Mud Changes Outlook
For $4,000 Stake;
CoaItown Favorite
BY the Assoeia.ed Press

ARCADIA. Calf, Jan. 12.-The
Calumet Stable is untroubled but
some Of the other owners are
anxiously scanning weather re-
ports as entry time approaches for
tomorrow's $4,000 San Pasqual
Handicap at Santa Anita.
Calumet has its crack Coaltown
ready to run and Coaltown can go
in any sort of track conditions.
Mud has prevailed for the past
two days at Santa Anita. and it is
doubtful that such fast-track
horses as William Goetz' Your
Host and Abe Hirschberg's Bolero
will start in the mile and one
sixteenth weekend attraction if
the track is still muddy.
Top-weighted Hill Prince, at 1913
g., pounds, already has been declared
/ out of the race.
\ I. j. Collins Vulcan's Forge most
likely will race, and he is at home
! in the mud. He won the 100000
Santa Anita Handicap in 1949
under such conditions.
C0altown Likely Choice.
Coaltown may well be the bet
ting favorite The 6-year-old
campaigner. winner of $386.025 in
80 trips to the post, took a long
vacation in 1850. He came back
on December 16 at Hollywood Park
and equaled the track record at
six furlongs with a blazing 1895.
Coaltown stands 14th among the
turf's all-time money winners and
looked most impressive in the Hol-
lywood race. his first since last
April 13. Trainer Jimmy Jones is
pointing the handsome son of Bull
Lea for the Santa Anita Handicap
March 3, and the San Pasqual,
aside from its rich prize, is the
first major step in the direction OF
the 100000 fixture.
Coaltown may run into stern op-
position from his own stable, how
ever, because the Calumets de-
pendable Ponder also was nomi-
mated for the San Pasqual.

Coach joey Gallagher of St
Johns is looking with fondness
these days on Bob Reese. who
scored II points to lead his team
to a 62-54 victory over Gonzaga
last night at Uline Arena. The
victory gave the Johnnies undis-
puted possession of the Catholic
League lead.
"He is a lot like Jack George -
Gallagher says. land Jack no
doubt is the best high school boy
I ever coached"
George is making a name for
himself at LaSalle in Philadel-

scorer. The only boy from south

Like George. Reese is tall {6-3)

and I used to take in some of the
games. Reese was tall and

That's a colorful squad the
Johnnies have. Gallagher has nc
reserves of experience and conse-
quently his starting five-Reese
Bill Gaskins, Bob Sweeney, Nick
Poulos and Bill Gorman-must
carry most of the burden. All OF
these were reserves last season
Gallagher did not make one SUBJ
stitution until there were only one
minute and five seconds remaining
in the game. Then, with 10-point
margin in his favor, he cleared the
bench.
Gonzaga made things interest
ing for the 1000 fans until mid
way in the fourth period. The
Johnnies were leading. 49-48. when
Gaskins, Reese, Sweeney, Gormar
and Poulos combined to put ir

when Sweeney started getting
rebounds" Gallagher commented
later. I'VE pulled away. He is the
most improved ballplayer we have
! He likes basketball and all sum-

The Johnnies, unbeaten in eight
games so far. looked as though
they were going to make a rout
of it at first. Reese pushed one up

two-handed set shot to pace the
Johnnies to a 81 lead in the

Armstrong and Phelps were
winners yesterday in the colored
high school basketball double

larly was a thriller, with Center

throw only "a seconds before
the end for 1882 triumph over

easier on the nerves but still

Smooth Settlement
OF Henry Ford Estate
Praised by Judge
BY the Associoied Press

DETROIT, Jan. 6.-The multi
million dollar estate of Henry
Ford is nearing it's final settle
ment.
A fourth in a series of final ac-
countings of the $50 million es-
tate was filed this week. The fifth
and last is expected in the spring.
So smoothly has gone the huge
task of distributing the holdings
of the world-famed motor mag
nate that it received the plaudits
of probate court today. Judge
James H. Sexton indicated it was
extraordinary for an estate of
such size.
Only few brief court sessions
have been needed to settle the
Ford affairs.
And, due to arrangements made
long before his death in 1947, a
breakup of the far-fung Ford
holdings-to pay taxes-has been
avoided.
Taxes Exceed $40 Million.
The Federal Government al
ready has received $32, ,758, $50 in
estate taxes and the State of
Michigan $8,057,059.
Other expenditures have been

late Mrs. Clara Bryant Ford, as

estate administrators.
The latter figure includes $525,-

said that after a final decision is
reached in the annexation case
possibly in June or next Decem-
ber-another four months will be
required before the city can pass
q bond ordinance, hold referen-
dunn and sell the bonds.
Plans Approved in 194S.
The water boards order points
out that plars for disposal plant
and interceptor sewers were ap-
proved by the board on October 25,
1948, and the city has not made
satisfactory progress toward car
rying but those plans. City officials
told the board Thursday that
Alexandria did not have authority
to finance and operate a sewage
disposal system until a new city
charter took effect last June. That
was after fling of the annexation
suit.

Alexandria build its own plant,
but it requires intermediate treat

LONDON, Jan. 6.-In a return
to wartime restrictions. Britain
tonight banned all advertisement
and display lighting in a move to
preserve her dwindling supply of
precious coal.
This means that such centers

There will be no more lighted

Labor government feels that the
fuel shortage has been overcome.
Ministry Imposes Ban.
The ban was imposed by the
Ministry of Fuel and Power, which
is intrusted to see that Britains
millions get enough coal to warm
themselves and that the nations
factories have enough fuel to keep
the machines working on defense
needs.
The order, effective Monday. is
widesweeping. 1t prohibits all ad-
vertisement and display lighting
which uses electricity. gas, oil
and even candlelight.
The only exceptions are the use
of electricity obtained from wind
mill generators and current for
projection of films or slides on
screens in theaters and cinemas."
The purpose of the ban is to
save coal which is required to gen.
crate electricity and make gas. The
fuel ministry explained that the
ban on oil and candles was to fore
stall a run which would lead to
shortages.
Proposals to curtail railway
service also are being considered.
Britain's coal stocks are fast
running out. Prime Minister
Attlee has asked the nations min
ers to work over week ends to
make up a shortage of 3 million
tons by the end of April. The gov
