JOCKEY SANDE
PAYS s. A.
A CALL

Earl Sande, who rode Flying Ebony
to victory in the last Kentucky Derby
and who is considered the greatest
jockey on the turf today, slipped
through San Antonio unnoticed Mon
day on his way to attend the ap-
preaching racing season at Tia Juana,
Mexico.
He, with III. Il. Harrington, an
other jockey for the ]. Il. Widener
stables. came in from New Orleans
trains. Sande continued on to Tia
Juana on the first train, while Har-
rington stayed over to renew his
acquaiptance with several local sport
ing celebrities. He was stationed in
a local army training camp in the
early days of the war.
Harrington said that practically
every owner of promise is sending his
stable to the Tia Juana meet. They
all have their eye on the $4,000 Col
froth Handicap, aud that one psrticu-
lar event is due TO compare in class
Of entrants with the Kentucky Derby,
he said.
Among the horses Widener is send
ing TO Tia Juana are Haste, Alta
wood and Wilderness. Sande will ride
Haste in the big handicap, while Har-
rington will kick AltawOod.
Harrington, who rode Chief Uncas
to a dismal last in the 1925 Ken
lucky Derby, is certain that his team-
mate, Sande, is the greatest jockey on
earth.
"Why, when Chief Uncas and /
rounded the last quarter post in the
Derby, we We're just in time TO see
Sande and Flying Ebony pass the
judges stand" Harrington is one
Jockey who doesn't Drag.

SCHOOLS START DRILL
Several of the local high schools and

San Antonio Academy, already have
begun basket ball practice. Every
school in the city will have a team
in the running within the next sew

not be formed until after the Christ

Basket ball at Fort Sam Houston

with the various outfits fighting
among themselves for the purpose of
selecting battalion and regimental
teams. Play between the regimental

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The last few
football games in the East put deal
of emphasis on the guards, both in
the Syracuse-C Columbia game and the
clash between the Army and Navy.
they were conspicuous. either because
of their success or their failure.
Pease, the Columbia quarterback, at
tempted with all the skill at his com
mainland he has plenty of that--to
make his ground in the pinches
through the guard positions. He had
only a slight measure of success, for
Syracuse played the guards close,
which is fatal to that style OF at
tack. 80,
In the Army-Navy game. after the
gambling with the forward pass had
gone on for time, the Soldiers were
able to put on the pressure that event
ually won the game by throwing
Tiny" Hewitt over one of the guard
positions, and occasionally through the
center. '..t. .s
Hewitt, perhaps less praised by the
usual critics than any man who has
played football in recent years, was
really the. kingpin of the Army at
tack. He was helped materially by
the. design of the play and by Hard
ing, at quarterback, who was making
the little hop shift that let Hewitt
in the opposite direction across the
guard.

PULLED GUARDS OUT.

In the case of Columbia the men
of Morningside were unable to pull
the guards out Of position, and, in the
case of the Army, it proved to be posi-
BILE. Hewitt was carrying the ball
tighter than he ever did at Pittsburgh
and he was not participant in the
general epidemic of fumbling.
Most of the time Hewitt ran from
the middle positions in the backfield
lineup before the jump shift, and ar
rived on the line either as a ball car
rier or with a clear-out assignment.
In the course of the working out
of the Army attack the Soldiers ran
into one guard, Edwards by name,
who seemed to me to be playing just
as nice a guard as man in his posi-
ton could play.
The generalship these days is a diff
ficult thing to gauge.
1t was expected that the Sailors
would take to the forward pass as
easily as possible, End one of their
pass designs was & beauty. For a
time they had the Army wing back
pretty well puzzled, for the Navy cut
loose two men practically simultan-
eously in the territory he was sup
posed to guard before taking up the
individual and later playing the ball.
GOAL PROPER CAPER.
Hamilton. however, kicked his three
points on the fourth down, when op-
portunity offered, which l think was
the correct thing to do. 1t put the
burden of proof on Harding of the
Army, so that when Harding's oppor-
tunity turned up he was practically
compelled to go after touchdown.
Had he tried a field goal on his own
fourth down he would have had no
better than a tie, and he apparently
felt that. with a well-conditioned team
and Hewitt still in the background, he
needed lead.
As matter of fact, both quarter
backs were using daring generalship
throughout, willing to let the ball 20
on downs so long as 1t was fairly deep
in opponents territory.
There has been q vast amount of
argument about the use of that same
fourth down deep in opponents terri
tory, and the ayes seem to have it for
this season, at least. There has been
an ancient saying that "the best de-
Tense is the best offense." l think
many of this years game have shown
that it should be corrected to read
that 'the best offense is an aggres-
sive defense"
