An all-star Tustin lineup without the nimble guard would be laughed out of print. Few were the surprises in Cole's teams, Sam Francis, of course, was a foregone conclusion at center. He is the greatest athlete produced at Tustin: probably the No. 1 bas- ketballer ever developed in Orange county.

Thiery sparked four Tustin clubs from '28 through '81; two of were undefeated in league competition. Cole puts Dean Francis with Thiery; they would make a deadly combination. Dean has been in Scotland for the past two years studying for missionary work in connection with the Latter Day Saints church.

There is a remote possibility that he. as well as brothers Sam and Paul, will enter Santa Ana junior college next year. that be somethin'? Coach Cole is justifiably proud of the accomplishments of his team this winter, yet he remembers with the fondness of mellowing age the deeds of some of his earlier champions. He recalls vividly the exploits of Emmett Seacord.

Incidentally, while famine usually follows athletic feasts. tin 1988 opponents will find tin plenty tough. The Francis menace will be gone at last, but Coach Cole retains three regulars from his mighty team of 3937. The Brothers Linker will take up where the Brothers Francis left off. Mon- roy is back.

Why, it's murder, no The phenomenal times are made possible by tracks where the operators have learned to combine speed and safety in the same surface. No two courses are identical, although they may be of the same specifications. designed by the same architect, and built by the same contractor. Until now-, architects have faced this dilemma. They could sacrifice safety for get-up-and go by skinning the track down to a surface as hard as cement, or they could sacrifice speed by deepening the cushion to the point where it would be safe even for confirmed cripples.

Saratoga always has been an example of a deeply cushioned and slow oval. It is nearly three seconds slower than Belmont Park, for instance. Bainbridge Park of Cleveland lias a skinned surface which is lightning fast. But. many a trainer has refuser) to risk the limbs of their charges there.

That was one of the principal reasons w'hy the Ohio Derby fell through. SPEED AND SAFETY Until recently, Belmont Park was the one exception. But. now there are several other strips w'hich have both speed and cushion, notably Hialeah Park, Santa Anita, and Bay Meadows. Hialeah is the best of the bunch.

Thoroughbreds not fit to warm up animals like Man Equipoise, Twenty Grand, Discovery, hang up records at these tracks. If Finance, which isn't even a great sprinter, can run a mile in 1:85 1-5 at Hialeah, a steed of the caliber of Equipoise could shade it by two seconds. And what Man War would have done to that track record, had Big Red anything in back of him to give him a race, is beyond telling.

Brevity ran the distance in the world record time of 1:48 1-5 in winning the Florida Derby at Hia- leh, March 7, 1936, and set practically all the experts to telling the cockeyed world that there really was no sense in running the Kentucky Derby if the only purpose was to determine the winner.

Sally Shall raced three furlongs at Hialeah in 33 seconds flat to tie the world record held jointly by Air- flame and Balking.

Altogether this season at Hia- leh one world record has been broken, one equaled, six new track records established, and four track records equaled. The lightning speed of the course is causing no end of amazement among turf followers, for it lias been pronounced by veteran horsemen as one of the safest strips in the world, and this is borne out by the fact that to date no injuries have been sustained in actual racing or workouts. cushion of the track is the deepest of any have seen," says John Keegan, Hialeah track superintendent.
