Both games were similar in that the underdogs came from behind in the final periods to tie the score and call for overtime to decide the | winner. 1 In the opening tilt, Firemen 44, | Krause 39, the winning team kept ! a small lead throughout the game. Joe Snow, high point man, was in | top form last night and led the at-| tack of the Fire Laddies, backed up by Dutch Behrends and Dewey Ba- | ker. Tom Moyer and Art Burke played a fine defensive game, the results showing in the final score rather than the individual totals. The final period opened with the Firemen holding a six-point lead but a couple of quick, sure Concreter shots brought the score up and Han- son’s counter knotted the count at| 38-all. i In the five-minute overtime the Concreters were able only to gain one free shot while the Firemen | finished the game off in grand/ style, leaving no question as to the) winner, when they sank 3 field goals, | winding up the game 44-39. wvowI#M GONG FLACES FENSKE INA YEAR Another Good Game EAZY--SEEIN' A5 HOW YORE DOWNRIGHT VEARNEST TER MERRY MY LEETLE DARTER, YE --- YE MERRIED A SHIF'LESS SKONK-- AN' YE KNOW T--- By WE-UN BUT I HAIN'T GOT NO CAUSE FER COMPLAINT --- SENCE SNUFFY TUCK TO MEASURIN' HIS CORN (N GALLONS,STIDDER BUSHELS, BILLIE DE BECK S BEEN DO(N' RIGHT PROUDLY OL WILLM SKEETED 'ROUND AN' 'ROUND TH' CORN-CRIB S0 FAST (T LOOKT LIKE THAR WUZ TWO-THREE FELLARS A-CHASIN' EACH OTHER - EAZY'S GOOD FORTUNE (S NORATED (‘M SO FLAMBERGASTED OH-- PAPPY-- HESH UP-- S Daily Sports Cartoon SAN ROMANI\ —HE HAS VICTOR/IES OVER LOVELOCK AN DISCOMBOOBERATED T CAN'T TALK-- — =~ THE.

(14 ROUND AN' ROUND TH' MOUNT'N — HIT SOUNDS LIKE JES' SO MUCH GRANNY HIT'S A SCAN DAL TO TH' woQoD - PECKERS - Sport |Stants | Ever since Paavo Nurmi, fresh | from his greatest Olympic triumphs, | came over here and showed the lads | how to run faster miles, the mile run has been the most popular event on the track and field program. Al { sarade of great milers—fellows like Joie Ray, Lloyd Hahn, Ray Conger, Glenn Cunningham, Bill Bonthron and Gene Venzke—has hammercd |1t the records, indoors and out and kept the competitive fires burn- |1ng at white heat. And with the new crop of four- furlong runners coming up it is more than likely that the pace| will be as fast as ever--maybe a | bit faster. There is Archie San Ro- mani. Archie proved his right to be rated with the great milers of all time when he outran Glenn Cun- ningham and Jack Lovelock, the Olympic 1,500-meter champion and record holder, at Princeton last fall n a 4:09 mile. Prior to that he had finished on Cunningham’s heels in the final Olympic tryouts on Ran- dalls island and later in Berlin fin- | ished fourth in the Olympic 1,500 meters. Added Evidence Just to prove tnat his performanc- es last year were a real indication of his potentialities, San Romani beat Cunningham in the Sugar Bowl meet by a stride in 4:14. Not the]| | fastest mile on record, but plenty |fast when you consider that it was the first race of the season and run on a track logged by a severe rain storm, Don Lash of Indiana, who set 2 world 2-mile outdoor record of 8:58.4 last June, and has a 4:10.8 mile to his credit, is out to add a bit of spice to the winter competi- tion. Lash is a great distance man, but he always has had the notion that he would prefer to match strides with the leading milers. Per- haps it is because the mile over- shadows all other events that the great Hoosier wants to race with the select group. ‘The 2-milers are just another bunch of foot-racers, so far as the average track enthusiast is con-| cerned and, no matter what he| might do in the long runs, Lash feels that he would be forced to take the| back seat when the mile stars take| to the track. Lash is a rugged run- ner — his cross-country triumphs; prove that—and, at the same time,!! he boasts plenty of early speed.

Into two circuits of ten teams each e the bearded bowlers brackated, hose with averages of 500 pins per match, or more, finding taemselves classed as crocodiles, unicorns. or perhaps zebras, and left embroiled in the Ringers’ Circuit. Those for whom the head pin beck- ons not so brightly, are classed as Rookies, and divided in'o trios of Kingfishers, condors, beasles and like ilk. But the fairest of the rollers will vie with each other in the Orioles’ Circuit of eight three-lady teams, variously labeled Siskins, sky-larks, sagehens, ete. And tomorrow eveninz, it all gets under way. New scoring sheets will be broken out, points put on the crayons, and the second half of the winter pin season will opcn with one match in each circuit on each night's program. Tomorrow night's matches will line up as: Oriole: Robins (Mrs. Lavenik, Miss Dig-| gins, (Mrs. Mrs. Waugh) vs. Bluebird White, Mary Kclasa, Mrs. lBrmadale), 7:30. Rookies Kingfishers (Iverson, Re:nnld Redling) vs. Seagulls (Hagerup, H"1- land, Carmichael), 8:30. Ringers Treetoads (Hermann, Eliott K ¢ el) vs. Prairie Dogs (Ra dale, A. Henning), 9:30.
