BALTIMORE, May 16.-Wn-
lie Shoemaker five times has
won the national riding cham
pionship, but never has num-
bered the Preakness among his
stakes victories. And he won't
have the opportunity this year.
Trainer Hirsch Jacobs, who
never has Saddled a PreaknesS
winner in a career longer than
Shoemaker's, has decided that
he wants to switch to another
rider for his DR.. Miller in Sat-
urday's 85th running of the
3-year-old classic at Pimlico.
Shoemaker, who was second
in the PreakneSS with Correla-
ton in 1854 and Sword Dancer
last year and eighth with Silky
Sullivan in 1858, finished q
flying fourth aboard DR.. Miller
in the Kentucky Derby and had
been expected to rein the colt
Saturday.
Jacobs son, John, who has
been prepping DR.. Miller at
Pimlico, refuses to criticize
Shoemaker's performance, but
says he and his father are
shopping for another jockey.
DR.. Miller, who won last Sat-
urday's PreakneSS Prep over
two outclassed 3-year-olds, is
a notoriously poor work horse
and in the words of Hirsch
Jacobs needs a strong rider
who knows how to use the
whip"
Tommy Lee, who rode DR.
Miller in the Prep last Satur-
day, has a chance of landing
his first Preakness ride ano
Herberto HinojoSa also has
been mentioned. But Hirsch
Jacobs says that he will wait

Paul Brown used a short-wave
radio to give signals to his
quarterbacks a couple of years
ago. The quarterback had a set
built into his helmet and it
worked fine until somebody
tuned in on the wrong wave
length and the signal-caller
heard soft, dreamy salon music
instead Of Browns crisp, pre-
else instructions.
Dave Slattery, ex-Notre Dame
publicity man who now fills a
similar berth for the Redskins,
was at South Bend for the game
and reports that the new sys-
tenn works well.
1T means the coach is in
direct contact with the man
upstairs all the time" Dave
said. "It saves time, and the
guy upstairs also hears some
very interesting comments
from the field"
Among those not at South
Bend was Harry Wismer, one
time voice of the Redskins,
currently president Of the New
York Titans and a leading
spirit in the founding of the
year-old American Football
League. Wismer's tenure as
broadcaster of the Irish games
appears to be over.
1t is a tribute to their coach,
Sammy Baugh, the old Red
skins quarterback, that the
Titans fare as well as they dc
with their publicity in New
York. despite Wismer. Harry
has the knack of rubbing some
people the wrong way but Sam,
with the help of AL Dorow, his
No. l quarterback last season
and another former Redskin,
helps smooth things over.
Recently Wismer sent out q
publicity release announcing
that Arthur. Susskind, jr.. nc
longer was the clubs publicity
man. Harry informed everybody
but Susskind, who found out
about the change from a

For Life After
Bout on Coast

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16
(AP). - Lightweight Harry
Campbell, an Olympic quarter
finalist last year, battled for
his life after suffering head in
juries in a pro fight last night.
An operation was ordered
early today to relieve pressure
on Campbell's brain caused by
q hemorrhage.
The 23-year-old San Jose
State College student from De-
troit was knocked down twice
in the 10th round of a losing
bout with AL Medrano of Sacra-
mento.
The bell saved him from a
knockout, and then he slumped
in his corner unconscious. DR..
Don Lastrero. ring physician,
ordered the Negro fighter taken
to Park Emergency Hospital,
next door to the Kezar Pavilion
fight scene.
Still unconscious, Campbell
was transferred to st. Luke's
Hospital where Brain Specialist
DR.. Edward Keller ordered
surgery.
Medrano waited anxiously at
the hospital during the opera
ton.
II actually don't think I hit
him very hard. The only time
I hit him at all was In the late
rounds" he said.
Campbell won 106 of 112
amateur fights, including last
years Olympic Trials here, be-
fore turning professional. He
won his first five pro fights
