But he would not yield. Even when I brought up the sub- ject of Dizzy Dean, his favorite topic of conversation, he refused to say word.
 Something Wrong
 When this climatic effort failed l knew it was no use arguing, so l fell to studying Dizzy hoping to de- termine the cause for this drastic change in personality. Naturally with Dizzy refusing to say anything my study had to be confined to outward appearances.
 In the face, Dizzy still is the Dizzy of several years years age when he was fresh out of Texa; and funds. His beauty then was o1 what I believe is catalogued as the honest, pioneer, and rugged" type It still is. His head is bit larger than when he was chucking fol Houston, but would still be described fast ball pitcher" shape. Anc as for his physique, he remains only leopard skin away from Tarzan

 Perhaps Dizzy's clothes have changed his personality. There was time no one would have hao any difficulty distinguishing be- tween him and Anthon Eden, but today Dig could spot the dappel British minister a pair of spats anc lick him to 1 and to o in a sar- toral double-header.

He was, to use the delightful phrase coined by Captain Moly- neaux, "a sight for sore eyes,"
 Whatever the cause, Dizzy has un- dergone tremendous change. Only recently he was made an honorary members of Daytona Beach Women'S Golf association, an honor which hs accepted with a speech that blend ed perfectly with the pastel tinted walls of the clubroom in which ht stood.
 To date he hasn't said bitter word against the Cardinals, Branch Hickey or Sam Breadon.

 Goal Drive; Leafs Lead
By United Press)

The Detroit Red Wings, who Topped into the cellar this season after winning two Stanley Cup championships, were the talk of the National Hockey league today as result of a sudden high scoring spree.
 The Wings piled up 14 points to their opponents l to win their last two starts and draw within one point of the third place Chicago Black Hawks in the American Di- vision of the circuit
 The Wings were invincible last night as they crushed Les Canadiens so, following up 6-1 triumph over the New York Americans last week. The Montrealers, challenging for first place in the Canadian DiVi- sion, were helpless before the hard checking Detroit defenseman. Blake suffered two cracked ribs in col lision with Goodfellow and Lewis of the Wings.
 The Toronto Maple Leafs failed to increase their lead, when they were stopped 2-1 by the New York Rangers, who continued their hot chase after the American Division leading Boston Bruins. Chicago failed to provide any opposition, and the Bruins roled up 7-2 score to maintain their three point margin at the head of the parade.

OLYMPICS ROUT YMHA COMBINE
 IN LOCAL TEST
Hebrews Humbled, 44=l5 on " Court; St. Anns,
 Squires Win

Exhibiting their best basketball of the season, Waterbury Olympics hoated to an easy victory over the Y. M. H. A. by a 44-15 margin in the top game of triple-header yester- day at the Central Y. M. c. A. Height and reach, combined with some steady shooting and excellent passwork and team play put the Olympics ahead early and kept them there, while the Jewish boys tried vainly to catch up with a ser ies of long shots few of which were effective. Olympics led 11-7 at the end of the first ten minutes of play, POLO at half time and rested on 38-12 lead going into the final heat a nifty zone defense holding the Hebrews to five points within the entire second half.
 For the winners, Sheriff Earl Lal- Her and Freddy Smith were stand outs on offense while Gene Swee- ney and Spadola contributed 13 points and played a bang-up floor game. Shapiro and N. Kabot were the most effective for the Y. M. H. A., Abe Steinman being held score less. Summary:

BEN JOHNSON IS NOW WORLD FASTEST HUMAN
Averaged 10 Yards Per Second for New World
 60 Yard Dash Mark

New York, Feb. 7.-(UP) Dim inutive Ben Johnson, Columbia's negro sprint star, was hailed as the worlds fastest human today follow ing his record breaking perform ances in the Millrose games.
 Before a capacity crowd of 17000 in Madison Square Garden Saturday night Johnson smashed the accepted indoor figures in the 60-yard dash. His performance won the New York sports writers acclaim as the "out- standing athlete of the Millrose games" His name. will be inscribed on the Rodman Wanamaker Inter national trophy.
 In his preliminary heat Johnson was clocked in 6.2 seconds, equaling the world mark held by such speed merchants as Jesse Owens, Loren Murchison, Jack Elder, Eulace Pea cock and others. On his next trip, in the semi-final, he lowered that by a tenth, and in the final he broke the tape in six seconds flat.
 Double Winner
 Forrest (Spec) Towns, Georgia, and AllanTolmich, Wayne, both broke the O75 record for covering 60 yards and topping five hurdles. Tolmich was timed in 07.4 in his pre- liminary heat, but failed to repeat it in the finals when Towns match ed that mark to win the event by a yard.
 Accuracy of the c1ocking of the interscbolastic mile-relay was ques- tioned in some circles when the schoolboy foursome from De La Sale Institute was tim d in 3:232 breaking all previous Millrose rec ords for the event, including club and collegiate team marks. This was ur-tenths of a second better than the Millrose record set by Pennsyl- vania. John Quigley, Louis Collado, George Tuknott and Eddie Rogers formed the De La Sale team.
 The third world record to be eclipsed was the l "a mile college relay when the North Texas State i team-Wayne and Blaine Rideout and Delmar and Elmer Brown-won the event in 7:275. shaving more than two seconds off the mark of 7:29.6 set by New York University in 1882.
 Won Again
 The perennial Kansan, Glenn Cunningham, won the Wanamaker mile as expected, beating out his fellow Kansan, Archie San Romani. It was Cunningham fifth victory in six Millrose mile starts, and gave him the first leg on his third Wana- maker trophy. He already has re- tired two.
 Don Lash, Indiana, holder of the world two mile record, won his speciality but failed to finish in the one mile run.
 The big surprise of the meet was Long" John Woodruff's failure to finish better than seventh in the 880-yard run which was won by Charley Beetham. formerly of Ohio State. It was the first defeat at this distance for the negro Olympic champion since Beetham nosed him out in the 1886 national champion ships.

NAUGATUCK CAN .CLINCH GROWN HERE THIS WEEK
Borough Boys Have Won IA Straight; TOrring=
 ton Tops Crosby

Naugatuck, Feb. 7-Because of improvement shown by the local high school basketball team in it's 40-31 triumph over Ansonia at the local Y Saturday night, Naugatuck hoop fans are predicting that the Garnet will score its 18th straight victory of the season Wednesday night when it meets Crosby high In Waterbury.
 Naugatuck swamped the Blue and White here early in the season but at that time Crosby was playing much worse than the form it has attained recently. Naugatuck was also playing somewhat better than it is now.
 Too Many Fouls
 Although the Ansonia game was marred, from the spectators view point. by strict calling of fouls by Referee Billy Coyle, the game was close throughout and the Garnet was extended to the limit to trim the fast down-valley team. The passing of the Garnet was consid- erably better than in the tilt with Torrington high here the previous Saturday.
 Ga.1 Winning Margin
 Two field goals by Mariana, two by Farrar and foul goals by Mariana and Caplicki enabled Naugatuck to take 25-16 lead in the third period, and although Arsonia spurted. Cud. dy sank two foul goals and one field shot and Farrar tossed one in from the floor to give the Garnet an apparently safe lead of 32-22 as the fourth period started. Ansonia tried in vain to overcome this mar gin in the final stanza which was featured by removal of three An- sonia players, Ellis, Yarovich and Radzevich and of Cuddy and Mari ano for Naugatuck, all via the four- foul rule.
 Although Farrar scored six points, he did not seem up to par but Vince Cuddy and Czaplicki carried the burdens, the former getting 3 point and the latter 8. Dunn. used as a substitute, showed promise, scoring points. Ellis led the visitors with points. A total of 40 fouls were called with the Garnet sinking 18 tries and Ansonia 9.
 The locau Reserves trimmed the Ansonia Seconds 45-28 with O'Con- nor and Garlinski featuring.
 Crosby Clipped
 Crosby was knocked out of sec- ond place in the Valley Loop Sat- urday night at Torrington when the Blue and White hGpeTuls absorbed 38 to g going over after a 14-l3 count at ha! ftime. Saporite and Daly with IA and 12 points were high pointers, Crosbys best effort being three field goals by Woods.
 Wilby, whose team has been rid- dled by book trouble and injuries took 32-15 drubbing Friday in the Park City.

BALLANCRUD SETS

 Although four seconds behind the winner, Freisinger's time of 2:18.9 bettered by II seconds the American record of 2:29.9 set by Ray Murray in 1892.
