SPORTS PARADE
By HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK, Nov, Is. UP)-I
was being strapped into the side
saddle for canter through the
park today when the groom, a chap
named Bride, showed an important
looking letter into my hand.
It was from the Turf and Sport
Digest of Baltimore, asking me to
vote on the selection of "the horse
of the year.. I could have given
my answer right there, but not
wishing to offend the horse I was
sitting on top Of I cut the thongs
that bound me to the saddle, and
hurried here to the office to cast
my ballot.
In very large letters on the vot-
ing slip for the outstanding horse
of the year I wrote JOHNSTOWN.
That's my choice, first, last and
always. You may have your Chal-
ledon, your Kayak The Twice, and
your Bimelech. I'll take William
WoodWard's big three year old who
brought the red hood of the Belair
stud rolling home in front in the
Kentucky derby and the Belmont
stakes.
He broke down during the sea-
son, sure, but what do you think
made him crack up? Nothing but
this: He was too fast for his own
good. There was so much speed,
so much drive, so much will to- run
in him. that his body couldn't stand
it. It's no secret that the big
fellow cracked seven-yes, seven
track records in his final workout
at Aqueduct before being shipped
to Chicago for the Arlington classic.
That workout must have finished
him, because he wasn't himself at
Chicago and he never ran another
race after that one. His breathing
became bad and his legs began to
show the wear and tear OF his
blistering jaunts.
But what running fool he was
before he broke down! Had you
seen him at Louisville, making every
pole a winning one in the Derby,
you'd vote the same as 1 have.
He was at his best that day, and,
given a fast track, which, after all,
is the kind races are supposed to
be run over, he made Challedon
look like something unhitched from
the chlidrens pony cart.
He could carry his weight and
speed over a distance of ground,
too. He proved that in the Belmont
when he went mile and half
and came past the judges with his
ears erect and his jockey holding
him back. Johnstown whipped Chal-
ledon twice-in the Derby and in
the Dwyer stakes at a mile and one
eighth. Challedon beat Big John
twice, at Arlington and in the
Preakness. But the big fellow was
ailing at Chicago and the mud was
fetlock deep for the Preakness.
The fact that he didn't last the
entire racing year should not be
held against him. It's the quality
of the races won, and not the
quantity. So Big John gets my
vote. Of course, Landon got it IN
1886 and you know what happened
TO him.

CONSIDERED Dy the DettorS, because
when the chips are on the line both
teams are at their best.
Brawley, riding the crest of sue
cess following a 1913 tie against
Holtville, is planning to knock Ell
Centro right out of the league race
with a brilliant passing attack, a
surprise running attack.
El Centre, crippled by the loss
of Max Zinn for the season, and
Jack Kirkpatrick for the Brawley
game, will have a fight to stay in
the pennant chase.
Zinn suffered a broken collar
bone in the CaleXico game last week
and Kirkpatrick suffered an in
jured ankle. kirkpatrick may be
ready for the Brawley game but
indications are that he will play
very little, if at all.
Ell Centro coaches Hanson and
Maxwell have shifted Glen Shu-
mard, halfback, to end to replace
zinn. Shumard, 135 pound young
ster, is a hustler, good tackler and
an excellent blocker He is expected
to prove an able successor to the
redoubtable Zinn.
Brawleys squad was reported in

Though the managing editor and ]
have had some disputes along that

ment from the football experts

So, today. we introduce you to

fan and proponent of southern

MILAN, which saws:
Tennessee. which now looks like
the best ball club in the country.
schedule or no schedule, is a prime
example of the futility OF trying to
please people in this modern foot
ball business.
Well coached by the best man in
the racket, Major Bob Neyland, the
Vols are undefeated, pointing to-
ward one of the big bowls-and
just now things look as if they will
have first choice-and yet, because
the schedule is nothing to write
home about, are being given an aw-
full panning in some quarters.
Had the Vols come up with a poor
team. the anvil chorus would have
been changing about the ears of Ma
jor Neyland.
Had the Vols produced a top
flight schedule, the reformers would
have been on the majors ears with
the complaint that the football was
making scholastic work a secondary
matter at Tennessee.
AS it is, Neyland has turned out
a poisonous ball club which has
gone through the opposition like
forest fire. But does Tennessee and
the Major escape criticism? Not by
a jugful. The anvil chorus rings
with the sarcastic refrain: "Oh,

However, for the life of me. the

get riled if the various bowl pickerS
passed them by to get at the ball
clubs that met football juggernautS
every Saturday. That is, If any OF
them escape defeat.
However, as things look today, the
Vols are going to eat their cake and
have it too. for the easy manner
in which they have waded through
the few pitfalls of their admittedly
weak schedule indicates they will
have more drawing power on New
Years day than any other team.
Thus Tennessee will probably get
as far with their spotty schedule
as other teams will with far harder
ones.
If that doesn't entitle Major Ney-
land, or whoever made up that sche-
dule, to a seat with the smart boys
of college football, I'll eat your
shoulder pads.
Ramsey Comments
Accompanying the letter RAM
sey enclosed these comments:
One might say that Mcmillan is
doing his best to defend one of the
hottest clubs in Dixie. but there is
lot of truth in what he says. Foot
ball, in many conferences, is more
than a sport-it is a big business,
and in some cases borders on
racketeering. Such being the case,
I see no objection to a school play
ing her chips in a manner sched-
uled to wangle a bid from one of
the leading bowl games.
1t will be interesting to observe
how much longer top-flight college
football players will be willing to
be banged around from September
lst to Jan 1st to play to a s350,0OO
gate without some cf the gold to
help perpetuate the glory.
Last year most of the fans, Of
ficials. and coaches who saw both
Tennessee and Duke play thought
that the Volunteers were much
better football club. Recalling the
poor luck Wallace Wade's Alabama
and Duke teams have had against
Tennessee it is understandable why
Tennessee has been off Dukes
schedule the last two years.
I am one of the few fans who
must be convinced that Southern
California has a great team. The
Trojans are strong in numbers and
reserve strength and if it happens
that Tennessee and U. S. c. meet
in the Rose Bowl I have an idea
that Jones will need all of his quar-
terbacks, etc. The Volunteers block
and tackle for keeps and it should
be a whale of a game.

Texas Aggies Doomed for Rose Bowl
HACKERS CLAIM
A&M STRONGER
THAN TENNESSEE

DALLAS. Nov. Is. (UP)-Appar-
emily only one man in Texas escap-
ed the sweep of Rose Bowl fever
across the state last week, and he
was Homer Norton. coach of the
Texas Aggies, the football club be-
ing doomed in the southwest for
the Pasadena New Years day eX-
travaganZa.
From the Panhandle to the Gulf
of Mexico, from FL PaSo to the
Louisiana border, thousands OF fans
this year picked up the cry, THE
Aggies for the Rose Bowl, after
Norton's club cleared its last major
obstacle Southern MethodiSt-from
perfect record season last week.
Norton, a sober thinking football
veteran who attributes the AggieS
success to their almost perfect
play execution" refuses to listen
to any and all Bowl game talk,
even though his boys play like
angels.
Nortons pessimism, however. did
nothing to discourage the Texas
tub thumpers. The Aggies are rated
second to Tennessee nationally, and
therefore second in line for the prize
Bowl invitations. But Texans con-
cede Tennessee nothing. They point
out that the Aggies have beaten
good club from the Far West, Santa
Clara; a good team from the east,
Villanova; two intersectional neigh
bors, Centenary and Oklahoma A.
and M; and four of the southwest
conference tough guys, SMU, TCU,
Baylor and Arkansas.
A and NJ fans deride Tennessee's
schedule. They admit Major Bob
Neyland's Vols are good, but no
better, and maybe not so good as
the Aggies.
