The program lists 50 many out. standing events that it's hard to single out any one feature attract ion but the 18th running of the Columbian mile will do for a starter. Leslie MacMitchell, New York uni. versity's sophomore star, goes against Walter Mehl, Wisconsin acc, in their seventh and rubber meeting of the season.
 Real Rivals Mehl and MacMitchell have TUT against each other six times ane each has emerged victorious three times. MacMitchell is the favorite however, because he has won his last five straight starts at the dis. tance, including world tying 4:07.4 In the New York A. O. games. Greg Rice makes his final New York appearance of an all-conquer. ing season in the Bishop Donahue two-mile. Rice has won 15 straight board-floor races in two seasons, in- cluding all his eight starts this year.
 Jimmy Herbert and Charley Bee- tham, even ct two victories apiece, run of their rubber match in tho Casey 600.

O., stand at three- all at distances ranging from 880 yards to 1000 and will run 1t out in the latter event.

Waterbury or Torrington will be the resident city of the Naugatuck Valley basketball tournament win- ner, according to the result of the championship game tonight at the Boys Club gym.

 Varsity Girls of the Boys CluG: and the Waterville girls will meet tonight in @ preliminary game to the title contest.
 Good Start
 The St. Joseph team started of like house aflre and looked like the champions they once were. With Katz and Salemonas sinking two apiece and Meyers tossing in one the St. Joes' ran up e ten to Ave lead at the end of the quarter and looked far the better team. Going into the second period Herb French and Monti took over for the AS and chucked in enough hoops to give their club @ one point ad- vantage at half time. The third period was all for the numerical club with Fran Donnelly tossing i'll three hoops within two minutes which was better than the entire Holly Name quintet could do in the eight minutes of the period. It was this big third session that gave the 444's enough to win without being pushed too much and when the game ended they won going away with Charlie Armstrong and Don- nelly parting the strings to give them Q final 4i to 30 verdict over Q smooth passing but weak shoot- ing St. Joseph team.
 The Bombers started out strong in the second semi-final contest with the Torrlngton River A. O. With Radke and Karpovich getting two packets each they went ahead 8 to s in the first quarter.
 With both teams checking close the ball movde around midcourt al- most the entire quarter with Andy Lucewicy making the only field goal and Dave Karpovich tossing in Q foul basket. Bozenski, elongat- cd guard of the winners, made good on Q rebound to score the only hoop for his club in this second period. The score at halftiine was Il to 2 in favor of the Bombers.
 Strong Finish
 The third period was tho reverse situation with Korowolotny being the only Bomber to locate the hoop and Lefty Cantadore connecting with two layups to place his team just one point behind with one period to go. The final session was chiefly Torrington with the orange jerseyed players crowding the hoop and taking turns in scoring baskets.

 PARADE
BY HENRY McLEMoRE Limited Press Staff C0rresnonden

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Daytona Beach, Fla, March B. (UP)-Judge Hardy, this Is c letter to you concerning your son, Andy. I suppose I should have written you two or three weeks ago, when fln- ished playing round of golf with Andy in California, but Q man doesn't sit right down to the type- writer after experiencing one of the most emotional upsets of his life. I could no more have thought clearly and conclsely after finishing 18 holes with Andy Cor Mickey Rooney, as he Is known outside of Marquee lights) than scientist could dictate his reactions from the edge of Vesuvius In eruption.
 Have you ever played 0 round of golf with Mickey, Judgep I'm sure you haven't, else you wouldn't be q judge, but @ prosecuting attorney. After five or six holes you'd throw off your judicial robes and join the state in demanding solitary conflne- nent for the freckle- faced, ham, lnered down, pint-sized little cuss.
 To start with. Judge, golf was meant to be a leisurely game. It has no connection with polo, motor- cycle racing, or the 100-yard dash But Mickey has brought the game the most violent virtues of all three No Olympic sprinter on the starting line ever chafed and fldgeted and gathered himself together as noisily and noticeably as did Mickey on the first tee.
 All Over.
 Before the handicaps could be ar ranged, the foursome lined up, or the honor decided, he knocked two balls out of bounds, buried another in trap to the right, and, finally getting a good one down the mid de of the fairway, galloped off after 1t like a polo pony spurred by a Hitchcock. Calls to him to wait while we made our shots were a. wasted as shouts of Whoa" to a startled deer. We finally had tc drive over his head and sprint to try to catch up with him. We never did. Our game of golf developed into sort of hare and hounds busi- ness. As we played our seconds Mickey played his thirds. As we pitched to the green, he putted. AS we putted he smote his drive of the next tee. Hole after hole we went, Mickey a couple of hundred yards in front. By the third hole he had ceased to be a member of the fourSome, and had become a hazard. We tried to miss his bouncing little frame just as we did the traps, the water hazards and the trees. It was obvious from watching him play that he consid- cred the game of golf as something someone had thought up to annoy Mickey Rooney, personally. Jockey size anyway, Mickey's stance brings him down to doorstop level. He places one foot near one tee marker and spreads the other until it touches the other marker. From this unadvantageous position Mick ey strikes at the ball as if 1t were a box-ofiice competitor. At the fin- ish of his explosive swing his shirt fiys out, his sweater snaps up like a window shade out of hand, hig feet leave the ground. and he starts yelling.
 "oh. Mickey. Mickey. Mickey calm down, get control of yourself, Mick
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-03-08

ey. Quit golf, Mickey, It's killing you"
 On the Jump.
 No matter where the ball goes Mickey is there a second after it lands. Into the rough he goes like a native beater. The ball scarcely has time to settle and catch it's breath before he is after it again, whacking at 1t with wild wells. When club fails him, that club is done for. He throws them into lakes sails them into rivers, cracks them around trees, buries them in sand traps and gives them away to the nearest person he can find. Mickey admits he is unique on the goli course.
 T cant take it easy" he says T can't stay still. I think must have a wound up rubber band in me that keeps me jumping" So Judge Hardy, if you want to con- tinue on the even tenor of your ways don't take your son Andy out and play golf with him. If you do the next in the MGM series is like ly to be Andy Hardy leaves home by request.
