Unusual Rider in Several Ways
81 Winners in p Days Make
Hortock the Talk of Florida
BY the Associated Press

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 24.--William
Hartack's unusual name causes
racegoers a lot of trouble but
his unusual riding style gets re-
suits.
The 21-year-old jockey doesn't
mind if they call him william,
Willie or Bill. and he knows who
they're talking about when they
say 'tHatrack". or "Hardtack."
But when 1t comes to bringing
in the winners. the tall, black
haired rider is the talk Of Florida
tracks. No wonder, for in %
days at Tropical Park he won 81
races.
Hartack thinks his style may
have something to do with his
sensational showing. He rides
with the left stirrup several
inches lower than the right.
I'm left-handed." Willie ex-
plains THAT longer stirrup
gives me better balance, not only
when I go for the rail but when
] use the whip"
Hartack, unusually tall for q
jockey at 5-feet-4, is the second
leading rider in the Nation with
324 winners for the year. In
little more than two years, he
has won 709 races.
Willie has had 164 mounts at
Tropical Park and finished in
the money 81 times, putting him
well in front of his nearest rival,
Frank A. Smith.
The young Jockey grew up in
the coal fields of Pennsylvania
and finished high school at Black
Lick Township, 90 miles from
Johnstown. He knew nothing
about horses until Norman Cor
bin took him to the races as q
youngster in high school.
He rode his first winner at
Waterford Park in October, 1862,
and signed with the Ada L. Rice
stable last April. He doesn't keep
an accurate count on all his
mounts, leaving that to his agent,
Chick Lang. son of the jockey
who won the 1928 Kentucky
Derby on Reign Count.

Brown Says Weather
Will Determine Plans
For Sunday PlaYoff
BY the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Dec. 24.-Paul
Brown, who had his Cleveland
Browns play a very conservative
game last week, says the weather
will determine how the pro foot
ball championship viii be played
of here Sunday with the Detroit
Lions.
"If it's another blizzard with
snow and bad footing. it might
be very much the same" he said
today.
The Lions scored on an IL
yard pass so seconds from the
end of last Sundays game and
beat the Browns. 14r10.
Third Straight Playoff.
The Browns. ahead most OF
the way, threw only six passes
and tried to prevent the Lions
from converting an offensive
lapse into q Detroit touchdown.
For the third straight time the
Browns will be attempting to
stop the Lions from winning the
National Football League cham
pionship. Since the playoffs
started in 1893, no club has won
three straight titles.
Brown, edgy and cautious In
discussing his prospects. made 1t
plain he thought the Browns
deserved to be underdogs. But
at the same time the coach
made it clear his arch rivals
could expect competition.
'Lions Better Last Week"
There's nothing to this talk
about the Lions having q jinx
over u.s." he repeated. They
were just the better team last
week"
"WeU play it out Sunday to
see which is the better team this
time"
Brown pointed out that last
Sundays performance by his star
quarterback, Otto Graham, twas
no criterion of Otto's ability"
You can't judge q passer when
he is not allowed to pass.
So far, the weatherman has
been as cautious as Brown. He
refused to say how the sky and
turf would be Sunday.
The Browns practiced in q
snow-rimmed mass of gooey mud
yesterday. II those conditions
continue through Sunday, Cleve-
lands speedie Ray Renfro may
not get to play. Brown kept
him on the bench last week, ex-
planning that the left half would
be wasted trying to run on a bad
field.
Yet TO Complete Scoring Pass.
Graham has yet to complete q
touchdown pass against the
Lions In two regular season
games and two title playoffs. His
opposite number, Bobby Layne,
pitched for the deciding points
In the last championship game
as well as last week. L.ayne also
had q better day Of it in 1852,
the first time the Lions and
Browns met with the pennant at
stake.
This game might be Graham's
last chance to gain the upper
hand. Now SO years old, ne Is
talking about retiring.
As for stopping Layne. Brown
Is not at all specific. He points
out that q defense IS q team
proposition" He mentions that
Layne the last two times was
throwing q lot for q team COM
ing from behind. But he does
not say what the Browns plan
this time.
The contest between the two
quarterbacks should bring out
their best. Both win be working
against rough opposition. De-
troit has the best defense in the
league this year and Cleveland
was second best.
