Halas Charges Tampering in Allen Rams Deal
Los Angeles Rams hire George Allen as head coach amid a feud with Chicago Bears owner George Halas who calls the move a tampering violation. Allen, 43, signs a multi year contract after asking Halas for permission to talk with the Rams and initially receiving it. Reeves defends negotiations and recalls Christmas contact. Halas later vetoes. Allen plans to sell his Deerfield home and pursue a Bears visit before finalizing staff.

Off and Running by John Day ddenda 65
John Longden may be the winningest active rider but not the oldest. Claude Hooner, who rode his first winner in 1924 and remains active at 59 in New England this year, and Bob Jennings of California with a tall frame and light eating habit headline a season of notable racing deeds. A Sunland Park race featured a Model T Ford foaled in 1924 and a stable pony winning a 1 furlong dash. Spendtnit Farm’s Nelson County Spendtnit horses see falfa feed pellets pressed by a Trappist monastery. Steeplechase rider Tommy Walsh wore a special shoulder harness after a collar bone break to win the Annapolis with Eagle's Top last June. Aristides’ Derby win is recalled by four witnesses and Churchill Downs staff compare today’s Derby crowd to that historic day. Joe Hernandez has called every Santa Anita race since Christmas Day 1934, even during a wheel chair period after a stable-area accident.
