Zev s Owner Was Once Penniless Old-Timers Join the “I Knew Him When” Club and Tell of Past. Blackwell, Okl., Oct. *1.—After Zev's spectacular win of yesterday was reported here several old-timers, friends of Harry Sinclair, were re marking about the sportsman and telling of things that had happened when they new him aa a beginner In the oil business. Twenty years ago, they say, they first met Harry Sinclair. He was a resident of Blackwell then, had been for two or three years. His business, selling leaaes, was being run on a “shoestring" and took a sudden slump. In fact It took such a very sudden slump that he quit his office and accepted a position as drug clerk In a pharmacy at Independence, Kan. Business was so rushing that Sin clair's entire capital was Invested In a railroad ticket to the scene of his new duties. All he had when he boarded the train was a firm de termination to find his guiding star, and follow it. Few If any of the old-timers In northern Oklahoma thought then that Sinclair would rlae to his present position as head of one of the largest independent oil companies In the coun try. But now Sinclair Is not only a millionaire but a sportsman that has a reputation of playing the game fairly at every turn. He la a leading figure In the oil Industry and prominent about the turf. Sinclair, beeldes having a keen business sense. Is gifted with being able to pick the right men for the right jobs. For instance his selection of Sam Hildreth as trainer of his - fast string of thoroughbreds. The Hildreths, according to the old-time oil men, have been prominent on the turf for years. Old-tlmeri tell of how they backed Hildreth trained horses when they were drill ing the firBt wells of Oklahoma. Now the two, Sinclair and Hildreth, are together and the outstanding re sult of the union Is Zev, the fastest horse of the year. So much of the money of this dis trict was on Zev when he went to tha post In tha Empire City race that It was hard to find anyona with money to bet. No odd* could be named and ail beta wera made with agreement to settle at whatever odda ruled at tha race track. There will probably ba aa much, er more, money on the sterling I year-old when he goes to the post Saturday to race against his keenest competitor, My Own. Should he lose that race there will be a walling and gnashing of teeth In the oil fields that wfll ba heard for miles. Athletic Rales to Be Discussed »t Meeting New York. Oct. *1—The standard isation of college athletic administra tion la to be the chief topic of die oussion at a conference of the Na tional Collegiate Athletlo association at Atlanta, Ga., December 27 and 28, according to an announcement of the program today by Brigadier General Palmer E. Bierce, president of the association. General Pieros pointed out that there now la a wide diversity in the attempts of faculties to direct col lege physical training and competi tive athletics and that the N. C. A. A. expects to make definite recom mendations aa the best method of handling them. Th listing of the final American Olympic track and field tryouts for June 13 and 14, on which dates im portant college meets have been scheduled, has created another prob lem that will come up before the N. C. A. A., according to General Pierce.

Lawrence, Kan., Nov. 1.—The Haskell Indian football players will be given their second real oppor tunity of the season to test their stength when they meet the gridiron representatives of Creighton uni versity next Saturday at Omaha. The Indians, under their two coaches, Dick and LeRoy Hanley, started a week of hard practicing here Monday in an effort to have their Red Skins In shape, when the warriors take the field against the Creighton eleven. Every member of the Indian squad that will make the trip will be In the best of condition, providing they all survive the prac tice and scrimmage that will be held each afternoon until the team leaves for Omaha on Thursday night. The Haskell institute team that the followers who attend the game Saturday at Omaha will see, is the greatest team that has ever been turned out at the Institution here, in fact it has been ranked to be Just as good as the former Indian teams of Carlisle, Among Coach Hanley’s Braves will be John Levi, a hard smashing full back and ground gainer who does the punting and passing as well fdr the Tndlans. Levi has been ranked among the leading fullbacks In the country and he was said by Jim Thorpe to be the best football player he had ever seen. Thorpe was said to be the greatest football player of all times ^vhen he was a star at Carlisle a few years ago. The Indian team has developed at a normttl rate of speed since the be ginning of the season. In the six games that the Indians have played thus far this season, they have only loot one and that to the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis by one point. The Indians played the Gophers, one of the leading teams of the Big Ten, a IS to 12 game three weeks ago, the failure to kick goal following a touchdown losing the game for the Hanley cre>w. Minne sota made their two counters early In the first quarter, while John Bevi made the first Haskell score after running through the entire Minnesota team after he had received the ball from the kick-off at the opening of the second half. The Indians In the six games they have played this year have plied up a total of 316 points against 16 made by their opponents. They have de fented the Kansas City university team, AVarrensburg Normals, Pitts burgh Normals, Friends university and Fairmont college eleven. The Braves are apparently stronger now than any other time this sea son, for a shift In the ltneup has added both defensive and offensive strength. “Jerry" Ktlbucfc, th* star guard of the team, will b* playing back at hla old position against Creighton. Kllbuck has been out of the Indian lineup because of Injuries this see son, and hi* return will strengthen the line considerably. Norton has been switched back to the opposite gard, and this Indian has had con siderable experience at this position. George I>ev 1 has practically recov ered from a long string of early sea son Injuries, and brother John must step lively In the backfteld to keep hla laurels. John, the captain and star of the team, is the regular full back, while George will be occupying a halfback position at Omaha Satur day. Otipoby, the •rabbit” halfback, has recovered from blood poisoning in the hand, and thus far the back field is in better shape than at any other time this year. O Says "Bugs' Uaier*: A . WAITERS GOOD FIGHTERS Slki iliul Belter Coniine His Pickings to Things on tile Menu. BATTLING SIKI Chased so many waiters out of Paris that he thought he was champion of the world. He did knock Carpentier for a one way ticket, but Is staying away from Harry Wills's bale hook. Slkl won't he the first mosquito who tried to bite through Winter underwear. " His first mistake was going up to Harlem and objecting to a boy waiter bringing him frost bitten soup. The waiter chafed him ns fnr as the law allows and Slki never came back for his hat. When you don’t go back fnr your hat In Harlem you are whipped. Slkl has had seven or eight man agers since he left Pails and has succeeded In losing his restaurant championship. Somebody pulled a sound box on the Bat In Harlem and Sikl sur rendered with all on board. After gazing Into the open end of a gun, Slkl realized that the Har lem slogan Is "Every man his own army." Slkl didn’t know that Harlem 1* the place where they pay a pleasure tsx on trouble. If he wants to do any fighting In America Sikl had belter do it In the ring, where he will lie protected by rule*. You don't want to ho wearing carpet slipper* when you go around kicking fire plugs. That rough and tumble fighting Is all right if you're rough and the other bird tumbles. In the old days of barroom tour naments, we had rnnny spigot champs who pulverized thetr weight In dynn mite. But hospitals kept the books In those dnye and never printed any popular priced editions. They didn't fight three minutes and rest one. They fought one minute and rreted forever. There was one old Bowery champ who could whip anybody provided 'there was sawdust on the floor. They tried him out In the ring one night and the cnnvns defeated him. He was used to a ring where there were New Tear greetings wrltlen In soap on the mirrors and he never lost a battle he started himself. He finished where all rough anil tumble battlers wind up—holding a Illy for other folks to smell. TTavann Knee Track Opens New York, Nov. 1 Frank .1 Bruen, manager of Oriental Bark at Havnnna. announced laet night.that the annual 100 day race meet would open In Havana Thanksgiving day, November 29. HI* announcement set at rent ru mor* that there would be no racing at Havana this winter England to Send Better Race Horse London, Oct. II.—A "better home than Papyrus" will go to America next year In the hope of reversing the result of the latter's recent defeat by Zev. This statement was mnde ex ■ftuslvely tonight to Universal Service by Steve Donoghue, who rode PapyriXs. The Strand was blocked for over an hour tonight due to the fact that Donoghue was advertised to appear and "explain the losa of the race to Zev," along with the moving pictures of the race. Prior to the showing of the film In the famous old music hall, which was packed to capacity with the fore most figures of the English sporting world, Including the earl of Derby and others of e,,ual prominence, the man agement announced from the stage that Steve Donoghue had Just returned from Newmarket and was too fatigued to speak. The Jockey then appeared, threw kisses to the audience, and was given a tremendous ovation. Following the presentation of the pictures on the •screen I had a talk with Donoghue who told me exclusively for Universal Service: “It Is all very well to excuse the defeat of Papyrus by speaking of the muddy track, but the truth la that British rnoing Interests are not con tent to allow the matter to be dropped there. “I know that I am returning to America before another racing sea son Is over, with a better horse, undet better conditions, and with longer preparation over dirt tracks. “Those for whom X sp»nk are hope ful that the result will be reversed and that the challenge eup will be brought to England." Ilalf-Mile Stcim Has JSo Cliami> Because the Officials Forgot It Chicago, Oct. 31.—T^ost and forgot ten through the national champion ships of two years, the half mile swim title of the National Amateur Ath letic union today was the object of a search by local officials following discovery by the program makers for next season that the event had been lost without trace during the competition of 1922 and 1923. The event was assigned to the southern Pacific A U. for 1923. hut a check of the schedule today re vealed that It never had been run off. Delving further Into the blank past, officials found tha 1921 half mile among the missing. A* a result, (hero were no champions In the event during the two .vest*. Sponsors of a new plan to hold (he National A. A.
