Greg Rice. the galloping gnome
from Notre Dame, thinks the 2-mile
in the New York A. c. meet in
Madison Square Garden Saturday
will be clocked in 8:50-the goal of
all distance runners.
Technically" the short, chunky
athlete told members of the Metro
politan Track Writers Association,
two AIS miles will do it, but it is
probable that the second mile will
be faster than the first"
Rice, who acknowledged he was
tired after breaking nine minutes
for the distance three times in
span of eight days, added that he
believed carrying a stop-watch as a
pacing aid, a style popularized by
Finland's Paavo Nurmi, was OF little
value.
'T know that my eyes are good
and I can't read a watch while run
ming" was his verdict.
Incidentally. Nurmi predicted that
1882 would be the ultimate in 2
mile running. Rice has done better
than that six times, twice in his last
three starts.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Feb. 18.-

snapped his own teams remark
able winning streak of 25 straight
games last night.
The State champions were
trailing Allentown High, 34-35 in
the closing minutes when an
Allentown forward took a long

Middleton leaped into the air in
an effort to defect the bail, and
touched the net. Officials awarded
2 points to Allentown, although

A. u, Columbus Fives
Are Hosts 10 Juniata
And Shenandoah
Hoyus Visit Baltimore
LoyoIo and Maryland
lnvudes West Point

Two college basket ball games are
scheduled here tonight with Amer
lean and Columbus Universities, the
hosts, each seeking a third straight
victory. Juniata will be the Eagles
guest, while Shenandoah invades
Tech High gym for its date with the
Explorers. Both tilts start at $50
o'clock.
Two other District fiveS, George
town and Maryland, are out of town
to fill commitments on their sched-
ules and both have their work cut
out for them. The Hoyas' foe tonight
in Baltimore is Loyola, undefeated
pacesetter of the Mason-Dixon Con-
ference and surprise conqueror of
G.. U. in the opening game here
last year Georgetown has been look
ing to this game with a vengeful
eye, but with the Loyolans boasting
a record of IL victories in IA games,
the Hilltoppers' ambition may be
thwarted.
Maryland wasn't expected to have
it easy, either, this afternoon with
Army, even though the cadets lost
to both George Washington and
Georgetown. The Terps' currently
average a mere 1888, with only six
victories showing on the list of
18 games.
The A. U.-Juniata game is inter-
esting if merely for the fact that
Coach Staff Cassell's college coach
will be seen handling the Juniata
team. He is Carly Swartz, who
tutored Cassell at Dickinson
Juniata comes here with a record of
five victories against four defeats.
American hasn't won any more
games than it has lost, but is un-
beaten since Penn State whipped
it on January 10.
Unless Shenandoah proves big
surprise, Columbus shouldn't have
much trouble registering its 10th win
in 13 starts. In Acky Viana, Gerald
Burns and Less Stanton, the Ex-
plorers have as formidable trio as
any small college could desire and
they're making it hot for all comers.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 18.-Marty
Servo, family honor revenged by his
savage pasting of Lew Jenkins last
night, now is cunning for Red Coch-

Marty had trouble getting below

Al WE'LL, Servo's manager, after the
young Coast Guardsman from
Schenectady, N. Y, virtually blasted
the ring career of the former light
weight titlist by winning a decisive
10-round decision at the arena.
He'll never be able to make the

wants to fight Cochrane now for the
welterweight crown. He's the COM
ing champ. Itell you. This was his
47th fight. In all these bouts he has
lost only to Ray Sugar" Robinson. !"
Servo is a cousin of Lou Ambers,
who absorbed a terrific three-round
beating before dropping the light
weight crown to jenkins. With Am
bers watching from the ringside,
Servo gave the Sweetwater, Tex,
swatter one of the worst beatings of
his career.
From the very start Servo. con-

the Texan around the ring. He had
Jenkins reeling in nearly every
round, but the former playboy who
dropped his crown to Sammy Angott
a few months back, managed to stay
upright except near the end of the
seventh. Then he went down for a
count of nine from a savage left
hook.
At the end Jenkins face was CORY
from cuts over both eyes, bloody
nose and bruised lips Servo's only
mark was a scratch on his cheek.
Jenkins didn't win a single round.
jenkins loyal wife declared: He'll
be champion again. If Servo didn't
wake him up I will. knowing the
old Lew, I can't understand how he
stood there and let Servo hit him. In
