Galloping Gil Dodds the Boston theological student and national sAAU mile king, had set a blistering pace--turning the half in 2:02.1-and most of the time Mit- chell was far back.

 Georgetown's Hugh Short, the IC4A champion, equaled the 600- yard indoor world record with a 1:10.2 performance. This tied the mark set by the late John Borican in 1941.
 Fred Sickinger, @ slim blond from Manhattan, repeated the 880 by nosing out Michigan's Dave Mat thews in 1:54.9. Veteran Gene Venz- ke, starting his 14th year of top- flight competition, finished g poor sixth.

Crosby Downs Wildcats In Spectacular Last
 Minute Smash
Billy Behr Stars for WiIby in 34 to 2S
 Hoop Thriller

At Wilby gym on Saturday night before pack of hoop hungry fans Billy Behr, sensational young fresh- man star of Wilby went to town in 8 big way, by piling up 10 points, which managed to keep the Wild- cats in the lead through the greater part of the game.
 Crosby went into this contest as an 8 to s favorite over the Wildcats Saturday night, but about three minutes after this contest had gotten underway, it was self evident to everyone that the numbers are not always right. These boys from Cros- by did not play game up to the reputation they got after that sec- ond Warren Harding game which was played here. Tn the first half of this contest they seemed to be stopped at every turn by that great ly sustained Wilby combine. Hank Fasaneli was right up at the front lines" for Crosby all through the game, chalking up of 34 points. Fasanelli in this game seemed to me to be the outstanding fioorman on both teams. He put the ball though its paces as well as through the hoop. Teddy Kobrin played e very good game on the floor al. though he did not throw up many points. You can always sort of rely on Terry to bring home the "bacon" in SOME manner or other. Bannon, Reynolds and Conlon played a swell game after they got warmed up which was about the second half, although they all used their footwork in the first two periods. All through the game D,Agostino was on his toes but failed to cash n on 1t until the second half, when the Crosby boys got going as that well co-ordinated machine we knew in the beginning of the current season.
 For Wilby during the first half of this game my nominees for top SCOT. CT and doorman would be Billy Behr, that sensational young freshman for the forward post and Roney Car AOAA 50 VAAG bCoV tbkIu 4dotSSV VI WAAOy Q floormen. After Wilby got rolling in the first period Johnny Padaigas put some power behind the Wilby ma chine as well as putting some "pay dirt" on the board for Wilby. Wilby took the lead in the first three min- utes of play and by pulling together up in the last period managed to hold 1t. Crosby came back in the last minutes of play to pile up six points, thus beating Wilby, by q score of 34 to 28.
 In the preliminary game of the evening, the Wilby Reserves beat the Crosby Reserves by 8 score of q to l2; Hanlon and Savage were high men for the victors with 6 and 4 points respectively, while Cetta, Mc1nerney and Reardon were high scorers for the vanquished with 10 and l points respectively.

---BIG LITTLE MAN. NO. 5--
 ChoynSki Only a Middleweight In Weakened Condition When Knocked Out By Joe Walcott
CFifth of six artiCles.)
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Eports Edltor)

Like himself, Joe Choynski's knockout by Joe walcott became a fistic legend.
 Because Choynski had fought Jim Corhett, Bob Ftzsimmons and held Jim Jeffries even in 20 rounds, Walcott, somewhat of giant killer in his own right, was credited with having belted out a heavyweight.
 Choynski's rlncipal physical mar gin over Walcott, as a matter of fact, was i1 height and in this case 1t was handicap. The Barbados Demon loved to reach up and tag taller men with an overland right.
 There were extenuating circum- stances, too, as Choynski, never one to alibi, explained 25 years later.
 Walcott came In at l60 pounds when he turned in what was corl- sidered a tremendous upset at the old Broadway Athletic Club, New York, Feb. g, 1900. Choynski weighed no more than 16l pounds, would not have had to dry out to do the nliddleweight limit of today.
 Tn Choynski's day, it was com- mon practice for smaller men to claim they weighed more than they did when meting larger ones, as he did when he battled the gigantic Jeffries.
 FIGHTS DESPITE INFLUENZA
 A week before the Walcott dis aster, Choynski slipped on ice in Chicago, fell against al post, and injured his side. This aggravated a cold, which turned into influ- etlZa.
 Tom O'Rourke, manager of Walcott and the Broadway Club, telegraphed that the sect sale was brisk, offered Choynski, 75 per cent of the gross to save the show.
 Chrysanthemum Joe had posted Q forfeit he didn't care to lose.
 Choynski and Walcott were a strange looking pair. The fair Choynski lowered nine inches above Walcott, who stood no more than five feet one and one-haH inches. The Negro was almost devoid of a neck. When he pulled in his head, his broad shoulders protected 1t to such an extent that the other fellow had an extremely small target. He had exceptionally long and nluScu- lar arms.
 Choynski, who had been certain that he could prevail with moderate exertion, later confessed that he had underestinated Walcott's abnormal strength. SETTLED. IN FIRST ROUND
 Walcott tore after Choynski, pounded his body savagely, and, in the first round, landed that looping, overland right to the jaw, which the Californian later revealed, nearly finished him, had him on the verge of quitting for the first time in his 1lustrious career.
 Choynski never did know how he managed to fight on for nearly six more rounds until Walcott once more landed that devastating overhanA right to the jaw in the seventh.
 The fighting instinct, which 50 frequently saw him through against tremendous odds, carried him on against Walcott.
 There never was the slightest doubt about whipping any oppon- ent In fearless Joe ChoynslSi's mirid-not even when, in @ weak ened condition, he was tackling e Joe Walcott.

New York, Feb. 8 - (U.P.) The Brooklyn Dodgers announced today that Judge Kenesaw M. Landis had cancelled the deal in which First Baseman Babe Dahlgren was sent to Indianapolis of the American As- sociation for Earl Reid, pitcher. and Joseph Bestudit. third baseman.
 Branch Hickey said the Dodgers would mail Dahlgren z contract be- fore February IS and that the first baseman would report for spring training at Bear Mountain. ia
 Rickey said he expects to see Dahlgren when he goes to the west coast late this month in an attempt to persuade Dolph Camllli t0 recon slider his decision not to play base ball this season.

that he is bigger. Not yet fully de- veloped at g, he stands feet 10 and now weight 182 pounds.
 Mills is light-heavy as well as heavyweight champion of the Brit lsh Empire, but
 Were through with light-heav- les," Broadribb writes Babe Cul- nan, the Newark promoter who is his American representative. We're after the big boys and will get all the good ones if Freddie is spared fn the war"
 SENDS THEM HOME EARLY
 Broadribb doesn't say how many lights Mills got in last vera, but he 6attened Tommy Martin and Jock McEvoy in a round, and in June belted lean Len Harvey out of the ring in the second, into retirement and loose from his dual titles.
 The latter match attracted 30,000 Hpectators, all the government would permit at the Tottenham Hotspur Football grounds, which accommo- dates 100000.
 Mills engaged in six matches in 104O, eight in Al, and among his more recent knockout victims is Jack London, one of the few heavy weights of prominence over there at this time. Tommy Martin, a Negro, whom he twice ironed out, campaigned in California with some success. divided decisions with Buddy Knox, among other things.
 Mills spent three years in the boxing booths before breaking into the the record books in 1936. He hasn't lost, except once on a foul, since June, 1889, and nobody has gone very far with him since August, l94l. BROADRIBB CONSERVATIVE
 Allowances must be made for the fact that Boradribb is his manager, of course, but trained boxing men rave about this fellow. And Broad- rlbb always was conservative in diS- eussing his own fighters.
 When he declares Mills the daddy Of them all, Broadribb, who knows e fighter when he sees one, includes Joe Louis, for it was he who handled EaFr against the Brown Bomber. DroadFibb was previously ln this country with Jack Hood. Ali Man. elnl, Teddy Baidock and Don Mc- CoFklndale.
 As Igid Snowfall, he fought on fhis nide before that, and has the Extinction of being the only Eng NNhman who knocked out ueorgea NaEpenlleF. fie performed the feat Rs 6 feather in Paris ln 1910.
