Hollands S|ykhuis
First Foreigner 10
Win Baxter Mile
BY the Asseeioted Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Wiliy
Slykhuis Of Holland became the
first foreigner ever to win the
historic Baxter Mile when he out
ran an international field in the
feature event of the New York
Athletic Clubs indoor games to-
night to win going away in 4:09.2.
The Dutch Olympic star toured
the final quarter-m on the
wooden oval at Madison Square
Garden in exactly so seconds to
the thunderous applause of 10000
fans who already had seen George
Guida of Villanova break the
world indoor record for 500 yards.
Slykhuis turned on his famous
finishing kick and reached the
tape a good ten yards in front
of Frances Marcel Hansenne, who
looked surprisingly strong in his
first appearance here this year.
Ingvar Bengtsson Of Sweden
made it a sweep for the European
olympians by placing third, al
though he trailed Hansenne by
20 yards and barely saved his posi-
ton from Browning Ross of Villa
nova.

yards over Sweden's Erik Ahlden
who beat him by a whisker last
week in Boston.
George Guida of Villanova es-
tablished a new world indoor rec
ord Of 500 seconds for 500 yards
when he captured the Buermeyer
Cup.
The Villanova Olympian's per-
formance before q crowd of some
10000 eclipsed the previous world
and American indoor mark of ST.
seconds set in the 1912 New York
A. c. Meet by Alfred Diebolt, jr.,
of Colgate.
Guida was pushed all the way
by Jack Hammack of Army, who
missed overtaking him at the tape
by less than a yard and was
clocked in ST. seconds, equalling
the fastest previous time ever re-
corded on the boards for the dis
tance.
Tom Dickel of Louisiana State
came from behind on the final
lap to win the Matt Halpin Half
Mile by five yards.
The Sugar Bowl and Southern
conference champion covered the
51z laps on the Gardens wooden
saucer in 1:54.5, with Tarver Per-
kins of the Illinois Athletic Club

10 field goals and three charity

long-range scoring became pretty
monotonous at times.
Georgetown was severely handi-

it's lack of height. Seton Hall

Ray Corley scored five field

that the Government is losing as
much as $4,000. 100000 q year
through evasion and use Of loop
holes in the tax laws.
Both MIR. Doughton and Mr..
Forand indicated the Ways and
Means Committee will be inclined
to work on legislation to shut of
this leakage" before even con-
sidering any possible request for
higher taxes.
Just back from his North Caro-

an interview that he found 'the
people clamoring loudly for econ
omy in Government and tax re-
lief"
He said Congress should do
something right away about excise
taxes. He said he hoped some OF
these levies-"particularly those
that slow down business and cause
undue hardships on consumers
could be reduced.

81 times hotter than the sun was

DR.. Thornton Page Of Yerkes
Observatory, Chicago. said the
star, which is oentered in a ring

of 100000 degrees Fahrenheit.
His disclosure was made in q
paper at the convention Of the

He pointed out there are thou
sands Of stars hotter than the sun,
which has a surface temperature
Of only 10000 degrees Fahrenheit.
But the new hot star is from two
to three times greater than any
previously reported, he said.
The central star is as large and
probably larger than the sun, he
said, but it Is untold millions OF
miles farther away from the earth.
II 1t was as close as the sun, all
