Betting On Bout Tonight; Faces Tough Opponent

CHICAGO, Nov. 28 - (AP) - Joe Louis, former heavyweight champion. who didn't quit when he was ahead. will try to make it from behind tomorrow night when he renews a projected ring come- back against a foe 13 years younger.

The once-feared Brown Bomb- er. now 36. will battle the Argen- tine heavyweight, Cesar Brion. at Chicago Stadium, in a bout sched- uled to go 10 rounds or less.

Although a 4 to l betting favor- ite, there were strong suspicions vital, LOUIS may have picked too rough a trial horse for his second comeback try.

Louis was soundly defeated last Sept. 27 by champion Ezzard J.arles in a 15-round title bout at New York. Tomorrow night's bout will be Louis' first start since he was pummeled by Char- les and announced for the second zlvme he was retiring.

Louisuwhose tawny fists once were so potent. has not looked impressive in training sessions for this engagement. although he hopes to go into the ring at 215 pounds, three lighter than against Charles.

Brion, at 194. will spot Louis some 21 pounds. but at 23 the South American has that great equalizer, youth, in his favor.

Both Louis and Brion predicted a knockout victory.

Joe said he would try to end the bout as soon as possi-ble. but he de- clined to name the round. Brion said he would finish off Louis within seven.

Exrplaining his comeback attempt. Louis said: "I believe my bad showing against Charles was due to the fact I had an of! night. I'll find out for sure tomorrow night."

The inference was that Louis definitely will quit the ring if he fails to knockout Brion.

Cape Breton Anxious For Link With Big Four

SYDNEY, N. S.. Nov. a6-(CP)- The Cape Breton Senior Hockey League said today it is "most will- ing" to co-operate with the Mari- time senior Hockey League in working out an interlocking sched- ule ”to improve League calibre and public interest in Maritime hock-

eyuv In a prepared statement the three-team league said it would

accept "the most practical plan offered" for such a schedule with the four squad M. S. H. L.

The statement said Cape Breton League officials felt there should be a meeting between the two Leagues to discuss the issue.

"It is considered 9. foregone con- clusion that either a three-team league or a four-team league is doomed to failure in a comparat- ively short time bccause the public tires of watching the same players every night," the statement said.

The statement outlined a sugg- ested formula of games between teams of the two leagues. Each league would maintain its ident- ity and each M. S. H. L. team would come to Cape Breton once a month for two games. Each Cape Breton team would go to M. S. H. L. ice once every three weeks for two games each trip.

ive games and then take North Sydney to Moncton and Halifax. Then the plane could reuirn the North Sydney squad and pick up the Saint John team for the return trip.

The statement suggested also that a travelling percentage-five or 10 percent of each gate-go to the visiting team so that the larg- er rinks would help the smaller. The amount of the percentage would depend on the visiting team's drawing power.

"rhis amalgamation was in ex- istence before. It will most assur- edly be in operation again so we should prepare for it or at least try it out tentatively," the statement. said.

(Judge J. Elliott Hudson. presi- dent. of the M. S. H. L., said in Halifax last night he would call a league meeting to discuss the mat.- ter if two or more teams requested it).

It doesn't appear at the ent like, the proposed inter-locking

mom -

sohedule between the Maritime and Cape Breton senior Hockey League is going to pan out as planned. The most recent light thrown on the subject by Presi- dent J. Elliott Hudson, Big Four president. and general reactions from the Big Four clubs is hardly conducive to a satisfactory settle- ment. 0 O 0 President I-Iudson's recent state- ment that he would call a League meeting to discuss an interlocking schedule with Cape Breton serrlor Hockey Lcague ”if two or more Big Four clubs request it in writ- ing." leaves it pretty well in the power of the teams themselves. And judging from local feeling to- ward the set-up, it is not likely that such a request will be made. The general reaction here seems to be that although such a tie up would make for a bigger and bet- ter league with added appeal to fa-ndom. the lack of facilities here to accommodate any larger crowds than they have been getting this year. plus the added cost of travelling etc. would not make it practical as far as the Islanders are concerned. 0 I

It would also mean a longer travelling schedule and probably more games as well. which the Club feels would be overtaking the physical reserve of the players who are already involved in a tough four-game-a-week 78-game schedule as it is. of course the interlocking schedule may not nec- essarily mean extra games lf an equal number played with the Cape Breton Club were dropped from the present Big Four sched- ule, but it still means more travel.

0 0 C

There is also the draw back of adopting such a new set-up after all clubs have got into full swing of their current schedule and have practically played a third of their total number of games already. Judge Hudson struck atthat theme in his recent statement. Referring to former discussions of this kind. he stated that he recalled a meet- ing in September. 1948, at which the same subject was discussed. He said "although the Big Four" had gone so far as to draw up an interlocking schedule,it was tum- ed down by the C. S. H. L."

0

"At the time." Judge Hudson stated. "it would have been con- siderably easier to adopt than at the present time. Then each Big Four club played three home games every two weeks. Now they play two home games each week." While he'd be glad to call a meet- ing. Judge Hudson stated that if the Big Four clubs feel an i-nter- locking schedule "is findnclally impractical." or that "the amount of travelling would be too hard on the clubs, then no meeting would take place."

0

of course there are many other factors to be considered in favor of the move too. It would be the means of a really powerful league in the Maritimes with no limit to the amount of keen competition it would produce. It would give fans six or seven teams to see in action instead of four or three as the case may be. and they say "var- iety in the spice of life". It would also make a change in the Big Four set up which up to now seems to baffle the most, ardent fans. That of four team: playing a 78-game schedule. and regardless of how they place, all end up in the playoffs.

0 0

It takes a lot of keeness out of the competition. not only from the individual Club's point of view but from that of the fan as well. Outside of the glory of being the top team at the end of the sched- ule. what difference does it make, they'll all be in the playoffs any- way. with an equal chance to win the league regardless of previous showings. It can also mean I jockeying for positions at the close of the league for a view to prefer- ence In to whom they want. to meet in the playoffs. It in not meant to infer that such is the case. but it could work out that way.

Victory Over Beavers

HALIFAX. Nov. 28 - (CP) - Halifax St. Mary's strengthened their second-spot hold in the Mar- itime Senior Hockey League to- night, controlling the play through- out to down Saint John Beavers 6-2.

Beavers only tallies came after the 19-minute mark with Saints a man short.

Saints marked up their first goal before the half-way mark of the opening period and added two more before the period ended.

Then they pumped two more past Beavers goalie Dennis Brodeur in the second and added another in the third before Beavers scored two to spoil Eddie D'Aoust's shut- out bid.

High point-getter for the night was Phil Digeur with three as- sists. Black had two goals for the local squad. the others going to Gordon Miller. Bill Ford, Danny Wilkes and Muckie I-Iollctt.

Tommy Brennan and Buck Whit- lock each collected two points to pace the Beavers. Brennan had a goal and an assist and Whitlock had two assists.

Pul Platz, a former Ca-pe Bre- ton performer. scored the initial tally for Beavers. slipping the disc past. D'Aoust on a ganging play with Brennan and Whitlock gei- ting assists.

That was at the 19-minute mark. Seventeen seconds later Brennan duplicated Platzls play with Whit- lock and Roger Jodoin helping.

One feature of the scoring was that every goal was a three-way affair willh two players getting assists. Besides Digeur. Frank Grabowski and Billy Watson each collected two assists for Saints and single assists were garnered by Peanuts McLaughlin, Eddie Brown, Ford, and Miller.

Vanquished Blue Bombers Given Victor's Welcome

WINNIPEO. Nov. 23 -(Of?) - The vb-nqul ” d Blue Bombers came home today-but they re- ceived a victor's welcome.

Hundreds of noisy football fans crowded into the C. P. R. station rotunda to say "well done" to the blue-and-gold despite their 13-0 defeat last. Saturday in the Grey Cup final against Toronto Argon- auts at Toronto.

Bomber president Ralph Misener promised a better team next year. But he wasn't communicative when newspaper men asked whether coach Prank Larson will be back in charge.

"No comment," faced.

From an equally - downcast Butch Larson came the comment: "It wouldhe better all around if I didn't say anything-at the moment."

News stories have been printed recently in Winnipeg saying he will resign soon. Rumors circulat- ed Monday that he would issue a press statement on his plans some time today. But at the station he said he wouldn't.

A huge banner was strung across the station entrance for Bombers' arrival: "Welcome Home Blue Bombers."

only railway employees were on the station platform when the train arrived about 11:15 I. in. CST. From there the players were escorted by the Winnipeg Police Pipe Band-home earlier than Bombers from the Grey cup game 1-00 I raised platform in the stat- on.

Conn Smylhe Has New Goallending Problemlhis Year

TORONTO. Nov. 28 - (CP) - A year ago managing director Conn Smythe of Toronto Maple Leafs had fat-man goaltending worries: now he's into a thin-man proiblem.

The burning question is whether to keep six-foot-two Al Rollins in the team's goal or send pudgy Turk Broda back into action after four games on the sidelines.

"It's a tough one." Smythe said today. "I've got to decide whether to keep the thin man in there and let him get thinner or whether to go back to the thinned-down fat man."

When the National Hockey Lea- gue season started. the Toronto plan was to use rookie Rollins in about 25 of the 70 games. A few days ago that was changed to send him in against teams that had beaten the aging but still effective Turk.

But Rollins. improving every time out. -has forced fresh consid- eration of the matter. He is the only unvbeaten goalie in the N. H. L. with six wins and a tie in seven starts. Starting last Wednesday night. he beat Chicago. Detroit. Montreal and New York in that order in a five-night span. He has been scored on 13 times in his seven starts.

Broda. at 36. the N. H. L.'s oldest active player. is still wearing his age lig-htly. He has four shutouts in 14 starts and has been scored on 31 times.

It was just a year ago that Smythe put, Bmda and his weight on the fron-t pages across the country. The Leafs had lost (iv games and tied one in six starts and Turk. now in the 1805. was benched until he could get his weight down from 197 to 190 pounds. ,

That's when the Leafs bought Rollins, a native of Vanguard, Sask. He spent most of the sea- son with Pittsburgh in the Amer- ican Hockey League for seasoning. This year he was brought up to the big team to be worked gradual- ly into the goaltendlng job on the tncory that the Turk can't 80 On forever.
