WASHINGTON, Feb. z - The
diplomatic air is laden with
cracking rumors about Hitler or
ganizing about final surprise
drives in a sensational typical
gamble to win or lose this year.
Mentioned most are:
A campaign through the Near
East to meet and join with the
Japs in India TO rule that half
of the world; invasion Of England
the long delayed move through
Spain. or something mysteriously
new that no one outside Of Berlin
has considered yet.

team boosted it's second straight
victory today, gaining another
triumph at home last night when
it conquered Auto Club of De-
troit in a thrill-packed contest,
1886. The Flyers will shoot for
No. 3 at home next Wednesday,
entertaining Port Huron Junior
College.
Except during the early min
utes of the opening quarter,
when Selfridge ran up a 1873
lead, the game was closely con-
tested all the way. At no time,
however, did the Flyers trail,
always clinging to at least a
two-point lead.

him before the second quarter
was half finished.

reflecting the opinions of their
staffs, and so widely known
coaches and officials.
VOTING is CLOSE
In most cases the voting was
exceptionally close, but Sierad-
ski, 185-pound power runner
who is only II years old and
still growing, dominated this
years balloting just as Dick
Walterhouse was top man in
1941. Walterhouse now is a
prize freshman back at the Uni
versity of Michigan.
Nearly every selector who
saw Sieradski lead Muskegon to
an undefeated season called him
the best of the year. Other quail
flied observers ranked him as
the schools best fullback since
George (Mac) Bowles, a fabu-
lous figure of the early twenties,
and a more versatile performer
than Paul. Soper and Ira KEEP
ford, who made their marks at
Northwestern University.
Muskegon flattened every op-
ponent this year, except for a
tie with powerful Fenger High
of Chicago, and in the final i'm
portant game against its big
rival, Muskegon Heights, Sier-
adski drove for 1874 yards on the
ground and passed for 81 yards.

nine of IL extra points and
handled his teams punting as
signments.
RATE SPEER HIGH
His coach, John j. Middls-
worth, who developed Dick
Kieppe, Mervin Pregulman, Sid
Wagner and other noted players
at Lansing, rates Speer with the
best he has ever seen.
The only junior on the squad
(the others are seniors) is Loz-
Ter, who directed Jackson to the
five-A league championship.
Last year Jackson had an ALL
State back in Horace Smith, but
Lozier more than amply filled
the vacated assignment. He was
probably the greatest climax
runner with four touchdown
runs of go yards and one of 96
yards. Moreover, he possessed
an excellent passing record.

Six Wolverines

ANN ARBOR, Nov. 28-Mich-
igan, deprived by Ohio State last
week of Big Ten title honors,
was a slight favorite over Iowa
today despite the feeling that the
contest for the Wolverines was
definitely an anti-climax to the
long gridiron season. Iowa's
hopes were wrapped up wholly
in the passing arm of Tommy
Farmer, second best passer in
the conference to Otto Graham
of Northwestern.
Farmer was trump card in
deed considering the weaknesses
of the Michigan aerial defenses.
In four conference games Michi-
gan had permitted the amazing
ly high average of six in ten
losses to be completed by the
enemy. Precisely, the percentage
was $50 and no other team even
approached it.
BY winning, Iowa had the
chance to seize undisputed pos
session of third place behind
Ohio State and Wisconsin. A
Michigan victory promised to
give the Wolverines share Of
third with Illinois.
The two clubs entered the
game with similar records of six
victories and three defeats. Iowa
was beaten by Great Lakes, IL
linois and Minnesota, while
Michigan lost to the Iowa Sea-
hawks, Minnesota an Ohio State.
On the other hand, the Hawk
eyes alone were able to beat
Wisconsin.
Six Michigan Seniors were to
play their final games. They
were AL Wistert, George Ceit-
haml, Bob Kolesar, Elmer Ma
dar, Phil Sharpe and Rudy Sme-
ia.

goers firmly believe that a horse
which draws the outside post po-
sition has much less chance than
the one which draws the rail.
To dispel a good theory, it
does not make any difference
whether the runner starts from
the inside or outside.
During the 1912 season on
New York tracks, 200 thorough
breds won from the No. posi-
ton and 1913 from the outside.
1t also is theory of boss
players that putting blinkers on
a steed invariably improves the
animals form. Look what they
did for Seabiscuit, for example.

us the figures on the inside and
outside post positions, reports
that out of 47O horses permitted

years.
There were 1913 days of racing
in New York, the longest season
since 1907. There were 1923
races.
There were 14,473 overnight
entries. A lot of trainers chang
ed their minds, however, and
1858 were withdrawn. That left
12,115 starters, more than eight
to a heat, which is as good an
average as anywhere in the
country.
Twenty oat Burners were left
at the post. Thirteen of these
could not get out of the stall
gates because the doors of the
machine did not open.
Money wagered on these hors-
es was refunded. No refunds
were made in the cases of the
seven others because the start
ing machine functioned and the
fault was with the horses. And
the suckers who bet on them.
There were more than twice
as many dead heats this season
