THE BROOKLYN CITIZEN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 193G. Page Six Yale Made 8 to 5 Favorite to Win Over Navy Eleven at Baltimore Today GREEN WAVE MAY WASHOUT RED RAIDERS TO-DAY Probable Winners At Jamaica Today Eli Outfit Is Expected To Be Bit Too Smart For Uncle Sams Tars By HENRY McLEMORE BALTIMORE, Md. Oct. 17. In this city of terrapin soup, Misten Menken and white marble stoops, the Yales play the Nays to day and the little boy blues are favored And youd never guess wh.v No, never! The Y'ales are favored because everjbody, including those cynical gentlemen who lay the odds, consider them very smart.

The Yales are 8 to 5, to be exact, and the planation ever one gives is that the Y'ales, even though they are not blesed with any too much man power, are heavy in gray cell content and figure to outfox and out-think the sailors. This Is a ery high compliment to Coach Ramond (Duckv) Pond Count Arthur Picked To. Win Getaway Day Feature at Jamaica By JOSEPH MARTIN Racing comes to an end on Long Island to-day where the curtain drops on the fall meeting of the Jamaica racing season. Monday the scene shifts to the popular Empire City track at Yonkers, where a twelve-day meeting will be inaugurated yith the $4,500 New Rochelle Handicap as the opening attraction. Featuring the getaway program at Jamaica to-day is the $5,000 Continental Handicap, mile and a sixteenth, for three-year-olds and up.

Ten stake horses have been named for this event. Despite the torrential rains a big crowd is expected to turn out for the last races. Mrs. John Hertzs four-year-old Count Arthur, winner of the Jockey Club Gold Cup, stands out as the likely winner. Last year Count Arthur was runner up to King third In a Clasa Handicap last out, behind Our Reigh and Corundum.

ARD-NA-LOCH RETURNS $2140 AT MINEOLA Tigers Big Favorite Over H. of P. On Penns Sixtieth Anniversary PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 17 The University of Pennsylvania will celebrate its sixtieth anniversary of Intercollegiate football competition this afternoon on Franklin Field, when Princeton opposes the Red and Blue in this city for the fiit time since 1893 In November, 1876, twenty under graduates of the University of Pennsvlvania who had been practicing the new game for several weeks challenged Princeton to a game. The Tigers accepted and the date was set for Nov.

For it was not so long ago that the Yales were considered the dumbest foot ball club In the East And rightly so, for It was not many years ago that Yale had the best material in the East, but because of a profound Inability to think, usually wound up on the short end of the score when playing a team with enough1 "savvy" (thats New Haven for the( gumption) to keep moung right direction Yale quarterbacking xvas pretty awful until Mister Pond and Mistei I Neale arrived on the scene Watch Ing a Yale quarteiback woik al ways gave on the impression that New Haven field generals were ere ated by hitting a slow-thinking guard over the head with a ham me rtwice, in fact. And the plays the quarterbacks were given to use werent much better. They were about as subtle as a burlesque, as well thought out as a six-year-old treatise on Einstein and his theory Wholl ever forget the strategv which devises the plas which called for Fullback Crowley to run inter ference for Albie Booth9 Crowle weighed 200-plus and moved with ill the alacrity of a poutish water buffalo. Booth, a midget witn the speed of a grej hound, used to spend the entire afternoon running up Crowleys bc in an effort toj get past the man assigned to clear his way.

This year they say its different And that the Yales know all the answers and when to give em I hope so It will be a pleasuie to see a Yale team that knows its way about. Still I like the Navy. Yeah 1 ke the Navy to win. I think the sailors are very nearly as smart as the Yales and a whole lot tougher Knute Rockne once said that of all the teams Notre Dame had eer played, Navys came closer to giv ing all It had, win or lose And that still goes When Navy is licked its only because the bes it had, every bit of the best it had wasnt enough That sort of team takes a lot of licking As for the rest of the country and we nit twelve out of thirteen last week, if you don mind a por tlon of brag, It looks this way Army over Harvard, Princeton over Penn, Dartmouth overMrown Duke over Georgia Tech, Rice over Georgia, Alabama over Tennessee Nebraska over Indiana, Ohio State over Northwestern, Minnesota over Michigan, Notre Dame over is consin, Marquette over Kansas State, Texas over Eaylor Southern Methodist ovei Vandcibilt Sou rn California over Washington i 1 I i 1 i I AMERICAN RANKFR Nw York ln.vers.tv and Inher- North Carolina will meet this afternoon at 2 30 clock on the Yankee Stadium gridiron be the first game It will between these schols and the first grid contest for in New York City The game will be the first of a series of three games scheduled for 1936, 1937 and 1938 between New York University and the Southern school North Carolina rules a big favorite To-dijs game will be the first tilt between North Carolina and a Northern rival in eight years The Tar Heels visited Cambridge in 1928 and bowed to Harvard Uni versity Rav Bear Wolf th North Carolina coach was formerly con nected with the coaching staff at Texas Christian University He took over the coaching reins at Chapel Hill last spring New Yoik University bowed to Ohio State University in the opening game at Columbia 0 to 60 and last week-end the Violet defeated the rugged Pennsvlvama Militarj College tea mat University Heights 26 to 0 The North Carolina eleven the Tar Hee 3 lllle the violet, only lost one game wrr i iv to Trade Dizzy Dean ST LOUIS, Oct IT Dizzy Dean returned to St. Lduis jesteidav rafter a tour to the Pacific Coast and stated he had done nothing so far about his 1937 contract with the Cards Sam Breadon, president of the club, said he has not yet planned to talk business with his ace hurler He reiterated howeer that he would trade Dizzy "or any of them if we thought we could enhance our pennant chances for 1937 the transac'ion I7TI? f'OWRGVQ I (jv 1 1 I IJ in 1935 and this season the Tar Heels have won from Wake Fore 14 to 7 Tennessee, 14 to 6, and Maryland 14 to 0 IN CLOSE FIGHT AT THE RODEO Square Garden on Oct 7 There were 14 337 spectators at last night contests The winner of the steer wrest ling was Rube Roberts of Fort Worth Texas who dived from his horse and twisted his steer to the ground In eight and two fifths sec onds Seven of the ten covvbojs who attempted to ride bucking horses in last night bareback bronk riding contest were bucked off and only two of those who did stay on qualified for prize monej The winner was Peter Grubb, of Salmon Idaho, who rode a horse called "Alonzo Paul Luffman, of Lewiston Idaho, who rode "Bernie was second Everett Colburn, the arena director of the rodeo, who sufferad a fracture of the left arm Thursday night when he was kicked by a wild Brahma cow, Was back in the arena last night with his arm in a sling but was unable to ride a horse.

Saxon In this renewal King Saxon's tims was 1 43 3-5, the fastest In the history of the race. It matters little to the Hertz racer whether the track is fast or slow, he runs equally well on both Ran smashing races in the Saratoga Cup and Manhattan Handicap, and despite the 115 pounds assigned him should click again to-day. Most of the opposition is likely to come fro mThursday. The winner of the 1935 renewal of the Riggs and Bryan and OHara Memorials handicaps, has finally reached the peak of his son. The seven year-old son of Mars and Pretty Day ran an Impressive second to Snow Fox, victor of seven straight races.

Thuisdays late form indicates that the veteran Is back in form The muddy track favors him. He In with five less pounds. This Is a light burden for him. Other starters Include, Ann O'Ruley, Fair Stein, Esposa, Jesting, Steel Cutter, Rust, Split Second and Whizzaway. As a secondary attraction, Racing Secretary Jack Campbell offers the Finite Handicap, Class D.

Stepped the half In 491-5 In final preparation. The test of the field includes Shining Sun, Pompey's Squaw, Captain Jinks, Deduce, Old Story and Count Stone. Crystal Prince Is the favorite In the Class Handicap, third race on the card, for three-yenr-olds and up, at a mile and seventy.

Ran graphicgole Stance open. FEET CUKE TOGETHER, KNEES Slightly bent Ball hit DESCENDING BLOW OFF Right foot 8-4 CHIP SHOTS The shorter the shot the less body turn one uses in golf. In the short chip shot above Bobby Jones does not employ a great amount of body turn to be sure but nevertheless he allows his body to move freely with the stroke to avoid tension. For Instance, with his feet close together In the stance and left heel flat on the ground during the stroks he is able to let his hips pivot smoothly with the stroke because of knees, which are bent slightly outward The clubshaft shorter than the driver, allows him to stand nearly over the ball. While the hands take the club back In a half arc the arm movement typical of the pitch shot Is missing.

In the chip shot the arms move slowly and semi stiffly onto the ball, the right elbow rather rigid and kept close to the body. The open stance allows the clubhead to be brought across the ball from right to left. This gives the ball not only loft but a left to right spin which will tend to stop It quickly. When the ball 1s too close to the cup to apply backBpin the short clip with spin will ofen fill the bill. (Copyright.
