Fleet NasruIIah
Sets Turf Mark
Nd; 6 furlonaS.

ARCADIA, Calf, Feb. II
AP).-A new American record
for a mile and one eighth on
the grass has been established
by Fleet Nasrullah.
Purchased last December by
E. B. Johnston for $15O,OOO,
Fleet Nasrullah looked like a
good buy at any price yesterday
as he tipped the distance over
the Santa Anita turf in l:464s,
clipping IS second off the mark
set by Poona II here in 1854.
Fleet Nasrullah ran the first
four quarters in 1925, 242s,
1895 and 2425, and at the
eighth pole Bill Shoemaker hit
him one lefthanded whack and
he went the final eighth in
IFS. He won the feature race
wire to wire. He was two
lengths in front of Twentyone
Guns. Whodunit was the show
horse.
Llangollen Farms Royal
Living finished fourth but it
may have been a costly race
for him for he appeared sore
from a traffic jam on the
stretch turn.

Austin Plays Big Role
In CorroII's Success

on the Lions squad. He has
the ability to twist his body
while in mid-air, making it ex-
tremely difficult to get a de-
fenSive position on him.
Gonzaga's Tom Egan tried TO
guard Austin yesterday, and
fouled out midway in the sec
ond period. Egan had made
eight points to keep the Eagles
close at 1924. and his loss was
fatal. There was only an H.
point margin at half, but Aus
tin and Leftwich each got four
baskets in the third quarter,
as Carroll outScored Gonzaga,
27-6, to take a commanding
1898 lead.

AS part OF the expert

of television, and taught
the same unit to another
class without it.
After testing each group,
he hopes to determine
whether the video class
picked up the instruction
faster or more thoroughly
than their colleagues.
While he's optimistic
about television's potential,
Mr.. Rogan feels its useful

never replace teachers, al

tional to them, too.
