Texans Get Mentor
They Couldn' Beat
Matty Bell Moves From Texas
Christian to Succeed Dana
X. Bible as Coach

Fort Worth. Tex, Jan. 18.-There's
an old saying down In Texas that the
thing to do If you can't beat some
body is to make EN- jfne you!
That Is what Texas A. and M. has
done with Matty Bell. They haven't
been able to beat Bells Texas Chris
tian University football team in four
years, so they have given him the
coaching job made vacant when Dana
x. Bible went away to Nebraska.
Bell, a youthful and handsome fell
low who learned his football at Centre
college with "Bo'' Mcmillan. Red
Roberts and those other famous stars,
has coached four Texas Christian
teams and each one either defeated
or tied the Texas Aggies.
The first time Bells team played
the Aggies. 1t won. In 1926. the
Aggies were tied. 1913. In 1927. with
the great Joel Hunt in harness, the
Aggies were tied again because Bell
had an All-America star in Rags
Mathews watching Hunt all after
noon. The 1928 game was q to 0
victory for Texas Christian.
OF course, all OF this was gripping
to A. and M. followers, and they saw
but one remedy to 1t all-make Bell
jine EN-!
When Bible announced hts depar-
ture. they lost no time in hiring Bell,
even though they had to bid high to
get this young man away from the
Fort Worth school.
Bell with mediocre and limited ma
terial at +. G. u, turned out some
Of the strongest teams In the south
west during recent years and the
alumni Of his new school, where all
the material and resources possible
for q winning team are placed ct the
disposal Of the football coach, expect
him to land the Aggies as high every
year as Dana x. Bible did.

REICH Count IS FIRST
YANK thoroughbred
ENTERED IN CLASSIC
25.Year Abstinence Broken BY
Entrance Of Mrs. John
hertz's Horse

Louisville, Jan. l7.-F)-Reigh
Counts trip to England marks the
first invasion Of an American thor
oughbred to enter the classics on the
flat in quarter Of a century.
While Billy Barton, an American
bred steeplechaser. was sent last fall
to train for the Grand National, In
which he finished second. no other
American bred horse has entered the
major races abroad since the Bel
monts, Whitneys and other famous
turfmen took their stables overseas
in 1912 and 1913.
Several Famous Racers
In the Belmont contingent were
several famous racers, including
Tracery. Fair Play and the great
sprinter Priscillian, but none were
good enough for an Ascot Gold Cup,
for which Reign Count will compete.
No American-bred has won an Eng
lish classic since Cap Bells took the
EPSON Oaks in 1901 in the colors Of
Foxhall Keene, w. c. Whitney won
tho EPSON Derby with valodyoyski
the same year, but the latter was q
foreign horse leased by the American
sportsman for the occasion.
In 1912 Sam Hildreth sent several
of his best racers abroad, but they
raced chiefly in France These stall
arts included Restigouche. Fitzherbert
and Novelty. but none succeeded In
winning any Of the coveted classics.
Many American turflnen have been
successful In late years in winning
the historic stakes Of both England
and France. but with foreign-bred
horses. The late w. H. Vanderbilt
for years led the winning owners Of
France. A. B. Macomber. who races
an extensive stable abroad, won both
the Cesarawitch and Cambridgestire
in 1925 with lis Forsett and Masked
Marvel. but these two horses were
bred in France, although both de-
scended from American ancestors.
Ogden Mills, .nder secretary OF the
United States treasury, was leading
winner in France this year.
Leased Sir Martin
In 1910 John e. Madden leased Sir
Martin and many track followers said
the colt was an apparent winner Of
the EPSON Derby before he fell ct
Tatenham Corner. Sir Martin later
won one or two Of the minor Eng
lish fixtures.
Stephen Sanford. Amsterdam, N.
Y, has been for years patron OF
racing In England and succeeded In
winning the Grand National 6teeple-
chase In 1928 with Sergeant Murphy,
an English-bred horse.
Strange to say, Reign Count, while
foaled in Virginia, has not drop Of
American thoroughbred blood in hia
veins. Both his sire and dam were
imported. from England, he being BY
Sun Reign (dead) from Contesstna
by Count Schomberg.
Bert Michel, trainer Of Reign
Count, learned his first lessons II
| training in England and is familiar
with the manner Of racing In thai
country. He has announced that hi
will not send the champion American
three-year -old after the Ascot Cole
Cup unless the horse Is perfectly fit
Michel took abroad with him fivl
tons Of American feed In order thai
his colt would not be bothered witt
digestive troubles.
