ham's leap to tie for runner-up hon-
ors.
Ralph Schwarzkopf, Maize and
Blue captain last year, competed in
the Millrose meet unattached, and
gained a fourth place in the two-
mile. Greg Rice, former Notre Dame
star, copped first in 9:03.6, followed
by Don Lash, ex-Indiana distance
ace, eight yards behind. Luigi Bec-
cali, 1932 Olympic champion from
Italy, finished third.
Ralph Takes Fourth
Schwarzkopf didn't, move out of
the ruck until the field was three
laps from home. Then he suddenly
moved up on the outside, climbing
from sixth place to third behind Rice,
and Joe McClusky. Ramblin' Ralph
held that spot around the board
track, but in the final lap, when the
race developed into a two-man bat-
tle between Rice and Lash, he was
caught by Beccali and had to be con-
tent with 'fourth place.
Earle Meadows, the National In-
door champion, and Ken Dillis, for-
mer teammates at Southern Californ-
ia, finished one-two in the pole vault.
Both cleared 14 feet, but Meadows
took the prize for making it on his
.first try. '
Mehl Wins Mile
In the feature Wanamaker mile
Walter Mehl, , former Wisconsin
champion, took his second straight
indoor triumph ofthe young season,
edging Les MacMitchell of N.Y.U. by
three yards in 4:13.6.
Indiana's great Campbell Kane ran
his string of indoor victories to three
straight tonight by capturing the
halfmile in the, slow time of 1.58.
The brilliant Hoosier runner hit the
tape four yards ahead of Charley
Beetham, veteran National champion,
who shaded Jim Kehoe for the sec-
ond-place spot.
Another Indiana performer, Roy
Cochran, also made it- three straight
triumphs this winter by taking the
600-yard dash in 1:12. The Big Ten
Quarter-mile title-holder made it look
easy, taking the lead from his pole
position and finishing the winner by
four yards.

Build Pitching Staff
With Veteran Arms
By ART HILL
THE ST. LOUIS BROWNS got
Vern Kennedy's signed contract
yesterday . . . the Brow~ns are quiet-
ly going about the business of build-
ing up a much better than average
pitching staff . . . starting with a
hurling corps which included Eldon
Auker, Kennedy, Emil Bildilli and
Slicker Coffman, they have added
Johnny Allen, Fritz Ostermueller
and Denny Galehouse since the '40
season ended . . . there are six vet-
erans in that list but, collectively,
they should have plenty of pitching
left in those arms.
Kennedy is one of the most in-
teresting characters in baseball
...Jives in a trailer . . . a very
moody gent . . never made good
with Detroit, although he had the
stuff, because he was obsessed with
the idea that the fans didn't like
him ... he's handy with his d'ukes
too . . . Birdie Tebbetts, the fiery
Detroit catcher can testify to that
fact . . Vern gave him a black
eye in St. Louis during the 1939
season for razzing him about' his
fixation.
CHING JOHNSON is still playing
hockey . . . the 44-year old ex-
villain of the New York Americans
is acting as playing manager of the
Marquette Sentinels in the Northern
Michigan League . . . last year, he
led the Minneapolis Millers into the
American Association play-offs . . .
hopes to land another professional
manager's job next season.
Turk Broda, Toronto Maple Leaf
goalie, was once the property of
the Detroit Red.Wings . . . he was
playing with the Detroit Olympics,
then the Wing farm, when the
Toronto scouts came down to look
over Earl Robertson who was in
the nets for Windsor in a game
against the Olympics ... the score
of the game was Olympics 8, Wind-
sor 0 . . the Leafs took Broda in-
stead . . Robertson went to the
Americans . .. Broda now has the
inside track for the Georges Vez-
ina Trophy, awarded annually to
the leading goalie in the league
... Robbie was released to Spring-
field by the Amerks early last week.

BENNY McCOY promises that he's
going to prove to Connie Mack
that he was worth the $45,000 the
A's manager paid to sign him during
the coming season . . . this observer
won't be surprised if he does it . .
we can't help but admire the way he
steps into a fast ball and lashes it
linto right field.
Boilermakers
Down Indiana
Cagers, 40-36
LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 1.-(AP)-
Purdue University's Boilermakers, de-
fending basketball champions in the
Western Conference, dumped In-
diana University's Hoosiers from the
Big Ten lead with a 40-36 victory
before an overflow crowd of about
9,000 tonight.
The defeat dropped Indiana into
a tie for second place and Wisconsin
took over the top spot. Wisconsin has
won five of six Conference games,
Indiana and Illinois three of four
and Purdue two of four.
The Hoosiers played without Paul
(Curly) Armstrong, high scoring for-

Strong Tartars
Will Face Tank
SquadFeb. 19
By WOODY BLOCK
Two days after the new semester'
begins, February 19 to be exact, by
far the best swimming meet of the,
season will be held in the Sports
Building pool when Wayne Univer-
sity's powerful natators engage Matt
Mann's Michigan crew.
Taking a back-seat only to the{
Wolverines and Yale's Eastern+
champs, Wayne is currently ranked
the third best team in the nation,
the same position they earned last
year after a meteoric rise from the
depths of mediocrity.
Last season the Tartars dropped
but two meets-one to Yale and the
other to Michigan-while walloping
Mike Peppe's Ohio State squad, be-
sides a long list of others.
This year Coach Leo Maas has
an even better squad than the '39-
'40 gang and will be without a doubt
the toughest team Matt Mann has
been able to schedule. Only Yale is
rated above the Detroit team and
they refused to meet the Wolverines.
The nucleus of Wayne's strength
rests with three men. Andy Clark,
the lad that took both the 220 and
440 yard races in the dual meet last
year, Guy Lumsden and Bill Prew
provide the Tartars with a trio of the
finest collegiate swimmers in the na-
tion.
' If things break right, and Matt
Mann has his fingers crossed, an ad-
ditional four men will be available
for competition under the Maize and
Blue. Bill Beebe, Iobson Burton,,
Dick Riedl and Jim Welsh join the
squad if eligible-though Welsh is
eligible now and is merely waiting for
the second semester before he gets
into action.
Syl- Apps Leads Leafs
To 3-1 Win Over Hawks
TORONTO, Ont., Feb. 1-(AI3i-Led
by their great center, Syl Apps, the
Toronto Maple Leafs poured a steady
stream of rubber at Sam Lopresti to-
night to earn a 3-1 victory over the
Chicago Blackhawks and an eight
point lead on the National Hockey
:Keague.
Apps scored the first goal and made
the play for another one in the sec-
ond period by Nick Metz. He was at
