Johnny ongdenAims
AT Fourth Triumph
In Santa Anita Derby
BY the Assoeiated Press

ARCADIA, Calf, Feb. 10
Jockeys Johnny Longden, Eddie
Arcaro and Ralph Neves will
hardly be strangers to the win
ner's circle Saturday if either
rider brings in the victor in the
100000 Santa Anita Derby.
Longden, who last week cele-
brated his 43d birthday, will be
aiming at his fourth Derby tri-
umph at Santa Anita Park when
he goes postward aboard the
probable favorite, Decorated.
Longden brought On Trust in
on schedule In the 1947 Derby
and made it two straight the
next year aboard the late Will
liam Helis' Salmagundi. He won
with Your Host in 1850.
Decorated. owned by Andrew
Crevolin of nearby Alhambra,
remained the top colt today in
pre-race calculations. His frs
places in the San Gabriel Stakes
and San Felipe Handicap earned
him the role.
Arcaro hit the Derby gold in
1881 on Mrs. Francis Genter's
Rough n Tumble, and Neves
scored on H. c. Hills Sweepida
in 1910.
Arcaro is booked to ride the
Calumet colt. Chanlea, this
time. Chanlea won the San
Vincente Stakes and ran second
to Decorated In the San Gabriel
and San Felipe events.
Neves has the call on a Cali
fornia colt, De ANA, owned by
the Springhill Stable, a two time
stakes winner this season.
The lineup promises at least
nine colts in the 11s mile race.
Invigorator, Merryman, Social
Outcast, Book Circle, Boo Who
and Correspondent are other
probable starters.

Newt Oliver, tiny Rio Grande

headaches: He faces a possible
legal suit for breaking a con-
tract with Oakland City College

won't play Oakland City even If

Ticket Sale Assures
Football at Fordhan1
BY the Assoeicted Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-Ford-
ham University, which reputedly
lost $4,000 in football last sea-
son, has decided to continue the
sport in 1868 because of the gen.
erous response of alumni to an
appeal to buy season tickets.
There had been considerable
speculation whether Fordham,
once one Of the great football
powers, would continue in the
game.
Fordham has arranged a nine
game schedule and Coach Ed
Danowski said he expected his
team to be "better of" than last
year because of the presence of
more than a dozen two-way play
ers on the team. This was in
reference to the new rule limit
ing substitutions. Last year Ford
ham won two. tied one, and lost
five.
A statement by the Council on
Athletics said the decision was
reached after a thorough study
of the effect Of football on the
student body, faculty, alumni and
friends of the university.
1.-THE generous response Of the
alumni to the appeal for pledges
to buy season tickets was most
satisfactory" the statement said
1.-THE students also expressed
their eagerness for the continue
ance of football by spontane-
ously submitting pledges to sup

England downs.
Let's hope so anyway. That
may be too much to expect Of
a one-time nitwit horse.
Cousin has travelled q long
way since last year, but he's
been going in the wrong direc-
ton. Early in 1852 he was a
well-regarded hopeful for the
Kentucky Derby and his future
in the stable of Alfred G. VAN
derbilt looked bright.
All he had to do was behave.
Cousin did just about everything
but behave.
After winning one Of the top
races for 2-year-old in 1851,
he spent the next year kicking,
baking. trying to Jump out of
starting gates. standing when he
should have been racing and rae
ing when he should have been

His vile disposition and stub
bornness made him one Of the
most discussed horses In Ameri-
can racing.
Now Hacking About"
In the hope Of Installing, man
ners and removing shenanigans,
Vanderbilt sent Cousin to Gerald
Balding, who runs a quiet stable
near Devices.
Cousin arrived in England late
last year and Balding knew what
to do with the brown colt whose
sire was the French horse Priam
and whose dam was My Auntie,
now dead.
Balding said the best thing to
do was get Cousin away from
it all"-i. e., all the hoopla of
American racing and race tracks.
He mounted an exercise man
and sent Cousin away every
morning for two-hour canters
over the sod and through the
quiet English countryside.
That's what Balding calls
hacking about"
Balding says he's not ready
yet to announce a verdict over
Cousins cureability.
