Little Stadium Will Draw Only Small-Time Football Contests; 'Cats Must Play Biggies On Road You hardly can blame trustees of the University of Kentucky for rejecting a bid of approximately $70 a seat to build a addition to the Wildcat football stadium. But neither can you blame big time colleges for declining to play in Lexington. So long as Stoll Field can accommodate only 25,000 or 30,000, the Wildcats will have to play most of their tough games on the road.

The Trustees are to open new. bids Tuesday for But as these seats will replace 4,000 bleacher seats, the addition will be only 6,000, a mere drop in the bucket.

The second largest crowd of the meet, 25,437 persons, saw the six- year-old gelding, who was coupled with Dinner Hour as the Grissom and Sherman entry, cross the finish line one length ahead of J. Cher's Frere Jacques. The winner's stablemate, Dinner Hour, broke last in the field of seven, and could do no better than fifth place at the finish. R.

Robertson, broke fifth, and didn't move into a contending position until he overtook the second and third horses halfway down the stretch. Frere Jacques paid $3.80 to place and $2.60 to show. Over Night stayed in third position all the way, and could not better it, although hard ridden in the stretch by Jockey L. Brubb. He paid $2.60 to show.

Sun Herod, by Sun Teddy The Damsel, was making his second start of the spring meeting. He ran third to Star Reward and Jack S. L. in the Clark Handicap last week. Longest shot of the day was Gay Secret, who romped home a length and a quarter ahead of Night Crawler and Roi Rouge in the seventh race.

Owned by J. McShane, and ridden by G. South, Gay Secret paid $36.20 for a win ticket, $16.60 to place, and $8.20 to show. Night Crawler and Roi Rouge finished in a dead heat for second place. The first race on yesterday's card matched three horses that have paid off whopping big prices recently, but the betters didn't take any chances on them being long shots yesterday.

Strathmond, the Downs biggest winner to date with a $179.60 return Monday; and Delia a $64 winner Wednesday went to the post in the first race. Patricia a $74 winner at Keeneland, also was entered in the first race. Only Strathmond finished in the money, taking third in the race won by Pouting Mac. Steve Brooks, who is leading the jockey parade at the Downs for the meeting, had two hits and two near misses on four mounts for the day. He rode Song Sparrow to victory in the fifth race and was first with Preoccupy in the eighth race.
