THREE YEAR OLD CHAMPIONSHIP
 YET UNDECIDED
Dark Discovery Provides Upset of the Year Over
 AIsab and Shut Out

New York, oct. 22.-(UP)-Thl race for three-year old honors re. mained wide open today after Alsat and Shut Out, the turf's two lead. ing contenders, lost to Dark Discov. cry in the 5000 Gallant Fox han. dicap at Jamaica.
 The long-shot chestnut lilly, Dark Discovery, winner of but two races in 27 starts during the past two years, registered one of the major upsets of the season yesterday when she finished one lngth in front of little Sab and seven and one-hali lengths in front of fourth place Shut Out, who followed the show Horse, Marriage, under the wire.
 Dark Discovery, ridden by Walter Mehrtens, carried 100 pounds against 124 for Shut Out and Alsab. She covered the mile and five- eights in good time-two minutes, 4 4l-5 seconds--to earn $1l,3O0 for owner John A. Bell, Jr. The lilly returned $$37.sO, $8.90 and 40. Al- sab paid his packers $2.90 and $40 while R. A. Coward's Marriage yield- ed $3.90 for show.
 All Square
 Alsab, the $7OO bargain buy evened matters with Shut Out by beating the Kentucky Derby win. ner to the finish line. Shut Out defeated Little Sab my taking the Derby and the Belmont Stakes while Alsab had scored victory over Shut Out in the PreakneSs.
 Dark Discovery held second place behind marriage for a half mile be. fore taking command and opening a five-length lead. At the far turn Shut Out made his bid and for time 1t seemed that Mrs. Payne Witney's Derby winner, with Buddy Haas up, would come on with his accustomed stretch kick.
 But when the small field of six turned for home 1t was Alsab, with Carroll Herman handling the reins, who made the challenge. However, Bierman had waited to olong and Dark Discovery's lead was too great to overcome.

 New York, october g. = (UPl = Dark discovery's victory in @ "stolen race" will be remembered for years by turf followers of the nation = long after the excuses for Alsab and Shut Out are forgotten.
 They call Dark Discovery's vic- tory stolen" because this long shot chestnut lilly registered one of the racing seasons major upsets by winning the Gallant Fox handicap, closing feature of the program at Jamaica. She won 1t while the Alsab and Shut Out jockeys were watching each other.
 This victory by an outside four year-old lilly leaves the race for three-year- honors wide open Alsab came in second in the field of six tlloroughbreds, and Shut Out finished fourth. Tn other words, the official ending of that mile and five-eighths contest placed the horses as follows: Dark Discovery, Alsab, Marriage, Shut Out, Bowling 0kOAG AAk0 6&uA
 Big Loss
 Thousands of dollars were lost on the Gallant Fox handicap by bettors who were positive that Alsab or Shut Out would win.
 They favored Alsab because that bay colt owned by Mrs. Al Sabath had beaten Shut Out once and had triumphed twice over Whirlaway, mighty -year-old. Meanwhile, there was robust support for Shut Out who had beaten Alsab in the Kentucky Derby, while losing in the Preakness. Yesterdays result left the score at two victories and two losses each for Alsab and Shut Out, in their race for three-year-old honors.
 It appears now that Alsab and Shut Out may meet in 8 rubber" match in the Pimlico special, Oc- tober 2s, or both may tangle with the great Whirlaway in the Victory Sweepstakes at Belmont Park, Mo- vember II
 If Alsab and Shut Out keep either of these engagements, let's ho. ! their jockeys appreciate the fact that other horses are in the running. Had Carroll Bierman on Alsab and Buddy Haas on Shut Out realized this yes- terday, the finish of the $15,000 Gallant Fox handicap might have been an entirely different story.
 Dark Discovery moved into a five-length lead at the mile pole, while Bierman was watching Haas, and by the time Herman and Alsab were ready to make their bid, they were too far behind to catch up with the daughter of Discovery and Dark Loveiiness.

 Duquesne, formerly Holy Ghost College, has an enrolment of 274l.
 The Dukes won the smiles of the local cogniscenti by playing smart, aggressive and winning football Donelli football. CRISS.CROSS EFFECT
 PROMOTES DECEPTION
 A tireless worker, Donelli Is a stickler for detail. He has g flair for deception which revolves around hiding the ball through criss-cross- ing.
 He blends the Rockne into a variation of the T. His man-in- motion rarely runs wide. He is not a tanker. Generally, the right or left halfback is moving by the full back when the ball is snapped. This gives criss-cross effect and pro- notes deception.
 The Dukes play their games at Forbes Field, which has a seating capacity of 32,000. They draw up- wards of 10000 against such worthy opponents as Marquette, North Carolina, Detroit, South Carolina, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Saint Mary's Villanova, Holy Cross and Kansas State.
 Pittsburgh, casting coy glances at the hard-to-get Western Conference Topped Duquesne off its schedule, despite the fact that the game drew 60,000 persons into Pitt Stadium. The Partners severed relations after taking a 2l-13 beating in 1889. Car negie Tech broke of hostilities after losing in '39 and 40.

Ohio Boy Is StandOut Player From All Over
 U. s. at This Time
By TOMMY DIVINE United Press Staff CorrespOndent)


 Chicago, Oct. 22.-(UP)-Frankie Sinkwich of the University of Georgia, a youngster who has had more difficulty in acquiring a south ern accent than in threading his way through the lines of opposing Dixie football teams, today stood out as the nations top individual offensive performer.
 The latest compilations of the American football statistical bureau showed Sinkwich hopping into the lead in total offense. He was third week ago behind Paul Governali of Columbia and Dick Fisher of the Iowa Naval Cadets.
 Sinkwich, product of Youngs- town, O., had field day at the ex- penSe of Tulane last Saturday as Georgia rolled to 40 to 0 triumph. Sinkwich handled the ball 9 times against Tulane. He picked up 70 yards running and 183 yards on passes to boost his seasons total to 807 yards for five games. Governali now is second with an aggregate of 790 yards in four con. tests. Bob Ruman of Arizona climbed from 20th place to third in the listing as he piled up i65 yards against Oklahoma A. & M. to make his total 773 yards.
 Also "GOod'
 Rounding out the top ten" in individual total ffense are Fisher, Bob Steuber of Missouri, Otto Gra- ham of Northwestern, Steve Filipo- wicz of Fordham, Ray Evans of Phil Cutchin of Kentucky. What a keyman Sinkwich Is to the unbeaten Bulldogs is indicated by the fact he's been the ball carrier or passer 135 times out of the 322 plays Georgia has run from scrirn- mage.
 Hank Margarita of Brown leads in individual rushing with 529 net yards in his 75 ball carrying efforts. Humans is second, Steuber third, Don Griffin of Illinois fourth and Elroy Hirsch of Wisconsin fifth.
 Ray Evans, the doughty halfback of the University of Kansas team that has scored only one touch- down while losing five consecutive games, retained his lead among the passers. He completed six aerials in 9 losses against Oklahoma to bring his total for the season to 54 compilations in 123 efforts. Cover mali is second. Grahas third, Sink wich fourth and Lee Daniels of Texas A. & M. fifth.
 Cullen Rogers of Texas is the top pass receiver with IT catches in four games for a gain of POS yards. Otto Schnellbacker of Kansas is and Gorham Getchell of Temple is the runner-up with IS receptions third with IS.
 Vol Best Kicker
 Bobby Offers of Tennessee, with a 46-8 yards average, is the top punter. Tom Douglas of Dartmouth is the runnerup with 444 yards.
 In team rankings, Ohio State con- tinues to set the offensive pace with an average of 43i.3 yards per game. Georgia Is second. Tulsa third, Missouri fourth and Texas fifth.
 Tulsa is the leading defensive team. its four opponents having averaged only 67.5 yards per game. Columbia leads in forward passing with an average gain of 2l7.8 yards ,nAN aaVknek

With Matisi and other capable operatives clearing for Joe Goode, Max Kielbasa and Forrest Hall, the Dukes can move by land. Sophomore Hall, only 5-feet B. inches, 15O pounds, Is lightning fast scatback.
 There is nothing fancy about this Duquesne team. You won't find a trace of the broad "a."
 But when it comes to fearing such a fundamental football con cept as knock 'em- m-over-and rum by-'em,' they are unusually adept.
