LIPIEC GETS RICH
TRAINING PLATERS
Picks Mays At Claiming
Prices, Works Them
Into Winners
By WILBUR JENNINGS

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 29LR-From
an exercise boy in 1926 to Ameri-
cas- leading racehorse trainer in
1945-that's the story of little 80
year-old Canadian-born Stanley
Lipiec.
Quiet and unassuming, but rated
as smart as they come around the
tracks, Lipiec had to resort to
newspaper clippings TO get train
er's license at Hot Spring, Ark, as
recently as 1910. They wanted proof
that he ever trained horse!
With 124 winners to his credit
early this week and 1870 his goal
for the year, Lipiec takes over
after an almost 12-year reign by
the famous Hirsch Jacobs. Jacobs
was the turfs top trainer from 1888
through 1914 with the exception of
1910 when the honor went to D..
Womeldorff.
Second to Lipiec this week is l..
Sierra, a Mexican trainer, with
SO. Jacobs was third with IS.
Lipiee, currently racing at Gulf
stream park, has been around
the tracks" since he was II years
old. He recalls seeing his first race
horses at the Long Branch track
in Canada-only few miles from
his fathers farm.
His success has been in the train
ing of platers. He "claims" every
thing he thinks might turn out to
be money winner. He's made a
few enemies around the tracks be-
cause of this. 1t worries him a
little, but he says racing is tough
game, and that he's come up the
hard way-'"and every man in the
race game plays it his own way. "
AS trainer for Mrs. Lottie Wolf,
of Detroit, the ''halter queen, -
Lipiec has had more than 70
horses pass through his hands this
year. In 1914, the number was
somewhere around 80.
He has never trained any great
thoroughbreds, nor has he ever had
a horse to win over a $4,000 race
But his winning this year will go
above the $23O,OO0 mark. Last year,
81 winners brought in purses to-
falling $98,915.
His best horses have been Ro-
nulus and Shout About.

high spirits tonight as this crack

cocks in the Gator bowl New Years
Day.
The only discordant note among
the party was sounded by Coach
D. c. Peahead Walker who said
he was none too optimistic about
the Deacons' chances of winning.
eve haven't been able to hold a
satisfactory drill in two weeks be-
cause of weather conditions,
Walker said. I'm afraid we aren't
in very good physical condition.

Wake Forest a 13-point favorite.

strong argument from the SQUAT.
drawing Walker.
How do they figure we're 10
points better than South Carolina?"
he asked. Didn't they play us to
1913 tie? Besides, they've got a
better team now. I can't see 10
points difference in the teams"
Walker said he was depending
lot on the right arm of curly-haired
Nick Sacrinty, 180-pound tailback,
to bring him victory. Sacrinty's
passing has been a standout all
year, figuring prominently in the
victories over North Carolina State,
Clemson, Presbyterian and the Uni
versity of North Carolina.
Sacrinty will also bear the brunt
of the running attack with fullback
Rock Brinkley. Brinkley is bother
ed with a touch of sinus, but he is
expected to be in the starting lineup
against The Gamecocks.
Coach John Mcmillan and his
South Carolina Gamecocks arrived
in Jacksonville yesterday and inn
mediately began limbering up
drills. Both teams will hold taper
ing off workouts Monday afternoon
in the 22,000-capacity Jacksonville
stadium.
The game will mark the second
meeting of the Deacons and Game
cocks this season. In their first
encounter on Thanksgiving day at
Charlotte, the underdog South Car
olinians battled the heavier Demon
Deacons to a 1913 tie.

North Carolina, in keeping with the

vath moaned, but in the next breath
added, Keep an eye on our Ted
Tannehill-he might toss few that
will startle YOU.
Cravath said that he had talked
to Coach John Barnhill of the Uni
verSity of Tennessee - the club
which the Trojans beat, Is to 0, in
the 1945 bowl game-and Barnhill
didn't offer much in the way of en-

Cravath said his scouts had in

better when rushed than when he

strategic plans.
