running and deceptive back
field combination in Paul
Varwig, Fred Fleming, Percy
Jeffries, Gerry Blank, Irving
Swan, Jim Manera and Ralph
Zychowicz.
In Sundays game, the Local
IL forward line continually
ripped through the Gradel Of
fensive to smear play after play
while on the offense the Union
men made many sizeable gains
through their opponents line.
The first score of the game came
in the first period when the
Gradels fumbled and fell on the
ball behind their own goal for
safety and two points for the
CIO.
In the second quarter, Fred
Fleming, fleet Local IL
back, took a 45-yard pass oi& )
fingertips and scampered across
the goal line, making the score
8 to 0 as the half ended.
The final score came as Paul
Varwig, hard running fullback,
skirted the end and lateralled
the ball to Fleming, who made
a beautiful 65-yard open field
zig-zag run to the goal line. The
point after touchdown went
wild and the closing score was
IA to 0 in favor of the Local IL
team.
The CIO linemen who did an
outstanding job in gaining the
victory were Gerry Finnegan,
Walter Gunlite, Bob Bortles,
Bing Crosby, Bob Dunn, Mike

ways October harness racing
meeting moves into its second
week at Fort Miami's flashy
new racing plant with interest
heightened by the arrival Of more
than 100 new horses from the

The influx swells the total
number of horses on hand for
the 27-night meeting to round
800, including some of the fast

section of the country.
The first week of the meet
met with popular approval from
local harness enthusiasts despite
some crisp fall evenings. OF
great surprise to the patrons has
been the streamlined Fort Miami
track with its automatic starting
gate, photo finish and totalisator
betting equipment.
The streamlined races them
selves have created a real stir
with eight straight dashes each
evening replacing the old heat"
system. Another innovation has
been the half-mile track with
the sulkies whirling by the
grandstand twice in each event.
With the starting gate, photo
