Knights of Columbus meets mile
feature tonight before 10000 at
the Boston Garden. Wade's time
was 4:131.
Wade led after the first lap,
but appeared to be surrendering
the advantage to little Johnny
Twomey when that Illinois A. c.
star fell just before starting the
final lap. Twomey, who has suf-
fered two such mishaps previously
this season. managed to gain
fourth place in the seven-man
field, Is yards behind Barry.
Barry, beaten by FBI Agent
Fred Wilt of New York, in a
Alb mile in Philadelphia last
night, led only the first lap.
Then Wade took over and, except
for Twomey's back firing bid,
never was seriously challenged.
The other starters, in the order
OF their finishes, were Carl Joyce
Of Georgetown. Josh Tobey of
Brown, and Neil Pratt of Syracuse.
Wade ran the first quarter in
58.3 seconds. He was caught in
2:02.3 at the half and 3:08.7 at
the three-quarters. After losing
his frst-lap lead, Barry stayed
close upon Wade's heels until the
eighth turn, when he faded and
little Twomey moved into the con-
tention.
Jim Fuchs, another great Yale
star, was counted on to erase the
56-foot 6-inch indoor shot-put
record set by the late AL Blozis
OF Georgetown. Instead, Fuchs, a
consistent 57-foot HEAVIER outdoors,
had to be content with best
throw of SIS feet 4 inches. The
second-place winner was Stan
Lampert of New York University,
with a 51-10 throw.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 21-The
Cleveland Browns, champions of
the defunct All-America Confer
ence during it's four-year exist
ence, lost their first decision to
their new National-American
League rivals tonight.
Commissioner Bert Bell earlier
in the day settled the question of
what to do about reserve list made
up of many college PLAYERS, when
he ruled the 13 teams would
have to cut their rosters to 80
players who were active in 1949,
then give up all claims to all but
three players on their reserve lists.
Bell further ruled that where
claims conf1icted, the clubs could
work out deal between them
selves, or failing in that, toss
a coin for the player. 1t was the
flip OF. coin that gave Dick
Kempthorn. Michigan back, to the
Philadelphia Eagles, National
League champions, when both the
Eagles and Browns claimed him.
Lions Get Doak Walker.
The Browns also gave up
Doak Walker, sensational South
ern Methodist back, in deal with
the Detroit Lions, taking the Lion S
second draft choice for him. Cleve-
land had third conflicting claim
when both the Browns and the
New York Giants included Norbert
Adams, Purdue back. on their lists.
This remained to be settled as the
clubs moved into the first round
of the college player draft last
night.
Earlier the National Leaguers
scored another victory over their
former AAC rivals when Detroit
won the right to retain draft RIGHTS
to Leon Hart, Notre Dame end and
the Lions bonus pick.
None of the Redskins three
reserve players was challenged.
Coach Herman Ball took three
dark horses and may have latched
onto a couple of good boys. He
kept Nick Sebek, Indiana quarter
back and passing star, who must
have been above average to be
picked on Notre Danes all-oppo-
nent team along with such celeb
