After two weeks of offensive practice. Coach Howard Jones broke out a set of Duke plays and had hl third and fourth teams run them. The Trojans first line stopped them with ease. Presumably Jones took the plays from slow motion pictures of Duke games thta year, for he had no opportunity to acout them. Jones knew, without, looking, that on the offensive the Trojans must be that "irresistible force" to win In the Rose Bowl because at season's Duke'a front line had demonstrated IU right to be called the "Immovable obstacle.

Trojan officials discounted re ports that the players planned to grow beards to throw a fright Into the "lacy pahty" boys from Duke (two Duke players received panties in the mails after a Loa Angeles sports writer had compared them with college girls.)

JiaX any-fighter waxed a wise a did Lou Nova when he arrived in Los Angele yesterday. After kissing his wife and tipping his porter, the boy who established himself as the country's Tommy Farr in New York last week, said he was ready to box, but not fight, Joe Louis.

"It would be suicide for me to aii4i4here.i And to ouUhit Louis," Nova said, "because he start hitting where I leave off. He can out-punch me any day In the week, and my Chance of a victory over him Ilea in my superior speed and ability to stand off and cut him down. I think I can do that. Of course, if he clips me one of those rights there la no telling what would happen, because I don't think there ever waa a man who hits harder than Joe does." Nova revealed that he planned to refuse Mike Jacobs' offer to pay hi expense back to New York, to see Louis defendhla title" against John Henry Lewis in Madison Square Garden in January. "Mike said he wanted me to aee that fight," Nova said, -but I am going to stay out here.

-1 know all I want to know about I have seen him in several fights, and have seen the pictures of all hla fights. I have my plan of bat-Ite act, and don't want to aee anything that might change It." Nova praised Tommy Farr a- tough, gam fighter; and laughed at Oene Tunney a a Judge of young heavyweight. It was ney, who, before Nova's fight with Farr, said that Lou was sure to be pea ten and wa being rushed along too fast Nova said that he long has been familiar with Tunney a ability to.call 'em wrong, and "was delighted when Oene predicted a beating for him. "All I waa afraid of," Nova aald with a laugh, "waa that Tunney would pick me to win," It i amaalng the talent former heavyweight champions have for guessing the wrong fellow. Before Tunney there waa Jim Oorbett Cor bet a lovely fellow who knew more about boxing that six book could hold, never waa able to tab a winner.

At one time or another nd magazine uf the country, and was brilliantly, consistently thoroughly, whole-heartedly, wrong. He couldnt have picked cotton with a Rust machine. Nova felt none too kindly toward Eddie Joseph, the man who ref-ereed hla fight with Farr. Had It not been for Joseph, Nova would have knocked out the Welsh man In the fourteenth round. In that round, according to Nova, he I rrx.

fhad Farr where one punch was all that waa needed to flatten him fbr keeps. "Just when was ready to fire, Ihe.pupc.h.lNoy referee kept us I thought his action meant that Farr was through. Instead, he sort of gave Farr a rest and then motioned me Into action again. I never could get going after that." Nova would like to fight two more battles beforia meeting Louis. "I'd love a whack at that Baer," he ald.

He's not the only one, by the way. (Copyright, 183g, by United Pre) Eastern All-Stars Work Out In Frisco TV SAN FRANCISCO, Dee. 22. (U.
