Bonaventure faces rebuilding season with lone 1950 regulars
Joe Bach at St Bonaventure unites 40 hopefuls for pre season drills as only three 1950 regulars join Ted Marchibroda in leadership.

Rocky Marciano signs to face Joe Louis on October 1 at the Polo Grounds as boxing forecasts discuss the heavyweight crown and potential matchups with Walcott and Charles. The Columbia system airs Kid Gavil and Billy Graham welterweight bout tonight, a large 40 inch muskellunge is caught near Meadville, and Giants-Dodgers games loom with Feller and Grove chasing the 300 win mark.
