Princeton trimmed the Scarlet Indians a year ago, however, and the visitors figure to repeat again if they can play up to their regular form.

The Nassau ten nipped Navy, 7 to 6, last Saturday. The baseball team and the track squad also have action ahead of them this week, although not until later. Coach Chuck Ward's tossers will play the first of two games Friday, when Camp Kilmer's new team comes to Neilson Field. On Saturday afternoon the Queens nine, 9 to 5 winner over Lehigh last Saturday, will attempt to clinch at least a tie for the Middle Three title. Another triumph, this time over Lafayette at Easton, Pa, will assure the Scarlet of the standing, and a second victory in the return game here May 12 will oust the Leopards from a share in the lead.

The track squad, upset by Lehigh in the Middle Three championships at Bethlehem, Pa, last Saturday, will be back on the Taylor Stadium Field once more this Saturday for the Middle Atlantic State Collegiate Championships. Lehigh is favored, but may receive a great deal of trouble from Muhlenberg. Coach Bernie Wefers is working hard with his squad this week in the expectation that the Queensmen will do a great deal better than they did last Saturday. Whether or not Coach Fred Fitch will be able to point to a winning season for 1943 will be determined this afternoon at Neilson Field, when Rutgers will conclude its schedule against a strong Princeton ten at 3:30 p. m.

The Scarlet stickmen are currently holding a record of two wins and two losses, the defeats being absorbed in the first pair of outings this year. Stevens Tech, which wound up its season with seven straight victories, turned in the first winning performance over the Queensmen, and Maryland ran wild in a 15 to 0 spree. Then Rutgers rallied to swamp City College of New York, 21 to 5, getting 11 goals in the final period, and. came from behind here to turn back Lehigh, 8 to 3. Casey Stengel Now Contented By BILL KING BOSTON, May 5 Now that he is starting his third week in a hospital bed, Casey Stengel, the Boston Braves' broken legged manager, appears to have convinced his doctors and nurses that he is a contented patient.

Previously they feared force might be needed to detain him. "I guess I'll stay here as long as they want me," Stengel told his latest visitors, Coaches George Kelley and Bob Coleman, who have been running the club since that 52-year old manager was felled by an automobile on the eve of the National League's opening day. Stengel's improved spirits probably are misunderstood by the hospital's personnel. It is likely that they believe he finally has become accustomed to his strange surroundings. But what actually makes Stengel stay in a hospital bed endurable is the fact that his team, now resting comfortably in the first division with five wins and three losses, has outhit every opponent in every game by an 81-61 margin.

Never before, since he took over the Braves five seasons back, has Stengel had such consistent hitting, from the top to the bottom of his batting order. A year ago today, the Braves were in fourth place, with 11 wins and as many losses, but that was due to excellent pitching and a tight defense, rather than to the combined efforts of a team that, as a whole, is slugging at a .300 clip. "And I guess they'll be wanting me here for some time," Stengel continued. "The doctors say my leg is doing fine and the x-rays reveal it is improving every day. Why I've been led to STARTS FRIDAY! Freshman Hurler Wins For Jamesburg, 5 to 1 THE ROUT OF ROMMEL IN AFRICA BY THE BRITISH 8th BECOMES "A SENSATIONAL THRILLERI NEVER SUCH A CLOSE-UP OF ACTUAL FIGHTINGI BY ALL MEANS SEE IT!" -WoW WmM ELIZABETH, May 5.

Johnny Jones, the Pittsburgh welterweight sensation who lost his first light at Highland Park last week after 48 consecutive victories, will have his hands full at Scott Hall here tonight, where he" will meet Buddy Farrell. Farrell, former Golden Gloves champion who is known as "Peck's Bad Boy" in the ring, likes the rough and tumble style and Jones, who knows lots of Fritzie Zivic's tricks, may meet his equal in more ways than one. In a companion feature Verne Patterson of Chicago will meet Joe Bowman of New York, while Joe Carter of Rome, N. has a six-round date with Jackie Cohen of Belleville.

i 1 0K JAMESBURG, May 5. Freshman Ed Siglo took the mound for the first time in his high school athletic career yesterday afternoon and hurled a four-hitter to lead Jamesburg to a 5 to 1 victory over St. Mary's of South Amboy. Sigle, in checking the St. Mary's batsmen, fanned six and issued only one His teammates made six errors behind him, but he was never bothered and pitched his way out of every difficulty but one.

Jamesburg opened with two runs, enough to win the game, in the very first inning. Joe Lipari and Tom Averajis singled and, when Dick Weber rapped out the third straight hit, Lipari scored. Averajus took third on the bingle and came on in when Joe Ball forced Weber at second. In the third inning, with two out, Weber came up for his second sock at the ball and made it a good one. The long clout enabled him to tour the sacks for a home run and it was 3-0.

St. Mary's only counter came in the fourth when, with one out, Joe Locks rolled down the first base line. When Martin Berk fumbled the grounder, one man was on, until Joe Quintan lashed out "Greatest full-length war film ever made I N. Y. AUrroc v.

if II My There will be four six-rounders in the Masonic Hall ring tomorrow night, across the river, and that Highland Park fistic rendezvous will have much more to offer besides the big windup thriller pairing Saint Thomas of Father Divine's "Heaven" in New York nd Indian Floren of Oklahoma. In arranging this different show, calling for the largest number of sixes ever staged on one of his programs, Promoter Benny Rubin is going to give a much-deserved opportunity to local lad who has been impressing the ringsiders more each time he has trotted out at the sound of the opening bell. The youth is Jimmy Paul, and he's made such quick work of all his fourth-round rivals that Rubin is moving him higher on the card for the first time of his career. He'll be in there with a lad who has done a great deal of fighting against experienced ringsters, Frankie Bennett of Valley Stream, L. and if Jimmy can flash his wares in his usual style tomorrow night, he'll be in line for some really important offers on future programs.

New Jersey's light heavyweight champion, Jack Fowlkes of Elizabeth, has the semi-final six-rounder with Jimmy Gordon of New York. Fowlkes has now won 17 of his 19 professional fights, 16 of them by knockouts. The fourth of the sixes will send Tommy Mills of New York in the ring against Bobby Robinson of Philadelphia. This is one which pledges action from the first gong, and the lads are guaranteed to be fighters all the way through. Silicato Returns The one four-round prelimin ary is one which the fans will be eagerly awaiting, for it returns Benny Silicato, the Wilmington, Del, youngster who had such tough luck in his first showing here recently.

Silicato was far in the lead in his four-rounder against Les. Matthews, the Jamaica, British West Indies, aspirant. He had won the first two rounds and was leading in the third when both slipped and fell. Matthews landed on his back in the ring and was unhurt, but Silicato pitched through the ropes and hit his head on the floor of the aisle, knocking himself out cold. He was given a tremendous hand on his recovery, and Rubin was quick to give him another chance against Matthews.

Perth Amboy Wins on Track PERTH AMBOY, May 5. Coach Leon Klein's Perth Amboy track team had too much strength for Metuchen's entries here yesterday afternoon and the Panthers romped to a 55 to 35 victory over the Bulldogs. Pete Manger featured the Perth Amboy win by taking three first places, capturing the 100-yard dash in 10.5, annexing the 220-yard sprint with 25.1 figures, and then leaping 20 feet, one inch to pick up the laurels in the broad jump. Perth Amboy swept every track event except the one mile run, which was taken by Shurig of Metuchen from Charlie Stuber, local schoolboy. Shurig had been defeated by Jim Wolfe in the half mile, which the Perth Amboy runner won in 2:20.

Oscar Moore was first in the quarter mile, trailed by teammate Eddie Makevecki. The century was a 1-2-3 affair, with Manger being followed across the finish line by Tony Brown and Vince Noto. Another sweep came in the low hurdles, when Victor Diamond, Oscar Moore and Joe Hodge all beat the Metuchen entries. Metuchen took the high jump and all three places in the pole vault. Harry Morey, Charlie Stuber and Stretch Saratowicz shared a tie for second place for Perth Amboy in the high jump.

Saratowicz was third in the javelin, which Adolph Bigos won. Bigos, however, was defeated by Bent's 41-foot toss in the shot put. Bound Brook Defeats North Plainfield, 7-6 1(1 jf Preakness Has Only. 3 Starters BALTIMORE, May 5 VP). Two thousand dollars was going begging today for want of a horse to chase Caunt Fleet around Pimlico Race Track for the mile and one sixteenth of the Preakness Stakes.

Of course, there still isn't any gold-plated guarantee that Mrs. John D. Hertz's brown hurricane will take down the major share of the purse, but his effort in the Kentucky Derby was good enough to scare off all but two three-year-olds eligible for Maryland's most famous race. The $2,000, representing fourth place money in the second leg of the triple crown, found no takers three days from the time the colts will take the track in the run for the black-eyed Susans and a lot of cold cash. One racer, W.

E. Boeing's Slide Rule, remained in the Preakness picture, but final decision as to whether he will start will not be made until tomorrow. Besides the Count, the probable starters now include only Blue Swords, Allen T. Simmons' color bearer which came home second in Derby, and W. L.

Brann's Vin-centive, which passed up the Churchill Downs shindig to point for Preakness. One other candidate, H. L. Straus' New Moon, was virtually eliminated yesterday when he failed to do better than second in the Curvivor Stakes, final public tuneup for Saturday's big money run. New Moon had been regarded as a certain starter if he won the mile and a sixteenth survivor, but he wound up three and a half lengths back of the Glen Riddle Farm's Strategic, which isn't eligible for Preakness, and thus was removed from the list of colts likely to parade postward when the band strikes up "My My Maryland." Slide T.ule'was shipped to New York following his derby effort, and unless his handlers make a last-minute decision to ship him to Baltimore, Pimlico officials predicted, the field would include only three colts.

If Slide Rule declines the issue and no other racer joins the probable starting trio, fourth money of $2,000 will remain in the Maryland hockey Club till. In any event, the field appeared certain to be the smallest since 1889, when 1-30 shot Buddhist won the event by 10 lengths in a two-horse field. Smallest number of starters since that time was in 1939, when Brann's Challendon defeated five colts, including his Derby conqueror, Johnstown. ALAMO rOEDS. N.

The winning runs came a few minutes later. Oliver walked and went to third on Hipolit's safe bunt. Lebez was passed, loading the sacks, When Letso also walked Miranda, one run was forced in and Ed Trojanowski's roller to Wycoff sent in the winning tally. The box score: Bonni Brook ab. Hipolit.

Hit by pitcher: by Oliver (DePhillipo). Hindu Matman In Return Tiff NEWARK, May 5 Nanjo Singh, the Hindu wrestler, who had been campaigning in Canadian and Pacific coast rings for the past two years, requested, and received, another match with the Golden Terror on tomorrow right on the Laurel Garden mat. This time they will go to an unlimited distance with no holds barred. Singh was disqualified in a recent match with the Terror after more than a half hour of wHd tugging and tumbling. He had the boisterous and uncouth wrestling Terror in the clutches of his 'cobra death lock' when the referee disqualified him, much to the dislike of the crowd.

At the time, Singh was outside the ring, resting on the his legs wrapped tightly around the Terror's necks. The referee decided that since Singh did not comply with his 20-second warning to get inside the ring that he was subject to disqualification. Singh protested, the crowd did likewise and when Singh raised such a howl the promoters decided to give him another chance. The Singh-Terror match is a co-feature of the weekly four-man team wrestling tournament, which shows four men in the ring at all times. These matches are two out of three falls, which means Laurel Garden fans will see from four to five series of matches before the program ends in addition to the individual grudge match between Singh and the Terror.

believe that, one ot tnese aays, they'll even set it for me." Due to crowded conditions, Stengel is hospitalized in one of the rooms in St. Elizabeth's maternity section, quarters which inspired hundreds of hilarious telegrams from his sharp-witted baseball colleagues. When he arrived, he demanded that his fractures be set and placed in a cast so he could be off almost immediately to direct his team on crutches. But the Stengel fractures were much too complicated for that. His leg has been kept under weights and he now realizes that it will be some tune before his fibula and tibia bones can be set.

"Being an invalid is not such a bad life as long as the club keeps on hitting and winning," Casey confessed. "I do wish they'd rig me up a telephone to the Braves bench or get me an amplifier so I could yell those base-runners across the plate. But you can't make any noise in maternity sections." COWBOY TO QUIT AFTER 56 YEARS ALAMOSA, Colo. M5) After 56 years of riding horseback, Douglas Rentie, colorful Alamosa cowboy, has retired. "There isn't the riding and the roping there used to be," said the 65-year-old Rentie, who regrets the passing of the days of the open range, when a man could ride all the way to the Brazos and the Valecitos without opening a gate.

A five-run outburst in the fifth inning, largely achieved by upsetting Pete Latso, North Plain-field pitcher, by bunting enabled Bound Brook to break into the scoring, and the two winning counters were chased across the plate in the seventh inning. North Plainfield started the scoring in the third when Mill-water, who talMed three times, singled, advanced on Butrico's sacrifice and Martiz' infield out, and then trotted across on Mon-tro's double. The Canuck's went ahead 4-0 in the fifth, which Oliver opened by hitting DePhillipo with a pitched ball. Millwater forced him at second but the return throw to first hit the North Plainfield runner and he advanced to second.

Bu-trico was safe on Barch's error and Martiz walked, filling the bases. Millwater surprised everyone by stealing home. When Montros rapped a bounder back to the box, Oliver wheeled- to thtow to second, attempting a double play, but the toss arrived too late. The relay to first failed to arrive in time too, and both Bu-trico and Maritz scored. Bunt Bobbled Bound Brook finally broke through at Letso's expense in the lower half of the fifth.

Joe Cri-vello was safe on Wycoff's error and Joe Barch singled. When Peyton Crawley bunted, Letso could not handle it and it went for a hit, filling the bases. At this point Wycoff fumbled another grounder, sent toward first base by Oliver, and both Cri-vello and Barch scored. John Hip- Page 9 lecretary WEEKS DAILY HOME NEWS SPORTC NEW BRUNSWICK. N.
