Sport: Scoreboard, Oct. 31, 1955

¶The nation's leading steeplechase jockey, Frank ("Dooley") Adams, rode five-year-old Neji, the year's top steeplechase horse (five firsts in eight starts) to a three-quarter-length win in the world's richest steeplechase, the $57,300 Temple Gwathmey at New York's Belmont Park.

¶Three months before the opening of the indoor-track season, Lieut. Wes Santee of the U.S. Marine Corps displayed mid-season form at an Olympic Carnival in New York's Madison Square Garden. Miler Santee easily outdistanced six competitors and ran the mile in 4:05.2, less than two seconds off the Garden record (4:03.6).

¶Jimmy Carter, 31, of New York, who three times lost his lightweight title and twice regained it in return bouts, failed to turn the trick again. Champion Wallace ("Bud") Smith, 26, who dethroned Carter last June, defeated him again in a 15-round bout at Cincinnati.
