ARCADIA, Calf. Feb. IT,
Coaltown and Ponder, racing un-
der the red silks Of the Calumet
Farms, led the field in the 18th
running of the $4,000 San An
tonic Handicap at Santa Anita
Park today.
Seventeen contenders, most OF
them already cycling the larger
plum coming up-the 100000
Santa Anita Handicap March 3
were named for today's battle
Post time is approximately
7:45 pm, Eastern Standard
| Time.)
Trainer Jimmy Jones named
three Calumets for the race. Coal
town, Ponder and ALI Blue.
The opposition to the Calumets
consisted of Next Move, Vulcan's
Forge, Moonrush, Bullreigh Jr.,
Bernbrook. Repeluz, Sudan. Mo-
copo, Beau Max. Vino Fino. Be
Fleet, Sturdy One. Frankly and
Last Round.
Many astute observers strung
along with Alfred G. Vanderbilt's
4-year-old filly champion OF
1850, Next Move. Their reasoning
was based on the point that Coal
town, with only one race since
last April, is the warmest senti-
mental horse in the lot but other
wise distinct unknown quantity
Ponder. they contended. ran in
differently in the San Pasqual
Handicap January 13 and needed
a good tightener before going into
today's stern test. Ponder won the
mile and one-eighth San Antonio
last year.
Next Move ran out of the money
in the rich Santa Anita Maturity
February 3 but that was case OF
strategy that misfired. Next Move
burned out the field on the pace
on behalf of her stablemate, Bed
o Roses. 1t probably would have
worked except that Bed O. Roses
broke down in the stretch run.
Steve Brooks and Willie Shoe
maker were engaged to ride for
Calumet, but which would draw
Coaltown or Ponder was left for
the trainer to decide. Eric Guerin
got Next Move and Johnny Long
den was signed for Bullreigh Jr.
Today's lineup had total earn
ings of more than $4,000
Ponder led the list, with $541 ,275
to his credit; Coaltown was next,
at $386,025, and Vulcan's Forge
was third in line. with $324,240
Some $4,000 or more fans were
expected to witness the race.

RY the Associated Prsss

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. It's
big-tine college football getting
too big for its own good?
Richard c. Larkins, athletic di-
rector Of football-minded Ohio
State University. is the latest col
lege official to say so. He thus adds
his voice to similar opinions ex-
pressed in January at the Pacific
Coast Conference meeting in Riv-
erdale, Calf.
The Rose Bowl pact between
the Big Ten and the Coast Con-
ference is up for renewal this
year and there has been consider
able speculation that the agree
ment won't be renewed.
Larkins, who bosses athletics at
a school which last year drew
$1.112,000 at the turnstiles for five
home grid games, had this to say
yesterday:
Football is being ruined. It's
getting completely out of hand.
It's a Frankenstein. a monster.
Football is killing itself"
OSU Grid Tv Asked.
The blast followed closely pas
sage by the Ohio House of Repre-
sentatives of a resolution asking
that all Ohio State grid games be
televised. The NCAA has banned
televising of college football.
Some officials believe television
reduced football gate receipts.
"But maybe television is the
answer" said Larkins. Maybe it
will kill off football as we have
1t today and we can start all over
and build it up again without all
this overemphasis. This might be
the best thing that could happen
to college athletics.
Even disregarding television," !"
Larkins went on, college athletics
are i'll, really sick. And the big
canker is football"
Athletic leaders at some of the
Pacific Coast schools agree. The
conference meeting in January
produced statement, issued
through its then president, II. P.
Everest, which said in part:
1--WE have been increasingly dis
turbed by the growing intensity of
proselyting and subsidization of
athletic material. In trying to
find solutions to these problems
we naturally turned to some of the
basic causes and frankly discussed
those things which tended to in
crease the pressures for winning
teams, among which and of major
Importance were post season
games and added emphasis in
football through use Of spring
training sessions and the platoon
system

Larkins has other worries, too.

Eagan, a Spectator
All Hairsfon Victory,
Plans No Inquiry
BY The Associated Press

NEW YORK. Feb. 17.-While
the 6,154 fans actually present in
Madison Square Garden and thou
sands more who watched on tele-
vision asked or wondered what
happened to Paddy Young, Eddie
Esgan, chairman of the New York
State Athletic Commission today
said he saw nothing wrong with
the finish of Young's losing bout
with Silent Gene Hairston in the
second round of a scheduled To-
rounder last night.
Eagan, ringside spectator. said
he saw nothing suspicious about
the bout, which brought a chorus
of boos from the fans when
Referee Ruby Goldstein halted it
at 2::57 of the second round after
Young's third trip to the canvas.
Tt was Paddy's fifth knockdown
in the one-sided affair. Under
New York rules, a non-title bout
is ended automatically when a
fighter Is knocked down three
times in single round.
Eagan Doesn't Suspect Bout.
Asked if he planned a further
investigation beyond last nights
questioning of principals and
ringside officials. Eagan said:
81 have no information this was
anything but an honest bout. If
there is any information that 1t
was not, the commission certainly
will look into IT.
Dan Dowd, executive secretary
of the commission, questioned
Young about the knockdowns
after the bout. He also talked to
Hairston through his manager,
Mike Miele. After consulting the
referee. both judges, two commits
sion doctors and many boxing
men, Dowd said he was con-
vinced the punch that started
Young to defeat was a "left-hand
blow below the ribs in the first
round.
Dowd said he had no reason
for further investigation.
"As far as I'm concerned. the
fight was stopped by the three
knockdown rule" he told report
ers.
Blames Kidney Punch.
Usually punches bounce off
Paddy like rain off tin roof. but
he said it was different last night.
THE punch to the kidney in
the first was terrific" said Paddy
who weighed 1884 pounds. 1T

never got my breath, back"

"Are you hurt or trying to quit?'

Goldstein, ''I'll have you suspend
