 Los Angeles. Feb 20,-UP)-As something that should plough
 wrinkles in the brows of track coaches all over the country, we point to a red-haired Seattle youth, James Abbot, who, as a freshman,
 ran 100 yards in 9.7 in the recent interclass meet at University of Southern California.
 Southern California has won the national Intercollegiate track cham
 pionship three consecutive years, its team looks good enough to re- peat this spring; and young Abbot
 represents what the Trojans have
 in store for the future. Abbot's time has been bettered, of course, but 1t must be realized that Abbot and the season were just warming up, so to speak, and
 that Abbot, as a freshman. has not yet felt the coaching influence Of Dean Cromwell.
 As an all-round track coach. Cromwell has turned in five inter- collegiate championships in the
 nine years U. s. c. has been com peting in the I. c. HAS. He has
 developed such sprinters as Char
 ley Borah, Charlie Paddock and
 Frank Wykoff. They don't come
 faster than those three. Cromwell lost a bunch of last
 years stars. Including Wykoff.
 holder of the worlds record at 100 yards, and Dick Barber, inter- nntIo0tnfn hpAnA 3,tsr oh .NtA
 but he expects another good team this spring.
 The nucleus of 1t will be Bill Graber, worlds record holder in the pole vault, Duncan McNaugh- ton, who won the high jump in the Olympic games. and Ed Ablowich, quarter miller, who ran place on the U. s. Olympic team in the 4X1600 relay. "I'll have a good bunch of boys,' Cromwell sasid. They should, as | team, be able to take any school
 in the country with the possible exception of Stanford" His reference to Stanford leads
 to another interesting thing about
 the I. c. 4-A and that Is that since 1921, California. Stanford or U. s. c. have taken the championship
 every single year but 1924, when Yale won.
 California was first in 1921-22- | 23, Yale in "A, Southern Cali- fornia in '25 and '26. Stanford in '27, '2S and '29, and Southern Cali- fornia in go '31 and '32. Incident ally Stanford has been runner up to Southern California the last
 three years and those two teams
 seme destined to fight for the title again.
 The l. c. 4-A meets must be
 lots of fun for eastern teams and ] coaches.

CHICK HAYES TO OFFICIATE CROSBY. WILEY TILT WED.
General Admission Set at 5 Cents-Interest Ga- lore Surrounds Second Meeting

With general admission set at thirty-five cents, reserved seats selling for fifty-nve, "Chick" Hayes of Hartford officiating and Wilby's rapid rise to second place in the Naugatuck Valley league standing, interest galore surrounds the sec- ond game with Crosby to deter mine the city champions Wednes- day night at Wilby gym.
 With a two-point victory over Naugatuck and Crosby minus the services in this tilt of Johnny Grif- fin, the Leemen will be the slight favorite to avenge the defeat suf- fered last month with Griffin in the Schofieldmen's lineup.
 Wilby still has a strong possi- bility of capturing the coveted Val ley league title, for Central may be knocked off in Naugatuck Sat- urday night and then will be forced to meet the green and white in this city, with the chances of being bumped off again rather bright. If the Foleymen and Leemen can overcome Central, then the locals will be tied for first place and a playoff will be essential.
 Crosby, however, cannot be fig- ured as a pushover for the Com mercial boys, for the blue and white gave Hillhouse a grand run for their money in New Haven last week before being beaten out in the final minute of play by a sim gle field goal.
 The reserves of the two schools will hook up in the prelm Wednes- day.

New Haven, Feb 20.-Louis Kid Kaplan, former featherweight champion of the world, will try to put the halt on the promising ca- reer of Louis Kid Cocoa, Con- necticut's leading lightweight sem sation, tonight in the main attrac- ton of 10 rounds on Matchmaker Lew Browns all star fight card at the New Haven Arena. The ebony-hued flash who has, taken the foremost lightweights by storm in the short time that he has been in this part of the country will be faced with the toughest opposition he has had to date in the Meriden buzz saw. The complete card con- sists of 34 rounds of boxing in all.
 Many young pugilistic hopefuls have fallen victim to Kaplan, the veteran and tonight it is qutstion- able as to whether Cocoa will meet his master. It is a case of age and experience against youth and am- bition. No matter how the verdict Is rendered state and local fight followers will witness a bout that has long been sought and one that will afford plenty of action. It's Cocoa's test of tests and in the case he succeeds he will have convinced many skeptical enthusiasts that he is really championship timber
 Return Bout
 In the semi-final attraction of eight rounds Tony Travers, one time king of the lightweights in this vicinity and now a promising welter, will be rematched with Ed die Moore of Bridgeport. At the last show Travers was awarded the duke after being threatened with knockouts both in the first and sec ond round. His rally in the last three rounds won for him the favor of both the fight customers and the referee. It will mark the third meeting of these two punch dispensers with the score even since Travers dropped decision to Moore in Bridgeport prior to the last bout.
 Steve Carr, of Meriden, consid- cred one of the best middleweights in the state, will have plenty of trouble on his hands when he meets Billy O'Brien, the blond bat tier from Derby in another eight round contest. Emery Scarra, To- cal heavyweight flash will show his wares against Harry Goodman, mo- ted scrapper from New Milford. And in the opener also of four rounds Jack Renault, pleasing club fighter from Fair Haven. will start the action against Paul Con- ger, also a willing walloper from the Metropolitan City.

ONE SECOND LESS THAN RECORD TIME
 WILL SUIT CHAMP
Sir Malcolm Campbell
 Thinks of New Try in
 Terms of Time Not Speed
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan Correspondent }

V
 Daytona Beach, Fla, Feb 20.- -UP)-That question which has puzzled men of speed ever since Sir Malcolm Campbell began work on his super Bluebird-how fast does he expect to go?-was answered last night by the British racing driver himself.
 He hopes to go 273.24 miles an hour, thus smashing the worlds land speed record he established last year by 20 miles an hour.
 Campbell revealed his ambitions in conversation with us in the lobby of the Princess Isseha hotel. It's doubtful if he meant to com init himself, for ever since his arr rival in this country the question How fast do you want to go this time ?-has drawn no more of an answer than smile.
 Sir Malcolm didn't tell his ambi- tions in miles per hour, but in sec onds. And it was in discussing the condition fo the beach, not the Bluebird, that he said, "I'll be satisfied if I clip one second off my 1882 time"
 fJSufcu OuC
 One second of his time means he'll thunder through the meas- ured mile at 273.24 an hour. He required 14.175 seconds to cover the distance last year, for a record of 253.97. Better that by one sec ond and you have a mile in 13.175 or 273.24.
 The fact that second means so much, once the 200 mile an hour mark is passed, is the reason Camp bell is so anxious to make this years run on a perfect beach. An imperfect racing strip can keep him from a record no matetr how sweetly Bluebird is attuned, no matter how ready he is to give the big machine the gun. But let him tell you.
 You see, a second lost in the m easured mile and my hopes of setting a new record are ruined. And that second is easily lost. One bump that causes the car to swervc off line, one soft spot that gives my wheel a spin, and there you are. That's why I'm so anxious to have a perfect beach. Why I'm determined not to become discour- aged. I don't want to lose that second for if I clip one second off my record I'll be eminently satis- fed"
 Just how long Campbell will have to wait is problematical. In fact, right now the beach is hope less, being rough and wet.

N. E. Y. JRS AND
 HILLIES COLLIDE

Tonight is the night and the place is the north end Y and 1t should be packed to capacity when the Reymond Hillies take the floor to play Kelly Longo's north end Y Juniors in the first of a two game series between these two rivals.
 The Hillies were the only team in the city last year to gain a yic- tory over the north enders and will be out to duplicate the feat again tonight. Both teams are confident of victory and as far as the junior title is concerned the loser will just about be out of the running, leaving the field open to the Boys club Cadets.
 Danny Briotti who officiated the important tilt between the central Y Juniors and the Cadets last week, will be the eleventh man on the floor tonight and the probable starting lineups will te as follows:

Especial to The DcmocraU

Torrington, Feb 2O-Although Bill Crosby was in uniform and showing no signs or an injured knee or ankle, or whatever have you, he failed to see action against Torrington high here Saturday night as Naugatuck dropped it's third Naugatuck Valley League game to the red and white, 36 to z6. before packaged house at the state armory. The defeat en- abled Wilby of Waterbury to tie Naugatuck for second place.
 Frankie Edmonds, the colored fash of the reserves who has been dropping them in with envia ble consistency with the seconds all year, made his debut in q varsity uniform and was high scorer with two field goals and four conver- sions. Not single man on the high scoring Greyhound combine registered more than two field goals.
 Starting off with q bang and looking just the opposite of the team which was set back A to 27 in the Rubber Town two weeks ago the locals hopped off to q II tO lead at the end of the first eight minutes. At the half the winners led. 21 to 13 and again at the start of the last quarter, 28 to 19.
 Big Ed Longhi played rings around "Chippy" Trask. outjump- ing the blonde center throughout and scoring 10 points while holding Trask to two free tries. Bill Hoys- radt was the high scorer of the evening with 13 points. his sensa- tional long shooting playing havoc with the defending valley cham pions.

BROOKLYNS TAKE
 THIRD GAME FROM WASHINGTON HILLS
Kraft Held to One Hoop By Wagner in 4O-34 Win EmeraIdS Beat Hearts

Minus Big Jim Tracy and having their high-polnt player bottled up like pint of good stuff" was much too much for George Casey's high-fiying Washington Hills who dropped a 30-21 decision to the Brooklyn A. C. in the third meet ing of the teams this season. The contest yesterday, played at the Phoenix Arena before 700 City Amateur league fans was the exact opposite of the previous one in which the Brooklyns were out played. out-scored and outguessed. Yesterday it was .he other way around.
 Manager John Dumschott made a very beneficial move to his team s advantage when he played big Tom Wagner against high-scoring Howic Kraft for the greater part if the the game. Kraft got one basket against Wagner and that one a difficult twist shot going away from the hoop. Though Carroll, Swasey and Hal Maloney did the scoring for the Brooklyns, Magner's floor game was the individual standout of the win, for it was he who fed the scorers on offense and held Kraft in check life shetland pony during the defensive part of the contest.
 First Half Close.
 The teams went at it hammer and tongs from the first whistle winding up in a six all deadlock after the first period of play. The BrooklynG pulled away in the sec Ond to lead 12-8 at half time and were never evened after that, out scoring their opponents in both pe- riods of the final half. Charley Lewis and Earl Lallier contributed what little effective playing the Hills showed. The winners took full advantage of the free throws awarded them yesterday, sinking IF points against five for the Hills.
