Excitement at Logansport was “tame” comparea to what happened at Hammond, however. Hammond high’s youthful Wildcats, turning in a holiday-span per{formance that was equaled only by Anderson and Lafayette Jefferson, twice rallied to grab honors in the

Hammond Tech's tough Tigers led all the way until the final minute of the title game. It was 41-37 at that point and Tech, after halting Elkhart’s eight-game winning streak in the afternoon, 43-41, appeared to be the finest schoolboy

This moved the tall Wildcats into third place in the state-wide rankings, behind Anderson and Lafayette (which trimmed Bloomington and Jasper in winning its own holiday event last week) and left the fifth United Press list (wonlost records in parentheses):

Harness Sport Looks Forward To Revival of Stakes in 1946

SYRACUSE, N. Y,, Jan, 2 (U. P.). ~The year 1046 will be known as the golden harvest season for harness horsemen for. $750,000 in stakes, the largest sum ever offered, will be distributed to owners of trotters and

bama’s first stringers had been removed. By far the most outstanding individual perforancé was at Dallas,

With California back in the racing fold after being out of the picture since 1941 due to the war ban on all sports on the west coast, the harness horse people in the. far west ‘plan to outdo the easterners. The Western Harness Racing association, a newly organized group of sportsmen have leased the Santa Anita mile track and plan to dish out $400,000 in purses of which nearly one-half is in stakes, headed by the $50,000 pace and $50,000 trot. While it has not been definitely decided what class pacers will go for the big money, it is likely that it will be for 2:00 wigglers while the rich trot will probably be for 2:13 or 2:14 trotters, according to Ed Keller, racing secretary for the new western body. The Hambletonian stake, the classic of them all for three-year-old trotters, which will be raced on Aug. 7 at Goshen, N. Y., will: be worth $50,000, perhaps a little more or a little less, all depending on the number of owners who will write the $500 check for the starting fee on Aug. 6. Next to these three $50,000 events will be the Little Brown Jug stake No. 1 for 3-year-old pacers which will be raced at Delaware, O. on Sept. 18 and the 54th renewal of the Kentucky Futurity for 3-year-old trotters at Lexington, Ky.
