Georgetown and Maryland will
run in the same 2-nile relay race
in the Seton Hall games next Mon

simply will be battling for crumbs.

can win rather easily if Kane can
get off within 25 yards of the lead.
Both Cochran and Kane will
double up. Cochran will run in the

Changed Style Turns
Munski Into Great
Mile Performer
Practices Only Sprints;
Port Of Success loid
To Singular Build
N the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
COLUMBIA, Mo, Jan. 30.-A year
of workouts as a sprinter have trans
formed John Munski from $3.50
runner to an Oh! Oh! miller.
The recent Missouri graduate went
East a year ago and tip-toed into
almost immediate obscurity by nm
ishing in the ruck at the Wana-
maker mile.
He returned to the Tiger campus
more chagrined than heart-broken,
and by the time of the Princeton
invitional had revamped his running
style to the extent that he won.
That started string of mile VIC
tories-on the puddle-dotted track
at Minnesota in the 1910 national
collegiates. the recent Sugar Bowl
games and at Boston two weeks ago.
Sees Munski as Unbeatable.
Right now Munski, who picked up
his earlier speed by cutracing his
10 sisters and brothers to the cookie
lar, is in New York for a series OF
races that includes the Wanamaker
mile Saturday night.
Back here on the Tiger campus
his coach, Jack Matthews, predicts
his protege will be unbeatable IN
the future if the former Lewiston,
Mont, youngster comes through the
ordeal without a too badly blemished
record.
For year now Munski has prac-
ticed only on sprints and the shorter
middle distance races in an effort
to develop a finishing kick" said
Matthews. John won both his big
races this winter by outsprinting the
boys to the tape"
Matthews fears that Walter
Mehl and Chuck Fenske, two for
mer Wisconsin whirlwinds who have
been Munskis most persistent foes
on the boards, will retaliate by
running the opening quarters a bit
faster
Wants to Learn to Dance.
But John was clocked in 3:03.7
for three-quarters of mile last
week and had enough left to fin
ish in about 4:08.5 or 400"
! Mehl shaded Munski in the Prout
Mile at Boston last Saturday, US
ing those tactics, with the outcome

Red Is Mere P|odder,
But Is Rated Above
Other Cha||engers
Dempsey's Proteee Not
Deemed Menace to Joe,
Despite His Courage
BY GAYLE TALBOT.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-The tight
ing record of Clarence (Red Bur-
man, while 1t is not particularly in
spring, reveals at least that Red
has more business getting in the
ring with Joe Louis tomorrow night
than had several alleged contenders
who wrangled bouts with the heavy
weight champion.
Far be it from this corner to at
tempt to build up quick case for
Jack Dempsey's former chauffeur.
Not in the face of the 10-to-1 odds
being quoted against him. He'll
probably get slugged silly. But it
is only fair to give Red his due
now. before it happens to him.
Red has been a good, but not
brilliant, journeyman fighter for
nearly 10 year, starting as a BAN
tamweight and building himself into
the big class by eating regularly.
Since 1886, when he began meeting
the better heavyweights, he has
won many more fights than he has
lost. He last was knocked out by
John Henry Lewis in 1886, when he
was light-heavy.
Red Better Than Others.
Offhand, Red is more deserving Of
a championship shot than were
Jack Roper. Harry Thomas, Johnny
Paychek, AL Mccoy and John Henry
Lewis, to list few of Louis victims.
Nathan Mann, Arturo Godoy and
Tommy Farr might be added to the
list. Lewis had been a great fighter,
but he was washed up when he met
the Bomber AS for Tommy Farr.
Burman won decision over him
in the Garden after the Welshman
had gone his heroic IS rounds with
Louis
So Burman is a long way from
being the softest touch the hard
working champion has encountered.
While veteran in experience, Red
still is young enough and strong
enough to take lot of beating, and
there is nothing in his record to
indicate he is a folder-upper
Sure. Louis probably will pop
him good. But. just the same, this
has been a remarkably good season
for the boys who are known as club
fighters" the ones who have
trouped the country's smaller cities,
scrapping every week or two and
pilino I'D experience.
Louis Apt to Be Razor Keen.
Burman belongs to this bunch,
and is becoming dangerous to bet
against them. Two of the ringlead-
ers, Fritizie Zivic and Ken Overlin,
recently dropped into the Garden
between sleeper jumps and grabbed
off the Welterweight and middle
weight championships. respectively.
The ring-wise old birds are making
it tough on the youngsters.
This is about the best that can
be said of Reds chances. He has
considerable on his side. including a
stout heart, but he happens to be
meeting great fighter tomorrow
night. Louis probably got a poor
fight out of his system against Al
Mccoy two months ago and will be
razor keen for this one. When he's
that way, it's simply not in the
cards for him to lose to a man who
is only good.

Having to Pull Own Sled
Thworts Champions Plan

Outdoors, it practically is impos-
sible for Joe to do any eating.
Right there you have one of the
most important bottlenecks in the
expansion program.
Another thing is the business of
sleds. Louis had great idea for
taking exercise outdoors without
losing weight.
Il will get me sled and coast
down that hill over there" he said.
That's nice work. and I will see
lot of scenery and improve my mind
without running nv digestion"
Fine" said his trainer, Jack
Blackburn. Its nice long hill"
Mr.. Louis discovered the truth
of this remark as soon as he got
to the bottom on his sled He
looked around for somebody to pull
the sled up again, but his sparrlng
partners and his secretary, antici-
pating this emergency, had gone
to the movies.
Nobody here to get the sled up
the hill again" Joe complained.
That's true" said Mr.. Blackburn,
scratching his head.
How about you?" said the cham
pion hopefully.
Me? With my sciatica?" said
Mr.. Blackburn, shocked. DO you
want to kill me?"
well. I don't want to kill my
self" muttered Mr. Louis, but fall
ing to see any help in sight, he
pulled the sled up himself, losing
half a pound of good, honest fat

that this got him nowhere. 1t was

 In the second half of 1940, said the high command, the German navy sank 12 enemy destroyers, eight submarines, nine auxiliary cruisers, three gunboats and 63 smaller warcraft. It was claimed that the air force sank g British naval vessels. The total tonnage of the naval sinkings was estimated at 190,0OO tons
 It was alleged that after June z5 the Royal Air Force lost about three times as many planes as the Luft- waffle.
 German Warship
 Berlin, Jan. 2-CUP)-The Ger man high command today identified a German sea-raider in the South Pacific as a "warship" and said # had reported sinking 10 British ships "or ships sailing in the enemy's service"
 The ships sunk by the raider to- tailed 64,155 tons, the high com- mand said. It added that the crews of the ships had been landed on a South Sea island.
 Melbourne dispatches reported arrival in Australia of nearly 500 passengers and members of crews from seven ships attacked by Ger man raider or raiders. The crews of three other ships were reported still captive. The survivors now in Australia were rescued by Austral- ian vessels from Emirau Island in the Bismarck archipelago.
 A high command communique said also that German planes last night successfully raided numerous "militarily important" objectiveS in central and southeastern England.
 During armed reconnaissance" yesterday it was claimed that a British patrol boat was set af1re of Aldeburgh and that another patrol vessel was damaged seriously east of Ramsgate by direct hit.

 Petain insists trhat he wants to collaborate with Germany inside the armistice agreement. But so long as there is no word from Hitler prog res in negotiations is impossible.
 There have been several signs of German displeasure at L,avals dis missal, among them the almost com plete closing of the boundary be- tween occupied and non-occupied territory, aside even from the Ger man failure to reply to Petain.
 Without divulging military secrets it is possible to say that according to reports here the Germans are very intently preparing the crucial final phase of their attack on Brit ain. They may attack, according to these reports, at any time that weather, fog and tides combine to give them the best chance.
 Pending resumption of negotia- tions with Germany, Petain is un- able to proceed with another little cabinet shakeup, again for purely domestic reasons, or with plans for national recovery.
 It was believed here that the early arrival of Admiral William E. Leahy, President Rooseveit's new ambas- sador to France, might be partly responsible for strain between Vichy and Berlin.
 Any tightening of French-Ameri- can relations, it was held, might rouse distrust in Germany, especial ly because it is believed here that Germany wants to keep France iSo- lated.
