Giant Pole TO'ShOw At New Britain

New Britain, March 4.--Wladys- law Talun, six-foot eight, 303-pound Pole who appears destined to be- come the next worlds heavyweight wrestling champion, will meet Rudy (Rowdy) LaDitzi of Los Angeles, Calf. in the main two out of three falls bout on this weeks wrestling card at the Stanley Arena. In addi- tion to being a capable and ortho- dox wrestler and well equipped phys ically to more than hold his own in even the Stormiest sort of going, Talun has almost superhuman strength. His American losses have been few and far between. LaDitzi, self styled king of the bad men" is rough and tough and he has risen to heights in a rough game by his slam- -bang style of offensive. How ever, with a possible crack at the Angels crown in the offing, Talun cannot afford to lose any bouts at this time and it will require more than rough tactics to put his shoul- ders to the mat.
 In the semi-final, Sliding Billy Hansen of Salt Lake City, Utah., one of the most popular of this sea- sons performers here, will meet Sammy Menacker, youthful Jewish boy from New York City. Menacker is now a staff sergeant in the United States Army and is stationed at Fort Eustis, Va. This should be, a fast and clean bout It will be one of three 30-minute, time limit matches on the undercard.
 Fast With Feet
 Wrestling's two most accom- plished drop kickers, Dr. John (Dropkick) Murphy of Maiden. Mass. and Les Ryan, formerly of Fordham U., will meet in one of the other two. Both are former junior heavyweight championsNof the world. They have private mat feud that dates back to August 4, 1936 when at Providence, R. l., Murphy dee feated Ryan for the junior title in the N. w. A. and N. B. A. authorized tournament. Ryan was forced to surrender in 13 minutes under pres- sure of a reverse, double toehold. Ryan has been on Murphy's trail ever since but this will be the first time he has caught up with him.
 Ted (The Feb Gei1naine of South Boston, will meet Pete Bal- tran of Montreal in the curtain raiser.

White Has 7O-32 Hoop Mark For 6 Years At Connecticut University
Waterbury's Bob Roland, Naugatuck's Win Cuddy
 Available Next Season

StorrS, March 4.-The University of Connecticut basketball team has just finished another brilliant sea- son under Coach Don White by defeating Wesleyan at StorTs 66-44 and Northeastern at Boston 58-29 last week. Tn completing his sixth year at the university, Coach White has compiled a record of 70 victories and 32 defeats for one of the fin est six-year records ever accumu- lated in Connecticut's basketball history. The 1940-41 team which accumulated 8 total of IA wins out of 16 starts was considered one of Connecticut's greatest basketball teams. This seasons record of 12 victories and five defeats, two games being lost by only two points, while not as good as that of last year was considered by most people as fine season in viewing the ma terial left from last years great team. The squad was handicapped great deal by the relative short ness of the starting five, but tow ards the end of the season the im- provement of sophomore Bob HosS of Storrs at center and Miltor Dropo of Plainfield at back guard added considerably to the height o1 the team.
 Cuddy and Roland
 Coach White will lose Captain John Winzler, Sam Jaskilka, Fedele Mungavero and Nick Verbillc through graduation in June. He has a fine nucleus, however, with which to start building ext years team in guards: Jim Connors, Milt Drpo Ellis Beck and Vince" Cuddy; and centers Bob Moss and Ben Miska- vech, all of who mwere outstanding men on this years squad. In addi- tion, he will have Walter Dropo of Plainfield. the leading freshman scorer this year. Bill McPadden of Bridgeport Bassick and Dick Jester of Plainville at forward and Bob Roland of Crosby of Waterbury at guard from the freshman team. The four freshmen mentioned should be outstanding varsity candidates next year and barring los thuogh in- eligibility or otherwise, should help provide another fine team for 1942- 43.
 Tn accommodating l2 victories and five defeats, Connecticut scored 952 points to their opponents 843, for an average of 5G points per game against 49 for the opponents.
 The freshman basketball team fin ished with record of seven vic- tories and three defeats, the out standing win being over Rhode Island College at Kingston when the UConns defeated the Ramlets 98-62

Before we mention the Eagles
possible bowl opponent, we will
list their assets. Boston College
is the lone major collegiate team
in the east that is unbeaten and
united. In six games, the Stats
tics hammered out are all in favor
of the high-flying Eagles.
Boston College has defeated
West Virginia, Clemson, North
Carolina Pre- Flight Wake
Forest, Georgetown and Tenn
pie. In those six games Bos-
ton College was threatened
only once, and that was by
Jimmy Crowley's North Caro-
lima Pre-Flighters.
Crowley. who previously rode
herd on the Fordham Rams, turn
ed out a service team that beat
everyone except the Eagles. And
Crowley doubtless will feel worse
after next Saturday when the
Eagles entertain Fordham, IN
Boston.
AS sure as there are death and
taxes, Boston College will lick
Fordham-probably about ESQ.
And the Eagles win go on to
massacre Boston u, and knock
over Holy Cross after harder
fight than most observers expect
When Boston College takes
the field in the Sugar Bowl,
the fortunate spectators will
be witnessing the best players
