Those funny men are here again and tonights the night for the bts weekly circus presented by . grapy bling group that has not yet failed to provide a lively evenings enter- tainment whether one expects to see wrestling, a free-for-all or some faces that would sour milk in splits seconds. In the main go of the five bout program lined up by Jumping Joe Zonsin, the New Haven philan. thropist, Maurice Leo CaveM and Max the Panther will tangle for the first time though each has shown to considerable advantage on several occasions within the past two sea: sons.
 Know Their Stuff
 Both the Panther and Cavell are seasoned, able and clever wrestlers who mix in enough sill with their work to go gain the reputation they now hold and consistent demand for encore bouts in this city. The Panther, who usese pet snarl that would curl your hair, if 1t happens to be straight on fiankings your skull on the north side. is expected to win the two out of three fall match, though Cavell will be in the picture every minute, and possibly make third and deciding fall nec- essary. A 9O-minute draw is, very doubtful. <
 Good Boy
 Ace Gordon, protege of Karl Pos jello who made quite hit with the Waterbury mat addicts two weeks ago will be back with a bang this time to tangle with the tough Stan- ley zalinski of Boston while Steve Rose of Maine and the Red Dragon ought to put on one of the best bouts of the program in halt hour battle. In the opening bout. Benito Monica of Long Island will meet Harry Shapiro Jewish wrestler of considerable renown ip the metro- politan district.

 Boston, April 2-(UP)-Letting the sports chips fall where they may:--
 It isn't very often that a foot ball player, or any other athlete for that matter, goes out of the way to lalld a rival but that's just exactly what Dave Camerer, tackle on Dartmouth's powerful 1o36 team, does in a Straight-from-the shoul- der article on Football From the Inside Out"
 Writing in the current issue of the Dartmouth Alumni magazine, Camerer says, in reviewing the game against YaleI
 ". I feel that Clint Frank is about the best example of what back should possess. He has every- thing spirit, fight and guts, plus the natural instincts and complete knowledge of the situation at all times. Beyond a doubt he was the best back this club met all sea- son. He says little but plays g lot of ball."
 And" Camerer adds, "as for Larry Kelley-a damn fine gent with a sense of humor, its true, but not the wisecracking, hot shot, irrepressible laughing Larry that the sports columnists have made of him.
 i've played against him on and off for four years and in that time he never laid his teammates or op- ponents upon the greensward with his humor. No, he keeps his mouth shut for the most part and plays ball. Kelley. Frank and nine other guys were the Yale team last sea-

NATIONAL A.A.U. SWIM AT YALE POOL THURSDAY
Medica, Degener Will Not Defend TitlesGreat
 Program
BY c. FREDERICK MULLEN

(Unlted Press Sta1f COrfeSp0mde
 New Haven, Conn, April 2. - (UP) = Jack Medica, ace of middle distance swimmers, will be unable to defend his many titles when leading mermen of the country gather here next week for the National Amateur Athletic Unions indoor tournament.
 The three-day tournament, open ing April 8, promises to be the big gest in the history of the unions swimming and diving champion ships. The events will be held in the pool of Yaie's Payne Whitney gym. naSium with Bob Kiphuth, Yale swimming mentor, as host. More than 100 stars countrywide were expected to enter.
 Medica now is in Australia and leaves his class open to Peter Flick and promising group of col- lege stars. The diving title also is undefended as Richard Degr1er, De- troit expert, has turned professional. Interest in this event will reyolve about Jinlm Patterson and Ben Grady, of Ohio State, while the dark horse is Bob Smith, 8 Connecticalt high school boy, who holds the state title.
 With their abilities based upon the results in last weeks intercolle- giate meet at Minneapolis, college swimmers are expected to provide the punch to the meet. But in the backstroke event, 8 intercollegiate entry, Adolph Kiefer, should have little difficulty in defending his previous laurels.
 Sonny Boy" Kiefer, who wears the colors of the Lake Shore Athletic Club in Chicago, not only holds the Olympic title, but is ranked by Kip- huth as the worlds greatest swim mer in his class. Al Vande Weghe, of Princeton, will undoubtedly give Kiefer tough battle, and pcssibili- ties are seen in William Y ,unzig, Ohio State, who now holds the in- tercollegiate crown.
 Medica's absence leaves Flick as the natural successor to his title, but Flick will not find the field lack ing in competition. He must con- sider Charlie Hutter, Harvard Mer- man who slashed Yale,s long string of dual meet victorines: Ray Walters, Iowa; Ed Kirar, Michigan; Ray Gisbourne, Pennsylvania; Waldemar Tomski, Michigan, and few others.
 Flanagan's test in the middle dis tances will come when he faces Tom Haynie, of Michigan University, who holds the intercollegiate crown in the 22O. Holding almost equal chances to win the title are Dexter Woodford, Ohio State, Johnny Macionis, of Yale, who was a mem- Der of the 1936 Olympic team; Charlie Wilson, of Chicago, and Norman Lewis, of Illinois.
 The three-day meet will consist Of a complete meet each day, with the heats in the afternoon and the finals at night The schedule fol- lows:
 Thursday, April 8 - l5O-yard stroke; 100-yard free style; low board diving; 300-yard medley swim.
 Friday = 220-yard free style; 22O- yard breaststroke; 400-yard relay.

 key Honor
(By United Press)

National hockey league champions for the second successive season, the Detroit Red Wings awaited to- day the outcome of the Stanley Cup semi finals between the New York Rangers and the Montreal Maroons. They will have to beat teh winner of this series to retain the prized Stanley trophy another year.
 The Wings battled their way to the league title over Les Canadiens. winning the fifth and deciding game or their f1rst-place playoff, 2-l, last night after 5l minutes and 49 sec- onds of overtime play. Meantime the Rangers grabbed the first of their two-out.of-three series with the Maroons, 10.
 It was Hec Kilrea,s tally that broke a l-1 deadlock and clinched the championship for Detroit. Ebbie Goodfellow had sent the Wings in- to the lead with a long, scoring drive from the blue line in the first period, but Bill McKenzie's tying counter ill the third sent the battle into extra time.
 The game marked 8 return to the ice of Detroit Goalie Normie Smith who was layed up with a partially paralyzed arm during the two games Les Canadiens won on home ice. With Smith in the nets the Wings had walked away with the first two games, 5-1 and 40. The Cana : diens had taken the last two by identical margins, 3-l.
 In the semi-f1nal clash, it was Babe Prar, 21-year-old defense star. who tailed in the first period to defeat teh Maroons. The Rangers. fresh from a. two-straight win over the Toronto Maple Leafs in the third-uplace playoffs, played inspir- ed hockey last night to turn back the powerful Maroon offense. Goalie Dave Kerr was the focal point of the defense. He was forced to turn aside 34 Maroon shots at the goal. compared to the 19 saves registered to Bill Beveridge.
 The series continues in Montreal tomorrow night.

 Boston, April 2.-(UP)-To start with, let me explain that I am a blue-eyed blond, 40 years old and good looking, but married.
 My greatest weakness is big black cigars-lots of them. That's how I got my nickname. I also drink plenty of beer and enjoy night club life. And guess that? I'm a run ming instructor.
 It might surprise you to know that I never train. Even .so.. I have nall- aged to finish the B.A.A. marathon, 10 times in 27 starts. Not bad, huh? I expect to finish this year, too~- first. I hope.
 I believe in being happy-ge-lucky and smoking lot of cigars. AS a matter of fact, expect to smoke up 10 cigars in covering the 2e- le-385-yard course.
 As for running records, never made any. But ! do claim all the cigar smoking records. Whats more, I'm the first and only cigar smoking riarathoner in the world.
 Come to think of it, can claim one running record-running up and down the 26 flights of stairs in the Boston Customs House in seven minutes fiat.
 All kidding aside, though, I think Mel Porter of Newark, N. J., will win this years marathon. He's about due. For second place, I pick John ny Kelley of Arlington and Walter Young of Canada is my choice to nish in third place.
