If the Abbey 50-yard dash. one
of the co-features of Catholic Uni
versity's big indoor track meet to-
morrow night, didn't draw another
hlgh-class entrant it still would be
a swell race because of the pres
ence of two promising sophomores
of Vlllanova and Maryland.
For the Wildcats are sending here
none other than John Maher, a
sprint star who finished in a virtual
dead heat with Norwood EWell Of
Penn State when a new mark of
81 for the so was set at the Penn
A. c. games last month.
And Maryland will counter with
Joe Murphy. its own sensational
soph, who last week won the South
ern Conference championship of the
60-yard dash in ga.
1t also is likely that Leon Chabot

Anthony Thinks. He ,Beots
His Opponents

Recently Mr.. Jacobs had kidded
Anthony into thinking that his
stout left hand and nothing else was
responsible for the somersaults
turned before his very eyes by Harry
Thomas, Otis Thomas, Matte Brown.
Nathan Mann, Abe Feldman and
others.
Tony would throw left and
down the party of the second part
would go. 1t used to puzzle Tony
somewhat that the topple sometimes
anticipated the punch, But Mr..
Jacobs explained this in terms of
physics.
You see, Anthony, my fine young
meal ticket said Yussel. light
travels at the rate of 10000 feet per
second, except in school and hos
pltal zones and heavy traffic. Sound
don't travel anything like that fast.
Your eye tells you that your stooge
Il mean your opponent-has gone
down long before you hear the dull,
distant thud of the punch. That
is the source of the illusion under
-A>AAb ~ may cPCoh ~ dllhly, yOu
labor. Do you understand, my cor
pulent means of support?"
"Yes, and it sounds like a fair
proposition all around said Tony,
satisfied.
The fact was, of course, that
Brown, Mann and the Thomas boys
went down without very severe
punch.
But Joe Louis won't know of any
OF this and Joe, laundering along in
a maze Of ignorance, will make one
silly mistake after another until he
knocks Tony's head off it's hinges.
That will be a good joke on the
champion and merry prank at
Iony's expense, to boot. Both boys
have keen sense of humor and
doubtless will get kick out of the
episode when it is explained to them
later.
Naturally, if Tony happens to
knock out Joe, the joke will be on
Mr.. Jacobs. But Yussel can take it,

RALEIGH, N. c., March 3.-Dark
horses will roam the range of the
Southern Conference basket ball
tournament tonight. Only one IA
vored -Maryland-will be in
the semi-finals.
The dope buckets splashed over in
yesterdays second round, and add
ing to the commotion was the way
Clemson defeated the top-seeded
Wake Forest Demon Deacons, 1923.
A basket by Banks McFadden kept
the Tigers in the running as he
tossed 1t in with but a couple of
minutes left to play.
Terps Face N. C. State.
Clemson will meet Davidson in the
second encounter of tonight's pro-
gram, N. C. State and Maryland will
play in the first.
Davidson could thank Ned Iver-
son, its offensive master, for its vic
tory over Washington and Lee. 1t
was he who started rally that shot
the Wildcats ahead and it was di-
minutive Johnny Tice, one of the
smallest men Of the tourney, that
kept them there. Tice bottled up
Dick Pinck, the Generals ace tosser,
and tossed in nine points to aid his
mates in their 1882 victory.
Maryland had the game seWed up
midway the first half, scored when
there was need and won from Rich
mond, 47-32. The Spiders led 10 to S
after the first II minutes, but Cen
ter Eddie johnson, who scored 18
points, began exhibiting his talents
and Maryland marched ahead. And
there the Old Liners remained.
George De Witt. Maryland for
ward. got Is points and George
Knepley, the Terps' ace guard.
made and played a wonderful all
around game.
Red Terrors Pressed.
N. C. State polished off the Cita-
del. 4O-3o, but not until the Cadets
from Charleston. S. c., had thrown
a fear into the Red Terrors. Capt.
Toby Holt and Jake Burrows of the
Citadel tossed in baskets during the
last 80 seconds in valiant attempt
to move into at least a tie, but the
N. c. State defense tightened.
The last half was 13 minutes old
when the Citadel tied the score at
31-an. Bill Mann put the Terrors
IN the lead again, and they managed
to hold onto the advantage.
Approximately $500 persons saw
yesterday afternoons exhibitions.
A capacity crowd of 1000 was on
hand last night.
The defeat of Wake Forest, which

Maher has been a standout sprinter
since his early high school days
While at West Philadelphia Catho-
lie two years ago Maher won the
national Catholic interscholastic
championship of the 100 in 9.7. AL
though the Wildcat speedster is bet
ter known for his records in outdoor
events, his performances in ma jor
meets this winter have stamped him
as real conner. He furnished the
stiffest sort of competition for the
Nations top-f1ight sprinters in both
the Millrose and N. Y. A. c. meets
at Madison Square Garden and is
said to be popped for his effort in
the Abbey classic.
Maher also is teamed with Tom
McCabe, Barney Bellew and Pete

lay team, this quartet winning in
the Seton Hall meet at Newark in

GoIento's Doom Sealed,
Unless He Uses Kris
By JOHN LARDNER,
Special Correspondent Of The Star.

Special Correspondent OF The Star.
NEW YORK. March 3.-Though
Tony Galentos doom is sealed
wait minute, Miss Snood, strike
that line out. 1t sounds sort of
familiar, Look through the files
for 1896. Take that gum out of your
mouth. You've got it? Oh, yes,
though Max Schmeling's doom is
sealed"
Well, you have to be wrong once
In a while, and none of your lip. Miss
Snood. AS matter of fact, have
a sneaking suspicion that Louis
blew that fight with Schmeling just
to make me look bad. Joe can
carry grudge long way, and I
think it is pretty significant that,
just before the fight. we quarreled
over Brahms influence on the
nibelungen cycle of Wagner, Joe
insisting that the leitmotif was neo-
classical.
"Laroy, you have the soul of a
peasant he finally told me, in a
burst of temper The veriest dull
lard can see that transition from
the minor seventh in the fourth
bar of the coda"
'Nuts!" I replied, and Joe prompt
ly wNlt out and got himself slugged
by Schmeling, making me look the
worst kind of bum as prophet.
Jacobs, Fun Loving Pilot,
PIoys Pronk on Tony
Well, as I was saying, it pays to
be careful how you go flinging out
phrases like Tony Galento's doom
is sealed" No fight result is a
foregone conclusion. Come to think
OF 1t there are several ways Galento
can beat the champion of the world
when they meet next June, as for
instance:
l. He can bring a gun along and
shoot Joe through the head.
2. He can lurk in the chandelier
over the ring and drop down on the
champions neck and hammer Joe
unconscious with a gavel or small
croquet mallet.
3. He can run over Joe in his car.
4. He can shoot him with a bow
and arrow.
5. He can stab him with clay

dart, javelin, jereed, lance, pike,
spear or spontoon.
He might even catch him with a
left hook and knock him boWlegged,
but seeing is believing.
This fight is going to be a funny
experience for Tony Well not ex-
actly funny. It will be many days
before he can laugh without expert
encing a shooting pain where the
side of his chin used to be. But,
once he has recovered, I think Tony
will get hearty chuckle out of the
prank that his fun-leving manager,
Mr.. Yussel the Muscle Jacobs, has
played him.

SUBMARINE SUNK;
 NO SHOTS FIRED
 BY FRENCH GRAFT
Peculiar Accident Occurs, According 10 Report,
 Off Coast

PARIS, Oct. 6.-The French Ad- miralty discl oses that small French oil tanker had sunk Ger man submarine without firing shot.
 The Admiralty reports that the tanker's captain declared his vessel was proceeding through submarine infested waters when it received a terrific jolt on the right side.
 The collision was accompanied by an explosion which shook the tanker from stem to stern. A large crater opened in the sea and water spout shot up as high as the bridge of the tanker.
 A large quantity of oil then ap- peared on the surface of the water
 When the tanker arrived at its mooring ground and was drydocked it was discovered to have deep dent in it's hull.
 Naval authorities said the tanker had rammed the U-boat unwittingly when the submarine was close to the surface. They added that the explosion probably was caused by a torpedo which was already in the tubs ready for firing when the col lision took place.

The British Government an- nounces that Hitler's peace propos- als will be carefully examined and discussed with France while semi official French sources scorned the proposals as based on exploitation of Central and Eastern Europe
 The official British statement de- clared no peace proposal is likely to be accepted which does not effect free Europe and menace to ag- gression and that something more than words are required to estab- fish confidence"
 In semi-official French quarters it is said Hitler's speech followed the lines expected and added that his inferential suggestion of the ere ation of a small Polish buffer state with Germany and Russia partition ing the rest of the ountry, had been turned down by the British and French statesmen even before 1t was made.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Oct 6.-Fire Department inspectors blamed bull fiddle of a red hot orchestra for the starting of the fire that destroyed the half million dollar Palomar ball room Sunday night.
 Captain Whelan said that strings of the bull fiddle were coated heav- fly with resin to give out the semi melodious sound that is sometimes forthcoming from the instrument.
 Investigators have determined the fiddler wiped off the strings and then threw the resin saturated rag over onto a footlight near a cur- tain. When the stage suddendly burst into flames all dancers, mu- sicians and other employees made an orderly exit without personal in iurieS.

 IS SEEDED UP
Four Speeches Made Dur ing Day-Chdnges in

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Senate debate on neutrality speeded up yesterday as attendance dropped off and neither side seemed to be win ming any substantial number of new votes.
 The Administration claims to have inched up to a two to one margin in favor of repeating the arms em- bargo
 The isolationistS insisted how ever, that their opponents are count ing 25 doubtful votes.
 Four Senators had their say in the third day of the great debate which represented a 100 percent speed up in getting rid of the speech es.
 Gallery and floor attendance both dropped considerable.
 Meanwhile sponsors of the Ad- minisration bill in indicated d they might attempt to ease somewhat the drastic restrictions imposed by the measure upon ocean shipping.
 Senator Walter F. George of Geor- gia said the Foreign Relations Com mittee might soon consider the pleas of shippers who say they face ruin
 Isolationist Senators concentrat- ed their fire against arms embargo repeal and tried to drive wedge into the Administration bill to split off the embargo question for separ- ate debate.
 Republican Senator Charles Tobey of Vermont led this drive with an appeal for immediate passage of the cash and carry sections of the Administration bill. Tobey main- tained that these restrictions on shipping are immediately necessary, but that the Senate can debate the more controversial embargo issue at leisure.

Juneau Snowfall Earliest In 37 Years

The earliest heavy snowfall on record whitened Juneau's roof tops, hills and streets today. Starting at 3:55 o'clock this morning, the snow was still com ing down llte this afternoon, though a Weather Bureau fore cast is for rain tonight.
 The Weather Bureau reports the snowfall, which totaled three inches at noon today, was the heaviest on record for so early in the year. Records of the past g years were searched in vain for a snowfall as heavy and early as tOday's.
