CHASE METAL 5
 DROPS 2-1 TEST, METROS LOSE
Runnefs.Up Five Games Down in Dusty and Mer.
 Cantile Loops

From every indication, after the results of last nights matches were in, there will be new champions crowned this season in both rndus- trial and Mercantile Leagues of Wa terbury. American Brass of the Dusty League, runners-up to Chase Metal more than once met the Chasers last night and came through with Q Eel decision which gives them Q five game lead that seems safe enough to allow them to come throguh during the stretch" run tiis month when the pin sea- son will come to a close.
 Cleaners Whltewashed
 In the Mercantile League, Brook side Dairy performed the most un- expected feat of whitewashing the second place Metropolitan Cleaners, defending champions for the past two years, and early season leaders this year. As Q result, the Brook sides also own Q five game edge. Metros were fer of form last eve, Jimmy Barber and Manzo with l39 and i30 having the only creditable strings of the team, with nothing else higher than Cone's ll6. Brook sides were not too strong, with only one game . 6ii effort above the 600 mark, as Curley Pichette hit 6 i64 high single and pr. Joe May & 387 high three with strings of l50 and 137 and an even 100 sand~ wiched in between.

Today's Sport Parade

As a gesture of compensation, the coaches vii ladopt the free substitu- ton rule introduced by the colleges last season.
 No Home Games?
 Item No. 2 on the agenda is the question of what to do about Green Bay and how to do 1t. The Packers are the only team removed from the metropolitan centers. They draw their patronage from the bushes and farm centers. With the auto mobile rapidly becoming as extinct as the ptolemy family, the Packers may either farm out or play on the read.
 Then there is a great deal of whispering about possible schedule changes. The scherule could stand q bit of fumigating. It is q con- fused anachronisin, split Into divis- ions = a handicap to certalng teams and a boon to others. The magnates will consider trimming 1t to nine games and re-shaping 1t as q round robin, but the spies say the proposal will be vetoed.
 Another important parcel of ur- finished business iS the manner in which the league shall aid the war effort. Whatever is decided, 1t had better be good. Baseballs shiliy- shallying left very sour taste. It is quite possible that the grid league will play two all-star games, one in the east and one in the west, and donate oil profits to charities. Sounds reasonable.
 The rules changes under consider ation are trivial things not worthy of mention outside the trade. There will be some argument about night games but in general the cigar chewing and table humping will center on the problem of keeping the supply lines Intact and the man power flowing as long as possible, Right now the league looks healthy, but
 Safe For a Year
 Briefly stated, for one year the future iS bright. Customers pockets are lined with fresh folding money and there are enough players to go around professional football appears as safe as any sport during 6 war. That is, for this year. It isn't l942 that is bringing furrows into the foreheads of the elder statesmen. It is i943.
 The colleges are casting orninous shadows. Scholastic programs are being accelerated, sports are being curtailed and football ia being gent- ly de-oomphed. The boys are leay- ing the gridiron for bigger fields and bigger battles. Since these boys are the grist of the professional mill, the diminishing supply is certain to be translated into diminishing re- turns at the box-office.

 New York, March asy- tup)-west Virginia University and western Kentucky State, who rode rcugh- shod over all tournament opposition, meet at Madison Square Garden to- night in an ail-southern final for the National Invitation Basketball Championship with the Mountain CTS slight favorite.

 Western Kentucky States fas team, which has held the Kentuck, Conference title for 10 years, can not be taken lightly--despite tnt fact that 1t was ranked seventh ai the start of the tournament. The blue grass boys opened competition with Q 40-46 triumph over City Cole iege of New York, the Metropolitan champion, and then defeated Crelgn- ton, 4o-36.
 The two other teams entered in the tournament, West Texas State and Rhode Island, lost to Creigh- ton and Toledo respectively.
 Record Chance
 Bob Gerber, Toledo ace who broke two tournament marks and set another in his teams two ape pearances, has an added incentive in addition to giving his team third place.
