Illinois over Minnesota or Purdue
over Northwestern. But that's
the way it happened.

Race Officials
Make Tentative
Plans for 1913
BY LEWIS ii. WALTER

Will Detroit, which has just seen
its biggest turf season in history,
have horse racing again next
year?
Officials of the Detroit Racing
Association say the answer prob
ably lies wholly in the progress
of the war-but they are making
tentative plans for a meeting next
season.
General Manager Edward p.
Strong, Clarence Z. Lehr and their
associates are a bit reluctant TO
discuss next years plans. They say
nothing definite can be decided
until late in the winter-possibly
in February. But they are going
to plan on racing here until the
world comes the sport is definitely
Through.

WILL WORK ON TOTE

Mutuels Manager George Lewis
revealed that the totaliZator equip
ment is to remain here, that a
crew headed by chief electrician
Jack Stone is to work on improve
ments in the tote setup through
the winter.
That Detroit would welcome the
return of the sport is indicated by
the history-making attendance and
play during the 81 days of racing
this year. A total handle of APP
'proXimately $23,000.000 was regis
tered, of which $5,475, 134 was
poured through the machines dur
ing the 24-day fall meeting which
closed Saturday. The closing day
was the big day of the meeting
with a handle of 1888, 515, which
boosted the weeks play to ST. 49,
951. Paid attendance for the fall
injecting was 162, f85.
Permission for a meeting next
year would have TO be granted by
army authorities, who control the
Fair Grounds. and by the state
government. Both groups at pres.
ent appear to favor the sport

U-Boats Sink

AN EAST COAST PORT, Dec.

Axis submarines sent torpedoes
crashing into a British transport
off the West African coast last
September, killing an estimated
800 Italian war prisoners and
500 other persons for possibly
the great torpedo death toll in
Marine history, survivors said
today.
The ship was returning to
Britain from Egypt when it was
attacked by an Italian and five
German submarines, whose COM
manders apparently knew that
the prisoners were aboard.
One German captain told q

air power, grow to such
strength as b m b e r coursed
over Tunis for four hours, was
tipping the scales against the
Axis today in the battle of North
Africa as M arr h a Rommels
Libyan army retreated from the
Gulf of Sirte coast in central
Libya.
The pace of the British Eighth
Army's pursuit of Rommel was
not disclosed, but some esti-
mates placed British advanced
forces in Tripolitania beyond the
Marble Arch airfield, 40 miles
wesat of Ell Agheila.
Military observers were sur
prised at the weakness of the
Axis stand on the Ell Agheila
line.
FLEE WESTWARD
Axis forces are continuing
their retreat from the Ell Agheila
position while maintaining weak
rearguards which offer only
slight resistance" the Cairo
communique reported.
"They are hindering our ad-
vance by means of large mum.
bers of minefields which are be.
ing methodically cleared up by
our forward troops"
Observers in London said that
even after the defeat in Egypt
Rommel should have been able
to muster sufficient force for a
more spirited defense in the
favorable Ell Agheila area, some
of which, they added, still might
not have been cleared of all Axis
forces.
The Morocco radio in a broad.
cast of a dispatch purportedly
from Cairo, said that Rommels
forces numbered four German
divisions, including two armored
divisions.
On the long, waterless road OF
withdrawal, and at the Tunisian
supply ports at the other end OF
the North African front, British
and American planes were TAX
