger-Fuller bout winner will, Attell says, be matched with Charley Eagle of Waterbury, with the ultimate victor meeting Lee Q. Murray of Stamford for the throne left vacant when Nathan Mann went into the Coast Guard. If Mann can get time to train and leave to fight, Attell said the more the merrier, count him in.
 With the exception of co-fea- tured six round scrap at 149 pounds Monday between Mario Miceli of New York and George Greytak of Trumbull, a long-brewing natural between two youngsters who came up from the prelims here, the card will be confined to heavyweights. It is not likely that any of the lat ter will immediately become titular timber but Attell is building for the future.
 A heavyweight six matches Dula Kovach of Waterbury with Tony Gillo of New Haven. Gillo took on Kovach as a sub last Monday and fought to a good draw. Other big boys slated for action Monday in- clude Pete DiAmore of Bridgeport and Andy Milletto of Waterbury.

BEAU JACK SAIDl
 TO BE BURNED'. QUIT AT P YRS..
By JACK CUDDY

(Un1teu Press Stan correspondent
 New York, Nov. 19.-(UP)-Cham pion Bob Montgomery, negro body punching specialist from Philadel- phia, was favored at 3-1 to retain his title (New York version) against primitive, brown skinned Beau Jack tonight in their battle of convalesc- ents at Madison Square Garden.
 Both claim to have recovered com- pletely from recent afflictions. Beau Jack, the glamori7ed Georgia boot black who lost the crown to Mont gomery in May and dropped consid- erable prestige since then, had house-maid's knee. Montgomery caused two postponements of to- nights 15-round brawl because of excavation work on his wisdom teeth.
 Accordingly, crowd of about IT, 900 is expected to pay approximate ly $90,000 to witness their return melee.
 If this $900OO take is realized, it will bring Beau Jacks total eight New York gates to $567,770. This rags-to-riches negro lad from Augusta, Ga, is the greatest draw ing card among currently active fighters. Another defeat tonight would ruin his box-off1ce appeal, and cause Promoter Mike Jacobs great anguish.
 But the Smart-money boys of Broadway have made jungle-man Jack a lop-Sided under dog in the betting, largely because of his May defeat by Montgomery and his up- set defeat on Oct. by Bobby Ruff fin. In the Montgomery engage ment, Beau ran out of gas in the later going; and against Ruff1n he lacked the fire and stamina that enabled him to battle spectacularly to the title in 1942. Although only 9, he seemed to be burned out. Beau and his handlers blame both showings particularly the Ruf1n debacle, to the agravation of a knee injury he suffered while train ing for Montgomery in May. They said he has recovered completely now.
 Near K. O.
 Beau, who was the 14-5 favorite against Montgomery last May 21, al- most knocked out Philadelphia Bob early in the first round. He had Bob staggering about the ring on hinged legs from a barrage of ex- plosive uppercuts to the chin. But later in that same session Mont- gomery nailed Jack with a straight right to the chin, ,quenching much of Jacks fire.
 Only one lightweight ever re- gained the crown from the man who dethroned him. Lou Ambers recovered it from Henry Armstrong. On the other hand, six lightweight champions have lost their titles in first defenses since 1920, when the Walker law legalized boxing in New York state. Montgomery is making his first defense.
 Both principals were expected to scale just under the 135-pound limit.
 Sammy Angott of Washington, Pa. who is recognized as 135-pound king by the National Boxing Association will witness the bout.

CANAD|ENS EASY
 HOCKEY v|CTORS| OVER TORONTO
Ry UNITED PRESS

The Montreal Canadiens main- tained their four point lead in the National Hockey League during Thursday nights play with an easy 5-2 victory over the fourth place Toronto Maple Leafs.
 Montreal scored twice in the opening period, once in the middle and twice in the third to head the Leafs all the way before more than 11,0O0 home fans.
 At Chicago, the Blackhawks moved into undisputed possession of second-place with 7-3 decision over the Boston Bruins before nearly 10000. Billy Mosienko led the Hawks to their victory with two goals and an assist to run his league leading point total to 16.
 Rangers Lose 8
 At New York, the Detroit Red Wings handed the Rangers their eighth consecutive defeat with a 3-1 triumph. The Rangers pleased the crowd of more than 12,000 with an early first periody coal but there after settled back into the ruts and were unable to find the Detroit nets.
 The Wings, in consolidating their third place tie with Toronto, out played the Rangers throughout the game and only the brilliant goal tending of Rookie Ken McCauley saved the New Workers from a worse defeat.

Her Standards are High.
 Someone asked Doris Cosgrove, of the Manor avenue Cosgroves, how she was bowling.
 "1'm not scoring at all," quoth the fair one.
 To prove her assertion she pro- ceeded to chalk up a 125 game. The concensus of the league is that when Doris considers she is really scor- ing, she'll be ready for the national tournament.

 Those two mighty hunters, Val eric and DeVito, are down in the cellar like your Victory Garden pre- serves. Products of the defunct mems league, John and Freddie are, apparently, still not used to the faster competition which our group affords. Each has one seasons cam paigning under his belt, too.

Apparently neither has the hardihood of grace full Harry Owens, the dancing mas ter. who in his first season in our group has his team well up near first place.

 New York, Nov. 19 - CU.P0 - AS racing gallops down the stretch of its richest year, ancient Colonel Matt Vim again sings My Old Kentucky Home" - prelude to un- diminished track activities in 1944.
 Though silver-thatched Vim is 82 he is the unchallenged bard of the turf world. His luSty voice was was credited with saving thor ough-bred competition in 1943 by singing his Kentucky refrain just when operators and "chalk eaters" were wondering if the war would close -hobble the hosses.
 Now the chanter of Churchill Downs lifts his voice again, an- nouncing that the 70th running of the Kentucky Derby - Americas most colorful sports classic-wiu be staged at Louisville May 6.
 The Methuselah of the mutuels indicated, without definitely saying so, that next years whirl of the three-year-olds would be witnessed only by residents of the Louisville area-that it would be a trolley car affair" like. the 1943 event-because of transportation restrictions.
 The Derby was staged on May l, this year; and an estimated crowd of 60,OOO saw Count Fleet win the wreath of roses. Louisville smacked of Reno that day. Out-of- town newspaper men were surprised to learn that many people they saw at Churchill Downs were residents of Louisville-people they would have sworn had homes in other sections. Most of the writers figured that their own vision was askew because of the juleps.
 But whether the next Derby is staged on trolley car or an air plane basis, it promises to be the super-duper of all blue grass classics. Except for the apparently unimportant transportation angle, conditions seem to be perfect for Colonel Matt's equine extravaganza.
 In the first place, residents of the surprisingly large Louisville area have more money to bet than ever before, if the mutuel totals from the U. s. tracks serve as indica- tors.
 Secondly, the scrambled ranks of current -year-olds-the almost unprecedented lack of formidable tandouts-indicate that flock of owners will be grooming their mounts for a shot at the winners hunk of that $75,000 purse, and the prestige that goes with it. One of the largest fields in Derby history is indicated.
 Competition among two-year- -olds in 1943 has been so topsy- -turvy that the question right now is not: "Who will win the Derby; but instead, Who is the two-year-old cham pion?" or Who will be the winter book favorite?"
 Colts, geldings and Allies have been beating one another during the current campaign in such dis concerting fashion that it is diff cult even to make a top bracket among the juvenile gee gees. But, maybe, by the time they are three year -olds one or two will stand out because of the combination of speed and stamina needed for the mile and one-quarter test.
 Nominations close in February. The nominees may include Occupy, Pukka Gin, Platter, Boojiana, Pen sive, Lucky Draw, Restriction, Depth Charge, Rodney Stone, Freeze Out, All Bright, Stir Up and Cocopet.

 Army over Brown: Glenn Davis, that freshman back for Army, ought to run circles around that Brown backfield.
 Bucknell over Rutgers: B comes before R in the alphabet and this ought to follow on the grididron.
 Carnegie Tech over Geneva: On the basis of 8 woman's intuition.
 Colgate over Columbia: The Red Raiders ought to prove more than a match for the Big Bad Lions.
 Dartmouth over Princeton: After the Tigers were practically Scalped by the Bulldogs last week, the 1n- dians ought to have little trouble mopping up:
 Holy Cross over Tufts: The Cru saders ought to go out in a blaze of glory by beating Tufts, as a pre- Jude to their all-important contest with B. c. on the 27th.
 Penn State over Pitt: This is one time when it looks as though the Lions will whip the Partners.
 Michigan State over West Vir- ginia: Just playing hunch; P. S.. not mine, my shadows.
 Purdue over Indiana: The Boil- ermakers have all the Al prior ities this year.
 Great Lakes over Marquette: The naval trainees look lot better on paper, as a sure thing.
 Michigan over Ohio State: The Buckeye Boys look pretty good this year but the Wolverines look 8 lot better.
 Minnesota over Wisconsin: The Gophers look just a little bit "hep' on the offense, just enough to edge out the Badgers, who won't know what 1t is all about.
 Northwestern over Illinois: Otto Graham did not click against the Fighting Irish last week, but he ought to go out in 8 "blaze of glory" against Illinois to finish the season.
 Georgia Tech over Clemson: The Yellow Jackets are going to- prove more than fever to the Tigers be- fore this game is over.
 T. c. U. over Rice: Just on a11- other of those Al lunches, maybe.
 California over Stamford: The Bears seem to be a heavy favorite on the odds market this season; I wonder why?
 Oregon State over Washington State: But don't ask me why.
 Notre Dame over Iowa Pre- Flight: The Fighting Irish have gone most of the way, and this game ought to clinch the diploma for them.
