There is a guaranteed payout on the Power Play, so that if no ticket is sold on the five winners, the pot will be divided among those who come the closest to picking all of the winners. Even if there is no bonanza payoff for the Power Play, harness racing fans can enjoy a likely track-record effort at Sportsman's. Staying Together won his semifinal leg eased up, after a rather routine :55.1 half-mile.

In the same field will be Brett's Avenger, who tied the existing Sportsman's record of 1:51.2 in the other semi last week, and also came home under a comfortable hold by driver-trainer Brian Penske. Given good weather and a slightly quicker first half, Saturday's event could produce the first mile ever paced in under 1:50 In Illinois. "It's going to happen sooner or later, and it could be sooner," said Chicago racing guru Mike Paradise, the public relations director at Sportsman's. "With all these great horses, and Stay Together on the rail, it could happen Saturday." Minimum wager for the Pick 5 is $2, and bettors of course may purchase as many $2 combinations as they wish. Pick 5 wagering must be completed prior to the first of the series, which will go off at approximately 8:25 p.m.

McCall accepted the recommendation of a nine-member committee set up to consider more than 200 suggestions proposed to replace "Siwash" as the official nickname of Knox's 20 intercollegiate athletic teams. The college had been under fire by native American groups for using the "Siwash" monicker, which recalled the stories by George Fitch published in the Saturday Evening Post in the early 20th century, but was also a deragatory term for American Indians.
