Racing Ends
in New York
BY FRED HAYDEN

NEW YORK, Nov. s. R -
New York's regular racing sea-
son, which covered 100 days,
ended yesterday at Empire City.
Figures best prove that the sport
weather wartime and transport
tation troubles with flying col
ors, for records for big business
toppled like tenpins.
Beginning today, Belmont
Park will be the scene of an ex-
ira seven-day session for war re-
lief, followed by the two day
united hunts meet.
A total of $165, 1925 passed
through the tote machines over
the regular 180-day span for a
daily average of S920,723. At
tendance reached 1888, l46, av-
eraging 14,90S E day. The total
breakage was $1,000, O6097. The
total take" (ten per cent of the
betting and all the breakage),
which is split between the state
and the five tracks, amounted to
S17,863, 087.67, or 1891, 543.88 a
side.
These figures top all 1941
marks. There were five fewer
days of racing last year, so the
averages provide the only fair
comparison. Total betting in
peaceful l941 was $133,256,323
or $761 asa per day. Attendance
came to 2,53O,955, averaging A.
800. The breakage totaled ST.
01O,443.23 and the total take"
was S14,336,O75.53, or $7,l68,-
037.76 each for state and tracks.
That wartime wagering should
take such Jump over last season
was a surprise, and particularly
unexpected was the increased
patronage in the face of the gas
shortage and the ban on special
trains and buses. AS in other
parts of the country, New York
racegoers clearly indicated their
hope that the horse is here to
stay-and play.

CHICAGO, Nov. 5-(P)-Al-
though Ohio States Buckeyes
suffered their first Big Ten de-

to lead the conference in total

ing and passing, the Big Ten

Coach Ernest BucknOlZ dntlci-
pates a nip-and-tuck battle, and
announced he will stick to the
starting lineup that swamped
Monroe last week. The probable
only deviation from that lineup
may be the replacement of Vic
tor Potoroka at halfback by Lyle
Bliss, whose strong right arm
last week spanked a passing at
tack that had the Monroe visit
ors gaping like the spectators at
the first airplane flight. Potoro-
ka, however, who ranks as one
of the fastest coming players on
the squad, will see plenty of ac-
ton in the game, Buckholz said.
The ends will be held down
by Bob White and Ralph Sic
vert. Captain Charles Branyan
andand Bill Nicolai will take up
their positions at tackle, and
Harry Mial and Tom Breitmeyer
will hold down the guard posi-
tions. Herb Martell will be at
his regular center posts. In the
backfield, Bliss and Bruce BoSt-
wick start at the halfback posts,
Jim Smith will be in the quar-
terback slot, and John Sierens
is named to the fullback job.
The final game of the season
will provide the final 1912 look
at Bather material, but the out
standing gridders will be back
next year
Sophomore members of the
Bather squad are halfback Bruce
Bostwick, Herb Martell, center,
and Tom Breitmeyer, scrappy
guard. All of these players have
played outstanding football as
Bather regulars this year. High
school Juniors who fill the ranks
of this years squad are Lyle
Bliss, ace passing halfback, Vic
tor Potoroka, another fine back
field performer, and Bob White,
who is expected to set a high
mark for end performance next
year. Other juniors are Bill Mic
olaf, regular tackle, Calvin Pan
cuff, another tackle who has
seen much service this year, and
Chef Maikowski, who has served
this year with Martell, the reg
ular center.
Buckholz expects continued
improvement next year for full
back B o b Manning, a sopho-
more, who saw a good deal of
action this season.

like q sensible explanation for
all the grid upsets this season.
Herb claims that the mental

the incentive it needs to win
when its in q position to gain the
glory that goes with knocking
off Q favorite and that break"

outcome a lot more than most
people think. This year,

with sophomores and freshmen,

here this week.
He may be given the rare
chance to see Michigan's long

Paul GoVernall arose q few days
ago when an Army coach told
local scribes that Army consid-
cred Bertelli the best passer in
the country-far better than
Governali. He made out a good
case on Angeles ability to toss
them long or short and hit his
receivers, but Coach Lou Little
of Columbia took exception.
Pm not saying Bertelli isn't
the best" said Lou, but if he's
better than Governali I'd be
greatly surprised" Little also
has some figures to back up his
contention. In six games, Pitch
ing Paul has tried Ill passes
and completed Sc for sos av-
erage and total gain of 1924
yards. And he's done this with
line that doesn't afford him
much protection.
Bertelli, much better protect
ed, has gained only 621 yards on
40 compilations out of 86 at
tempted passes for a pitching
average of .465.
That isn't al the story, of
course, for Little adds that he
considers Governali a better
passer than Sid Luckman was
at the same stage of his career.
He compares him with Sammy
Baugh for poise and balance
and ability to toss while run
ming and without getting set.
Then, to-, there will be
another passer around Saturday
who might overshadow both.
louisiana States sophomore AL
vim Dark, who will be in there
against Fordham as long as his
injured knee will let him, is a
better than fair hand at pitching
a football. Dark is a real triple
threaten, but because of his in
jury he can't do much but pass
this week.
Off the records, such passers
as Georgia's frankie Sinkwich,
Ray Evans of Kansas, Tommy
Mont of Maryland and Glenn
Dobbs of Tulsa may be better
than any of these three, but the
local fans aren't including them
in the argument. None of those
fellows is scheduled to play
around here this season.
