German chemical center of Ludwig

Although Dortmund and Bruns-

Uu1tcO FUSS 0tdII COrEeSpOnueHG
 New York, Nov. 11-(UP)-One of the most remarkable phenomena in jugilistic annals is provided by the current condition of the welter- weight division which, despite the war, apparently is damned with more top-flight talent than at any time in the 64-year history of the class.
 Most other divisions are so sadly depleted by service demands that it is difficult for promoters to arrange name bouts from their ranks; but good welters are so plentiful that their brayls will provide most of the money attractions during the next year. The 147- pounders have be- come the golden boys" of wartime leather-tossing.
 This is true, although the welter champion-FredC Cochrane of Eliza beth, N. J.-iS in the Navy; thus eliminating possibilities of any well ter title fights.
 However, the No. l challenger Young Ray Robinson of New York is campaigning again, following his medical discharge from the army. And it is at Robinson that most of the ambitious welter; are aiming, as they hammer their way through the early indoor season. Engagements with Robinson at Madison Square Garden in the late winter or early spring are expected to attract gates approaching $1oo,0o0. Meanwhile, the 147-pounders are keeping prof itably busy. A gate of $33,181 was provided at the Garden last night, for example, when Jimmy McDan- iels of Los Angeles upset Sammy Angott, the former lightweight king who now is campaigning as 8 welter.
 In addition \to McDaniels, four other west-coast welters are now campaigning in the east, attracted by the unprecedented big time ac- tivity in that division. They are Jimmy Doyle, Lige Drew, Sheik Rangel and Genero Rojo.
 Eastern youngsters commanding most attention include Billy Ar hold of Philadelphia, sensational Negro knockout artist, who meets Bob Wade of Newark, N. J., at St..

NEW YORK BODY IS ASKED TO
 SHELVE HENRY

Boston, Nov. II - (UP0 - A cooperation" agreement signed last June by the Massachusetts and the New York State Boxing Commis- sions was receiving its first real test today in an attempt to force Heavy weight Lou Nova to fulfill contract and. come here Thursday night to box Irish Johnny Flynn of Roches- ter, N. Y.
 Nova told the Callahan A. O., pro- motors of the match, that he would not fight. He later reiterated his statement to the Massachusetts Boxing Commission and said his arm was injured and in a sling. He refused, however, to come to Boston for an examination by the commis- sion's physician.
 Cheek Sent Back
 The Massachusetts body received a copy of the contract together with a cancelled $500 check which promoters Jack O'Brien and Eddie Mack had sent Nova for transporta- tion expenses. Photo copies of these were sent to the New York Com mission together with request that it support the Massachusetts com- mission in demanding that Nova come here and fight.
 Manager Quits
 Nova's manager, Frank Paccassi, appeared before the Massachusetts body and said that he had severed his conenction with the fighter when he refused to travel to Boston. Pac- casSi said he had destroyed con- tract when Nova refused to fight Flynn.
 The Massachusetts Commission said that unless Nova appeared it would issue a suspension order against both Nova and Paccassi and expected that similar action would be taken by the New York body as well as President Abe J. Greene oi the National Boxing Association.

BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent


 New York, November IL (UP) - Jimmy McDaniels, body-punch- ing specialist from Los Angeles, was established today as prominent well terweight contender by virtue of his upset victory last night over Sammy Angott, former lightweight King, be- fore 10,430 fans at Madison Square Garden.
 In registering his seventh consecu- tive eastern victory, McDaniels sur- prised the experts and the Smart money boys of Jacobs Beach who had sent Angott into the ring an 11-5 favorite.
 McDaniels won the split 10-round decision in a close, hard fight. The rangy Californian with the big Schnozzola lost the first three rounds to Angott's unorthodox, windmill failing; but then came on with barrage to the Midriff and surprisingly accurate left jabS to capture the vote of Referee Benny Leonard and Judge Joe Angelo. The other judge, Jim Hagen, called it draw. giving each five rounds. The United Press agreed with Hagen, giving each four rounds, and scoring two even.
 There were no knockdowns; and the only bloodshed came from a slight gash beneath McDaniels' left eye-suffered in the ninth round. McDaniels forced the fighting af- ter the third. He took the fourth, on even terms in the fifth, and then clicked off the sixth, sev- enth and eighth. Angott started a rally in the eighth, but was almost buckled by a right hook to the solar plexus. However, the game ex- champ swarmed back desperately to take the ninth, and to fight on even terms in the 10th.
 Veteran Angott weighed IA 1-1 pounds, the heaviest of his eight year career. McDaniels scaled quarter-pound less.
 The gross gate was $33, 181.

73,OOO CROWD EXPECTED TO

By OSCAR FRALEY United Press stan Correspondent


 United Press stan Correspondent
 New York, Nov. 11.-(UP)-Un- defeated Army sent the highest scoring football team in West Points 54-year football history against Notre Dame at Yankee Stadium today, determined to avenge a long series of defeats at the hands of the Fighting Irish. A sellout crowd of 73,000 was expected.
 The Cadets have not beaten Notre Dame in their traditional games since 1931, failing to score point the past five years. But this time they counted on one of the nations best backf1elds and strongest lines to humble an Irish eleven which was knocked out of the ranks of the undefeated last week.
 There was an added incentive. The soldiers wanted to match Navy, the team which last week polished off the South Renders, 32-13, for Notre Danes. 0rSt loss to a college team in two years.
 Irish UnderdOgs
 The Cadets, who have beaten Notre Danes only five times in 30 years, were favored at 2 to l. This was due to the offensive power they have shown with such out- standing backs as Felix Blanchard, Glenn Davis, Max Minor, Dale Hall, Doug Kenna and Dean Sensan- baugher rolling up 36O points in bat tering North Carolina, Brown, Pitt, Coast Guard, Duke and Villanova.
 Notre Dame supporters claimed, however, that Army still was un- tested, and that the Irish, spear headed by the versatile Bob Kelly, had proved their worth in beating Pitt, Tulane, Dartmouth, Wiscon- sin and Illinois before losing to Navy.
