other three years.
Once II appeared that Curly
Lambeaii. who organized the
Green Bay team in 1919. had
a lifetime job as coach. But
Curly resigned after the 1919
season. Since then the Packers
have had two coaches. Gene
Ronzani and Blackhourn-each
for four-year terms.
Blackburn actually had q
f1ve-year contract, and indica-
tons are that the clubs board

cefved in hiy final year.
Mclean Looks "a Draft
The Packers. plagued by heavy
injuries. finished the 1857 Ma
tional Football League season
with three victories and nine
defeats for the cellar spot in
the Western Division. The rec
ord was the worst compiled by
any Of Blackbourn's teams.
"One OF my big hopes for
next season is that injuries
won't hamper US as much as
they did last year" the az
year-old Mclean said last
night. And with some boys
due to be released from service,
II looks like we have the max
ings Of a real good ball club.
Il want to 90 to work on the
college player draft. but
haven't had much Of an oppor-
tunity TO pick out exactly who

LAUREL TO ENLARGE TRACK
Sensational Italian Colt
Entered in international

Sedan, sensational 3-year-
old Italian bred and owned
colt. has accepted an invitation
for this falls Washington,
D. c., International. which will
have its last running over the
present 7-furlong infield course
at Laurel.
John D. Schapiro, president
Of Laurel Race Course, ap-
proved before his departure for
Europe a plan for rebuilding
both the main dirt track and
the grass course in time for the
1859 season.
Laurel officials plan to do
some preliminary grading this
year in order to have the main
track increased to a mile and
an eighth to make room for a
one-mile grass course.
At one time, Laurel had con-
sidered extending the grass
course by having it cross the
dirt track at the clubhouse
turn, swinging it around the
Evening star., 1958-07-13

present six-furlong chute and
then recrossing the dirt near
the far turn. However, the
plan was vetoed in favor of en-
larging both courses.
Schapiro, who is touring rae
ing centers throughout Europe,
invited the owner of Sedan,
Signora Blanca Verga, to
Laurel after the horse won the
$4,000 Gran Premio di Milano
event at Rome.
Plans call for resting the colt,
which has won eight of IL
races. until the Arc de Tri-
omphe in Paris and then flying
him to the United States for
the International November IL.
