YOUTHS CREATE
STIR IN RACES

NEW YORK, Feb. 26. - (P) -
Track and field competition is be-
low par this fourth wartime season
but there were indications at the
national AAU indoor title events
that the drought of record-brcak-
ing will be short lived.
The senior field, comprising AIS,
collegians and service men on
leave, went through their entire
program without approaching re-
cord.
1t was different in the twelfth
annual high school meet Saturday
afternoon where trio of youngs-
tiers created three new marks.
William Mathis of Washington S
Cardozo High, shaved a tenth of
a second off the 60-yard cash
time with :O6.3 clocking; Ed
Coleman of Hicksville, N. Y,
threw IL pound shot 81 feet 6 IA
inches and Jack Moody of Plain
field, N. j., high jumped 6 FEET
8 1-8 inches for the new entries
in the record book.
Mathis effort was the more
spectacular as he defeated Perry
Samuels, San Antonio, Tex, swift
tie who placed fourth in the ma
tionals Saturday night.
Although Gunder Haegg and
Haakon Lidman failed to arrive IN
time for the AAU meet, the $4,000
spectators received their share
of thrills.
They saw Cpl. Barney Ewell,
one.time Penn Slater, score
double with triumphs in the 60
ward dash and the broad jump;
and watched as Jim Petit OF
Navy sped through an amazing
3oo-yard anchor leg in the sprint
medley relay and then catapuif OF
the high banked curve into the
crowd
Cheered on by the throng, Rudy
Simms unleashed :57.4 quarter to
start the mile but neither he hor
James Rafferty,, ultimate winner,
could stand the pace and the pair
staggered through the final 44O in
SO seconds to hike the finis1s
time to 4:17.5.
Bill Bangert, Missouri's singing
shot putter drew compliments from
Metropolitan opera officials at an
addition in the afternoon and won
the weight throw with toss OF 50
feet 5 ga inches at night.

ARMY, NAVY LOSE
CHANCE TO HOLD
NATIONS FAVOR
By TED MEIER

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.- H -
Army and Navy clash on the bas-
ketball court at Annapolis this Sat-
urday, but instead Of two unbeaten
fives tangling, the services clash
no longer has bearing on the ma
tional cage picture.
The Annapolis Middies went down
to their first defeat yesterday
when the cambridge Navy ended
their 12-game winning streak, 60
to 60. Army's 27-game win streak
was snapped by the Penn week
ago although the Cadets started
a new streak by licking New York
University 54-51, at West Point
Saturday.
With the season nearing an end,
most of the interest centered on
the teams being considered for
postseason tournaments.
North Carolina earned possible
NCAA bid by beating Duke, 40 to
80, to win the Southern Conference
championship. The winner Of this
weeks Southeastern tourney, pos.
sibly Kentucky, Tennessee or
Georgia Tech, also may be invited
to compete in the Eastern CAA
competition.
Baldwin-Wallace turned in the
surprise of the week by upsetting
Bowling Green, 1854 on Friday.
Bowling Green, previously beaten
in only one game, is a leading
candidate for the national invitation
at Madison Square Garden along
with Depaul, Albright, Akron,
Utah, Rhode Island State, Temple,
Muhlenberg, st. Johns and un-
beaten Rensselaer, Poly.
The Oklahoma Aggies already
have accepted bid to the Western
NCAA Examinations at Kansas City
with Arkansas, runnerup in the
Southwest conference, regarded as
a certainty.
This is the way the major active
conferences shape up:
Western Conference-Iowa car
win by clinching last two games
this week.
Pacific Coast Conference.-The
gon and Oregon State tied for tor
in northern division, with Wash
ington State half a game behind
UCLA has won southern title.
Southern Conference - NORTH
Carolina, champion.
Eastern intercollegiate League
Penn, champion.
Southeastern Conference-cham
pionship tourney this week will de
termine crownholder.
Big Six-Kansas leads Iowa State
by half a game.
Big Seven-Utah still leads.
Southwest Conference Rice

military authorities and technical
experts will be left if Italy con-
tinues to need them.
In addition, the Allies now are
studying several important Italian
problems including means of re-
leasing italian war prisoners still
held in Italy. Arrangements are be-
ing made to improve cultural re-
lations with Italy. Plans for reha-
Utilization of Italian agriculture are
being worked out. 1t is hoped also,
as the shipping situation permits,
to give Italy more economic aid.
Macmillan and Commodore FL
lery w. Stone, chief of the Allied
Control Commission, notified Pre-
mier Ivanoe Bonomi end Foreign
Minister Alcide de Casper Of the
concessions, effective at once.
The concessions came at mo-
ment when symptoms of discon-
tent throughout liberated Italy
were increasing and caused some
to fear that open revolt might
break out in some areas. Hunger
and cold were the chief factors, not
politics. The poor in the great cit
les are suffering. Meat, fish, milk,
oil, butter and fruit were luxuries.
An average Italian civil servant
gets 5000 lire a month. Meat in
Rome costs about $50 lire a pound,
fish about 800, olive CT nearly 225
lire a quart. Bread is five lire
pound. Prostitution, holdups and
robberies are mounting. Heat is al
most non-existent except in Allied
buildings and expensive hotels.
Macmillan, explaining the con-
cessions made to Italy, sale that
they were intended to make effec-
tive to the full a changed Allied
relationship with Italy which in
future will be one of consultation
and advice.
The Allies will necessarily pro-
tect military needs in Italy, he
said, but many Allied rights under
the ar1nistice will be relaxed.

DURHAM, Feb. 25. up W. G..
Bramham, head of baseballs min
or leagues, said today that in "a
move to cooperate with our govern

He would discourage the return
to active status of any minor cir

lative granting suspension for the
duration, he added.
The Carolina and North Caro-
lima State leagues already have
returned to active status.
Tentative plans had been made
for organization of at least one
new circuit.

cy which puts the interests of the
government and the end of the war
foremost" Bramham said.
