Harding Juggles Backs For G. Washington Johnson Shifted to Fullback Savvy Colonial Line Averages 220 Pounds

Seeking more offensive punch for his team, Coach Jack Harding this week revealed an experimental shifting of ace passer Hal Johnson to fullback in order to make room for either speedy Al Kasulin or Bob "Whitey" Campbell in the starting tailback slot for the Hurricane's clash with George Washington university at the Orange Bowl tonight. There was still a possibility that Campbell, the sophomore sensation of the Rollins game, would remain at his right halfback post to insure that both he and Kasulin can operate in the backfield. Johnson will give way to Harry Ghaul in the starting fullback role, but when inserted in the game will give the Hurricanes three fast and pass throwing ball carriers — a combination that is expected to more than make up for the sluggish ground attack demonstrated in Miami's four games thus far. Doyle Game Captain Veteran center Keith Doyle, of Curtis, Neb., will captain the rejuvenated U of M eleven as they buck for their second victory against the heaviest line they are expected to meet this season. The winless Colonials have built a concentrated rushing attack around Captain Carl Butkus, 245-pound tackle, Head Coach Skip Stahley of the Capital City eleven announced earlier this week. In four losses to Virginia, VMI, Washington and Lee and Wake Forest, the Colonials have displayed little in the way of a passing attack but boast running back Bill Spangler, who has a rushing average of nearly four yards per carry and it an outstanding punter, averaging better than 41 yards per boot. Weak Pass Pass defense is the vital weakness of the Colonials, according to Hurricane scout Tony Cianci who watched tonight's opponents smothered under Wake Forest passes, 39-7, at Washington Saturday. But for the first time this season the local squad will be up against a line averaging 220 pounds, including the impregnable Butkus and running-mate "Tiny" Shipman. The undefeated Deacons couldn't budge this pair and they may stop the local team's attack unless the added speed and deception of Kasulin, Campbell and Johnson clicks. Fieler, Moyer Move Up The Miami forward wall will have the same starters with the exception of ends Ed Hauck and Tony Yovicsin. Big Ralph Fieler, 6'5" flankman who has started one game this year, against Villanova, will move up to replace Yovicsin, and three-year veteran Ed Moyer will be in at the kickoff in place of Hauck. Art Saey, who made good in his first bid against Rollins, and Ernie Settembre will control the tackle situation; Mario DeMarco and George Carifeo will be at the guards; and Doyle will captain the squad from the pivot. In the backfield, Ernie Mazejka will start his fourth game this season at blocking back, and Bob Bowman will be at wingback unless Campbell remains at the number one post. Game time is 8:15 p.m. Probable starting lineups: G. Washington | Position | Miami Korzep | le | Fieler Sornberger (capt.) | lt | Saey Sanders | lg | Carifeo Zunic | c | Doyle (capt.) Regan | rg | DeMarco Shipman | rt | Settembre Close | re | Moyer Wapinsky | qb | Mazejka Kline | lh | Kasulin, or Campbell Dottoff | rh | Bowman Spangler | fb | Ghaul

CAPTAIN CARL BUTKUS, of the George Washington Colonials may prove an immovable object in the path of the Hurricanes as they seek their second victory tonight. Butkus has been outstanding for the Washington Ruff and Blue and Grantland Rice rates the 245-pound tackle as one of the finest linemen in Southern football.

LOOKING AT SPORTS (Continued from Page 10)

in this particular game there wasn't a single penalty called on either team until 12 minutes of the third quarter had elapsed. Then the 'Canes were docked five yards for delay and later 15 for an accidental clipping that was hardly noticed. As far as we can find out, that one-score was the least amount of yardage any Miami team has ever been penalized—and yet they were chastised by the fans for roughing the Tars. The officiating was good, so it looked as though the visiting delegation (plus quite a few sunshine Miami fans) came prepared and couldn't restrain themselves. 'CANE LINE GETTING TOUGH The right side of the Hurricane forward wall was nearly invincible on defense when Mario DeMarco, Art Saey and Ed Hauck were in the ball game. Saey and Mario broke through several times to dump Rollins plays for losses... and Ed constantly fought off two or three blue and gold blockers, forcing sweeps around his flank wide and stripping the interferers—a set-up for any alert line backer. Rudy Lutz brought up from the 'B' squad just this week to alleviate the injury-riddled pivot position, rates more varsity duty by the way he put out backing up the line against the Tars. THE GOOD FIGHT Johnny Noppenberg was proud of his Cavalier's fight against Miami Beach Saturday, although they dropped the heart-breaker, 12-6. The Ponce team pushed the Typhoons around plenty but fumbled away opportunities every time they started clicking or else had passes intercepted at crucial moments. H. L. Watson, coach of the Vero Beach Indians, who play host to the Cavaliers tonight, had plenty of praise for the deceptiveness and spirit of the Cavaliers, although he admitted they had at least one weak spot in the line. NOPPY MAY USE DEEP PUNT Noppenberg realizes that the Beach was primed to stop his attack and that certainly helped take its toll. So watch for a change in formations to get the most from Cavalier talent, particularly for a second trial of the deep punt formation which helped knock over Jackson last season. LANE OUT FOR SEASON The Typhoons hurt Ponce more than by that one touchdown margin. Until last week the Cavaliers had three outstanding candidates for all-city honors. End George Lane, and halfbacks Malcolm Johnson and Sonny Parrish. Lane is probably through for the season, according to Noppenberg, because of a small bone fracture in his foot. He played a brilliant game against the Typhoons and several colleges are after his services—particularly the University of Miami. Parrish proved himself a great line-backer as well as ball carrier until injuries sidelined him. TAYLOR'S GIVE TROPHIES In mentioning the Hurricane Boosters who are rewarding the outstanding linemen and backs of each game with merchandise gifts, we forgot to include Taylor Sports shops' weekly trophy for the game captains. For the Rollins game honors went to Ed Hauck and Bob Campbell, donated by A. L. Louis and Sons and Marty Miles Jewelers. If you know of any other boosters who would like to aid the used Hurricanes, Mrs. Harvey James (at the University's athletic office) will appreciate your suggestions. WEEKEND CHAMPIONS From what we hear the Gables Board of Realtors must have forgot all about selling the City Beautiful in preference to digging up some of Crandon Park on their rollicking outing Saturday. The Brokers and the Salesmen broke even, 8-8, at the end of three innings in their soft sand-ball game . . . Frank Kerdyk's entry in the Frog Derby edged Marvin Duncan's Leaping Lena . . . Ruth Starr made the best time in the quarter-century dash for gals and Ted Wayne went one yard further to win for the guys . . . C. A. Riley did the coconut shot-put up fine and Mrs. Leonard Gentil was at least as proficient with her rollin' pin—Leonard matched his frau, however, in the egg race. The Ted Waynes likewise got together in the three-legged gallop . . . and Chip Edwards was the least back in the backward race for backward people. And the Riviera proved beyond doubt that it is agile at something—for Al Harum won the cracker-eatin' contest.

TWO BASKETBALL LEAGUES FORMING

Ed Beckman of the Youth Center has set up plans for a two-league basketball program, the first in the Gables sporting history for this winter. Under the sponsorship of the Center there will be an eight team men's league and a similar high school loop, with the winners of each competing in the Gold Ball tournament. The J. P. Riddle college has offered their court in the Colonnade building on Coral Way for the games. All of the sponsors of teams in the Softball league conducted this summer are expected to enter teams, accredited officials will be used, all games will be played on week nights starting in December, and approximately 200 men and boys are expected to participate in the leagues. Entries for teams are still being accepted so that a schedule can be set up.

Former University of Miami tennis coach Mercer Beasley with his newest protegee Miss Rhodda Hopkins, second ranking junior tennis player in the East. The promising Forest Hills, L. I. netter is currently enrolled at the University but may transfer to Rollins college. Beasley has been appointed by the City Commission as an advisor to the reconditioning of the Salvador park courts. (See story).

CONCRETE REJECTED Salvador Court Reconditioning Begun

City work crews have begun the project of reconditioning the Salvador park clay tennis courts under the supervision of Harley Pittman, City Manager William T. McIlwain announced this week. The reconditioning process was ordered by McIlwain after a discussion with Gables tennis enthusiasts Monday regarding the possibility of installing concrete courts. An estimated cost of $10,000 for the installation of the special concrete courts vetoed the recommendation and McIlwain and the committee compromised on rebuilding the park courts according the University of Miami tennis court specifications. A committee headed by Mercer Beasley, former U. of M. net coach, was appointed to act as advisors for the project. Pittman will determine that all materials and work live up to specifications. In addition an appropriation in the budget of $18,075 for purchase of material and labor costs for the installation of floodlights will make night play possible as soon as underground cables and other equipment can be obtained. McIlwain estimated a period of from 30 to 90 days may be necessary before installation because of the scarcity of such materials. Mercer Beasley, Ike Macy, Pete White, Harry Taylor and Leo Fullwood comprised the group who presented the argument for concrete courts. Beasley corroborated an earlier statement by Fullwood, Salvador park director, that concrete courts would enable more people to play in all weather and contribute to the development of amateur tennis players in Coral Gables. California, where concrete courts are used almost exclusively, has produced ten of the last 20 national tennis champions, Beasley stated, because the youngsters are able to get plenty of training on the courts. Another strong case presented for the concrete construction was the economy of upkeep. Salvadore's four clay courts have only been playable ten times since their construction due to water damage, Fullwood asserted, while the two asphalt courts have seen steady service.

V.F.W. Seeks Share of Coliseum Boxing; Gables Athletic Comission Pending

Col. Wallace E. Hackett, Commander of the Ray Renuart Post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Tuesday asked the City Commission to allow other Coral Gables veterans' organizations to share in the sponsorship of fights to be staged at the Coliseum this winter under the auspices of American Legion post 98. Hackett was advised to take the matter up with the Legion, since the Commission could only okay the recommendation of the Zoning Board to allow the reconversion of the Coliseum into a palestra. The Commission also announced that a Coral Gables Athletic Board will soon be appointed to govern all sporting activity here as well as the ring shows but will have no jurisdiction over the sponsorship arrangements. Post 98 has entered into a two-year contract with W. H. Peeples, jr., to sponsor a minimum of one prize fight and wrestling ehibition a month, with an option to extend the contract another three years—the full length of the lease Peeples has signed with the Embry J. Riddle School of Aviation. Peeples, who first indicated he would offer exclusive promotional rights to Joe Freeman, this week revealed that he may do his own promoting in cooperation with Post 98 if management of the Coliseum allows him enough time to handle the additional duties.

Baby 'Canes On Rebound For Auburn

Coach Harvey James of the University of Miami's 'B' football team expressed confidence that his 37-man squad would rebound from their narrow 7-6 loss to the University of Florida jayvees at Orlando Saturday for their second start of the season opposing the Alabama Polytechnical Institute (Auburn) squad at Valdosta, Ga., tomorrow night. James, who concentrated on the line-smashing talents of Frank Smith and fullback Al Carapella to march 82 yards for the baby Hurricane's first period score said he was well satisfied with his team's running attack in its first showing. However, Smith, who scored the TD on a nine yard sweep to climax the drive, will be out of action this week with a cracked rib.

STRETCH IT OUT WITH KRAUT! You won't hear a single beef about ground beef prepared this way: To 1⁄2 lb. add 1⁄2 tsp. salt; shape into balls and cook in 2 tbsps. fat until browned, turning occasionally. Add 1 cup boiling water, 2 onions (cut in halves), 1 cup cooked or canned tomatoes and 1 #2 can of A&P SAUERKRAUT. Simmer about 1 hour. Serves 4. LEFT-OVER "PUSH-OVER" Two cups of left-over meat will serve 4 to 6 people... right... if it's stretched so: Mix together 1 finely chopped onion, 1⁄8 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. horseradish, 1 tsp. mustard and 1⁄8 tsp. pepper. Add to 2 cups mashed potatoes. Combine 1 egg (beaten), 1⁄2 cup WHITE HOUSE EVAPORATED MILK from the A&P (undiluted), 1 tbsp. melted margarine and 2 cups left-over or ready-cooked meat (chopped).
