Rounders Wins
By 6 Lengths
NEW ORLEANS, La. Feb. 4 (U. P.).—Valdina farm’s Rounders, decisive conqueror of Whirlaway in the Arlington handicap last summer, made his first start in four months yesterday and showed brilliant form in taking the Breaux Bridge purse at the Fair Grounds by six lengths. " The Irish-bred son of Colorado Kid galloped smoothly behind the early -pace of Porters Cap for a half mile and went to the front at the far turn. Jockey Ferrill Zufelt did little more than wave his whip in the stretch as Rounders steadily drew away. Moscow II was second by two and one-half lengths over Porters Cap
in fourth place. The winner was timed in 1:444-5 for a mile and one-sixteenth, only three-fifths of a second over the track record. A heavy favorite with a crowd of about 4500, Rounders paid $3.00 and $2.20. Moscow II was $2.60 to place. There was no show betting. Today’s performance qualified Rounders for the $10,000 New Orleans Handicap on Feb. 27 and possibly set the stage for a repetition of the Arlington handicap in which he gave Whirlaway a threelength licking.

State Scores 15th Straight
| NEW YORK, Feb. 4 (U. P), — Western Kentucky State’s basketball team scored its 15th straight victory by rolling over City College of New York, 69 to 49, in the opening game of a double-header at Madison Square Garden last night. Don Ray paced the Hilltoppers to victory with 20 points, while Everett Finestone led C. C. N, Y. with 12. ‘In scoring an easy triumph, the Kentuckians showed the polish and power that carried. them to the finals of the rational invitation tournament in the Garden last season. They pulled away to a 34-23 half-time edge and then poured it on in the stretch to win going away. Two other big guns in the Hilltopper win were Charley Labhart with 16 points and Oran McKinney with 12. 5
Bohsled Run Is Closed
ALBANY, N. Y,, Feb. 4 (U. P.)— The state conservation department, acting to conserve gasoline and tires, yesterday closed the Mt. Van Hoevenberg bobsled run at Lake Placid. The run was built in 1931 and was used for the 1932 olympic games. Later it was turned over to the conservation department which has beens given appropriations up to $12,000 annually for its operation. The 1942 legislature appropriated $6000 to maintain the run during the present season and Acting Commissioner John L. Halpin said all but $1800 would be saved by closing it. ® eo Girl for Kreevich SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Feb. 4 (U.
