SCORE CARD

_By DON CUDDY_ When Maj. W. H. Peebles started to promote the Coliseum as a sports arena he appeared before the Zoning Board and later the city commission and said that the University and amateur groups would not have to carry as much of the load for rentals as the fight promoters and other professional activities. But now it appears that he's reversed his field and there's some chafing about it at the University and with members of the Athletic Commission. In order to book intercollegiate boxing and basketball games in the Douglas Road palace, the school pays a minimum of $300 and 20 percent of the gate. Billie Regan, hoping for a $5,000 house for the Syracuse-Miami Orange Bowl Festival boxing matches does not like the idea of shelling out a grand of that for the rental when, according to my information, Art Lewis and Chris Dundee pay only ten percent of the gross. IT HURTS THE LITTLE GUY MOST In fact, Leo Boles tells me that he wanted to get two dates for his Riddle College basketball team there but the tariff was just too high, so he'll stick with the Miami Edison gymnasium even when classy squads like Furman's Purple Hurricanes make their appearance here. The pay-off will come when the Athletic Commission gets organized and sets up the much-discussed head tax on professional engagements. There's be little sympathy unless the schools get a better break. THIS HOUSING SHORTAGE Ed Beckman at the Youth Center has his troubles again. This time it's finding a place for the Municipal Basketball League to play its games on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Ed figured it would take the first couple of weeks of play to get things running smoothly and he calculated that part right: the brand of ball played has improved greatly. But now he's minus a court on which to stage the triple-headers—which were bound to 'catch on' as the softball loop did—and the only consolation is the fortnight Christmas recess in which to go house-hunting. The eviction hurts, Mr. Riddle. GHAUL BEST PUNTER, ACCORDING TO EDMUNSON George Edmunson, the Tampa claimant to the 'No. 1 Football Fan title lists the Hurricane's Harry Ghaul as the best punter seen in 25 games this past campaign. He files madly from stadium to stadium over the weekends to catch all the teams he can, and names Harry Gilmer of Alabama as the best all-around back, player and passer in the land, and one other stalwart we'll see come New Years, Guard Bill Healey of Georgia Tech, as the most underrated player he's seen.

SPORTS PARADE Junior Golf Program Seen As Anti-Communistic

By OSCAR FRALEY UP Sports Writer NEW YORK, Dec. 18. (UP)—The Professional Golfers Association today gave a vote of confidence to Freddie Corcoran as it entrusted to the embattled Boston promoter development of a junior golf program designed to help combat communism. Corcoran, who stepped from tournament director to promotion director of the PGA after a series of unpleasant situations which culminated in a fist fight with golfer Dick Metz, was reported today ready to tear up his contract. But the men who made tournament golf a lucrative profession comes back now with a job of even more importance. The task is to develop and direct a junior program, culminating in an international junior tournament at the PGA's own course at Dunedin, Fla. "It is the feeling of the tournament sponsors advisory committee that the answer to communism in this country as well as the world is the development at a tender age of clean competition in sports," President Ed Dudley announced. There are a lot of big names behind Corcoran as he tackles this job. Maynard (Scotty) Fessenden of Chicago is chairman and cochairmen are Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, S. C. Allyn of Dayton, O., and Marvin Leonard of Fort Worth, Tex. The rest of the committee is composed of sponsors of the various tournaments across the nation. They are: Don Bothwell, Tulsa, Okla.; Adolph Bremer, St. Paul, Minn.; Emile Collette, Montreal, Canada; Fred Dowd, St. Louis; Chick Evans and Walter Mullady, Chicago; R. W. Goldwater, Phoenix; Russell Gnau, Detroit; Lloyd Haas, Toledo; Robert Hudson, Portland; Henry Hurst, Philadelphia; John C. Jester, Dallas; John B. Kelly, Philadelphia; Maurice Luxford and Tom McMahon, Los Angeles; T. C. Utterback, Richmond, and Elmer Ward, Boston. Under the junior program, the 31 sections of the PGA will hold (Continued on Page 11)

Cavs 'Up' For First Home Game

Basketball coach Clarence Dreppard of Ponce de Leon High school was pretty glum when only 13 un-tried Cavaliers turned out for first basketball practice over a month ago. But now, with two victories behind his squad, and letterman talent which reported after the football season, he has high hopes for Ponce's first home game with Tech High at the Cavalier gymnasium tomorrow night. Three first-string gridders are in the starting line-up for the Cavaliers, but the pair of 'strictly basketball' players who got the year off to a good start with wins over Redlands and Key West, Bob Peterson and Kimball Steadman, are the lads who are expected to give the ragged varsity class—at least for the next couple of games. All-city center Bill Ward, Tom Gibson and Malcolm Johnson are the football players turned to the hardwood. Ward a good pivot man although not too tall is the point getter. But Dreppard still has his worries: There still isn't much skill he can draw upon beyond the first string. On top of that, every member of the varsity is a senior, and Dreppard is a wise coach who knows there are other cage seasons, come inflation, depression or what have you. The faculty game, which follows a jayvee contest at 7 p.m., is the only home appearance before the holiday recess. The Cavaliers take up their cudgels again on Jan. 2 at Vero Beach.

Ike Macy Bumped From Pro Tournament

Ike Macy, Country Club of Coral Gables tennis pro, lost to Robert Stubbs of Miami in the quarterfinals of the National Professional Clay Courts singles championship at Henderson Park Wednesday afternoon. Stubs., of Miami, capitalized on hard-hitting pace to drop Ike from the running, 8-6, 6-3, 6-1 in an aggressive match all the way through. In other singles matches, Frank Kovacs, third-ranking professional and top seeded in the tournament, got past Q. M. Gornto of Fort Lauderdale 6-3 in the first set, was pressed to take the second, 10-8, but wore down his opponent to clinch the last, 6-1. Harris Everett of Miami Beach delivered a victory over Ed Burke, Miami, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4.

STRICTLY A FAMILY AFFAIR Sugar Bowl Conscious Crimson Tide Thrives on Backs Named Mosley

BLYTHEVILLE, Ark. Dec. 18 (UP)—The Mosleys, with a population of 17,500 and noted for its production of fine cotton, on New Year's Day will claim one of the most unusual titles in the history of American football. On Jan. 1, 1948, the third son of Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester "Pop" Mosley will participate in the Sugar Bowl game at New Orleans, and will become the first family to have a member play in each of the four major bowls. The man who will turn the trick is Norman "Monk" Mosley, University of Alabama halfback. The Crimson Tide will play the University of Texas, and Mosley as understudy to Harry Gilmer is expected to see plenty of action. Mosley subbed for Gilmer when Handsome Harry was stalled by the University of Miami Hurricanes in Miami Nov. 29 and was the only "second stringer" to make the Hur-ricane's all-opponent team with his slashing running. Monk is following in the footsteps of his famous brothers, Herschel and Russell, who also played for the tide. Before entering Alabama, all three brothers played halfback on the Blytheville High School team, and the Mosleys are known in Arkansas as the "football family." It Started with 'Herky' Herschel—"Herky" they called him in his high school days—was the first of the Mosley trio to win gridiron acclaim. Herschel was a member of the 1938 Alabama squad which clashed with California in the Rose Bowl. Brother Russell played with the Tide in the 1942 Cotton Bowl game against Texas A. and M. Then Came Russell The following year both Russell and Monk participated in the Orange Bowl game at Miami, where Alabama rolled over Boston College 19 to 0. This left the Mosleys with only one major bowl to fill, and Alabama took care of that when they accepted a bid to play in the New Orleans classic this season. Pop Mosley is the family phenomenon. He never played a football game in his life, but for the past four years he has been assistant coach of the Blytheville Junior High School team. "I had to miss all the other bowl games," the elder Mosley says, "but I'm going to see that Sugar Bowl game if I can get the tickets." But, should Pop Mosley lose this opportunity to see his football-playing son, he may have still one more chance. The Mosley's fourth son Tommy will leave grade school next year for junior high school where he says he wants to duplicate the achievements of his older brothers. That means he'll have to play halfback at Blytheville, earn Arkansas High School All-state and All-Southern honors, and finally wind up at left halfback position at Alabama. That's the path, and the footsteps are well defined. Blytheville has had eight native sons play in the Rose Bowl and claims to be the only city with a population under 100,000 that can make that statement. All except two of the eight played for Alabama.

GULFSTREAM AVOIDS CONFLICT

Morning racing is to return to Gulfstream Park on January 1, New Year's Day, according to James L. Clifford, director of racing. This early program will avoid conflict with the Orange Bowl football classic in the afternoon, and reflects the complete cooperation between sporting bodies in the Greater Miami area.

Gremlin Leads Juveniles; Adora Tops in Biscayne 9th

The first three races of the six second-round Eliminations in the annual Biscayne $5,000 Juvenile Championship, will be headlined tonight at the Biscayne Kennel Club. The remaining three races of the second-round Eliminations will be run Friday night. Gremlin, five lengths winner in his first-round, should rule the choice in tonight's second race although he must face such speedsters as Wacheeta, My Jane, Birdman, Just Becky and others. Country Gent and Honeymoon Court as winners in their last, claim the edge in the third race. Panama Lady, Never Out and Smiling Jessie probably will claim favoritism in the fourth race elimination. Adora and Flying Gold promise to be the favorites in the night's older dog featured ninth race, also at 5/16 mile. Against them as principal challengers will be Jovial John, Ed's Betty, Heavy Hail and other first-division routers.

Tilts Shelved As Cage Loop Loses Home

Tonight's scheduled games in the Youth Center Municipal Basketball League have been postponed and will be played at the end of the regular season, Feb. 17, director Ed Beckman announced this morning. Riddle 'Dissatisfied' Beckman said that John P. Riddle of the Inter-American College was "dissatisfied with the way the players treated the facilities and withdrew his permission" for the league to use the Colonnade Building court for the Tuesday and Thursday night games. The league has played triple-headers there five times since Dec. 2. The Jaycees and Tiny's, St. Mary's and Carl's and the Elks and Tommy Hands were scheduled to play there tonight. When the loop was organized, a two and one half week "holiday" was agreed upon, lasting after tonight's contests until Jan. 6. "The lapse will give us time to scout for another court," Beckman stated, but there appeared to be little chance one could be obtained in the vicinity of Coral Gables without paying rental charges which were not provided for in the league's entry fees.
