Your Fishing Tackle Could Save a Life!

Now it's fishing that's called on for war job!
 An appeal to salvage fishing tackle-lines, hooks, sinkers, pre- pared bait, woden-handled knives. is S.O.S.'d today by the yedical and Surgical Relief Committee of Amer lea to help equip special emergency medical kits earmarked for the U. s. Coast Guard and the U. S. Navy. A simple fishing outfit, for use in time of disaster. is included in the port able kit along with essential drugs and emergency surgical instruments. Shipments of the kits, completely furnished by the Committee, have already started rolling to the U. s. Coast Guard patrol boats and the U. s. Navy sub-chaserS.
 Mrs. Huttleson Rogers, executive chairman of the Medical and Surgi- cal Committee of America, APO Lex tngton Avenue, New York City, urges all fishermen, sporting goods dealers, and fishing clubs to collect spare or discarded fishing equip ment. The rod and reel that trickily ensnared small-mouth bass on an idle summers day or that pulled in fighting salmon from rushing cold stream, may be destined to save the lives of shipwrecked or stranded crew. Mrs. Rogers pointed out that fish has not only food val- ue, but also contains water. She de- scribed how the surviving crew of torpedoed Free Norway fighting ship managed osurvive 48 days by catching fish from their raft. "The fishing equipment received by the Committee" said Mrs. Rogers twill some day save lives for Amer ica."

TEN FAMOUS HORSE RACES
Man O'War vs. John p. Grier

swung by the eighth pole. Then. suddenly, the cry went up. Man O War is beaten" as the dark head of John P. Grier for one electric moment showed in front.
 For the only time that year, Man O War felt the burn of the whip as Clarence Runners right arm rose and fell. In an instant he was in front and as they strained for the wire. he pulled away, leaving a tired but game horse length and a i1ali behind. The time of 1:49 1-5 was q new world record for the distance.
 Happy Birthday
 Big Red went on from there to win five more stakes that year and retire at the end of the season to stud. where he served until this season. Big Red is 26 years old today.
 John P. Grier who. according to popular fancy, suffered a broken heart because of the defeat, con. tinued racing for another year and ran well winning his share oi stakes. He. also then went to stud where he was somewhat of a suc- cess. although, as in actual racing, far from being the equal of Big Red

GEORGETOWN-
 DEPAUL CLASH ON MISC COURT
Dartmouth, N. Y. U. Easily Eliminated By COIIegi-

BY OSCAR FARLEY

United Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 New York, March 25.-(UP)-Two elongated guys named John, carry the hopes of Georgetown and De- Paul when the teams collide at Madison Square Garden tonight in the eastern finals of the National Collegiate A. A. basketball tourna- ment.
 DePaul's Blue demons, champions of the Chicago district, pin their ambitions on towering Johnny Mi- kan, bespectacled ball hawk who led them to a semi-flnal victory over Dartmouth, 46-35, last night. The Hoyas from Washington bank on lanky Johnny Mahnken, high man as they swept over New York University, 55 to 36, in the other semi-final before 16,49l fans. Both Johns tower six feet, eight inches in the center's circle and each hit the hoop for 20 points in pacing their teams to victory.
 Dartmouth, champion of the Ivy league for the past six years, was no match for DePaul-and "big Mike" Mikan. Tn addition to being the leading scorer, the dark-haired lad was impressive under the In- dian basket on defense.
 The big green team from Hanover. N H., got off first on a pair of fouls by Jimmy Olsen Tony Kelly's field goal then brought DePaul even and a foul by Hjkan sent the blue demons in front to stay.
 Lid On Basket
 Troubled by tournalh ant filters, Dartmouth couldn't get the lid off the basket during the first half. The Indians scored only four field goals-the first after il minutes of play-and converted only six of IA fouls, to trail 26-14 at half time.
 Audley Brindley. high man for Dartmouth with 10 points, fired a rally at the start of the second half but DePaul rebuilt a 39-26 lead be- fore the first team was withdrawn. Again Dartmouth rallied, cutting the lead to six points, before DePaul sent Mikan and his mates back to put out the fire.
 The winner of the Georgetown DePaul game will meet the western NCAA champion at Madison Square Garden next Tuesday night for the National college crown.

 New York, March 25 - (U.P) - Whenever horsemen, turf writers or plain everyday horseplayers sit down and reminisce about famous races of the past. there's one over which they usually dwell just g lit- tie longer-one that for split-sec- ond drama probably never has been equaled on the American turf.
 It was the Dwyer Stakes of 1920, a mile and one-furlong stake run at Aqueduct for the small sum of 5000. with only two starters-the incomparable Man O War and the steel-hearted John P. Grier.
 Fresh from his sweep of four straight stake victories that spring, including the Preakness and Bel mont, Big Red was a prohibitiye favorite for the Dwyer and had scared off all opposition except Harry Payne Whitney's trainer James Rowe, ST.. and his brilliant colt John P. Grier.
 From the moment the Glen Rid ale star took the track in the Preakness that spring and smoth- cred the crack Whitney pair. Upset and Wildair, Rowe. who never completely admitted to Big Reds greatness. had planned revenge When the bugle blew for the Dwyer he was confident he would get it And he nearly did.

 With 126 pounds on his bach against 108 for his rival. and fay. pred at I-to-5 in the betting, Mar O War bolted from the gate witt his usual power and prepared tC run the lighter. smaller colt at hi side into the Aqueduct dust in thu first half mile.

Uncle Sam Gets Al Monti, The Park Departments Best Referee

Today, and fortunately at the end of the basketball season for Gram. mar Schol teams, Al Monti was tak- en from the employ of the Park Dept. into the employ of Uncle Sam. In my opinion and in the opinion of others as well, Al was considered the best referee in the Park Dept. Because whenever or wherever there was game played and the name of Al Monti was mentioned as referee one could be sure of square deal. Everybody who even knew of or saw Al Monti referee a game, knew that Uncle Sam's gain was Waterbury'S loss.
 A Slogan for Victory contributed by an anonymous fan:
