At West Virginia MORGANTOWN, W. Va. Nov. 26 (UP)—Bill Kern, who was. toasted as “coach of the year” in 1938, came to the other end of the road today when he gave up job at West Virginia after a mid-season collapse in which his highly-rated football team lost four straight games. Kem, a hard-working coach, who was trained in football fundamentals by the famed strategist, Jock Sutherland, gave no specific reason for his resignation, but intimated that it was because of the failure of the team to maintain its early season pace in which it won four games in a row before folding up.

Walcott, going through the final stages of his long training grind, explained that he felt physically capable of winning the title. “I'm 33 and Louis is 33,” Walcott said. “But I'm feeling great and I'm going to keep the champ moving. He'll think he’s in there with his son when we meet. That's how good I feel.”

J, Nov. 28 (UP)—Heavyweight champion Joe Louis flexed his muscles today and admitted he was in his best condition since pre-war days as he went through the final stages of his training for next week's title scrap with Jersey Joe Walcott.
