ÐAILY POSf S American Sports Shorts by aThe Ace” BASKETBALL Camp Grant Illionis boasts of the vei'y best basketbell teams in the nation this year. They copped 21 out of their first 22 games, including a winning streak of exactly 20. Their point total has averaged better than 50 points per game and they own the distinction of being the or '\ team to trounce the terri- fic University of Illions “Whiz Kids” this season. Wyndol Gray (Bowling Green UD from Ohio) recently was held to 4 points by the Akron U. Zippers. Gray has attracted somé nation wide attention with his total of 457 points in 19 games, a mere average of 24 per contest. He is aiming for the record of 532 set by Toledo U’s Bob Gerber in 1941—42. SKIING. 400-foot jump is goal of ski king in U.S. 20 year old Art Delvin of Syracuse U. and Lake Placid maintains that a longer and steeper take-off will enable skiers to attain an 80-mile an hour speed which should be sufficent for a 400 foot leap. As it was, Delvin jumped 288 feet recently at Iron Mountain, Michigan, his mark only 1 foot behind Norway’s Torger Tokle. Devlin said he had been cloc- kea at 74 miles per hour at point of take-off in a Seattle, Washington meet. In all his car- eer, Art has only one injury from skiing—a broken wrist— although he has had his share of.dangerous spills. His compe- titive skiing will have to be postphoned for a while howe- ver—you quessed it—“He’s in the Army now”. BASEBALL Cleveland’s Prince Hal Tros- ky, out of basaball for a season and a half may hit the come- back trail this season, pending doctors’ approval of his migra- ine headache condition. If he returns, his duties no doubt will be picking daisies in the out- field as Les Fleming did well enough in 1942 to hold his job. Hal patrolled the outfield in the old Missouri Valley Loop, and his fielding should be satisfact- ory as long as he pulls those long drives over and up against the firght field fence with some degree of regularity. Detroit with a capable new manager, Steve O’Neill, at the helm may be dangerous in the 1943 A. L. roll. York, Blood- worth, Higgins, Cromer, Rad- cliff, Parsons, Bridges, Trout, White, Fire Trucks, Gorsica, Ross and others need no in- troduction and if Diek Wake- field, the $50,000 beauty from University of Michigan, and Joe (not to be confured with J. Edger Hoover) come through the Tigers may go a long way in the right direction. Hoover is the veteran shortstop recent- ly obtained from Hollywood in the Pacific Coast League. KOCKEY Gordie Bell, sensational young net-mender for the Buffalo Bisons in the American Hockey League has turned in 8 Shutouts already for his second place club. TENNIS Helen Jacobs, former Wo- men’s Tennis Champion now is an Officer Candidate in the WAVES at Smith College. She won 8 national titles in 4 years including cups in singles, mixed doubles and doubles competi- tion. BOWLING Bowling experts now contend that a 3 step delivery is too awkward for a bowler and urge that beginners develop a 4 or 5 step delivery. They also figure that the more steps a bowler takes the better he can stop short of the foul line as he releases the ball towards the old 1—3 pocket. Arnold Speaks Washington: — Commander' of the United States Army Air Force, Lt. Gen. H. H. Arnold, said that the repeated air at- tacks on the German submarine bases, is an important factor. Arnold said bombers roll out of American factories beyond the German’s air force rate. Allied bombers have already launched a terr.ific attack on the German submarine bases at St. Nazairc nd Lorient. Nurses Fly To Front New York. — Joseph Dris- coll, of the New York Herald Tribune in an advanced South Pacific base, said that the U.S. Army Nurses preparing to fly into Guadalcanal, in army tran- sports to remove wounded men to safe islands, are equipped with modern hospital equip- ment. He said the flying nurses in- clude many former American commercial airlines hostesses. All have been graduated from special United States training centers. The nurses arq enroute to many of the Allied bases. However the majority are de- stined to the African and Asia- tic fronts. Henry Wallace To Go To Sonth Anerica Washington. — Chilean Am- bassador Mitchels said he ex- pects Vice President Wallace to visit and study production in mining and agricultural areas in Chile during his trip to South America this month. A state- ment followed a conference be- tween Mitchels and Wallace during which the envoy said he discussed with Wallace South American Itinery.
