Monn Meets
 Sofia Monday

New Haven, Oct. 26-Nate Mann, one-time champion of New England and anxious to climb back to near the top in the heavyweight division, has hopes of using Joe Sofia of Phil- adelphia as a stepping stone. He fights Sofia at the New Haven Arena next Monday night, and is working diligently to be in the best possible shape.
 Sofia, like Mann, was away from the ring for some time. He was Q war plant guard during the period of the hostilitieS and was unable to get in any boxing. Mann was in the Coast Guard, and until he knocked out Mike Alfaro in Waterbury didn't do any professional boxing.
 Since that Alfano win, Mann suf- fered defeat at the hands of the huge Eddie Blunt, and in addition to making ready for Sofia, the Hainden heavy has his sights trained on a rematch with his re- cent conqueror.
 They'll fight ten rounds in the feature 90 next Monday, and in the semi-final Jerry Lavigne. formerly of Montreal and now of New Haven, meets the game Tony Oshiro. Amer ican born Japanese featherweight who gave Eddie Cotnpo a hard bat- tie in the last headliner at the Arena.

BortoIo, Firpo Mix Tonight
BY JACK FROST United Press Sports Writer

Boston, Oct. 26 = (UP) - NBA featherweight champion Sal Bartolo comes home tonight to fight Pedro Firpo of Camden, N. J., at Boston Garden and though he will rule a slight favorite for sentimental rea- sons an upset would not be surpris- ing.
 An East Boston amateur king who went to New York and made good, Bartolo seldom has been beaten on his home grounds and only few weeks back staged a so-so win over Maxie Shapiro.
 Firpo, an in-and-out Negro boxer, was impressive in his own appear ance here last winter. Well-built and pounds heavier than the feath- erweight titlist Firpo has a wide- open attacking style that is made even more dangerous by the excel lence of his left hand.
 Since Bartolo is grade A boxer Firpo should be made to order. But in a bout with Whistling Willie Roach, whose style is something like Firpo's, Bartolo squeezed out a close win and got himself broken nose in the bargain.
 Only a short time ago, Bartolo was discharged from the U. s. Mer- chant Marine where he served throughout the war. Immediately he was ordered by NBA President Abe Greene to defend his crown before the end of the year and tonight's To- round melee with Firpo is schedul- ed to serve as tuneup for the title bout. Word is that Phil Terranova, who was tinseated by Bartolo for the title, will be the opponent in any championship match.

and test the English puncher and meanwhile keep the American light heavyweight king in the Jacobs stable.
 International matches provide boxing with a lot of spice" Mike explained, "and we just have found out that Woodcock might be able to come to the United States be- cause Great Britain has lifted re- strIctions on key workers"
 Just why Woodcock and Lesne- vich couldn't be billed after the Kahut bout is something of a my- stery. One reason might be that Young Joe, who has won 34 or 36 flights, might shake Gus loose from his crown Another and more plau. sible reason is that Uncle Mise, erstwhlde ticket broker, is getting ready to dip into the big pot of gold he nllgsed during the twenties

 Boston, Oct. %. (UP)-Unbeaten Holy Cross, its eyes fixed on the New England grid title and a pos- sible Bowl bid, faces it's toughest game tomorrow against Colgate's Red Raiders with triple threat halfback Stan Koslowski sidelined because of a leg injury.
 The Colgate = Fl. o. clash in Wor- cester tops a five-game sectional card, with Dartmouth, Brown, Bos- ton College and Connecticut play ing outside New England.
 Koslowski who has figured in virtually all the Crusaders touch. downs to date, maintains he'll be in the game at the kickoff and for some time thereafter However, the Holy Cross team physician has recommended that Koslowski stay on the bench at least another week. Following the doctors advice, Coach John (OX). Da Grosa has shifted Freshman Joe Byers from win- back to the tailback spot, and has assigned another frosh, Frank Bry- son, to round out the starting quar- tet with Fullhack Veto Kiussell and Signal Caller Steve Conroy.
 Holy Cross scouts report that Andy Kerr's Red Raiders have plenty of power despite their record of two setbacks in four games. Tn addition, some of the Colgate first stringers will be playing their last game before being transferred by the Navy, and will be giving their all to spoil the Purple's record.
 At the same time, last seasons titlist Yale swings back into action after a two-week layof with Cornell providing the opposition. The Ellis have already dropped two of their first three tits, and will enter to- game an underdog.
 Still looking for it's first win, Dartmouth tackles Syracuse away from home, while Brown Journeys to New York to meet undefeated l

NEGRO PLAYER. SOUGHT FOR
 1903 ORIOLES
BY JOHN F. LYNCH United Press Stan CorrespOndent)

United Press Staff COrrespondent)
 St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 26-(UP)-A Negro ball player who turned down a major league contract in 1903 be- cause his parents feared racial prejudice looked today to Jackie Robinson to make good with the Montreal Royals.
 Billy Williams, first Negro player ever offered a major league contract, was obviously pleased with the Brooklyn Dodgers acquisition of Robinson, 26-year-old colored short- stop from Pasadena, Calf.
 "Robinson's a fine player" Will Hams said. Hell make good if given an even chance. But colored players ought to have the same op- portunity at minor league training and come up the ranks like white players"
 Williams, husky at 67, sat in the ornate reception room at the Min- nesota state capitol where he Is ex. ecutive aide to Gov. Edward J. Thye and said he never regretted turning his back on organized baseball.
 "It's a short career, at best" he said.
 His big chance came in March, 1903, when Ned Hanlon mailed him a signed contract to play first base for the Baltimore Orioles in the forerunner of the present National league.
 "All had to do was to sign my name" Williams said, "but my par- ents objected. They thought I'd run into too much racial prejudice down there. And probably they were right. I was just punk kid at the time."
 Tn all fairness, Williams ex- plained that he wasn't sure whether Hanlon knew he was offering job to a Negro. Billy's father was a Negro, his mother a German.
 T believe he may have thought was an Indian" Williams said.
 Twenty-eight years of playing the game. always with white teams, and a lifetime as an avid fan. have left Billy little hay on the dates In his baseball career. Once he was offered the "chair of American baseball at the University of Was eda in Japan. This he rejected, too.
 williams was playing with the St. Paul Spauldings when Hanlon be- gan dickering with him. At 26, he already had starred with semi.pro outfits at Litchfleld, Chaska, Shako- pee, Young America, St. Cloud, Minn., and Chippewafalls, WIS. These were the top teams of the day and preceded the present minor leagues. Their brand of ball com. pared with that now found In the American Association or the Inter- national League, Williams said.

ARMY AND NAVY FACE TOUGH
 FOES SATURDAY
BY WILLIAM TUCKER United Press Sports Writer

New York, Oct. 26.-(UP)-The odds-makers were chewing their form sheets today at the thought of what may happen on the nations gridirons tomorrow when no less than IS games can go either way and your favoritism depends on your school colors.
 Heading the pigskin parade come Army and Navy in a pair of tests against big league opposition and if either the Cadets or Middies find their colors hauled down at sun set 1t wouldn't rank as the upset of the year by any count.
 Arnny's wonder men, cunning for their 14th straight victory over 8 two-season span, face the dangerous Blue Devils of Duke before an an- ticipated throng of 60,000 at the New York Polo Grounds. With bridegroom George Clark recovered from early season injuries, Duke ex- poets to make terrific fight and 1t looks like busy afternoon for Army's touchdown team, Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard.
 Even greater peril looms for Navy which takes on fast and heavy Pennsylvania team before 10000 at Philadelphias Franklin field. Un- impressive in its last two victories over Penn State and Georgia Tech and hampered by injuries, Navy rates a bare touchdown favorite over the Quakers.
 Buckeyes vs Gophers

 New York, Oct. 26-(UP)-Pro. Ymoter Mike Jacobs started 6,000- mile squeeze play today in an ef. fort to make boxing history repeat itself f-primarily for his benefit.
 Uncle Mike, whose benignity caIl be measured perfectly by the silver standard, was barely close enough to see the glitter during the golden twenties. He was 6 ticket broker then and Tex Richard was the man on top.
 But with the expectedly fabulous fcEties and fifties looming dead head, Jacobs is angling for pay of which will accentuate the cross- country promotional howls that Mike has forged an unbreakable Tiitt monopoly. He tipped his hand with c dandy little strata gem inc volving Q charity show in Portland, Ore, . light heavyweight champion just out of the coast guard. the British Empire heavyweight cham pion-and precedent set during the golden twenties.

Lesnevich, despite these arrangements, is not twins.
 Then 1t developed that Jacobs has cabled Bruce Woodcock, the British Empire heavyweight king, and offered him @ January match with Lesnevich, with or without the heavyweight title at stake. The bout would not net LeSnevich and the honest brakeman" more than the Portland show.
 Sc Sc it's it's easy to fathosn that the charitable Uncle Mike is, to coin c phrase, killing two birds with one stone. He is beating of outside competition and at the same time setting the stage for a boxing his- tory repeat which served as the Kickoff for the golden twenties.
