at Camp Davis are back on 49,
hour work week, in line with the

 Pat Harder, former Wisconsin fullback, who also is in the armed forces was selected by the Chicago Cardinals, last place team in the 1943 race which was given second pick. The Brooklyn Dodgers took Creighton Miller, Bertelli's colleague in the backfield last fall, while the Detroit Lions picked Otto Graham, Northwestern back.

Baseball OHT Great Start Despite War, Draft
r. Hitchcock, Outstanding
 American Sportsmon, Killed

London, April 20. UP)-Lt. Col. Thomas Hitchcock was killed in a routine flight over Southern Eng land Tuesday, the U. s. 9th air force, to which the one-time Polo star was assigned as a technical expert only a month ago, announced today.
 Paying tribute to his military services in two world wars and to his proweSs as "the greatest Amer ican polo player" the 9th air force said that Hitchcock crashed to his death near Salisbury. 25 miles northweSt of Southampton, while flying P-5I Mustang fighter.
 Hitchcock had been chief of a tactical research section for the 9th air force fighter command for the past month, and apparently was on an experimental flight at the time of his death.
 Hitchcock obtained a commission in the army air forces soon after Pearl Harbor and went to England in 1942 where he served as assistant air attache at the United States embassy in London before becoming attached to the 9th airforce.
 Word From Winant
 His relarlves III Jne United States were advised of his death last night by U. s. Ambassador John c. Win ant. His widow was reported en- route from Florida to Aiken, s. c. It was not known whether she had been informed of his death.
 At the outbreak of the first World War Hitchcock volunteered for the army, but was rejected be- cause he was only IT. He then joined the famous Lafayette Esca- drille, with which he fought until shot down behind the German lines.
 Despite his wounds, he escaped to Switzerland.
 Between service in two wars, Hitchcock made polo history. He was from a family of equine en- thusiasts. His late father, for whom he was named, was one of the na-

Cote Cops Boston Marathon Run
BY HARRY VANDERNOOT United Press Staff COrreSpondent

Boston, April 20-(UP)-Sgt. Ger ard Cote of Montreal, who yesterday became the first Canadian three time winner of the Boston A A. marathon, said today he hopes to complete in the forthcoming Yonk- CTS, N. Y, marathon if the Can adian army gives him the necessary time off.
 Covering the 26 miles 3S5 yard course in the Patriots day classic in the comparatively slow time of 2 hours 31 minutes 50 2-5 seconds nearly six minutes behind the course record-Cote triumphed in the most thrilling finish in recent years. He ran shoulder to shoulder with John ny Kelley, a 35-year- old west Acton war worker and medically -discharg- ed veteran of World War II, for most of the last six miles.
 Not until seven blocks from the finish did Cote lengthen his stride enough to pull away from the fad- ing Kelley and race to the tape 50 yards in front. Strangely enough, Kelley has placed second in the three marathons won by Cote-in 1940, 1943, and 1914.
 Kelley's time was 2:32:03, and the one-two team left the war-deplete field of 69 starters far in the rear. Pharmacists mate 3-c Charles A. Robbins of Sampson, N. r., finished third in 2:38:31.
 Close Finish
 "It was 8 hard race," Cote said. Kelley was on my heels all the way, but I just kept pounding and 1t paid off in the end. I trained hard for this one, and all my work was well worth while.'
 Coast guardsman Clayton Farrar of New York and New London, Conn.,, one of the favorites because of his pre-marathon races, found the course too long for his liking but managed to hold on long enough to capture 10th place.
 Others among the first 10 finish- CTS were: fourth, William P. Wik- lund, New York; fifth, Lloyd Evans, Montreal; sixth, Donald E. Heinicke Baltimore; seventh, Bruno s. Mag geo, South Portland. Me; eighth. Louis Young, North Medford; ninth, John Semple, Sampson, N. Y, and 10th, Farrar.
