ENGLISH RACERS
 INVADE AMERICA IN SPEED QUEST

LONDON, Jan. 31.- Two of England's most famous race driv- CTS, Sir Malcolm Campbell and Capt. G. E. T. Eyston, are prepar- ing to burn up Americas super speedways during the coming year.
 Campbell's celebrated Bluebird II which already holds the world land speed record of over 272 miles an hour, will return to Daytona Beach cnce more in February in an ef- fort to lift the mark up to 300 miles an hour.
 More than IS months were spent in reconstructing the monster racer at a secret workshop outside Lon- don. Wind resistance. Sir Malcolm believes, has been reduced to an absolute minimum. Only the en- zine remains of the original Blue bird.
 Captain Eysson, and old rowing blue at Cambridge, is building q new machine at an estimated cost of over $60,O0O for a crack at the 24-hour record set by the American star, Alb Jenkins, at Salt Lake City few months ago.
 The new British creation, to be christened Speed of the Wind, will pack more than 300 horse power and is expected to attain a speed of around ITO miles an hour. Eyston, doing most of the driving himself, expects to average at least 140 miles an hour for the long grind round and round the big circular track laid out on the dry bed of salt lake. Jenkins rec ord was slightly over l27 miles per hour.
 Eyston expects to make his at- tempt in July or August.

 HOOP TILTS SET
 FOR TOMORROW
Concreters, Juneau Fire men Meet in Fea-
 ture Go
GAMES TOMORROW At Juneau High School - Mo0se vs Douglas Bremen at 7:30 o'clock; Krause COncret- CTS vs Juneau Bremen at S:30 o'clock.

Frozen" out week ago by bit ter cold weather, two games in the City Basketball League will be played at Juneau High Schoo gymnasium tomorrow night. The re- scheduled tilts offer enough po- tentially torrid action to perform a convincing "thaw"
 The curtain-raiser at 7:30 o'clock will find the Moose and the Douglas Bremen engaged, while an hour later, the Krause Con- creters mix with the Juneau Fire men.
 This latter engagement promises to be the feature attraction. Dur ing the first half of the seasons play, the Krause team remained in second place, with the Juneau Bremen rating a much lower spot But now things are different. The Bremen, so far, are undefeated ir two starts and are tied for the loop lead with the DeMolays. The tall Concreters, on the other hand are tied for fourth place with 6 victory and a defeat in as many games.
 Undoubtedly, the Firemen art as fighting" a group of player: as any in the league. Equipped with veterans who know what tC do with the casaba, they are al. ways hard to beat. Although the Concreters rearranged their per. sonnel to some extent in this sec ond half, they failed to show mucf team work in their first game But they clicked well in spot! Tuesday night as they nosed out Juneau High School, 28 to 26, SC should give the Bremen plenty to think about tomorrow.
 In the opener, the Moose-beater twice-will be aiming for theil first victory against the Dougla! club, which, in turn, will be bat ting hard for win in order tt stay in the championship running

 PLAY ADOPTED
Creighton Quint Goes Back to Former Days of
 Offensive

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 31.-Coach A. A. Schabinger has reversed the usual method of things with his Creighton university basketball team this year and the new has given way to the old in the of fensive tactics of the Bluejays.
 Schabinger is going back to the days of a dozen years ago. The reason for the change is that for the first time in that many years the Bluejays, almost perennial winners of the old North Central conference championships, lacks a giant center.
 The jc5 o1 nlnng the shoes of Willard Schmidt, six foot, eight inch Missouri Valley conference center, is the biggest one Schabin- ger faced as he prepared for the 2O-game schedule facing the Blue jays.
 With George Busch, sophomore as pivot man, Schabinger expects to deviate from his practice of the past dozen years of playing man in the hole" at the free throw line.
 Schabinger has a capable crew of veterans to fill other positions on the team, including Emil Box Englebretson, whose six feet two inches will top the rest of the squad, and Jack Lomax, forwards, and Captain Mike O'Leary ano Ed Brick, guards.
 Creighton plays six intersection al contests.

BOGUS CLERGYMAN
 VICTIMIZED MANY
Father VaIentieius Num- bered Among Scores
 FIeeced By Alien

One of the Connecticut priests fleeced of money by Disho Nicholas Totl, 32 year old alien now held in Hartford by immigration authorl- ties, was Rev Joseph J. Valantie- jus, pastor of St Joseph's church here, it was reported from Hart ford today. Documents found in the seIf-styled priests" posses sions show that he secured $20 from the local pastor, who told priests about the diocese that he was securing funds for Syrian refugees.
 Questioning of the suspect at Hartford police headquarters by Inspector Roland Kenney brought a confession that he and com- panions have swindled priests all over the country. Travelling under the alias of "Rev Guillane Hanna, |" he secured more than $500 in two weeks from Connecticut priests.
 Another of the priests swindled was Rev John Dowd of Sharon, former assistant paster of the Im- maculate Conception church here.
 Toti claims that he did send some money to friends in Mespo- tamia, but has admitted that he did not devote the money to char ity.
 The papers and documents in his possession show swindling on a wholesale scale all over this country. At one time, Toti gained an audience with the emperor of China, was met with a full military staff and given high honors. Then the emperor gave him almost $1.000.
 Toti is held as an illegally-en tered alien.
