Raiders Break Up
 Royals Win Streak

Coach Melchione's Brooklyn "Y" Raiders defeated the North End "Y" Royals Monday night before a ca pacity crowd. The Raiders not only continued their winning streak but put an end to the Royals winning streak who were undefeated until Monday night. The game looked like a runaway at first when the Raiders threw up five baskets in succession. Then the Royals, led by Valetto, put themselves right back in the game. The game ap- peared to be rough at times but there was a great deal of sports manship connected to both teams. In the last quarter Captains Petit of the Raiders and Russo of the Royals had to leave the game via the foul route. The game had the spectators on their feet at every turn as iJ was close right up to a few remaining minutes when the Raiders went to town to get them selves half dozen points. When the whistle finally blew we found that Captain Petit was outstanding for the Raiders with 10 points while Valetto tallide for his team with 10 points respectively. Belluci of the Raiders and RuSo of the Royals played a wonderful floor game al- though the latter failed to score.

 THREE CONTESTS
Two Games on Tap; CrOs- by at HOIyOke, Tops
 Grads. z7-24

Winners of three straight games, the yet to be beaten Wilby basket ball Wildcats comes up to it's first major test this evening, with the always aggressive St. Thomas Semi nary squad of Hartford as its op- position at the Wilby gym. Reserve teams of the two schools will meet in 7:30 preliminary game, with the major tussle to get under way at 8:45 o'clock.
 Against the Alumni, Meriden and Gilbert of Winsted, Wilby showed a scoring punch that will stand them in good stead against the Bloomfield seznirarians tonight, for the St. Thomas array can be de- pended upon, as a rule, to provide Wilby with the hardest kind of op- position, as the visitors also include 8 Waterbury boy, Greg Gilmartin, formerly of the Columbian Squires, who has been a major factor in the success of the Seminarians to date.
 Close Enough
 Last night, young but speedy Crosby high school hoop outfit out pointed the Alumni 27 to A in a very close game at Wilby gym, SUD- posed to be 8 "tune-up" for to- nights tusSle against Holyoke high team that looks like one of the best in years, according to word from Bill Heating, sports ed of the Hol- yoke Transcript. As it turned out, the Crosby kids had all they could do to outScore the grads, who had Briskel, Henry Koch, Don Walsh, Trinity captain, Pete McSherry, Gallulo, Jimmy Day of Iowa, last years Crosby captain, Malone, BorzilauSkas, Lord and MsNellis.
 There was much shooting but lit- tie scoring in the first half which Crosby led, 9 to 6, with the game getting faster and closer by the minute. being all even at 24 points with two minutes to go. Albie Kelly with Il points, including five field goals led the Crosby array, Fisher and Ha1rahar. who went well against Hartford Public, having an of night, with but three hoops be- tween them.

DLAIK RETURNS TO WEST POINT
 AS GRID COACH
First Civilian to Guide Army Football Squads;
 Duty" Called

Hanover, N. H., Dec. 26-(UP)- Dartmouth was without a football coaching staff today after releas- ing Head Coach Earl (Red0 Blaik and his assistants to permit them to assume similar positions at West Point, and it was believed the va- cancieS would remain thrilled for at least two months.
 The Dartmouth athletic council. which selected Blaik from a field of IA candidates after a comprehen- Sive survey, said it would make an- other long study before selecting replacementS.
 ished five-year contract was an- nounced yesterday. He will take to West Point his entire staff of Line Coach Harry (Fats) Ellinger, Back field Coach Andy GuStafson, End Coach Frank Moore, Freshman Coach Averill Daniell and Trainer Roland Bevan.
 Blaik, whose Dartmouth team toppled Cornell from the unbeaten ranks in 8 controversial 80 triumph in one of the 1940 seasons greatest upsets, wept as he submitted his resignation to Athletic Director William H. McCarter.
 T shall always feel close to Dart mouth" Blaik said. "It is difficult to leave but in these times, to re- turn to West Point is not only challenge but duty and privi- lege."
 Blaik, who came to Dartmouth with Ellinger from West Point where they had been assistant coaches had conferred with Army officials over the weekend. Friends said feeling of patriotic duty to his country motivated his decision. They said he was moved by the necessity to rebuild the morale of the Cadet football team.
 Among Best
 McCarter said that Dartmouth regretted that Blaik had felt it his duty to go to West Point and con4 graduated the Army on acquiring one of the best coaching staffs il the country"
 Blaik, who becomes West Point, first civilian head coach, succeedx Capt. William H. Wood, recently transferred to active service. Both Blaik and Ellinger were Army graduates Blaik served as a second lieutenant for two years after grad- uating and then resigned. Ellinger was not commissioned on gradua. tion due to a physical disability.
 During Blaik,s seven seasons at Dartmouth, his teams won 45 games lost 15, tied four. The Big Green was held scorelesS only twice iu that stretch. Between 1886 and 1888 Dartmouth went through 2l games undefeated and twice won the mythical Ivy League championship His 1885 team defeated Yale for the first time in Dartmouth history. Blaik's teams were characterized by consistent lines, smartly-drilled backs and hard-hitting, all-around play. He stressed discipline and fun- damentals. The spirit of his teams was probably best exemplified by the mediocre 1940 eleven,s win over Cornell a prohibitive favorite.

Dew And Taylor Fight In Florida

Coral Gables, Fla, Dec. 26.-(UP) Jockey Earl Dew of Sac City, la, was still three up over Walter Lee Taylor of Houston, Tex, in the race toward the national riding cham pionship today-but at flsticuffs he could get nothing better than a draw.
 The two 19-year-olds swung punches after the third race al Tropical Park here yesterday, but they fought to no decision. The embroglio grew out of the duel be- tween Dew, astride Molest, and Taylor, who was up on Best Qual- ity. Other riders stepped in and stopped the flare-up, and Chief Steward Tom Thorp attributed the outbreak to competitive spirit"
 The riding race remained at the status quo when Dew romped home aboard Hazel F. in the second event and Taylor countered with a lass-minute score on Endymion in the eighth. At the end of the day the count was-Dew 283, Taylor 20O There are six more riding days un- til the end of the year, since Dew will fly to Califor.lia tomorrow night to take advantage of the Agua Cal- iente program on Sunday proceeds are used to assist in fi- nancing the athletic programs both intercollegiate and intramural --of the U. s.

TODAY'S SPORT PARADE
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan C0rresp0ndent)

Pasadena, Cal, Dec. 26 = (UP) Clark ShaughneSSy left the Uni- versity of Chicago to get away from six-man football, but now it looks as if ithat is what he might have to play in the Rose Bowl.
 Shaughnessy's Stanford Indians really are the vanishing Americans. They have been vanishing from the practice field to the doctors office and the hospital at the rate of two and three day. They're not spe- cializing on any one ailment, either, but rather they are playing the field. Some have had the flu, some have had colds, and some have had both of these plus tendon, ngament and kneecap trouble.
 The Stanfords with a huge Red Cross painted atop their special car, I presume) are scheduled to gather in this city of roses today. In order to carry on an intelligent conversa- ton with the coaching staff and players I have been reading up on medicine in my almanac. From what I've heard the boys don't dis cuss football much anymore, but spend their time exchanging recipes for cough syrup, discussing the merits of kerosene and sugar, fram- ing their x-ray plates and auto graphing one anothers mustard plasters.
 Even Coach Shaughnessy is said to have been influenced by the med ical talk, and is considering scrap ping the famed T-formation for a Rose Bowl offense based on Har- vey's theory of the circulation of the blood.
 Doctor Needed
 What a break 1t would have been for Nebraska if Coach Bin Jones had been far-sighted enough to have engaged a competent doctor to Scout the Indians. A doctor could have brought back 6 much more comprehensive diagnosis than any ordinary football scout.
