der Haegg and Haakon Lidman,
Sweden's travelling athletes, reach
here in time, they will be the big
men In the National AAU indoor
track championships at Madison
Square Garden Saturday night.
The pair checked out Of their
London hotel on February Z en-
route to the United States, but
haven't been heard of since. Dan
Ferris, secretary Of the AAU, al
most worked himself into condition
to take Haegg,s place in the mile
run with daily pilgrimages to the
docks In vain hopes Of greeting
them.
Plans are for Haegg to compete
in both the and 3-mile races and
for Lidman to oppose this country's
best and Dom Kinzle of the Royal
Canadian Airforce in the hurdles.
One Swedish Star Certain.
Even If the two should fail to
arrive until too late, one Swedish
star is sure to compete. He is Sune
Carlson, one-time Swede sailor,
but now private in the United
States Army at Fort Bragg. He
won the 1943 1-mile walk and was
third last year.
Despite the wars manpoWer de-
mands, at least nine defending
champions will be on hand for the
meet.
Ed Conweu Of New York Univer-
sity has recovered from his torn
leg muscle and Is q starter in the
60-yard dash. Joe Megyesy Of the
New York A. c., will defend the
walk crown he took from Carlson a
year ago. Ed Dugger Of Dayton,
Ohio, is listed in both hurdles;
Corpl. Barney Ewell in the run
ming broad Jump and Dave Albrit-
ton, also Of Dayton, In the high
jump. Henry Dreyer of the New
York A. G. wants to keep his 35-
pound weight-throw title.
Service Rivalry Keen.
New York University's sprint
medley team also Is ready and the
New York A. C. is represented by
another mile foursome.
For the first time in the 81 years
OF indoor championships the two
service schools are among the top
favorites for the team title. Navy is
coming with 25-man contingent,
while Army has named at least one
starter in every event with heavier
representation in the sprints and
hurdles.

Saunders Clancy Til
Tops Hot Club Card
In Turner'S Ring

It's fight night again at Turner s
Arena and Matchmaker Gabe Men
endez has dug up another out-of
town, heavyweight sensation" with
a long winning streak for the To-
round main event on the club card.
This time it's Jackie Saunders,
who fights out of Philadelphia and
is reported to have won IS out of SO
bouts. He meets Colon CLANCY of
Indianapolis, the slick punching
stylist who gave Dixie Oliver quite
a battle here few weeks back only
to drop a split decision.
Boxing records being what they
are, a close check on Saunders claim
Of 35 wins in So starts is out of the
question, but he has registered a
decision over Billy Grant. Grant, a
New Jersey husky, was being built
up by Uncle Mike Jacobs in Madi-
son Square Garden shows when
Saunders whipped him, a possible
tipoff that the Philadelphian may
be conner.
Fight Likely to Surprise.
Furthermore, while MenendeZ,
youngest matchmaker in the busi-
ness, has been known to make mis-
takes they have been few and far
between and the word along Bif
Boulevard is that this isn't one of
them.
CLANCY Is known quantity and
is at the point in his up and COM
ing career where it isn't necessary
for him to fight "stiffs." Ring Mag
azine, the authority of the fisti-
cutting trade, thinks well enough
of both boys to mention them in
the same breath with Tami Maui
riello and Lee Savold. Neither
Savold nor Mauriello is of cham
pionship caliber, but both rate
fairly high among duration" box
ers.
It may be a surprise bout that
turns out to be sizzler.
The show will be slightly crippled
by the absence of Frank Sweeney
and Joe Cannon, who cancelled their
appearances due to illness, but Men,
endez has shaped up an acceptable
preliminary card that rates as good
club show.
Thompson, Gaddis Clash.
Top prelim, lightweight six, pairs

dis. Sammy fought Pete Virgin as

mission and pronounced fit.
The Connecticut 127-pounder has
shown little in recent bouts, but
being rated great competitor
seems favored in all quarters te
chalk up his 86th victory in 81
bouts. His one defeat came at the
hands of the now retired Sammy
Angott two years ago.
Despite the anticipated one
sidedness, Terranova may prove
troublesome. The former NBA
champion rallied gamely in his last
fight to beat Charley (Cabey)
Lewis. If he can duplicate the per-
formance, Pep will not enjoy easy
sailing.
Phil floored Lewis twice, while
