Jockey Gamer.
In Final' Race;
Won 2 Millions
COV1NQTON, Ky.. dfet. 29.-</P)—
Mack Garner, one of four brothers
who won acclaim as Jockeys, has!
ridden bis last race. He died last
night in the “home stretch” of his
career in the saddle at age 36.
During his 33 years on American
tracks, Garner "hotted home" more
than 2,000 winners and earned well
over (3,000,000.
Stricken with a heart attack upon
his return home last night from
River Downs (formerly Coney Is
land) track at Cincinnati, Garner
was hurried to a hospital where he
died at 11;01 o’clock (E. S. T.) ,
While the turf world mourned
his sudden passing, friends recount
ed his greatest feats.
In 1915, his second year out, the
Centerville, la., boy was rated as
the year’s leading rider with 151
winners in 775 starts. In 1929 he
broke the record for jockey eam
i tags for one season with a total of
(3144)75. Earle 8ande exceeded the
mark the following year.
Gamer was astride Cavalcade
when he won the Kentucky Derby
in 1934, and was up on Blue Lark
spur when he captured the rich
Belmont stake in 1929.
During his long activity in which
he competed on virtually every
American track, Gamer straddled
7,695 mounts, exclusive of this year,
and came in first 1,299 times. He
rode 1,317 place and 1,080 show
winners. His total earnings were
approximately (2.456.205.
GOPHERS BETTER
THAN PREVIOUSLY
CHICAGO, Oat. 28.—yp>—Min
nesota Isn't as strong this year—it’s
stronger.
The ranking No. l football eleven
of the nation is the most powerful,
most versatile of all Gopher teams
since they started their amazing
winning streak of 28 games with
out defeat four years ago.
No previous thundering herd can
match this devastating squad in
running, blocking, passing or pow
er.
Extravagant, perhaps, but that
was the opinion expressed by qual
ified observers who have followed
the fortunes of Minnesota’s grid
iron warfare.
The team welded together by that
grey-haired football strategist. Ber
nard William Bierman, is a per
fectly trained eleven, so adept at
charging and blocking ahead of its
ball carriers that a runner can ac
tually be shot through the line of
scrimmage and be free to pitch a
lateral pass before he can be
smashed to the ground.
No Protests Filed
Under Graham Plan
RICHMOND. Va., Ocfc. 29.—WV
The News-Leader has quoted For
est Fletcher, of Lexington, Presi
dent of the Southern Conference,
as saying that no ‘official protests’
had been made cm eligibility reports
filed by member schools.
The reports were Made by the
schools on athletes, in accordance i
with the Graham plan.
“I have not been appraised offi
cially of any protests,” Fletcher was
quoted as having said. "As far as I
sm concerned, each school has ac
cepted without a murmur the re
ports of other members.”
The News-Leader, however, said!
"there Is every reason to believe a!
thorough airing of complaints will
take place at the conference meet- j
ing in December.”

Doc Says “Automobile Knees”
Rain Many Potential Gridders
RICHMOND. Va., Oct. (/P>—
“Ol’ Doc" Thistlethwaite, Univer
sity of Richmond football coach who
has worn his hair thin in 28 sea
sons of master minding, shook a
warning finger at the gridiron world
today and said: "Automobile knees
are the curse of this generation."
When Olenn Thistlethwaite was
a youngster in knee breeches out in
the mid-west, he thought nothing
at all of romping a half mile to
the nearest grocery store and jog
ging back again with the midday
meal under his arm.
“Now what do you find?"
Without pausing for breath, the
"Professor" answered his own rhe
torical question. "I’ll tell you what
you find. You find babies rolled
around in perambulators for the
first two years of their life, car
ried to school in automobiles until
they're big enough to stretch their
toes to the accelerators and then—
with the exception of occasional In
terruptions for food and sleep—
they spend the rest of their lives
with their arms draped lovingly
arqpnd steering wheels.”
And that, says Thlstlethwaits, is
the reason underpinnings collapse,
their knees won’t stand the strain,
and that football coaches ail over
the country are beset with a flock
of kne* injuries which oft times
ruin the chances of a potential star.

Eddie Brietz Says .
NEW YORK. Oct. 29.—(/P)—Ho
hum! Dog days must be here, sure
enough . . . The New York State
Athletic commission has launched
its annual prooe of the westling
racket .... Jim Crowley of Ford
ham is one football coach who
doesn’t pop off ... So when he says
his current Ram line is better than
the seven mule of Notre Dame
fame, you’ve got to believe him . . .
Down at Pinehurst. N. C, they are
dolling up the famous No. 2 cham
pionship course for the P. O. A.
tournament next month . , .
Branch Rickey of the Cards
admits he received a 9200,000
offer from the Giants lor Dissy
Dean . . . Our best football
long shot this week is North
Carolina State over North Car
olina . . . Had hoped to pick
Georgia over Tennessee, but
Knoxville reports indicate Hie
Vols haven’t let down enough
after the Dnke triumph ....
The Evening Foot reports Ben
_ ny Leonard, farmer lightweight
champ, will open a restaurant
across the street (torn Demp
sey’s and only a block from
Mickey Walker's.
A wefek after his Duquesne team
had surprised the fpotball world by
trimming Pitt, Clipper Smith, Du
quesne coach, watched West Vir
ginia Wesleyan (a breather) trim
him 2-0 . His only comment was:
“I never saw a guy become a bum
so fast" .... Has Lou Gehrig’s
Hollywood debut been indefinitely
postponed? .... Coast reports are
that after watching Ix>u in action
the ovie moguls decided Johnny
Weismuller still is tops as Taraan.
If 7:2 (Bob Speesard of Wash
ington and Lee) is tops for col
lege ends, perhaps 6:9 5-8 will*
do as a starter for high school

Western scribes say there isn’t
as much tension on the Minne

NEW YORK* Oct. ».-<#V-The
“football Gods” must have gotten
together before the Mason opened
and picked the coming week end to
enjoy their biggest laugh of the
year at the expense of the so-far
undefeated gridiron combinations.
Prom the looks of things, the
program, headed by Auburn’s in*

tangle, promises as heavy firing at
the unbeaten lists, but with prob
ably more devastating toll, than
any yet this season. I
The list shows enough otoer
tough ones to make it certain that
the decrease in perfect reootds will
be as big as in the last two terri

Take such meetings as Marquette

WUly Nitty's Birthday
By MARY GRAHAM BONNER
Jelly Bear, Honey Bear, Jupiter
and Blacky and the oub Chubby
had brushed their coats, and each
carried a package of nuts wrapped
up In leaves.
There were not so many nuts as
there had been when they had
started to collect them for Willy
Nilly’s birthday. The bears were so
sungry at this time of the year;
but, for them, they had done ex
ceedingly well.
All the other Puddle Muddlers
wan looking their best. Top Notch
had wound a splendid ball of string
to give Willy Nllly. He knew the
little man would find it useful. The
ducks had gathered some stones
and pebbles which they were going
to place together to be used as a
foot mat by any one entering Wil
ly NUly’s house. That would save
the little man from scraping up so
much mud as he often had to do.
They also had a lovely bunch of
brown oak leaves for a bouquet.
Rip had gathered some apples
and hidden them In a pile back of
Willy Nilly’s house where be would
show them as a surprise.
Christopher Columbus Crow had
made a little nest for Willy Nitty
to put on his mantlepiece In which
he could keep pins and buttons and
other odds and ends.
Now they all marched up to his
house cackling and quacking and
barking and bleating and cawing
and growling:
“Many happy returns for the
dayl Many happy returns of the
day!”
Willy Nitty looked up from his
work and saw the beaming faces of
all his animal friends. He brushed
a tear, that came from sheer Joy,
away from his left eye, and his face
wreathed up In smiles so that his
little pit of a nose could hardly be
seen. It seemed as though shivers
of happiness went up and down
his spine. \
