Redskins and Giants Meet Same Stretch Opposition xcepno in One Game
Ole Miss Overdue
To Defeat Vundy
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
The time has come, the mentor
said. to talk of many things: Of
Vanderbilt, and passes, and the
chances Of . sinse.
And to Mentor Harry Mehre
of Mississippi the historical
chances of his Rebels getting
their fingers singed by Vandy
next Saturday were, and are
overwhelming.
In all the 1s games Ole Miss
has played with Vandy, vandy
has been the victor. The Com
modores amassed 566 points to
16 for the Rebels.
But this year, as Mentor Mehre
could well point out. the Vandys
have won but . single game and
the Rebels have lost but one.
The teams have had one COM
mon opponent. L. S. U. Ole Miss
beat them 14-7, Vandy lost 6-l2.

Washington Tackles
Eagles, New York
Plays Pirates
Fortune Seems to Fuvor
Tribe in Time Of Its
Clash With Lions
BY BILL DIsMER, Jr.

With just one exception the fate
of the Redskins and the Giants be-
fore their season-ending game at
the Polo Grounds on December ;
depends on the same opposition.
Each must play the western di-
vision leading Detroit Lions, Chi
cago Cardinals and Brooklyn Dodg-
ers. with the Giants meeting the
Pittsburgh Pirates instead of the
Philadelphia Eagles, next Sundays
opposition at Grifhth Stadium.
It's not altogether certain that
the Redskins have to win all of
their remaining games to regain
their Eastern championship It
would be, of course, If the Giants
captured all of theirs between now
and the first Sunday in December.
for only by four straight victories
matching the same number OF the
oretical wins by the Giants-would
the Redskins have q chance even
to tie for the sectional title.
But for every game that the Gil
ants lose df ever they loseD the
Redskins can lose another and still
tie the New Workers for the Eastern
title by beating them in the season
finale at the Polo Grounds on De-
cember 3.
Redskins Seem to Have Break.
Judging from previous games in
which the Eagles gave the Redskins
a real battle and the Pirates and
Dodgers came clos. to beating the
Giants, any of the Eastern clubs
still has a chance of upsetting
Washington or New York. But in
their joint meetings with the De-
troit Lions the Redskins seem to
have drawn a real advantage over
the Giants.
For the Giants must go to De-
troit to meet the Western division
leaders this Sunday, when they are
hot from whipping the Chicago
Bears, while the Redskins will en-
tertain the Lions at home on No
vember rs.
If perchance the Redskins and
Giants match victory for victory
and defeat for defeat down to the
final game and the Redskins then
beat the Giants, they will finish
the regular season in a tie, and
playof for the Eastern champion
ship will be required. Such would
be held on the Sunday following
the close Of the regular season. or
on December 10. In that event
the playof game between the East
ern and Western champions would
be postponed until December II.
Tie Would Bring Coin Flip.
But if there is a tie in the play
OH game the contestants are de-
clared co-champions, and a flip of
a coin decides which is to play the
College All-Stars in Chicago the
following summer and which is to
play in the all-star game at Dallas
There hasn't been tie playof game
since they were instituted in 1888.
incidentally, although this is the
year when the playof game is
scheduled to be played in the city
of the Western champion. it is not
altog gether certain that it will be
played in Green Bay or Milwaukee
If the Packers win. The rule states
that the choice OF a site shall alter
nate annually between the Eastern
and Western champions, but the
Packers could-with a view to
drawing larger crowd-shift the
game to another city.

Champion Speed in ChoIIedon,
Great Stretch Squirt Shows,
Despite His Sluggish Mile

length lead spectators were stunned.
1t was apparent right after the
bell rang that Woolf wanted none
OF that pace-setting business. In
stead of hustling his big Argentine
bred runner to the front he grabbed
a handful of reins, looked over at
Arcaro and held hard. Doubtlessly
this was what Silent Tom" Smith,
Kayaks trainer, had ordered. He
probably was thinking of Kayaks
last race, the Continental Handicap
at Jamaica, when his horse suddenly
had pulled himself up while two
lengths on top in the stretch and
almost lost the race when Hash
came charging along near the finish
For the first few strides OF so
Arcaro didn't know what to make
Of Woolf's tactics. He looked across
at his rival as If to say: We'll, go
on, you're supposed to set the pace"
However, when Woolf continued to
hold his horse Eddie evidently got
fed up and decided to take matters
into his own hands. He let Chal-
ledon run. but not very fast, and he
still had a good grip on the favorite
going around the clubhouse turn.
Arcaro hadn't quite summed up the
surprising situation. for he repeat
edly looked around at Woolf. in
viting him to take the lead. When
Woolf still refused Eddie took his
mount in hand and generally acted
like a Sunday driver.
Early Time Is Slow.
The time for the first half mile
was astonishingly slow-5l2s-and
at that rate a photo finish would
have required f1ashlight bulb, for
1t would have been dark before the
horses finished. However, after
continuing at that pace for a mile,
both horses started to burn up the
track, for the three-sixteenths of
mile duel through the stretch was
run in 1919 seconds-1ss seconds
faster than Seabiscuit ran the same
distance when he defeated War Ad-
miral last year on a fast track.
Challedon compares favorably
with Seabiscuit twofold, for while
his time for the mile yesterday was
a full four seconds slower than Sea-
biscuits, his final time was only
225 seconds slower. If proof is
needed to show how fast Challedon
was running through the home
stretch yesterday those figures
should be quite sufficient.
And just in case some of the die
hard experts still consider War Ad-
miral another Man O. War, let them
look up the figures that show Chal-
ledon ran the final hree-sixteenths
yesterday rs seconds faster than
the Admiral did when he won the
Preakness two years ago under a
hard drive-and on faster track.

The
SP0RTLIGHT
Pimlico Brings Back
Flavor Of Old Days
BY GRANTLAND RICE,


NEW YORK, Nov. 2 CN.ANA).-
The Pimlico Special, on q winner
take-all basis, recaptured some of
the older flavor of racing. It was
throw-back to time when an
owner was less exacting in his de-
mands and quicker to accept q
challenge-when q mans pride in
his horse outweighed his prudence
when he would send his horse
against any mans horse and take
all or nothing as the horses flashed
past the finish line.
The history of racing in this
country-which goes away back to
1665-is dotted with stirring match
or special races. Once these were
run in 4-mile heats, best two out
OF three. And then as the trend in
breeding was toward speed and away
from endurance, the heats were
abandoned and the races were short
ened.
Some Of the most famous Of
these races were held around New
York in that bright and glamorous
decade from 1885 to 1895. Those
were the days of Sheepshead Bay
and Gravesend and Morris Park and
Gutenberg, which was In New Jer-
sey. The stakes were not particu-
larry high but the owners-and the
public-wagered tremendous sums,
the horses were among the greatest
that ever faced a starter and the
Jockeys rank high on any all-time
list.

city, how well trained and prepared
it is to take place of prominence in

the large group, which showed in

3 Heard in Program
OF College of Music

The faculty program at the Wash
ington College of Music last evening
engaged the artistry of William
Holden and Fanny Roberts, pianists,
and John Hreachmack, flutist, in
works of old and new composers.
The opening Bach chorale prel-
udeS, "In Thee Is JOY" "Sleepers
Awake" and "Rejoice, Beloved
Christians" arranged by Busoni,
were in true dignity Of interpretive
style, as done by Mr.. Holden, their
complex though delicate tracery of
figuration in sensitive adjustment to
the rich harmonies.
Schubert's matchless gifts as
melodist and the promise of his
amazing genius, SO tragically si-
fenced by his early passing. were evi-
dent in marked degree in the poign-
ant Introduction and Variations
in E Minor. Op. 160,' written for
flute and piano. With a technical
facility of surprising degree, Mr.
Hreachmack made of the variations
a fascinating performance, compile
mented by Mrs. Roberts in the piano
part, which in truly musical fash
ion contributes Importantly to the
whole: melodic figuration, a dimin-
utive canon. a trivial little march
which the immortal Schubert made
wonderful with contrast in match
less passages Of lyric simplicity. Of
fered well-used opportunities to the
artists.
The performance of the Stravin-
sky Concerto for Two Solo Pianos
was prefaced by a discriminating
presentation by Mr.. Holden of sa-
lient points of the composer varied
career, since to many this contem-
porary genius stands as one of the
great controversial figures in mod
ern music. whose works, including
this concerto which was written in
1885, have been widely praised and
attacked with equal extravaganza.
The serious and excellent per-
formance given by Mrs. Roberts
and Mr.. Holden had an authority
due. no doubt, to the painstaking
supervision of Nadia Boulanger.
