Cap Buzzy" says he spent most Of
his military career in preparing
Army cuisines. This, he explained,
led to his tinkering with various

After the war, when neither SOL

retired from business. Since then
he has been travelling in his "Won-

A few short years ago Glen Cum
ningham and several Of his con-
temporaries almost turned one of
these mile of the century" races
into mile in a century" race be-
cause each participant decided that
time could 60 hang and that VIC
tory was all that mattered AS a
result, none of them wanted to set
the pace. Each preferred to wait
and watch the other fellows. The
strategy turned the race into a
farce, and it was run in selling
platter time.
The third running of the Pimlico
Special yesterday was strongly rem
iniscent Of that event. Neither Ed
die Arcaro on Challedon nor George
Woolf on Kayak II wanted to set
the pace. Both riders were trying
to play waiting game, and the
fractional times for the race of

few moments it seemed that Chal-
ledon and Kayak II suddenly were
going to start running backward. so
anxious were their riders to let the
other take the lead.
True, the track was slow, but not
so slow that topf1ight horses couldn't
run furlongs In better than 1:163s
or mile better than 1:4O4s. Those
were the times these horses made.
Such times would indicate that the
track was approximately four Sec

on the card showed i. to be about
two seconds of. No, it wasn't the
track condition that made people
think the race was being run in

strategy employed by Arcaro and
Woolf.
Challedon's Start Surprises.
The big surprise of the race was
seeing Challedon. the slow starter,

the halfway point in the Navy's

in the Dartmouth contest, is i'm
proving more rapidly than was ex-
pected, and may be ready by the
Columbia game. November IL.
Werner and Lee are not seriously
hurt, while there is a fair chance
that Durette, who was severely in
jured in the Virginia game, may do
some playing in the last two tilts,
against Princeton and the Army.
Lou Mayo, Woods first UNDER
study, who did not see action against
Clemson, is doing his full work this
week. while Cliff Lenz and Wesley
Gebert, backs, and Tom McGrath,

George Washington Clemson:
With the Colonials suffering a let
down after the Georgetown game
Clemson, but, on the records, closer
than most people expect.
Georgetown-West Virginia: The
Hoyas to remain undefeated.
Catholic U.-Tulsa: Virtually q
tossup, with a leaning toward the
home team.
Maryland-Penn State: One for
the home team. Penn State.
Army-Notre Dame: The Irish
to squeeze out another victory.
Navy Pennsylvania: With Wood
back in shape, Navy.
Sees Upset Win for Gophers.
Cornell-Columbia: The Big Red,
without much trouble.
Yale-Dartmouth: Neither up to
par, but Dartmouth should win.
Temple-Pitt: Pitt to bounce back
after tough ball game.
Tennessee-L. S. u: The Vols
again should demonstrate they are
one of the greatest, If not the best,
team in the country.
Alabama Kentucky: 'Bama should
90 undefeated from now on.
Georgia Tech Duke: The Blue
Devils, despite the games being
played in Georgia.
Illinois Michigan: Easily the best
in the Big Ten, Michigan.
Minnesota Northwestern: My
four-star special-Minnesota in ar
upset.
Ohio State Indiana: The Buck
eyes still have too much razzle-
dazzle for Indiana despite their de-
feat last week.
Purdue-Iowa: With only Kinnick
to stop, Purdue.
Arkansas-Texas A. and M: AS the
class of the Southwest, the Texans.
Giants Due to Lose.
Southern Methodist S. NJ
u, in q hard battle.
Oregon State-Southern Califor-
MIA: Despite Oregon's spirit, the Tro-
jams have too many reserves to be
beaten.
Washington-M Montana: Easy for
the Huskies over a weak Montana
team.
And in the pro league:
Redskins-Eagles We never get
off easy against the Eagles, but
look for a victory.
Lions Giants: The Giants get
theirs at last. Detroit, partly be-
cause New York is overdue to lose
Bears-Packers: A good Green Bay
team over a superior Chicago eleven
not as well organized.
Dodgers-Ptrates: Not the place for
Pittsburgh to snap its long losing
streak.
Rams Cardinals: Cleveland, Il
Parker Halls in form.
