 Just when the Nsueatuck Valley League, which sponsors athletic competition between eight state high schools seems headed for . great season of basketball, the eI1- tire situation may evaporate and be no more. And again, 1t may come out of the mess stronger than ever. It all depends upon what happens at meeting of league officials to- night at Crosby high school.

 When the various school prti1ci- pals and some of the coaches gre called together by President J. Y. Prendergast of Arisonia, those con- cerncd are expected to lose no time in settling the Central-T -Torringt0n issue which came about when hoop game was cancelled by Gen. tral, after being arranged between the rival coaches. Coachcs Eddie Reilly of Bridgeport Central and Connie Donahue of Torrington and their principals will be very much in evidence, 1t is expected.

Columbia Student Breaks Indoor Mark for 100
 Meters

New York, Jan. 11.--UPJ--A new white hope" sprint star emerged from the first indoor track and field competition today to challenge the superiority of negro athletes over the shorter distances.
 The world record breaking per- formance of Herbert Weust. Colurn- bia University sophomore over 100 meters at the Columbus Council K. of c. meet Saturday night was seen as a threat to the monopoly on sprint honors held by Owens. Pea cock, Johnson and Metcalfe during the last few years. Weust, New Rochelle boy, was clocked in 10.6 seconds. clipping two-tentbs of a second of the indoor record of 108 set by New York's Flying Cop" Bob McAllister. in 1927. Weust beat out Marty Glickman. syracuse Uni- verSity Sprinter. a member of the Olympic team last summer.
 Another mark that seems destined to be broken soon is Paayo Nurmi's S:26.4 for 5000 meters. Donald Lash, Indiana's long ytriding senior, in his first indoor start not only outclassed his field in that event b,int nearly broke the American record of 8:3i.2
