Manhattan Conceded
|IC-4A Meet Victory;
10 Hoyas Competing
Special Dispatch 10 The Sior

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Al-
though Manhattan virtually was
conceded its third straight team
championship in tonight's IC-4A
track championships, lively COM
petition among well-matched
fields from AZ schools promised
to make it one of the seasons
blue-ribbon events.
The bulky field made heats
necessary this afternoon in the
! mile, an almost unheard of cir
cumstance, and in the hurdles,
sprints and 1000 and 600-yard
runs. Broad-jumping and 35-
pound weight throwing titles also
were to be decided at the matt
nee session.
Manhattan, second in the AAU
championships week ago, has
a potential record-breaker in
Steve Dillon in the 35-pound
weight ranks. Another mark is
threatened by Penn States Ollie
Sax in the 600. Sax was clocked
in 1904 in a hairline finish with
Nal Whitfield, the winner in
last weeks AAU meet. Vern
Dixon of Manhattan is defending
champion, and the Jaspers have
another good entry in Lou Jones.
Double Likely for Dwyer.
But most ewes will be on Viii
lanova's Fred Dwyer in the mile.
AAU winner last week, the Slen-
der Wildcat star hopes to become
the first runner in history to
score a double in the two races.
Georgetown is sending Carl
Joyce back as defending cham
pion in the 1,000-yard run
against a particularly strong
field, plus Joe LaPierre in the
2-mile instead of the mile where
he finished second to Dwyer last
year. Also likely to score for the
Hoyas is Ray Brophy in the Co.
yard high hurdles.
Other Georgetown athletes
running will be Vince Kelley and
Frank Sowa in the 600, Don
StonehouSe in the dash and a
freshman medley distance relay
team of John Peyton, Gene
Kiechlin, Mike Hidden and Bob
Lippmeier. The Hoya relay team
easily could be a winner, but it
won't count in the team scoring.
Navy is sending a mile relay
team plus a number Of individual
stars, with Ira Kane in the dash
heading the list.
Manhattan FavOrite in Relay.
In addition to Dwyer in the
mile, the defending champions
are Jack O'Connell of Manhat-
tan in the 60-yard dash, Vern
Dixon of Manhattan in the 600,
Joe Perlow Of Army in the pole
vault and John McCallum of
Penn in the shot put. Manhattan
also won the mile relay last
year and has another crew that
figures as the favorite this time.
The 1000 and 600 fields par
ticularly are loaded with classy
runners. Joyce of Georgetown
will have to contend with such
as Paul Raudenbush of Penn,
Billy Smith of Boston u, Mike
Stanley of Yale, Ed Dinges Of
Army and Dick Yaffa of Prince
ton in the 1000. In the 600,
besides Sax and Dixon there
are Lou Jones of Manhattan,
Morris Curotta of Seton Hall.
Jim Lingel of Cornell, John
Tate of Duke and Joe Gaffney
of Villanova, to mention only
the cream.

ARCADIA, Calf, Feb. al
Eleven colts, ranging in quality
from turfdom's aristocracy to
the claiming ranks, go to the
post today to race for a purse of
$131 900 in the 10th running of
the Santa Anita Derby.
More than $4,000 fans were
expected at Santa Anita Park
for the second of four $4,000
attractions, and apparently most
OF them figured to place their
money on the 8-to-5 favorite,
Decorated, Andrew j. Crevolin's
Kentucky-bred.
The mile and one-eighth
struggle of the 3-year-olds was
no cinch for the California turf
man, however, as Decorated
faced a stiff argument in his bid
for the $84,500 top money.
Close behind Decorated, a
$4,000 bargain buy by Crevolin
at Lexington, KY, in 1851. was
Chanlea, a Bull Lea colt from the
always feared Calumet Farm.
Chanlea was z to 2 in the morn
ing line.
Won with Hill Gail.
Calumet captured the Derby
last year with Hill Gail, who
went on to the Kentucky Derby.
Few think Chanlea rates in the
same class, but, many refuse to
bet against Calumet despite
Chanlea's two defeats, in stakes
by Decorated.
Several others in the field are
well-regarded, and even two re-
cent performers in claiming
races, California-bred Black
Rascal and Book Circle, figured
to get good play from the long
shot bettors.
Social OutcaSt, Alfred G. VAN
derbilt'S Derby hope, and Core
spondent. winner by 10 lengths
in his last race for Mrs. Gordon
GuiberSon, were sure of strong
backing.
Rounding out the cast, barring
unlooked-for scratches, were the
Springhill Stables De ANA,
Rocking M Ranch's Merryman,
Invigorator, owned by L. r. Alli-
son of Ell Paso, Tex, and M. r.
Prestridge of Alamogordo, N.
Mex; Rex Ellsworth's Boo Who
and Louis B. Mayors Swell. All
were weighted equally at 118
pounds.
ChanIea Gets Rail.
In the draw for post positions
Chanlea. who has Eddie Arcaro
for his rider, got the rail posi-
ton. while Decorated. with
Johnny Longden in the saddle,
drew the outside.
Other rider assignments in
cluded Eric Guerin on Social
Outcast, Willie Shoemaker on
Invigorator, Bob Summers on
Correspondent, Ralph NeveS on
DeAnza and Jack Westrope on
Black Rascal.
Arcaro, Neves, Westrope and
Longden all have ridden Derby
winners before. Longden, in
fact, is shooting for his fourth
Derby triumph here.
Post time is 4::5O pm. (7:5O
pm. Eastern standard time).

Chuck Stobbs Due to Receive
Harris Morale Treatment

financial competition and the
Red Sox landed Chuck for a
$4,000 bonus. Since FornieleS
didn't cost anything, the Wash
ington club saved quite sum in
achieving it's original ambition
of acquiring Stobbs. .
Stobbs said he could have had
his pick of the Nations colleges
after being graduated from
CRANKY and there's little wonder.
He was All-Southern in football
and basketball, was named to
Esquire magazines All-American
baseball team and was voted Vir-
ginia's athlete of the year.
But he took the $4,000 and
went to the Lynn, Mass, farm
club of the Red Sox, where he
compiled a 90 mark and a 1.72
earned-run average in 1947.
Since he was bonus player, he
had to remain with Boston in
1948. He sat on the bench, pitch
ing only seven innings all season,
as the Red Sox battled for a pen
nant which they lost in a play
off with Cleveland.
Joe Mccarthy employed Chuck
more frequently in 1949 and he
produced an 11-6 record. It was
1877 in 1850 and 1919 the follow
ing year before he was traded
to Chicago.
Couldn't Follow Pattern.
II think I'll do all right taking
a regular turn on the mound, ,"
StobbS said. II didn't know when
was supposed to pitch with the
White Sox. A pitcher should fol-
low a pattern-pitch a game, run
the next day, pitch batting prac-
tice the next and so forth-but
I couldn't do it with Chicago"
Twelve pitchers and four
catchers were on hand yester-
day as the Mats staged their
first drill, but a notable absentee
was Pitcher Walter Masterson,
who didn't bother to discuss his
salary differences with the club
bosses. Also missing and unre-
ported was Bob Danielson, who
won Is games and lost with
Charlotte last season.
Catcher Mickey Grasso agreed
to terms and participated in the
workout, but Masterson was
showing signs of remaining stub
born. Il had a good season last
year." Walt said, "and I want
to be paid for it," He indicated
the next move was up to young
Griffith, but MaSterson and Har-
ris are fishing companions al
most every day and Bucky may
serve as an arbitrator.
Calvin received word from Cuba
that Pitcher Raul Sanchez has
signed, leaving MasterSon, Eddie
Yost, Gil Coan, Mel Hoderlein
and Floyd Baker unsigned. Mas
terson is the only holdout, since
the others have until Thursday
to get in line.

Rear End Collision
Brings Lecture on
Reaction Time

Judge Hugh Reid, delivering a
lecture to an erring motorist in
Arlington Police Court yesterday,
declared that too many drivers
treasure the delusion their re-
action time is instantaneous"
"A healthy man of 35, cold
SOBER" the judge continued. "re-
quires about three-quarters of
a second to react-transfer his
foot from the accelerator to the
brake"
The driver he spoke to was
charged by police with following
too closely just before he collided
with another vehicle, slightly
denting the fender.
Some 38 per cent of our acci-
dents occur because nobody be-
heves in reaction time. We're
interested in stopping these &C
cideAts," Judge Reid said.
At 80 miles an hour, he ex-
planned, 33 feet is covered dur
ing reaction time. Its a mat
ter of simplest arithmetic" he
said. Just add 10 per cent to
the figure on the speedometer."
He fined the motorist $40 and
costs.

Proposals 10 Make
Mail Service Better
And Cheaper Studied
BY the Associoted Press

The Post Office Department
says it has conferred with rep
resentatives of the railroads, the
airlines and the trucking asso-
Citations on plans to improve mail
service and reduce costs.
The separate conferences were
held during the past two months.
a spokesman said, ito get the
most up-to-date thinking" from
the three groups in bringing
about greater efficiency and low
ering costs.
He said there have been no
policy statements from the de-
partment indicating favoring
one type of transportation over
another.
One Of the several proposals
before the department, informed
sources said. called for air move
ment of all or most first-claSS
mail going long distances and
movement Of short-haul mail by
truck.
Conference With Airlines.
Stuart Upton, general coun-
sci of the Air Transport Asso-
citation, said airline representa-
tiveS met with the postal Off
cials on various airmail problems
two weeks ago.
He said the Post Office Depart
ment informed the airline group
it is working up a report on it's
requirements in the air trans
port2tion of mail.
Mr.. Upton said that when
that report is available the air.
line representatives will start a
study Of their own as to ca
pacity, costs, and the possibility
OF meeting those requirements.
Postal officials also have coz
ferred with trucking experts on
the Speedup of local mail Serv-
ices. The Post Office Depart
ment started experiments a year
ago in the use of trucks for Short
haul mail. The results of these
experiments are being closely
studied.
In 1850 the Congressional Air
Policy Board recommended that
the Post Office Department use
air transportation for all first
class mail.
Legislation Introduced.
Legislation to this effect was
introduced in Congress. but was
never acted on.
Mr.. Upton said the airlines
air confident they have the
capacity for a large additional
volume of mail, but they do not
know if they can carry the mail
as cheaply as the railroads be-
cause, he said, they don't know
how cheaply mail is travelling by
surface. He pointed out that the
railroad rate structure is COM
plicated. He added that airmail
rates are fixed by the Civil
Aeronautics Board. and presun1-
ably rates for ordinary mail car
ried by air also would be fixed
by the board.
Mr.. Upton said the airlines
are ready to proceed with their
studies as soon as the proposals
from the Post Office Department
are received.
THE next move is up to them,"
he said.
