Schooboy Teams Battling for Places in Great Basket Show
Hoegg, Worn by Voyage, Fears
He Will Run Slow IC-4AMiIe
BY JOE REICHLER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Mar. 2.--Gunder
Haegg expects to be slower than
the boat which took % days to get
him here. The Swedish track star
so insisted today as he prepared to
run in the special mile race at the
IIC-4A meet in Madison Square Gar
den tomorrow night.
Reaching American soil exactly a
month after leaving Sweden, Haegg
arrived last night, accompanied by
a fellow countryman, Haakon Lid
man, noted hurdler, complaining
that the long voyage left him in
none too good condition.
Pointing out that bad weather en-
route permitted him and his COM
panion only five or six opportunities
to jog around the deck, Haegg
moaned, II think I cannot win to-
morrow because I am a bit, what
you say, rusty. Ordinarily wouldn't
think of entering a race so soon
without sufficient practice. But !
feel I owe it to my American friends
who have been waiting so long for
us to appear"
Haegg to Face Good Field.
NeWspapermen were prone to dis
count Haegg's fears, recalling that
soon after announcing he had
passed his peak two years ago the
swift Swede ran a mile in 4:02.6
his best time, although finishing
second to his countryman, Arne
Anderson, who set world mark
of 4:016.
Opposing Haegg. who will work
out today on the N. Y. u. outdoor
track, will be Jim Rafferty, of
NYAC. winner of five straight mile
races this season; Forest Efaw, g.
mile king from Oklahoma; Don
Burnham, former Dartmouth star;
Rudy Simms and Ensign Tom
Quinn. Lidman will compete in the
60-yard high hurdles as well as in
special 50-yard hurdles event.
Dan Ferris, AAU official. on hand
to meet the two modern mariners
happily announced other events he
has scheduled for the two visitors
consisting of the K. of C. games
at Madison Square Garden March
10, Chicago relays March II and the
Cleveland K. of C. meet of March "a
Swede Prefers Mile Race.
Explaining that he expects to get
better as he goes along, Gunder said
he wouldn't know until after Satur-
day what distances he will enter in
future meets. Haegg, holder of six
world records, including the two
mile, three-mile, $500, 1000, 1000
and 5000 meters, asserted he likes
the mile best.
During his l943 visit here, the

DoubIeheaders Today
To Decide Foes for
.UIine S Tomorrow
By ROD THOMAS.

/ All but the most important details
today were arranged for probably
the most colorful basket ball show
ever held here, meaning the semi
finals of The Stars Metropolitan In
terscholastic Championship Tourna-
ment slated at Uline Arena tomor-
row night. The main item: Who
will battle who? This was to be
determined this afternoon in dou-
BILE at Tech and Eastern.
| At Tech, George Washington OF
Alexandria was to meet Tech, Dis
trict public high champion, at 4
o'clock and Gonzaga was to face
popular little Mount Rainier at s..
At Eastern, Montgomery Blair was
to battle Eastern at and st. Johns,
Catholic champion, was to meet a
traditional rival in Bethesda Chevy
Chase at s. The winners of these
games will fight it out tomorrow
night at Uline's. Seeded in the up
per bracket of the eight-team field
are Eastern and st. Johns and in
the lower Tech and Gonzaga.
Record Turnout Expected.
Should the seeded schools survive
| today it is expected the Uline Arena
tomorrow night will bulge with
spectators. A colorful ceremony,
dedicating the tournament to lads
who played in past Star tourna-
ments and have given their lives in
the war, will open the program.
The ceremony will be directed by
Capt. Gail Judd, captain of the
National Guard of Honor of the
American Legion. Today the crack
Drum and Bugle Corps of the Ma
rine Barracks accepted an invita-
/ ton to participate, as did the starry
st. Johns college Band. The open
ing game will start at o'clock.
The boys final will be played at
Tech Monday. Whether it will be
at night or in the afternoon was to
be decided today.
In the meantime, the girls divi-
sion of the tournament already is
under way, Westinghouse having
defeated Greenbelt yesterday in the
University of Maryland's Richie
Coliseum, 29-15. Tonight at the
coliseum Mount Rainier will meet
Blair at 6 o'clock, Sherwood will
play Maryland Park at and Fair
fax and Bethesda Chevy Chase will
clash at 8.

CALDWELL BACK
in BIG LEAGUES

WESLACO. Tex, Feb. g. iR -
Earl Caldwell is going to the big
leagues, not as a rookie but to take
up where he left off a decade ago
when a sore arm cut short prom
Using career.
At 33 he's probably the eldest
player ever to get trial in the
majors but the veteran of Is cam
raigns in professional baseball says
mes a better pitcher today than
ever. And in the middle thirties
ne beat the Yankees and bested
Schoolboy Rowe, who then was the
sensation of the American League.
Caldwell has signed with h e
Chicago White SoX and will report
for spring training around April /.
He won 10 games for Milwaukee
last season.
He predicted today he would take
at least Is for the Sox this year
maybe more-declaring it would be
as easy to pitch in the American
league as the American associa-
ton.
In the big leagues" he said,
leach team has more good hitters
than in the minors but you also
have better fielders and l have
always been big winner when
I played on teams with strong in
fields"
The sinker ball hurler started
with temple of the Texas associa'
ton in 1926 He then pitched in the
Texas league and American asso-
citation. 1t was in 1885, after win,
ming 10 games for San Antonio, that
the Browns bought him. The day
he arrived he beat the athletics,
next the Yankees, then Shut hou,
Detroit against Rowe.
Caldwell won seven games IN
1886 but his sore arm sent him
back to the minors that year. Since
then he has worked for Toronto
Indianapolis. Fort Worth and Mil
waukee with great success.
