OAKLAND, Calf, July 24.-Lou
Nova, the cosmic punch kid Of box
ing. has convinced himself again
that he can whip Joe Louis, or any
other fighter for that matter.
The Nova of 1943 Is crammed full
of confidence He has banished
from his mind such material sub
stances as his knockouts at the
hands of Louis, Lee Savold and
Tami Mauriello, who fattened him
in his last three important fights.
This assurance is from his man
sger, Ray Carlen. Whether Nova
discovered his new-found confidence
by peering into the mystic realm of
Yogi is not clear to Carlen. But he
says Nova still stands on his head
during periods of reflection and soil
tude.
Big Lou has been living in South
ern California, where he bought a
ranch. He is in Chicago now to
finish training for his postponed re-
turn match with Savold, rescheduled
for August 9.
Carlen left Oakland today TO Join
his charge. Before leaving he ex-
pressed conviction Nova had good
chance to climb up to the top of the
heavyweight pile.
Mild-mannered Carlen takes a
more realistic view of the prizefight
business He is a firm believer in
the premise that an old-fashioned
whack on the chops is more effective
than mind over matter. He also
thinks that Louis never may defend
his crown after he gets out of the
Army.
This being the case he feels GER
tain Nova, now % years old, can
beat the rest of the heavies around,
including both Savold and Mauriello
who stopped his fighter last year.
For this year Novas record is I'M
impressive to say the least. He
made two appearances at Portland,

from Chuck Crowell and stopping
Paul Hartnek in three rounds.
Crowell is known far and wide as a
