Limited through a snow storm with
my teeth Horatio Alger, jr, never
wrote a story about a horse. But If
he had, I'll bet my new western
braWl against a fourth edition OF
Sink or Swim that ] could name
his hero.
There would be only one choice
Seabiscuit.
Alger would have loved the fat
rumped Howard hurricane, for the
story of Seabiscuit is a rags to
riches tale in the raw. The Biscuit
had everything in common with
the Alger characters. He came up
the hard way, out of the ranks OF
the cast-offs, to humble the blue
bloods of his world.
He was hard luck horse and
every possible obstacle has always
been in his path. Had he been as
richly endowed as Jimmy Durante
or the neighborhood gossip, he would
now be the biggest money winner
ever bred. But he wasnt-so he isn't.
Twice he missed the $4,000 jackpot
of the Santa Anita handicap by
the margin of snubbed Irish nose
so he still lacks $4,000 of Sun
Beaus S376,744 mark.
Not until last year, however, did
one of those obstacles stop him.
Trying third time for the Santa
Anita, he snapped an ankle liga-
ment. Even the veterinarians
thought he was finished then and
they sent him into his stall for a
vacation that was expected to be-
come permanent retirement.
But now the Howard stable is
ready to roll the barrel-bodied one
out for a final golden gallop in the
sixth Santa Anita next March 2.
And had Alger been present in the
racing secretarys office when
weights were assigned for that race
he would have rubbed his hands
in satisfaction. One of his boys had
made good again.

There has been Knute Rockne OF
Notre Dame. Howard Jones of Sou
thern California, Pop Warner and
a host of other great football
coaches who have brought national
fame TO their respective universe
ties through the development of a
great football team.
Today there is a new name to
add to the increasing list OF COACH
ing greats. The name is of course
Major Bob Neyland, coach for the
Tennessee football team which will
play Howard Jones Southern Cal
ifornia Trojans in the Rose Bowl
on New Years Day.
Since the tall sun tanned army
major came out of West Point in
1926 he's been booting the Volun-
teers up the ladder to national
fame. and the bid to Pasadena this
year fulfilled his-and Tennessee
followers-dream of Is years stand

With his second consecutive un-
defeated season completed, Bob
Neyland can look back on a record
as pleasing as any coach could want.
After molding Tennessee from a
raw. unschooled squad into one of
the south's most polished machines.
Neyland left for army duty in the
canal zone. He was there in 1888
and 1884 and simultaneously the
Vols football fortunes crumbled
and the fans howled for the mas
ter's return to the helm.
He came back, then. and started
the uphill climb again.
Neyland had coached great teams
in 1929, 1880 and 1881 but each year
they failed to get the rich bowl bid
because their nemesis, Kentucky.
marred their otherwise unblemished
records by a defeat or tie.
He was even closer to the goal
last year, having steered his squad
through its first season of no de-

Chicago Drops
Football Program
After Poor Year

CHICAGO, Dec. %. (UP)-The
University of Chicago, one of the
original sponsors of the powerful
Big Ten athletic conference, bowed
out of intercollegiate football today
after the most futile season in its
AZ years of competition.
Extreme academic demands of the
famed institution caused a sharp
decline in football material Is years
ago and not once in that span could
the underpowered Maroons achieve
anything like their former great
ness which began in the gay 9Os
under the grand old man-Amos
Alonzo Stagg.
Withdrawal from intercollegiate
football may be Chicago's first move
toward abandoning its membership
in the conference.
A statement accompanying the
football announcement by the uni
versity board of trustees said:
The university trusts that its
withdrawal from intercollegiate
football will not require termina-
ton of its long and satisfactory
relationships with the other men,
bers of the intercollegiate confer
ence, known as the Big Ten"
1t was known, however, that uni
verslty officials have sounded out
other conference representatives on
what Chicagos status in the Big
Ten would be in the event it drop
ped football. The reaction was said
to be that if the Maroons dropped
a sport as important as football,
they should drop them all as far as
the conference was concerned.
AS early as 1923, pressure was
brought to bear on Chicago because
of its poor teams. Not since 1896,
when the Maroons defeated Wiscon-
sin by one point, have they scored
conference victory.

cause its goal line was uncrossed
and its schedule tougher.
The major this year has led his
team to better the enviable 1898
mark and like Duke. will meet the
Trojans with a perfect record.
In his l3 years at Tennessee
Bob Neyland has made the re-
markable average of .843 percent
l0S victories, y defeats and eight
ties.
Strangely enough Neyland play
ed during his collegiate days for
Texas Aggies, the team which has
been his closest rival for the Rose
Bowl game the past two seasons.
After attending the Texas school
he went 20 West Point and played
a bang-up game at end for the
Army.
He came to Tennessee in 1925 in
the dual role of assistant coach and
army major The following year he
was elevated to head coach and was
successful from the start.
They speak of the great seven
year period in Knoxville as though
referring to an important epoch of
history. In reality its Bob Ney-
lands record from 1926 when he
first ruled the Vols alone until
1882, a year before the beginning of
j decline in fortune.
During that period Tennessee's
Vols rolled over all opposition, lost
but two of their 68 games. They
scored 1858 points during those Sc
ven years while their opponents
could tally but 212-the exact num-
Der which the Vols rolled up this
one season in 10 games.
Neyland is a versatile coach, ca
pable of adapting his strategy to
the material at hand. His team
will pass if there is a good passer;
will run or kick if there is q player
who fills the role. All his teams
might not have been as smooth
working as the 1899 squad, but al
ways they have been aggressive with
sudden flashes of offensive bril-
lance that distinguishes football in
the south.

feiting, and Arnold E. Gantner, who

Todays Sports Parade

The secretary, Webb Everett, had
a truly tough task with those
weights. There was Challedon, 1899
"horse of the year., top money Win
ner and conqueror of everything
in the east. There was Kayak II,
winner of the Santa Anita last year
and the fastest horse ever exported
from South America. There were
Sun Lover, Specify, Whichcee, Can't
Wait, Dauber and many another
good one.
Finally there was the Biscuit.
Seven years old, knees wobbly and
ankles weak, Seabiscuit has been on
parole since February. He ran only
once all this year and his condition
is questionable. He may not even
come through his first hard drive
with his bones solid and his liga-
mentS intact But everyone knows
as long as he has four legs-crippled
or Sound-he'll be in there running.
That knowledge was enough for
Everett, and here is how he assigned
the weights:
Seabiscuit 100; Kayak II 129;
Challedon 1913.
No horse can carry more than 130
in the Santa Anita, SO Biscuit got
the works. Each extra pound of
lead means a length in a race a
mile and a quarter long, so top
weight was the greatest tribute any
racing secretary could pay any great
handicap horse. Kayak II and Chal-
ledon drew equal weight for age, but
the Biscuit ranked them a full
pound better.
Now the horse must carry his
load. He has handled 100 pounds
before and come home breezing.
But he is getting along in years as
horses go and although his first
workout was a good one there are
a heap more workouts ahead before
he ever reaches the silver gate for
his final run.
For an ordinary horse, it would
be asking too much. But like all
good Alger heroes, Seabiscuit may
have been down three timeS-he has
never been counted out.
