Dean Of Churchill Downs Predicts This Years
Derby Will Be Greatest Of All
BY JACK GUENTHERN
United Press staff Correspondent

LOUISVILLE. Ky, April %
(UP).-A pair of piercing blue
eyes looked ahead today through
the dusty pail of gloom which has
slowly been settling over the
world of sports and they found no
reasons for misgivings. Col. Matt
Vim. the dean of the Downs, be-
lieves every cloud has silver lin
ing-and, maybe, sometimes even
a lining of gold.
He is a fabulous old gentleman,
the colonel. He is heading toward
81 and to say that his looks belle
his years is an understatement. He
has most of his teeth, some of his
hair and all the wisdom you'll ever
find in one head. He has something
else, too. He has undaunted faith
in what he says is the greatest
nation of all.
i paid a visit 10 Colonel Vim to-
day, his spacious box-overhanging
the chalk-stripe finish line of
Americas favorite race course,
and once again j was convinced
that here was my favorite sports
man and my favorite man. For the
colonel, who should be an advo-
cate Of yesterdays, is strictly a
man of tomorrows.
