Vanderbilt Ace Shows
Ability Over Route in
Ninth Straight Win
picture on Page CO
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Winter-
book odds on the 1853 Kentucky
Derby haven't been posted, but
when they are you can bet that
Alfred G.. Vanderbilt's Native
Dancer will be one of the shortest
priced favorites in the history Of
the Louisville classic.
A lot of things can happen be-
fore the first Saturday of next
May. But as matters stand now.
the unbeaten gray son of Poly
nesian stands out as very few
horses have in recent years.
Native Dancer answered some
of the questions regarding his
staying powers yesterday when he
ran l/16 miles in the East View
Stakes at Jamaica for his ninth
straight victory. The Derby is IA
miles.
Sets Mark for Earnings.
The $38,525 he won boosted his
earnings for the year to $3.50, ,495-
a new record for a 2-year-old. The
old record was the $4,000 earned
by the unbeaten filly, Top Flight.
IN seven races in 1881.
While the Derby is three six
teenths of mile farther than the
East View, Native Dancer won so
easily yesterday that some ex-
perts said there is no question
about his route-running ability.
Although sired by a horse
known chiefly for his speed up to
a mile, Native Dancer is not built
like a sprinter. He is angular,
with lengthy. sinewy muscles and
his long stride denotes the dis
tance performer.
Po,ynesian, his sire. did win the
Preakness at a mile and three-six-
teenthS. And his dam, GeiSha,
was sired by Discovery, a regular
marathcner.
He had no trouble at ALL"
Jockey Eric Guerin said yesterday
after returning the gray ghost to
the winners circle. He tried to
pull himself up as usual just be-
fore the finish, but I kept him
going"
Perhaps the best remark about
the colt came from Ted Atkinson.

Present Team. Better
Than Last Yeor, but
Poor Against Georgia
By MerreII WhittIesey

Louisiana State won seven
games and tied one last year on an
11-game schedule, yet Gaynell
Tinsley. the Tigers first alumnus
coach, still terms his teams 27-O
defeat by Maryland as its best
technical performance of the sea-
son. The Tigers play Maryland
Saturday in the Terps' home
coming game.
Tinsley backed up his opinions
on the 1851 Terps by picking them
to beat Tennessee by three touch
downs in the Sugar Bowl. The
margin was two.
Tinsley said his team made few
mistakes against the Terps, but
simply was overpowered. A keep
play by Maryland's Jack Scarbath
broke the game open midway in
the second period after 2O-odd
minutes of the toughest opposition
encountered by the Terps all sea-
son.
Coach Tinsley and his 43-man
squad will arrive here tomorrow
Afternoon by plane and will make
headquarters at the Willard Ho-
tel. This will be LSU's first visit
TO Washington.
Stronger This Year.
With 27 sophomores on this
years squad. Louisiana State has
IA better club than last year
despite three defeats in it's first
five games.
The Bayou Rengals have lost
the ball twice as many times as
Maryland ON funlbles this year
Is times to s. and 13 of the fun
bles helped contribute to defeats
by Texas and Georgia. LSU opered
by losing. 35-14, to Texas, losing
the ball on fumbles six times.
The Tigers followed by losing
20-19. to Alabama. as the Crimson
Tide scored the winning touch
down with three minutes to play
Then the Tigers started to roll
beating Rice. 27-7. in the role OF
a two-touchdown underdog, and
Kentucky, 34-7, when the latter
was a one-touchdown favorite
TinSley was named coach -of-the-
week in the Southeastern Confer
ence for his teams triumph over
Rice.
Couldn't Get Team Up.
Last weeks 27-14 defeat by
Georgia is the one that hurt the
Maryland game buildup. Jim
Corbett, LSU's publicity man,
speaking for Tinsley yesterday,
described it this way:
Coach says we had just played
four tough games, two straight on
the road, and all of the teams we
had played looked better on paper
than Georgia. And with the
Maryland game coming up the
following week. we just couldn t
stir up any enthusiasm to play
Georgia"
Corbett added that Wally Butts,
the Georgia coach, said the LSU
game was his teams best per-
formance in five years.
NOTES-This will be the first
Iof three straight homecoming
games for LSU. The Tigers play
lat Mississippi next week and Ten
nessee in their own homecoming

Unfortunately" said the Com

when they are transferred to a

By the Associoted Press

Representative Vinson. Demo-
crat of Georgia. declared today
that the Army, Navy and Ali
Force oppose increasing the
strength of the Marine Corps be-
cause they fear it would cause a
reduction in their own appropria-
ltions.
Mr.. Vinson, chairman of the
Armed Services Committee, led Off
House debate today.
AS the bill passed the Senate
land was approved by the House
Armed Services group, the Marines
would be maintained at not less
than four combat divisions and
-four combat-strength Marine air
wings. The House committee
stipulated that a personnel mini
mum of 100000 be established to
keep the units up to strength.
Vincent Wants Three Divisions.
Mr.. Vinson announced. however,
that he will offer an amendment
to make the minimum strength
three combat divisions plus three
full-strength air wings and sup
porting units.
Opponents pegged their argu-
|ments to economy and necessity.
They said a four-diviSion corps
would cost 81 billion more year
and, in effect, would be a second
land army.
Mr.. Vinson said Pentagon brass
in general strongly opposes the
Legislation.
In prepared speech, Mr.. Vinson
scoffed at arguments that the
Marines should be some percent
age of the Navy in strength. He
also dismissed the view that an
enlarged corps would duplicate
the Army and Air Force.
The Army. the Navy and the
Air Force are afraid that if the
Congress maintains a large Ma
rine Corps, this will hurt their
