New Haven Girl, Ann Robinson, Ice Show Stor

New Haven, Jan. 22-NeW Haven has had some great athletes in it's time, in the college and pro ranks, and all of them were royalty treated when they made their homecoming appearance. Albie Booth, the Yale ace, drew the biggest throngs.
 But none of the welcome home" celebrations will outdo that planned for Ann Robinson, the 17-year-old skater who in less than year moved up the ladder from the rookie line to the spotlight as a star of the Ice Capades.
 Her homecoming" is scheduled for Wednesday night when she makes her appearance with the Ice Capades, the ice show scheduled at the Arena here through February 1. The New Haven Advertising club is behind the opening night welcome, working on the theory that Ann has done more than her share to adVer- tise the Elm City. She started two years ago when she won the na- tional amateur novice champion ship, and since late last summer has kept New Haven in the headlines as star of the Capades.
 But, more than the Ad club, New Haven and Connecticut's citizenry is getting ready to acclaim her and more than 10000 are expected to see the little star and her mates in the Capades during it's run here.
 Ann started skating five years ago when she was 12 after seeing the brilliant Sonia Henie. Since then skating has been her career-al- ready a brilliant one.
 Born in New Haven, she attended schools here, and during her anna teur days skated under the banner of the New Haven Skating club. She turned pro at IS, was for 10 weeks a solo skater at New York hotel. A year ago she joined the Capades in New Haven as a skater in the line.
 Wednesday she comes home as a star.

DODDS BOOSTS
 RAFFERTY AS
 NEXT MII.E KING
BY JOSEPH NOLAN United Press Staff Correspondent


 Boston, Jan. 22-(UP) )-America $ next mile king will be Jim Rafferty of New York, but 1t will be up to the present schoolboy ranks rather than the armed forces to produce the mythical -four -minute-man' after the war, according to retiring titlist Gil Dodds.
 The ministerial miller, who hung up his spikes Saturday to devote himself to gospel preaching, told the United Press that Rafferty, 29- year-old former Fordham University star now running under the colorS of the New York Athletic Club, is definitely the man to beat in the forthcoming winter competition.
 "Heady' Runner
 T ran against Jim for three years" Dodds recalled, "and he seemed to improve with age. He runs a good, heady race, has plenty of stamina and dandy finishing kick that will nip a lot of them on the stretch this season."
 Dodds defeated Rafferty every time they met last year when the bespectacled divinity student won 1C straight races, including two record l. shattering mile performances. He holds the American indoor mile mark of 4:06.4
 The milers now in uniform-Bill Hulse, Les Mac Mitchell and others - are bound to suffer from lack of training and will be past their prime when they return to civilian life, Dodds believes.
 On the other hand, Dodds said the high school and prep school boys are getting training under the stiff pre- induction physical program are getting the chance of their lives" to get in condition, and he added:
 They'll be the ones who will hack away at the record. I'd be foolish if l thought my mark would stand long after those boys began shooting at 1t. If anybody is going to hit the four minute mile, I'll be or those youngsters"
 Slow Time
 Tn his farewell appearance, Dodos gave a schoolboy handicap field a lesson as he romped to an easy two mile victory at the Boston Y. M c. A meet. His time was 9:584, l5 sec ord he set a year ago for the dis onds slower than the "" track rec tance which he maintains is his favorite.
 Retiring at the comparatively early age of 26, Dodds said his great est regret was that he would be unable to renew his rivalry with the Swedish star Gunder Hagg who ls slated to arrive in America soon He acknowledged that several track promoters have been putting pres sure' on him to compete on the winter circuit.
 They tell me I'm silly to pull out while I'm on top" he said, but il I lost couple of races they'd prob ably be saying was silly to have stayed around so long"

PROFESSIONAL
 SPORTS PHOTO GETTING DARKER
BY LEO II. PETERSEN United Press Sports EdltOr)

New York. Jan. (UP)-A dur ation "dim-out' loomed today for professional sports unless Congress gives unexpected concessions to athletes in work or fight legislation or a sudden improvement in the war pictures relieves the demand for manpoWer.
 Professional sports leaders were not optimistic, with the sentiment general that the latest war depart ment ruling on Az athletes posed the biggest problem they have faced to date.
 The ruling, which provides that professional athletes no longer will be given physical rejections until their cases have been reviewed by the war department, takes the mat ter of deferments from the hands of local selective service boards and puts it into the hands of an un- designated individual or group in the war department, possibly war time sports coordinator.
 Baseball men particularly were gloomy. Although they feel that the mild encouragement given the sport by President Roosevelt in his press conference last Tuesday, in- dicates there will be no adminis- tration shutdown of the ball parks, they were wondering how many mroe men they can lose and still continue to operate.
 Wait and See
 Moot oUoo,,ti,,oe \uaro dnin0 nniI- tious planning for the coming year, completing arrangements for spring training, hotel accommodations, and park renovations on wait and see what happens" basis. They feel that the president is anxious for baseball to continue if 1t can be done so without interference with the war effort.
 However, his urgent request tc Congress for work or fight" legis- lation may have been his own an- sWer to the question.
 Chairman Andrew J. May, D., Kentucky, of the House Military Affairs Committee, apparently in- tends to fight for sports stoppage. He said he saw no reason why some 
 healthy young men should be play ing baseball while others are over seas fighting for their country"
 On the brighter side was the pre- diction of William B. Kyne, general manager of the Bay Meadows track at San Francisco, who said he be- lieved the nation wide ban on rac- ing would be lifted in the near fu- ture and that his plant would be set to reopen on March IF for a full spring season.
 Athletes Cautious
 The drafting of athletes however, continued at peak since selective service demands began to taper off last spring. Many athletes them selves were cautious announcing that they were sticking to their war jobs. Nearly a score dropped from professional and amateur sports during the past week because of induction calls or decisions to remain in war work.
