Like the heroes in any book, Postponed In 1st Half Only Manheim Columbia Able to-Keep on Schedule By Barbara Miller An extra week may be added to the schedule of the County High School Basketball League at the close of the second half in February, R. L.

Eshleman. assistant superintendent of county schools and director of the League, said today. The announcement was made following the cancellation due to sickness, of 16 of the 39 games unprecedented heights, with teams I scheduled for December, battling in two leagues, the Na- Two weeks remain in the first half of the schedule, with 18 games (lined up for the 20 teams competing for sectional laurels. Although arrangements concerning the making up of unplayed games are left in th hands of the individual schools, it will be impossible for all teams to complete their schdules before the start of the second half of the season, on Jan. 15, Eshleman said, adding that no changes will be made in the dates of games arranged for next month.

Only two quintets, those representing Manheim Twp. and Co-lumbia, have played ell their league games. The NeffsvUle boys, with an unblemished record of five straight wins, lead Section II, while two teams are tied for first place in both of the other sections. East Hempfield, having met four of its five scheduled opponents, and Rothsville, with a single game in five played, remain undefeated In Section I. In Section III, East Lampeter, w'ith one postponement out of three, and Paradise, with two out of its three games postponed, have maintained their 1,000 scores.

Section hardest hit by the recent epidemic, was forced to call off seven of its 15 scheduled games; four of the same number remain unplaved in Section II, and Section III has had five postponements out of nine. With the exception of Rothsville, which has and! fur games to make up, and Manheim Twp. and Columbia, which have up-to-date records, each team must meet one or two additional opponents before an accurate record of sectional standings may be compiled. Its still anyone's race," seems to be the unanimous feeling of the loopers even the seven quintets which have not yet chalked up any wins remain optimistic about the second half of the card, and all 20 teams will be primed for action for the post-holiday tilts on the next two Fridays which complete the first half of the schedule. tional and the new All-America Conference.

This situation is expected to ultimately develop into a World Series comparable to that of baseball. In golf, tennis, automobile racing, fixtures that were discontinued during the war years will be resumed in full blast with old and new stars vieing for supremacy. Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan and Jug MoSpaden are among the more formidable for the U. S. Open to be held June 13-15 at Clevelands Canterbury.

Fred Haas will be a favorite In the National Amateur. Davis Cup competition is to be resumed w'ith Australia, the defending nation, possessing a new headliner in young Dinny Pails in addition 'to Adrian Quist John Bromwich. Great things are expected of Leslie MacMitcliell as the indoor track season rolls along. Sprinters Buddy Young and Barney Ewell are swifter than ever. Doc Blanchard will once more be the unusual combination of sprinter and shotputter.

There be vast improvement in class competition.

Old men and callow youths will be replaced by experienced performers of consummate skill. And it stands to reason that the enthusiasm of fans will not diminish with the return of genuine stickouts. Baseball, which felt no decline in interest but dropped sharply in quality during the war years, will experience a tremendous uplift. Major league teams which plodded along with inferior talent will once again feature stars. Minor leagues, forced to close shop because of player shortages, will reopen.

Watch the Yanks Peace promises to again make the Yankees a team to fear in the American League, with Joe DiMaggio, Tom, Henrich, Joe Gordon, Phil Rizzuto and other top-liners hack. The Rex Sox could become a factor with the return of Ted Williams, Bobby Do err, Tex Hughson and others. In the National League mast attention is given the Cardinals, whose G. I. list included a small army of polished major leaguers.

Meanwhile all other major, league teams eagerly await returnees. And the line is forming to the right to grab surplus talent which the Cardinals will lind on hand. Money will flow like water before the training camp sessions are over. New stars who would normally have reached the majors during the past four seasons will suddenly crop up to perplex experts who dare make forecasts. Boxing will see Its greatest boom since the golden 20's.

Joe Louis and Billy Conn will bring back the million-dollar gate perhaps thrice over when they battle for the heavyweight championship June. Television will make its first ser.ous bid for national sports recognition in connection with this fight, for which a record price of $100 for ringside seats has been announced. Thus in one fell swoop Madison Square Gardens two-and-a-quarter millions for 1945 will be eclipsed. Champions in all divisions will come galloping back.

The top crowds of the day will be concentrated in Pasadenas Rose Bowl where all-conquering Alabama will engage the thrice-beaten Trojans of Southern California before about 90,000 fans and in New Orlenas where the unbeaten and untied Oklahoma Aggies will tangle with the once-beaten Galloping Gaels of St. Mary's before about 72,000 customers in the Sugar Bowl.
