Horse Races Take United War Stand Front Men for "Business As Usuol" Policy; Forget Better Breading Chestnut By SID FEDER NEW YORK, Feb. 10 (P) It took a small matter of some 200 years and a world wnr to do it, but racing apparently has grown up at last. It wasn't so much the fact that the "front men" of racing took their first united stand today to give the turf a morc-or-lcss dctl nlte wnr-tlme policy of "business as usual," with certain necessary alterations. The rent eyebrow holster wns that nowhere in their entlro three-page outline of just where the geo-gecs fit into the war picture did they even hint at that old chestnut about rac ing being here "for the improve ment of the breed" alone. And having wisely . omitted this ancient wheeze, which has been as overworked in the past as Mayor LnGuardla's coffee grounds, the "front men," speak ing for 33 tracks In IS states, went all out and acknowledged that tho sport Is a big business a $100,000,000 industry in fact and wants to be treated as such by governmental agencies studying the war effort. By thus letting the boys and girls In on two "secrets," the directors of the Thoroughbred Racing Associations, Inc. track operators all gave proof that racing has come of ago. ' Even Ben Lrlndhcimcr, head man of Chicago's Arlington and Wash ington parks, described it Just thut way as ho went over tho clear nine-point statement tho directors Issued, marking tho most cooperative work a set of truck owners hove accomplished. From a sports standpoint, tho most important point was that "conditions, emergencies and contingencies may require the consolidation of somo meetings In various sections," and defi nitely "will require a reduction In the number of meetings and races run" this year.

Robinson to Meet Wilson In Garden Go NEW YORK, Feb. 19 (P) Ray Robinson collides with Sergeant Jackie Wilson in the year's top welterweight brawl tonight in Madison Square Garden, and from this fuss the folks figure to find out just how much was taken out of Ray by the first defeat of his career. A couple of weeks ago, the skinny Harlem Hammer's all winning string of 139 fights as amateur and pro was snapped when Jake Lamotta, a rugged Bronx belter, punched him around for ten rounds in Detroit. And a couple of weeks before that, Juke did the same to Wil son, who, as California Jackie, Is not to be confused with the Pittsburgh featherweight of the same name. On each of these occasions, however, Jake, a full-sized middeweight, had an edge of 15 or 16 pounds on his welterweight rivals. And at his full 180 pounds, Jake is a solid citizen, about as playful as a slightly perturbed porcupine.

Griffith, commis sioner of athletics for the West ern conference, said today a group of college presidents had advised army officials to take a stand against participation in intercollegiate athletics. He said the action was taken by a few university heads who don I like college athletics," and that it was followed up by last week's announcement by army officials that university men trained for the army in colleges would not have time to compete in intercollegiate ath letics.

"Many don't like college athletics, but there are many others Captain Arthur Rad ford, who conceived the navy Preflight training program; Gen eral MacArthur, Admiral Hal fey, General Hugh Drum, and Secretary of the Navy Knox who have seen fit to commend competitive sport for the role it plays as a super-conditioner of men for battle."
