Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE Limited Press Staff CorrespondenD

1 with everything he had - went out for e winner on every ball. On those rare occasions when everything went right, there was simply no beating him, or even coming close to beating him"
 Big Day
 I asked Miss Tennant If his three set win over Henri Cochct in the Nationa finals at Forest Hills was on one Of those days. I saw that match and the mighty Frenchman was bewildered by the ferocity and precision of Vines shots.
 "YeS, that was one of the days" Miss Tennant answered. No one who ever held a racquet could have beaten him that day"
 On the other hand, Miss Marble pointed out that, over 6 period of Q year, playing, say, two matches n week. Budge would gain c decided edge over Vines.
 "Budge's game is marvellous every day. He Is never in-and-out. He hits no patchy streaks. Since we have been oil this tour. and have had q good chance to watch him, I have yet to see him have an off day. He has an amazing tempera- ment, too. Nothing upsets him, nothing excites him. He just goes out day after day and plays magnif- icent tennis"
 Unbelievable
 As for Tilden. Miss Marble couldn't say enough.
 "Bill is unbelievable. He is 48, and has been playing tennis for more than 20 years, but every time he steps out against Budge he firmly expects to beat him. I'll get that young man tonight he'll say, and twice he has beaten Don, and beaten him when Don was playing beauto- fully. He has twice as much stam- ina as any of the rest of us. He works all day at his job with sport ing goods company, and then plays singles and mixed doubles at night. Then h0 gets in his car and drives to the next engagement. He htinks nothing of driving 900 and 1000 miles day and then playing five sets of tennis. Over the years, there never has been one like him. And he picks up all the checks. When we all go out to dinner we have to warn the waiter in advance not to let Bill get the check. He'd buy all our meals every day If he'd let him"
 Miss Marble believes the veteran Helen Jacobs will again win the Ma tional Women's title this year.
 Helen plays as well as any of the youngsters. and she has the experi- encc that is needed at Forest Hills. As for the men, it's tossup between McNeill, Riggs, Kramer and two or three others"
 The interview ended when the broth and preserves ran out.

BELL CITY BOYS TAKE WILEY IN
 STRIDE 37-1G
Central Stops Bassick 'COld' in AlI.BridgepOrt
 Hoop Contest
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY Sports Editor.

New Haven, March 3.--Unable to score more than 6 single field goal in the 'final two periods of play, and nothing in the final quarter, Wilby High of Waterbury went down tonight to humiliating 37 to l6 defeat at the hands of the sensational and undefeated Bristol High hoop squad, winners of 22 straight games this season.
 By the manner in which 1t won and the hoop class that It showed Bristol established itself definitely as the "team to beat" in the state tournament, Windham, Torrington Central or Walter B. Spencer not withstanding.
 Coach Eddie Reilly's Central High kids, minus their captain and high scorer, George Barney, won tho battle of Bridgeport" when they hung a surprisingly easy 40 to 34 setback on the defending state and New England champions, Bassick High, whose star McPadden, with l3 points was matched to the point by Red" Harding, Central for ward who knew his way around tho Arena court, especially In the vicin' ity of the hoops.
 Fast Start.
 Bristol started out against WllbJ as If 1t was going to run up a mil. lion points, but the Wildcats cant to life in the second heat, rushed from behind a 7-1 count and at hall time was only four points off the pace, Bristol leading 10 to i2. The Bell City boys, coached by bald and afiable Tommy Monahan. arc first class, to-line, Al basketball TEAM and know what they are doing every minute the ball Is in play. Therein. seems to lie the secret of their Suc- cess, for of the IA field goals scored, Utke, Amdsden. and Soenstrom scored three apiece, Lowicki 2, and Lynch and ZebroWski one each. Their coordination is near perfect and they have speed, power, accu- racy and endurance in abundance and two replacements that fit into the starting Ave" like hand into n glove.
 Quite Sad.
 Wilby'S exhibition, compared to It's fine play against Q strong Bulkc. ley High team, was quite sad and gave It's supporters little to cheer about, barring the second period rally, which was short-lived. Long, range shooting took the place oi short passes fumbles replaced steadiness with the Wilby disinte. grafton extending even to the bench where substitute, who likes foot ball better than the hoop sport re- fused to take the floor when sent in by his coach. It seems the once famed Wilby spirit has been snuffed out entirely when a basketball sub- stitute player decides whether he will play or not, when told to play by his coach.
 Wilby got six field goals, four of them by Bill Kalosky and Jim Roach. Bristol has no stars, but q wcll-moulded collection Of hoopsters who can hardly miss having 1t out with 'Windham of Willimantic for the championship, If Torrington and Central are eliminated, which seems likely on the basis of what all teams have shown to date.

oil. gas, and electricity is illustra-
tive Of such attempts. Refusing TO
ALLOW the railroads to scrap 20 per
cent Of their mileage, when motor
coaches, trucks, and airplanes can
better handle 20 per cent OF the
nations transportation, is bucking
natural progress.
Government would be justified
in helping people now engaged IN
declining idustries to move 10
other localities. 1t might be wise
to subsidize such employees and
employers for a limited period
while making a change OF occupa-
ton. II should, however, be honest
with people and not hold out false
hopes.
Avoid Bueklnq Progress
Our country has encouraged ag-
riculture in almost every manner.
II is the one industry recognized
with membership in the Presidents
Cabinet Farmers have privileges
and subsidies not enjoyed by any
other group. AS a result, the rails
ing OF certain crops. fruit, and live
stock has been overdone. The most
serious mistake has been the cul-
tivation OF marginal land. Too
many struggling people are try
ing TO raise cattle on land meant
only for timber; TO raise crops or
fruit on land suitable only for graz
ing. The sooner they give up the
fight the better for their character,
health. and pocketbook. Govern
ment is justified in aiding these
people to change their occupation;
in taking over and turning this
marginal land back to purposes for
which God made it, But is 1t fair
to kid these poor people longer by
leans? ESQ
Political opposition to large units
in industry. agriculture, and dis
tribution is bueking natural law
II seems too bad to see small ma
lions wiped out, small farms con-
solidated. and out-of-date indus
tries closed down: but this may
be in accordance with natural law.
Government should prevent mono
poles from taking unfair advan-
tage of consumers. workers, or com
petitors. The attitude. however.
that a thing is wrong merely be-
cause it is big" is a great mistake.
Let me add that the nemocracies
can win against the Totalitarians
only by encouraging. rather than
discouraging. efficiency in indus
try, agriculture. and distribution.

British Consul Sees Certain
Victory For English Forces

Cyril II. Cane, British consul in
Detroit, speaking on Great Britain
Today" in the womens lounge of
Charles Mckenny Hall Thursday
evening said that he is sure Great
Britain will win the war. He en-
phasized the great help the United
States has given, and showed that
the greatest benefits of those gifts
are being felt now.
Mr.. Cane said that the greatest
British losses were felt at Dunkirk,
when about seventy-five per cent OF
their war implements were lost
These have all been replaced now.
the speaker stated
1t is Mr.. Canes belief that the
Germans are not very accurate in
their bombing. He told that one
textile factory, located about ten
miles from an important airplane
factory. has been repeatedly
bombed, while the latter has not
been touched.
The speaker said that the British
have started their daytime raids
on Germany. and will continue with
them. show ing that the British have
enough planes to carry out these
important but dangerous raids.
Describing the invasion Of Hol-
land by Germany, Mr.. Cane said
that in a three mile area only three
houses were left standing after one
raid, and during a half an hour of
the same raid thousands OF people
were killed.
In comparing death figures OF
this war and the last. the speaker
informed his audience that about
