MEET THE JAYCEES Ender Deserts Smoky City After Visiting Coral Gables

JAYCEES Although he hails from Pittsburgh, Pa., Charles Laird Ender, one of the latest members to join the Coral Gables Junior Chamber of Commerce, has no intention of returning to the Smoky City after living in Coral Gables for a year. "Coral Gables," declared the 26-year-old Jaycee, "is one of the loveliest towns in the South, or anywhere." One of a series of articles on members of the Coral Gables Junior Chamber of Commerce A graduate of Aspinwall High, Pittsburgh, Mr. Ender served in the air corps as a corporal for five years. In the ordnance branch of the air forces he acted as an aircraft armorer. The former Pittsburgher, who resides at 1662 S. W. 18th Avenue, is employed in the Dade County Tax Collector's office as a deputy tax collector. A member of the Harvey W. Seeds Post, No. 29 of the American Legion and the Coral Gables Presbyterian Church, Mr. Ender lists tennis, golf and fishing as his favorite sports. "In Coral Gables, there are countless opportunities to pursue these sports," Mr. Ender said. "With so many sports in the city and the wonderful climate, it's easy to see why I plan on making this city my permanent home." CHARLES ENDER The National Safety Council says that 32 per cent of all injured pedestrians in the nation during 1946 were in the age group of 5 to 14 years, although this age group includes only 16 per cent of the total population.

LOOKING AT SPORTS

BY DON CUDDY Riviera-Times Sports Editor From all reports this Baylor aggregation that will inaugurate the University of Miami's 1947 grid season in the Orange Bowl at 8:15 tonight is an outfit to be reckoned with. They're one game up on the Hurricanes in experience with a 34-0 whitewash of Austin College back at their Waco, Texas, stamping-grounds last week. An opening game is a sort of shakedown cruise for a football team—a trial run where every coach finds there's plenty of room for improvement. The Baylors probably made mistakes but did all right for themselves in their premier: They were supposed to beat a "breather" like Austin by three touchdowns and they were able to add a pair of extra tallies for good measure. That kind of scoring power is dangerous to an untried team like the Hurricanes. It's elementary that head coach Jack Harding will have his club rigged to balk the Bear's excellent running attack from the T-formation, as reported by U-M scout Tony Cianci. The Hurricanes also drilled this week to throttle the Texans' aerial game, which Cianci suspects Coach Bob Woodruff of Baylor did not care to flash in his presence. Last season Miami was hot and cold on pass-defense against the T-formation—even when coaches and players had a pretty fair idea of what they were up against. So you can count on plenty of concentration there—especially from a Texas team. After Cianci scouts an opponent he can practically tell you how a given halfback likes his eggs in the morning, his report is that complete. Back from Waco he brought diagrams and technical notes that might not mean much to the layman, but which acknowledge the Bears have plenty of spirit and hustle, depth in the line, a good scat-back named George Sims, and fullback Sammy Pierce—who is listed among the surprises Baylor is "saving" for the Hurricanes. Baylor is not rated to be Miami's toughest opponent this year so Jack Harding may not be inclined to unwrap some of the new wrinkles and players he's built into the 1947 Hurricane—if he can help it. Opening against a dark-horse like Baylor is a hard way to begin a campaign, however, and Miami might have to show mid-season form early to win. Too, Harding has some problems of tactics and players that have to be settled on before the going really gets tough—and the only way he can prove he's got a better team than before is to test it under fire. Seldom do paying customers get excited any more about what a first class team does in early season to a Normal school outfit making a desperate bid for intersectional prestige. True sometimes a red-hot underdog like Cincinnati upsets an Indians—but how often? Rather than disappoint Gus Fan with a dull, one-sided "contest", why don't the big schools merely invite the small fry down for a sociable weekend, show off their muscles, and send the youngsters back to their own class impressed without being racked up in the nickel seats? Or, since the big-timers do need a few less gruelling weekends and the up-and-coming teams deserve a crack at the headlines, why not keep a date open until at least three weeks after the season gets underway and then select some scrappy club that has earned a reputation and is sure to give the faithful rooter his money's worth while making its bid? Football fans here are getting used to the idea of a fast-starting season and a record thirty-odd thousand are expected for this evening's game. Harding wants to avoid the rut most colleges are in that schedule "warm-up" games with inferior teams. He went out of his way attempting to book Georgia as the 1948 opener, which some quarters labeled as plain suicide.

Ponce Band Officers Are Elected

New officers of the Ponce de Leon High School band for the year 1947-48 were announced today by Paul Cremaschi, band director. Pat Harshbarger was chosen as drum majorette; Lawrence Day as captain; E. P. Ellis, first lieutenant; Ted Ganyard, sergeant; John Gould, sergeant; and Gene Neill, sergeant. Three corporals were elected, Nona Lee Reiman, Tommy Embrey, and Edgar Thompson. Secretaries Named Carita Carballo was elected corresponding secretary, Dolores Huskamp, attendance secretary, and Dorothy Knight, uniform secretary. Shirley Albury was named treasurer, Victor Johanson, librarian, and Richard Leinecker, quartermaster. The 73 members of the band are preparing to perform at all the local football games and will probably go to Vero Beach for the game there. Cadet Officers Officers of the cadet band were also elected for this year. Carlton Cook will act as secretary, Barbara Gregory as treasurer, and Henry Schlittler will serve as librarian. Preparations are already under way for the spring festival, announced Mr. Cremaschi. The Ponce de Leon band as well as other Dade county bands will participate in this annual event.

These Lads Excell In Football as Well

DICK COOPER Robert Campbell of Caldwell, N. J., who scored 318 points to set a new University of Miami record for basketball scoring last winter, is a football candidate this fall and is going well at wing back. Arthur Saey of St. Louis, the national intercollegiate boxing champion in the heavyweight division, is one of the leading tackles.

Played His Cards Right

"I hope you enjoyed your game with the major," said the hostess to one of her guests. "He's a very clever hand at cards, isn't he?" "He certainly is," replied the guest. "He started by telling my fortune and now he's counting it."

Former Gables Resident Candidate for Governor

A visit to Coral Gables to see relatives and renew old acquaintances, including a personal call at the Riviera-Times, was part of the recent itinerary of former Gableite Richard H. (Dick) Cooper, 27-year-old war veteran who is candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor next spring. "Issues such as the prospect of a new state constitution, tax structure revision, and soil and water control programs are vital to every Floridian," Cooper stated in an effort to urge citizens to acquaint themselves thoroughly with the issues of the 1948 elections. Formerly a local resident, Cooper lived at 537 Avenue Majorca in the 1920's. His brother, Edmund P. Cooper, now resides at 6227 S. W. 14th Street. Before entering law school at Stetson University in Deland where he is now a student, Cooper was a newspaperman, having worked on newspapers in Orlando, Fort Pierce, Sarasota, Lakeland, and Clearwater.

Plan Intramural Polo At University of Miami
