BE A IE MHJLIGAN To be completely' corny about the whole thing, there is a house in Canoga Park with a whole Tubb- ful of athletes! It belongs to Leah and Irvin Tubb and in it they house their nine children, most prominent of whom at the moment is 18-year-old Brent, a senior at Cleveland High School, who goes about the neighborhood knocking "middle-distance track records into sidewalk trash cans. I much prefer to leave details of that house to more expert hands in the real estate department and confine myself to the human architecture so wonderfully executed by a guy and gal who first met when they -were kids at Shelbyville High School in Illinois, where she was cheer leader and president of the- Girls'vAthlet- MILLtGAN ic Association and he was" state high school niile track champion. So, you see there's precedent for all this track and filed activity so prominent among their progeny. I will try to skip lightly over Brent, since he was the subject of a recent dissertation in this space and has done' nojthing subsequently to prove I was anything but right, even though his mother was angered' to the point of nearly writing me a protest letter because I inferred, humorously, I thought, that a two-minute mile is in the offing. Suffice to say that while I was conversing with Mrs.

Tubb by phone, she was voicing some asides to one of her children, asking, "Brent, what was your exact time in that last cross-country?" "Brent, would you please see who that is at the front door?" Naturally. I assumed Brent was having a day of rest. Little did I know two hours later he would be winning the mile run in East Los Angeles, with every available member of his family in the stands. But that's the Tubb family for you action every turn of'the wheel. Seven of these children are boys, but before detailing their interests and accomplishments, I had better point out that the two girls, Peggy.

27, and Becky, 11, are the types who yell and scream and cheer and jump up and down and might even be called carbon copies of their mother, who has been known to knock spectators accidentally from their seats in understandable enthusiasm rooting for her brood. Becky, by the way. can run a mile with ease but prefers the cheering department. In this day of screams for women's lib, she could turn out to be the world's greatest miler. Who knows what the future holds? Mr.

North Hollywood High School and Valley College split end Brian Baima has just completed a highly successful spring football practice season at The Citadel, a military school in Charleston, South Carolina. During four intra-squad games, Baima had 31 receptions for 559 yards and seven touchdowns. Baima drew much favorable from coaches and members of the local press, including praise from coach Red Parker, who said, "Brian Baima is our most split receiver and has had an excellent spring." Baima played under George Goff for two years at Valley College before turning down offers from several California schools to enroll at The Citadel. He was the first junior college transfer to enroll there without being obligated to be a member of the military. As a starter last football season, he caught 14 passes good for 341 yards and three touchdowns as Citadel finished second in its conference with a 4-2 record.

To owners and trainers at Hollywood Park, happiness is a visit to Marion Hodel's office: Hodel's official title is Paymaster of Purses; and it is from his. office that horsemen collect purse money their horses have won. "It's what you would call an Accounts Payable setup," explains the likable Hodel of the Paymaster of Purses operation. keep a record of what we -owe the horsemen in terms'of purses, or what they owe us in terms of jockey fees, starting fees, entry fees, nomi- a i miscellaneous charges and so forth. "Everyone who starts a horse at the meeting opens an account with our office.

Winning purses are credited to their account and conversely, debits are charged to their account. "Purse money is available to horsemen almost i lately after the race. They can either take the check on spot- or have it credited to their account. It's an up and down thing, but usually the money flows in and out pretty good." Hodel explains that only -an owner, or an owner's authorized agent, usually the trainer, can draw on an account." Hodel, who only last week celebrated his 60th birthday, is in his 19th year as Paymaster of Purses at Hollywood Park, a post he also assumes during the Santa Anita meeting. No one is more enthusiastic about his job than Hodel.

"I like meeting people, because in this job you're dealing with them almost every minute. Accounting is generally a dry subject, but keeping the horsemen's accounts such as we do here is much more interesting. "You see the real ups and downs of the game from my office," says Hodel. "I remember the Cinderella horse Tempestuous, who was claimed and went on to win the Hollywood Derby 15 years ago and then broke down after the race. "Then there was Light, ning Jack, who upset Round Table on an off track at Santa Anita and then went some 50 or 60 races before finally winning again in a ing race.
