Rich Purse Await Turf
Winners in Year 1916
BY SID FEEDER

NEW YORK, Dec. 31-lR-AIl
race-horses automatically age one
year at midnight tonight, and the
gee-gees who'll be three years old
at 1901 am. found out today that
their birthday presents will be
chances at the richest pot of gold
ever.
Last Friday, the Kentucky Derby
folks said the run for the roses
would carry 100000 added prize
package next spring. Today it was
learned the Belmont Stakes would
be boosted to the same 100000
size for 1916, putting the second
hundred grand jewel in racing S
triple crown for next year.
And Immediately, from Pimlico,
came word that the third gem-the
Preakness which still stands at
$50, 900 added, may make it unani-
NOUS when the Maryland Jockey
Club members meet January 16.
With the Santa Anita derby also
in the 100000 league, three year
olds thus already have at least
trio of "100-G" pots to run for
next year, as racing apparently
begins to spread some of its fam
tastic 1915 'take'' around. More
than a billion and quarter dollars
was bet throughout the country this
year.
In boosting the Belmont to $780,
600 status for it's 77th running next
spring probably the first Saturday
in June-Belmont officials also
shoveled a bigger bundle into the
package for the two year olds by
lifting the historic Futurity to $5o'-
900 added.
A mile and half grind, coming
in June-a month later than the
Derby-the Belmont has been tag
ged by many horsemen as the
truest test of three years olds IN
the book. It's jump to the SIX
figure bracket tops off a tremen-
dous set of leaps since F. Morris
filly, Ruthless, picked up exactly
81 $50 in winning the first running
in 1867.
Since then, its continuous annual
renewal was broken only once
when the paddock was put on New
York racing in 1912. The great
Gallant Fox was the biggest BEL
mont winner. putting $6e,o4o INTO
the bank for the 1880 running. Man
O'War picked up mere S7'7oo pay
check for practically tapping tne
1920 renewal. The chances are that

Hulett kept on until the con-

At last reports he has appeared

has become a semi-celebrity.
He still is the Burlington re-

Times but once year his
stories appear in every paper

"break" around Christmas

Otis will postpone the award

On one of the inside pages OF
Yesterdays News, story from
burlington, Wis, told the latest
results of the annual Burlington.
Liars Contest.
It was just about three years
ago that we were working in
burlington as a rcporter-er-
raid bcy-advertising statesmen
of the Burlington Standald-
Democrat. AS such we had a
chance to see how the club OPP
Grated.
Later when we moved to the Ra-
cine Journal-Times, we got an
even closer look at the club be-
ca,rse the master-mind behind the
entire publicity stunt was an old
backwoods newspaper reporter for
the Journal-Times, Otis Hulett.
According to the official story
sf the Liars club as put out by
Mr.. Hulett, the entire idea or
iginated in the brilliant mind
ri one Otis Hulett. Like all
things connected with the Liars
club that account is far from
the truth.
Here is how the whole thing
started:
Some time in the twenties, a
bunch Of newspaper reporters
gathered in the Burlington police
Station one Christmas eve with a
hottie. Among the gathering were
Hulett Mendel Hahn, brother of
Emily Hahn, the author and moth
or and "stringers' of the Mil
waukee papers.
As it will, at such occasions,
the talk became a little on the
exaggerated side, and the long
suffering police chief, one
Frank Beller, suggested that
the boys hold contest and see
who was the best liar.
Morning came and the assem-
bled liars went home to their wives
but the idea stuck with Hulett and
he proceeded to make good thing
out of the contest.
The following year he held
contest restricted to the local
personalities of Burlington. The
papers in Wisconsin played up

DAYS BIG BATTLE
BY BILL BECKER

PASADENA, Calf, Dec. 31-tR
-Alabama's undefeated, united
Crimson Tide will batter against
the University of Southern Califor-
MAS rugged Trojans today in the
32nd renewal of the Rose Bowl
/ grid classic before an estimated
sell-out crowd of $4,000.
Led by slim Harry Gilmer-de-
scribed by many critics including
Alabama's coach Frank Thomas
as perhaps the greatest all-time
passer-Alabama will take the
field with at least one-touclldoWn
favorite over the beefier Trojans,
who will defend an all-winning Rose
record. Southern California has
won eight previous bowl games.
1t will be a first meeting be-
tween the Rose Bowls two fore
most competitors. The Tide - al
ways a colorful aggregation = has
won three, lost one and tied one to
top all so-called representatives
at Pasadena.
~sphomore Gilmer's passes,
. !. .lich collected 10 touchdowns for
the Tide during the regular sea-
son, are generally expected to
prove the decisive factor.
In rebuttal, Trojan coach Jeff
Cravath will present rounded
attack spanked by the power-run-
ming of right half Ted Tannehill,
185-pound wingfoot who led the
Pacific Coast conference in scor-
ing with IL touchdowns.
The hulking Trojan line likely
will be the toughest met by the
southerners who, however,. have

In sweeping nine straight games,
the Tide ran up 1896 points to op-
ponents' 66 and ranked second to
Army in the Associated Press
final 1915 team rankings. Less i'm
pressively, the Trojans won seven,
lost three, scoring 191 polntsc
against 116.
The stock of Alabama-a strong
13-point choice a week ago-aas
slumped slightly because of Lowell
Tew's broken jaw. Right half-back
Tew, the Tides leading ground
gamer, will play with a special
headgear masking his face, but
coach Thomas is uncertain how the
19O-pound sophomore will perform.

ACCENT ON SPEED
WHEN STARS MEET
IN new ORLEANS
Aggies Are Unbeaten While
Gaels Have Lost Only
To UCLA
By RONALD WAGNER
United Press Sports Writer

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 31-U.H-
The accent will be on speed when
st. Mary's and Oklahoma A. and
NJ, each led by an All-American
halfback, clash here tomorrow be-
fore $1,000 IL, the 18th renewal of
the Sugar Bowl football classic.
Oklahoma's undefeated and I'M
tied Aggies, champions of the Mis-
souri, Valley conference, roar into
their second bowl game in two
years a two-touchdown betting fav-
orite.
The opposition, however, is
aplenty. Paced by the All-Ameri-
can speedster, Herman Wedemey-
er, St. Mary's "whiz kids" based
victory hopes on their Wiley
'Dipsy Do antics which baffled
Pacific Coast teams this season.
St. 'Mary's goes into the game
with the full knowledge that the
power edge lies with Coach Jim
Lookabaugh' Oklahomans. B u t
the speed of such slithery ball
carriers as the noted Wedemeyer
and Chuck Cordeiro gives Coach
Jimmy Phelan's beardless wonders
more than an even chance to up
set the form sheet.
Two Aggie backs are track STARS
-All-American Bob Fenimore and
little Joe Thomas. Fullback Jim
Reynolds was one of the hardest
hitting ball carriers in the nation
this season. End NELL Armstrong
is hurdling champion.
The field should be fast for the
game. The rain, which marred
practice when the two teams first
hit the Gulf Coast has gone. and
the weather prediction for today
battle is clear and cool-made to
order for the open play which is
the basis of both teams success
The two squads arrived in New
Orleans today from their Missis-
sippi training camp. They worked
out in the vast Tulane stadium, site
of the classic.
