By the Associated Press.

By he Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, March 4-Hirsch
Jacobs has done it again.
The red-headed pigeon fancier,
famous for his ability to pick up
mediocre horses from cheap claiming
races, get them in top-flight condi-
ton and then send them out to score
victories they didn't have a chance
at before, has done just that again,
this time with Bull Reign.
OF course, the son Of Bull Dog
still is in the platter ranks. but where
he was running for $4,000 when
Jacobs picked him up two weeks ago,
now he is showing his heels to high
class $4,000 selling horses. That was
the claiming price on him yesterday
when he won the feature of the
days card at Fair Grounds, marking
his second straight victory under
Jacobs salmon pink and emerald
silks.
And as Jacobs keeps stepping him
up into more select company. there's
no telling how far he Il 60 That was
Hirsch's way with Marriage. He
picked that oat-burner up for 81 400,
got him into such fit shape that he
won eight straight races a year ago,
and. after Jacobs sold him, he con-
tnued on to score notable stake VIC
tories. such as his triumph in the
$25 900 New Orleans Handicap last

I'D consider an ideal football
schedule as one consisting of, say,
six Southern Conference games, in
cluding one with Maryland. Toss in
a game with Georgetown, another
with Kentucky and add Virginia and
we'd have the sort of schedule I'd
like to arrange. We don't aim to
set the world on fire but I would like
us to build up to the point where
we could do all right with that type
of schedule.
