Over Tall Swede
Chicago, March 19 U'i Swed
en's Guilder Hagg, although a bit
puzzled ny American Indoor track
methods, flatly predicted today he
would run the fastest Indoor mile
of the season Friday night in the
Knignts oi Columbus games at
Cleveland.
The long-legged Swedish run
ning chamu said he would run a
4:12-Uie or1 better Friday which
should give him his first victory
in four tries this season, whether
Jimmy Raffcrty of New York
runs or not.
Rafferty, a hard-running Irish
man with an explosive finishing
kick, has won seven malor mile
races this season, including three
victories over Hagg. After whip
ping tne swede in the Chicago re
lays' bankers mile Saturday night,
Rafferty said he probably would
not compete In the Cleveland meet
due to "business matters."
Hagg Disappointed
Hagg, disappointed that he
might not get a chance to gain re
venge against Rafferty Friday,
was pu.led about his loss to the
New York Irishman here Satur
day night.
"Nobody told me what lap lt
was," Hagg said. "I couldn't Judge
myself and it hurt my running."
He also remarked he couldn't un
derstand "somd of the things"
about American Indoor meets, but
he did not elaborate.

rific speed Is the big feature of
wartime . college basketball, ac
cording to coach Ray Meyer of
Depaui's fine team.
Since Pearl Harbor the game's
pace has been stepped up nation
ally until now even the most con
servative coaches have their
squads playing at racehorse clip,
Meyer said today during nn In
trevlew at the Paramount hotel.
. His Depaul Demons from Chi
cagorated by many experts as
the country s top college quintet
meet West Virginia's Mountain
eers tonight at Madison Square
garden in the quarter-finals of
the national invitation tourney.
De Paul is favored to win the
tourney.
Why 'this wartime speed A
reporter asked Meyer.
Meyer, a brown-haired chap of
medium build who looks young
and athletic enough to be a mem
ber of his own team, replied: A
waiving oi rne iresnman ruie
turned on the speed. When first
year men boys Just out of high
school are permitted to play on
college varsities, they try to make
up in speed what, they lack in
experience. Young players love
to run, anyway. The youngsters
turned on the speed; and they did
a good Job of it."
Have they kept up to pre-war
standards?
I helieve they have improved
the game generally by making it
more interesting for the specta
tors and for the players by the
injection of more seed and high
er scoring. The teams that are
good are exceptionally good; how
ever, there are not as many good
teams through the country as
there were before Pearl Harbor.
This is only natural. Many col
the availability of freshman play
ers; and other colleges suffer lm;
portant player losses each season
through the draff."
Has this stepping up of speed
in the college game reached its
peak?
Meyer said the peak had not
been reached; and it would not be
reached until the war ends and
the freshmen rule is put into
operation again by the big schools.
He explained, "high school coach
es everywhere are sjtfessing speed

Seattle J Wins

Seattle, Mareh 19 IP Coaches
of upstate high school basketball
teams today looked nostalgically
back to the years when they had
no Seattle entry to worry about
in state tournaments.
' For they let down their -guard
this year to allow one Seattle
team to participate and it was
the camel's nose under the tent.
Lincoln high school ran away
with the hardware.
The Rall-Splttters won the 21st
annual championship Saturday
night by defeating Bcllingham
50-38 before a turn-away crowd of
10,000 that brought the attendance
for the four-day classic to a record-breaking
40,211 more than
twice the 1944 patronage.
Bellingham took second place
and other teams finished in this
order: Everett, third; Hoquiam,
fourth; Lake Washington of Kirk
land, fifth; Snohomish, sixth;
South Kitsap, seventh; arid Long
view, eighth.
Lincoln Trails
After taking a comfortable 12-6
first quarter lead, Lincoln sud
denly found themselves behind,
22 20, at halftime as the game
Red Raiders outclassed the Seat
tle quintet most of the second
period. '
In the first four mintes of the
second half Bellingham racked
up a 26-20 lead before the Seattle
tltlists could catch their breath.
But the Red Raiders lost their
sterling guard, Jack Frazier, who
retired witn an injury.
At that point Lincoln turned on
the steam, coming back to take
a 36-31 lead as the, fourth quarter
opened. From then on, there was
little doubt of the issue as Bob
Peek and Sammy White poured
shots through the basket to keep
Lincoln comfortably ahead.

round, a sparkling 66.
Snead went out yesterday In
even par 36, but lmprovedon the
easier home stretch and had a
33 to keep pace with Nelson, who
went out In 33 and came back
the same way. i
