3 SPORTS... By Eddie Ash
BRUSHING UP on football of bygone seasons, Wilfred Smith, Chicago Tribune sports expert, discusses a couple of Notre Dame “perfect plays” that stand out in his memory now that a couple of principals in them are camped at Evanston, Ili., prepping for the game between the Tribune College All-Stars and the Green Bay Packers, 1939 pro grid champs, at Soldiers’ Field, Aug. 29. In part, Smith writes as follows: “History does have a way of repeating itself, just as 1t frequently arranges strange coincidences, No better example of sports repetition can be found, in all probability, than is now available at the All-Stars’ training camp. “In daily contact in Dyche Stauidm are Frank Carideo, quarter back of Notre Dame's national chimpionship elevens in 1922 and 1930, and Steve Sitko, universally regarded as the best blocking quarter back at Notre Dame since Carideo’s playing days. “What each of these men calls the greatest football thrill of his career is so similar to the other's that the names of the opposing universities could be interchanged. “In 1830 Notre Dame met the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh. Neither team had been defeated. Pitt had not been scored on. It was the first of a series of crucial games for the Irish, a series completed only when Southern California was beaten, 27 to 0, in Los Angeles “On the first Notre Dame play from scrimmage. a reverse from a back field shift to the left, Marchy Schwartz ran 358 vards for a touchdown. Carideo, with a perfect block, bowled over the Pitt safety man. Before the half ended Notre Dame led, 35 to ©.
Sitko Blocked for Zontini Against Gophers
“EIGHT YEARS later Notre Dame played the University of Minnesota in the Notre Dame stadium. In 1937 the Irish had won, 7 to 6. This return battle was the high point of the campaign in home territory. “Early in Notre Dame's offense, Lou Zontini, Irish right half, shot off defensive right tackle from a shift to his own left. He ran 84 yards for Notre Dame's first touchdown and Sitke, Irish quarter back, did his share in the hard, accurate blocking that made the play perfect against the Gophers’ rugged defense. “Incidentally, Zontini is one of Sitko's teammates on the All-Star squad. Tad Harvey, Bill Kerr, Ben Sheridan and Joe Thesing also played in this game with Minnesota

Carideo served as assistant to the late Noble Kizer at Purdue in 1931 and followed with head coach positions at Missouri and MisEissippi State. “Carideo’s work last fall at Towa, as well as that of Jim Harris, line coach, ably supplemented the direction and inspiration of Eddie Anderson, Hawkeve head coach. All now are sharing in development of the Tribune All-Star squad.

“SITKO went to Notre Dame from Ft. Wayne, Ind, Central High school. In 1837 he received occasional experience, but Andy Puplis, principal running threat for the Irish that fall, also was No. 1 field general. Charley OReilly and Bill Hofer were others “For the last two years, however, Sitko directed the Irish and in this period they lost only three games in 19. fter the All-Star game Sitko will return to his position with the Goodyear Rubber Co. in Jackson, Mich.’ = on

By JACK GUENTHER United Press Racing Editor SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y, Aug. 19.—The story of the old man and his young horse is finished— but the gods of the turf forgot the happy ending. Instead of closing on a note of happiness, the story ends in heartbreak. Instead of closing in victory, it ends in the wake of defeat. And, instead of proudly riding the breeze like a banner of triumph, the green and white silk of Idle Hour Farm droops sadly at half staff today. Bimelech has said goodby to the tracks. Bimelech, of course, is the young horse. A vear ago he was hailed as another Man O'War. The
thoroughbred family was great then; he had raced to six consecutive wins without a defeat; he had earned $135090 in 10 minutes work, and he was the shortest fu-ture-book favorite in Kentucky Derby records. Only once in a lifetime does such a colt come along, and the old man—Col. Edward Riley Bradley— knew his good thing when he saw it. The Colonel had waited 40 years. for this dream horse. He had watched his bright hoops roll home four times at Churchill Downs and dozens of times in the richest races in the land but always he had waited and watched for the one who would be the bast of them all.

All through the summer it went that way and finally when the red and brown shades of autumn coated the countryside the aged Kentuckian left his bed for good. “This is the greatest horse I ever have owned,” he said at the end of the year. “Hs is faster than Blue Larkspur and Bubbling Over and Burgoo King and Behave Yourself. He is so fast that now I challenge any horse in America at weight for age and the owner can name his bet.”

Ridiculed by experienced drivers as an unmanageable freak, Hotsy Totsy III's victories in two out of three heats, practically stunned the crowd of 100,000, and counted for 800 points, enough to put the more highly-tuned boats amongst the also-rans. Miss Syndicate, owned by Horace E. Dodge, and George Cannon's Gray Goose III tied for second with 525 points, but Gray Goose's better elapsed time gave her the edge.

later he was withdrawn from what might have been his climax race. Two hours later the Colonel told the news, Bimelech had seriously injured his foot; he would not appear on the tracks again this year and he might not ape pear again ever, The old man said the retiree ment was just temporary, but as he said it, he knew that they seldom-—if ever—come back. So today in a barn on the fringe of Saratoga the whistling of the stable boys was stilled Bimelech went back into the shadows, his quest for glory over, With him went an old man's dreams that his last horse would be king of them all.
Southwest Proudly Hails Don McNeill
Marble Wont’ Be News Till She's Defeated
|
By HENRY M'LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—Putting sports shot here and there: The Southwest has developed | many a good football team, dozens of crack golfers and occasionally a | first-rate boxer, but as best I re{member Don McNeill is the section's | first top-flight tennis player. By |that I mean a good enough man to {whip Frank Kovacs in straight sets {as McNeill did in the Newport Casi(no tournament . This, by the way, was the second tourney in {which McNeill has won a cup by ‘humbling Kovacs . The decision {of Whizzer White to Join the pro- | fessional Detroit Lions should rank (as some sort of an historical land- | mark. . It was only yesterday [that all ‘America waited for the all{American to announce if he would {accept $15,000 worth of football or ja Rhodes Scholarship. In view of recent international developments, {it is probably a good thing White {had his cake and ate it, too.
Who'll Fight Louis?
It is strange that in this country we have only two great champions, and that one is famed to almost the same extent that the other is ignored. . . . The first is Joe Louis, and I need not introduce him. The second is Alice Marble, and for all the notice she gets she might be a clerk behind a perfume counter in(stead of perhaps the greatest woman tennis player any of us ever has seen, . . . Apparently she is so much {better than her opponents that it {won't be news until she is defeated In Louis’ case the law of supply land demand might just as well be [repealed. Joe is in great demand of opponents, but there is no [supply whatsoever If he acjcepts a proposed offer to tour South he will be the first heavy{weight champion ever to venture {below the equator on this hemi{sphere . Certainly, the gauchos couldn't have waited for a more efficient man to come along. . If you. pride yourself on your skill amateur magician, think of (Jimmy Dykes The Chicago White Sox manager hasn't spent more than a dime for a ball player since Connie Mack first donned his celluloid collar, yet the Sox continue firm in their position as the No. 1 troublemakers of the American League . Just what keeps {them in the first division, I don't ‘know, but if Dykes isn’t using mirrors he must know all the rites of witchcraft or hypnotism or both. . . . Lawson Little dropped by in the {midst of his current exhibition tour {and reported that in Ashtabula and |Seabring, O., and Kane and War(ren. Penn. there is a great increase |in in golf inte interest,
