Crosby Swimmers
 On The Way To Another Title

Coach J. o. P. Manherz has this year a speedy, dependable Crosby swimming aggregation to carry the torch of victory to greater heights than last years team which was rated along with the best in the state.
 Crosby possesses several sprinters, namely, Dick McCleary, Vic Rom anauskas, Tony Lombard and Bill O'Neil. Speaking of Bill O'Ne1l brings to mind the fact that three football players have joined this years squad, Bill, Tony Lombard and Ed Pagan.
 There are only three divers on this years team, John Holmes, Frank McGeever, who at the pres- ent time is ineligible, and Domenic Spallone, one of the finest in the state. Spallone is expected to shoulder the burden in this depart ment.
 Crosby tripped the Alumni splash CTS by 39-36. Meriden, their mex ; rival, was more easily subdued, with the old Ivy splashing out an cas- 56-19 rout. Their most recent vic tory was a 48-27 vanquishing of Bassick from Bridgeport. New Ha- ven and Hartford appear to be the most formidable obstacles in Crosby's path to state champion ship.
 Crosby encounters Warren Hard- ing high in the Park City on Feb- ruary 9th, but from then on the rest of the meets are listed at home. The one exception to this statement being the c: I. A. c. meet held in the Yale pool on March 15.

TODAY'S
 SPORT PARADE
aRY HENRY McLEMORE

BY HENRY McLEMOkE
 United Press Staff CorrespOndentl
 Arcadia, Cal, Feb. 1--(UP)-n h were always fair weather when good horses got together, Alfred Vand6ra bilt's Impound would be better than a fair bet to win the $10O;0OO Santa Anita Handicap here on March l.
 This big brown colt of Sun Beau ended a rest cure of nearly two years yesterday by winning 8 six furlong sprint in the handy timeaof 1:10.4. It was Impound's first tine out since May 13, 1889, when &he ran fourth to Challedon in the Preakness and bowed a tefdonosat the same time.
 Young Vanderbilt saw yesterdays race, and was as happy as fellow can be when he is down to his last IS or 20 million. Grinning, he told me Impound was one of the four horses to beat in the golden gall4p.
 "Impound now joins Challeddn, Midland, and Can't Wait as the big horses in the race," he said. "That is, if it doesn't rain. He goes only on fast track, and that goes for the Handicap as well as for the prep races"
 o. K. for Mud <
 I asked Vanderbilt if that meant Impound couldn't move in the mud. He said no, that the horse actually had a mud mark, but that he would not ricsk a recurrence of his injury. Given fair weather, Impound not only will shoot for the Santa Anita pot of gold but for the $50,0O0 San Juan Capistrano Stake and the 5OOOO Golden Gate Handicap .3at Albany.
 Impound is 6 good horse. A real good one in fact. He came out in 1888, year that produced such two-year -olds as Johnstown, Chal~ ledon, Gilded Knight, Porter,s Mite and Ciencia. He went to the post l6 times that year and while he only won one race he looked power- fully good in losing. It was his misfortune to always run up against rival who was having big day. There was that day at Belmont wlNn he was second by half length to Porter,s Mite, who turned the, 6 1-2 furlongs in world record time. He ran Johnstewn to a head at Laurel and was second to Chal- ledon in the New England Futurity. ,Impound was 8 hard knocking horse as Q three-year-old. He picked up . $10,000 stake here in California, beating, among others, Porter's Mite and Our Mat. He was third to Ciencia in the 10000 derby here, and went back to Havre de Grace to lick Challedon while los- ing to Gilded Knight. He was third to Johnstown in the Wood Mem- orial and fourth to Challedon in the PreakneSs. It is worth noting that after Q bad start in the PreakneSS he was a running fool at the finish and picked up 2 1-2 lengths on Challedon in the stretch.
 That was the race that laid him up. In chasing Challedon on the sloppy track at Baltimore Impound bowed tendon in his right fore leg. He could have raced four or five months later but Vanderbilt, knowing he had a real good horse, kept him idle. He wanted Impound to get good and sound.
 Impound was quoted at 100 to. 1 when the Santa Anita winter book opened. He was cut 30 to 1 and then 12 to just on reports of how well he was working. Now he is certain to be sliced to 8 or 6 to l, but If it comes up fair, that will be a nice price to have on him.

.MILLROSE GAMES
 SET I DWIGHT
Crowd of l7,OOO May See Six Records Broken at
 New York Garden

New York, Feb. 1.-(UP)-Six world indoor records may be broken tonight with the 33rd annual re- newal of the Millrose A. A. track and field games at Madison Square Garden. The 25 events are loaded with the cream of the country's spiked-shoe talent.
 A crowd of over 17,000 is expect ed to watch these record holders improve on their own marks-Jim Herbert, Grand Street boys, in the 600-yard dash; John Borican, El- beron, N. J., in the 1000 yards; Chuck Fenske of wisconsin in the mile; Greg Rice of South Bend, Ind, in the two mile; Allan Tol- mich of Detroit in the 60-yard high hurdles and New York University s 1eam in the one-mile relay.
 The relay program, actually a meet within a meet, will have 8 teams from 28 colleges in Il baton- passing contests. N. Y. D., fastest on the boards last year and holder Of the world mark of 3:15 for the mile, races against Georgetown and Pittsburgh. Schools from as far west as Michigan, the Big Three, the Little Three and the "Ivies" will handle the stick at one-mile, two-miles and 1B miles medley.
 Fenske will attempt to once again become the country's top miller in the Wanamaker mile, a distinction he enjoyed after equaling the worlds competitive record estab- lished by Glenn Cunningham, with a 4:07.4 effort last year. He faces Walter Mehl, former teamrnate: John Munski of Missouri: Les Mac Mitchell of N. Y. D.: and Paul Moore of Brea, Calf, world three quarter mile record holder. All with the exception of Moore, have beaten Fenske this season.

GREENPoINT FIVE OPPOSES K. OF L.
Classy Court Combine From Long Island Here
 Tonight

Two winning Streaks, one of con- siderable length, the other of modest proportions, collide this evening at St. JoSeph's hall. The St. Joseph's team, from the Greenpoint section of New York, winner of its last IS games, faces the K. of L. victori- ous in its last three engagements in the g o'clock feature of a twin bill that gets underway at 7:30 with the Litchfield Cowboys taking on St. Jo- seph,s Holy Name, their only con- querors in Il games this season.
 The Greenpoint club, in rolling up its 15-game string, has taken the measure of the Canadian Klowns, House of David and Maspeth Trans
 figllrationS, among others. The Maspeth club. it will be remembered was the last club to beat the Knights doing the trick four weeks ago.
 Know Their Stuff
 A combination of pro and college
 stars makes the Greenpoint outfit as capable as any of the Liths have been called on to face this season. The college ranks are represented by Ted Schenk, of St. Johns, and Eddie Kien, of c. c. N. Y, with Willie Shu, Dick Cole, Dutch Hoefer, Bill Knapp and Ted Sestek, of pro fame, rounding out a capable squad.
 The teams, although not meeting for the past two seasons, are not strangers, having split four games three and four years ago.
 Coach Ray Daly will have nine players at his disposal as the Liths seek their fifth win in 10 starts, with Joe Swasey, John Kelly, Frank Saldukas, Joe Boley, Fred Ferrie, Nick Hudobenko, Vic Verbyla, Matty Sheehan and Joe Joyce on hand for duty.
 Dancing will follow the feature contest.

Brooklyn Texans were rather soft "pickings" for the Baldwin Props in the final half of a single league game at Washington Park Com munity court last night, the Props winning 40 to 25 after a 14-13 score at half time in their favor, and an 8-5 Texan lead at the quarter.
