In fact, the Huskies' abbreviated season and lack of practice for more than a month brought ad ditional gloomy murmurlngs from Welch, who pointed out that the University of Southern California has the experience of full eight-game schedule. "And there's nothing like ex perience In a football team," the former Purdue all-American aid. "Lack of game experi ence Is hurting us." Reports of odds favoring the Huskies in the annual grid classic presented Welch with an other problem. His brow wrinkles up like an accordion when he ponders the effect on his players of statements that Washington Is 83 points better than the Trojans "on paper." "There's no basis for that kind of comparison," . Welch said. "From what I saw of USC in the March Field game, the teams are going to be evenly matched come Jan. 1." New Men Out The effect of new season was produced at the Huskies' initial Rose Bowl practice yes terday as new aspirants turned out to fill vacancies left when the marine corps took several of Welch's stars off to officers' school.

Is to sgt, jo Louis heavywelg.it "If the war was to and tomor- row," says Promoter Atkins, "I'd say the man most likely to lick Louis was Lee Q. Murray. This Atkins prals of Murray was so entirely unexpected that startled reporter inauired of the visiting Cleveland enterpre- neur last nignt, "How com you boost Murray, when he almost ruined Jimmy Blvim, your meal ticket, last week?" Atkins, youngish, broad- shouldered, black-haired chap of 41, fixed the reporter with steely eyes, and remonstrated, "in our Cleveland promotions, ' we nave no meal tickets. W have cards. A Cleveland fighter is card as long as he can lick anv. body w bring in. When he loses to an outsider, the outsider be comes the card." In the case of Murray "Card" Blvlns of Cleveland, Pro moter Atkins was doubly fortu nate. Little Blvlns won an un popular 10-round decision over Murray last Wednesday nlghi, after Murray had the Cleveland negro staggering about the ring and dripping with gor. The fans booed the decision so Ions and so lustily that a re-match was as necessary as if by royal com- mand. They'll tangle again in late February after both princi pals recover from their wounds. Atkins, who in four short veers changed Cleveland from one of tne country's worst fight cities into a promoter's paradise, said, "I knew Murray was a sood fighter before I matched him with Blvlns. But during the first two rounds, I thought Murray would ruin me. He never let loose with a punch. Disgustedly, I left my seat at the ringside and walked to the rear of tha But Murray was Just mouse-trap ping nia man. He Knew Blvins was a cutle. and he wan audrlno him in. Blvins left himself open In the third round, and Murray hit him. Blvins rolled with that right-hand punch to the chin; but the force was to terrific that Blvlns wasn't the sam for tha rest of the fight. "Murray hit him so hard nvr the left brow in the sixth that you could have stuck your thumb in the cut; but Bivlns is not the duration heavyweight champ for nothing. He managed wj out-smart Murray for the dis tance; and I honestly thought he won the fight; although It didn't matter to me who won as I had Murray tied up on a contract, too."
