War Admiral, Biscuit

In Two Weeks
Vanderbilt PIuns Second
Clash on Final Doy
Of PimIico Meet
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Nov. War Ad-
miral, beaten by three lengths in a
match race with Seabiscuit yester-
day, may have another chance.
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, vice
president of the Maryland Jockey
Club, which staged the match race
said today he had started attempts
to arrange new contest.
If Vanderbilt's plans should be
carried through the Admiral and
Seabiscuit would meet on the final
day of the current Pimlico meeting
November Is.
Vanderbilt said Tom Smith, Sea-
biscuits trainer, had expressed will
ingness to meet the Riddle racer
again within two weeks.
Smith added the purse for such &
race, however, should be large
enough to give Seabiscuit chance
20 break Sun Beau's all time money
earning mark. The margin between
the horses winnings now is about
$4,000.
Seabiscuit's victory yesterday
brought his winnings to $40, 480
Sun Beau's record was $376,744.

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 2.-Sea-
biscuit, the hard-hitting little equine
warrior from the West, today stands
unchallenged as the king of the
American turf.
In as dramatic a battle as ever
was decided over Pimlico's ancient
turf, the 5-year-old star of Charles
S. Towards stable yesterday settled
his argument with Samuel D. Rid
dies War Admiral in a manner that
left no doubt as to which is the
better horse.
Not only did the Biscuit whip the
mighty Admiral by three lengths,
but he created a new track record
for mile and three siXteenths, and
left 10000 fans singing the praises
of the one-time selling platter which
Howard purchased two years ago
from the fashionable Wheatley
stable for $1,000.
Beats Pompoon's Record.
Under George Woolf's fine hand
ride, the son of Hardtack reeled off
the distance in 1865, one-fiifth of
a second faster than Pompoon's
track mark and four ifths of sec
ond under the time the Biscuit
himself ran the distance in estab-
fishing last fall what then was new
track standard.
The race, originally scheduled for
Belmont last June but Cancelled when
Seabiscuit failed to stand training,
was run just the opposite from what
most of the experts and laymen ex-
pected. They figured War Admiral
would 60 out in front and stay there
all the way and as the result made
the Riddle ace the 1-to-4 favorite
while holding Seabiscuit at slightly
better than to /.
But it was the Biscuit and not the
Admiral that was away in front. It
was Seabiscuit and not his Agar
old rival that set practically all the
pace and turned back every bid for
victory by his rival After trailing
by as much as two lengths for nearly
five-eighths of a mile, War Admiral
moved in and looked the Biscuit in
the eye. He stuck his nose in front,
and appeared headed for victory.
However, Seabiscuit refused to give
ground. He hung on like a leech,
took command again by the narrow
margin of nose to the mile post
and then bounded away while
Charley Kurtsinger punished the
Admiral with his whip in an effort to
catch the fast-stepping California
bay. Not once did Woolf raise his

sent the Biscuit soaring into a

money winners of the world, with
earnings of $40, 480. Ahead of him

by nose the turf's greatest prize,

cap, or today he would be far in

There will be no rest for either

Hoyos to Get Rousing
Reception From Fans
At BuckneII Game

Equally eager to get back on the
victory road again, both George
Washington and Catholic University
football squads will leave tomorrow
for Southern and Midwestern battle
scenes where, on Saturday, they
meet Clemson of South Carolina
and De Paul of Chicago, respectively.
Both squads will work out here
tomorrow before leaving, not taking
their final warm-up until the day
before the game.
Meanwhile, Georgetown student
body-prepared to turn out in full
force at Griffith Stadium Friday
night to welcome home an unde-
feated, united team after two hard
games away-was keeping it's fingers
crossed in memory of a jinx which
Bucknell has been to Hilltop teams
of the past.
On a comparative score basis,
there is no reason for believing that
Bucknell will prove to be anything
but Georgetown's sixth straight vic
tim. The Pennsylvanians were
slaughtered by Temple, 26-0, and
although Bucknell has won all of
its other games, Furman, Gettys-
burg, Penn State and Albright have
provided no suicide schedule.
Beat Hagerty's Team.
But just 13 years ago, another
Bucknell team came to Washington
to battle a G. U. eleven which, like
this years, was pointing for an
undefeated, united season. And a
field goal, from 80 yards out, beat
Georgetown, 80. The singular
aspect about the situation is that
Jack Hagerty, now the Hilltop coach,
was captain of that 1925 Georgetown
team.
The Hoyas were to get their first
peek at Bucknell plays today and
will spend the next three afternoons
in setting up defenses against them
and brushing up on couple of new
plays.
