Los Angeles, Jan. 3l-(UP)-Put- ting the sport shot here and there: Kayak II doesn't know thing about it, and probably wouldn't care if he did, but he is going to have to yield ot his stablemate, Seabisbuit, if the two of them come winging in front toward the finish line of the $100,00 Santa Anita handicap in March. Charles s. Howard, who owns both horses, has but one real ambi- tion in life and that is to have the Biscuit win the hundred grander and become the top money winning horse of all time. The jockey who rides Kayak II will have in- structions to start yelling "Whoal'' if the race develops into a battle between the South American beauty and the king of the castoffs. My guess is, however, that Bing CroSby's Don Mike will take it all, especially if the track happens to be muddy.

And you remember what happened to Dutch Meyer of T. c. U. and Harry Kipke lished stories on how to win foot of Michigan shortly after they pub- ball games.

At Pittsburgh the good doctor would have no part of the forward pass, his theory being that you had to hold on to that football to win. E. In a league where passing is 75 per cent of the offense he will have to join or else.
