It paid off Saturday for Anita King, the ox-silent screen : and two close friends, Mr.! star, and i s Mrs. Gus Luellwitz. Longden booted the 10-1 shot. Moonrush, home to victory in the $100,000 Santa Anita handicap over 18 others of the best still rac-f ing after an injury-ridden Santa Anita season. sj . f It was the third triumph for old Mr. Moneybags in the hundred grander. He won it astride jNoof last year and on Thumbs Up in 1945. j! This time, Longden; took Moon4 rush to the front early, and stayecj there except for a brief few stride! near the wire. ij j Many of the 83,000 spectators thought Moonrush was drifting out coming off the last turn. 1 But Longden said it was all plannedf He took his mount out where the) racing strip was faster. The track was no better than good after 4 week of showers, sleet, and a few? flakes of snow. ji j "I knew it was cut up on the rail," he said, ,4so I got out where it was firmer. . .,! . p 4 A. G. Vanderbilt'si filly, Nexi Move, on the other hand, went in4 side. And although j she caughi Moonrush near the sixteenth pole the latter went ahead again to win by a neck. Sudan was third. Time for the race was( 2:02 35. i Of his mount, Longden had this to say: ' f i I j "He's no Count Fleet, no Noor. But he's a game horse. It takes 4 stout horse to corns again like he did-. . i . j Trainer Willie Alvarado I gave Longden all the credltl "I toW hini to get out in front and ride this horse his own way,"! said Alvar ado. That wasn't too difficult since Moonrush Is a fast starter, j It was on Alvarado'l recommen dation that the Luellwitz and Miss King bought Moonrush for $10,500 from Louis B. Mayer at his 1943 dispersal sale. The $97,900 payoff $100,000 less $2,100 entry fees brought Moonrush's learnings to $269,680 In four years of racing'.' Mayor banked another $10,000 as a breeder's award out; of the han dioap. j" j Given Tourney - - in item or Iw Willi fanr AW his Waving their third straight Northwest conference pennant and the desire to take a jaunt to Kan sas City for a National tournament, Willamette university's Bearcats tonight ramble into the Oregon NAIB oondave at Portland, a two night playoff that will send its winner to the National Associa tion of Intercollegiate Basketball get-together at K-City. Coach Johnny Lewis Bearcats, by virtue of their deadlocking with Linfield for the conference crown, are to face the strong Portland U Pilots In the feature game tonight at approximately 9:18 o'clock.

This one starts at 7:30 o'clock. Both games are to be played in the Central Catholic high school gym &tPortland. Tonight's win ners advance to a final playoff Tuesday night at 9:15, and to night's losers play for third place at 7:30 Tuesday. The tourney champ gets the Kansas City jaunt. Needless to say, Coaoh "Mush" Torson's Pilots, who went east last year, are heavily favored to repeat. Starters for the Cats tonight will be Larry Smith, Doug Logue, Ted Loder, Lou Scrivens and Hugh Bellinger. Tor the Pilots, who beat Willamette by 11 points in a December game here, Ray Foleen, Andy Johnson, Million Harvest McGilvery, Jim Winters and "Easy Ed". Hummell will do the starting chores.

Scoring Title PHILADELPHIA, March 4-ff It's been a fcinch for some weeks that Bill Mlkvy would establish a new national j per-game scoring average but the Temple Univer sity ace hasn't; been happy. ! It wasn't until after last: night's phenomenal j , 73-polnt exhibition against "Wildes college at Wilkes Barre, Pa., Jthat the now famous "Owl without j a vowel" relaxed. What wk BiU's trouble? The six-foot-four - Palmerton, Pa youth was determined to not only break the record but do it with a better mark than the one held by Long : Island university's Sherman White before the latter was arrested and charged with ac cepting bribes to fix games in the recent court scandal, f "I don't want to be a cheese champion," Bill told his friends several weeks ago. "If I can't break the record with a better average than White's, I honestly don't want to break it at all." . When the' scandal broke, White had scored 664 point in 24 games for - a 27J7 per game . average. Mlkvy, who completed -his season last night, shattered the old record of 26.8 held! by Rhode j Island col lege's Arnie Calverley, byi finish ing his 25-game schedule with 731 points and la 29.3 average. Offi cials at Temple refused a month ago ? to add: to the original card so as to help Jyflkvy in -his quest for scoring honors.' 'Bill didn't need that kind of help; ' His astounding 73-point per formance of last night was a com bination of 32 field goals on 69 shots an excellent 46.3 shooting average and nine of 12 foul goals.
