Money Record Likely
lis Denied the Tear,
Now 4 Years Old
BY WILBUR JENNINGS,


MIAMI, Fla, Jan. New Year
Day ordinarily is time for hope
and happiness around racing sta
BILE, but there's only gloom today
It's universal birthday" fol-
thoroughbreds, all horses becoming
year older on January / under
racing rules.
No birthday ever was less well
coined because the Government rae
ing ban is effective after tomorrow
and the outlook for the turf's darl-
ings is just as black as for the cheap
platers.
There's no certainty now that
therell be Kentucky Derby
Preakness or Belmont Stakes for the
new class of 3-year- -olds, and it il
just as doubtful that therell be any
rich handicaps for the older per-
formers.
Twilight Tear, 1944s horse oF the
year, was brought to Florida this
winter to go after Top Flights
money winning record for fillies OF
S275, 300 but now Calumet Farm
Trainer Ben Jones is doubtful that
she'll reach the mark. Her presen:
winnings total $202,O 900.
Twilight Tear Today.
The Tear was 4 years old today
and Jones explained that I'VE plan
to retire her after this year. She
isn't worrying as much about hel
birthday as we are She's gooc
and sound, runs well and we will
continue to gallop her to keep hel
in shape, but the suspension prob
ably will ruin her chances at the
money mark"
Possibly the hardest hit by the
ban are the former juveniles which
are entering their all-important
3-year-old year.
Among the horses which may miss
their chance for fame are such
beauties as Walter M. Jefford's
Pavot, unbeaten in eight starts as
2-year-old and winner of $179 900
and William Helis' Pericles, which
cost s66,000 at the yearling sales
Pericles has great breeding and is
one of the best prospects today but
never has run race
Others new in the 3-year-old class
and their last years winnings are
John Marsch's Free for All, un-
beaten in five races, winner OF
s109, ,557; Fred w. Hooper's Alabama
bought for S17,500 and has shown
good promise; Calumet's Pot o
Luck, winner Of S53,180; Calumet S
Hail Victory, one of the best of the
lot at the end of the season.
Other Topnotchers Hit.
Also, Edward ]. Lasker's Flood
town, winner of four races ano
S30,035; T. D. Buhl's Air Sailor
winner of $32,019; Maine Chance
Farms War Jeep, winner of S39, 9,065
and c. c. Tanners Best Effort
winner of s37,855.
While Twilight Tear heads the
new 4-year-olds there are other
such top thoroughbreds as BY jim
mink, Alfred P. Parker's horse which
many considered last years top g.
year-old, even though Pensive wor
the Kentucky Derby and Preakness,
Whirlabout, Louis B. Mayors win

Home, one of the best from William
liegler, Jr's stable; Lucky Draw
owned by George d. Widener, ano
Greentree Farms Stir Up. Pensive
already has been retired.
Among the topnotch handicap
horses which turned another year
today are Four Freedoms, winner

Hospital Benefit
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1.-Star-
studded football outfits, picked from
the cream of Americas pigskin
crop, hook up before an expected
crowd of $4,000 in Kezar Stadium
today in the Goth annual Shrine
East-West game under the banner
of charity.
Off past performances of individ-
ual stars the East held slight edge
in favoritism, but the Westerners
were in top condition and promised
a sharp aerial assault with UCLA's
quarterback, Bob Waterfield, doing
much of the pitching.
| The East boasted such noted ball
hawks as Halfback Les Horvath of
Ohio State; Jimmy Walthall, SEN
sational freshman fullback from
West Virginia, and Earl Girard, the
17-year-old frosh from Wisconsin,
all crackerjack passers in their own
right, but the Westerners had con-
fidence in Waterfields right arm,
which pitched ULCA into the Rose
Bowl two years ago.
With the lines stacking up about
even in strength, the backfelds ap-
peared to be the determining factor
and for the first time in the history
OF the classic the two sides were
using the T-formation as well as
the single wingback
The players, hand-picked from
each side of the Mississippi, have
had just two weeks of practice
hampered somewhat by rain. The
West was impressive in its finaI
workout-a two-hour, slam-bang
scrimmage on Friday
The West has won 10 and the
East of the last 10 games, with
resulting in ties. Last year they
ended up at 1913.

Tulsa Mentor Fearful
Of Ga. Tech S Running
As Well as Passing
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla, Jan. Everybody
else figured that Georgia Tech would
have to connect with a lot of passes
today or else lose the Orange Bowl
football game-but Tulsa Coach
Henry Frnka wasn't so sure.
Techs got not only a fine passing
team but a good running attack
also" Frnka insisted.
Those who say all we have to do
to beat Tech Is to halt the passing
are wrong. It's a better balanced
team than that.
Il think the Georgians are better
than they were last year, and you'll
recall that they beat us then in the
Sugar Bowl They have Frank
B.oyles back, they have improved
extensively and their kicking is
better"
The betting odds which favored
Georgia Tech by as much as 2 to /
last week were lowered by the time
the 26,000 ticket holders began
trickling into the gaily bedecked
Orange Bowl Stadium, and there
were some reports that those who
wanted to back Tulsa had to give a
slight edge.
One factor was the reported failure
Of Dinky Bowen, the spearhead of
the Engineers running attack, to
snap back from late-seaSon injury
Another was the excellent showing
of the powerful Oklahomans in their
practice sessions here. Miamians
have been particularly impressed by
the charging of Camp Wilson. the
muscular fullback, and the passing
|of Perry Moss, freshman tailback.
Tulsa is hard team to defend
against and will score on u.s." was
the way Tech Coach w. A. Alexander
summed up the situation. The only
way we'll be able to beat them is to
make more touchdowns. They're
better than they were last year in
many respects, while we're not as
good
