The low Autumn sun, cutting through the November haze, gave a dull golden light, the light of false evening. In the infield shrubbery, scarlet sage glowed red, like a Summer sunset or an open wound. Sutherland played "Look for the Silver Lining." The customers looked, and saw a filly named Attrusa- owned by Mr. Angel Rubio Fernandez, who probably is not a wrestler- win at $16.90.

Craig, who is a former Seton Hall College star, has been around in ten years. Last season he was with big time pro a basketball for the past Eddie White's American League Champions, the Wilkes-Barre Barons.

He's popular with the fans and last season was voted the most popular member of the Wilkes Barre Barons for which he was showered with presents by the fans near the close of the season.

The Scoreboard Architect Wants to Clean Up Wrestling, Save Nation by HARRY GRAYSON WASHINGTON (NEA) Schuszler has launched a one-man campaign to clean up wrestling. I trust that Schuszler isn't too old. It would take a long time.

It definitely would be a young man's job. Schuszler, a Cleveland architect who did a spot of pulling and tugging as an amateur, is alarmed by a report from Prague that Czechoslovakia would train a nation of wres- Warmerdam tlers for purposes national defense. Also by a yarn out of Warsaw that a sports program developed by the Central Committee of the United Workers will produce not only the fastest, healthi st and strongest athletes. but also the most courageous fighters. Schuszler is afraid the movement will spread behind the Iron Curtain, fears this country will be outsweated.

He demands that rassling go back to the old hammers and locks to save the nation, lick Russiaand put us all to sleep, DURING A WORKOUT of the Fresno State College squad, Cornelius Warmerdam was trying to put over a point of pole-vaulting form to Dick Hibner. To clear up the point, Dutch Warmerdam got pole. Takhalf dozen oute leaps, only man who ever did 15 feet cleared bar at several inches more than 14 feet. J. Flint Hanner, watching from the sideline, remarked how unfortunate it was that Warmerdam was forced to retire from competition by being declared a professional for teaching physical education.

He added that Fresno State's most famous athletic alumnus would have cleared 16 feet. What a pity the Europeans didn't get to see him in the Olymnpic Games a year ago the past Summer. "When a man has been out of competition for almost four years, and can come out. and in one day go above 14 feet, he is a marvel of any age," said Athletic Director Hanner. No athlete so far outstripped his field.

IT BEING WITHOUT AN unbeaten team doesn't mean that the Big Nine is sans a first-class outfit. At least that's the way Tug Wilson sees it. To Commisioner Wilson's way of thinking there hasn't been an upset in the Western Conference this Fall.

It was learned today that Bettio is scheduled to join the Bruins in New York tonight for their game with the New York Rangers.

Cleveland 23 St. Louis -3 19 Indianapolis 00 15 Pittsburgh 12 Cincinnati 8 By the Associated Press The St. Louis Flyers are making a strong bid to overhaul the Cleveland Barons in the Western Division of the American Hockey League. The Flyers carved out their ninth victory of season 1 last night, whipping the Hershey Bears, 9 to 3, and now trail the Barons by only three points. The Cleveland club has 11 victories, two losses and one tie for 23 points, while the Flyers have totaled 19 points on nine triumphs, seven setbacks and one tie.

THE 4,815 fans watched the St. Louis club clinch the game in the first section, flashing the light three times within a 41-second period. It was the Flyers' highest total of the season, topping their previous high, an 8 to 3 victory over the Providence Reds last Tuesday.
