According to Trainer Carl
Hanford. who supervised Kel-
SOS arrival by van yesterday
from New York, he will not
introduce Kelso to Laurel's
mile grass course until tomor-
row morning after a gallop on
the dirt today.
THE only times that he has
ever had his feet on the grass
is when he's grazing or when
he's laying up for the winter"
Hanford said. II have no idea
whether he'll take to running
on it. I don't know any reason
why he shouldn't handle it,
but we'll just wait and see."

A crowd Of at least 10000
was expected to turn out today
at Laurel Race Course for the
opening Of Maryland's fall
mile-track racing season, with
more than the usual amount
Of interest and excitement
reigning.
This was due to a great ex-
tent to the arrival of Mrs.
Richard du Points Kelso, 1860
horse Of the year who is head
ed for the same distinction this
season.

it not be spread around lest the man be in
the throes of remorse.
Sonny considered this possibility only
fleetingly. Know what think?" he asked.
Il think the guys psyche. For my money,
KelSo can run on the Fourteenth street
bridge"
MEANWHILE, BACK AT the track,
Americas most magnificent neuter arrived
by van promptly at 2:30 pm. yesterday.
Kelso was greeted by dozen news and TV
cameran1en, plus reporters. He was escorted
with flourish to Laurel's barn 27, along
with pony mascot and less-famed thor
oughbred also brought for racing purposes.
Carl Hanford, the ex-jockey who is the
gelding's trainer, viii mot transfer Kelso to
one Of the barns In the International VII
lage Carl isn't snobbish or anything"
Laurels Bill Jaeger volunteered. "He just
wants to keep his two runners and the pony
together and there are only IL or IA stalls
in the Village. We don't know how many
foreign horses we'll stable by November II,
so Kelso will remain in No. 27, probably"
Carl is one Of three brothers who were
jockeys. Babe, who may have been the best
rider, was killed on the track. Ira became
the first apprentice jockey to win the Ken
lucky Derby. This was aboard Bold Venture
in 1886. Carl never was compared with
Eddie Arcaro but he was competent rider
and now he is smartly training the horse
considered the best of his time.
FRANK BRADY, one of the key officers
at Laurel, was talking of Carl Hanford the
other night at President John Schapiro's
press-Tv-radio conference, II remember
Carl at Laurel when he was handling some
pretty cheap horses" Brady said.
"Carl didn't have much to race but he
always operated like big Lacquer. He used
to show up in the mornings, smart in a
black turtle-neck sweater, cap and boots
and he'd ride his horses in their works I'm
glad to see the fellow with horse like
Kelso"
Workman will buy Brady's opinion of
Hanford. Hes helluva guy" Sonny says
of his long time friend Carl "If he didn't
know that Kelso could run on the grass do
you think he'd have brought the horse down
here? A couple Of works on the grass and
he'll be ready"

Nugent Wary of Gomecocks
Despite Their IA Record


Carolina has been getting the
worst Of the breaks every week.
Luck Has Been Bad
Their luck has been so bad. I"
Nugent was saying. that al
most everybody they have
played has punted to them on
third down. The opposition
would rather the Gamecocks
would have the ball, because
they give it away so often in
their own territory"
It could be q dangerous week
for the Terps. There's the
temptation to look ahead to
the home game with Penn
State next Saturday.
In fact. the next three
games after this week are at
home. And by the time Mary
land has another road game,
the seasons finale at Virginia,
the Terps might be steamed
up over the prospects Of q bowl
game. So this is the week
to be careful Of a letdown.
South Carolina doesn't have
any Of the statistical leaders
Of the Atlantic Coast Con-
ference. The Gamecocks are
first in pass defense. but that
is misleading because the OPP
position hasn't been throwing
much.
NOTES-It's a boy for Roger
Shoals. the big Terp tackle
and his wife. Jean. Their g.
pound son was born yesterday
morning at Providence Hospi-
tai, and was named Michael
William. Eddie Bean, the
TerpS' ticket manager. said
fewer than 5000 seats remain
for the Penn State game q week
from Saturday.

start the same team against
South Carolina that opened

A VIRGINIAN WHO DESCRIBES him
self as longtime horseman registers a
protest against the gee-whiz treatment ac-
corded Kelso, whose detractors otherwise
are few if not non-existent.
''If this horse does start in the Inter-
national" writes the gentleman who obvi-
ously feels Kelso might not face the barrier,
'it will be murder. You say Kelso is better
than Bald Eagle, yet note that he never has
raced on grass
This is utter folly Look how Crafty
Admiral, and any number of others, refused
to race on grass. Any horseman will tell
you that you must take proven grass horses
for grass races"
Since no "horseman" was available on
the spot the matter was called to the atten-
ton of the nearest authority with smidgen
of racing background. This was Raymond
Sonny Workman, the retired race rider
with money in the bank and his portrait
in oil hanging in the Hall of Fame.
Sonny greeted the opinion with de-
risive snort
THERE'S NO REASON why the horse
shouldn't run his race on the grass" Work
man retorted Hell, horses are raised on
grass, aren't they? They run on it when
they are little babies"
The inimitable Sonny was asked how
he Jared on grass when he rode good
horse.
"I must have ridden couple of turf
races" he replied, searching his memory,
but can't remember where. They didn't
have much grass racing when was riding
but I know Equipoise could have handled
it in stride. Good horses don't have to carry
their tracks with EN-" Equipoise was Work
mans all-time favorite mount.
What about the reference to Crafty Ad-
miral? In 1858 Crafty Admiral ran 10th
and last in the international that was won
by the French horse Worden H.
Sonny shrugged. $50 the horse didn't
feel like running" he said. "As remember
it, he led for half mile, then flattened
out. Wasn't there any grass on the first
half mile? Anyway, how about Fisherman?
Didn't he win the international the first
time he ran on turf?"
Workman, who is endowed with normal
curiosity, asked for the Virginia horsemans
name. He was told, with the suggestion that

Salesman Tom Nugent is SELL
ing the South Carolina foot
ball team this week, and for
the good Of the Terps' post
season hopes. it is hoped the
players are buying more than
the press.
The Maryland coach and
Bernie Reid, his assistant who
has secuted South Carolina
three times. both made sincere
attempts to build up the Came
cocks at the weekly press lunch
con yesterday. but 1t was OBJ
vious that the audience was
unimpressed.
Nugent and Reid couldn't
take away the facts that South
Carolina has won only one
game. has scored only three
touchdowns all season, and in
the last two weeks has scored
% points to So for LSU and
North Carolina.
However, from q coaches
standpoint, the Gamecocks have
shown enough to make the
Maryland staff wary of the
game coming up Saturday at
South Carolina.
Duke Staged Comeback
Briefly. this is the South
Carolina record:
Lost. 7-6. to Duke on a So
yard march late in the last
quarter after two field goals
had put the Blue Devils behind.
The Duke drive started from a
recovered Gamecock tumble.
Won, 10-7 over Wake Forest.
Lost, 17-14. to the Georgia
team that beat Mississippi
State last week.
Lost, 42-0. to LSU after q
respectable first half. Contin-
ued pass intereeptions and
penalties finally took the heart
out Of the Gamecocks.
Lost. ITO to North Carolina.

terception with two minutes to
play. Until then, 1t was close.

NEW xOhhs Oct. 20 tAfD -
The NCAA: still smarting under
the basketball scandals of last
March, aimed today to tighten
the regulations on college play
ers to the extent that they will
be completely shielded from
outside influences.
The powerful 18-man Council
of the NCAA - a body which
rarely. If ever. is questioned by
the organization. yesterday
adopted four amendments to-
NCAA rules which would tight
en- the holds on college players.
The four amendments win be
presented with the Councils
backing at the annual NCAAI
convention in Chicago January
11-13. They are almost certain
to be passed.
The amendments are:
/. The barring Of all outside
basketball competition, includ-
ing the summer leagues.
Originally" said Walterl
Byers, executive director Of the
NCAA. 'the recommendation
was to bar the players from |
summer competition. But the |
Council heard areport from the |
gambling committee which rec
commended against all outside !
competition. and decided to
adopt it,"
Pre-RegistratiOn Rule
2. A pre-registration rule that
bars an athlete from engaging
in varsity competition until he
has been in residence in a COL
lege two years if he decides to
transfer after registering at an
institution.
I'VE have been concerned
with athletes transferring from
junior colleges and starting
varsity competition, Byers said.
He added that if an athlete
decides to transfer to a college
division (small college) institu-
ton, and the college has not
recruited him the penalty does
not apply.
8. Transfer rule that would
require an athlete to be in
residence in the school to which
he transfers for one year before
he can engage in varsity COM
petition.
4. A recommendation that an
athlete suspended from a col
lege for disciplinary or academic
reasons must complete two
years of satisfactory work to be
eligible for varsity competition
in another school. The present |
rule is one year. !
Two Schools Disciplined
The Council also dealt out
disciplinary penalties to Ohio
Valley Conference schools, Ten
nessee Tech and East Tennessee
State.
Tennessee Tech was placed
on probation for two years and
was ruled ineligible for NCAA
events for one year and NCAAl
television programs for two
years. East Tennessee State was
placed on probation for one
year with no other penalties.

Griffith Raise
Defended in
Suit Answer

The Washington American
League Baseball Club, Inc, has
filed papers at District Court
denying there was anything i'm
proper about voting salary in
creases for Calvin Griffith and
other directors.
The claim came in an answer
filed yesterday by the baseball
club corporation and its treas
urer, Eugene v. Young, to q
suit brought by o minority
stockholder, H. Gabriel Murphy
last month.
Mr.. Murphy, a 40 per cent
stockholder in the old WASH
ington Baseball Club, charged
In his suit that Mr.. Griffith and
other club directors had almost
doubled their salaries without
notifying stockholders.
The suit. filed by Edmund D.
Campbell. attorney. said the in
creases-adopted at a January
81, 1861, meeting Of the five
member board Of directors,
which does not include Mr..
Murphy-amounted to q divi-
dend Of about $101, 500.
Would Void Increases
Mr.. Murphy. in his suit, asked
District Court to rescind the
salary increases, block reported
plans to sell Griffith Stadium
for SIS million and order a
stock dividend Of not less than
$5.45 per share.
In the answer, which bore
only the names Of the corpora
ton and Mr.. Young, the de-
fendants admitted that the sal
ary increases were voted and
that there was no prior notice
to stockholders.
However. the corporation and
Mr.. Young, in papers filed by
Roger Robb, attorney, main
tanned that the directors were
not under any obligation to give
such prior notice to the stock
holders.
Raises approved. according to
Mr.. Robb. were: Calvin r.
Griffith, president, from $40,-
900 to $4,000; Joseph w.
Haynes. executive vice presi-
dent, from $22.500 to $4,000;
Eugene v. Young, treasurer,
from 5000 to $7,500;. Oswald
L. Bluege. secretary-controller
from $4,000 to $25,000.
Also, Sherrard Robertson,
farm director, from $4,000 to
$25,000 James K. Robertson,
concessions director, from Sl4,-
600 to $4,000; William 8.
Robertson, stadium director,
from $4,000 to $25, 900: Howard
Fox, travelling secretary, from
$4,000 to $4,000; Herbert
Heft, public relations director,
from $4,000 to $4,000 and
Charles Lavender. ticket man
ager, from $500 to $10,500.
The two defendants denied
allegations that the directors
action was q fraudulent at

Griffith and the otherdirectors
under the guise Of increasing
salaries"
Raise to $75,OO0
The corporation and Mr..
Young admitted that the stock
holders were not notified later
Of the increases-from $4,000
to SIS, 900 for Mr.. Griffith-but
said the books had been avail
able for inspection.
The answer also admitted
only one actual dividend had
been declared in the last six
years, but it denied that the
