Bill Haley Is Candidate
To Succeed Passer MaIoy
BY the Associated Prsss

WORCESTER. Mass, Sept. 4.
Bill Haley of Bethesda. Md,
is one of the leading prospects
to replace passed Charlie Maloy
as the Holy Cross quarterback.
Maloy. now a backfield coach
at Boston University. was one of
the country's top passers last
year.
Coach Eddie Anderson regards
Haley and Gene Schiller of
Scotch Plains, N. j., as the lead
ing quarterback candidates. Both
are new to the job. Haley having
been Standout defensive back
the last two years while Schiller
was an offensive halfback.
Haley, a 5-foot-10, 175-pounder,
was team captain and All-Prep
halfback at Gonzaga High in
Washington before coming to
Holy Cross. He made the shift
from defensive halfback to quar-
terback during spring training
and impressed Crusader coaches
as the likely successor to Maloy.

BY the Assoeio,sd Pres,

PHILADELPHIA. Sept 4.-The
Athletics, buried deep in the sec

good reason.

Firemen and Luck
Prevent Added Loss
In Blaze al Bowie

Yesterday was a lucky day for
the Bowie race track, despite
the loss of a $4,000 barn.
Fire burned the empty struc-
ture to the ground, but today
Marty Meyer, track superintend-
ent. could even find some humor
in the situation.
"They sure poured an awful
lot of water on It," Marty said
today. But you know, the boys
didn't mind getting wet-not in
this heat"
Meyer is understandably elated
over the fact the blaze didn't
spread. There were IA barns in
the group that included the
burning one and breeze was
blowing in the direction of the
neighboring buildings. Six horses
were quartered in one of the
nearby barns.
Just plain lucky" Meyer said.
And those firemen did a fine
job. They didn't waste any
time"
Thomas Mullikan, 20, of the
Bowie Volunteer Fire Depart
ment was slightly burned. He
was treated at Prince Georges
General Hospital and released.
A combination of heat and hay
was held responsible.

Line-Backer Shannon
Moved 70 End by Leahy
By tine Assoeiated Press

NOTRE DAME, Ind, Sept. A.
Dan Shannon, Notre Dame line
backer. is being shifted to end
this season in an experimental
switch ordered by Coach Frank
Leahy.
Shannon has been an out
standing line-backer during the
last two seasons, taking over the
assignment in his freshman year
when the first-termers were
eligible. He has had no offensive
experience at Notre Dame, but
at Chicago's Mount Carmel High
School he operated as a fullback.
Leahy indicated Shannon
would be tried as a defensive as
well as offensive end, and not
necessarily be moved to line
hacker on defense.
Shannon contributed the key
play of last years Oklahoma
game. On a fourth-period kick
off he tackled the Sooner re-
ceiver deep in Oklahoma ter
ritory, and the resultant tumble
recovered by Notre Dame led to
the winning touchdown in Notre
Danes 27-21 upset victory.

WARRENTON, Va, Sept. A.
A blend of cash and auld lang
syne will keep the Warrenton
Horse Show in business as usual
this year over the Labor Day
week end. Although the show
has been bounced out of the
American Horse Shows Associa-
tion and the Virginia Horse
Shows Association, $500 in
prize money and some strong
friendships with show people
have brought a better than aver
age entry from the hunter
stables and the very best among
open jumpers.
The show begins at 2 pm.
Sunday, holds a night session
Sunday and runs all day Labor
Day. From the spectator view
point, the big excitement will
come in the clash between
George Di Paula's Lariat and
Harry Ryan's Bedford. Oregon
Duke and other open horses.
These are the best in the coun-
try today in professional horse
show competition.
The hunter lists include a size
able import from Connecticut
six horses from Jean Cochrane's
stable-and a good many horses
which might never appear be-
fore the usual hunter judges.
The gimmick is that regular
AHSA judges are forbidden to
appear at Warrenton, which not
only is an unrecognized show
but was violently de-recognized
by AHSA after the 1852 show
violated the rules and then re-
fused to make amends.
The hunter judges this week
end will be Arthur White, a for
mer show ring rider and hunt
race jockey who is now lead
ing trainer of Steeplechasers,
and Judge j. r. H. Alexander. a
formidable foxhunting man.

New Las Vegas Track
Opening Today With
Observers SkepticdI
BY the Associated Press

LAS VEGAS, New, Sept. 4.
- Thoroughbred horse racing
comes to this already wide-open
gambling town today. but opin-
ion remained ultra conservative
on its success over the long haul
of the 67-day meeting. Racing
will be held on Fridays through
Mondays until December 81.
Barring some last-m1nute tan
gle. such as the many that have
beset the promotion since its
launching more than three years
ago. the Las Vegas Jockey Club
was ready to start business.
There seems no doubt that the
first four days, stretching over
the Labor Day holiday week end.
will be success.
The town is hopping. Seem
tngly it always is. especially on
week ends. But today'S early
hopping undoubtedly was occa-
stoned by the opening of the race
track.
' Many to Sleep in Cars.
The town was sold out and
the most modest quarters
brought SIS a night for a single.
The track even announced that
stranded visitors could sleep in
their cars in the infeld of the
racing plant. IT seemed highly
probable that the invitation
would find takers.
Few seemed to care about the
horse lineup for the racing. For
the record, eight horses were en-
tered in the inaugural feature,
the $4,000 Mirage Handicap at
5l2 furlongs.
The best known horse was Big
Noise. He is owned by Betty
Cradle and Harry James. He
issadored by blond Betty, if not
by. the horse players who have
been backing him at California
tracks for the past several
semesterS.
An AudaciOuS Project.
The main question is whether
the expensive new plant can
prove a success with its ambitious
plans. One observer has called
it AN audacious project" with
its daily minimum purse sche-
dule of $4,000, plus a daily op-
Grating expense of $4,000.
The critics claim it will take
a daily handle of 100000 to
keep it going. Whether it can
do this. playing to population
of under $4,000, or an estimated |
attendance ranging from 1000 !
to $4,000, remains to be seen.
The track also must buck the
various forms of legal gambling
on display in the nearby lavish
casinos.
This week end will hardly tell
the story. The result may not be
known until the meeting ends.
