Second With Shot.

BY the Associated Press
n YEW YORK, January 21.-Joe Nc
M Cluskey, wearing the red, white
Y and blue suit he carried to a
third place In the Olympic
steeplechase, tonight fought his way
through a big handicap field on an
unbanked track to win the 3,000-meter
run at the Jefferson Club indoor track
and field meet in minutes 3845 Sec
onds, less than 13 seconds above Paavo
Nurmi's world mark.
McCluskey's performance, made in a
hot, dusty armory in Brooklyn, gave
promise of better time and perhaps
even new record for the distance
when he gets on a fast track, such as
the banked oval in Madison Square
Garden. It was in the old Garden in
minutes 262s seconds and he had to
wade through no such mwieldly field
as McCluskey faced.
The Fordham star gave away Is high
as 100 yards and led home three men
TO- whom he had given 40 yards each
by from 10 to so yards. It was his
third straight victory Of the young In
door season.
McCLUSkEY'S Olympic teammate,
1v1 Leo Sexton, could not match his
effort, losing for the second
straight time in a handicap shotput
The world indoor record holder with
a mark Of So feet 8as inches, Sexton
could do no better than so feet 11A
inches, and had to be content with
second place. Dave Adelman of the
Newark A. c., with a heave of 49 feet
3h inches and handicap Of feet,
won.
The twin feature to the 3,000-meter
run. the 1,500-meter event, turned into
an Australian pursuit race, with Frank
Nordell, star Of the New York Uni
versity team, loping along easily to win
by 40 yards in the slow time of 4
minutes q seconds.
Ed Siegel, former Brooklyn schoolboy
sprinter, continued his victory string
with easy wins in the 100-meter and
100-yard sprints, winning the former
in IL seconds and the yardage dash in
l0b. He swept the sprint series in the
K. of c. meet two weeks ago, setting

HHnADEPHIA, January Al
- Navy courtmen failed to check
the victorious run Of Penn here
tonight and bowed to . 3s-to-S4
defeat after a spirited basket ball game
on the Quaker Palestra floor before
some 1000.
Throughout the 40 minutes the 60
ing was nip and tuck, the fighting Mid
shipmen giving the Quakers a tough
fight to the finish. The inability of its
forwards and center to check an up-
floor attack, however, cost Navy the
game.
Penn tossed IA field goals and of this
number the pair of Quaker guards, KEEL
lett and Hashagen scored seven while
Freeman in center registered three. At
half time Penn led, 81 to IA.
1t was a magnificent battle that Penn
took away from Navy. From start to
finish the issue was always in doubt
and the Quakers were forced to dis
play tndomttable courage IS well as
artful basket ball to pull the imbroglio
out OF the fire after the Middies had
motted the count in the last few min
utes of play.
Raucous yelling sounded time and
again as the spectators were brought
to their feet by sensational shots and
rough and tumble scrimmages.
Only twice during the course of hos
tilities were the Middle courtmen able
to snare the lead over the Red and
Blue foemen, but the visitors were al
ways within striking distance of the
ultimate victorS.
