URGE 8 HEAT PLAN
+. ON GRAND CIRCUIT
Expect Stewards to Adopt
Change at Session
Next Tuesday.

COLUMBUS. o.. Jan. 5.-Radical
changes in the methods Of conduct
ing Grand Circuit races will go into
effect next season if the stewards
who hold their annual meeting here
next Tuesday, Gan. 50, act favor
ably on a proposal of adopting a
three-heat plan instead of the three
in-five rule which has been the prac-
tice for years.
Several other measures that have
been thoroughly discussed since the
closing Of the 1917 racing season
also will come up for settlement
The three-heat plan probably Will
meet with strong opposition from
old guard" members of the organ
cation. The system has been in
force at North Randall course at
Cleveland for several years and its
sponsors believe its adoption would
be beneficial to the entire circuit.
Horsemen and owners back of the
movement say it will insure a spirit
ed hard-fought contest every heat
and will save their horses many
extra miles.
There probably will be a bitter
fight waged for the opening dates
of the 1918 season. William T..
Engleman, secretary of the Kala-
mazoo. Mich. driving club, desires
the opening, which. for the past
few years, has been awarded TO
North Randall. The fact that Kali
amazoo will apply for the inaugural
dates came as a surprise to horse
men as il was not generally believed
that any Michigan track would be
a member of the circuit next season
because of the 1917 fiascOs at De-
troit and Grand Rapids.
Favor Keeping EazO.
HCrsemen favor keeping Kalama-
zoo in the circuit, but there is sorae
question about granting the celery
city the opening date unless such
action can be taken and still allow
ample time for two meetings at
North Randall For two seasons
North Randall has twice entertain
ed the grand circuit flyers. and
horsemen have rated them as two of
the best meetings of each year. 1t
is probable that Kalamazoo will be
offered the second week of the sea
son with the opening going 10 North
Randall.
Toledo will be in line for the third
, week of the season. Work on the
new grand circuit plant there IS be-
ing pushed The foundation for the
grand stand has been laid and four
of the seven barns for housing the
speeders are finished Toledo pro-
poses to make its bow in the cir
cult an impressive one. The fnan-
cial condition of the new organiza-
ton has exceeded" expectations, the
capital stock having been Oversub-
Scribed.
The south is expected 10 make a
strong bid for early dates: Atlanta
wants the season to open there dur
ing the week of July 8 and then
have the caravan move on 10 Lex
ington. There have been reports
that Louisville, KY, and Readville,
Mass. will apply for dates.

BELIEVES WEST AS GOOD
IN FOOTBALL AS EAST

DETROIT. Mich, Jan. 5. - Gil
mOur s. Dobie, the famous football
coach who was in charge of the
team at the Annapolis naval acad-
envy last fall, had his first glimpse
at eastern football and was not very
much impressed. Dobie. of course,
took the war situation into con-
sideration. but was not converted to
the belief that eastern football IS
superior 10 the western brand
Dobie made a wonderful record
on the Pacific coast. his University
of Washington teams never being
beaten. Last summer he signed a
contract to coach the University of
Detroit eleven. He started TO work
with the squad then became dis
satisfied and left. His contract was
cancelled, and he accepted the po-
sition of coach at Annapolis. Dobie
has returned to Detroit to visit
friends
From what / saw in the east. ]
cannot say that the east is superior
10 the west at football" DObie saiG.
My last years University of Wash
ington team could easily have
beaten any eastern eleven this fall
Dobie declared that eastern col
leges made a sad mistake" by can
ceiling their 1917 football sched-
ules and said he expected a regular
season throughout the east next
autumn.
Many experts have given reasons
for Dobie's success as a coach. He
is a driving merciless teacher. He
grinds football into his men. He
forces them TO tackle low and hard
to charge same way, TO block fierce
ly and effectively and to everlasting
Is follow the ball When his men
have learned these rudiments to
Dobie's at least partial satisfaction
he teaches them team work and
plays. Then ne sends his team out
