Chicago, Feb. IS (U.P9 =
World Heavyweight Champion Joe
Louis left today for Burbank, Cal,

lew ENGLAND,
STATE CHAMPS
AT LOCAL Gym
Visitors Will Be Favored
About 9 to 5; Crosby
at TOrringtOn

Another Of those old-fashioned
slam-bang, fire-engine basketball
games is on tap for tonight at the
wildly high school gymnasium, with
the principals--in this corner from
the borough Of Naugatuck, the
Qreyhounds, coached by Peter q
Foley, defending New England and
state champions, and--irl t . other
corner-the determined Wildly Wild
cats, an improved team In recent
games, but a losing team that has a
chance to knock Naugy right out Of
the valley league championship, de-
spite the borough timing protest Of
Warren Harding win this week.
Last night, Harding clinched the
valley league title, II the Eaugatuck
protest Is disallowed- but should
there be replay. and Naugy wins,
Torringtorl can sneak into the
championship picture with a win
over Crosby tonight, which Is ex-
pected but by no means certain.
However, the local action is on
fined to Wildly gym, and though the
game cfigures to be exiting enough;
Naugatuck will be q strong favorite
about o to 5-to score more points
than Wildly In 80 minutes Of play. A
wildly victory would be d decided
upset, bu tnot impossible, by any
means, as Naugy has been decidedly
ragged on occasion this year.
Free Throws Beat Tech So,
Gilbert Of Winsted was a 80 to
30 winner over LeaW:nworth last
night, though Tech scored more
field goals, II to 20 free-throws by
Gilbert won the game.
Lewis High Of southington de-
feated Sacred Heart High 81 to 20,
while Warren Harding won the val
ley championship by defeating An
sonia 81 to -. However, It's title Is
not clear until Naugatuck5s protest

Robinson Finally
Agrees tOOppOSe
California Wilson

New York, Feb. l3.-The country's
two top welterweights, Ray Robin
son, Of Harlem, and California
Jackie Wilson, a sergeant In the
Army and now stationed at Mitchell
Field, collide In scheduled ten
round contest at Madison Square
Garden on Friday night.
It Is not mere press agent bauy-
hoo to label Robinson and Wilson
the two top l47-pound division rep
resentatives. Boxing men the coun-
try over recognize them as such,
though Willie Gilzenberg, manager
Of Freddie (Red) Cochrane, will
doubtless dispute that statement
most vehemently. Cochrane, spe-
cialiSt first class In the U. s. Navy,
happens to hold the welterwelght
title.
Robinson won 10 professional
bouts in q row before his streak was
finally halted by Jacob LaMotta. a
l60-pounder, In Detroit ten days
ago. Wilson's record Is also irnpos-
ing. He has lost only four out Of
81 contests as O pro. Three Of these
he reversed in decisive fashion. The
fourth was to the same LaMotta
who beat Robinson.
At Long Last!
For more than a year boxing en-
thusiasts have been talking about q
meeting between Sugar Ray and
California Jackie. For q long time
Robinson wanted no part Of the
coast battler. Indeed, It required
all the persuasive powers Of Promo
ter Mike Jacobs and his match
maker, Nat Rogers. to talk Robin
son into signing for Wilson.
They come together In o match
that is rated the most attractive
and the most important welter-
weight event of the season. A share
Of the proceeds Of Fridays show
will be contributed to the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.
Two Of the leading young middle
weight prospects In action today
have been paired by Matchmaker
Rogers for the ni-final, listed for
eight rounds. They are George
Sonny Horne, Of Niles, Ohio, and
Marvin Bryant. of Dallas, Texas.
New faces will be seen in one Of
he sixers on the program. They
are Joe Carter. Rome, N. Y, middle
weight, and Johnny Seaman, Of Bos-
ton. A second six-round bout brings
together Gus Coen Levine, Harlem
featherweight, and Victor Resto,
Puerto Rico. Two four-round con-
tests complete the program.

FILM AT CAPITOL

Bringing new chapter in the
entertaining adventures of Gay
Lawrence to the screen, "A Date
With the Falcon" again teams
George Sanders and Wendy Barrie
in the top roles of stirring and
laughter packed drama. The film
opens tonight for two-day run at
the Capito Theatre.
James Gleason. Allen Jenkins and
Mona Maris have the other featur-
ed parts in the offering, which re-
wolves about the puzzling disappear
ance and seeming murder of a clever
scientist who has invented a cheap
method of making synthetic dia-
monds for defense uses.
Lawrence, known as The Falcon,
is intrigued into investigating the
case, working with the suspicious
Inspector O'Hara of the police de-
partment. The Falcons fiancee,
whose plans for an Immediate we'd
ding are wrecked by Lawrence's
sudden attention to the affair,
storms at him, especially when she
discovers that a mysterious and at
tractive feminine crook is involved.
How the suave investigator mar
rowly escapes losing his life before
he runs down the criminals behind
the daring scheme and rescues the
missing scientist, makes for the
breathless ending as the fiancee
triumphantly leads The Falcon off
toward the altar.
