racing fans who have gone over
board on the sensational Wood
chuck were re-appraising him to-
day after the 4-year-old sprinter
finished a poor third in the $10,-
600 Hialeah's opening Inaugural.
Woodchuck, backed down to IS
cents on the dollar by the open
ing-day crowd Of 21,326, was 21a
lengths back at the finish of a
I6-furlong duel won by Spartan
Valor by a head over Jumbo
Spartan Valor was ~ lengths

Gently, streak that made him
the darling of Florida's racing
crowd.
Spartan ValOr Pays $11.20.
The winner, ably ridden by
Jimmy Stout, provided a thrilling
enough race yesterday, slipping
through on the inside near the
finish for close triumph. The
winning payoff on Spartan valor
was $11.20, while Jumbo returned
$21 to holders of place tickets.
Woodchuck, who won his pre-
vious three races over the same
distance with ease, lacked the
speed that earned him the tenta-
tive title of another Coaltown," +"
and in addition tried to bear out
in the stretch. He was whacked
back into line by Jockey Charlie

Meet Opening Success.
The opening Of Hialeah's 40
day meeting was very much of a
success. and the tracks owners
are talking of a $50 million meet
ing. The crowd was slightly of
last years first-day turnout, but
the betting handle was heavier.
The 81 ,289,297 total was a first
day record for Hialeah.
The weather, as it has been
for every Florida racing day this
winter. was perfect. In fact, it
might have been a little too good
as warm sunshine drew many po-
tential bettors to Miami's beaches
instead of the track.
Hialeah has everything in its
favor in the campaign for a new
overall betting record, including
the breakdown on bookies, which
has reduced Illegal off-track
wagering and brought more peo-
pile to the tracks.
The national trend has been
up 10 per cent or better. Wednes-

Rams Hope Bill Wade Can Play
A Year Before Call Into Navy
Complete Draft List, Page CO
By the Assoeiated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-Coach
Joe Stydahar of the Los Angeles
Rams hopes to get years service
out of his prize draft choice, Bill
Wade, before the Vanderbilt quar-
terback goes into service.
IT'S possible. you know" the
strapping one-time Chicago Bears
tackle said today. Bill is in the
VS. naval program. When he
graduates, he gets a commission
and then it becomes a matter of
when he's called up. Sometimes
it's a year."
Once summoned for active duty,
however. the potential ensign must
spend two years in Navy duty.
Asked why he chose Wade as his
bonus player in the National Foot
ball League draft when he had
two of the pro games outstanding
T-quarterbacks in Bob Waterfield
and Norm Van Brocklin, Stydahar
said: g,.,.,......-.. .,.-.........--..s Z
II have found you can't have a
winning ball club in this league
unless you have a good T-quarter-
back. Besides, Waterfeld hasn't
signed his contract for 1852 and
it's not certain he will play"
| Wade, second team All-Amer-
lea, is a 6-foot-2, 202-pound
Nashville (Tenn.) stalwart who
fits the pros minute specifications.
Wade Exceptional Passer.
He is an exceptionally good
passer, specializing in the long
throws that can go all the way.
He is big enough and runner
enough to make ground if he can't
get his throw away. He was third
among the Nations total offense
leaders with 1876 yards. Only
Princeton's Dick Kazmaier and
Loyola's Don Klosterman were
ahead of him.
At Nashville last night Wade
received an award as the South
eastern Conferences most valu-
able player, determined by vote
of the SECS IL head football
coaches. It was the 18th annual
SEC award presented by the
Nashville Banner.
When Wade came up to the
Vanderbilt varsity in 1949, praise
was showered his way and his
picture adorned the cover of a
national magazine. Wade was
supposed to pick up in great style
with the fine team Red Sanders
had left when he transferred to
IUCLA.
Prayed for Help.
But for one reason or another
Wade didn't come through. He
told a banquet crowd last night
that he spent many dark moments
in his sophomore year and that
nothing seemed to go right.
II was glad that I could 60 to
church." Bill said. IT prayed to
God many times for the help ]

AS a Junior, on a hot afternoon
early in the 1850 season, Bill
showed he was on his way when
he threw five touchdown passes
against Auburn. His poise, team
handling ability and all-around
greatness finally developed fully
last year.

ABILENE. KanS.. June g.
Nobody achieved surprise in the

The budding candidate had
done his homework well. Every
question was answered and
without hesitation.
Not all the answers were re-

He did take q few positive
stands and he scorned several OF
the easy ways out, notably in

did he really compromise his

moderate on domestic affairs

He also displayed a nice feel

Is surprising that as much in
ternational understanding as
there is exists today in the face
of so many complex factors
which tend constantly to break
it down.
When there is a large-scale
war, some semblance Of mill
tary unity is always established.
But in an emergency like the
present which is almost as seri-
Gus as war-and, indeed. it is
often called q "cold war"-there
is no psychological unity and
there is also economic disunity.
Looking back at all the con-
troversy in Congress about the
Importance of the ''Voice Of
America" in reaching persons
behind the Iron Curtain, one is
tempted to suggest that the
Voice Of America" might bet
ter be directed. with a different

pen In Europe.
There is a basis for a good

by the fact that the British
public reads very little of the
American viewpoint in the

There can be no. satisfactory
solution for International ques-

like the Americans, understand

form objective judgments of

ment unless they have a COM
