CRUSADERS FAVORED

Back in 1888, for instance, an
unbcaten Holy Cross team came
TO Detroit 10 meet the University
of Detroit team which DoralS then
was coaching. Highly favored over
the Titans, the naughty Crusaders
had their starry eyes on a place
in the Rose Bowl
But shortly after the game got
under way, Titan back Vincent
Kadi got off a quick kick that
came TO rest a few feet from the
Crusader goal line. Away went
the Crusaders, "a 10 0, and away
also went their hopes of getting
into the Rose Bow, except as
spectators.
Dorais has surprised other foes,
too. In 1927, the Army was lucky
10 gain A 6 10 0 victory over the
TitanS and promptly broke off
football relations with the un-
practicable Dorais team. In 1929,
Georgetown took Ia 10 l3 beat
ing after il thought 1t had the
TltanS conquered.

BUT SOMEBODY MUST HAVE LOST

Far be it from me to write anything that would hurt
the game or dsuson those who have devised sure-fre
systems for beating the horse but admit the
record breaking figures betting for the New York turf
season grieve me sorey.
The statistics add to what superficial study would ndi
cats the racing has enjoyed
anywhere.
Tho adjective successful" however isn't alncusiye in
this case UnquesOnaby IL has been the most successful
season for the track and for their partners the
state.
Horse didn't share propOrtOnately in the
perfty due to the relatively skinny offered heeabOu
bnt withai the owners didn't fare badly, group
Most of those who make living directly from racing prob
ably had better than average season, also.
Remember tDith whot hope they greeted the neW
season When the federal ban lifted in May? And
uifh Whof bank rolls, thanks to their fourmonth
cease from the raUages of the iron men?
Let call the science of mathematics into play TO deter
mine what these opsts successful in their
efforts prove that 81 % equals S540 not SL7S

Boston-Detroit Hockey All Even
(BY United Pressl

Boston C-men, Billy Cowley, Jack Crawford, and Herb Cain, old fel- lows as hockey players go, put the Bruins back into the thick of the fight for the Stanley Cup today at a time when the odds were long and the strain terrific.
 Boston evened the semi-finals series with Detroit at three games apiece by winning the all-necessary game on its home ice, to 3, last night.
 Detroit scored in the first 45 sec- onds on an unassisted shot by Jud McAtee. Cowley tied the score on brilliantly executed sweep in which first Cain and then Crawford ham, dled the puck. The Wings fought back and went ahead on another unassisted goal by Joe Carveth in the second. Then Bill Jennings countered quickly to tie the score again, Cain got a second goal, and Paul Gladu scored the third goal in less than five minutes. McAtee scored again shortly before the period ended but Cowley hit with the protecting goal for the Bruins early in the third period.
 The teams now play the seventh and deciding game at Detroit Tues day and the winner engages Toronto in the four -out-of-seven game finals series for the championship. Toronto scored one of the biggest sports upsets in years, by eliminat- ing the champion Montreal Cana diens four games to two, winning the finale, to 2, at Toronto Saturday.

Nelson Again Wins Going Away
BY GEORGE STAMMLER United Press Staff COrrespOndent


 Durham, N. C., April 2. (UP)- New evidence-if any is needed was available today to back up the folks who think Byron Nelson is one of the greatest competitive golfers who ever lived.
 The indomitable Ohioan had to beat 8 game little guy from his home state, Tony Penna, and he had to win the hard way yesterday, but victory was his when he came up with record 276 for the 72 holes odf the Durham open.
 Nelson, who gained his seventh major tournament victory, started out sluggishly in the tournament, improved slowly and didn't go in front until the final round. Then he was unbeatable, finishing with five under par 65 to beat Penna, the little Dayton veteran, by five strokes.
 Penna's 281 gave him second money ahead of another outsider. Jim Gauntt of Ardmorc, Okla, who was third with 282. Sammy Byrd of Detroit, who led the field at 54 holes, blew his advantage with five over par 75, finishing in fourth place with 285.
 Unbeatable?
 Nelson's drives were seldom off the middle and either his tee or first approach shots hit the green on all but two holes. He dropped one 3O-foot putt, two 15-footers and one 12footer, getting his birdies on five holes. It was practically unbeatable golf which the Toledo sharpShooter admitted was pretty good"
 You played one of the finest golf games have ever seen,' Penna told Nelson.
 Leonard Dodson of Stn Francisco had a 286 and Joe Zarhardt of Norristown, P, and Sam Snead of Hot Springs Va, 288's. The top amateur, Ed Furgol of Detroit had a 289, including final round Of 667.
