Monday Evening The Sa If L'aVe Telegram SepfemtVr 25," 1939 13" Billy Hopes To Get Bout With Louis By BERNARD 1. MIXES PITTSBURGH, Sept. 25 (UP) Handsome Billy Conn, king of the risks hia title and a golden future In the heavyweight division tonight when he tangles again with Melio Bettina at Forbes field. Conn of the Klleg-lig- profile Is favored at 1 to beat the squat, swsrthy southpaw slugger from Beacon, N. just as he did in July, when he won the crown from Melio.

Home Town Odds Billy chosehishome town for thisfirsttitle defense.And home town admiration is reflected strongly In the long betting odds, because their first encounter at New York's Madison Square Garden was a mighty close brawl. If the Irish boxing master wins tonight's he will make one more defense in November or December against Gus Lesnevich of. New Jersey. After which he plans tolaunch a heavyweight campaign aimed at Joe Louis' title. Largely because of these heavyweight possibilities, a sizable brigade of New York boxing writers will be in thePirates' ball yard when the tall, Pitts-burgh- and the Beacon Italian climb through the ropes.

Promoter Mike Jacobs, who Is staging the show in cooperation with Jake Mint of Pittsburgh, believes that Conn will develop into the "golden boy" of the heavies. But if Billy loses tonight, you can cross him off the list of future heavyweightcontenders. Only Kayoes Conn Is favored because of (1) his first victory, 2 his speed snd boxing skill and (3) his superior height and reach. For a big fellow, a he is amazingly fast a real Pittsburgh "Panther." But offsetting this speed and skill, nature failed to endow him with much of a punch. He has registered only eight knockouts in 53 fights.

Manager Johnny Ray believes that his punch has improved because in Billy's last ring appearance, August 14 at Philadelphia, he kayoed Heavyweight Gus Dorazio. Punch and an awkward southpaw stance are Bettina's chief asset. He has belted out 21 of 55 opponents. He is a terrific body puncher. Both are young.

Conn Is approaching 22. andthe challenger is 23. Each expected to scale Just under the limit. The promotersfigure on a crowd of 30,000 and a gate of 175,000.

Yannes Battles Collins Again Hoping to avenge a setback handed his comeback aspirations last week by Bobby Yannes of LoS Angeles, Ernie Collins of Reno will appear In Monday's headline bout at McCul-lough- 's arena in top "condition after a week of stesdy training. Lighter by several pounds, Er- niehas sharpened his right hook, andis given a good chance to square V- i IU accounts with Krnl the Los Angeles Mexican. The latter, who hasbeen training In California, returned to Salt Lake City Sunday evening In fine condition to report to Promoter Tony Catalano. The scrap la likely to be another of the hard-hittin- bloody battles these rivals staged last Monday, when Yannes employed a sharp left stsb and right cross to gain the winning margin over Collins, who seemed slow and uncertain.

AlthoughBobby was the better ring general and proved too speedy and elusive for Ernie, the Mexican seemed to suffer more from the few solid blowsCollins landed than the Indiandidfrom Yannes' barrage. Ernie's plan of blasting Bobby'sjaw may result In a short bout MikeKansklof Fargo, N. stsblemate of Collins, will meet Pete Blanchardof Ogden In the semifinal, with Benny Flake, dusky Salt Laker, opposing Johnny Candle of Garland In an- otherbout Duane Foster, another of Collins' stablemates, la booked with Red Lund over six rounds, and Eddie Ross facesHack Thorne of Ogden, also forsix rounds.

Many Sophs Take Field For Harvard By BILL KINO CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Sept 25 There have been so many tears shed over Harvard's woeful football prospects that observers expect to see Dick Harlow moaning low and wringing his hands when they visit the stadium. Instead, they find that astute ornithologist as effusive as a coach who was six deep everywhere and no rivals to worry about except push-over- How Harlow can face the Immediate future with such stout courage Is a mystery. Perhaps he has covered himself with a long-ter-m contract that hasbeen kept a secret, or has beautiful visions of 1940-4- Tares Stars On the surface. Harvard has about three outstanding players, a others who are promising and 24 youngsters who made the 1938 freshman team the strongest Harvard has had in a decade.

Ordinarily, sophomores would not figure la Harlow's many plana that hinge on flawless execution and split-seco- timing. He has held that newscomers, especially those he has seen at Harvard, need a season's polishing with the scrubs. Therefore, It was surprising when, after a week of practice, he Included 10 second-yea- men on his varsity squad. Starting without capable ends, seasoned linemen, competent passers andkickers and only a hand- fulof tried carriers, Harlow has assembled his unimpressive forces with such skill that they seem as- suredof a fairshare of November success. Since It takes so much time to master hisIntricate teachings.

It Is likely Harlow will beforced to depend upon onlyCaptain Tor-b- ie MacDonald and Joe Gardella forthebulk of the running, pass- lng and kicking until mtdaeason. Not beforethen does Harlow expect his other first-strin- backs-- Bill Coleman, converted center, and Charlie Sprayer, sophomore to do more than block and buck to his satisfaction. When Coleman went Into the back field, Charlie Ayres, another sophomore, took over the pivot position. Two fairly seasoned guards have been flanking him Don Lowry, one of thesix available lettermen, and Ernest Sergeant Soph Weighs IS!

He Is by farthe best pass receiver on the squad, buthislackof weight may doom him to be an understudy for George Downing, a or Joe Koufmsn.

"Pennsylvania will be our strongest opponent and Princeton the best of the Big Three," Harlow predicted. "We should be able to make a good showing against the others."
