NEW YORK, Dec. Is. eUP)-Golf
during 1910 was filled with thrills
and surprises as only one cham
pion, little Betty Jameson in the
women's national tournament, re-
tanned a title.
Old-Timers came back, records
were slashed, Lawson Little made

Snead showed the world he at last

the highlights.
The golfers of the year were Little,
national open champion; Byron Mel

amateur titleholder; Miss Jameson;
Ben Hogan, leading money winner
and most consistent golfer of the
campaign; and Gene Sarazen, who
came back to almost win the ma

HENRY McLEMORE-

ARCADIA, Cal, Dec. Is. (UP)-
A horse players wants are simple.
Just about all he asks is an honest
TO goodness run for his money.
That means a horse that is trying
a jockey that wants him to. When
you stop to think how much the
horse player spends each year
trying to get this, you would like
to feel that the tracks do all they
can to provide him with it.
The fact is, though, the tracks
don't. If all the money that has
been lost on horses that weren't
trying" were available to the gov
ernment, the United States not
only could build a navy for each
ocean, but one for each of the
Great Lakes, the Rogue, Brazos
and Chattahoochee rivers, and still
have enough ships left over to give
one to each congressman for a door
stop.
However, there is ray of sun
shine for the horse player. At the
Santa Anita track. at least. Through
It's energetic red tape-cutting
chairman, Jerry Giesler, the Cali
fornia Racing commission has noti-
fled the Santa officials, the owners
and trainers of horses stabbed there
Tor the meeting that opens Satur-
day, the jockeys. and all others
concerned, that from now on when
a horse is sent to the post he must
be sent but for one purpose-to win
the race.
There must be no more saddling
of unfit horses, Giesler has said.
If they have any of the 10000 and
l ailments that beset the thorough
bred they must keep in bed. or the
thing that a horse is silly enough
to accept as a bed.
The day of the "tightener" and
the "freshener" is out at Santa
Anita. This business of running a
horse in a race just to give him
the exercise and workout he needs
to condition him for a genuine ef-
fort the following Tuesday, is fin
lshed. Legally, anyway.
From the owners down, the word
has gone around that the commits
Imperial Valley press., 1940-12-25
Today's Sport Parade

sion intends to see to it that every
horse in every race is ridden out.
There will be no passing of the
buck. The owner is forbidden to tell
the trainer to take it easy on the
horse, the trainer is forbidden to
give instructions to the jockey, and
the jockey has been told he must
ignore such instructions if receiv-
ed. And the stewards-who will be
given an eye test by the commits
sion today-have been ordered to
detect and report transgressors-or
else. AS for the owners, trainers.
and jockeys, they have been told
that violation of the rule means a
one-Way ticket to somewhere else
Alfred GWynne Vanderbilt, mas
ter of Sycamore Farm. head of
Pimlico and Belmont tracks, ad-
vocated a similar rule several years
ago. But his suggestion was tabled
in the east. Vanderbilt maintained
that for the protection of the pub
lie, owners should be made to de-
clare their intentions. If they want
ed to exercise their horses in
race that was all right, provided
they let the customers in on the
news.
The new ruling at Santa Anita
will be tough one to enforce. No
one denies that. After all, a horse
can't talk and there is always the
chance that even the most honest
and competent trainer will con-
slider an ailing horse fit. And there
is no doubt but that the stewards
Willmake few mistakes, and that
occasionally the innocent will suf-
fer. But the rule is a sound one
and should be kept in the books.
1t can't help but put the check on
owners and trainers and jockeys
saving horse for a spot" when
the purse and odds, especially the
latter. are better.
IN short, its a rule calculated to
increase the honesty of racing, and
that's what racing can stand lot
of.

Two of Americas smaller e.

face each other in the Sun Bowl
football game at Ell Paso, Texas in
what might turn out to be the most
thrilling of the New Years day
bowl games.
These teams stress speed and
trickery-and the records show
they've been pretty successful with
that style of play.

Dayton in an eight-game schedule
this year. The Red Cats" have
been coached by big Bill" Edwards
since 1885 and lost only six games

they were unbeaten.

straight time and are unbeaten
over two seasons in that conference.

In the last two campaigns, the

one each year TO Hardin-S Simmons.
This will be Tempe's second trip
to FL Paso, having played a score
less tie with Catholic University in
the last one. This season, State
played 10 games, lost to Hardin
Simmons and tied with Texas
Mines and Gonzaga.
In order to get IN top shape,
Howell is drilling his team in prac-
tlce sessions against Nebraska,
which plays Stanford in the Rose

sessions until Dec. 27 or 90 after
which he'll take his squad to Ell

on Mudder's day.
For 10 days the clouds have been
sloshing distilled Pacific ocean all

bay, and the boys are getting wor-
ried.
The track itself is taking it we'll.
1t was carefully built and has DRAIN
ed nicely, and the floating action
of the rain will settle it for good
permanent cushion before the
horses have chance to kick the
bottom out OF it.
Hundreds of workmen have been
battling the rain to finish construc-
ton and painting on the triple
decker grandstand and other build
ings. Therell be some wet paint
and no-paint on opening day.
The mud has delayed the school,
ing of some so yearlings who be-
come tWo-year-olds on Jan. / and
begin their foolish little three-fur-
long bursts down thestraightaway.
Starter Eddie Thomas hasn't been
able to have the babies up to learn
their first lessons in the applied
science of not getting left at the
post.
BY Thursday night there will be
$50 head on the grounds, and per-
haps 1,l00 by opening day, with the
rest OF the l,400 stall Accommodations
filling in few days.
The racing strip has firm bot
tom despite the rain, and 40 or SO

Such is not always the case but

cheerful today.
In Calexico they were still cheer
ing the third straight football
championship the Bulldogs won in
valley league play and in FL Centro
the fortunes of grid wars were not
TO be scoffed at because Ell Centre
finished a strong second by over
coming several disadvantages.
Holtville and Brawley had little
TO cheer over but both looked for
ward to better seasons next year.
Imperial was not content but could
look back on a fairly successful
season considering the fact 1910 was
the Tigers first try at valley league
play in score of years.
The start of basketball found
Calipatria with more than usual to
celebrate because Santa Claus fa-
vored the Hornets with a strong
basketball team that can be con-
sidered league threat. Such is
also the case at Imperial

must be rated the favorites and
Brawley, despite the fact the Wild
cats were off TO bad start in prac-
tice genes, loom as a power. Any
improvement will bring happiness

Ell Centre was still without first
class playing floor for basketball
in the gymnasium, but there was,
something TO celebrate nonetheless,
becaugse school officials were look

to enlarge the present floor.
