LOOKING AT SPORTS

— By DON CUDDY — After the Hurricanes lost to South Carolina Friday the question arose whether the best team always wins the ball game. It seemed that Miami was better in most departments than the Columbians even though Rex Enright had a good crew of Gamecocks. The team that plays the breaks and wins is always the best team. Some of the good fortune that smiled on the Gamecocks was freakish (such as those booming pnts of Harry Ghaul and Al Kasulin which came heartbreakingly close to going out of bounds inside the Carolina five yard line), but mostly the Gamecocks were just quick to capitalize on Miami's fumblitis and that definitely deserves respect. Carolina on the Ball On the other hand, South Carolina was very stingy about fumbling or doing anything else wrong to aid the Hurricanes. One real break might have reversed the final outcome but that opportunity didn't materialize. The Hurricanes had to do it the hard way and they didn't quite have it Friday night. Several times the locals were so near and yet so far ... that thrilling desperation tackle of Hal Johnson after he caught Clive Schrader's pass and was off to the races in the third-from-the-last-play of the game ... at least two instances when one man was all that stopped "Whitey" Campbell from going all the way ... the third down Carolina punt that Art Saey broke through to block ... the Gamecock's recovered the loose ball and booted out of danger on the next play) ... if it had been the last down ... There were so many "ifs" in that ball game and some unpleasant "buts"—like the Miami player's insistance that the ball hasn't crossed the goal line yet on Carolina's T. D. I respect Coach Jack Harding's comment that "it wouldn't have made much difference so why protest the decision ..." Credit Where 'Tis Due South Carolina was in peak mental shape for the game; they paced themselves like mile runners until the final whistle. 'Can't say it's a safe thing to do, but between the 30-yard lines the Carolinians saved themselves as much as they could. And they were smart cookies when the going got rough—letting the Hurricanes take the penalty raps while they settled back innocently. Too, that Bishop Strickland is the best seat-back seen in the Bowl since Gene Roberts of Chattanooga and maybe we can go back further than that to find his equal in Charlie Justice ... it's hard to believe that a 190-pound man could move so fast. Fourth and Forty Count me in with the majority of fans who were pretty much disgusted by the officiating Friday night. It slowed a great ball game down to faltering between-penalties play. But on thinking it over, maybe the refs have a good argument in their favor. When two teams like the Hurricanes and the Gamecocks clash the play can very suddenly get completely out of the official's hands (if they let even minor infractions slide by) and then somebody is going to get hurt. Dropping-the-handkerchief was overdone but it was the kind of ball game that had to be slowed down to keep under control. Small Fry Two youngsters broke into this sitting with an account of their ball game—which was just as important to the 22 (Please turn to page 11)

SEEK NAME COLISEUM WILL HOUSE FIRST RIDDLE QUINTET Boles Drills 18 Good Prospects For Nov. 25th Southern Opener

Riddle College basketball coach Leo Boles has closed a deal with Coliseum officials for the use of the palestra to accommodate the first "formal" cage squad in the school's history. Eighteen candidates for the as yet unnamed quintet, including a half dozen former Miami Edison players, have been drilling for the past week on the Colonnade Building court in preparation for the opening game against Thomas Edison College of Fort Meyers on Nov. 25. Edison High School gymnasium is tentatively the site of the inaugural contest, Boles said, and his team will probably play its first game in the Coliseum against Tampa University on Dec. 12. From outstanding prospects will form the nucleus of the Riddle cage representation in what Boles termed "a promising first team." All are sophomore or freshmen members and bid for an even stronger quintet after a season's experience, he pointed out. Howard Obrentz, of New York, captain of last year's informal squad was named as one of the mainstays, along with Mackey MacDonald, former Edison star, and Don Meeley, who captained the Hialeahites this past season. Avon Bryant, Everett Smith, Bill Goodwin, Lee Benjamin and Allen Gibbs are other ex-Miami Edison cagers who will wear Riddle colors. The roster reveals that two other area high schools have contributed talent to Riddle's first squad. Bill Zimmerman and Bob Bohanan are ex-Stingarees and LEO "Doc" BOLES will guide the J. P. Riddle Inter-American College basketball team through the school's first formal athletic program. Important game on the Riddle schedule is with Furman at the Coliseum the first of the year. Alan Sheer played with Miami Beach. Other members of the squad are: Bill Dacey, St. Petersburg; Charles Nickles, Fort Pierce; Sid Walker, and Ray Miller from Lincoln High, New York; and Frank Ickblon, also of New York. Outstanding game scheduled to date is with Furman University, strong Southern conference contender, on Dec. 30, and the slate includes games with St. Petersburg Junior College, West Palm Beach Junior College, and Florida Southern of Lakeland.

DESJARDINS SEEKS GIRLS FOR SHOW Open Practice At Venetian Saturday

Plans began to move forward today for what the Orange Bowl has promised will be the biggest water show either Coral Gables or Greater Miami has ever witnessed—the Orange Bowl show at the Venetian Pool during festival week. Pete Desjardins, former Olympic diver who will produce the show, issued a call for girl swimmers and announced a series of regular Saturday practice sessions for a 48-girl water ballet, the largest ever attempted in this area. Practices will begin this week at the Venetian Pool for Miami and Coral Gables candidates, and at the MacFadden-Deauville hotel pool for Miami Beach girls. Special lighting equipment both for the pool and for a stage to be arranged at the grotto end of the pool is being assembled, Desjardins reported, and a concert orchestra is being sought to provide a musical background. The top swimmers and divers of the Miami area will be augmented by others from other parts of the country to make up the cast. Johnny Rasasco, pool director, announced that seats will be available for an estimated 2,500 spectators at each of the two performances, December 29 and 30.

GALLAGHER SPARKLES 'Musketeers' Will Be Hard To Stop Says Homko After St. Ann Win

"Walt Gallagher will be tough to stop and so will our team from here on in," Coach John Homko of the St. Theresa football Musketeers predicted immediately after the 170-pound back paced the parochial gridders through a last quarter uprising which beat St. Anns High school, 20-7, at the St. Theresa field Thursday. The victory was the Musketeer's second in the Catholic League and this week they play the crucial league game against Gesu's Crusaders, who also own an unblemished record in the loop. Saturday the smaller St. Ann held the Musketeers between the 40-yard lines well into the third quarter. The Gables school tallied first when Bob Edwards drove over from the four-yard line after a Tom Fitz-Gibbon to Rene Croteau pass. Fitz-Gibbon's conversion was blocked and the visitors tied the game up on the first play of the fourth period when Alex Serroes snagged Earl Quattlebaum's pass in the end zone. Quattlebann converted to make the score read 7-6. Time was running out on the Musketeers when Gallagher started around end on the St. Ann 40-yard marker. Gallagher was trapped momentarily, shook loose, and galloped the distance to put the Musketeers back in the ball game. After Gallagher bucked for the extra point, he also recovered Walt Eckler's fumble on the kick-off to again give St. Theresa the ball on the Crusader forty. Fitz-Gibbon, who has led the St. Theresa attack for two victories and one spirited loss to date, scooted around right end to give the Musketeers a twin touchdown on the next play. Gallagher place-kicked the extra point and that's all the time there was scoring for. St. Theresa needed those sudden scores, according to Homko, not only to win but to get his team in the right frame of mind for the all-important battle with Gesu Saturday. The downtown Crusaders, after dropping their first two non-league games, have rolled over four Catholic loop rivals and will clinch the title if they can bump St. Theresa Saturday.

Carifeo Named Assistant U-M Cage Coach

Paul Carifeo, remembered in this area as one of the greatest centers ever to play for the football Hurricanes, has been named assistant basketball coach at the University to Hart Morris. The new mentor will take over the reins of the Hurricanes Tuesday and begin whipping the six lettermen not with the grid squad and about 20 other prospects into shape. Morris will resume control immediately after the Alabama game, Nov. 28, and will bring with him at least five yettermen who will probably be the nucleus of this year's quintet. Carifeo has two years of varsity experience with the Hurricane cagers to support him in his new role. He was a guard in 1941 and 1942 before entering the service. Now married and working for a master's degree in physical education, Carifeo resides at the University's Veterans Housing project at the international airport. In his assistantship, Carifeo replaces John "Red" Tobin, who has been assigned as recreation director of the University's South campus at Perrine.

U-M Tennis Singles Open Thursday

The University of Miami Singles Championship, sponsored by the University Tennis club, starts Thursday at 2 p. m. on the North campus stadium courts, Bud Hart and Charlie Lundgren, members of the tournament committee, have announced. Five regulars on last year's varsity, Tony Vincent, Bill Turner, Bruce Johnson, Hart and Lundgren have entered the tourney and Sidney Schwartz, number one ranking junior in the East, and Tom Burke are newcomers expected to make a strong bid in the talented field. Barbara Scofield and Betty Hulbert James, ranked 16 and 17 nationally will head the women's field. Doris Hart, number one racquette wielder on the women's squad, is on a successful tour of South American tennis circles and is not expected to return in time to participate. Newly-named tennis coach John Howard is expected to watch the matches carefully to evaluate material for the varsity roster.

Golf Is Different

Golf isn't at all like any other sport. One who plays golf is almost always attired in clean clothes, sometimes even wears a tie, and is always polite. Imagine a hulking lineman on a football field saying to a ball-carrying opponent: "You go first; you're up."

Malletmen Break Ivy League Ice

The University's first polo team will do in their initial year what the football warriors have yearned to accomplish for many seasons: schedule intercollegiate meetings with Ivy league foes. Tentatively, the Hurricanes have dates set with Yale, Cornell, Princeton, Williams and Georgetown, with all games to be played in the Orange Bowl. A call for candidates for the squad was sent out this week. Practice is expected to begin at the Delray Polo club at Delray Beach in about two weeks when Coaches Mike Phipps and Stewart Iglehart arrive in Miami.
