Bryan Station, New
Bradley Colt,
May Be Real Find
BY JACK GUENTHER
UNITED Press Racing EditOr)

New York, Oct. 21.-(UP)-Out Of
the gloom and the heartbreak oil
his bitterest year rose old Edward
Riley Bradley today with a subtle
reminder that his last river hasn't
been crossed and warning that his
green and white hoops may roll or
to that fifth Kentucky Derby tri-
umph yet.
The banner of Idle Hour farm is
on the march again and Bimelech-
well, Bimelech had best be forgot
ten. This time the bright silk is
hitched to the rising star of an I'M
heralded young colt named Bryan
Station, and maybe this time the
80-year old colonel's number is due
to turn up.
Bryan Station is a youngster who
runs faster each time he runs far
ther. He is no Binelech, true, but
then neither were many of the
others. Rather he is more a
Brokers Tip or Burgoo King or Be
have Yourself, a youngster who
comes out of nowhere in the sun
set of the year. Until few days
ago he was an unknown: today
he's on that long, long road to
Churchill Downs.
Distance Horse
Last Tuesday the colonel sent
Bryan Station out for a race in
Maryland. 1t wasn't much of race
and Bryan Station wasn't much OF
horse, In six starts he had been
second once and third once but he
hadn't managed to win. The only
thing different about this race was
that it was scheduled, for a mile
and 10 yards; all the colts other
starts had been made in sprints.
Briefly, the young horse liked the
extra distance. Off smartly, he
whooped to the lead at the half
and stretched it's stride in the
straightaway to come breezing home
four full lengths in front. Satur-
day he went again, this time in a
stake-and this time the distance
was even longer, mile and 1-16,
which is as far as two year olds
are asked to travel. He went to the
top at the three-quarer pole and
ran away from his field in the
stretch to win by a length and a
quarter.
The victory was worth little more
than 5000 and boosted the horses
total earnings to mere $1,000 for
the season. But the time of the
race was las lis, equal to that
of Bimelech for the same distance
and proving that if coming events
really cast their shadows before
the newest of the Bradley "B's"
is colt we'll worth watching.

Boston College
Meets St. Anslem S;
New England Review
BY TOM NOONAN
UNITED Prehs Staff Correspondent


Boston, Oct. 21-UP)-A super
charged Boston College eleven that
has averaged 40 points game con-
tinued to pace the mythical New
England football league today with
four straight triumphs.
The Eagles in full-flight toward
bowl bid hooked their talons in
outclassed Idaho Saturday to chalk
up a 600 win and scored only five
fewer points than the combined to-
tai of the other five major colleges
from this area of the gridiron map.
With little st. Anselm's listed as
this weeks sacrifice, the prospect
was that Boston College would boost
its point total to the 200 circle.
Holy Cross and Brown, tied for
second place with three wins and
one loss, clash at Providence, r. L,
in a battle of slowly-improving
teams.
Dartmouth. seeking its first ma
jor triumph since early last season,
and Harvard, still attempting to
pass the 500 mark, meet at Cam
bridge.
Bad News
Yale comes smack against
Navy eleven that has won four
straight, and the Ellis will have to
show considerable improvement to
break the midshipmen's string.
Catch Frank Leahy used his first
string Boston College team only the
first seven minutes of each half, but
in that short space it registered four
touchdowns with resorting to a
single forward pass against an ID
aho club that has yet to score in
four starts.
Boston College scored its entire
60 points in the first three periods.
The entire squad saw action with
six players splitting nine touch
downs as the Eagles came within
one point of Boston College scor-
ing record.
Checked for nearly so minutes,
Harvard surged in the fourth per-
iod to score a touchdown that tied
Army, 6-6, and then came within a
yard of victory in the final seconds
of play.
Spurned Field Goal
A series of perfect passes by
Charlie Spreyer notched the equal
izer for the crimson and put the
ball on the army 1 with five sec
onds left A substitute was rushed
in to give Harvard a chance for one
more play, and the Crimson was
penalized for excessive time out.
with the ball on the Army 6 in
near-perfect position for a field
goal, Harvard tried another forward
which failed as the final gun sound
ed.
Defending Syreper's decision to
pass, Coatch Dick Harlow said the
percentage was in favor of a pass
the way our field-goal and extra
point kickers have been going"
Spreyer, himself, missed the fourth
period conversion. Army's tally was
scored on a brilliant 40-yard run by
Henry Mazur, Boston College trans
fer.
