GOMEZ RULED
 3S-37 WINNER
 OVER FIORELLQ

Putting on a similar slugging setto to the one that won them many local admirers nearly two years ago; Indian Gomez of Cuba and Jerry Fiorello of New York wha1ed away for eight rounds last night in the feature Waterbury AC boxing bout at Buckingham hall; Gomez getting a single point edge and the official decision of Referee Lou Bogash. Many thought the bout good draw; others believed Fiorello had an edge but everyone was satisfied that the battle was "all it was cracked up to be-. Bogash scored it 38-37 for Gomez.
 Every one of five bouts went on without a substitution which is a real stroke of luck for any promo to- these days. Bobby Polowitzer of Hartford stopped Red Mills of Springfield in the third round of the semi-final six round go; Water bury's Bobby Snow and Springfield s Richie Gibbons fought to a four round even Stephen decision; and George Humes of Hartford broke even with Jimmy Taylor of New York in another four rounder. Tony Cerruto O. Bantam was four round winner over Joey Ray of New Yok in the first bout of the card.
 Weights were Gomez, 1856; Fiorel- 10, 1858; Polowitzer, 131, Mills 130 IA; Snow 1501z; Gibbons, 152; Humes 152 Taylor, 1481.; Cerruto. 140; and Ray, 138.
 From The Floor"
 UppercutS were frequent in the main bout, both Gomez and Flor clio bringing them up from the floor" to the head of each other. Gomez boxed a bit, had some suc- cess, and in the seventh they fired away with all they had, thrilling the 700 fans on hand no end. Gomez had a big fifth round, but tired later, Forello coming on strong, but the Cuban came on again in the last round of the excit. finish.
 Polowitzer almost got Mills in the second round; but was stopped by the bell until the third when his Sunday punch scored a KO.
 Coley Welch of Lewiston, Maine; rated New England middleweight champion, may make local show ing on the next local card; possibly against Indian Gomez or a similar worthy opponent.

By JACK CUDDY
 United Press Staff Correspondent Baltimore, Dec. 2 U.P0 - Army's streamlined, high-scoring football team collides today with Navy's armor-plated crew before 66, $50 in Municipal Stadium in 8 contest that shapes up as the grid- irons greatest natural,
 Because of the wartime prowess of the two squads, coupled with the pageantry provided by marching and cheering Cadets and Middies this 1914 service classic stands out as one of the most captivating spectacleS in sports history.
 Despite the war-bond and morale angles, the general public is con- cerned chiefly with the spectacle. But Major General L. B. Kroner, 1 U. s. A. retired, points out that the big game is far more important than a mere spectacle. He regards it as a symbolical display of quail ities so necessary in service lead- ership-alert intelligence, courage, physical fitness, teamwork, and split second application of up-to-the- minute plans.
 The retired odicer-a member of general Pershing's staff in France ] during the last war-iS a great apostle of service football. He was captain and quarterback of the 1898 Army team. despite his dimin- utive stature. He packed only 137 pounds on his sawed-off frame in those days.
 Under modern requirements, I couldn't have entered the point be- cause of my lack of height and weight" the brisk, rugged ooking little man said during a chat on the train coming down from West Point, where he had addressed a rally. He lives in Northfeld, Mass.
 Kroner emphasized that the American brand of football truly symbolizes the aggressive, American conception of warfare. He said, "I1l never forget how General Pershing induced the Allies to snap out of their defensive tactics when we first went to Europe. At that time the Allies had been entrenched and on the defensive for a long time. But PerShing demanded and got change in tactics-lightning offensive strokes-massive, power full strokes-not merely little sor- ties. These strokes smashed the German timetables because of the quickness of their execution.
 tFr1,a kHA xxytv1 break up the enemy's timetables. That's what General Eisenhower is doing today. Eisenhower beat the Germans to the punch in our inva- sion of France, for example, by landing large forces and large quan- titles of supplies. without first cap turing certain ports which the Ger mans deemed essential for such landings. Ike brought along his own ports. Ike used to play foot ball"
 Kroner. who has followed army football closely since his days at the point, rates the current army team the best ever turned out by the Cadets. Of course that's figur- ing that they'll beat Navy, too," he appended with grin. They're the highest scoping and fastest striking outfit we ever had"
 The little man in the gray suit said he had stood on the sidelines during recent army practice ses- sion and watched quarterback Doug Kenna handling the ball on "T" plays. T was absolutely amazed" !" he said, ito see such lightning speed in handling-and the way those backs seemed to explode. I figured right then: Goodbye Navy timeta- bles.' |" 4AIkiAI1lm

New York, Dec. 2.-Betting on horses in Paris is at fantastic levels, just as it seems to b ein America.
 Max Hill also reveals that the Germans footed many of the better French breeding establishments and how the battle in Normandy made conditions in that center of the in- dustry even worse.
 Three plants are operatin in the Paris area, two flat-Le Tremblay and Maison LaFitte-and one steep lechase, Auteuil. Fields are large and well balanced.
 In pre-War days, wagering was done in units as low as five francs. The total for even the best after moons was never more than 11,000,- 900 francs.
 Now, with imitation, uncertainty regarding the eventual value of the franc and a mad desire to win money, Auteuil ar'l the two flat es- tablishments consider it poor day when they don't average 23,000,00 francs. Attendance is bulging and lang queues form at the 50 and 100- franc wicketS.
 War correspondent and broadcast CT Hill found people for the most part well dressed women in mink, etc. After seeing them, it is difficult to believe, he reports, that wealthy Parisians have suffered much hard ship from the war.
 Two leading flat tracks-Saint Cloud and Longchamps-are not functioning, and it isn't likely that they will for some time. The Nazis used the Longchamps centerfield as a location for ack-ack guns, per- mitted racing two days week.

Washington, Dec. 2.-(UP)-The War Department today took under consideration the advisability Of permitting Army service teams to play in post-season games and rue niors were rife that approval would be given.

ALL GEORGIA GAME

Athens, Ga, Dec. 2-(UP-The University of Georgia's speedy young team which has lost only two games this season. hoped to upset favored Georgia Tech today and preserve its record of never losing to its state rival in Sanford Stadium.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-12-02

The titanic struggle had a war time setting-thanks to the Treas ury Department in making the game bond salesman for the Sixth War Loan-and the odds-makers made the T-formation of West Point, driving for its first undefeat- ed season since 1916, a two to one favorite over the Navy in game which figured to be a battle be- tween tough, rough, hard-charg- ing line and a combat team of backs that has scored a point a minute.
 The line belonged to Navy and the backs to Army But in the long and honored gridiron rivalry between these two schols the what has supposed to be" as often as not has turned out to be the opposite. So the odds to the contrary, any thing could happen in this game that was taken from the privacy ot the small Annapolis field to Balti- more's Municipal Stadium so the public" could see the contest gen. erally billed as for the national championship.
 It may turn out to be that ii Army should win, but there would be some protest-and legigitimate too-from Columbus and other Ohio points If Navy wins. For the Mid dies after defeats by North Caro- lima Pre- Flight and Georgia Tech hardly would qualify as national champions even if they whipped the ! best team West Point has fielded since the days before the first World War.
 Slow Field?
 Prospects were for a dry field advantageous to Army's fast break ing, explosive (T) formation of fense, but win, lose or draw the Cadets from West Point were un- happy. They protested the Navy orders that re-sodded Municipa Stadium between the 30 yard lines on the grounds that the damr weather with the new soil would tend to make the field muddy which according to the football book should work to the advantage of Navy and its heavy and out standing line.
 The forecast of clear and solder weather-with temperatures down below the freezing mark = prom ised fast dry field.
 Both coaches were confident of victory. Their teams were keyed to the highest pitch, no key men were hampered by injuries and the final word from the Imbering up drills was that the clubs were ready to shoot the works.
 To see those works some 6,658 will pay their way into Municipal Stadium. And of that number some 17,O00 had to buy War Bonds before they were eligible to apply for tickets.
 Tickets
 As things turned out, only about l7OOO of the extra 53,000 seats which the transfer of the game made available, went to War Bond purchasers. Most of them were $25 Bond customers who were rewarded, if they put up $4.80 along with their Bond receipt, the poorest seats in the Stadium. There were few box seats that went to purchasers Of War Bonds ranging from $100, 900 to 1000, 900, but most of the choice seats went to members of the Army and Navy Athletic Associations, They were not required to buy War Bonds and neither did the 10-mile restriction which was imposed on the public apply to them.
 Here are the men whom Earl (Red) Blaik of Army and Oscar E. (Swede) Hagberg of Navy - the former a colonel and the latter a commander-said would start, the only possible change being Doc Blanchard at full instead of Bobby Dobbs if Army kicks off:

flstion is the result OF increasing

country more rapidly than the as

form OF disease which has started
from many different sources. Note
