NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Fred Sick
niger, who went off to war shortly
after winning the 1943 Metropolitan
AAU indoor championship in the
1,000-yard run, returned in time to
take the 1916 laurels tonight on the
fiat track of the 23d Regiment
Armory in Brooklyn.
Sickinger's last lap squirt sent him
into the tape ahead of Stanton CAL
lender of New York u, defending
champion, and relegated Leslie
MacMitchell, one-time holder of
the mile indoor mark, to third. The
time was a sparkling 81 SIS.
MacMitchell, who shifted to the
event to gain speed for the bigtime
mile runs this winter, started on the
outside of the 13-man field and
wandered all over the eight lap track
trying to get through to the front.
He was within stride of the two
leaders with lap to go but finished
four yards behind Calender, who
was two yards in back of Sickinger.
The mile run went TO Thomas
Quinn, national AU cross-country
champion running in the colors of
the New York A. G. He was chased
across the line in 4:19.1 by William
MCGUIRE, jr., of the 69th Regiment

street boys, now in his 10th year

Five Men in Biq
Of Year
Colts, in Unexpected
Romp, Catch Wilson
For Series Lead
High School Standings.
BY GEORGE HUBER.

An iron-man band of five Vikings
reached the heights last night to
turn in the big upset of the season
as Central High downed a Tech
qulnt that hadn't been beaten in
"a pervious games. The score was
25-l7 as the Vikings ended a streak
that had extended from January S,
l945, when Eastern last defeated
Tech, in game that was supposed
to be a breather for Techs de-
Tending interhigh and metropolitan
champions.
The opening game of last night S
twin bill before a capacity crowd
at Tech also produced big surprise
as Coolidge romped all over Roose-
velt to play 1923 tune through
the nets. That victory gave the tall
Colt quint its third triumph in q
row and pulled it into a first place
tie with Wilson.
Charity Tosses Decide.
Centrals underdog quint, which
this season had beaten only Mount
Rainier and George Washington,
played steady ball last night, con-
trolling the game for rs per cent
of the time, taking no foolish
chances and otherwise turning in a
scientific game. 1t guarded closely
but cleanly, and fouls in the end
really decided the tilt as Central
converted 13 of its II charity tosses
while the surprised Maroons pushed
in five of seven. Both scored six
times from the floor.
Central went ahead in the second
quarter off Mel Farr's free shot and
found itself with a 12-11 half-time
edge. This was increased to
1911 lead halfway through the
third frame with Paul Frederick
and Steve Manos doing the scor-
ing, but Tech managed to pull to
a 1916 tie off shots by Jackie
George, Andy Davis and Charles
Brotman, but that was all. Blackie
Selwyn and Farr gave Central
21-16 margin to take into the final
frame, and the Vikings controlled
the hall tbarao ftor
