IBM, iHENRY SAYS: MENTOR TO BECOME DIRECTOR Of ATHLETICS No Successor Named as Bruin Grid Chief Announces Retirement After 1938 Season BY BRA VEX DYER William Henry (Bill) Spaulding, football coach at the University of California at Los Angeles for the past thirteen SMITH FAVORS CHANGE OF RIDERS FOR 'BISCUIT "Workman Doesn't Fit Horse," Declares Trainer of Handicap Champion BY PAUL LOWRY Seabiscuit's race in the San Antonio, the ride given him by Sonny Workman, Pompoon's sterling mile and one-quarter workout on Sunday and Amor Brujo's smashing effort over a similar distance yesterday morning were the raging topics of debate at Santa Anita on "Charity Day." I ''y ATHLETIC BODY JESSE OWENS'S FARIS, 28. IP) The International- Amateur Athletic Federation rewrote the track and field record book today. Although United States athletes walked off with most of the honors as the I.

A.A.F. approved thirteen new, standards established by Americans, including Jesse Owens's disputed 10.2s. for 100 meters and Forrest (Spec) Towns's all but incredible 13.7s. for the 110-meter high hurdles, Great Britain snared the most prized individual record that for the outdoor mile. WOODERSON RECOGNIZED This went' to the credit of i 1 y-shanked, bespectacled Sydney Wooderson, who was clocked in 4m.

6.4s. in a record smashing performance at London August 28. Wooderson's time, then, was reported as 4m. 6.6s., a tenth of a second faster than Glenn Cunningham's universal standard of 4m. 6.7s., but it was certified to, and approved by, the I.A.A.F.

as 4m. 6.4s. Owens's 10.2s. for the metric century made at Chicago early in 1936, finally received international approval after an argument of more than a year. It was submitted for approval the same year but was rejected then on the grounds that the track had been a fraction of an inch short.

Remeasurement disclosed Owens had run the full 100 meters and it was recertified by the Amateur Athletic Union (United With one exception horsemen were unanimous in saying that Workman rode the handicap champion perfectly. Such crack riders of other days now training eligibles for the $100,000 classic next Satur dayas Earle Sande and Johnny Loftus said Workman piloted the horse flawlessly. The lone objection came from Tom Smith, Seabiscuit's trainer. "Workman gave Ariel Cross a million dollar ride for us the other day," said Smith, "but I'm not sure that he fits Seabiscuit. You know some jockeys just don't fit certain horses.

POLLARD PERFECT "Jack Pollard was the perfect boy for Seabiscuit. He knew the 'Biscuit like a book, and his injury in the San Carlos cost us the San Antonio the other day. "Seabiscuit would never have been caught going back ever, so slightly at the break last Saturday if Pollard had been on him. Jack would have such a hold on him that it would have been impossible. That's where we lost the race right at the start.

A good break and the 'Biscuit would never have been in the second division going into the first turn. UP TO HOWARDS "I'm not criticising Workman. He was new to the horse, didn't know his mannerisms. Then, too, Sonny is an old head and has his own ideas about how a horse should be ridden. That's why I say that perhaps Workman doesn't fit the horse." "Do you contemplate any change in riders," Smith was asked.

Skipper Truck Hannah and Ccucu carl Diumav were greeted by seventeen hungry pitchers and catchers, who spent the day lolling around the Casa Blanca i Hotel lobby watching the clock it was time for the next free meal. All of the Cherub batterymen showed up for free meals and lodging except Southpaw Ed Carnett and Clyde Lahti, a righthander, who did thoir pitching at Tulsa last season. Both Carnett and Lahti are still dickering with Prexy Dave Fleming of the Angels for bigger and better salaries.

Until they actually sign their contracts the two Tulsa graduates aren't eligible for meals at the Los Angeles club's expense.

Everybody calls him "Ade-j'noid" even though the name 'Aneroid should be familiar to 'anybody interested in the weather and who in Southern -California isn't? but, no matter how you pronounce his name, everybody is talking febout this bold and speedy thoroughbred who beat Sea-biscuit so I thought I'd check 4ip on the fellow.

ABOUT AXKKOII) Actually he's well named, for 'the literal significance of the (word Aneroid, which is derived from the Greek, is "non-liquid" and he's certainly the solid ahorse1 in next Saturday's "Hun-' ncrt Grand" at Santa Anita. 5 When he won the Suburban and then the Carter back East 'last summer one of the bright paragraphers on a New York paper suggested that "there would be nothing to the handicaps until they were operated upon' and Adenoid re-, movefV' It turned out that the surgeon for 1037 was Seabiscuit, 1938 has started out with the patient rising up and operating on the doctor, the popular interest, particularly 'with $100,000 at stake on Saturday. i UNPROMISING START I Everybody seems to know that Aneroid was sold for $300 as an untried yearling from the stable of Jock Whitney. He was bought by Trainer Dion Kerr in 1935 and has never been out of his hands although he was raced in the name of E. Bruner as owner in 1937 and since that 'time as the property of J.

A. As a 2-year-old he started eleven times, won two overnight events and had two seconds and two thirds for a total of $1095 in purses. He didn't win his first ctake until the summer of 1936 at Nar-i ragansett, and that was his only one for the year, which netted a total of only $8830 though he faced the starter twenty-one times. Still that's pretty good for a $300 horse! HE WAS FLYING In April and May of last year 'he got pretty tough, capturing three six-furlong stakes in sue-I cession at Bowie, Havre de 5 Grace and Pimlico. He was 6hut off in the stretch on his next start in the Dixie Handicap he reached the heights in the Suburban at Belmont Park when he raced away from Es-f posa and Rosemont and set a I record for a mile and a quarter of 2.01 3-5, the fastest Suburban I ever authentically timed.

He 1 then won a seven-furlong race in 1.23 3-5 and was finally knocked off by the great Sea-? biscuit in the Brooklyn by a 'photo finish. Lameness put him on the shelf and the rest of his season wasn't bad for a horse not in the best of shape but wasn't good for Aneroid.

At the close of the 1938 season Spaulding will quit coaching and confine his activities to the position of director of athletics. According to Spaulding himself no successor has been selected.

Originally slated to be announced at tomorrow night's annual football banquet on the Westwood campus, word of the new set-up at U.C.L.A. leaked out yesterday afternoon. STATEMENT ISSUED After a hurried conference between Spaulding and university officials, the grid coach made the following statement: "According to the terms of an agreement reached by a commiv tee composed of Deming Maclise, financial adviser of the Associated Students; William Acker-man, graduate manager, and Earl J. Miller, faculty athletic representative; with the approval of Dr. Robert G.

Sproul, president of the university; the Associated Student executive council, and myself, I am to continue as football coach and director of athletics for the coming year. Thereafter I will serve only as director of athletics until the university retirement age." AFTER HIS SCALP Spaulding has been under fire on several occasions during recent years. Last fall there was violent student movement to have the grid coach ousted. Finally alumni joined with un'-dergraduates and a committee was appointed to "investigate the football situation." Whatever actions this committee took were never made public. Dr.

Sproul said he was "delighted that Mr. Spaulding was to remain with the university," recognized his splendid influence upon the young men under his guidance and stated that it was "greatly to our advantage to have him continue at the head of Turn in Page 12, Column 2 checked in at Lane Field. Al Niemiec and Johnny Griffiths arrived from the East. They formed Little Rock's "keystone sack" combination in the Southern Association last year. Lane said Pitcher Jim Chaplin would be here Friday.

Chaplin, ace of the Padre mound staff, telegraphed he was leaving Miami, immediately. Dominic Dallesandro will be here Wednesday or Thursday from Pittsburgh. The only player who has not signed a contract or accepted terms is Infielder Bill Skelley. He wants $223 a month. Lane refuses to pay a player who didn't get af hit in the regular-season in 1337 such a salary.

Burns used a good left -to advantage, scoring repeatedly in the first round. The second round went' one minute and two seconds before Burns was on the canvas with a ten count tolled over him. The titleholder swarmed all over Burns for the short duration of the round and a hard bullet-like right on the jaw crashed Burns to the canvas. He made no attempt to get up. Burns in the first round punched crisply arid accurately, finding the champion's nose and mouth repeatedly, but Armstrong paid little heed, to the blows.

Armstrong's knockout victory was his second since Friday night when he tucked aVay Everett Rightmire in the third round in Chicago. George McDonald Ends Holdout Siege; Signs With Padres With the promise of clear weather, forty-one assembled ski jumpers await the Southland ski jump at the Coliseum tomorrow night at 8 o'clock. Originally billed for Sunday, the spectacle was postponed because of the "unusual weather" which flooded Los Angeles streets, not to mention a few basements. But the hardy ski jumpers laughed at the postponement and said that where they come from the rain was merely regarded as a "heavy dew." Because of the added danger in the event, Managing Director Tom Gallery has doubled his or der of "snow" for the slide. Original order was for 250 tons.

It's now up to 350 tons. The more "snow" the safer it is for the competing skimen. The snow SAN DIEGO, Feb. 28. IP) v-First Baseman George McDonald of the San Diego Padres today announced he had signed his 1938 contract.

"I'm well satisfied," he asserted, but did not disclose terms. Signing of the pact ended a two-week "war" between McDonald and Owner Bill Lane. The first sacker, who had batted better than .300 the past two years, had demanded $500 a month. Because of rains, the Padres were unable to work out today. Manager Frank Shellenback told the men a drill would be held tomorrow if rain lets up.
