EAGLE SURE HE
 CAN STOP MANN

New Haven, Feb. 7.-Charlie Eagle, Waterbury Pole, who boxes Nathan Mann, New England heavy weight champion, in a 12-round title fight at the Arena on next Thursday night. has never b.. 4 kayoed, and doesn't figure on hav- ing that record spoiled by Mann.
 In fact, Eagle predicts a kayo win for himself. The Brass City scrapper isn't over-confident, but he just feels that since he knows Mates style and just how much the lat- ter can absorb, he has a plan of attack which will stop the Hamden- ite.
 Eagle Is a puncher as well as a boxer. He can mix 1t, fight from a stand-up position or from a crouch. and is very capable at tieing up an opponent inside. Mann likes to work in close and use hooks for a body attack.
 On the other hand. Mann Is glad that he is meeting Eagle. for Natei wants to settle the Eagle issue once and for all. Charlie has been toss- Ing challenges at Mann for the past two years. but Mates former mar- ager, Marty Krompler refused to meet Eagle. However. Joe Could, Manns new manager, immediately agreed Co take on Eagle.

Crosby And W1lby Second Hoop Game Figures As Toss-
Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY McLEM0RE United Press Stan COrrespOndent)

Los Angeles, Feb. 7-(UP)- The time is ripe for some enterprising promoter to open a race track where no races will be held.
 That the long suffering public is ready for such a venture was proved at Santa Anita yesterday afternoon when, with the biggest weekday crowd in history in the stands, a strike by the groomS forced the poStponement of the entire card.
 The announcement over the loud- speaker that all eight races had been called off was greeted by a tumult of cheers. It was the sort of cheer, only louder, that goes up when trapped miner is rescued from the shaft. Men slapped one another on the back. Women eX- changed congratulations. The gen. eral feeling was that disaster had been averted,, and that not one of the thousands at the track was go- ing to lose a penny on the races that day.
 Looking down on the crowd one could see all the faces brighten, as if master plastic surgeon had re- moved every one of care and worry from the hard working bettors. Lit tie children when teacher doesn't show up for class, the bettors troop ed to the bars and restaurants and vied with one another to stand the drinks and food with the money they hadn't lost.
 For two or more hours after the cancellation of the races the crowd stayed on. For the first time, it seemed, the bettors realized the beauty of the place. The flower drenched infield, with its nearly million buds, drew the attention that usually was showered on some knock-kneed claiming platter, and the snow capped mountains, majes- tic in their purple mantle of haze, drew "Ohs" and Ans from citi- zens who, up until the time the races were called off, had overlook ed nautre's handiwork in favor of bay gelding with early foot and tendency to bear out on the turns. There was such a general feeling of peace and security that when three or four horses were brought out on the track for workouts, they were greeted with boos. The folk didn't even seem to want a reminder of the horrors of racing.
 Racing will be resumed at Santa l Anita, but fear it will never have the fascination it once did. Ger tainly not for the some 25,000 citi- zens who were tEere when there weren't any horses running, and who thus learned how glorious the world can be when the thorough breds are behind locked stalls, when the poto-finish cameras eyes are closed in slumber, the lights on the payoff board are dimmed, and the mutuel machines mechanism is stilled.
 What a pleasure it was to look ] out on the track and not see a horse

carrying our two dollar bill en- twined in his mane quitting at the 18th pole. What a joy 1t was to look at your watch at 1 p. m. and know that you were just as well off, just as rich, as you were when you came in the gates at 1:30. And, to the few genuine lovers of the thorough bred, how comforting it was to know that on a day when the track was fetlock deep in mud, that the noble beasts were bedded down in sweet straw and not out riSking their lives in the sloppy goo. That was improv- ing the breed at it's very best, be- cause not even the maddest veter- marian would recommend sending a sentivtie, royal blooded horse out to slide and slip through the mud.
 Even the little children who were at the track were made happy by the cancellation. They ran around gathering the discarded programs after the track officials announced a refund on them. This reporter is happy to announce that he still is young enough and frisky enough to play at games with children. A sharp faced little moppet with red hair and myself collected A pro- grams together.
 All in all, a glorious day.

HOPPE'S SKILL
 WINS ANOTHER
 CLOSE CONTEST
Joe ChamaCO Loses to Champ 47=5O Despite
 High Run of Eight

Chicago, Feb. 7.-(UP)-The go- ing was getting rough for Willie Hoppe today in the world three. cushion billiard tournament as tht master matched his skill agains seasoned veterans competing among themselves for the distinction of be. ing the first to defeat the champion
 Hoppe was alone among the 1t contestants with a perfect record o. 10 victories despite strong opposi. tion again last night when he met the skillful but cratic Joe ChamacC of Mexico City and won, 50 to 47 btu only after 54-inning struggle This after having edged out Johr Fitzpatrick of Los Angeles the pre-. vious day, 50 to 49 in 58 innings.
 Still more difficult matches were before him. Tonight Hoppe meets Arthur Thurnblad of Kenosha, Wis. former champion who has won eight and lost three.
 Nip and Tuck
 An over-capacity crowd of 1,50C filled the bleachers in the gaudily decorated Arena last night to set Hoppe play Chamaco. Hoppe start. ed strong again with run of three in the first inning and run of foul in the third. But Chamaco, who wa. blanked in the first frame, scored one in the second and then rar eight in the third and took a leac he didn't relinquish until the 15tf inning whhen Hoppe scored a TUT of three to make the score 16 to Is
 After that, the lead changed ofter with Chamaco on the defensive ant Hoppe playing the leave 'em wher they can't shoot 'em" game fo which he is famous. In the 34th in ming Hoppe took advantage of Chamaco miscue and scored a rul of eight, matching Chamaco's bes effort, and then scored runs o three in each of the next two in nings. He held Chamaco almos scoreless during the last IS innings
 Thurnblad defeated Allen Hall c Chicago, 50 to 38 ill 38 inning Earle Lookabaugh of Chicago upse Fitzpatrick, 50 to AS, and Paul Levi of Chicago, completing his sched ule, defeated Irving Crane of 1.-Two mia, N. Y, 50 to 43 in a 7O-innin marathon.

RIVALS CLASH
 SATURDANFOR
 FINAL CONTEST
RinaIdi and WaIIin Give Wilby Edge; Reserves
 Prelim

With anything and everything liable to happen, Crosby and Wilby basketball squads come together for the second and last time this season Saturday night at the Wilby gym. On the basis of happenings since that game, won by Wilby 9 to 21 the Wildcats figure to repeat over Crosby though that is by no means a certainty aS the underdogs in these Crosby -Wilby affairs have disconcerting habit of upsetting pre- game calculations, regardless of tho sport concerned.
 However, the cold fact is that Wilby won the first game with Cros- by 9 to q, though the losers played better basketball. This time Wilby will be notably strengthened by Sonny Rinaldi and Red Wallin who had little book trouble which kept them out of action for Wilby earlier in the season, but since their return to the hop squad they have shown real ability to score, and, against Crosby, give Wilby quite an edge. Crosby has a young, fast but frail team which tires in the late third and fourth periods and is a "hot and cold" club.
 Uncertain
 Wilby on the other hand is stead fer and sturdier, but, with Rinaldi and Wallin, lost to a weak Meriden team week ago which it had beaten in this city. Therefore, you must toss a coin to make a selection to- morrow night. Wilby, without Rim aldi and Wallin, two better than fair players, defeated Crosby by one point, therefore should win with the pair in the lineup. But will 1t?
 As usual, the reserve teams of the two schools will get together in a prelim game that should be quite a treat in itself, from 7:30 on. The Miller-Walsh officiating team from the Middletown area will again work the varsity game, scheduled for starting about 8:45 o'clock. Tickets can be bought in advance at Biener's for 35 cents with 50 cent admis- sion in vogue at the door.

New Notre Dame Grid Coach To Be
 Named This Month

South Bend, Ind, Feb. 7.-(UP) A seven man faculty athletic board tonight will consider a list of candidates to succeed Elmer F. Layden, who resigned as athletic di- rector and head football coach at Notre Dame to become czar of the National Football league.
 The board will pass on its recom- mendations to the Rev. J. Hugh O'Donnell, Notre Danes president. O'Donnell said he would have his man selected before March 1.
 Action of the board probably will be confidential and there still was official hint to Layden's successor.
 On the campus, Lawrence T. (Buck) Shaw of Santa Clara and Joe Roland, present assistant on Notre Danes football staff, ap- peared to be the favorites.
 Frank Leahy of Boston College is also popular. Leahy, who recent ly signed a new five year contract, designed one of the fanciest varia- tions of the Notre Dame systems this fall.

The big news of the week was the decision of the captains to add an extra round onto the regular league schedule. a move which most of us welcomed with open arms. Oul little Friday night get-together has become such habit with most ot us, that we would feel lost from Monday to Thursday without that looking forward to bowling night feeling. The standing of the teams at the time of the act made il possible to add the extra weeks with out an injustice to anyone. Ii some team had built a pretty good lead, why then it would not have been fair to give the others more time to catch up. Such was not the case, so everyone is happy and we know of five teams that are going on after that perennial bacon ir earnest.
 Captain Eddie Duhamel has se- cured the services of "One Ball' Pete Rinaldi to replace his stal anchor man, Ralph Bradley, who leaves fo Ia yea rof military train ing Friday. Pete formerly rolled with B & J dusty league entry and should be just the man to fil! Bradley's shoes.
 The Reds lost their match to the Stripes in last weeks headlinel two games to one. The teams split the first two and Benny Alonzo's great string settled the last contest in favor of the league leaders. Benny came through with nifty 146 game
 The Whites cooled off the Blues who had thought they were ready to start the big push to the tor again, by winning two after the latter had taken a head start by winning the opening watch. Dick Owens, Harvey Green and Captain Carosella combined their efforts to put an abrupt halt to the Blues four game winning streak. The twir triumph left the two clubs dead locked for third place, four games out Of the lead.
 Bill Germans Eagles started tht evening off right by knocking the Stars off with ease, but then Ralph Bradley got rolling and his work meant the difference in those last two affairs despite some nifty bowl. ing by Cal White.
 Johnny Gaurino, the little fellow who made the big difference in Jot Howell's Reds was needed by Marie Straw last week who is still irked nc little by the failure of Bill Christie to pay her the four rye high ball. she won from him a month ago Marie's heckling took affect, too because Johnnie wasn't In his usu' ally fine form.

 What an improvement Mil D'An- gelo has made in her bowling the past few weeks. That is one of the big reasons, the Blues feel they are going to win the pennant yet and another is Jackie Hyland's fine bowling lately. With these two picking up all the time Christy fig ures it is only matter of time be- fore his gang slips into the lead. Hey, Bill, we'll bet we know five captains who don't think the same as you do.
 Joe Ariola has his Stripes up at the top, but he really has been letting us down of late. They cer- tainly are not bowling the games they are capable of. We mean that Joe himself, Ray Single and Ralph Rinaldi havent's been hitting them with the same consistency as in the past. And perhaps it is a good thing they haven't.
 Tonight's top offering brings the Stars and Blues head on - and plenty of good bowling should be in evidence. The Blues won two the last time these teams met and want to go one better tonight but that friends is tough task. No one has been able to take three from DuHamelS club since the season started.
 The Eagles, No. jinx to Ariola $ Stripes. will attempt to pull a sur prise on the leaders for the third straight time. Joe informed us that the Stripes haven't won two games from the Birds on a single night all year.
 The Reds and Whites both with good chances of finishing on top of the heat round out to-night's slate one of the best of the season These teams have taken great de- light in knocking each other off all year.
