traditional feature of today's OPEN
ing program at this track. Post
time throughout the meeting will
be 2:l5 pm.
The Calumet star, paired with
stablemate Beau Dandy, was a pro-
hibitive favorite, despite the good
opposition arrayed against him. The
powerful son of Bull Lea made his
racing debut at this track and has
been beaten only once in 13 starts
since. He was seeking his NTH
consecutive victory Of 194S.
For his first start since winning
the Flamingo Stakes on February

pounds, the Derby weight, for the
6-furlong spirit. Most of the experts
figured Trainer Jimmy Jones star

Today's dash was the first of two
tune-up races planed by Calumet
for Citation before the Derby. The
big colt is slated to run in the
Chesapeake Stakes Saturday before
being shipped to Louisville for the
first leg of the 3-year-old Triple

Citation will be ridden today and
in the Kentucky classic by Jockey

teams: II deeply regret the, sac

who served under him will live or
forever"
Art Rooney, president Of thu
Steelers, expressed the sentiment
typical of PittsbWghers when HI
said: "He put Pittsburgh on tn.
professional football map. Pitts.
burgh lost one Of its leading citizens
I lost one Of my finest friends"
1t was in Pittsburgh, both in pre
and college ranks, that the taciturr
man known as 'the Silent Scot,
achieved his greatest success.
In his IS years as coach at Pitt
he sent four teams to the Rose Bow
and declined q nth bid. His teams
won Eastern football titles seven
times and produced 10 All-America
selections. At Lafayette College
where he tutored before coming to
Pitt, he also won Eastern collegiate
honors.
Few Excel Coaching Record.
Only four coaches have bettered
his all-time record Of 172 games won,
A lost and Is ties for an 800 per-
centage. Those were Knute Rockne
Of .Notrs Game, Fielding Yost of
Michigan, Wade Of Duke and
Frank Thomas, former coach at
Alabama.
When Pitt adopted 3 ~de.em-
phasis" program In 1888, Sutherland
remained out Of football two years.
He entered the pro ranks in 1910 as
coach Of the Brooklyn Dodgers. then
in the NFL. In two years his
Brooklyn teams won Is and lost
7 games.
After serving in the Navy as a
lieutenant commander in World
War II, Sutherland came home" to
coach the Steelers in 1916. The
magic of his name was sufficient to
give the Steelers their greatest at
tendance records. In addition, he
led the Steelers to their best season
in history, tying the Philadelphia
Eagles for the Eastern divisional
title last year.
Sutherland never married. He
came to this country as youth
from Cooper Angus, Scotland, where
his mother and q sister Louisa still
reside. Other survivors include a
sister Marion and . brother VIII
liam, both Of Pittsburgh.
Taught Dentistry ut Pitt.
After working seven years he
entered Pitt and played in the first
college football game he ever saw.
He was q member Of three unde-
feated Pitt teams, 1915-16.17, play
ing guard under Coach Glenn s.
(Pop) Warner.
ACCIDENTALLY he studied dentistry
and won his doctorate. He never
practiced, but served as an In
structor at Pitts Dental School.
He served overseas in World War
I and became head coach at La
fayette College, in 1919. His teams
defeated Pitt In 1921 and 1922 and
these successes were instrumental In
his appointment as head coach
when Warner resigned in 1928 to &c
to Stanford.

Temple remains to play Mary
land on Wednesday, while G. w.

game will give a comparison be-
tween G. w. and Georgetown, the
Hoyas having beaten the Marines,
7-2, two weeks ago.
Maryland heads north late this
week, and Georgetown goes south.
The Terrapins play at Cornell on
Friday and Rutgers on Saturday,
while G. U. is at Washington and
Lee Friday and stays at Lexington
to take on v. M. I. the next day.
Eagles Quit Ellipse Diamond.
American U. has returned to its
home field after trying the Ellipse.
Mason-Dixon foes prefer the Eagles
layout In spite of the short right
field, which turns into . steep bank
and woods right behind first base.
Hopkins, which visited there Satur-
day, put seven southpaws on the
field against the Eagles, and num-
ber of them poked ground-rules
doubles into the sticks. A. us home
game this week is against Loyola
on friday, while 1t plays at Quantico
Saturday. -.
More batting practice has been
prescribed for Catholic U. by Coach
Gene Augusterfer following last
Saturdays 6-3 loss to Loyola. Jack
Walsh, Joe Bickel and Joe Hallisey
were the only Cards to connect
against Dick Farace, Greyhound
ace, and Augusterfer believes the
week stick work reflects the lack of
outdoor practice.
Augusterfer was elated by the
mound performance of Paul Dare,
even though he lost the game. In
his first start Dare gave up eight
hits, famed II batters and walked
two. Three Of those hits came in
the first frame and, grouped with
streak Of wildness and G. U. field
ing jitters, helped give Loyola five
runs and victory.

county help, Under the state old age
