The Sports Trail
By

I -r*—r—-—
NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—W—Much has been written
about the training routine at the Navy Pre-Flight schools,
and how the Rangers are taught to take care of them
selves, and anybody who gets in their way, under any cir
cu instances
You don’t hear much about the lads who are in what
is, to our mind, one of the most punishing branches of the
service. Physically punishing, that is, as we can’t think of
anything much worse than being tossed in a butter church
studded with bolts, knobs and whatnot while someone sits
outside fanning it with blow
torches.
That might give a hazy idea of
what happens to the lads in the
armored outfits when they climb
inside a tank and someone presses
the button. The best training for
a job like that would seem to be
batting your head against water
pipes and falling down elevator
shafts, and why our friend Mickey
McConnell chose that branch of
the service is a mystery, as he is
one of these long, meatless, loose
jointed fellows who might be ex
pected to come unhinged here and
there with rough handling.
Anyway, Mickey, now a private
in the 36th Armored Regiment at
Camp Campbell, Ky., writes thatj
he still is all in one piece. Perhaps j
his job of secretary of the Brook-1
lyn Dodger Farm System during i
the Larry MacPhail regime made |
him immune-to shocks. The Dodg-j
er offices at times must have re
sembled the inside of a tank, at
that.
Mickey right now has among his
duties the management of the
camp basketball team, which at
a recent count had won 14 straight
games and which Mickey says
rates a spot on the Madison Square
Garden court programs.
The cage team is just one branch
of a conditioning program which,
the armored men at Camp Camp
bell maintain, makes their outfit
perhaps the most sportsminded
unit in the Army.
Lieut. Gen. Jacob'L. Devers, an
outstanding athlete at West Point
during his student days, believes
the ability to think quickly under
stress is a prime requisite of a
fighting man, and that this ability
is developed more by participation
in athletics than by anything else.
Encouraged by such leadership,
Col. G. X. Cheves of the 36th has
surrounded himself with athletic
figures who are duplicating their
sports achievements in their com
bat training. Colonel Cheves, a
brother of “Buck” Cheves, prom
inent Southeastern conferenr?
sports official, participated in
haseball, basketball and track dur
ing his prep and college days in
Georgia.
To say that the regiment’s bas
ketball team is just another branch
of the conditioning might be mis
leading. It really is the oustand
ing team so far developed at the
camp. It is coached by Lieut.
Sherwin Northcutt, former Tennes
see player, and the roster looks
like it had been plucked out of a
basketball Who’s Who.
Just a few of the players are
George Lacy, former Richmond U.
star and a baseball catcher with
the Boston Red Sox; Bemie Opper,
ex-Kentucy captain; Dutch Gar
finkel, former St. John’s ace; Bill
Goodwin, from the Albany, N. Y.,
pro quintet; Andy Flasko, from
Connecticut, and Carl “Hoot”
Combs, standout basketballer and
footballer at Kentucky U.
Other sports at the camp have
a similar sprinkling of celebrities,
with Mike Raffa, ranking feather
weight, included on Chaplain W.
X. Anderson’s boxing team, and
Gilbert Hall and Russell Bobbitt
forming the nucleus of a tennis
team, although tennis does seem
a little on the light side for a
member of the armored forces.
Rugged sports is what they
want, as they are preparing for
plenty of body contact with the
inside of a tank. The tanks take
it pretty well.

BETTY’S WORD
IS DISPUTED
(Continued from Page One)
which Mis? Hansen, formerly of
Lincoln, Neb., asserts Flynn placed
her, disrobed her and violated her.
Earlier in the day the defense
had probed exhaustingly into the
private life of Miss Hansen be
fore and during the party last Sep
tember 27 Defense Attorney Jer
ry Giesler drew from Pvt. Martin
E. Ross, former bellboy at a Hol
lywood hotel, that Miss Hansen
had stayed there frequently, as
often as three or four times a
week, although she had been reg
istered as a guest only once. Ross
also declared that a few days after
the party M;ss Hansen had told
him she had engaged in no in
timacies there.
Ross, who said he had felt as j
a big brother toward Miss Hansen, j
asked her if she had had relations
with anyone at the affair.
“Did she deny it?” asked Gies
ler
“Yes, she definitely did, the
witness replied
1 McEvoy said that Flynn had
played tennis until about 7:30 o.m.
The actor then changed his clothes
and by that time guests had start
ed arriving for dinner, which was
served atound 8:30, McEvoy con
tinued.
During dinner, Betty left the ta
ble, evidently ill. Everyone else
remained at the table, including
Flynn.
After dinner McEvoy and Flynn
sat for perhaps 25 minutes on a
sun porch and had a couple of
drinks, McEvoy said. During that
period. McEvoy thought he saw
Miss Hansen come into the house
from a terrace. He left Flynn
only once during that interval,
when he went for some cracked
ice.
Shortly afterward Flynn left.
McEvoy accompanying him to his
automobile
McEvoy under cross examina
tion by Deputy District Attorney
Thomas Cochran, admitted he told
the grand jury last October 15
that Miss Hansen appeared at the
party to have been dazed by a
drink.
'T presumed her illness was
caused by a drink,” he continued,
“but I am now convinced it was
from something else, perhaps her
swimming tha1 afternoon. I saw
Flynn offer her a cocktail and
she took only a sip.”
McEvoy also admitted he dis
cussed the case with Defense At
torney Robert Ford and Flynn at
Flynn’s house Regarding discrep
ancies in his testimony today,
compared to the transcript of his
grand jury testimony, McEvoy
said he had refreshed his memory.
The state, on cross-examination,
carefully went over the testimony
of Elaine Patterson, a waitress,
and a passenger on rne yacni
cruise on which Peggy LaRue Sat
terlee, 16, the ^ther complaining
witness, or.arges Flynn seduced
her. Miss Patterson had testified
on direct examination that at no
time on the return trip from Cata
lina, where Miss Satterlee says she
was molested, did she see Flynn
and Peggy go below decks.
She admitted today, however,
that “I wasn’t watching him all
the time.’’ She also admitted that,
during an interview with district
attorney’s investigators, she had
said that Buster Wiles, friend and
employe of fiynn, had attempted
to induce her to state the actor
hadn’t gone below with Miss Sat
terlee.
“Isn’t It true you said you re
fused, because you couldn’t say
positively?” Cochran asked.
“Yes, that is true,” the witness
responded
The courtroom was jammed with
the curious in anticipating Flynn
himself might take the stand. He
had tentatively been scheduled to
testify late today, but defense
counsel said his appearance might
be delayed.

COMEBACK TO WIN
37 ■ 35 IN TOURNEY
Basketball For The Re
cords Played In Third
Quarter
A beatiful third quarter come
back enabled the New Hanover
Wildcats to overcome a previous
lead and defeat a strong Wilson
Cyclone team to the tune of 37 to
35, in the locals’ first 1943 con
ference tilt.
From the start of the fray Wil
son looked like the team to watch,
as they began to pump tallies into
the hoop. After five furious min
utes of play the visitors led, 6-0.
There was no stopping the Cy
clones as they continued to score
almost at will over the slow Wil
mington lads. The first quarter
ended with the visitors scoring
right and left and the score lean
ing their way, 11-2.
The “battling-blitz” that follow
ed, held down the scoring due to
the fact that neither team could
spare the time to aim their shots,
the ’Cats began to hold a little of
their own in the final minutes of
the first half, but the score still
was in favor of the Cyclones, 17 to
8.
Coming from the intermission
both teams surged out with all
they had. Basketball for the rec
ords, was played in that third
quarter. Overcoming a half-time
lead of five points. The locals put
on a final third session sprint, and
when the quarter ended the ’Cats
were in the lead 30 to 25.
Quarter No. 4 had excitment
galore as the Wildcats clung hope
fully to their five point lead and
the Cyclones blowing themselves
out in trying to cut down on that
lead before game ended; however
the time passed on before they had
cut-down the necessary amount
and the Wildcats won the game
37 to 35.
The largest crowd of the year
was on hand to see their alma
mater down the visitors. Approxi
mately 500 students and fans filled
all available seats in the gymna
sium.

With the Prime Minister was
Lnrd Leathers, British Minister of
War Transport.
For 10 days the combined staffs
have been in constant session,
meeting two or three times a day,
and recording progress at inter
vals to the President and Prime
Minister.
The entire field of the war was
surveyed theater by theater’
throughout the world, and all re
sources were marshalled for a
more intense prosecution of the
war by sea, land, and air.
Nothing like this prolonged dis
cussion between two allies has
ever taken place before. Complete
agreement was reached between
the leaders of the two countries
and their respective staffs upon
war plans and enterprises to be
undertaken during the campaigns
of 1943 against Germany, Italy,
rnd Japan with a view to draw
ing the utmost advantage from the
markedly favorable turn of events
at the close of 1942.
Fremier Stalin was cordially in
vited to meet the President and
Frime Minister, in which case the
meeting would have been held very
much farther to the east. He was
unable to leave Russia at this time
on account of the great offensive
which he himself as commander
in-chief is directing.
The President and Prime Minis
ter realized up to the full the
enormous weight of the war wnich
Russia is successfully bearing
along her whole front, and their
pr'me object has been to draw as
much weight as possible off the
Russian armies by engaging the
enemy as heavily as possible at
the best selected points.
Premier Stalin has been fully
informed of the military proposals.
The President and Prime Minis
ter have been in communication
with Generalissimo Chiang Kai
shek. Tney have apprised him of
the measures which they are un
dertaking to assist him in China's
magnificent and unrelaxing strug
gle for the common cause.
The occasion of the meeting be
tween the President and Prime
Minister made it possible to in
vite General Giraud (Gen. Henri
Honore Giraud, high commissioner
of French Africa) to confer
with the combined chiefs of staff,
and to arrange for a meeting be

mystery of why the young bride
was killed, and who did it. She
was neither robbed nor rapid.

Into that basket, figuratively, will
go the death car, pages of testi
mony taken from passengers in
the Pullman, and the stories told
by three men held in connection
with the case.
Marine Pvt Harold R. Wilson,
22, whose parents moved to Buck

Minn., and John Funches, 30-year
old Negro dining car waiter from
Oakland, Calif., were held incom
municado in the Linn county jail

Justice of the Peace Victor Ol
liver fixed bail at $5,000 each. He
set the same bail yesterday for
Robert Folkes, 21, Negro second
cook, who was arrested in Los
Angeles as the train arrived there.
The theory that the slayer might
have left the train as it stood on
a siding in Tangent while a north
bound train passed was fading.
State Police Sgt. E. B. Houston
discovered tracks in the snow in
the Tangent yards, but traced
them to the farm of Ollie Newport.
Newport said he made the tracks
walking home from listening post
service as an air raid warden.
Houston said that splotches in
the snow, at first believed to be
blood, proved to have been made
by rusty water with one excep
tion. That was blood which came
from a railroad trackwalker who
had a nose-bleed.

CRISES APPEAR
AFTER PARLEYS
(Continued from Page One)
through the submarine-infested At
lantic despite reports that Hitler
had learned of the meeting and had
ordered his U-boats to sink the
Prince of Wales at all costs.
He broadcast to the conquered
peoples of Europe:
The next Roosevelt-Churchill meet
ces are arming in your behalf.
Have hope. Deliverance is sure.”
The next Roosevelt-Churchill mee-t
ing took place in the tense atmos
phere of wartime Washington. The
prime minister arrived December
22, this time on the battleship Duke
of York.
H. M. S. Prince of Wales had
been sunk with H. M. S. Repulse
off Malaya by Japanese planes.
While Mr. Churchill was in Wash
ington. Hongkong and Manila ca
pitulated. Singapore's days were
numbered as were those of the
Dutch empire in the lush islands of
the South Pacific.
On New Year's day came the idea
that the two leaders had conceived.
The four largest groups of humanity
on earth — China, Russia, the Unit
ed Kingdom and the United States
of America — signed the declara
tion of the United Nations of the
world, pledging themselves to the
defeat of Fascist aggression. The
next day 22 other nations signed
the declaration. Since than three
more have added their signatures.
Mr. Churchill' returned to Eng
land by air. Reason: To many Na
zi submarines in the Atlantic.
In that long winter the United
Nations hung on where they could
while the arsenal of democracy
gathered speed.
By June 18 when Mr. Churchill
again arrived in Washington, this
time by air, the public was gripped
with the possible prospect of a sec
ond front.
But again the circumstances sa
vored ot a crisis. Russia was falling
back under a second spring offen
sive by Hitler, and his African corps
under General Erwin Rommel had
driven inside the Egyptian border.
And it happened that during this
fateful month of June, Nazi sub
marines sank 78 United Nations ves
sels — the highest admitted total
for any month.
The White House let it be known
that speculation on a second front
was "perfectly justified."
Mr. Roosevelt has since described
how this meeting- mapped the larg
est water-borne invasion in history,
the joint Anglo-American invasion
of French North Africa.
Still more aid to Russia was de
cided upon, and a general division
of strategy was determined.
The fruits of this meeting, by the
end of the year, enabled Mr. Chur
chill to announce that we had
reached the “end of the beginning.”
Now again the stage is set. The
German submarine remains a ter
rible. unsolved problem. But Russia
is 1 oiling back the Nazis. American
production in ships and planes and
tanks and guns is roaring into the
highest levels in history. Rommel
has withdrawn from Libya to join
forces with the German garrison at
Tunis as United Nations forces
close in.
Our toehold in l£ast Asia grows
stronger steadily in the Solomons
and in New Guinea.
And so — the fourth Roosevelt
Churchill meeting, to agree upon
"plans and entei-prises" for 19-13 to
draw “the utmost advantage from I
the markedly favorable turn of
events at the close of 1942 ”

AT N. Y. TRACK
The Old Gray Mare To Be
Used To Solve Driv
ing Difficulties
NEW YORK Jan. 26.—(J*1—The
Old Gray Mare had a loud horse
laugh on the automobile today as
word got around that all four of
New York’s metropolitan district
race tracks definitely are consid
ering using horses to get fans to
and from race tracks this year.
Reports of this means of get
ting the two-buck bettors and the
mutuel machines together turned
up at the same time as the state
racing commission announced a
full 180-day racing season this
year for the five New York state
tracks, even including hard-to-get
to Saratoga, upstate. Saratoga was
given its customary mid-summer
month from July 26 through Au
gust 28.
Commission Chairman Herbert
Bayard Swope brought up the
horse transportation idea. He sug
gested the "best way” out of
transportation difficulties now be
setting race tracks because of the
ban on pleasure driving “would
be to get horse*drawn vehicles at
work again.”
As a result Belmont, Aqueduct,
Empire City and Jamaica, all of
which are located within reason
able distances of regular transpor
tation lines, are thoughtfully look
ing into the plan of hitching up
horses and wagons to get the cash
contributors from the stations on
these lines to the horse parks and
back again. As a matter oi tact,
Belmont already has a counle of
propositions from owners of oat
burner emporiums. One is from
the same horse contractor who
handled the Iransportation of the
customers to the trotting track
at Old Westbury out on Long Is
land last summer.
This stunt proved satisfactory
then, and Belmont admits it does
n’t see any reason why it shouldn’t
work out for a bigger running
plant. The Belmont horse haven
is roughly a mile from the Queens
Village Station of the Long Island
railroad, which has regular serv
ice from Pennsylvania station in
New York.
Although nothing final has been
done on the idea up to now, most
of the tracks are havipg meetings
in the next couple of weeks to
make up their minds. They still
have nearly three months before
the gee-gees come galloping back,
since the schedule the commission
announced has Jamaica opening
the seven month show in these'
parts on April 8. After Jamaica
winds up May 8. it’s Belmont May

NEW YORK. Jan. 26.-^
Army’s announcement that enli<*.
ed reservists soon will be called
for active duty from the college
doesn’t necessarily mean that i
tercoUegiate athletics will be halt'
ed or even greatly curtailed ij
the near tuture.
College athletic authorities aren't
certain yet what the results „[
this call will be, but in an Asso
ciated Press survey today of the
major institutions throughout th
nation, they indicated their belief
that there won’t be anv major
change before the 1943 football sea
son comes around.
Except in a few cases, they’™
just starting new terms that Wll,
keep most of the members of win
ter sports teams in school until
the season’s end. The reservists
won’t be ordered up until the end
of the first college term after Dec
31, 1942, and even then it tta'
take some time before they're ac!
tuallv inducted Advanced n"
O. r.C. men, engineering and med
ical students and other specialized
groups are excepted and so far
there has been no change in the
procedure of summoning Air Corn
Reservists, Navy “V-7” men o
Marine Corps Reservists.
With these to form the nuclei;
of their teams, college athletic a.
thorities figure they'll be able t*

they say they plan to do just that
“Pennsylvania will play basket
