Lou Nova is making sure that his l
tremendous body is in perfect 1
condition because he expects to
climb off the canvas to win the
worid heavyweight championship
from Joe Louis at the Polo
Grounds, Sept. 19.
The very intelligent and deter*
mined challenger respects the
dynamite in the Brown Bomber’s
fisst and fully realizes that trav-
eling 15 rounds without getting
tagged repeatedly is not one of
his pugilistic virtues.
That is why he spent five weeks
in the Maine woods before pitch-
ing camp here. He did 12 or 15
miles of road work every other
dav.
pound knapsack on his back.
“After that,” beams Nova, "my
work here will be easy. I’d make
it that way, anyway, for every
time I feel like lettine down. I
just saV to mvself: ‘Think of
Joe. You can't let old Joe
down ' And I don't.”

under his holt. did his early
training for this one snarrin”
with his estraned wife in court,
playing golf and softball and
'hewing horses.
Nova houo« to heat l ouie in
the draw, and helieves the fimht
will be decided in the first four
round".
“If I'm there a’ the curl of
four, I’ll knock Louis out or win
going away, and I have a hunch
I ll be there," he says, confident-
ly.
