And Silky obliged in a mild way. But the traffic was too heavy up ahead and the quality a bit too much. Tim Tam won by half a length in the leisurely time of 2 05 and paid $6.20, $3.80 and $3 Lihcoln Road, a rank outsider from the barn of the Sunny Blue Farm, was 2nd, rewarded certain delirious backers with a payoff of $26 80 and $1140 The lightly regarded Noureddin, of the Crabgraxs Stable, was 3rd and paid $5 60.

Jockey Ismael Valenzuela, substituting for broken-legged Willie Hartack on Tim Tam, paced the beast beautifully to come from 4th at the head of the stretch and wear down Lincoln Road, who had not won a race since May 29, 1957. Though the margin was narrow the issue never seemed in doubt. They and the fast closing Noureddin, son of Noor, made it a 3-horse race at the end of the run for the blanket of roses, the cup, the glory, the winner's parse of $116,400, and the $11,640 bonus for the jockey who In this case was bbm In Texas, reared In Mexico and Is one of 22 children. van, Mrs. Elizabeth Arden Gra hams Jewel's Reward.

Astride him, like sn effigy In mud, was Eddie Arcaro, his dream of winning his 6th Kentucky Derby shattered ss well as splattered. As for Silky Sullivan, Shoemaker later said, "he ran vor ortly an 8th of a mile. The official chart did not give him even that much credit. It read, while saving ground until final turn, where he made only a brief and ineffectual bid of less than 118 mile and refused to extend himself thereafter. Silky, who had lent so much pre-race glamor to the scene, was beaten by the likes of Martins Ruler, a 43-1 shot, Chance It Tony, a 245-1 shot, A Dragon Killer, a 294-1 shot.

Gone Eishin, who would have paid 20-to-l, Bendicto, 59-1, Ebony Pearl, the other half of the Maine Chance Farm entrv, and something railed Red Hot Pistol, regarded by the crowd as no better than a 59-1 chance. Finishing 12th, Sijky beat only C. V. Whitneys Flamingo, a nonwinner, and Warren who eased up after a mile. The closest the glamor horse came during his brief and reluctant spurt as 11th.

Mrs. Markey would also have seen a minor milestone in Derbv Ivan Parke, trainer of Reward, rode the load 'colt and Jockey Ajcaro to the area of the start. With one colossal bellow the crowd announced to the world that the 14 had edme catapulting out of the gate Starter James Thompson had got them away like a 14-horse team Chris Rogers. on Lincoln Road, took his long shot to the lend as instructed bv Trainer V. Sovinski, and he kept the hoise there for a good mile and an eighth.

It was a noble effort which won loud praise of the other lockevs after the race Rogers, Canadian born, said later of Lincoln Roud. He ran a terrlfir rare, even though hr as beaten. The colt seemed to stumble about 70 yards from home, but actually we were outrun in the last 20 yards. To win, Valenzuela, who was seeing his first derby, had to lav the whip on Tim Tam with some enthusiasm. He let Lincoln Road, Gone Iishm and F.bonv Peail lead him for a mile.

Arcaro went past him bnefly at the heart of the stretch, tending to squeeze" him into the rail Valenzuela checked the headlong dash of Tim Tam for a few steps, then with rare skill got him going again with the whip and a word of assurance. He won dnving," as they say in racing. Bjr Bob Cotuldine. LOUISVILLE, Ky. (INS) 31m Tam, a hulking 3-year-old yho loves to play In the mud, gave his ailing mistress a wonder cure for her pneumonia Saturday by winning the $160,000 Kentucky Derby.

It was Calumets 2nd straight Derby victory, the 7th over the years. Silky Sullivan, the California wonder horse who shared the favorites spotlight and was cheered by the 100,000 racegoers he stepped on the muddy track for. the mile and a quarter classic, could beat only 2 horses in the field of 14. While Mrs. Gene Markey watched her Tim Tam win on the television set installed in the Lexington, bedroom where she is down with pneumonia, Silky Sullivan wasn't even in the picture, figuratively and literally.

At one point during the mud-plattered cavalry charge, 84th in the history of Americas greatest race, Silky was last by 25 lengths.

SporU Writer IOWA CITY Scheduled to be left for dead by thcdime the final quarter started, the grads scoied the games last 16 points here Saturday and provided a lively afternoon for Iowa's 1958 varsity football team A rain-punkled crowd ecti- mated at howled in lugh i i da7le Literal foiward lateral plav that Mcpt the alumni 5.J nrds and the final touchdown just 37 M'ionds befoie the finish A 7, ALUMNI STAG LINE ESCORTS VARSITY'S LEADING.MAN Bob Jeter (dark Jersey) was the Iowa var-lity's leading ground gainer Saturday, and it often took more than one alumnus to bring him down.

I )ld grads line up for their turns. Identifiable alumni are Eddie Vincent (middle) and Dorn Sgro (69). of a 28-24 game. There were suspicions that Coarh Forest Evashevaki could have made it a murh longer afternoon for the former Hawk-eyes, but he ehoae to test most of his varsity squad member. And the old grads were permitted to stretch their "pro rules a bit by taking uncounted timeouts and using all the time they needed to put the ball In pla.

The erowd was estimated at 15,000 but many hundreds of them got in free. Due to rather shocking short-sightedness, there werent half enough ticket-seller on duty befoie the game. When thousands of eager customers queued up in front of the windows, it meant those at the end of the line were going to be late getting in to see the fun.

So when the supply of tickets also ran out, the gates were opened and many fans were permitted to enter free. The performers on the gridiron, however, made certain this game will be an annual affair by providing some fascinating entertainment. Much as the fans were hoping to see another bristling low varsity a-building for this fall, they couldnt help but root for the C8BADEB oldtimera whose numbers they knew best. And when the varsity got out In front by 20 points, the sympathy wung sharply for the old grads. Coach Forest Evashevskt says he hopes the game can be played every year.

He treated the oldtimers to a party Friday night, and found a lot of personal enjoyment in seeing his former stars again. New Rule Gets A Workout People who have had an eye on college footballs new extta-poinl rule since the change was made in January can gather plenty of ammunition from Saturday's game. We predicted 4 months ago most college teams would go for the pass or run on conversions this fall, trying for the 2 points Instead of the one that is offered for sneressful kicks. All 7 conversion attempts Saturday were by passing or running. It is likely, however, that the alumni would have tried placekick if they had scored first.

But once behind by 20-0, they had no choice but to keep going for the 2-pointers. And look how It turned out: The alumni lost by 4 touchdowns to 3, but were only 4 points behind at the finish. Had they scored again just before the end they would have won by least 30-28 because the varsity missed half of its 2-point tries. But it lends speculation to the game, and in that light I suppose it's an interesting addition to the game. But Id hate to be a coach and lose a game by one point.

The alumni really would have something to chew about then. Pass the Hash The varsity was shy 4 halfbacks and an end it hopes to have on the varsity this fall. The end is Fred Long, who plays on the baseball team. One of the halfbacks is Bill Gravel, last years regular left half. Hes not out for spring ball because he must concentrate on his studies to be eligible again.

Halfback John Brown is on the track team, and Halfback Kevin Furlong plays baseball. The other halfback is a freshman, Bernie Wyatt fi'om Amityville, N.Y. He suffered a knee injury and has had an operation. i 0 That's some station wagon the former Iowa swimmers and I club members gave to Dave Armbruster, Iowas retiring swimming coach. It was wheeled onto the gridiron at halftime.

Daves a wonderful guy and, although hes been around Iowa City since the Lewis and Clark expedition went through, hes remained one of the most popular men on the campus. Hope you enjoy your retirement in a car like that, Dave! COO I thonght the officials were right In reversing their decision on the alumni lateral-forward-lateral pass play that netted their final touchdown. The official who ruled the ball dead when Jerry Reichow fumbled the first pass from Kenny Ploen apparently thought it was thrown forward, but it wasnt and Ill wager the movies will prove it. Had it been a forward pass, of course, It would have nullified the play when Jerry dropped it. But he picked it up and fired the long toss to Jim Gibbons.

Gib reminded us of last year's great catches When henailed it, and I've never seen faster reactions in getting off a lateral to Mike Hagler. Its a play the folks will alk about for many moons, and it left a good taste in everybodys mouth in looking forward to next year's games. And one of these years the alumni Kul knock off the varsity, wait and see! 0 We said recently that Coach Forest Evsshevski is a gridiron magician but he cant pull big tackles out of his hat. Well, he started off Saturday with 2 tackles that averaged more than last years regulars. Alex Karras and Sleepy Klein weighed 230 and 250, respectively, in 1957, but now Mac Lewis and John.
