Scat-Backs Shake Loose For Decisive Scores

By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, Nov. 10. (UP)—Lo, the poor ball carrier! There is a real vanishing All-American. Yet in this era of streamlined football where the accent is on the airways, there was indubitable evidence today that a few guys are left who can carry the mail. Some coaches and most spectators had reached the point where they didn't believe there was a gridiron galloper in the country who could stagger 100 yards. But for perhaps the first time since the flying wedge was outlawed, the runners overshadowed the pitchers and catchers in Saturday's footballs. Salaam: To Terry Brennan, who ran back the opening kickoff 95 yards and then carried over the clincher in Notre Dame's 27-7 win over Army. To Fern's Bob Deuber, who went 60 and 34 yards for game-winning touchdown's in a 19-7 conquest of Virginia. To Wisconsin's Earl (Jug) Girard, whose 55 and 63 yard scoring jaunts started the Badgers toward their 46-14 drubbing of Iowa. To sub Hall Cornod of Cornell, for the 90-yard run with an interception which downed Syracuse, 12-6. To hip-swinging Harper Davis for his 60 and 22 yard rambles which beat Auburn for Mississippi State, 14-0. To Billy Bye, the iron sub, who went 60 yards for his second and the winning touchdown as Minnesota edged Pitt, 26-21. To Jimmy Howe of Kentucky, who went 56 yards for the touchdown that beat West Virginia, 15-0. To Lucien Gambino, Baltimore Blockbuster of Maryland, for 36 and 34 yard scoring sprints in a 32-0 victory over Duquesne. And to Bobby Williams, Penn State scatback who scatted for the lone touchdown in disposing of Temple, 7-0. Of course the slingers, the receivers and the booters came in for their share, as usual. Like: Mississippi's Charley Conerly, who ran for two and passed four more beating Tennessee, 43-13. California's Bob Celeri, passing star in a 13-7 conquest of stubborn Washington. Tackle Bill George, who booted the two vital points which gave Wake Forest a 14-13 shove past Boston College. SMU's Gil Johnson, completed 14 to 18 aerials and tossed both touchdowns as the Smoos belted the Texas Aggies, 13-0. The George Brodnax of Georgia Tech, whose jarring tackle shook the ball loose from Navy and who then recovered on the har 23 to set up a winning touchdown which made it 16-14. Dan Dell, whose touchdown sent USC off to a 14-0 conquest of Stanford. Ohio State's Emil Moleda, whose placement after the game ended gave the Buckeyes a 7-6 win over Northwestern. End Danny Garza, scored on a pass and again with a blocked punt in Oregon's 12-6 shading of Washington State. And Otto Schnellbacher who caught two touchdowns in a 13-7 Kansas triumph over Nebraska. Yes sir, it was good seeing those breakaway guys go at it once again!

'Canes Return; Hal Johnson Worst Hurt

The University of Miami football team arrived late aboard the Hurricane Special at the Florida East Coast station last night with several key players in doubtful condition for their clash with Vanderbilt University Commodores here. Hal Johnson, the Hurricane's leading passer, is the most doubtful of the injured players. He received a severe back bruise which forced his early retirement from the Cincinnati game Saturday. The ailment will be X-rayed today and that will determine whether he will be ready for duty this week or finished for the remained of his last season with the University. Leg injuries accounted for four hobbled regulars limping from the train. Bob Bowman, wingback, had to have four stitches taken in his leg from a cleat cut, and alternate Ed Injaychock returned with a badly bruised knee which may keep him out of action also. Harry Ghaul, whose kicking helped Miami out of several holes against the Bearcats, came up with a recurrent twisted knee which limited his use early in the season, and Bob "Whitey" Campbell, sensational sophomore runner, is crippled with a leg bruise, trainer Dave Wikes reported. George Carifco, who captained the Hurricanes in their second journey of the season, had his lower teeth loosened when kicked by Roger Stephens, the Bearcats star runner, and the teeth penetrated George's lower lip, necessitating several stitches. The able-bodied varsity members will hold a light workout at Quarterbacks field this afternoon to loosen up after the long train ride before getting ready for the Commodores, who will fly here Friday complete with rooting section.

U-M vs. Syracuse Boxing Gives Gables Busy Dec. 30

Coral Gables' first active participation in the Orange Bowl Festival and intercollegiate boxing both got an added boost over the week-end with the announcement by University of Miami boxing coach Billy Regan that the Hurricane mittmen will meet the Syracuse University squad at the Coliseum on Dec. 30 as part of the festival. REGAN The addition of the boxing show to the festival for the first time, marks two new events to be staged in Coral Gables on the same day. The other is the second showing Aquafollies, under the direction of Pete Desjardines, which will be held at the Venetian Pool that evening. Desjardins has announced that part of the cast for the huge water carnival, which will feature a 48-girl water ballet, has been selected. Earl Clark, the only man to win all national senior diving crowns in one year, was one of the top attractions listed with Frank Snary, who will spice the show with comedy routines. The Syracuse boxing match brings the total of home showings for the Hurricanes to five. Virginia, Minnesota, Catholic University and Maryland, Louisiana will appear at the Coliseum during February and early March, and Regan is attempting to arrange two more shows here with the University of Florida and Louisiana State. Led by intercollegiate heavyweight champion Art Saey, the octet also meets South Carolina and The Citadel at Columbia and Charleston after the first of the year and the University of Wisconsin, at Madison. Wisconsin's national champion squad was the only ring aggregation to triump over the Hurricanes last season. The Badgers also handed Syracuse their only defeat of the year by the same count 41⁄2-31⁄2.

Rebels Shoot For SEC Crown After Vols Win

ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 10 (UP)—Mississippi's Rebels, paced by Charley Conerly who Gen. Bob Neyland called the "best back I've ever seen," broke a 45-year jinx Saturday and may break an even longer jinx—the winning of the Southeastern Conference championship by an Oxford eleven. It all depended on Alabama whipping Georgia Tech this Saturday in Birmingham and on the Rebels being able to dump their arch-rivals—Mississippi State, on Nov. 29. Indications were that was just how it might turn out. It was what the Monday quarterbacks were talking about, anyway. For Georgia Tech—the only unbeaten SEC team—was facing an almost unbeatable Alabama team. The Tide, after a bad start this year, has four straight wins and a week of rest. That, coupled with the arm of Harry Gilmer and the bruising Tech has taken in her last two starts, should decide. The Engineers came back on a fumble and an across-the-field pass by Red Patton, a Bessemer, Ala., freshman, to win in the last five minutes against Navy Saturday, 16 to 14. Patton—who once signed a grant-in-aid contract with Alabama—and another freshman back, Bob McCoy, were the Tech heroes against Navy. Whether they will be primed for Alabama is uncertain. But the game will highlight the SEC card this week-end. Tech should be a little stronger. Fullback Frank Ziegler and center Lewis Hook, both of whom missed the Navy game because of injuries, will be back in the lineup. Tech will be gunning for its fourth SEC win without defeat. The Mississippi's have five wins and only one defeat. The Rebels, who have never won a SEC title—mainly because they have never before been able to defeat Tennessee—defeated Tennessee Saturday 43 to 13 and will warm up for their season finale two weeks hence by meeting Chattanooga Saturday. Mississippi State meanwhile runs into a tougher foe—LSU, and but for the Tech-'Bama scrap this one would take the spotlight. State, with two SEC wins without loss, is in second place in the standings. In other SEC engagements on this week's card, Georgia, 34 to 6 winner over Florida, plays Auburn, 0 to 14 loser to Mississippi State; Vanderbilt, 68 to 0 winner over Tennessee Tech, takes on Miami; Florida meets Tulane; Kentucky plays Evansville and Tennessee meets the Boston College Eagles.

Final Biscayne Schooling Races Start Tonight

The final four nights of official schooling races will start at 7:30 p. m. tonight at the Biscayne Kennel club where the 1947-1948 Florida racing season opens this Saturday night for a meeting through Jan. 3. The Saturday night opening will see the post time go at 8:00 p. m. and then be followed throughout the meeting by the new post-time of 7:45 p. m. instead of 8:00 p. m. Arrival of top kennels during the last 48 hours completes the roster of entries that number now around 400 in the young and adult dog divisions. Early indications are that the greatest field ever to go to the post in the historic Biscayne Innaugural will be braketed this year over the 5-16 mile distance, a field that will be comprised of Derby and major stakes winners of the last Spring and Fall from Oregon to Massachusetts and other centers. The northside oval has completed its near-miraculous recovery from the mid-September storm with all repairs and new installations.

Gables Grid Squad Seek Consolation This Week

Three Coral Gables football teams, each carrying the burden of defeat in last week's encounters, take up their tasks today of attempting a comeback against major foes who loom on the schedule this time around. Two are desperately seeking the spark that will enable them to salvage a little glory from a disappointing season. Only out on Indian Mound Trail, where the St. Theresa Musketeers start drills this afternoon to meet St. Anthony Saturday is there a complete lack of remorse over losing a ball game. Gesu, monarch of the South Florida Catholic league, did everything right in the pouring rain at St. Theresa field Saturday to overpower the Musketeers, 33-13. But St. Theresa gamely reduced a first half 26-0 handicap on two third quarter scores by Edwards and Tom Fitz-Gibbon, and Coach John Homko's main worry now is keeping his squad "up" for their clash with St. Anthony, the doormat of the parochial loop. Gesu practically wrapped up the conference title with their not-surprising victory. St. Theresa figures to finish the season in second place if they can get by St. Peter and Paul on Nov. 23 and the most serious obstacle, St. Mary's Panthers, to wind up the season. Cavs Face Test First Ponce de Leon's go to the post first on Thursday night, meeting Miami Jackson in the Orange Bowl. Coach John Noppenberg's Cavaliers make their final fling of the season here against the Generals with the hope of repeating on a three-year series of upsets over the Generals. But Jackson, owning a season record of seven impressive wins against one lone loss to Robert E. Lee High school of Jacksonville, will be out for revenge with strength that the Cavs don't seem to have more than the will to stop. After a vain struggle against Tech's Blue Devils last Wednesday, Noppenberg said "I don't know when we're going to win a game." Last season the Cavaliers came up with the short-punt formation to surprise the Generals, 6-0, after the latter had sewed up the Big Ten championship, but the short punt—plus the single-wing, a variation of the T, the spread and several other innovations—have failed to give Ponce a victory in five weeks, and it will be a major upset if they can tie or beat the Generals. To bushwack the Stonewallers 58-0 or 37-0 (the 1944 and '45 verdicts) would astound even Noppenberg. 'Canes In Doghouse On Friday, the University of Miami Hurricanes play host to the Vanderbilt Commodores and it's hard to find anyone who will say the game will be anything except a one-sided party for the visitors. The Hurricane Special returned from its dismal trip to Cincinnati Sunday night, and the squad is slated for a light work-out at Quarterbacks field this afternoon. The local collegiate picture may be brightened a little by the announcement that guards Mario DeMarco and Carl Mossom and backs Al Kasulin and Carl Mosso may be ready for action this week. The quartet did not make the journey to Ohio because of injuries, and it is not known whether they will be in condition to face the Vandy machine. Team spirit, naturally low after several losses, was dealt a new blow this week by the beating of drums in the "Oust Harding" movement, and the Hurricanes will be playing under a new kind of pressure this time out.

THEY'RE STILL MAKING TIME Meloche, Young Swap Racing Silks For Jewelry Business This Week

Split second timing, which spells victory or defeat for the hard riding jockey, will become the keynote for a pair of local jockies who are entering the world of business this week. Ty Meloche and Sterling Young are launching themselves in the jewelry business on Wednesday with quarters located at 1655 Southwest Eighth St. and their split-second timing will take the form of watch surgery. Meloche Announces Retirement Ty will completely forsake his race and boots for the jeweler's glass while his partner will continue his riding while attempting to learn all partner Meloche knows about the watchmaker's trade. And Meloche is no amateur in that field, having completed a full course in the trade at Miami's Vocational High School. The new business partners have been riding together "for years" with the jewelry business idea coming to the fore as Meloche announced intention to retire. Recount Track History "I've had enough of the track," Ty said today. "I've been spilled too many times since I started in 1935. I've been in almost every hospital you can name." Ty lists his most famous mount as "Rounders," who "never lost a race until I rode him." "Rounders" came in the show position to equal the track record in a Suffolk Downs race which Eddie Arcaro won on "Shut Out." "Eddie clipped 3-5ths of a second off the track record, nosing out Valdina Orphan in the place position," Ty related. Right behind Meloche in that memorable race, Young rode "Bless Me." "'Rounders' was one of the four members of the 'Beat Whirlaway Club," Meloche added. The reliring jockey won't turn a deaf ear on track doings, however, since "most of my friends are on the track." A hitch as a precision instrument man for Uncle Sam—while recovering from one of his spills—had served by Meloche at Richmond Naval Air Base during 1944-45.

South Miami Horse Show Set for Sunday

Spectators will see some of the country's top show horses in action Sunday when the South Miami Riding Academy presents its 1947 Horse Show in the ring on Davis Road at 71st Avenue. Mr. and Mrs. John A. Campbell will put their newly acquired pure white walking mare, Merry Belle, through its paces but experts predicted the new-comer will have a difficult time beating the record of the Campbell's championship harness mare, Twilight Charm. Frank Radigan, trainer for the Campbell string, is also banking on blue ribbon performances from Adorable Kalarene, a five-gaited mare and a new three-year-old Campbell stallion. Manager Harry Shay announced that Dr. Arden Thomas will show George Allen, one of the favorite harness and jumpers in the district, with Horace Larkin up. The horse was a blue ribbon winer in the West Palm Beach Saddle and Saddle show last spring. Mrs. Carl Frye expects her Lady Gay, a dappled chestnut, to pace the competition in the five-gaited pleasure class and young Pat Smith is grooming her new walking mare, Blackie Allen, for the novice walking horse event. The young riders will also go in classifications open to them.

Cavs Play Eighteen-game Cage Schedule

An 18-game basketball schedule, with exactly half the contests sized for local showings, has been announced for the Ponce de Leon Cavaliers by Director of Athletics John Gramley. Coach Clarence H. Dreppard, taking the helm for the first season with the Cavaliers, expressed keen disappointment with the turnout for first practice last Monday. Some relief is in sight when football season winds up and alter senior lettermen take to the hardwood, however. A sixth letter-winner, George Lane, is recovering from a broken leg and may be ready to start practice in a few weeks. But an overlap of football and basketball games may cost the Cavaliers their first game, for the cagers inaugurate the season at Redland on Dec. 2, while the gridsters do not finish the campaign until Dec. 6 against West Palm Beach. The schedule: PONCE DE LEON Dec. 2—At Redland. Dec. 12—At Key West. Dec. 16—Gesu. Dec. 18—Tech High. Jan. 6—At Vero Beach. Jan. 8—South Broward. Jan. 9—At Miami Beach. Jan. 13—Jackson. Jan. 16—At South Broward. Jan. 23—At Fort Lauderdale. Jan. 27—At Jackson. Jan. 30—Tech High. Feb. 3—At Redland. Feb. 6—Vero Beach. Feb. 10—Miami Beach. Feb. 13—At Homestead. Feb. 17—Riverside Mil. Academy. Feb. 20—At Key West. Feb. 24—Miami Edison. Feb. 26-27-28—District tournament.

Embry-Riddle Starts Operation

Spectators will see some of the yersday released a 24-game schedule for the Riddle Inter-American College five that will represent the school in its first formal athletic program. Two of the nine local showings, against Miami Naval Air Station on Dec. 2 and Furman University on Dec. 30, are listed to be played at the Coliseum. The remaining seven, with Edison College, Riverside Military Academy, Jacksonville NAS, Palm Beach Junior College, Pensacola Junior College, the Savannah branch of the University of Georgia, and St. Petersburg Junior College, will probably be played either on the school's court in the Colonnade Building or at local high school gymnasiums.
