# Windy City II doesn't win
Ithe Santa Anita Derby Saturday,
lone of the most surprised judges
Iof race horses will be George A.
Garrett. former United States
Ambassador to Ireland and owner
and breeder of thoroughbreds.
"I saw him win his first race
lat the Curragh of Kildare" the
former diplomat told us, land he
lis. nice horse. He's leggy-the
Irish say he has a lot of sunshine
under him-but he's effortless and
II think he. will go distance"
Windy City II was described by
another authority as part cat
and part bird. He is as shifty on
his feet as a cat and when he
runs he takes off like a bird" !"
Garrett agrees with this, recalling
Ia race In France in which Windy
City II was turned sideways when
the field broke and. after being
left at the post, lost by only a
nose.
A Freak in Ireland.
"He's called q freak in Ireland
because he has no classic blood
line" Garrett explained.
In other words, neither Windy
City IFS old man, Windham, nor
his dam, Staunton. or his for
bears. won any Of the classic
European stake races.
Irish breeders are extremely
careful about bloodlines, the
affable Garret explained. Stall
lion owners select 10 mares they
will accept for breeding. Those
with good family background who
have won races get reference.
Those with good lines who never
raced are acceptable. and they'll
take a gamble on Well-bred horses

Hill Gail, Indian Land
Rated Top Threats
To Windy City II
By the Assoeioted Press

ARCADIA, Calf, Feb. 21.-
Windy City II remains the
heavy favorite to win the
100000 Santa Anita Derby
Saturday, but the prowess of
the Irish colt apparently
hasn't scared many rivals out
of the race.
At least a dozen other colts
seem destined to go in the big
race for 3-year-olds. and four
others may join the ranks by
the time entries close tomor-
row.
That would mean a field Of
II youngsters in the mile and
one-eighth fixture.
The two leading threats, as
observers see it, are Hill Gail,
the Calumet's Bull Lea colt.

Eastern in Top Form
For PIayoff Battle
With Unbeaten Tech
By Brion Bell, Jr.

SlonS 10 get into the 1nterhigh'
playoffs will be out to revenge
. regular season loss to unde-
feated Tech in the first game of
the title series opener tomorrow
night at 1880 in the Tech gym.
In the second game third place
Coolidge must play a much better
game than it did In losing to
Roosevelt 67-47 last week to stand
chance when the Colts meet
the second place Riders again.
The winners tomorrow night play
for the championship at Tech
Saturday night at 8:15.
Eastern lost it's first two league
games during the regular season
but gradually improved to edge
into fourth place in the 4-team
playof with a A record. Then
the Ramblers who had lost to
Anacostia, $3.50. and Wilson ST.
As. turned the tables on the In
dians, 52-45, and the Tigers, 1910.
Ou1CU4t ASSl&umCnts
Reversing their 19-point loss to
Tech is a much more difficult as
signment for Eastern. However,
Bobby Hart, Rambler's coach, is
again predicting an Eastern VIC
tory. He did the first time they
met Tech, too. Hart claims he now
has all three of his big men, Dick
Torbett. Graham Pennington and
Joe D'Ambrosio, in good shape and
that they will make the difference.
Pennington missed Eastern's
last game with Tech because of an
injury and D'Ambrosio was ill.
Tech, with 33-game two-year
winning streak. swept all it's eight
Interhigh games without being
held to closer than an 11-point
margin. Led by Snookie Herman
and Bill Breen. high scoring for
wards; Joe Cav and Frank Sulli-
van, rough rebounders, and Dick
DeCesare who has improved with
regular work, the Trainers will be
heavy favorites.
Fasteners, however, have long
enough memories to recall last
years game with Tech. The
Trainers were supposed to win
that one with ease. but the game
was still tied with only few
seconds remaining when Cav
tossed in a layup to get Tech a
two-point victory.
The second playof game is diff
f1cult to dope out. Roosevelt,
playing its best ball Of the year,
had no trouble beating favored
Coolidge. However, the Colts are
O hot-and-cold team, one of the
two teams to beat st. Johns fine
club this season, and can be ex-
pected to play better tomorrow
night. g..
Good on Rebounds.
The Riders have the edge under
the boards with Hall Pollin, Zeke
Zimmerman and Bob Potts to
grab the rebounds. Robbie
Smithers, ineligible the first half
of the season. has been a big help
since his return. and high-scoring
Bill Smith, who was slow round
ing into form after the football
campaign, has been finding the
range lately. Coach Gabe Ferazzi
says his Riders have played their
best ball in the last five games.
Coolidge has a pair of the best
outside shots in the area in Car
melo Pine and Ardie Baker. If
this pair is "on" against Roose-
velt. they could mean the differ
ence. Each is capable of hitting
for over 20 points, Pine with his
eftortless set and Baker with his
two-hand jump shot.
