presented a picture of relations with
Russia which worried the wishfuI
thinkers in the government. The
picture he presented was particu-
larly worrisome since Lord Mont
gomery is known to be anything
but an alarmist.
After the Russians began to show
their unwillingness to cooperate
with their wartime allies in paci-
f1cation Of the world, the British
military experts estimated that an
armed conflict between East and
West would be possible any time
between 1854 and 1857.

Lord Montgomery himself, after
having been royalty received in
Moscow in the winter of 1947, was
inclined to believe that even such
a long-range estimate was pessi-
mistic. He himself was of the opin-
ion that by handling the Russians
properly, particularly by strength
ening trade relations and yielding
to the Kremlin on some matters like
Azerbaijan in exchange for Russian
recognition of British interests in
Southern Iran and Iraq, lasting
peace could be realized.
Later, after the Soviets turned
down the Marshall Plan and inten-

Earlier Estimate Revised.
The British general staff is re-
ported now to have found it neces-
sary to revise downward even its
earlier five-year estimate. On the
basis of reports from its excellent
intelligence services, which analyZe
situations without wishful thinking
or any desire to please top officials
the British government is said to
have come to the conclusion that
war may break out at almost any
time.
The top men in the British cabi-
net are reported to be still OF the
opinion that the Russians won't
dare to start a war;" and that the
Soviet Union would prefer to gain
its objectives by political terror in
the present war of nerves. Never
theless, the cabinet-and particu-
larly Foreign Secretary Bevin-is OF
the opinion now that any further
weakening of the British forces,
which are still the strongest in the
Western European bloc, might in
vite disaster.
Despite the need for further dras-
tic economy and for the use of man
power in peacetime efforts, the
British cabinet has decided to stop
all rehabilitation of men who were
scheduled to be returned to civilian
life by the end of this year.
Like the rest of the Western
Powers, the British would do almost
anything to prevent another war
which they realize would be catas-
trophic for their economic and So
cial structure. But they are con-
vinced that any further appease-
ment of the Kremlin would be at
the expense of their centurieS-old
ideals of freedom and human rights
And not even the present socialist
government is prepared to do that
The British realize that in the
event of another war their island
will be one of the first targets OF
the Soviet buzz bombs-which are
improved versions of the best the
Germans developed during the wal
and that the hardShips of the
last war were a picnic compared to
what will have to be endured next
time. Yet they are willing to face
the music rather than subject them
selves to Soviet domination.

The last two seasons have
been lean ones for the once
mighty Blue Devils, who won
six Southern Conference titles in

before he went off to war after
the 1941 campaign.
Two years ago Duke dropped
five of nine games, more losses
than any Wade-coached eleven
ever suffered since he began
coaching in 1919. Last season
again produced only four vic
tories in nine starts, but only
three games were dropped as
the Devils tied a couple.

of them the line of experienced
hands is thin one, with untest-

to the teams chances.

season, is counted on to tale

boxers who will stage fourteen
boxing matches here next Tues
day and Wednesday nights.
The regulation jrize ring has
been constructed by the Lions
for the fights, and bleachers
have been set up so all the
fight gans can get good look
at what is going on in the
squared circle.
Lion Joe Talley, who is chair

is staging the fights for the
Lions, said he was sure all fans
who like action and plenty of
it in prize ring will be more

look at the bouts that have
been arranged. 4
Talley went to Williamson

from various prison camps in

brought into the ring to try each
other for the right to show
their prowers with the gloves

staged at Williamson and out of

registered. The fighters in their

certainly not performing for the

consisted of exactly three people,

There is some good hard

Joe Louis Change
OF Mind Confuses
Heavyweight Scene

New York, Sept. 18 - (AP)
- The. return of Joe Louis is
causing drastic revisions in the
fight script
No sooner had the news hit
the street that Joe was coming
out of retirement than Gus
Lesnevich broke a bone in his
right foot and withdrew from
his Tuesday night date with
Jersey Joe Walcott.
All was confusion in the camp
of the Tournament of Champ
ions, the new promotional group
that is challenging Mike Jacobs
with Marcel Cerdan-Tony
Zale middleweight title scrap at
Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City
Tuesday.
A heavyweight elimination
bout between Lesnevich and
Walcott, involving a total quar-
antee of some 100000, was a
big selling point of the Jersey
card. Suddenly the promoters
discovered that there was no
need for any elimination tourna-
ment of any kind.
Louis, changing his mind de-
spite repeated announcements
that he never would fight again,
said he would meet the winner
of the Nov. II Madison Square
Garden fight between Ezzard
Charles of Cincinnati and Joe
Baski Of Kulpmont, Pa.
elf Baski and Charles put up
a good fight and the winner
comes through good, I'll fight
him. said the 34-year-old
heavyweight king. There was "a
small loophole there as regards
the opponent, but it appears OBJ
vious that the Brown Bomber
means to fight again.
1t was evident that Louis was
not too keen on hanging them
up when he scheduled an ex-
hibition bout Monday at Wash
ington with Paterson Pat Comis-
key. That's not the way for a
retiring oldster to act.
Louis was Mike Jacobs ace
in the hole all along in this
war" with the new promoters
who never have been taken too
seriously in the offices of the
Twentieth Century Sporting
| Club,
The Jacobs empire was found
ed on an exclusive contract with
the Brown Bomber. When he
goes out, it probably will be safe
to assume that the new champ
Charles, Baski, or whoever it
may be-will be another Jacobs
exclusive.
