Louis Contemplates Army Service After Nova Bout
NEA Service reports Joe Louis seriously considers enlisting in the army after defeating Lou Nova in September. Louis, fond of riding and owning horses, says he might join the cavalry and says Hank Greenberg’s induction heightens his resolve. He analyzes rivals like Nova, Godoy, and Baer, and hints he fights less eagerly now but can still unleash power when needed. Jack Blackburn endorses Louis as more formidable, noting opponents now brace for him rather than vice versa.

Golfers Likely To Set Marks In Open Play
Fort Worth reports on the 45th U S Open at Colonial Club. The 7035 yard course draws expert debate over scoring prospects. Half expect 285 final, five over par, while others think a hot four-round run could beat Ralph Guldahl’s 281 by six or seven strokes. Narrow fairways and tough par 3s shape the argument, with several long par 4s adding to the challenge.
