Japan's Population Reaches 78,220,840

TOKYO (UP) — Allied officials have found that the congested condition of the Japanese islands —diminished in area as a result of defeat—has reached an all-time peak. The latest population figure was put at 78,220,840. That is an increase of 5,851,698 since V-J Day. Repatriation of Japanese nationals from overseas areas accounted for four-fifths of the increase, while the remainder was due to a natural increase in the birth rate.

WOLCOTT MONEY SCARCE Louis Heavy Favorite To Retain Crown Friday

By JACK CUDDY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, Dec. 3. (UP)—As Joe Louis completed training today for his 24th defense of the heavyweight crown against Jersey Joe Walcott Friday night, the betting price lengthened from 7-1 to 8-1, favoring the champion. The New Jersey "clearing house" for fight wagers was laying 71-2 and taking 8 1-2. Comparatively few bets were being made, it reported. Lack of Walcott support indicated that Louis might enter the ring favored at 10 to 1. Weight Doesn't Bother Louis Bomber Joe's demonstrations in the closing stages of training showed that he still had his old-time speed and accuracy, despite additional weight, caused Walcott supporters to "cool off." At the champion's camp in Pompton Lakes, N. J., Trainer Mannie Seamon confirmed that Louis would scale at least 212 pounds at the Madison Square Garden weigh-in tomorrow noon. This will be the heaviest figure of his fighting career. Seamon's confirmation indicated that Louis would have a weight advantage of about 20 pounds over Walcott, the stocky Camden Negro who finished preparations yesterday at Grenloch, N. J. Trainer Dan Florio said the 33-year-old challenger would register "192 or 193 pounds." $260,000 Gate Expected Meanwhile, the brisk ticket sale continued to point toward a $260,000 sell-out at the Garden. And requests for working press seats reached an all-time Garden high of 237. Writers at the ringside will include 23 foreigners. Should Walcott upset Louis and take the title, Jersey Joe would be bound by contract to give Louis a return title shot within 90 days. Louis said such a bout probably could be staged at the Garden in early March.

U-M Host To S.I.A.A. Meet Dec. 30

(Continued from Page Six) After two afternoon practice sessions he declared that the Hurricanes will have at least as good a team this year as the "Gymless Wonders" who enjoyed a 16-game winning streak that secured the first tournament invitation a University basketball team ever received. Two more big games were added to the Hurricane's tough-er schedule with the announcement that they will meet the University of Cincinnati in a double-header game at Tampa on Jan. 31, and will fill another similar engagement against an unnamed opponent there on Jan. 10. The Hurricanes presumably knocked the Cincinnati Bearcats out of a national invitation tournament by upsetting them here last year in a game that saw Bob "Whitey" Campbell hang up a new scoring record of 28 points. Campbell was among the lettermen returnee members of the football squad who went to work on the hardwoods Monday. Others are Erb Ibach and Joe McNulty. Hal Shuler, another football player who was expected to return, will not play this year, Morris said, and the status of Tony Yovicsiei, who captained the squad last season is in doubt. "Hal is finishing his last year's work towards an engineering degree and probably won't have the time to devote to basketball. Tony can't seem to make up his mind whether he wants to play or not." Morris was optimistic about several new prospects for the squad—two of them from among the football players who turned out Monday. One is Big Ralph Fieler, six-foot, six inch center candidate, and the other is Don Cobb, Ocala, who may help move things along. "We've got some experience and know what we can do now," Morris said, "but the schedule is a lot rougher. Pittsburg and Pennsylvania are tough opponents at any time and we meet them early in the season." The Hurricanes open their season at the Coliseum on Dec. 12 in a two-game meeting with the Tampa University Spartans.
