A special bus and several private automobiles took the winter sports enthusiasts to the trail, where some spent the day on ‘the regular course, while others trekked up to ‘he head of Montana Creek and glided down to Mons Anderson’s cabin on 12-Mile Creek. Many others flocked to the new Douglas ski trail, while a few were found up the Basin Road. Good skiiing conditions were encountered, despite the continued flurries of snow. —— e VALENTINE LUNCHEON Martha Society announces a Val- entine Luncheon in the church parlors, Friday, Feb. 14. —adv. 157— 450!

And such being the case the crack of the starter's pistol is the signal for veteran track athletes to give at least a bit of thought to the | possibility of staging a come-back /in hopes of gaining berths on the {squad which will represent this country in the summer Olympic {games in Berlin. | The sound of the gun affects a |former footracer just about the |same way that the sound of a | gong affects an old firehorse—it is | the call to action. And what man- ner of runner is he who has not |tried at least one comeback? Frank Nordell, former New York University star, is one of the army |who has been bit by the come- back bug. After a couple of years in retirement, the Philadelphia runner dug out his running togs and shoes and resumed training with an eye on an Olympic team berth. Wins First Comeback Test For his nrst competitive start the selected the 3,000 meter special at the season’s curtain-raising in- deor track meet, the tenth annual games of the Columbus Council, K. of C, in Brooklyn. Nordell made an eleventh hour decision to race and consequently ran as an added starter without an identifying number. It seemed like old times to Frank to find his old rival of college days, Joe McCluskey, formerly of Fordham and now wearing the colors of the New York A. C., the popular choice to win the event just about as he pleased. No one paid any great attention to Nordell for the first mile as All Rights Reserved by Tho Assoclated Press McCluskey gradually increased his advantage over the field to about 20 yards. Nordell was just one of the pack, wearing a plain white jersey and apparently going no place in particular. He was content to swing along with those long, sweeping strides until the field went into the last half mile. Then Nordell settled down to serious running. With each stride McCluskey came back to him until, going into the bell lap, they were shoulder to shoulder. The sound of the gong was the signal for Nordell to start his “kick,” a drive which found Mc- Cluskey in no position to match. Nordell crossed the finish line 10 yards ahead, timed at 8:42.6, fast| that enough when you consider the race was run on the flat armory floor without the benefit of spikes. McCluskey Preps for Big Tests The convincing manner in which Nordell triumphed over the pres- ent national A. A. U. 5000-meter champion and former Olympian, indicates that here may be a pos- sible point scorer in the longer runs at Berlin, a man who has been overlooked by those who have been reckoning our chances. McCluskey's defeat in his first competitive start of the new sea- son should not be taken as an in- dication that the veteran will not be up to par when the big tests come along later. Most of his train- ing for the current indoor season has been along speed lines. His program calls for him to match strides with the country’s leading milers in several of the indoor sea- son’s eight-furlong fixtures and to prepare himself for those runs Joe has concentrated on fast work.

In the nightcap, Krause’s Concreters opened the sec- ond half conference play with an easy victory over Sabin's Clothiers, although the losers played the wine ners even-steven until the last quar- ter. DeMolay was substituting for the Tallapoosa squad in the opener and the results were not listed in leagu: records. The large crowd was fl’nprcssed by the new Eagles outfit from the start, when big Mark Jensen, new to this year's team, paced the FOEmen to a 19-14 margin over the losers at the half. He scored nine points in the first two periods. Rex Fox, tricky forward, helped the cause with three baskets. Claude Erskine controlled the show in the last half with nine points, until ruled out on fouls. The game was a_thriller, with the DeMolay lads fighting uphill several times to take a very short lead.
