(U.R) Swaps, whose fighting heart carried him to fame and riches on the race track, today faced the biggest test of his fabulous career a life or death struggle in a stall at Garden State Park. The fabulous Swaps, a regular odds-on favorite at the post, was confronted with the longest odds of his career in his battle against a leg fracture which could re sult in his destruction. "It's 100-to-l against him." Dr. William Miller, track vet erinarian said. "He'll be a mir acle horse if he pulls through." ill Pacific Coast Conference Games Sponsored by TRU-MIX EGE Saturday, Oct 20 Universiy of So. Calif. vs. Washington KBES-TV 1:45 p.m. m-m CONCRETE COMPANY Phone 2-5271 248 E. McAndrew Rd. A team of four top veterinar ians fought to save the fractured left hind leg of the million dollar thoroughbred in an around-the-clock vigil, but fear ed he might be destined for destruction. The "vets" placed a new and specially-designed cast on Swaps after the fourth highest money winner in America racing his tory broke the old cast last Sun day, aggravating a five-day-old slight fracture of the leg below the knee. Placed In Sling The 4-year-old then was placed in a sling sent from New York by "Sunny Jim" Fitzsimmons, trainer of Nashua, Swaps' arch rival, who beat him in a two- horse match race after Swaps topped him in winning the 1955 Kentucky Derby. Swaps, holder of four world records and winner of $848,000, added new woes to an already painful injury when he struck the leg against the side of his stall while trying to get to his feet. The new cast applied Tues day night is fashioned to make it impossible for Swaps to move any part of the leg to promote healing of the fracture. The sling will keep his hind hoofs several inches off the floor of his stall. Swaps, owned by Rex. C. Ellsworth of Chino, Calif., and John W. Galbreath, president of the Pittsburg Pirates, has won 19 of his 25 races.

Boomerang Has Comeback in Field Of Aerodynamics Washington (U.R) American boys and physics professors are having a fling with the centuries-old boomerang. An increasingly popular ob ject of sport, the boomerang is also being used by teachers to demonstrate principles of aero dynamics. One physicist de scribes it as a "combination of helicopter, discus, gyroscope, and inclined plane." He has as much fun hurling one as any youngster. So also, apparently, do the aborigines of Australia, some of whom still use the sickle-shaped stick for recreation as well as hunting. Expert "abos" have been known to throw the "kiley," as they call it, 150 feet into the air, make it circle five times and even bounce on the ground before finally coming back. One champion used to spe cialize in a William Tell stunt. Balancing an apple on his head, he would throw the boomerang and stand rod straight until the weapon returned and knocked the apple from his head. Aussies Put Boom in Boomerang Although the Australians gen erally are credited with having been the first to build the hom ing instict into the boomerang, they are not the only people who have used this throwing stick. Ancient Egyptians favored a nonreturning stick for hunting birds. Hunters were so expert they could knock down a bird as it was rising in flight. Thus stunned, it could be retrieved by a trained cat. Until the 20th century, Egyp tians equipped some of their army divisions with war boom erangs. In the American south west, the Hopi Indians still hunt with an S-shaped throwing stick. Other boomerang-like weapons have been found in India, Cele bes, Borneo, and Ethiopia. Some from India are made of steel. Others are carved from ivory. In the United States, a few manufacturers make them out of plastic. But the common est material is wood: naturally bent hardwood. In Australia, where making boomerangs is as much an art as throwing them, manufactur erseven with mass-production techniques are rushed to keep up with the tourist trade. They make a variety of models, rang ing in size from a two-inch sou venir to a four-foot, deadly non returning, big-game boomerang. A oneway boomerang is usually larger and less angled than the "comeback" type. The surfaces of its arms, .moreover, are equally curved so that little lift is generated and it flies al most straight. Why Does it Come Back? The round-trip type is nearly flat on one surface and rounded on the other. It has been likened to a pair of airplane wings, joined at an agle of from 70 to 120 degrees, with the thick edge of one wing meeting the thin edge of the other. The play of air over these unevenly curved surfaces, plus the over-all cir cling motion, makes the boom erang return. To be sure a boomerang will fly right, a manufacturer usually tests his product before releas ing it. One visitor to an Austral ian factory was nearly hit in the head before he realized he was on the factory's test range. The offending boomerangs, the own er explained, had all passed the test. In this business, he gloated, there are no rejects. Bad boom erangs just don't come back.
