ARMY-NAvY ARE CHA RVALS;
 HACC TO RUN
By OSCAR FRALEY Limited Press Staff COrreSpOndent)

 New York, March 3.-(UP)-- Gaunt Gunder Hagg, the ancient mariner who finally arrived after a 23-day convoy trip from London, had the mile run right back in it's old-time glamor spot for the IC4A indoor track meet at Madison Square Garden tonight
 The Swedish distance star, who has run the outdoor mile in 4:02.6, will go to the post in a five-man field in anf effort to smash the American indoor record of 4:064 in his first board track start. Due to his protTacted voyage, however, it was doubtful whether even the record smashing Hagg could lose his sea-legs in time to be at his best and shoot for a record.
 Track officials still picked the slim Swede to win the event over Jimmy Rafferty of the New York A. C., winner of four major indoor miles; naval pre-medical student Don Burnham. formerly of Dart mouth; Rudy Simms N.Y.U., and Forest Flaw of Bainbridge, Md, Navy, former Oklahoma A. & M. star.
 Haakon Lidman, Swedish hurdler who accompanied Hagg on his sec- ond trip to the United States, was billed to go in 50 and 60 yard high hurdle races against national cham pion Owen Cassidy of the Colum- bia Middies, national indoor cham pion Ed Dugger, formerly of Tufts, and several others.
 The arrival of the two Swedes and the keen team battle between Army's indoor champions and Navy's outdoor kings for the IC4A crown promised to make this the best meeE of the season. Although 20 col leges were entered. only the Mid- dies and the Cadets were given a chance for the team title
 One of the featured events will be the 6O0-yard run, with Army's George Berger, and Jerry Morrow both given a chance to upset de- lending champion John CaSkey of the Navy. The sailors were given an edge over Army in most of the running events. however, while West Point appeared stronger in the field events.
 Navy was particularly strong in the 60-yard dash with John Van Velzer. footballer Jim Petit and Ralph Ellsworth. former Southwest Conference dash champion, while Army had to count on halfback Max Minor, another Texan.
 Favorites in other events were. 1000 yards. Maurice Calender of NYU and Dick Hall of Navy; one mile. Vince Barry of Navy and Henry Eckert of NYU; two miles John Kandl, Cornell, and Curren Dempsey, Navy; mile relay, NYU; tWo-mile relay, MT; shot put Ralph Davis and all American full. back Felix (Doc) Blanchard, both of Army; 35-pound weight, Sam Felton. Dartmouth, and Leon Dom- browski, Army; high jump. Joe Con. ley, Dartmouth: broad jump, FreC Bouwman, Navy; pole vault, Phil Lansing, Army.

standout bowler in a corrective way.
 Pfc. Joe Wilman now at Camp Lewis. developed several individual methods of explaining the game. The Chicago stickout,s handling of his famous Budwelser team was a demonstration of his qualities as a coach. His style and method are quite in variance with that of many, hence his appearances in Washing ton result in considerable discus sion with bowlers gaining new an- gles on the game.
 Bill Wernicke for Is years has kept six Chicago alleys busy with instructionfs. Jess Young of Min neapolis has gained similar renown. Wayne Spaulding of Detroit has won the confidence of thousands as a mentor.
 These are the type of men who do most for bowling. for in no other sport do participants pass onto each other so much bad advice and so many erroneous ideas.

 Every bowler, no matter how in- ept, falls heir to the thrill of of- kering advice to others. Actually, bowling has few coaches and fewer Instructors. The art of tenpinning is most difficult to master and the game needs pioneers in the field of teaching.
 Among outstanding coaches are Hank Marine of Milwaukee, Charley Trucks of Philadelphia. Joe Norris of Detroit and Joe Wilman. Chuck Collier and Jule Lellinger of Chi cago. The late Billy Knox of Phila- delphia was another.
 They selected good men. made them better. welded them into win- ming teams. They possessed qual- ikies of leadership, but the real reason for their regulations was capable coaching.
 Each large bowling center has one or two who have acquired local reputations as instructors. but few have won national recognition in that capacity.

Joyce Eorns N B A Title Chonce
BY LACK CIJDDY

New York, March 3 (UP) - Willie Joyce. the Brown Blizzard from Gary. Ind, was assured today of an ultimate shot at the National Boxing Association's lightweight crown because of his upset victory over young Ike Williams, Negro bridegroom of Trenton. N. J.. in their l2-round rubber match" at Madison Square Garden.
 Joyces triumph last night before l4,l3l fans was three-way upset because:
 CD Bushy-haired Willie who had gone into the ring l3-5 underdog, won the unanimous decision of the three officials by a wide margin. none of them giving Ike more than three rounds. Each had won de- cision in their two previous meet iEgs at Philadelphia, but neither by such margin.
 CD Letf jabbing Joyce. reputedly a light puncher because he sacri- fees sock for speed. almost served the Trenton kayo specialist with his own medicine-almost knocked him out in the 18th round.
 (3) Joyce's victory dealt a surprise blow to the N.BA. lightweight title fight between Williams and cham pion Juan Zurita, slated for Phila- delphia, April 9. The title tilt will be staged as scheduled, because contracts have been signed; but Williams defeat is certain to affect the attendance.
 Abe J. Greene Of Paterson. N. J., president of the N.B.A., indicated through a spokesman today that he will recognize the Zurita-Williams bout as for the title. with the proviso that the winner defend 1t soon against Joyce.

Rapid Success of North CoroIino's s Record Swimmer Hard to Believe
BY JIM KLUTTZ NEA Special Correspondent


 Chapel Hill, N C., Mar, 3-Dick Winnings rapid start in swimming reads like an Horatio Alger tale.
 Prior to the first week of De- cember, the l7-year-old North Caro- lima freshman had never Swum, yet he not only won leading position on one of the nations best teams, but in two months acquired the na- tinal A. A, U. junior 220-yard free style championship.
 He set new pool record of j0.3 seconds in the l00-meter free style, and lost only one race all season. to Navy captain Harley Mize by a whisker in the 220-yard free style.
 When the son of MaJ.-Gen. Na- than F. Twining matriculated at Csapcl Hill last fall he had no idea of going out for athletics, unless he should decide to give tennis a whirl in the spring Young Winnings father is in command of the 18th Air Force in Italy.
 TALKED INTO GOING OUT
 Twining's roommate was mem- Der of the swimming team, as were a couple of fellows across the hall. His friends told him what a fine physical specimen he was, urged him to go out for the tank corps. Finally, early in December, in self defense he talked to Coach Willis Casey.
 How much swimming have you done?" he was asked.
 "None," Twining replied. Casey al- most fell off the bench.
 At the start, T'wining was listed as promising newcomer, but Casey stuck him in the opening meet with Georgia Tech just for the sake of experimentation. The results were amazing. He anchored the medley relay and swan the lead-off leg in the free style relay. both of which North Carolina won.
 IT. the medley relay, the Chapel Hill combination set Georgia Tech pool record-309.3.
 Tn Winnings first individual race and only loss, Midshipman Mize had to turn in 2:223 to in the 220-yard free style. Forty-five minutes later Twining captured the 440-yard free style to enable the Tar Heels to come from behind and prevail in what to them was the most impor- tant meet of the year. His time was 5:2l, Six-tenths faster than the Southern Conference record. KELLY LENDS A HAND
 It was in the second Georgia Tech meet that Twining set a new Bowman Gray pool mark of 60.3 seconds for the l0O-meter free style, breaking the old GA. That night in the Carolinas' A. A. U. meet he bag geo the national junior champion ship in the 220-yard free style.
 In the seasons finale against Duke, Twining copped the 220 and yard free style events to lead North Carolina to 50-25 victory and clinch the southern and South ern Conference championships.
 Billy Kelly is another reason North Carolina was unbeaten in swimming. He holds four American records, has tied another and won three national junior championships. He broke three American marks in week, including Walter Spence's l6-year -old record in the 150-meter individual medley long course with 1:49.3.
 Billy Kelly and Dick Twining get North Carolina there in jiffy in the water.

FULL SCHEDULE
 OF EVENTS SET
 FOR SUMMER

Ottawa, March 3 - CU.P) - Can- ada plans no curtailment of its sports program during the coming season because its continuation means a more relaxed army of Canadians doing better work at their essential war jobs" Selective Service Director Arthur McNamara said today.
 Taking contracting view from United States government officials who have urged continuation of sports only when all other needs have been filled, McNalnara said that Canadian fans could look for- ward to 8 comparatively full sched- ule of events next summer.
 The Canadian people need rec reation, even in wartime and sports can help provide this recreation" he said.
 Baseball players eligible to play with the Toronto or Montreal Inter- national League teams, Canadian minor circuits, or who are under contracts to teams in the United States, have little to fear from Can- adian Selective Service officials, he said.
 We take the view that If a man is good enough to play professional ball he should be allowed to play in the United States" he said. That Is providing of course tht he is not eligible for military service. And if man is employed in an essential industry, he must get a permit to play"
 Horse racing, he said, has the ap- proval of Selective Service because as sport 1t does not interfere with the war effort.
 Most men employed at race tracks certainly are not fit for mili- tary service" he said. Tn many cases such work is taken on during holidays from other jobs. Absenteeism was circumvented by twilight racing at tracks near war plants. he pointed out. Throughout the war, people have suggested that the government go out and spend millions of dollars providing recreation facilities in various towns and cities across the country" he said. Tt would be fool ish. then to close up existing recrea- tion centers like race parks while people are calling for more facili- ties.
 Other sports, including golf, ten- his, softball. swimming and boating, all have the blessing of Selective Service officials, McNamara said.

 IR A HEADLINE
 EVENT SUNDAY

Just how effective the recent win- ming form of the Waterbury Tool entry in the I. R. A. basketball league will be during second round competition, should be determined Sunday afternoon at the YMCA when Coach Tom Magner's red hot hoop combine takes the floor against the defending champions and first round winners, U. $. Rubber of Naugatuck.
 The game, set for PM will be preceded by Scovill vs Chase game a. 2;45 with Benrus and Seth T'hom- as to open the triple-header play at 1:30 PM in "B" division game that should be interesting.
 Promising
 In the main go, the scoring bat tie between York and Stanley of the Tool combine and Farrar, Wo- jack and possibly McDermott of USR is something for the large crowd of fans expected, to look for ward to Bulette of Tool and Schell of Rubber ought to have defensive test of their own that will afford in- teresting comparison.
 In the Scovill- Chase game, the Joe Joyce club from the big war plant on East Main street will be favored, but Chase, with Henry Koch in the leading role, could give the SERA club a tough tuSsle and possibly win @ close game.
 Waterbury Tool, by virtue of American Brass recent win over USTime, is now in first place, which emphasizes the importance of the U. s. Rubber game Sunday.

orrid Trio Crowd Bob Homilton

Jacksonville. Fla. March 3. OUP) Bob Hamilton. still setting the pace in the 5000 Jacksonville open, had reason to wonder today how hot golfer must get to establish a safe lead over the three mus keteers" of the fairways, Byron Nell son. Sammy Snead, and Harold Me- Spaden.
 The young Evansville. Ind. pro was l2 strokes under par with a two-round total of 132, yet right behind with l34's was the torrid trio.
 Snead set the pace yesterday. The Hot Springs, Va, slugger shot a seven under par 65 to equal the new course record set by Hamilton in the opening round. Nelson. the leading money winner from Toledo. O.. was a stroke behind with a 66. while Hamilton and McSpaden. the Sanford. Me. veteran, shared 67's.
 The largest gallery Of fans ever to follow tournament here trekked behind the leaders. finding 1t hard to believe that the municipal course, long considered a difficult one, was being negotiated in BIC fashion.
 Not all of the golfers in the field were finding 1t so easy. As the players reached the halfway mark only l8 had scores of par IA or better. and most of them were far behind the four leaders.
 Craig Wood Of Mamaroneck, N. Y. who was tied for second at the end of the first day. had a 70 yesterday and dropped to fifth place with a total Of l37. Fred Haas of New Or leans was far ahead of the amateur field with l38 after turning in a sparkling 67 yesterday.
 Bruce Coltart of Rochester. N. Y.. was three strokes off his opening day 68 and took a l39 total. Two players. Sammy Byrd of Detroit and Leonard Ott of Denver were tied at l40. while Willie Goggin of New York and Prank Strazza of Greenwich. Conn, had l42s.
 Tony Penna of Dayton, O., Bob Supple of Glencoe. H., and Leon- ard Dodson of San Francisco were tied at l43. while four players. Carl Damn of Orlando. Fla. Chick Rutan of Birmingham. Mich, Jim Gauntt of ArdmOre. Okla.. and sam Schneider of Corpus Christi. Tex. had par l44s. Claude Harmon of Crosse Points. Mich. with, l45, and Al Nelson of POnt vedra.
