Move Over, .Bing—Here Is Big John
Henry Is Going Ou Out to Track |p
Saturday to Listen to Tuneful Colt.
By HENRY M’LEMORE 5 United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—Johnstown runs in the Lawrence Realization Stake ‘at Belmont Park Saturday and I, for one, wouldn't miss going out to. hear him.
Yes, “hear” him. If all the reports. concerning the Derby winner are true, his sound effects as he thunders along the back stretch and bangs down toward the wire must be wonderful to hear. The first hint of Johnstown’s musical = accomplishments came back in July when a clocker timing him in ‘a morning workout, said he developed a delightful whistle, not unlike that of Bing Crosby or Morton Downey. Not: long after, when-the Woodward colt was working for the Arlington Classic in Chicago, a stablehand revealed that Johnstown had added to his repertoire and sounded exactly like a saxophone after running three-quarters of a mile. 7 “It’s the prettiest music I've heard since they broke up the Boswell Sisters,” the stablehand told friends.
Merrily" He Rolls Along
~~ But the real flood of reports on iJohnstownss ability to create music while he ran started after his performance ip the classic, which saw him beaten, and badly, by Challedon and Sun Lover. Of the 40,000 spectators that day more than half were amazed, and then delighted, by this equine virtuoso. One man said Fritz Kreisler at his best brought forth. no sweeter violin sounds than did the Woodward colt as hz rounded into the far turn. Another swore he distinctly heard Johnstown play the overture to William Tell as he galloped past the jydges stand. Owner Woodward and trainer “Sunny Jim” Fitzsimmons have heen reluctant to discuss the matter. They admitted to the whistle, I believe, but would go mo further. Either the other reports aren’t true or Fitzsimmons is keeping Johnstown’s talent a secret until he completes vaudeville arrangements for his charge.
Music, Maestro, Please! —
Johnstown’s jockey for the Lawrence Realization has not been announced as yet, but there is a rumor going around that Arturo Toscanini, famed Italian maestro, will have a leg up. Toscanini would be a happy ‘choice if all the stories of Johms‘town’s accomplishments are true. No better man could be chosen to “conduct” Johnstown during the mile and five furlongs toute. He is light (my guess .is that he would weigh in at about 108); he has a great pair of hands, and can hanclle the baton like no one else. I hope he is chosen and that as he brings Johnstown down in front by two or three lengths he and the colt will favor us with some appropriate selection likes, say, the Grand ‘March From Aida , Johnstown’s performance in the Realization will furnish a pretty true line on his condition and whether or not he will be ready to challenge Challedon in the Pimlico Special at Alfred Vanderbilt's track in Baltimore Nov. 1. With Eight Thirty definitely out of the race, the special looks as if it will another of those two-horse grudge affairs of a year ago when Seabiscuit con.quered War Admiral. Swing it, Johnstown!

the emphasis is on screening and deception. In the past Indiana has had to rely a lot on passes, and it still is going to have to count a lot on this sort of an attack. The team has a few hardened crumpet-eared, spadenosed linemen of its own this time, however, and if the boys learn their blocking lessons, the running attack should be better. During scrimmage, the first string has been tear-| ing off tackle thrusts—powie—right through either side of the line that are dandies. On defense the team uses a sixman line with what McMillin calls a “staggered backfield.” This means that the backs move around quite a bit depending on the situation. Following is the complete schedule: Sept. 30—Nebraska at Bloomington (home-coming). : Oct. 7—Iowa at Iowa City. Oct. 14—Wisconsin at Madison. Oct. 21—Illinois at ‘Champaign. Nov. 4—Ohio State at Columbus. Nov. 11—Fordham at New York. Nov. 18—Michigan State at East Lansing. Nov. 25—Purdue at Bloomington (Dad’s Day). That is a tough schedule made even harder by the fact that the boys will be required to play six straight games away from home. They have a training table here for the first time, though, and that has pepped up the morale a lot. It takes a lot of groceries to keep a foothall player at the peak.
