Zale, Graziano Set for Mélee

NEW YORK, Sept. 26 (U. P.) —

ctivity in preparation for tomorw , night's Tony Zale-Rocky

raziano middleweight championship fight was confined to the box office today as the fighters rested and Promoter Mike Jacobs predicted a crowd of 40,000 and a gate of $350,000, Both champion Zale from Gary, Ind., and challenger Graziano, the New York “Golden Boy,” complet ed training late yesterday with light limbering-up exercises, and will weigh in tomorrow. Graziano was at 154 pounds and Zale at 159 last night Betting odds favored Graziano because of his knockout punch, and because of the age of Zale, 32, and the five years spent by Zale in service. The odds still were fluctuating, but it appeared that the challenger was at least an 8 to 5 choice, Graziano was more impressive in his gymnasium workouts, showing his . explosive punch and his usual slam-bang style. Zale, a good ‘body«puncher, but not spectacular, looked workmanlike,

Tomorrow afternoon at Tech's East side stadium, the Big Green plays host to Broad Ripple’'s Rockets in an encounter which unquestionably will have an important bearing on the outcome of the city race. Both rank as strong contenders for [the title, and a defeat will just | about remove the loser from the picture—although lots can happen between now and the curtain fall on Nov. 186. Both Win Openers Coach Ed Diederich’'s Rockets ran over . Ben Davis, 44-0, in. their opener last week while Tech was experiencing considerably more dif-

ficulty against Lafayette Jefferson. The Broncos, however, hardly can be classed in the same league with | the Giants, so a comparison on the | score basis is unfair, The two teams battled to a score- | less tie last season. Broad Ripple will enter the game | shy the services of two injured | regulars, Center Stocky Cornelius | and - Halfback Jack Millis.

THREE: The housé merchant marine committee heard testimony that a New York contracting firm “looking for work” asked the Henry J. Kaiser interests to join in operating the Providence, R.

He said that the Walsh company, in which Henry J.
