In Memoriam ] Romps Home to Defeat Fast Zev Leads Sinclair’s Pride and Grayson’s My Own Down the Stretch to Win. By Associated Tress, A Kentucky bred and owned horse, with a Kentucky boy In the saddle, caused the ‘greatest surprise that has climaxed a turf spectacle in years today, when In Memoriam de feated the peerless Zev and his great est American rival,/My Own, In the $50,000 Latonia championship stakes before a crowd of 45,000 spectators, who braved a cold drizzling rain to witness the startling upset. The victory of the handsome bay son of McGee-Knchantcss owned by Carl Wiedemann, millionaire horse man of Kentucky, was convincing. Sprinting into the stretch, In Mem oriam conquered Zev, the conqueror of Papyrus and winner of the Ken tucky derby, raced him Into submis sion and flashed across tho wire a winner by at least six lengths. Back of the flashing heels of Zev came Rear Admiral Cary T. Gray son's My Own, trailing eight lengths back. Rialto, the fourth start in the race, was distanced In the stretch and pulled up without even trying to catch the flying leaders. The race, at a gruelling test of ono end three-quarters miles, was run In 3 minutes and 4-5 seconds, 6 1-6 sec onds slower than the American rec ord for the distance, established by * Rockminlster in tire same race a year ago. By strange coincidence, Jockey Mack Garner, the pride of Kentucky's knights of the saddle, who rode In Memoriam to victory today, holds the distinction of riding Rockminlster when that 3-year-old established the record. The triumph of In Memoriam was a stunning surprise. Kentucky, rich in thoroughbred tradition, knows race .horses, but if any horsc-wlse person had oeen asked last night what he thought of In Memorlam's chances, the reply probably would have been: "In Memoriam hasn't much of a chance, but he may spring an upset.” Harry F. Sinclair, owner of Zev, -vldently was convinced that Zev could not be beaten because he plunged $63,000 in the pari-mutuel nachines before the race. Sinclair first wagere'd $30,000. Then he ■lumped $20,000 more. As the hour for the start drew near, he wagered an additional $9,000 and finally threw 54,000 more on Zev'a chances to win. These sums were wagered at the .rack this afternoon, In addition to he amounts he wagered before leav . eg the east. — Because Zev and My Own were mch overwhelming favorites, a $t icket In the pari-mutuels on In Memoriam paid the liberal price of 23.60 to win. The price on Zev was U cents to $1, while the figures ■ >n My Own were $3.75 to $1. The odds n Rialto were $14.90 to $1. The spectacle, aside from the three minutes of stirring struggle, was the lost brilliant In the history of the lassie race. The crowd a* tho inish cheered wildly as Jockey Garner, his boyish fftce alight, was ifted to the platform in front of the tand and took his place with Owner .Viedemann while James M. Cox, ormer governor of Ohio, made the presentation speech in presenting ■Viedemann with a geld cup valued ■ t $5,000. The crowd let loose another shriek is a floral piece of American Beauties was draped over the shoulders of lockey Garner, Wiedemann and R. J. Gilmore, trainer of In Memoriam, •vhile the beaten Zev and My Own valked slowly away drooping under heir blankets. Wiedemann, who won $50,000 in ■.•ash as first prize for In Mcmoriant’s triumph, presented the boyish look ing Garner with a check for $10,000 as a reward for his victory. When the four kings of the na tion’s 3-year-olds went to the post shortly after 3:30 p. m.. the sky was cold and overcast and a drizzling rain, which started three hours be fore, suddenly stopped, leaving the track lightning fast. The horses were at the post a little more than a minute when William Hamilton, the starter, sprung the barrier. In Memoriam shot Into the lead for the first few strides, with Zev, Rialto and My Own at his flanks. The flying horses had not gone a quarter before the colors worn by Earle Hande, riding Zev, flashed Into the lead. Zev was fully clear at the half, and, under the skilful handling of Sands, clung to the lead until the mile and a half was leached. In Memoriam, trailing third, with Zev leading by three lengths, and My Own running second, stated to cloSe the gap as the flying hand flashed past the mile and a half post and turned into the stretch. Coming from behind, Jockey Garner snatched the lead as the field started for the wire, jerking his charge into the commanding position and sending him to the front wtlh all the speed he could muster. Garner, laying his head close to In Memorlam's neck, kept his horBe hugging the rail and steadily in creased the gap between the fast Zev, crossing the wire with a lead of six lengths. My Own, outrnced and tiring, struggled Into third place i Ight lengths hack of Zev. The fractional time or mo race chows that Zev flashed past the first quarter In 24 2-5, the half In 49 1-5, the three-quarters In 1:14 3-5, the mile In 1:41, the mile and a quarter In 2:081-5 and the mile and a half in 2:34 4-5. where he lost the lead. Jockey Sande, who rode Zev to vic tory In the Kontucky derhy, and In the International race two weeks ago against Papyrus and also has been (Stride My Own in six rnces, declared .hat In his opinion In Memorlam Is the greatest 3 year-old In the country. “I reached for my whip and went ifter Zev In the stretch, hut he seemed to falter. In Memorlam went by me like we were tied. I have no tllbls to offer. Tlie best horse won." In Memorlam, known as a 3 year old capable of running any distance, ms been In special training for to day’s taco since he finished second to the Imported 5-year-old Chocolet in the $50,000 Kentucky special three weeks ago. The turf experts snld he -losslbly could have won that race If fockey Harrett bad not been so busy -atchlng two other contenders inside Heres How Billy Miske Does His Training Billy Miske Is one fighter who be lieves that tha way to train for • Itard fight is to really train. That’s why he Is one of the best of the heavyweights. Miske meets Big Bill Brennan at the Auditorium in Omaha Wednesday night. The Douglas coun ty post of the American Legion will stage the show. ZEV MAY RACE EPINARD By AMHOcintfd Prp«, Paris, Nov. 3.—An offer fo match Epinard against Zev in a rare to bo run in France next April or May will be forwarded to Harry Sinclair by the Frencli Jockey club, should Zev defeat My Own and the other cracks at Latonia this afternoon. The essent of Pierre Wertheimer, owner of Epintrd, to the holding of a match race, has been obtained, with the distance, stakes and other details to be discussed later. The race, according to the pres ent plan, will be run at the Ixmg rhnmp course by the French So ciety for tile Eneourageifient of Horse Racing under the nuspiees of the French Joi key club. him on the rail that ho could not see Chacolet speeding along outside. Since that raco Trainer Gilmore, acknowledged as an expert in tho science of conditioning raca horses has been nursing In Memoriam along for today's race. In Memoriam was regarded as a likely winner of the Kentucky derby last spring, hut he finished training si ghtly off edge and did not mnke a very favorable show ing. His chief victory this year was the capture of the $10,000 Illinois derby at Chicago, hut he has won several other good races and won them Impressively. The result of the race, in the opin ion of the turf experts, proved noth ing except that neither Zev nor My Own is invincible, and thnt fh Mem oriam is a fast and game colt. The experts, however, regard the controversy that has raged around the merits of Zev and My Own ever since Zev was named to race Papyrus was at least partly seltled when Zev finished eight lengths in front of Ad miral Grayson's colt. Wesleyan Beats Trinity, 42 to 0 Lincoln, Nov. 3.—Nebraska Wes leyan university football team, un defeated this season, was an easy victor in the game with Trinity col lege of Sioux City at University Place today.

More than 60,000 peo ple jammed into the mammoth new memorial stadium, saw Harold Grange, Zuppke's phantom pile driver, crash across the Chicago line in the third quarter for the only touchdown of the game. In spite of the cold driving rain which drenched all spectators not seated under the upper decks of the stadium, the game was a lively one for spectators and players alike. Chicago made a good start In the first quarter apd seemed to hare found a vulnerable spot In the Illini line ami carried the hall to Illinois’ six yard line before Zuppke's eleven rallied and took the ball on downs. From that point the game was fairly even with both teams opening mo mentary offenses which promised without delivering scores. Harold Grange fulfilled the ex pectation* of the alumni, many of whom came miles to see him, by Intercepting a pass and tearing off a 42-yard run In the first quarter and adding a spectacular 30-yard run Ip the second. The Chicago defense was unable to solve his twisting ad vances It was after the teams had battled each other to a scoreless tie In the first half with most of the play In the center of the field that Illinois opened a real drive for the goal. Th the third period taking the ball on their own 37-yard line Grange opened the drive with a three-yard plunge at the line and Mcllwatn added five. Grange added five for first down and then wormed his way through the Chicago team for 23 yards around end and placed the hall on Chicago’s 22-yard line. He added 15 on the next play around end and Illinois had seven ysrds to go for a touch down. After Mcllwatn had added two more, Grange took the hall straight through the center of the line for the only touchdown. Britton's place ment teas perfect for the extra point. Broken Bow Blanks Aurora. Aurora. Neb., Nov. 4.—Broken How defeated Aurora Frldny afternoon on Streeter field by the decisive ecore of 80 to o la the presence of the largest crowd that ever turned out to a game In Aurora. The vtattlng team wae accompenled by the Broken Bow band and a large crowd of busi ness men and attidenta of the high school. Superintendent A. E. Fisher of Broken Bow, formerly superin tendent at Aurora, was among the spectator!. Broken Bow hae not been ecored against thla yenr and only once did Aurora threaten the enemy'e goal. The hall was carried to the one yard llfie, when Broken Bow held like a stone wall. This was Aurora’s first defeat this year, having plated Grand Island to a tie and having defeated Geneva and Superior, In the evening the Aurora Rotary club was host to the two tennis and to ths visiting Botarlans from Broken Bow, number 16, at a dinner at the Presbyterian church.

P Kyans righters to Stage Show Amateurs Meet in Ring Tues day Night for First Go. \ Denny Ryan has the stage all set (or his first monthly amateurs box ing contest to be held Tuesday night. He has arranged for 12 bouts of three rounds each. All of the prin cipals have been selected from hla Tuesday night boxing class. This is the first of the monthly cards that Denny stages throughout the winter months. He has a class of 150 men and boys who report every Tuesday night to learn the manly art of self-defense and Denny teaches them all the tricks of the trade. “This first card is Just sort of a workout for the boys,” Denny said. "They have been taught the prin ciples of the game and now I want to see them practice them while In action. It isn’t long until the com petition starts and I want to have the fellows In that who are going to make the best’showing.” The next card will be staged on December 4 and amateur fighters from North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska will take part. The champs for all of the athletic clubs in these four states will fight to hold their titles. One week later the winners of these bouts will go to Kansas City to take part in the tournament there. All of the men that Ryan takes with him will travel as representatives of the Omaha Athletic club and their honors will be shared Jointly with the club. Denny is now planning on having His bouts at least once every month and possibly more often through the remainder of the winter. Several big cards are being planned for later months that should be mighty good. Every card that had been arranged is good. Denny’s amateur shows are always good. Unlike many amateurs Denny's men are trained to use science more than brute strength. They have gotten away from the old idea of standing toe to toe and tak ing 10 blows In order to deliver one j that will count. Army^cores on Yale at Start New Haven, Conn., Nov. 3—Army score three points on Yale early in the first period today, Garbisch kick ing a 25-yard drop after an advance from midfield had been checked at Yale's 16-yard line. A 12 yard tackle smash by Smythe featured the ad vance.

Nov. 3—When the time rolls around for the 1924 national open championship different condi tions will prevail than those which have been In force during the last four years. The I'nited States Golf association has decided In favor of sectional qualifying rounds. It la understood that out of these qualifying testa the P. G. A. will de liver for the championship proper 80 players. If this Is so It will mean that there will be only 40 from each section, which seems an unusually small number. About a year ago the parent organ isation after Its experience at Bknkio decided In favor of sectional qualify ing rounds, one In the west and the other In the east, the Idea being to have 150 players, 75 front each sec tion. qualify for the main event at Inwood. For some reason or other the plnn was abandoned after ths ar rangements had been made, even to the selection of courses for the two preliminary rounds. That week at Inwood probably set tled all doubts In the minds of the executive committeemen as to future policy, but in deciding for only a to tal of 80 qualifiers It would seem that the association had gone to the other extreme. In the championship next yonr only two days will be required. The 80 qualifiers will compete at 72' holes. 30 each day. The Professional Golfers' asaocla tlon ha* accepted the offer to handle the preliminaries and now all that will lie necessary to do will he to arrange the detail*. No announcement ha* been made as yet regarding the likely place for next year’* open, ihough It is reasonably certain to be held over a course In the middle west. Thu* far Oakland Hills, near Detroit, ami Oukmont, In the Pittsburgh see tlon, have been mentioned as poaal bllltles. At that Muun, or Muon's manager, should be given credit for using his head. With no decision at the end of the match It will he hard to hold a defeat agalnat the big Cornhuaker. Private Referees Are Hanning Game in the Opinion of Experts New York, Nov. 3.—Tex Rickard is willing to put on a return match between Mike McTigue and Young Stribling, but he is not going to offer a fortune for the bout. Rickard had one unpleasant experience with a match of that kind. He doea not want to repeat the mistake he made on that occasion. When Johnny Wilson took his own referee out to Cleveland, where he was to box Bryan Downey. He stirred up considerable excitement. Accord ing to the Cleveland boxing commis sion, Downey knocked him out, but Referee Jimmy Gardner did his part and saved the titlte for Wilson. The sensation caused by this piece of work was countrywide and Rickard got the idea that a return match be tween the two would be a great draw ing card. He signed Wilson to box Downey over In Jersey City, offering him $35,000. But boxing fans refused to turn out to see the men in action and they were right, for the two put up a miserable exhibition. Rickard lost considerable on the venture. He tried to withhold Wilson's money, but I eventually he was forced to settle. The recent affair between McTlgue and Strlbllng wae similar to the W1I son-Downey bout at Cleveland. The main difference was that Referee Harry Ertle did not have as much nerve ae Gardner. Ertle weakened at the critical moment. It has come to be a common thing for boxers to take friendly referees around the country with them on their barnstorming trips. A few months ago one of the leading con tenders for the lightweight title was knocked down for considerably more than 10 seconds by a third rater. A friendly referee saved the star boxer by giving him a long count. This prlvnte referee syetom Is one of the worst canker spots In boxing. In any other line of sport such a thing would be Impossible. In ring circles It has become so common that It has ceased to attract attention ex cept when a championship is Involved. Evidently boxing men have no sense of humor. Otherwise the lack of fair play in such an arrangement would make the thing appear too ridiculous for consideration. _ I’rinccton anil Harvard first came to grips on the gridiron in 1877. Just 40 years ago. There have been lapses since, one of these quite extended, but they have been hard at It steadily now for the last 12 years. The Tiger has always been an an noying factor in Crimson life. It might be noted here that Harvard hasn’t beaten a Princeton team since the war. During this Interval Har vard has drawn four consecutive vic tories over Yale, but the Nassau count shows two ties and two Tiger victories Out of four starts. It has been seven years now since Harvard tilted over a Princeton team. Now the Crimson comes again to the Palmer stadium and It Is no part of a certainty that Harvard is going to break the spell. At the season's start the outlook was all Crimson. Coach Fisher has eight or nine men back who played last fall against Y'ale. The Harvard line was known to be quite strong. The Harvard baokfteld had prospects. And Princeton had lost heavily from a year ago, with Treat, Baker, Cleaves. Gray and otheap miss ing. In early October Princeton's outlook was extremely sour and moldy. But in the last two weeks the Tiger has been steadily Improv ing and Harvard has skidded from one trouble to another, with pretty fair testimony that the Harvard team is none too brilliant. Harvard, mean while. had lost Owen, Buell and Gehrke from last year's backfield, and that was no light blow. Harvard in October deemed this a pretty fair year in which to check the Tiger inarch. Now Harvard Isn't so certain. Princeton hasn't one of her great teams, but neither has Har vard. go there Is every prospect for a hard, even game, with little advan tage either way. Neither team has a strong running attack.so far at least, so most of the scoring will have to com* from field goals or the pass. By tioxt Saturday both elevens should have reached an advanced state of development, with about the best they have to offer. Both have been up against stout opposition and both at one time have been pretty well hammered out. Notre Dame ap plied the hammering to Princeton and Dartmouth responded for Harvard So they have been seasoned In ad verslty. Neither has any cause for an overconfident sttltude. Princeton has lost one game to liar yard and Yale out of the last eight starts. Harvard has lost two against her old rivals and Yale has lost seven. Now Y'ale seems about due again. For that matter, we figured Y'ale about due last fall, but the Blue lost both Mg games. Princeton has a way of bounding along stoutly for her two closing parties. Just as Harvand has a way of reaching the peak against Y'ale. So far this fall neither has x»hown enough to indicate a victory ever Yale, but they have shown enough to look evenly matched against each o'her. This means an even battle before another great crowd, with the ultimate Issue In doubt. Here is one great thing about foot ball, In addition to many other great things. It doesn't taka a champion Bob Martin Bob Martin, heavyweight champ of the A. E. F.. Iihh declared a tempor ary retirement from the prtxe r.ng and ban Joined the Virginia State po lice, Bob's retirement came after hla defeat at the hand* of Martin Hurke In New Orleans a few weeks ago. At the time that Hurke put Martin to alnep otnolala of the boxing game In Louisiana, declared that Hnh was no man for box fighting. They said that while Martin was a go getter nnd a fighting fool, he lacked the necessary quantity that makes pro fessional fighters. He had a heart, In their estimation, and would let tip on an opponent at a critical moment. The elm nip of the A. E. F. went to work a* a "copper" at onre and la said to he making a good one He had experience txhile over seas a* an M 1’. and'slmuld know all the ropes. ship gam« to draw out tne crowa or stir up the frenzy. Both Havard and Princeton have been badly beaten. Neither has any show for a top rank ing. Yet theyr meeting will draw Just as many people and stir up just as much wild and woolly enthusiasm as If they were battling for the grid iron championship of the world. It Is tradition and the old rivalries in football that count. No follower likes to see his team beaten. But certain victories and defeats mean more than the rjst of the season combined. Fottball breaks often outlast all other discrepancies. It has been just 30 years sine# Yale and Pennsylvania met and 29 years since Princeton and Penn decided to speak a last goodby. The gap apparently widens as the years move along. It has been a long time since Cornell and Syracuse, nat ural football rivals, met and there is no sign of a meeting yet in sight. Harvard and Princeton stayed apart for 15 yearB, but in spite of a rum ble now and then they are pretty sure to keep the present order going. What state hAs the greatest span of football teams? Pennsylvania can enter Penn State. University of Penn sylvania, W, and J . Carnegie Tech, Pittsburgh, Lafayette, Lehigh, fiwarthmure and others. That at least Is a mark to shoot at. Bucknell la another. New England has great football strength, but no one New England slat* can match Pennsyl vania. New York hat Cornell, Syra cuse and Colgate for the leaders, three strong contributors. And with Haughton on the Job. Columbia will again reach Its old place, although any such advance will take more than one season. Massachusetts has Har yard. Boston college. Holy Cross. Boston university and other strong tea me. The Job of picking all-star back* this season is going to be the most intricate of many football moona. Th# west has Grange and Kipke to offer from Illinois and Michigan. Also Workman of Ohio State. Then there is Wilson of Penn State, one of the brilliants, and possibly Bowman of Syracuse. Darling of Boston college, is another, and Yale has several who will take high ranking before th* year is out. The Army has a star In Hmythe and Cornell has another star in Pfann. A hackfleld com posed of Pfann, Wilson. Grange and Kipke wouldn't be chaaed off th* field by most coaches. \ High School Foot-Ball' Aurora Neb, Nov Broken Bow fn ved*d ih» town of Aurora today for a football game.

Few people care to know that the Glutt started in as office boy on the Rufftown eleven and stayed with the firm until he was made cashier on the varsity ambulance. It was the Glutt i famous doublfft fumble that won the team Its well bought victories. The Glutt used to call for the ball on a delayed dispute and fumble it nine time*. He recovered every' fum ble but the lint one. After that, the entire Rufftown team would fumble. Seniority was based on financial rating. The Glutt stood the highest with the pawnbrok ers of Rufftown and he was always allowed to kick the leather egg arour.d until the referee borrowed a whistle. In the triple fumble play, which should be a good one for the day nurseries to start the season with, the left tackle hides his head In a bag and hollers: "Guess who I am?" The guards disguise • right punch with a fake kirk and gain 15 yards in any direction. Backward is easier. The quarterback signals for an off side penalty and when he Jumps on the man who fumbled the ball last, he says: "It was me all the time.” Night comes swiftly in the tropic*. If there are any players who aren't slugging, they are fined three visits to the class in higher mathe matics. This ran easily be proved by the statistics furnished each year by the chauffeurs of New Hav«t all-night lunch wagons. > Eighteen Tale professors were in vited to the Tale-liarvard game and were given good seats near the exit.), They didn't cheer for Tale and they didn't root for Harvard. When asked if they wanted to see the Tale or Harvard boys w.n. they said: "We don't care. They're all strangers to we.” Showing that the professors shouldn't be judged by the students, who wouldn't sit down at a desk unless there were pistes and cups on it. There was nothing like that at Kufftown. Every player was a han ner student, even If he couldn't read what was on the banner. Another little football anecdote won the nickel plated veal cutlet about the same time that Childs was trying to invent a sandwich cona.sitng of but one slice of bread. A Judge asked • young man if he was a student. The young man answered that he went to Cornell. The judge fined him H for evading the question and six more buttons for listing two part* in his hair.
