track championship in 23 years Trojans Absent Illinois piled 79 points to cap ture the 23rd running of the his toric track and field carnival tak ing over the crown that Southern California held for nine straight years only to forego its defense of the title this year because of trav el restrictions The Illini triumph returned the NCA crown to the midwest for the first time since Indiana won in 1932 The much publicized attempt of the stubby Mr Young Negro freshman sensation to become the first man to win four NCAA events since Jesse Owens did it in 1936 failed in two respects: (1) Young was defeated in the broad jump by Ralph Tyler of Ohio State who leaped 23 feet inches and (2) Young scratched in the low hurdles when it was obvious that Illinois would win anyway ive by ive Nevertheless the Mr ive by ive from Chicago piled up 28 of 79 points taking firsts in the 100 yard and 220 yard dash and second in the broad jump based on the NCAA scoring of 10 points for first place and eight for second In addition he led Con well to the tape by ten yards in the 220 dash Runner up to Illinois was Notre Dame with a 19 man squad that spread Its overall strength to 43 points Michigan largely upon the work of its famous Hume twins finished third with 40 points The also rans were: Ohio State 23 Northwestern Purdue and Morgan State 20 Marquette 19 New York and Missouri 18 Wisconsin and Miami

bank clerk has found time to return to third base for the crestfallen Chi cago Cubs which should give them their best chance yet to vacate the National League cellar Happy Hack who does nothing by halves any equal among the motley lot of third basemen patrolling the beat in the majors today and when he gets his heart and soul into winning games for the Cubs he may spark the whole team into a

Jimmy Lidell Los Angeles negro in a scheduled ten round bout here last night which Referee Packy Mcarland wisely stopped in the fourth round award ing the fight to the Albina ship yard worker via the TKO route Dolan entering the ring at 127 pounds was a much stronger boy than when he was fighting at a lighter weight The 135 pound Lid dell picked to administer a sleep ing pill to Irish Joey ran into two right hand shots to the jaw followed by a looping left hook which started the carnage Getting the range Dolan stormed in dumping his dusky rival on the deck twice for five counts A right hook draped Liddell over the ropes and the leg weary Negro stood helplessly with his hands at his sides He was decked for a four count a second later at which junc ture Referee Mcarland stopped the unequal

Annual AAU Track Meet Set NEW YORK June 10 A sterling field of track and field stars including 12 defending cham pions and teams and individuals from 33 different states was as sured tonight for the 56th annual American track and field meet next Saturday and Sunday June 17 and 18 Officials of the sponsoring ama teur athletic union said the ad vance list of stars was remarkable in view of wartime manpower con ditions which makes it impossible for numerous other competitors to defend their laurels More than 85 per cent of the big entry list will be provided by the various branches of the armed forces including men on furlough and teams from navy and marine 12 and 5 colleges and an out size cigar in his mouth at the same time has been the number one for years and his fielding is both steady and spectacular Affairs in Shape Hack did not report to the Cubs this spring for the first time since he joined them 11 years ago be cause of the manpower shortage on his ranch at Pendleton Ore I Recently however he got his 'af fairs in shape and decided to re turn to the team The 35 year old left handed hit ter probably without an equal with men on bases has batted in 529 runs during his major league tenure and has a lifetime average of 303 He slumped to 289 last season but with major league pitching as sub standard as it is now he is likely to step up that pace considerably It was back in 1931 that Hack decided to take a chance on base ball as a career because his job as a Sacramento Calif bank clerk bored him He took his two week vacation during the time the Sac ramento Coast League team was in spring training and promptly got a job In his first season he played 164 games at third base and had a lusty batting average of 352 He moved to Chicago the fol lowing year and aside from a short stretch at Albany in the Inter national League in 1933 has re mained with the Cubs through out Extra Curricular His extra curricular activities used to bother the dickens out of the Cub management A licensed pilot he flew his own plane until 1932 when he cracked up in a flight on the coast luckily escap ing injury The Cub management extracted a promise from him not to fly again and he devoted his energies to sleuthing Two days before the 1932 world series Hack was riding in a police squad car It met with an acci dent and he injured several ribs The Cub management never knew until after the series was over that Hack had played with the injured ribs although he did not see much action Late in the 1937 pennant race when the Cubs were in the thick of the fight Hack joined police in a search for a burglar and was ready to shoot it out with the tres passer with his own guns Hack now more settled in his ways raises Scottie dogs and plays tennis for diversion And the Cubs will find plenty to keep even as busy a gent as he is occupied from now on Ex Bear Athlete Missing in Action SANTA CRUZ Cal June (UR) irst Lt Max Dowden for mer University of California ath lete has

game winners are more or less pre requisites The Detroit Tigers now edging toward the top of the American League standings appear to have pitching and two 20 game winners in Hal Newhouser and Dizzy Trout Between them Lefty Hal and Righthander Dizzy won 14 games by June 1 contribu tion to that total was eight victor ies which is all he could win last season in 38 games Trout a 20 game winner last year appears to be on his way to another banner season and if New houser continues his present pace be seeing the Tigers back in the world scries picture they last appeared in after the 1910 season rom Beaumont Both Newhouser and Trout are products of the farm at Beaumont in the Texas League Trout who was something of a colorful character when he burst into the majors came up first having pitched his last minor league ball in the 1938 season Newhouser came up from Beau mont the next season Newhouser bothered with wild ness earlier in his career has set tled down and become one of the Tiger aces He has a remarkably fast ball and struck out 144 bat ters last season At the same time he walked more batters 111 than any other flinger in the league Trout began his career as an 18 year old youth He hit the minors with Terre Haute and then moved up to AA ball with Indian apolis Toledo was his next stop and then he was sent to the Beaumont farm Dizzy Trout At Beaumont Trout was the pitching star of the league win ning 22 against only six losses in 1938 That brought him to the Motor City and he has stayed on ever since At first he was used sparingly pitching only in relief roles Ilis record was poor until last season when he won his 20 games Newhouser a native of Detroit began his career with Alexandria in the Evangeline league in 1939 His fire ball was noticeable even at the start and he fanned 107 batters in 96 innings pitched One season at Beaumont and he was brought up by the Tigers although he had no minor league record to marvel at or the past three seasons he has struck out at least 100 or more batters His best season with the Tigers was in 1910 when he won nine and lost nine our ormer ootball Stars Led by Jumpin' Joe Savoldi Are Throwing Blocks Tackles on
