Today's Sport Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent)

I ion, Henry Packard. The distance was 36 holes-tough on the ones who have lost the youthful spring from their legs--and Picard had the tre- mendous advantage of playing on his home course. But Lady Luck was in ,, the gallery, cheering for one of her favorites, and the square squire fired himself 68, five under par, to win one up.
 Today Sarazen meets Sam Snead, favorite in the pre-tournament bet ting. Snead was running around :n short pants when the name of Sara zen first rang round the world and today he has youth and strength on his side. But don't sell the square squire short, for a chorus out of the past is chanting encouragement to him.
 Listen, and you can hear it.
 The sizzling heat waves of Skokie are singing it. The white fog of Sandwich is murmuring it. The birds at Fresh Meadow are chirping it. The great winds of Canterbury are roaring it-- Come on, Gene!"

But New World Is Vanderbilt'S Best Since Discovery
By HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

Saratoga Springs, Aug. 30-Whirl. away and New World hook up again in the e46,OOO Hopeful Stakes as Old Saratogas 76th meeting comes to an end Aug. 31.
 It's the first time the 2-year-olds travel more than six furlongs, the distance being six and half, and most of the handicappers like Whirlaway's chances because of the extra half furlong.
 The Hopeful will go a long way toward deciding the juvenile cham pionship-still wide open-and the favorite for the big fall futurities.
 It was won by such distinguished runners as Sun Briar, Man 0 War, Pompey Norwich, Boojum and Ladysman. Regret, the only lilly ever to win the Kentucky Derby, came down in front in 1914.
 Whirlaway is a good Looking and temperamental chestnut colt by Blenheim II-Dustwhirl, she by Sweep. This sassy fellow was bred by Warren Wright on his Calumet Farm in Kentucky.

YALE HOPEFUL OF COMEBACK
 TO TOP FLIGHT
Uncertainty at Center Is Coach Ducky Ponds
 Chief Worry This Year
BY WILLIAM D. CLARK

United Press Stan Correspondent
 New Haven, Aug. 30.-(UP)- Yale football coaches figure that if they can develop good center, they can run through this seasons sched- ule and recapture the glamour that was Yale's before the big slump be- gan two years ago.
 Whether this hope can be real ized, however, will not be known definitely until after the squad be- gins its preseason workouts Sept. IS, and head coach Raymond w. (Ducky) Pond picks the teams that will wear the varsity jerseys the rest of the season. The important vacancy was cre- ated by the graduation in June of Capt. Bill Stack, and his number one replacement, Bill Starbuck. With two reliable men vanishing at once, and without leaving dependable substitutes, Pond dug deep into the upcoming frosh candidates to whip new candidate into shape. Three Out for Center Ted Turner, George Mosley and George Green appeared to have the stuff, and while Pond tentatively scheduled Turner to start at center during the practice sessions, he con- ceded that Mosley "may turn out to be the man we're looking for. He showed up well in spring practice"
 So far as the rest of the line and the backfield are concerned, Pond feels he has enough Grade A play CTS left over from year ago, and a good supply of subs, to make more than fair team.
 Ray Anderson, a dead-shot passer and receiver, comes back this sea- son after 8 years layoff due to in- eligibility over studies. Anderson probably will start at quarterback; with Hovey Seymour at left half; Capt. Harold Whiteman at right half, and Tom Potts at fullback. Potts is a newcomer from the frosh eleven.
 Along the line probably will be most of last years team-Bob Brooks at left tackle: Cape Bur- nam, left guard; Jim Dern, right guard; Bill Kemp, right tackle, and Joe zilly and Al Bartholomew on the Hanks.
 Reserves Are Promising
 Line reserves, except for the cen- ter position, appear to be plentiful, and the backfield substitutes in- clude some promising material.
 Among the backs are Bub Kieck- hefer, one of the squads best blockers; Ted Harrison as passing teammate for Anderson; Gordon Lindemann, a fast fullback who may be converted into tackle as re. placement for Brooks, and Webt Haynes, who showed flashes of ball carrying speed during spring try outs.
 For reasons economic, the squas vii ltrain at home this year in. stead of at Gales Ferry.
 This years schedule starts Oct. against Virginia, which meets Yale for the first time since 1916. Penn sylvania follows on Oct 12, at Phil adelphia; then Dartmouth, Oct. 19; Navy, Oct. 26; Brown, Nov. 2, and Cornell, Nov. gall at home. Prince ton will be played at Princeton, Nov 16, and Harvard comes to New Ha- ven Nov. g.

New York, Aug. 30-CUP)-Out of the long ago, with the weight of the years resting like a feather on his shoulders, steps the square squire of Connecticut to make lair out of whoever said they never come back. On the long, soggy course at Her. shey, Pa, where only eight are left of the six score who started in the PGA golf tournament, Gene Sara zen's name leads all the rest today. Win or lose in this tough tourna- ment, the chunky little gentleman farmer from Connecticut has come back.
 It has been a long, hard fight back from the days of his greatness in 1922--yes, 1922. The swift swing of the seasons makes us forget how long ago 1922 can be in the life of an athlete. That was the year that Lillian Russell died; the year dance bands were playing April Showers; the year that Gen. Billy Mitchell startled the world by flying an air plane PA miles an hour. And that was the year that the square squire- not so chunky in those days--won the United States open champion ship at Skokie on the fringe of Chi cago.
 Yes. they do come back, and the odd thing about Sarazen is that he has come back not once but twice. After he won the open in 1922 and the PGA in 1923, the lean years set in for him. He tried to copy other players swings and in so doing he lost his own. Nine years rolled by without a major golf victory for him. You saw his name in the headlines occasionally as the winner of a minor tournament. but the years began to cast a haze of obscurity around the square squire.
 Then it happened. He got his swing back in the groove and in 1892 he won the British open at Sand wich and the U. S. Open at Fresh Meadow with bowling mob tramp ling on his heels and cheering one of the great stretch drives ofgolf.
 One Good Year
 It looked like fate had cut out a pattern for the square squire--ten lean years and then a fat one--for after winning the PGA in 1883 he went into slump again. The first inkling that he was making the second comeback of his lifetime came to those of us who watched him swagger up the fairways at Canterbury, near Cleveland, this spring, knocking in butts from crazy distances and finally tying Lawson Little for the open title.
 The square squire lost to Little in the play-off, but his performance at Canterbury was warning signal of what has been happening at Her. shey. Out there, Gene has been doe ing 1t the hard way.
 He shot 0 pair of T4's to qualify for match play. and the luck of the draw sent him against Ray Man. grum. who was shooting hot golf, in the first round. The square squire won on tine iTth green and eli they asked him to do yesterday vas go out and beat the defending champ

Extra Half FurlOng Gives Stretch Runner |Whirlaway Edge In $45,O 1000 Hopeful
Saratoga Winner Likely Champion, Futurity Choice

stretch-burner by a length and Q half in the Grand Union Hotel Stakes at the Springs, Aug. "A.
 The time for the latter event, 1:l1, only three-flfths of second of the track mark, was the fastest of the meeting for three-quarters of Q mile.
 Whirlaway, with Johnny Long den up, was caught in close quar- ters in the stretch and Hy-Cop' re- peatedly interfered with him in the run down it. But Whirlaway got through in time to start his run at New World, which this time did not tire under Sonny Workman in the last sixteenth, as he did two weeks before, when Vanderbilt said he was short.
 A third colt which must be fig- ured in the Hopeful is Mrs. Parker Corning's Attention, a son of Equipoise which has turned in three victories in four efforts. Attention galloped away with the National Stallion Stakes in New York and the United States Hotel Stakes at the Spa, Aug. 3, when he shaved Whirlaway by a head.
 Whirlaway got away better than he usually does in the Grand Union Hotel.
 He closed rapidly after being practically left at the post in the United States Hotel.
 STANDOUTS CARRY EQUAL WEIGHT IN SMALL FIELD
 The Hopeful field will be small eight at the most. The three standouts each carry 122 pounds.
 Whirlaway conceded New World five pounds in the Grand Union Hotel.
 Other probables are W. E. Boe- ing's Twinkippy, J. w. Dials Hy- Cop, the Greentree Stables Mon- day Lunch, the Brookmeade Sta- ble's Mettlesome and John Hay Whitney's Seven Hills, which crash ed the winners circle the only time he went postward.
 Harry Payne Whitney's Boojum set the track and Hopeful record in 1929, when the son of John P. Grier carried IF pounds over the six and @ half furlongs in 1:17 Bimelech copped the plums 8 year ago.
 Whirlaway may have been re. tarded a little in the Grand Union Hotel, but New World kept gallop- ing along.
 Certainly, New World is Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt's finest since Discovery.
