main offensive hopes against Navy
in the star-spangled service classic
Saturday at Philadelphia.
The Quarterback is Peter Vann,
stringy, 19-year-old yearling
from Hamburg, N Y. The half
back is Bill Purdue, a 20-year-old
Army brat who is the son Of a
two-star general stationed at An

Vann is Army's ace passer-"He
has a natural arm" says Coach
Red Blaik-but il took a cribbing
scandal and injury to the No.
and No. 2 field generals to give
him his chance.
He came to West Point from a
little upstate high school. He never
figured to be more than a fill-in
or perhaps a jayvee on the Army
squad.
But saturday before a sellout
crowd of 100000, Including Presi-

The three-minute rule, which
automatically awards a fouled
player two shots and gives the
team ahead the advantage, also
went against CIV.

said. "just when they needed it..

Site Now Sought

Plan Would Combine
Aqueduct, Jomoico
And Empire City

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The
New York World Telegram and
Sun said today three New York
race tracks, one of them no longer
active, will be merged into one
spectacular $25 million establish
ment.
Joe Williams, syndicated coll
umnist for the paper, said he had
received the information from
private sources whose reliability
can be guaranteed A decision
will be made in two months, he
said.
The three tracks involved. &C
|cording to Williams, are Aqueduct,
Jamaica and Empire City. The
latter is no longer in operation
but has continuing license held
over from sale of the original
property.
Williams said location of the
super track, which will rival the
Belmont layout. has not been de-
termined but is the object Of q
tSurvey now in progress.
Three Sites Possible.
The site probably will be either
in Baychester, which is in Bronx
County, or at the present site OF
the Jamaica or Aqueduct tracks.
Williams said a central figure
in the proposed project is Jim
Butler, son of the "chain store
monarch" who was the original
owner of Empire City.
| Butler sold Empire City for $2.4
million but retained a license to
operate. He later bought 325
acres in Baychester for the spe-
cific purpose, he said, of building
a modern track.
| Couldn't Build Track Alone.
The columnist quotes Butler as
saying:
when I bought this acreage I
thought I could build the kind Of
track New York deserves on my
own. Now I realize I can't. No
single investor can. A minimum
Iof $25 million is needed.
1.-THE Wicks Committee has
called for merger of the three
tracks and that's how it will have
to be. There is no other possible
solution" r.
The Wicks Committee is Joint
Legislative group assigned to study
the overall racing setup in New
York. 1t was formed in March.
1851, and made its report year
later.
The group urged that Jamaica,
Aqueduct and Empire pool their
resources and erect one king-si
plant.
Butler acknowledged that a sur
vey was being made to determine
whether the plant should be in
the Bronx or on Long Island. Will
Iliams said, adding that Butler per.
sonally preferred his own acreage.
