Louis-Lou Nova heavyweight
title bout Saturday was postponed
from Sept, 19 to Sept. 29 at the
champion's personal request and
the surprise action promptly was
assailed by the Nova camp as an
obvious and deliberate attempt at
a run-out.”
The switch in dates and a
transfer of sites from Yankee
Stadium to the Polo Grounds
was ‘announced by Promoter Mike
Jacobs, who explained that Louis
himself had asked a two-week
deferment on grounds he was un-
able to approach his peak condi-
tion on Ihe original date.
John Roxborough, Louis' co-
manager, passed out a prepared
statement which said "this is the
first time in Louis' career that
he has sought a postponement but
we are convinced that he cannot
possibly get into his best physi-
cal condition." Roxborough then I
quickly denied that the champion '
was suffering from illness or in- I
jury.
"His mental attitude is bad,"
the manager explained. "I attri- '
hute his condition to too much
golf under a hot su and too mm h
strain during his recent divorce
proceedings in Chicago."
The divorce action was abrupt-l’
ly terminated a few days ago
when Louis carried his wife, Mar-
va Trotter Louis, from the court-
la six weeks away. Palestine goes

augurate conference competition.

Crim was off his game in the
afternoon IX. He had beaten
Leonard White of Dallas, the

room in his arms and said they
I were bent on a "second honey-
moon."
Jacobs, announcement evoked a
bitter attack from Ray Carlen,
Nova's manager, who charged
, that the champion and his hand-
lers were afraid of the impend-
the glory of the army, were Pri-
vates Charley Yates of Atlanta
and Frank Straffci of Brooklyn.
Mario Gonzalez. the Brazilian
etar. playing much better than he
did in the National Open, will give
the meet its international touch.
Rain interferred with practice
rounds in the afternoon but it
didn't bother Wilfred Wehrle of
Niles. Mid,., who went around in
par. He was out in 35, one under,
but he took a one over 37 coming
back.
Dick Chapman of Mamaroneck,
N. Y. the defending champion,
and William R. McCullough, Jr.,
Abington, Pa , the runner-up last

ed a six on a par three hole and
