INCLIS DEPLORES
 LACK OF INTEREST
Chief Observer Issues Ap- peal for Volunteers to
 Man Defense Stations

A further appeal for volunteers was issued today from the office of Wallace J. Inglis, chief observer of the Waterbury Aircraft Warn ing Service. The statement pointed out that few of the spoilers have been working at all hours several days of the week, because of the lack of volunteers.
 The appeal follows:
 "It doesn't seem possible that with a city having population of over 100000, appeals for volunteers go unheeded time after time, but sorry to say, 1t is the truth.
 "The volunteers of the Aircraft Warning Service have been carry ing the ball for 24 hours a day for the past 13 months; many of the 'spotterS' doing extra watches Sev- eral times a week and the staff be- ing much overworked trying to keer up the schedules and filling ir some watches themselves.
 "The armed services have taken quite a few spotters and also the change in factory schedules has taken its toll of volunteers; there. fore, making replacements very hard to get"
 Volunteers are needed for tht following shifts: 2 @. m. to { a. m Tuesday; l2 noon to p. m. Tues. day: Tuesday midnight to 2 a. m Wednesday; 2 a. m. to 1 a. m. Wed nesday 4 a. m. to a. m. Wednes- day; { e. m. to 6 c. m. Friday.
 Those wishing to officer theiI services, are advised to phone MT Inglis at 4-57i5.

Good grid weather was on hand for
the game, kickoff scheduled for $3.50
p. m. 1t is the final game of the
season for the home team, which
has not won this season to date;
and with more than half dozen
seniors and 1S-year-old boys there
was much anxiety to win the final
game on the schedule, though the
visitors will be favored because of
recent victories over Danbury anS

The Windy City squad will miss

Luckman, probably the most &C.
curate long paSser in grid history
has completed 70 throws in 1875 at

of 1875 yards. The Importance OF
his arm can be appreciated mors-

May Be MATCHED
A FOURTH Time
BY JACK CUDDY
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

New York, Nov. IS-(UP)-An-
cient Fritzie Civic, miracle man of
maui, may be re-matched today
with Jacob Lamotta, the squat
Bronx middleweight who won an
unpopular split decision over Fritzie
last night in their 10-round Grub
Der match at Madison Square
Garden.
Promoter Mike Jacobs would like
to toss them into the Garden ring
again Oh Dec. II to satisfy the H.
800 fans who witnessed last nights
brawl. and who voiced their disap-
proval of the verdict with lusty
booing.
Civic, 30-year- former welter-
weight champion, captivated the
crowd with his great performance
against the No. / civilian middle
weight contender-a lad of %, who
outweighed the Pittsburgh veteran
II Ia pounds. Pug-nosed Fritzie,
who had entered the ring Al
underdog, was given grand ova-
ton when he climbed down. But
cheers for Bronxite Lamotta were
strictly of the Bronx variety.
1t was o close fight, as were their
two previous melees at Pittsburgh
in which each won q disputed de-
cision. Even the boxing writer's at
the ringside were divided in their
opinions. The United Press gave
zivic six rounds, and Lamotta four.
Lamotta was penalized the ninth
round for low blows.
Judge Jack Goodman voted
FritZie seven rounds and Lamotta
only three; but Judge Marty Mon.
roe and Referee Eddie Joseph each
gave Lamotta six and Zivic four.
zivic had complete command in
the first half of the fight, giving
awkward Lamotta a boxing lesson
in most of the first five heats. But
the Pittsburgh veteran tired in the
later going; and his younger, heav-
Ter opponent came on with O per-
sistent body attack to win four Of
the last five sessions. There were
no knockdowns; but Fritzie stag
gered Lamotta with a straight right
to the chin in the third, Jake had
Fritzie on wobbly pins in the sew
enth, after landing o hard left
hook to the body and a right smash
to the face.
Lamotta suffered o gashed left
brow in the third round; and Zivic
had all old cut reopened under his
left eye in the seventh. This cut
caused Fritzie to cancel scheduled
bout with Red Doty at Akron, O.,
next Thursday night.
Lamotta was Al betting favor
lite because Of his great weight ad-
vantage. II pounds to 149 Ia. In
their previous bouts, Lamotta had
scaled 1874 to 1856. Despite Jakes
physical advantages, zivlc made
him look like an amateur in the
early rounds. stabbing him persist
emily with his educated left and
rocking him with straight rights
and uppercuts. He fought like @
champion until he began to run out
Of gas.
The gross gate was $50, 242, about
ten grand less than was expected.
