To Strengthen
Del. Park Stakes

In an endeavor to strengthen
the individuality Of its stakes,
and particularly the Delaware
Handicap and the other filly and
mare events which have become
SO famous, Delaware Park has
made a revision of conditions
governing its stake races, par
ticularly those which feature the
meeting, according to an an
nouncement from President
Donald P. Ross. Emphasis will
be continued for the support Of
thoroughbred breeding, and filly
and mare races.
For 1864 there will be four
filly and mare stakes, instead Of
three, and they will be divided
into pairs to emphasize the de-
velopment Of three-year-olds on
the one hand; and to reward out
standing older horses on the
other. The new stake has been
named the Rosenna in honor Of
william duPont's winning filly of
1887 who was the first winner Of
the Delaware Handicap in that
inaugural year.
The new Rosenna, carrying
$4,000 in added money, will be
a prep for the $50, 900 Delaware
Oaks, and these two races will
be coupled so that a single entry
will entitle a horse to start in
both Of these three-year-o d
races.
Likewise coupled will be the
New Castle and the Delaware
for three-year-olds and up, but
with emphasis on older mares,
and a single nomination will en-
title a horse to start in both.
The added money will be $50, 900
and 500, 900 respectively. These
changes we're made because Of
the reluctance of trainers of
three-year-olds to run against
the older mares at a mile and a
quarter in the month of July.

1--WE still have to improve in
q lot of ways" says Oklahoma
Coach Bud Wilkinson.
Maybe so, but knocking off

"We've still got eight games
to CO." the Sooner coach
reminded.
Maybe so, but seven of them
are with Big Eight teams,

It took Wilkinson about five
minutes to overcome his ella

Sanders Unsung Hero
Of Redskins Victory

Lonnie Sanders, rookie de-

hero yesterday in the Red
skins 21-17 victory over the
Cowboys. At different times
during the sunny afternoon he
had to defend against Billy
Howton and Frank Clarke, two
excellent pass receivers, and he
did well.
But the big play, the one
that possibly saved the day and
the victory, was the one that
resulted in Jim Steffen's third
interception-a tipped ball on
a pass from Don Meredith to
Clark. Steffen called report
ers' attention to it in a dress
ing room interview.
III take credit for the inter-
ception," Jim said, with a big
grin, but Lonnie's the one who
made the play. He left his
man and came over to help me
on it."
BY the fourth quarter Stef-
fen's bad knee was slowing
him up. Dick James had come

Crabb. but Dick moved into

his first appearance there
since last season. 1t also meant
that on this particular play
Jim had to cover Clark, and 1t
developed into an "over" pat
tern with Clark running at
top speed to the opposite side
of the field. Clearly, it was a
tough spot for a fellow with
one good leg.
Sanders man was Howton, a
shrewd veteran who knows all
the angles. He had Bill COW
cred when he saw Clark make
his move, and Lonnie sized up
the situation instantly. He left
Howton, came over fast and got
to Clark just in time to thrust
a hand in front of the ball. 1t
ricocheted into the air, came
down in Steffen'S willing hands,
and the Cowboys hopes came
down with it.

Coach Bill McPeak said he
was surprised the Cowboys
didn't use Eddie LeBaron some
at quarterback.
Looking back on his past
performances" Bill added, I'm
glad he didn't get in. But I
thought Meredith played a
whale of a game for them. He
completed a couple of passes
with our guys hanging on to
him or breathing down his
throat. He really fought them
and I think he has great po-
tential."
McPeak agreed that the Red
skins looked pretty bad in the
first half because they never
got unwound" and there was
no coordination between the
passer and receivers" There
was no change in strategy in
the second half, he added, but
that the team merely pulled
itself together and began to
click.
Norman Snead echoed the
coach's theory.
