COUNTRY CLUB-GOLF

-By ANN RANDOLPH Although we were unable to get in our daily nine holes for a couple of weeks because of the three feet of water on the first four holes of the Granada Golf Course, it has emerged from its watery nap in wonderful condition and is as green as the Emerald Isle itself. Quite a few of our winter visitors have returned and over 400 followers-of-the-little - white - ball toured the course over the weekend. One enthusiastic golfer called the pro shop on Saturday to reserve a 6:30 starting time on Sunday . . . R. J. Fritz, of St. Joseph, Missouri, back with us after a two year absence, is busy looking up his golfing partners. The Women's Golf Association of the Country Club will hold their championship tournament next week. Qualifying day is Monday, the 10th and match play begins on Tuesday. Twelve entries have been lined up so far. Mrs. William Redelsheimer is defending champion. There will be a medalist and putting prize, as well as one for the championship, runner-up, consolation and consolation runner-up. The trophy has been in existance at the Country Club since 1936, but play has not been held since 1942. Prizes will be on display over the week-end. "Umpd" Clark has really done a wonderful job with the recent improvements on our course. The fifth green was raised on the west side, a new green and sandtraps placed on the seventh and the ninth hole has been lengthened until it is now a par 5. "Umpd" has resumed instructing now that the greens have been put in top shape. The Men's Golfing Association will begin their championship tournament on Wednesday, Nov. 12. This will be a handicap event and qualifying round scores must be in before Wednesday, the 19th, when match play starts. Bill Gorman is golf chairman and Frank Howard is assisting him in making the pairings. A day has not been set as yet for the presentation of the trophy, but it will be determined by the size of the field. Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Smith are down again from Chatom, Ontario, for their 14th winter . . . and Mrs. Julia Green, one of our regular golfers, has just returned from several months vacation in he north-just in time to compete in the women's championships next week. Mrs. William Redelsheimer, Mrs. G. M. Nelson and Mrs. Green will compete in the Florida's Women's State Golf Tournament at Orlando on April 6. It will mark the first time that the Coral Gables Country Club has been represented at this event.

Kick-Out Handicap Tops Riviera Golf

Riviera Country Club golfers get a break tomorrow: They can kick out bum scores on any six holes and just forget they ever forgot to watch the ball when they swung. But there's a catch to it: There's a two thirds handicap on the remaining dozen holes, which makes quite a job of addition on the novelty card scheduled for this week-end. But while the casual golfers go over the course for funsies, there's serious business afoot over the week-end for the remaining rivals in the Club and Class Tournament and the Senior Tournament. The championship flight of the major tournament was narrowed down by one entry when W. L. Thornquist aced Jack Baldwin, 4-3 Thursday. In the second round of Class C play, Dr. Leo Mitchell was one-up on George Shikany after touring 19 holes. Bill Carr knocked Sam McCormick out of the tournament with a 3-2 in the second round of the championship flight consolation bracket. The scores were announced by Leonard Ott, Riviera pro, this morning. Sunday golfers enter in another blind bogey, selecting their own handicap, according to the Riviera schedule, and the first round of the Senior and third of the Club and Class tournaments are slated to be completed on the same day.

Campbell Top Scorer

Bob "Whitey" Campbell, three letterman at the University in his freshman year, netted 100 points above the previous Hurricane basketball individual high-scoring mark set by John "Red" Tobin in 1942. His 28 points against Cincinnati also set a new single-game scoring record.

Nick names in the Navy

are common, but rarely is an Admiral known chiefly by such a name. Rear Admiral Joseph James Clark, however, was asked once by the Secretary of the Navy at a Press conference, what his initials were, as he knew him only as "Jocko" Clark.

Hal Johnston IS THE HURRICANE'S PASSING ACE.

HE THREW A 73 YARD PASS TO E.LDREDGE LAST YEAR TO SET A NEW U-M RECORD FOR DISTANCE. Hal HOLDS THE RECORD AT U-M FOR YARDS GAINED BY PASSES. HE COMPLETED 32 LAST YEAR FOR 638 YARDS. SNIPES IN THIS YEAR'S ROLLINS GAME, HE PASSED FOR THE GAME'S ONLY T-D.

Majority of Hialeah Horses Are Floridian

Florida will be strongly represented in Florida Thoroughbred racing this winter with a lineup of stables headed by Circle M. and Sunshine, it is found by a check of Hialeah stall assignments. Nineteen Florida owners have been allotted space for their racers at Hialeah, the survey shows, and the Thoroughbreds to be raced here in cracker colors include such stake stars as Relic and Cosmic Missile from the Circle M. barn, Sunshine Stable's Lets Dance and Bunfuz, Fred W. Hooper's Education, Jake Sher's Frere Qaecgues and Mrs. Moody Jolley's Picnic Lunch. Fred C. Peters, A. F. Plock, Leo Gerngross of Miami Beach, C. A. O'Neill, Dave Nocsek, Leo Edwards, John Partridge and W. L. Huntley of Miami will all campaign horses at Hialeah on an extensive scale. Carl Rose of Ocala, Dr. C. E. Woolard of Miami Beach, James M. Bright of Hialeah, and Hunter Lyon, Dr. E. L. Whitten, Harry W. Fincher, R. R. Preoni, Edith Miller, B. W. Miller and A. W. Wentzel also will be represented in the Hialeah barns. Cosmic Missile and Lets Dance are among the 25 leading money-winning horses of the nation for 1947. Lets Dance, owned by Dan Chappell and Mose Rauzin of Miami, scored his biggest victory, ironically enough, in California in the $50,000 added San Pasquel. His $83,750 earnings for the year are the results of two firsts, five seconds and five thirds. Cosmic Missile, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Edward S. Moore of Fisher's Island, Miami Beach, has become known in racing as "Hard-Luck Annie" because of the photo decisions she has lost. Her 1947 record shows seven seconds, six of them in important stakes. Her victories include the Jasmine, Ashland and Gazelle. Relic, Cosmic Missile's stable-mate, was an impressive winner in the Saratoga Hopeful and is recognized as one of the outstanding prospects for the 1948 Triple Crown events. His record shows three firsts and two seconds in five starts. Sunshine Stable's veteran Buzfuz is co-holder of the world's seven-furlong record. He buzzed the distance in 1:21 4-5 in June at the Hollywood, Calif. Track to equal the new time hung up two weeks before by Honeymoon. Buzfuz has won three major stakes during the year; the Seminole, Gulfstream Inaugural and Toboggan.

Amateur Fight Tourney Listed For Coliseum

The Douglas Road Coliseum's first ring show will probably be the Southeastern Florida Amateur Boxing championship tournament to be held there Dec. 10, 11, and 12, it was learned this morning. Entries will be composed of boxers from all the Greater Miami Youth Centers, and there will be eight weight divisions, both novice and open classes. Coral Gables War Memorial Youth Center will enter 10 boys in the tournament, Ed Beckman, director, announced this morning. Five candidates for the Gables representation started work-outs at the Youth Center last night: Don Allen, heavyweight; Dave Reineke, 175-pounds; Bob McDonald, 140; Ward O'Connell, 118; and Bill Parker, 112. All fought for the Center in boxing shows staged this spring in competition with other recreation centers of the vicinity.

Pop Warner Honored by Touchdown Club

NEW YORK, Nov. 7. (UP)-Although he now is living in retirement in Palo Alto, Cal., Glenn S. (Pop) Warner today received added recognition as one of the greatest coaches in football history when he was named recipient of the Touchdown Club award of 1947. The presentation, honoring Warner for his "Outstanding contributions to the game", will be made here Nov. 20.. Warner, who retired from the game in 1940, served at Georgia, Cornell, Carlisle, Pittsburgh, Stanford, Temple and San Jose State during a coaching career that spanned 45 years.

YAY, TEAM!

Making up a foursome to attend the Miami High-Knoxville High game tonight in the Orange Bowl stadium are Mr. and Mrs. Andy Houston and Mr. and Mrs. R. Fulton Webb. Press of business prevented veteran University football fan Andy from accompanying the team to Cincinnati, O., for the gridiron tilt with the University of Cincinnati tomorrow afternoon in the Ohio city. He was on hand with pennants flying for the only other out of town game scheduled for the home team, the Villanova tilt in October.

Are Wrestlers Athletes?

Which brings to mind an opinion voiced at the Florida Sports Writers Association confab at the University of Miami a month or so back. One of the scribes seriously proposed that wrestling stories be taken off the sports pages and put in the amusement section of all papers.

Renewal of Grand Custom

The University band, many of the administration, and Hurricane boosters departed on a special train with the football team for the Cincinnati game Saturday. When the train pulled out Thursday afternoon, it will mark the first time since before the war that an organized rooting section has traveled with the Hurricanes to an intersectional football game.

Musketeers Defy Gesu

(Continued from Page Ten) very stingy about allowing opponent's backs to come through, so Homko is satisfied that Bush and the other Crusader ball carriers can be successfully hobbled. "It's our offense that needs a shot in the arm," Homko expressed the problem Wednesday. "We're in pretty good shape for this game except for Harry Herndon, who has a bruised knee. He'll start but may not be able to go the distance this time out. Otherwise, I feel, a lot depends on whether the boys are up for the game the way they were against St. Anns last week." The Musketeers strenghtened their claim to the league championship with a 20-7 victory on the St. Theresa field Saturday. After a listless first half, they scored only to drop behind and then come roaring back with twin touchdowns toward the end of the game. Homko said he will start Renee Croteau and Gene Doll at ends; Herndon and Jack Solly at tackles, Carl Harvath and Bill Cross at guards; and George Murray at center. Lugging the ball for all they're worth in an attempt to upset the Crusaders, will be Bert Stahl at quarterback, Bob Edwards at left half, Tom Fitz-Gibbon at wingback, Walt Gallagher at fullback. Game time is 8:30 p. m.

Two Bridge Tournaments at Mayfair Club

The monthly Master Point Open Contract bridge of the Mayfair Club will be held Saturday, Nov. 8 at the club, followed by a special Master Point game at 9 p. m. Sunday evening. Points will be entry fees to the Florida State championships to be held at the Sheraton-Plaza Hotel, Daytona Beach, from Nov. 19-22. The Florida State Championships will include Mixed Pairs, Men's Pairs, Women's Pairs, Individual, Team of Four, and Open Pairs. Reservations can be made for rooms by letter to the hotel. Winners of the Team of Four last year were Mrs. Faye Lasarow of Miami, Mr. and Mrs. Milton Vernoff of Miami Beach, Mrs. F. J. Niver of Daytona Beach and Eddie Cohen, of Miami. Winners of the Open Pairs were Mrs. F. J. Nivers of Daytona Beach and Lawrence Held of Coral Gables. Four weekly tournaments are currently being held for contract bridge enthusiasts of South Florida. Play on Monday is at the Tuttle Hotel; Tuesday at the Mayfair Club, Miami Beach; Wednesday at the Fort Lauderdale Legion Hall; and Saturday again at the Mayfair Club. All games start at 8 p. m. Duplicate results of this week's play: Saturday (Mayfair) 1. Borak-Glick, 2. Root-Staples; Monday (Tuttle) 1. Morris-Rice, 2. Held - Nixon; Tuesday (Mayfair) 1. Hodges-Cohen, 2. Butter - Hoffman; Wednesday (Ft. Lauderdale) 1. Ridgway - Staples; 2. Albert-Haynes.

Players Queue Up To Play on Salvadore Courts

Salvadore Park tennis grounds registered the heaviest play of the entire year this week as Gables racquet wielders took advantage of the four reconditioned clay courts. Leo Fullwood, park pro, reported that players "queued up" for their turn on the new layout several afternoons and that play was steady throughout the day. A number of University of Miami players used the courts to limber up for the University tournament set for Thursday, and Ponce de Leon High School and St. Theresa High students were daily regulars on both clay and asphalt courts, Fullwood said. Among local players volleying at the layout since Monday were John Block, Robert Linton, Richard Johns, Doug Sandberg, Dick Murphy, Bill Merriman, Joe Harmuth, Lloyd Bates, Paul Setze, George Jochem, Mr. and Mrs. William Jaeger, Elaine Fels, Don Krammer, Mr. and Mrs. John Ryan, Grace Grimes, Ann Fitz-Gibbon, Arthur Schwartz, Tom O'Benauer, Mrs. Helen Williams. Also Henry Lyden, James Sandberg and Dick McKee. Players may reserve courts week-ends and during the late afternoon rush period by telephoning the clubhouse 4-9522.
