O FAR every racing man in the country has placed the blame for Whirl- away's defeat Saturday squarely upon the jinx of the famed Arlington Park race track, the so-called "graveyard of champions." Being the most superstitious people in the world (and even they'll admit that), the turf men have been pointing to the adventures of Johnstown, Gallahadion and Twenty Grand at this same track as much as to say that Whirlaway had to lose-he was the odds-on favorite. Johnstown had come to Arlington with the Derby and Belmont stakes safely tucked in his saddlebags, Gallahadion had also won at Kentucky and Twenty Grand had set a Derby mark--but none of them had a record to compare with Whirlaway's. Before the 1941 turf king was beaten by the comparatively obscure Attention, Whirlaway had acquired the Triple Crown, winning the Preakness, Derby and Belmont prizes. It was more than tradition,,however, that beat the famous Wright entry. After all, if our memory serves us right, both Omaha and Gallant Fox came through at Arlington after capturing the Triple Crown and most experts are of the opinion that Whirlaway's performances had yet to come up to the quality of these fast-steppers. Remember, it wasn't so long ago when Whirlaway was hailed as the long-shot Derby victor. PERHAPS another factor in Whirlaway's defeat was the suspension of Eddie Arcaro, one of the two or three top jockeys in the business, who rode Whirlaway in his Kentucky, Belmont and Preakness victories. When Arcaro was 'uled out of competition, 22-year-old Alfred Shelhamer was given the Arlington assignment. Shelhamer, although an excellent jockey, is very definitely ou't of Arcaro's class. It may have been only tradition but, then again, we like to believe that the horse is not quite as good as his press notices and that he was probably down too fine for the contest. A Bit Of 'Tennis ... TWO of Michigan's net stars were entered in the recently completed De- troit city tournament but neither of them came up to expectations. Jim Tobin, last year's tennis captain and winner of the Public Parks Tourney in Detroit, was seeded No. 1 and Max Gurman, a graduate student in physical education here, was the fellow Tobin had to beat. ' But when the curtain rose on the final scene Gene Russell, captain- elect of. Western Michigan College's tennis squad, and Kimbark Peterson, a 37-year-old math prof at Lawrence Tech, were in there battling it out for the title. Youth was served and the unseeded professor was vanquished. Peterson defeated Tobin in five sets in one of the semi-finals while Russell took the measure of Gurman in the other. Both Wolverines, however, were in the doubles finals which saw Tobin and Dick Prakken victorious over Gurman and Irv Blumenfield. More On Wakefield-18 Bit ONE OF the University's outstanding athletes, and a fellow who's as good a friend of Wakefield as we and our Detroit letter-writing companion, stopped us on the street Sunday and asked where we had obtained our in- formation on Dick's "bad habits." We showed him the letter we receivedt and told him what we knew about it but our athletic friend wasn't convinced.t , "The bozo who wrote that letter should be horse-whipped," he said.- "Wakefield has no more bad habits now than when he was at school and up until a week before he left for Winston-Salem he hadn't even had a date in Detroit." No matter what his Detroit activities were, however, things aren't quite the same in Winston-Salem. There, according to all reports, he 1 lives at the city's most expensive hotel, spends a little time playing t billiards and goes to the movies occasionally-no more. Dick went 0 for t 4 in his first Piedmont League contest but came through with two hits 3 in four times at bat in his second.t More On The All-Stars VOTING for the College All-Star squad will end at midnight tonight and the starting team will be announced by the Chicago Tribune Thursday. At this writing Harmon is the individual star, with 952,427 votes, EvashevskiE heads the quarterbacks, Frutig is fifth end, Fritz and Sukup are 19th and 22nd among the guards, and Kromer is 33rd halfback.t Ruth HUbert, Brigham- Quad To Hold DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN (Continued from Page 2) The University Bureau of Appoint ments and Occupational Information has received notice of the following Civil Service Examinations.

Bagley, Professor Emeritus of Education Teachers Col- lege, Columbia University, in his lec- ture yesterday aimed to summarize the principal educational gains that have been made in the development of American education during recent years. He raised the question as to which of these gains weushould attempt to safeguard in the troublous times that lie ahead. In attempting to answer this, he pointed out certain criteria that could be relied on as a basis for judgment. These are: a primary function of American education will continue to be the preservation and extension of the ideals of American democracy and what is now so frequently re- ferred to as the "American Way of Life;" any of the recent advances in education that promise to sustain and augment the productive capacities of the American people, both agricultur- al and industrial, should be safe- guarded and extended; notable pro- gress has been made in health edu- cation-there should be no backward movemdnt here. 't'he present crisis has shown clear- ly the need for a high degree of effi- ciency on the part of the workers in a great many fields-not only high- ly skilled craftsmen, but technologists and technicians, physicians, psychia- trists, nurses, and public health work- ers, social-welfare workers and direc- tors of personnel; a fundamental need of a democracy, and especially of a large-scale democracy, is a "commun- ity of culture"-ideas, understand- ings, and aspirations that are com- mon to as large a proportion of the population as possible. Lists Gains First: the development of the high school as a non-selective school. Sec- ondary education in many parts of the country is as nearly universal to- day as was elementary education at the turn of the century. This devel- opment has not been accomplished without a relaxation of standards, and to establish rigorous standards for those members of each generation that are competent to meet them and to provide suitable high school pro- Receive Conga Award Winners of the conga contest at the dance Saturday at the League were Ruth Hilbert and Robert Brig-. ham. Upon the basis of gracefulness in exceuting the sep, the judge, Nestor Velasco, graduate student from Puer- to Rico, who had demonstrated the step with Peggy Whitker, chose the dancers for the award. Besides the dance demonstration table games were played throughout the evening in the ballrodm lobby. = g Music Hour grams for the others constitutes the most serious problem of American education today. Second: The continued upward ex- pansion of mass-education into the junior college, which has been for some time the fastest growing divi- sion of the educational system. In this connection, the possibilities of providing greatly improved facilities for vocational and particularly semi- professional education are worth not- ing. Third: The remarkable develop- ment of adult education both through adult classes and by means of the radio. Teacher Education Advanced Fourth: Very substantial advances in the education of teachers, especial- ly, during the past 10 or 15 years. The country as a whole 25 years ago gave less attention to the education of teachers, especially for the elemen- tary schools, than did any other com- parable nation. It stands now well toward the top, although our profes- sional schools for teachers still fail to attract their fair share of the Play Bridge Today In League Contest Novices and veterans in the field of bridge-playing are welcome alike at the duplicate bridge hour held weekly, at 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays in the League, under the chairmanship of Barbara McIntyre, assistant to the social adviser ofythe League. Each tournament is a completed one, and no scores are held over. For the winners and runners-up in the. East-West and North-South groups there are weekly prizes.
