So wasn't surprised when I found that the
horse didn't have enough speed to hold the lead.
Two riders shot by me. I thought the race was
over. But on the first turn both Of them swung
too wide. I came through on the inside and
went back into the lead. After that it was clear

New York. JunA N-The broth. erhood of the feotball mighty, weld- Cd on fresty aftsraoons in the roar1 Of packed stadia and the smashing play of grim, perspiring giants, can be just as spectacular and thrilling tn another way in the springtime.
 Three ysars ago. two husky young sters from New England moved in ea New York university with the sl1s. speed and ability to get . new standard of tackle play on tho hill- top of the rising Violets. One was Al Lassman. . towering six-foot- four mammoth from Cambridge. Masx The other was Leonard Grant, almost n biz and just as formidable. from Dedham. Mass.
 They were pals in prep school, in- separable companions in college. roommates. and successive cap tains of tho Violet varsity. ''LAss" led the 1923 team and Fish" Grant was unanimously chosen his successor. When Lassman broke an ankle in his junior year and couldn't defend his Intercollegiate boxing championship, Grant pulled on gloves for the first time. carefully absorbed his pals instructions and kept the title fin the family"
 Then disaster. and almost death. caught Lassman in the battle with Carnegie Tech last fall. Grant stayed as close as he could while his cap- tain lay in . coma for months from ! terrific head injury. Slowly Lass- man recovered. Last Saturday final desperate brain operation was per- formed to restore the functions of his left arm. But Friday. Grant was stricken with appendicitis and hur- riedly operated upon in another hos pital.
 Fish was recovering nicely until he heard of I.assman's operation. Yesterday he dropped into troubled sleep and awoke with temperature of 104.
 i've had terrible experience" he told the nurse as he tossed on his cot. ".Lass' is dead. I just saw him die. They couldn't save him. It was awful"
 OVCtOI8 IVu8ut wItA lhV AOSSA Ses l Grant was very i'll and rapidly get l ting worae. Yet just at that time Dr. Frederick Tilney. in charge of Lass- mans case. called the Associated Press to say that something of a medical miracle had happened to his patient.
 we are holding our breaths." pr. Tilney said. but the symptoms have disappeared from LaAman's arm. The operation seems to have done tho trick. Of course we can't be sure for another week, but it seems as though the big fellow has won out"
 Then Grants nurse called the As- sociated Press explained the situ- ation and asked if some reassuring couldn't be given the pa tient. He couldn't be convinced his dream wasn't true.
 4 personal visit, almost an hours persuasion, and tho taM. frightened look left Grants face.
 ''I guess I was wrong" hs said and relaxed tired out. He fell asleep and the temperature dropped. Both patients now are doing nicely.
