Oct. 16, 1943 Gate contract-signing was a great event. Cameras clicked and flash bulbs popped as promoters, managers and plain hangers-on milled around the champion. Conn is scheduled to come in tomorrow to scribble his name on the legal document that will enrich him for life. This being the first title bout among the big boys since Louis flattened Abe Simon in March 1942, Pro moter Mike Jacobs figured the occasion was worth separate signings to gain the extra bally hoo. Jacobs plans to sock a $100 label on the ringside seats and expects that the fight "will do $3,000,000 at the gate and I wouldn't want to try to guess what the figure might be if you counted in movies, radio and television."

OMLiOMmt5 I Trippi Declares He Was "Frozen" To Army Football ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 16 (Ph Charlie Trippi, discharged from the army Friday with 41 points, told the Atlanta Journal he re quested overseas duty last winter but was "frozen" at his Florida base for a "1945 football pro ject." The ace half-back of Georgia's 1943 Rose Bowl squad, returned to Georgia yesterday to resume his college career. In an interview with Joe Liv ingston, sports writer for the Journal, Trippi said "my com manding officer couldn't send me overseas because attached to my file was a card which said frozen hold for 1945 football project.' " His discharge on a "surplus and hardship" basis brought charges from Tampa newspapers of "political intervention" by Georgia's senators. Subsequently Georgia's dem ocratic Senators Walter F. George and R. B. Russell issued statements in Washington saying that they had talked to Secretary of War Patterson concerning a release for the football player. Trippi said 15 of last year's third air force football team were sent overseas and he asked to be sent along. "I wanted to get the thing over with and quit sitting around," he said. The Georgia star was in the service two and a half years as a physical instructor and played two full seasons of service foot ball. - Postwar Plans Items Available Now 55c 25c 1.65 2.43 18.50 with AMONG OTlAEti I' MISS THE: MUST ADVANTAGES WHILE U&S AVAV, VOO DOM'T HANJ& OSUALLV IT'S AS AOISVASA TO uuCK. l TROUPE OP STFFARfv SKELETONS TO SCORE- PRACTICIM& , ONJ THE UfxcU ATUMBUN ACT ONi A TlNi ROOF sMPTV THAT&Tg.- New fork Gets Glimpse Of America With Spurs By JACK HAND NEW YORK, Oct. 16 IP Down in the old corral at 4t)th street and Eighth avenue there's not a bookmaker in sight these October evenings although 200 assorted cowhands are drawing a $2,000,000 gate and slicing up $145,825 in prize money. The rodeo is back in town, shoving the sharpies off Jacobs beach under a deluge of 10-gai-Ion hats, Texas drawls and clanking spurs. Across the street from Mad ison Square Graden, where the biggest horse opera in the world is holding forth until November 4, the lounging cowhands sit cross-legged on the marble floor of the Belvederes hotel lobby and spin tall talcs about the wild west. A $27.50-a-weck clerk in a downtown department store might turn up his nose at such a wildcat way of living but this is no ordinary grubstake these men of th west are chasing. Hank Mills, a former jockey on the "Big Apple" , who won the Gold Cup and Brooklyn handicap on Dark Secret 10 or 12 years ago, set you right on that count when he said: "We boys do pretty good for ourselves. If a boy has a good year he makes himself about $7500 and there's some who do more than that. Guess the high is about $15,000. A fellow who don't win $3000 or more don't stick around this game long. "What happens when we get hurt? We just take care of our selves, have to pay our own way. Have to pay our own entry fees too." Foghorn Clancy, the gravel throated press agent, explained that cowboys paid fees ranging from $20 in the wild horse race to $150 in the steer wrestling and calf roping competition.
