"As for Izo at quarterback

was good against the Old
Timers. but his decisions at
times were too delayed, He will

next fall.
Freshman Quarterback Jor-

good intelligence. but is not In

I'VE have plenty Of rough

pass Saturday and had little
continuity on offense."
The Irish used only three
basic formations-the slot, one

the tight T. IT'S the same style
Of attack employed by Kuharich
when he coached the Washing

Did Kuharich find things Just

Rosecroft Has
BiggerCrowds,
More Betting
By DICK O'BRIEN
star stan Writer

Rosecroft Raceway showed
substantial gains today both in
attendance and mutuel play
after the first week of harness
racing at the Oxon Hill plant.
Rosecroft survived racin G
competition from Pimlico and
Shenandoah Downs with the
wagering handle up nearly ID
per cent and an increase IN
attendance of 10 per cent for
the first six days over the same
period last year.
A part of the increase was
attributed to the addition OF
an extra race each night and
the perfect weather conditions
which prevailed. The figures
established the fact, however.
that Rosecroft is solidly en-
trenched in racing in this area
and is in a position to with
stand powerful competition.
Pace Heads Program
The total attendance figure
thus far for six nights of rae
ing is 36,S93, as against 33,469
last season. The total mutuel
play to date is $1,737.159. an
average of S2S9, 526, as against
Sl,472,558 and an average OF
$245,426 in 1858.
With the meeting going into
its secord week the Washing
ton Touchdown Club Trophy,
a $l,400 pacing event, head
lines tonight's program.
Three highly gar d e d
PAGERS, eligible for the forth
coming William E. Miller Me-
mortal May rs. will be tested IN
the Touchdown Club event.
They are Adios oregon, owned
by L. T. Nottingham and c. r.
Bull, of Onley, Va; Hugh
Grants Julia Frost and Cleo
Young's Chancey Farvel.
Trials May Is
Before getting to the finals
of the $4,000 Mile the eligi-
bles must pass the qualifying
trials May Is. Owners and
trainers therefore will be
watching the times of their
charges very carefully in the
pre-trial races. A total of forty
three 3-year-olds have been
nominated for the Miller.
Adios Oregon is going for his
fourth straight win of the sea-
son in the I'd pace tonight.
Adios won $4,000 as 2-year-
old and turned in his last tri-
umph before RoSecroft fans in
2:06.1. Tom Crank viii drive.
Julia Frost. trained by Del
Miller also bowed before the
fans at Rosecroft last week,
winning in 1904.
Chancey Farvels appearance
in the race heightens interest
on two courts. He will be
driven by this well known john
ny Simpson, leading driver If
1857. AS a 2-year-old, he won
$16.231 going to the winners
circle eight times. with one
place and four shows in 10
starts.
