Suspend Jockey Gonzalez for Using Spanish
He Speaks al
Wrong Time
BY LEWIS ". WALTER

1ndiscreet use of the Spanish
language by jockey Robert o,
Gonzalez has resulted in the 26-
year-old rider from Puerto RIGA
getting a five day suspension from
the stewards of the Detroit track.
The stewards have no preju-
dices against Spanish, Eskimo or
any other language. indeed some,
of them are linguists themselves.
But they don't want even sign
language used by jockeys who are
coming out of the paddock on
their way to the post.
To indicate how they think
they are going to finish. or give
anything approaching a tip is a
violation of paddock rules.
Gonzalez, il seems. was coming
out on the filly, Doll Baby. for the
second race Saturday when he
looked down and spied his friend,
Gilberto Olivera, the Cub n
jockey. who was not riding that
day.
They're got me 10 beat"
said Gonzalez in Spanish, which
WIS translated into turf Eng
lish by bystanders acquainted
with Spanish as meaning. Bet
ter get down for a couple Of
bucks on my horse"

Posture 7 raining Poses
Hurdle for Hit the Deck
fought to Cory Selves Well;
Performers Must Now Do q SLOUGH

Miss Harriet X. Ellicott,
girls physical education in
structor at Mount Clemens High
School, has long taught young
ladies the art of correct deport-
ment, posture and drawing
room dignity.
Now she's trying hard to in
still into them the haphazard
habits of a sailor on shore leave,
including a swashbuckling bow
legged walk!
Which doesn't indicate that
the Physical Ed. Dept, is rapidly
disintegrating, but rather that
Miss Ellicott is coaching special
dance ensembles for Hit the
Deck" the musical comedy to be
presented May ID and 19 by the
Choral Department, for which
reserved tickets 60 on sale Mon
day.
Many a laugh ripples through
rehearsals as the girls try to
walk and act like a sailor acts
on the solid pavements of a port
town.
Miss Ellicott has a brother in
naval service, SO lest the brass
hats worry, the dignity of the
Navy will be upheld in the pro-
duction.
Miss Merle DehlS, director of
the girls physical education de-
partment, is responsible for the
special dance ensembles being
devised. One of these is fir
tatious dance of Chinese girls at
tracing American sailors. High
school girls, used to the free and
unhampered movements of Am
erican dancing Gree and I'M

the office cynic), find it diff
cult to adapt themselves to the
petite motions of the Chinese
dance.
Miss Dehls, incidentally, has
two brothers in the naval serv-
ice, one being on overseas duty,
SO "Hit the Deck" seems an APP
propriate vehicle for the physi-
cal education departments eff

At the stores service building, at
