Sophomore Bennett of Cornell is another high scorer despite the fact that injuries shelved him for the final game of the year.

Howard's Seabiscuit, odds-on favorite for the handicap, was unable to make an appearance because of an injured ankle. If the loyal Californians expected to see a second-rate race they had the surprise of their lives. For Owner Howard's second-best entry, an Argentine colt named Kayak II, not only outran his 15 rivals but set a new track record for a mile and a quarter-2 min., 1 2/5 seconds...
