SCORE CARD There't Turkey in the Glades —And Gableites Too

—By DON CUDDY High waters after the storms last month kept the golf clubs in the closet, but the floods and poor game possibilities in the glades won't spoil the fun of Gables hunters too much. There won't be much doing in the way of quail and deer, of course, but many of the hunters will be making a double play in going after wild turkey to grace the festive board next Thursday. Several inland counties have restrictions even on those birds, but few of the Gableites we queried will be handicapped by that. Attorney Paul H. Brinson left Wednesday for Everglades hunting grounds at La Belle near Lake Okeechobee, with young Paul Jr. They'll settle for what quail there is if no gobblers—or even a couple of rabbits. Dr. T. L. FitzGibbon (the dentist and marksman who's been hanging up trap shooting records all over the area for years) left Tuesday for Immokalee, also for turkey. In his party (which is due to return Saturday night) is J. V. Hardeman, the insurance man, and Savoy Chinn, ditto. Dr. Arthur Welland, who leases several thousand acres of glades pasturage on which he raises beef cattle about 70 miles out the Tamiami Trail, plans to leave Saturday morning for his ranch. With him will be Ben Mevers, the contractor, and Charlie Tutan, of the Chamber of Commerce. The group isn't very optimistic about the shooting, but are taking this chance to work several young hunting dogs while trying their luck. The Welland's outfit is similar to those South Florida hunting haunts that made an excellent movie which appeared around Miami a couple of months ago. To get there, you take to the bushes and have to drive seven miles through trackless sawgrass and around cypress hammocks to arrive. Hunting is done mostly via "marsh buggies"—stripped cars, jeeps and trucks—rigged with over-sized rear wheels for negotiating the sloughs. Lo, the Noble Hunter! Nature is kind to sportsmen . . . the hunting fever comes just when October football frenzy begins to lag. Even when the prospects aren't so good (which is the case here and in other parts of the country, I hear, because of late summers) you'll see truck drivers and doctors, cosmopolitans and rural folks, oiling up the guns and taking a new interest in the weather and remote parts where the game is plentiful. I guess it's the same in every town—the hot stove gatherings—where men spend hours talking in familiar language about huntin' n' fishing with a reverence that few other topics are discussed. The terms are basic and it's easy to follow a two-hour account of a deer-tracking that more often than not winds up with a lost cause. There's a kind of respect for the quarry that can never be found, even in the most sportsmanlike circles, when man pits himself against his image.

Lewis-Carnera Bout Dec. 2 At Coliseum Will Inaugurate Heavily Booked Arena Schedule

Pat Malone, Miami wrestling promoter, has definitely agreed to inaugurate the Coliseum as an all-sports arena with the staging of the Prima Carnera vs. Strangler Lewis exhibition there on Dec. 2, H. W. Peeples, Coliseum manager, announced this morning. The decision came as a result of the Coral Gables city commission's liberal offer to allow the event to "break the ice" for professional promoting by not taxing the attractions until the Sports Commission can set up an operating budget, Peeples said. Tyson Now 'More Receptive' In addition, George W. Tyson, the ice review promoter, is now in a more receptive mood to the original plan of booking the show at the Coliseum the last two weeks of January, Peeples stated. Following the wrestling exhibition opening into the arena will be the South Florida Amateur Boxing Tournament Dec. 9-11 and the Golden Gloves Dec. 16-19. Sandwiched between those bookings will be the first University of Miami basketball game of the season, with Tampa University's Spartans on Dec. 12. Peeples estimated that nearly 6,500 seats will be available for the Carnera-Lewis show. Working crews have been busy for the last three weeks reconverting the building after its war-time use by the Embry-Riddle Aviation School. Major electrical installations and the first flooring work was expected to be completed before the end of next week. Commission Meeting Postponed The newly-appointed Sports Commission was scheduled to hold its first meeting this afternoon, but City Manager William T. McIlwain this morning advanced the conference to Friday afternoon.

Guests Mark Honors At Riviera C. C. Ladies' Day Events

The weekly Ladies' Day at the Riviera Country Club turned into a guest day—and the guests did all right on the Blue Road fairways. Mrs. G. F. Yessler and Mrs. Milton Chapman tied for honors with a low gross of 95 in their class, but the real golfer-of-the-day was member Mrs. F. W. Steward who netted a neat 70 for the course after deducting her 40-stroke handicap from the gross score. In the special events division, Mrs. William Redelsheimer turned the ball 27 feet to the pin, and Mrs. R. B. Raymond had the best putting eye, falling closest to the pin on the tough No. 9 hole. In touring the course, Mrs. Stephen Gibbs had a total of ten 5-stroke holes to her credit.

AFTER NINE YEARS— Bob Elliott, Braves Third Sacker, Chosen 'Most Valuable' in National

NEW YORK, Nov. 20. (UP)—Bob Elliott, rising to the peak brilliance of a long career in his first season with Boston Braves today was named the most valuable player in the National League, the first third baseman in the history of the Majors ever to be selected for such an honor. Elliott, whose fellow players affectionately nicknamed him "the team" because of his all-around proficiency, did not lead the league in any department of hitting or fielding, but his .317 batting average was third highest among National League regulars and the best he ever compiled for himself in a nine-year career in the Majors. The six - foot, 185 - pounder from Plaster City, Cal., "plastered" opposing pitchers for 176 hits including 35 doubles, 22 homers and five triples, and had the highly respectible total of 112 runs batted in. Coming to the Braves after eight years with the Pirates, in which he had a life-time Major League average of only .292, he immediately clicked with Boston pilot, Billy Southworth, and broke up ball game after ball game with timely slugging. Elliott got nine first places votes out of 24 in balloting by a special committee of baseball writers, three from each National League city. On the basis of 14 points for a first place vote, nine for second, eight for third and so on down to one point for 10th, Elliott received 205 points, giving him a comfortable margin over Pitcher Ewell Blackwell of Cincinnati, who was second with 175 points. First Baseman Johnny Mize of New York was third with 144 points, Catcher Bruce Edwards of Brooklyn fourth with 140 and Rookie Jackie Robinson of Brooklyn, star Negro first baseman, fifth with 106.

BISCAYNE ENTRIES

Volleyball Boasts 17 Women's Teams At University

Seventeen teams comprise the girls' intramural volleyball league playing regularly at the University of Miami North campus courts. Zeta Tau Alpha, Chi Omega, last year's sorority champions, and Kappa Kappa Gamma own three wins each against no defeats and are tied for first place in the league. Sigma Kappa is also undefeated with two victories to date. The market on outstanding individual players seems to be cornered by ZTA with Joan Beck, Betty Hewitt and Betty Delmonico. Virginia McCall is the prize player for KKG. Volleyball is the major fall sport for women at the University. Four games are played daily and all teams are under the supervision of Mrs. Catherine Semple, girls' intramural director on the main campus, a artp of Dr. Thurston Adams' Office of Student Activities.
