YALE NOW STANDS
IN Second Place
Ellis No Longer DoQrmat Tor
College Court Teams

New York, Jan. IL R-For the
first time since 1923. it appears -
though Yale may be something
more than a doormat for the other
members Of the Eastern Intercolle-
giate Basketball league.
Victorious over Dartmouth in .
thrilling battle at New Haven last,
night, rs to ~, the Ellis today had
stepped into undisputed possession
Of second place in the league stand
ing. with two victories and a single
defeat.
It may be little early to attempt
to draw any definite deductions. but
at least 1t does seem that Yale Is
destined to cut more OF a figure in
the championship fight than 1t has
in the last five wears.
The Bulldogs won the title in
1928 with seven victories and three
defeats but has found the going ex-
tremely uncertain ever since. In
1924 the Ellis tied Pennsylvania for
the cellar position and had stangle
hold on that position for the next
three years. The Yale teams of
1925 and 1926 failed to win single
game. In 1927 they won two games
out Of ten but finished in the cellar
Notwithstanding. Last year they
moved out of the cellar just far
enough for Columbia to move in
bag and baggage. During the past
five seasons Yale has won only
eight league games in fifty starts.
And strangely enough, preseason
dope indicated that the Blue would
have an exceedingly difficult time
finishing as high as fifth place this
season.
Routed by Penn, 35 to 10, in their
first star. the Ellis came back short
ly thereafter to battle Princeton
into submission. the first time in six
years Yale court team had accom-.
plished that feat. Then followed
last nights conquest over Dart
mouth, accounted for personally by
Joe Townsend, substitute forward.
who tossed in field goal in the
closing minutes of play to give the
Rlue the edge.
Princeton and Dartmouth. with
the possible addition of Columbia,
had been counted upon to give Penn
hot fight for the title this season.
The indications were the Yale and
Cornell would battle 1t out for the
last two positions, but, aside from
that crushing defeat by Penn. the
Ellis have shown enough fight
against Dartmouth and Princeton to
indicate that they will be in the
running all season. Captain Paul
Fodder. Ya!e's star center of other
years, has been slow to round into
form at the forward position he &C.
cupies this year, but Nassau, his
running mate, and Fred Linehan,
the pivot man, have more than
made up for Folders failure on the
offensive.
1t may not be Yale's year but
other championship aspirants will
do well to keep an eye on the ag-
gregation Coach George Taylor has
developed at New Haven.

BY VERNON SANDERS

written For The Associated Press)
Louisville, Jan. Is GD - Reign
Counts trip to England marks the
first invasion Of an American thor
oughbred to enter the classics on the
fiat In a quarter of q century.
While Billy Barton. an American
bred steeplechaser, was sent last fall
to train for the Grand National. in
which he finished second. no other
American bred horse has entered the
major races abroad since the Bel
monts, Whitneys and other famous
turfmen took their stables overseas
in 1912 and 1919.
In the Belmont contingent were
several famous racers, including
Tracery. Fair Play and the great
sprinter Priscillian. but none were
good enough for an Ascot Gold Cup.
for which Reign Count will COM
pete. No American-bred has won an
English classic since Cap Bells took
the Epson Oaks In 1901 In the
colors Of Foxhall Keene. w. C.
Whitney won the Epson Derby with
Valodyovski the same year. but the
latter was q foreign horse leased by
the American sportsman for the oc-
casion.
In 1912 Sim Hildreth sent several
of his best racers abroad, but they
raced chiefly in France. These stall
warts included Restigouche. Fitzher-
bert and Novelty. but none succeed
ed in winning any of the coveted
classics.
Many American turfmen have
been successful In late years in vim
ming the historic stakes Of both
England and France. but with for
eign-bred horses. The late w. H.
Vanderbilt for years led the win
ming owners Of France. A. B. Ma
comber, who races an extensive
stable abroad. won both the Cesar
awitch and Cambridgeshire in 1925
with his Torseti and Masked Mar
vel, but these two horses were bred
in France. although both descend
ed from American ancestors. Ogden
Mills, under secretary of the United
States treasury. was leading winner
In France this year.
In 1910 John L. Madden leased
Sir Martin and many track followers
said the colt was an apparent Win
ner of the Epson Derby before he
fell at Tatenham Corner. Sir Martin
later won one or two of the minor
English fixtures.
Stephen Sanford, Amsterdam, N.
Y, has been for years a patron of
racing in England and succeeded in
winning the Grand National Steeple-
chase In 1928 with Sergeant Murphy.
an English-bred horse.
Strange to say, Reign Count.
while foaled in Virginia, has not a
drop of American thoroughbred
blood in his veins. Both his sire
and dam were imported from Eng
land, he being by Sun Reign Dead
from Contessina. by Count Schom-
berg.
Bert Michel. trainer Of Reign
Count, learned his first lessons in
training in England and is familiar
with the manner of racing In that
country. He has announced that
he will not send the champion
American three-year-old after the
Ascot Gold Cup unless the horse is
perfectly fit. Michel took abroad
with him five tons of American feed
in order that his colt would not be
| bothered with digestive troubles.
Reign Count was accompanied by
Fair Ball, son of Fair Play, the
sire OF Man o War. Fair Ball will
! be used as a trial horse for Reign
Count.

Coach Ray Anderson started all

Winsted all through the first half.
Parparian began the firing with two
baskets and Paluch followed with
one. Winsted took time out and
Finn scored when play began again,
but by quarter time the club was In
front by 1916 and. in spite Of the
visitors rally which at one moment
brought them to within four points
of New Britain, the club still held a
