Randolph Bows, 4-2, In Final Round

Lyle Roberts, Gables contractor, beat A. C. Randolph Jr. for the championship of the Men's Golf Association of the Country Club of Coral Gables at the Granada Course Sunday afternoon, 4-2. Roberts, who gained the final round after easing past Harry Wheeler, 4-3, a week ago, went 2-up on the ninth hole and was never headed. On the fourteenth, Roberts boosted his lead to 4-up and the pair came home with Roberts owning a net 68 and Randolph a 70. Roberts' handicap was 24 and Randolph, of the Dade Aviation School at Tamaimi and Richmond Airport, was carrying a 20.

Lyle Roberts is the new champion of the Men's Golf Association of the Country Club of Coral Gables after a 4-2 triumph over A. C. Randolph in the final round at the Granada yesterday.

SCORE CARD By DON CUDDY

Coach Jack Harding returned from the Southeastern Conference meeting at Biloxi, Mississippi, yesterday with the news that all that remains to assuring that Vanderbilt's Commodores will play here the first week of December to close out the Hurricane's season, is the signing of the contract. Several other SEC teams wanted to come Orange Bowl way (notably Tulane and Mississippi State) but conflicting dates made scheduling those teams impossible. Harding said that one more tough team on the schedule gave him enough to worry about . . . and the chances are that such an opponent will come from the Southwestern Conference. 'Canes Couldn't Pry the Lid Off the Bucket Probably in no other sport does form reverse itself as suddenly as in basketball. That's the only logical explanation for the Hurricane's split with Tampa at the Coliseum over the week-end. It almost appeared as though the 'Canes had the shakes Friday night when they trailed the Spartans 19-16 at the half. After the intermission, the Morrismen couldn't pry the lid off the bucket for love or money for something like seven and a half minutes of play. Meanwhile the Tampans were merrily fast-breaking, cripping, and popping the ball in from all corners to run up a commanding lead Saturday Bewildering for Tampa A few less fans came back for Saturday's game, but they saw a rejuvenated line-up take the visitors in with much more polish than they figured to the first time around. Mostly the credit goes to Don Cobb, a newcomer to the line-up, and veteran Abe Friedman, a tiger on defense as well as a sweet shot-maker. Add that the most promising prospect on the squad, next to Cobb, is Bob Carroll, whose ball-hawking resembles Bob Campbell's play of last season. Just what's happened to the sensational "Whitey" in there isn't too hard to figure out. None of the football players who were in the starting line-up Friday night showed very much, and, although there was considerable improvement in Captain Tony Yovicsin in the second game . . . it will take Campbell longer to loosen up and play the style of ball that made him the outstanding player in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association tournament last spring. Bigger and Better Shows, Says Duffy Bill Duffy, who staged the water shows at the Biltmore on Sunday afternoons last winter, is back planning a bigger and better series of shows to start around the first part of January and last through Easter. Again this year he will stage the shows for the benefit of Coral Gables Post 98 of the American Legion, with the income to go into the building fund. At least two more guest-artists will be added to the shows, Bill claims—one of them being Ethelda Bleibtry, the first United States Olympic title-holder for breast and back-stroke. She is currently instructing at the Park Central Hotel pool in New York City. Another girl who has been getting a lot of attention in swimming circles and who will appear here this winter, is Margaret Dixon, the Canadian low-board champ from Toronto. Meloche and Young Still Figure in Races Ty Meloche and Sterling Young, the lads who swapped racing silks for a jewelry shop down on the Tamiami Trail, are still very much in the racing picture. Latest "gimmick" of theirs is a contest among the full-fledged riders up at Gulfstream Park, with a watch as the prize to the leading jock at the end of the meet. Hedly Woodhouse overtook Jimmy Stout this week. On the point basis of three for win, second and third, Woodhouse has now compiled 38 points with Stout second at 34. Apprentice Harold Featherston, who, incidentally, topped all Gulfstream jocks in salary with a sum in excess of $800 last week, is 'way up there with 79 points. Nine-Match Jai Alai Starts at Fronton Tonight Launching a new policy of nine matches rather than the old program of eight, jai alai joins the popular parade of pari-mutuel sports in the Greater Miami area tonight at the Biscayne fronton. The entire lineup of 32 hand-picked cesta stars will take part in the grand match shortly before the 8 o'clock post. With a 100-night meet set for this season, Richard Berenson, president and general manager of the Fronton, anticipates the greatest cesta-pelota campaign in the history of the sport in the United States.

Roseen Is Picked For Pro Shop

Curtis Bryan, of the Piqua Country Club, Piqua, Ohio, was chosen this morning as new assistant teaching-professional at the Granada Golf Course by Wilber "Umps" Clark, who will supervise both of the municipally-operated fairways. Besides Bryan, another name was added to the roster of personnel for the Biltmore Course by Clark. The second is Howard Roseen of the Tam O'Shanter Country Club in Chicago, who will be in charge of the Biltmore shop. Earlier, Clark announced that Jim Foulis, of the LaGrange Country Club, LaGrange, Illinois, will be teaching-pro for the Biltmore course. Foulis, Bryan and Roseen are expected to arrive in Coral Gables tomorrow in order to be on hand for the official opening of the second municipal course Wednesday. Biltmore Opening Informal The 876-acre Biltmore has been returned to peak condition by City Parks crews under the supervision of Clark. Informal ceremonies will mark the re-opening of the historic course, with Mayor W. Keith Phillips driving the first ball at noon, although the course will be ready for play early in the morning and several early-birds are expected to make a sneak preview tour. Clark will be in charge of both of the courses on a permanent basis, City Manager William T. McIlwain declared this morning. When the city first acquired the course from the Veterans' Administration on a lease three weeks ago, Clark was placed in temporary charge to supervise the reconditioning of the run-down fairways and greens.

Carr Sinks Hole-In-One On Riviera 17th

William Carr was the third Riviera Country Club golfer to find the seventeenth hole at the Blue Road fairways to his liking when he dropped a hole-in-one in the par three cup Sunday afternoon. It was Carr's first ace in 15 years of golfing and the second time in a month that the 180-yard drive had been accomplished in one fell swoop, according to Leonard Ott, Riviera pro. Virgil Wright turned the trick about four weeks back and Frank Evans made the first ace a year ago. It is the fifth such one-stroke on the course this year. Carr used a number four wood from the mound. In his party were Sam McCormick, Claude Jones and Joe Swanson.

SPORTS PARADE By Oscar Fraley

UP Sports Writer NEW YORK, Dec. 15. (UP)—Jack Frost, a ringer who wasn't on the program, was acclaimed today as the defensive star of the few bales of hay cost the New York Yankees in a 14-3 setback at the hands of the Cleveland Browns. Jack set up most of the tackles as he slicked the field until the backs looked like Hawaiians on ice skates. The Browns had an aerial attack and the Yankees didn't—so the Browns won. Massive Marion Motley, 230-pound fullback from Nevada, was the Brcwns' standout and for the Yanks it was Buddy (Black Lightning) Young. They must have spent a week working out with the Ice Follies because they were the only two able to go for any distance on the slippery turf. "We thought about covering the field this week with hay to keep it from freezing," moaned Coach Ray Flaherty of the Yanks. "We didn't and so our ground attack bogged down. I can't over-emphasize how much that slick footing cost us." "I still think we can beat them." Added Jim Barber, Yankee assistant coach, as the team dressed dispiritedly after the game. So did the team, but now it was too late. There was little conversation in the hot and steamy dressing room. A few dawdled but most of the players hurried into their clothes. In the trainer's room, Ed- (Please turn to page 8)
