Peeples Says Commission Tax Will Kill Pro Boxing

'Dundee, Ice Shows Cannot Stand Cut' (Continued From Page One)

event which the commission is authorized to control. The admission tax would also cover the costs of fire and police protection and any other direct or indirect expense incurred by the city in the staging of such events. The action of the Miami Boxing Commission in applying such a tax for its expenses was believed to have influenced the Coral Gables City Commission in following suit. According to Peeples, he has a tentative agreement with Chris Dundee, nationally-known boxing promoter, to stage first-class shows at the Coliseum. He announced the date reserved for the first ring attraction is Dec. 16, with eight other nights set aside approximately two weeks apart through April 27. Promoting Nullified By Tax "This, since the contract is not signed yet, there is a clause in it that nullifies the whole agreement if any state or local tax is imposed on the gate," Peeples said. "The sport blows $700-800 for that; he doesn't figure to do better than break even on the ticket; he promotes here and such a cut would put any promotion in the red before a ticket was sold." "Boxing promoters are used to being pushed around by taxes and other restrictions, but even if they're willing to gamble on such a margin I know that the Ice-Capades and other big shows, whom I've planned to have here will not." Pointing to Peeples, Dundee, in order to draw top fighters here for the shows, intended to pay up to 40 per cent of each gate in talent costs. "On a $15,000 house that leaves $9,000. Out of this he must pay advertising and the many other expenses connected with the promotion, after he gives up ten per cent for rental and another $750 to the Coral Gables Post 98 of the American Legion for their auspices." The tax will also cancel the ice shows, too. Peeples has negotiated an agreement with George D. Tyson, of Fort Lauderdale, to stage his ice attraction at the Coliseum from Jan. 18 through Feb. 2. "The ice show plans to draw not less than $40,000 for the engagement," Peeples asserted, "but a prohibitive $2,000 cut out of the receipts will cause Tyson to forget about the whole deal." May Give Up Project "Frankly," Peeples admitted, "after hearing about this development I'm about ready to sacrifice what I've already put into the Coliseum and forget about the matter, too." When Peeples presented his plan for the reconversion of the Coliseum into an all-sports arena before the Gables Zoning Board last month, he told the group that amateur athletics, particularly intercollegiate basketball and boxing, would be the chief benefactors and that boxing and professional events would carry most of the expense burden.

'Canes Limp In Light Drills For 'Vandy' Status of Several Stellar Players In Doubt Today

The University of Miami's varsity football squad shed pads and held a light work-out at Quarterbacks field Monday afternoon, seeking to limber sore muscles and nurse bruises suffered in their clash with Cincinnati's rampaging Bearcats. Although several regular players were dragging badly in the light running exercises, trainer Dave Wike said that all of the injured players will be ready for duty against Vanderbilt's Commodores in this week's clash at the Orange Bowl. Most doubtful of the battered backfield is Hal Johnston, the dashing back who has been shifted from tailback to the spin-back slot to make room for Bob "Whitey" Campbell, also injured. Tackle Bill J. Snell Taylor and Campbell has been slowed up by a bruised knee, which should both respond to treatment, Wike said. Guard Mario DeMarco will be ready for the Commodores, Wike stated, but his running mate, George Carifeo absorbed a terrific physical beating in a remarkable fight to hold the Hurricane line together at Cincinnati, and may see only limited action. Another Hurricane back who has developed as one of the most consistent ball carriers on the squad, Bob Bowman, is also in doubtful shape. Bowman's leg was put in the heavier caste and he was given Monday off to allow the wound to heal. Wike said that Bowman will be out for some running tomorrow and his response will determine the starter in the wingback slot Friday. Ed Injaychock, although out for practice, is also handicapped by leg injuries. Vanderbilt's Commodores will arrive here by plane early Friday morning, an inquiry to Nashville revealed today. An expected rooting section of 2,000 fans are expected to arrive on a special train here Thursday.

Restrict Free Substitution Rule; Give Game To Players, Says Official

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 11—(UP)—A curb on the free substitution rule in an attempt to "give the game back to the players" will be made at the annual winter meeting of the college football rules committee, Jimmy Phelan, head coach at St. Mary's College, predicted today. Phelan, who will attend the session as a member of the coaches' advisory committee and first vice president of the National Collegiate Coaches Association, said he believed the rules would be "cleared up" without too radical a change. "As originally put in the free substitution rule so that more kids would get to play football," said Phelan, "has become, the coaches took advantage of that by trying to master-mind the game from the bench by sending in a new quarterback on every play. That's what we want to eliminate."

Now Mex Loop Wants Protection

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 11—(UP)—The Mexican baseball league intimated today that its offered truce with the U. S. leagues must be a two-way proposition. Aguilar Reyes, who promised no more raids on American and National league talent when he assumed direction of the Mexican, said that the assurance would be forgotten if U. S. leagues attempt to sign players under contract here. At the same time, Reyes stated that no foreign-born players in the Mexican league will be fired because of the new ruling limiting the number of imports on each team's roster.

Baseball Code Sought by High Schools

CINCINNATI, O., Nov. 11 (UP)—As an outgrowth of the explosive controversy between the Chicago White Sox and baseball commissioner A. B. (Happy) Chandler, high school athletic officials today sought an all-covering code regulating the relations of schoolboy athletes and professionals. The officials, meeting with baseball executives last night following the annual major league draft, planned to eliminate, if they could, the inequalities of various state federation rules. H. V. Porter of Chicago, secretary of the National Federation of High School Athletic Associations, is spokesman for the schools, and he pointed out that in some states a prep player can be declared ineligible merely for practicing with a professional. On the other hand, in other states the rules are lenient to the point extreme. Porter's idea is to get a uniform code, which would regulate the students' connections with professionals, and also the professionals' approach to students concerning post-graduation contracts. It was a dispute over baseball's high school rule that led O'Connor to tangle with Chandler, and eventually pay a $500 fine in order to lift a suspension.

Sullivan Gives 'Bama 'New Look'

By WILLIAM TUCKER United Press Sports Writer ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 11—(UP)—It's a great year for the Shamrock—at Alabama as well as Notre Dame thanks to the Crimson Tide's "piling Irishman," Ignatius Lagarde (Pat) O'Sullivan, who hopes to spend some time in unbeaten Georgia Tech's backfield this week. Alabama had rocked along for a season and a half, an easy touch for a big alert foe on any given Saturday. Then suddenly the Crimson Tide became the hottest team in the Southeastern conference and bowled over Tennessee, Georgia and Kentucky in a row. O'Sullivan started and starred in all three of Alabama's big conference victories, playing entirely on defense. He is listed as a quarterback or center since he subs for those positions but he has yet to snap the ball or call a signal. He now weighs 205 and stands six feet one. Coach Red Drew, who is loath to single out one player for praise among that '47 Sullivan's fine play on defense probably has had as much to do with Alabama's improved showing as any other individual performance. Alabama had a week's rest to prepare for Georgia Tech, is in superb condition and has the brilliant Harry Gilmer at the top of his form. Tech, battered and weary, barely squeaked by both Duke and Navy and has the bad side of the psychological odds. Yet, the game at Birmingham Saturday before 45,000 fans will be rated about even. It's the standout of four conference clashes. The others are Florida-Tulane at New Orleans; Auburn-Georgia at Columbus, Ga.; and Louisiana State-Mississippi State at Baton Rouge. Mississippi, which had a breather against Chattanooga, is in a favorable spot to capture the conference championship provided Alabama takes Tech and the rebels beat their own arch enemy, Mississippi State, on Nov. 29.

LOOKING AT SPORTS By DON CUDDY

Major W. H. Peeples is kind of discouraged by the City Commission's attitude on the Coliseum, and you can't blame him. This isn't intended to start any sympathy crusade, but you've got to hand it to him for being willing to buck several undermining influences to give us a major sports arena at the Coliseum. Everybody wants to get into the act. Before the first light is turned on for the first event at the Coliseum at least four pressure groups have to be satisfied. First of all, the owners of the Coliseum Building have something to say about what kind of shows are put on over at the Douglas Road palestra. Secondly, the yet-to-be-appointed Coral Gables Athletic Commission can put the kibosh on just about anything it wants to. Third, Coral Gables Post 98 of the American Legion has plenty to say about who the attractions are for the fight shows. And, finally, there comes Gus Fan, who makes the turnstiles click merrily or gather cob-webs, depending upon his liking for what the Coliseum has to offer. He's the most sensible of the lot, probably, but in the long run a little wrong-doing by any of the others can alienate the bank-roll and then it's Peeples who gets it in the neck. Downtown fight promoters are screaming about the five percent tax they'll probably have to pay to support the Miami Boxing Commission and now the unpleasantness has moved out into the Gables. Elsewhere on this page are the details of what's going to happen to our lovely sports bubble if the City Commission doesn't compromise a little on the tax. My impression of the whole deal is that if Peeples is forced to cancel the professional shows because of the extravagant levy, the University and other amateurs will have to carry the load of operating the Coliseum if they go ahead with their development programs. Peeples practically let the schools name their prices until this came up, but now he's got his back to the wall. Running Out Of Season Talking about departing seniors and speculating on who will replace them on the Hurricane football roster may be three weeks premature, but as end coach Walt Kickelski expressed it before the Cincinnati game: "We've got to get rolling soon—we're running out of season to attempt a comeback." The Hurricanes aren't licked by their final three opponents—not by a darn sight—but they'll go into the Vanderbilt game nursing bruises and limping. Seldom do you beat a team like the Commodores when you're limping; in fact the chances are pretty good you'll come out of such a tilt less healthy than you were when you went in. Bright Promise With Florida coming down 'rarin for revenge and Alabama invading the week after . . . the picture looks kind of bleak. The only bright spot in the future is the promising lads on the 'B' squad who strutted their stuff Saturday night and can give local fans something to get excited about next year. The crowd and the weather was disappointing for the jayvees showing Saturday night, but the game was not. Freshman players are supposed to be one year away from regular duty . . . but several of the unheralded players who beat a good Georgia squad, 20-7, are not only "comers"—they're varsity material right now. And a lot of credit for their showing goes to coaches Harvey James and Davey Eldredge because their charges were smart and blocked and tackled superbly. There were several runners on the jayvee squad with springs in their legs—and if he can add a little more gloss to his off-tackle slants one Frank Smith of Tuckahoe, N.Y., is going to make you old time Hurricane fans forget about Eddie Dunn. There are others who made good impressions: Jack O'Leary, Mel Reid, Al Carapella, a savage tackler named Nick Balikes (of Miami High) and Ken Frantz, the end who is a brother of "Bulldog," last year's co-captain. Hard To Replace Veterans Ball players like Ed Hauck, Tony Yovicsin, Inky Mazejka, Hal Johnson, Ed Injaychock, Bob Bowman and Ed Meyer can't be replaced in one year and while it's hard to see how the 1948 Hurricanes will undo their mistakes . . . There's little doubt in my mind that they'll win more ball games.

Cavs Wind Up Drills Today For Jackson 'Surprises' Are Promised For Favored Generals

Coach John Noppenberg planned to taper off training for his Ponce de Leon Cavalier football squad this afternoon with light drills on punting defense. The Cavaliers will enter tomorrow night's Orange Bowl game against Miami Jackson a decided underdog on the basis of respective season records, but Noppenberg promised he would have plenty of surprises ready to wage the same giant-killing campaign that has reeled off three upset victories for the Gables crew in as many games. Byrd Brothers Due for Action Just what his tricky red and black team will spring this year Noppenberg declined to reveal, but he was willing to talk about the well-rounded Jackson attack that the Cavaliers must stall and the use of the Byrd brothers as a bit of his own strategy. Jim Byrd will see plenty of backfield action every time the Cavaliers gain possession of the ball while twin-brother Joe will replace Bill Ward at defensive right end. Last week Noppenberg pulled something of the same switch when he sent backfield regular Jack Stahl in at left end to gum up Tech's attack and dropped utility lineman Allen Westcott in on the flank when Ponce started to move downfield. The Cavaliers are not rated much of a chance to repeat their dazzling series of wins of the Stonewallers and atone for a disappointing season, however. Every man on the Cavalier squad came out of the loss to Tech last Wednesday in good shape, according to Noppenberg, and he affirmed the conviction oft expressed during the season that the squad is "up" for this, their next to the last home showing of the season.
