Capot, Defeating Lame
Coa|town, C|inches
.1949 Turf Konors
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 29.-Capot
just about had "horse of the year.
honors wrapped up for Greentree
stable today. wrestling them from
Calumet farm in one stunning
race.
Capot forged ahead as the 1949
champion of the turf by beating
the horse with the most formid-
able record of the year. Coaltown.
in yesterdays Pimlico Special.
1t may be that he beat a horse
which became lame sometime dur
ing the mile and three-sixteenths
race.
Trainer Jimmy Jones and other
horsemen who gathered around to
watch Coaltown during his cool
ing out period noticed the Calumet
star favored his right hind leg.
We'll be able to tell more about
his trouble tomorrow" Jones said
dismally. Il wouldn't be surprised
to find him a lot worse then"
The way Capot won-by a
smashing II lengths-came like a
bolt out of the overcast sky.
The Special evidently ended the
years contention for division hon.
ors, as horse of the year" and
best 3-year-old colt. Capot fig
ures to take both, the latter from
Calumet's Ponder.
Trainer John Gaver sees no
other 1949 races in sight for Ca
pot, and he soon will head for
Aiken, S. c.. for the winter. CAL
umet already has taken Ponder
out of training, after agreeing to
keep him out of the Special so
Capot would start, and the same
letdown is coming to CoaltoWn.
Jones conceded the stable had
done well this year, winning ST.
124, $40.
The Calumet string probably
will split for winter racing be-
tween California and Florida. A
final decision is being delayed by
the critical condition of Owner
Warren Wright, who is i'll in New
York.
Greentree took the whole $15,-
900 Special pot and Capot nib
bled on the floral wreath in the
winners circle. Capot's hackers
got S. for So. Coaltown went off
the 3-to-l0 favorite.

Banged and battered Navy was
chosen today as the means for
Notre Dame to extend it's unbeat-
en- string to 33 games. the longest
in modern college football.
The fighting Irish, roundly &C
claimed the Nations best, were
almost prohibitive favorites in the
intersectional battle at Baltimore
that high lighted a program which
otherwise was devoted mainly to
backyard tussling.
Despite prospects of a damp
field, the South Benders are con-
coded to be % points better than
their thrice-beaten adversaries.
Navy hackers might settle for
that.
The last time Notre Dame lost
a game was at the end of the 1945
season when Great Lakes Naval
Training Station did it. They
now have gone 80 games without
a defeat. although tied twice, and
success today will put them ahead

Although favored to win breez-

up their two main rivals for ma

ter what is considered mild oppo-
sition.

These unbeaten powers. second
and third in national rankings,
are three touchdown favorites.
Oklahoma is seeking its 10th
straight victory. Army is un-
beaten. though tied by Navy, for
the last two seasons.

cause grievous is wrongly associated
with the word previous. But griev-
Gus, of course, is a tWo-syllable
word. and the correct pronunciation
is: GREE-vuSs.
The word barbarsus, by false as
sociation with such words as hilari-
GUS, gregarious, nefarious, vicarious,
is commonly mispronounced "bahr-
BAIR-ee-uS The correct pro-
nunciation is: BAHR -buh-russ.
Another familiar word that is
given an erroneous -ious ending is
the word miSchievous, mispro
nounced ''miSs-CHEE-Vee-uSs.' But
the word is syllabified thus: mis-
chie-vous. Correct pronunciation:
MISS-chi-Vuss
The careful speaker will want to
guard against the tendency to tack
an erroneous -ious ending on other
words which correctly end in -ous.

pronounced "deks TAIR ee s. uss"

Where is the human heart 10
Gated?
Many persons would answer that
question by saying, "On the left side
of the chest" They would be partly
correct, but only partly The heart
is a little more on the left side of
the chest than on the right, but it
has almost a middle position be-
tween the two lungs.
Imagine a line drawn from the
chin down to- the base of the chest.
To the right of that line would be
about two fifths of the heart, to the
left about three fifths.
IF that is true" you might ask,
why do we feel the beating of the
heart only on the lett side of the
cheSt?"
The heart has a slanting position,
with the upper part more to the
right side, the lower part more to the
left. There is a strong pumping"
action in the portion on the left
side, and this pumping is marked
by the heart beat.
