SPORT SIGNALS By Hal Brown Sports Editor, The Star Guaranteed Race Happenings With the opening of the Nebraska racing season today at Grand Fonner Park, there are certain things you can count on happening in the next seven months. Guaranteed to happen: who ranks second only in popularity to Bob Devaney in Nebraska, will lose his first couple of starts and members of his fan club will scream that he is being assigned too much weight. bettors will fare Just as well the first two weeks as the Racing Form readers since many of the horses competing at Fonner have not been running since last fall. and jockeys will be complaining of the cold during the first week at F'onner. These complaints will have changed to grumblings about the heat by the time the horses reach Lincoln.

run into at least one person per day who will claim he has talked to a Jockey and knows that Rip Tide is a sure winner in the sixth race. friend will send two dollars to the track with you to bet on Summer Sun in the seventh and by the time the seventh race is run you have exhausted your money supply plus your two dollars. Summer Sun will then win and return $15.40. writers, officials and fans in Omaha for the College World Series will leave a bundle of money with the folks at Ak-Sar-Ben. in small towns located near the race tracks will come to a standstill during that racing dates.

disgruntled bettor w'ho has failed to pick a winner for five straight days will start rumors that the horses are being doped. truly will vow that he is going to the tracks only when it is his days for writing about the nags and will vow that he is not going to bet even on those days, then wind up buying a couple of tons of hay. state will get money not only through the betting windows but also through county court windows from bettors speeding to get to the track in time to bet the daily double. self-righteous group will attack the sport for bringing disreputable characters to their town, but they mention the amount of money these characters pay into the economy. Racing Form will outsell the Wall Street Journal in Grand Island, Lincoln, Omaha, Columbus, Madison, Mitchell, and South Sioux City during the next seven months.

30 Scoring Performers May Liven Jumping Competition Second in a Series By DON FORSYTHE Prep Sports Writer With 30 performers who scored in last state meet returning, there will be spirited competition in the Jumping events for Nebraska high school athletes this season. This collection of pole vaulters is the most talented in Nebraska prep history. Heading the list is Omaha Randy Reeves, who established a new state record of as a sophomore last season. The Benson standout appears certain to crack the 14- foot barrier this year. In two indoor tests this season he has soared 13-4 and 13-914.

This puts him in a class of i own, but there are perhaps a dozen others who will flirt with the 13-foot mark. Rick Bush reached that plateau last year, but faltered in the state meet and could manage only a tie for fifth place in Class B. John Randolph of Kearney, Terry MedJo of Grand Island and Dave Hayen of Scottsbluff placed behind Reeves in the state meet last year. Dennis Schuyler of Grand Island score in the state meet, but soared Another Class A standout returning is Rod Ehler (12-2) who has tradition going for him in that two Ehlers are already on the list of all-time bests. Tom Jobman of Gothenburg, Doug Anderson of perior.

Bill Morris of Cozad and Jim McCarty of Lexington are ithe Class leaders returning. McCarty, who tied with Bush for fifth place, has already cleared in indoor competition this season. Class A champion Jack Todd of Scottsbluff (6-3) and Class champion Gerald Wadell of Aurora (6-1) head the high jump candidates. Todd faces stiff competition from Ed Thomas, the 1964 runner-up. North Dale Chase and Boys Dennis Tunks.

Tunks cleared 6-3 in last Omaha University indoor invitational. Some of the most interesting competition during the 1965 campaign should come in the broad Jump, where there are several proven 22- foot jumpers. Defending Class A champion Buddy McCrea of Omaha Tech has graduated, but the four Jumpers who placed behind him la the state meet are back. They are Rob Heimbuch of Grand Island, Randy Jones of Fairbury, Tom of Benson and Mike Hammer of Fairbury. Others who are at the same level are Larry Carlson of Beatrice, Eddie Walker of Omaha Tech, Mike Sadaj of Bellevue and James Hunter of Omaha Central.

Don Grubaugh of David City Aquinas, state runner-up for two years, heads the Class broad jumpers. Dale Zikmund of Central City and Wes Province of Broken Bow arc other state meet scorers leturning.

You get an asterisk for leading a league in defeats, too. Roberts already has two of those whereas the only dubious mark on record to date is an asterisk for us fits.

Johnson was having the same kind of year in triple A with Arkansas that Rickie Allen had the year before. have speed with Johnny Callison, who can do everything, Tony Taylor, Tony Gonzalez, Johnson and Allen.

Tenni will pack 116 pounds over the furlongs for the $2,000 purse for three year olds. Stablemate Say Alibhai with an assigned weight of 124 pounds will be waiting in the wings if one of the eight in the field is scratched.

Madam Doc will carry 115 pounds in the feature race while others entered are Gun Fight (112), Gowan i i (113), Star Fleet Fuzz (111), Run Lightly (111), Little Gap (14) and Kate (112). eight-race card with a 3 p.m. post time opens the 161-day racing circuit for Nebraska that will find the horses traveling from Grand Island to Ak Sar-Ben, Lincoln, Columbus, Madison and Atokad before the final race is run seven months from today. The March 30 opening is the earliest opening date in Nebraska racing history, an opening that has been threatened by snow almost daily. However, the snow is gone from the Fonner track, leaving it in a muddy condition.

The only discomfort, however, likely will be felt by the horses and Jockeys. Bettors will have a glass- enclosed grandstand to hover in during the races and general manager A1 Swihart has set up heaters in the enclosure. Tuesday Entries 3 p.m. First rare. $1500 claiming.

Pastrano, making the third defense of the 175-pound division title, has been guaranteed $100,000, or 30 per cent of the receipts that go into the promotional pot. Griffith, in his 11th title fight, has been guaranteed $70,000 or 25 per cent of the total. Torres and Stable will collect $10,000 each. Griffith, a native of the Virgin Islands, has an 8-2 record in welterweight title fights and is 43-5 over-all. He has scored 16 knockouts and been stopped once.
