Generals Defeat Ponce; COMMODORES AT PEAK Vanderbilt Two-Touchdown Choice Over Weakened Hurricanes

Coach Henry "Red" Sanders and 42 members of the Vanderbilt Commodores football squad—the largest ever to make an intersectional trip flew into Miami early Thursday evening for their first game with the University of Miami Hurricanes slated for 8:15 tonight at the Orange Bowl. The Commodores will be in their best physical shape since the start of the season and are rated a two-touchdown favorite over the crippled Hurricanes. Co-captains John North and Tex Robertson, end and guard, and tackle Dutch Cantrell, each an outstanding candidate for all-Southern Conference honors, are completely recovered from minor injuries which have hampered them in the past few weeks, trainer Charley Harper said this morning. Vandy Puts Best Foot Forward Sanders is expected to put his most powerful starting combination against the Hurricanes. His backfield will be Jim Vaughn at quarterback, Bob Berry and Joe Hicks sharing the halfback slots, and Bernie Rohling at fullback. Davidson, Rich Will See Action Two Miami Beach backs, who have been the mainspring of the recently launched Vanderbilt offensive machine, will figure prominently in the game. Freshman tailback Dean Davidson, who has scored six times in the last three games, and sophomore wingback Herb Rich, will add some local color to the gold and black jersied Commodores. Krull May Start Coach Jack Harding will field an almost brand new backfield combination, selected from able-bodied squad members in "what have we got to lose" scrimmages this week. With Bob Bowman and Ed Injaychock sitting out most of the game with leg injuries, "Little Joe" Krull will take over the wingback slot. The same leg injuries force Harding to start John Ferguson, freshman from Turtle Creek, Pa., at fullback, Clive Schrader, former Stingaree, in place of ailing "Whitey" Campbell at tailback, and probably Art Davies at quarterback. Only Bill Frantz, last year's co-captain, will be unable to play for the Hurricanes in the line, according to trainer Dave Wike. Ed Moyer and Tony Yovicsin will start at end; Art Savy and Ernie Settembre take up the tackles; and Mario DeMarco and George Carifee will be in at guards. Hal Shuler will captain the team from the pivot position.

Cav's Complete 16 Passes But Bow 33-13

Miami Jackson's Generals proved that a good strong running team is 20 points better than a good, smart passing team by breaking a long-standing hex and defeating the Ponce de Leon Cavaliers 33-13 at the Orange Bowl last night. The Cavaliers threw a first-half scare into the mighty Stonewallers by pitching the ball all over the lot—completing 11 of 17 attempts for 163 yards—to register a 13-13 tie at the intermission. But after that, the Cavs forgot about their patent rights to the passing game and the Generals pushed over the big lead on brilliant running by Carithers, Rothman, Leggett & Co. The Cavs marched 70 yards in 11 plays after the kickoff to a score climaxed by Tom Pennekamp's diver over from the two. The tally was set up by Malcom Johnson's sensational catch of a Bill Ward pass good for 22 yards. A second tally, which beat the clock to the intermission by 15 seconds, was on a break when, after driving to the Generals' eight, the losers exchanged fumbles with the Cavs winding up the melee on Jack Stahl's plunge for the score. In the second half the Cavaliers showed plenty of fight and hustle, but even the great line play of Co-Captains Tom Fryer and Tom Gibson couldn't cope with the dazzling breakaway runners wearing the green uniforms. Three other long scoring runs by the Generals were "saved" by Billy Vebor with breathtaking tackles from behind. Score by periods: Jackson | 7 | 6 | 6 | 14—33 Ponce | 6 | 7 | 0 | 0—13

YARDSTICK

C. G. Panthers Win, 20-7, Over Heavier Miami B. C.

The Coral Gables Panthers, 95-pound class football team drubbed the Miami Boys Club 110-pounders in a non-conference clash at the Pinewood Boys Club this week with the entire Panther line playing a brilliant game, according to Northside Boys Club director Ralph Deck. Captain Richard Jennings at right tackle and Lee Brouder at right end were outstanding, as was George Shave, who scored twice for the Panthers. The Gables team is coached by Bob Sampson, University of Miami student.

SCORE CARD

Youth Center Won't Produce Champs, But— By DON CUDDY Almost every hamlet in the country has some sort of recreation program for their school kids, but I've never seen one as good as the Coral Gables War Memorial Youth Center for giving the youngsters wholesome fun and useful activities. Center Probably Won't Produce Champs Now, the star athletes don't come from environment like the Youth Center very often. Perhaps some tennis and golfers, yes; but I'm talking in terms of the Big Four of Sports: Football, basketball, baseball and boxing. The lads who get to the top of the heap in those professions usually learned their skills on the streets and in back lots. Most of the champions are gentlemen, but too many of the members of their "gangs" who were never quite good enough to make the grade turned out, in many cases, to be social menaces because of the hoodlum influence of "gangs." (Rocky Grazziano and associates, the pride of New York's lower East side, come to mind very readily). As I see it, recreation means instruction impressionable youths in good sportsmanship and at the same time giving him something useful to do. The draft rejections prove that, on the whole, too many of our youngsters grew up "out of shape"—mentally as well as physically. We solve a lot of problems before they begin with a project like the Youth Center. If trends indicate that champions come only from the back alleys, then we better forget about developing the great individuals by the rugged trail and contribute to the greater general good a wholesome recreation can give us. Champions, probably not; but certainly better citizens. The War Memorial Youth Center Association drive for $20,000 operating expenses starts Saturday. Shoot the Works There's a massacre brewing with the Vanderbilt-Hurricanes meeting at the Orange Bowl tonight, to hear the Miami coaches tell it when they speak of the Commodores. It isn't just another blues song and dance (with an appreciative not to Jack Harding who tries his best not to alibi) because the Hurricanes are really in bad shape. This week, during practice scrimmage, the squad looked like a small-school outfit who has been victimized by a big-time team who knocked the tar out of 'em. No less than five key backs are limping and campaign-weary. But if you think Harding will hold back his men for the Florida rivalry next week, you're wrong. Harding wants to win—a seemingly impossible feat unless he shoots the works with everything in the book. Wanted: One Fullback One explanation for the Hurricanes—if that's what you want—is the fullback problem, the key to the 1947 story to date. Two good ones—Bill Krasnai and Hartwell Dunn, who were counted on for heavy duty—are not with the squad for sundry reasons, and Harry Ghaul hasn't hit but hasn't been able to reach a peak yet. A reasonable facsimile of Bob McDougal would have got those vital first-down yards to keep the 'Canes percolating against South Carolina and would have meant at least one T. D. against Cincinnati. Leo Hauck and John Ferguson have shown well in scrimmage. It's taken them quite a while to get their duties down, but now I hear they're ready to roll. The same might be said for "Little Joe" Krull, who has had a bad time since the Holy Cross game 'way back . . . and Carl Mosso. If the 'Canes get hot tonight . . . it will be with the running of Hauck, Ferguson, Krull and Mosso . . . with Clive Schrader going overland to jazz things up. Koesy Going to Vanderbilt? Little could please Vanderbilt's coach Henry "Red" Sanders more than the prospects of having Miami High's superb back John Koesey on the Commodore squad. A horde of attractive offers from other colleges makes John the most-sought-after back in the nation . . . but he has definitely chosen Vandy because it's got one of the best medical schools in the South, and that's what John wants. Reportedly an agreement has been reached whereby football will not interfere with studies, which is a concession very few coaches would make. Koesy can help any team and a school like Vanderbilt will help him. Tonight he will see his future alma mater in action . . . and tomorrow evening they get their chance to see him perform against Male High of Louisville.

Seeks Second Letter

Jack Harris, 22-year-old Coral Gables product, is after his second letter as top diver with Coach Tom Lamar's University of Miami swim team. A sophomore mechanical engineering student, Harris daily applies classroom torques and streamlining to his specialty, the the half gainer, at the Biltmore pool where the Hurricanes work out. This year he's working on the highest degree of difficulty dive in the book—the double-twisting one and a half—for intercollegiate competition. A Ponce de Leon High school alumnus, before he enlisted in the Marines, Jack now resides with his mother Janet A. Harris, at 1351⁄2 Avenue Maderia. She will soon own the Dianne Shop on Miracle Mile.

Two No-Hitters in One Season

No-hit baseball games are a rarity in collegiate competition, but a pair of University of Miami hurlers turned the trick last season. Eddie Sherman, from Wilkes-Barre, Pa., pitched a no-hit-no-run seven inning game against Stetson College on May 10 a month after Denny Hambleton went the full distance against the Florida Southern college Dreadnoughts. Hambleton, however, had his perfect game spoiled by a run on an eighth inning error.
