 Miami, Fla, Dec. 2o.--(Up)-- Ohio, which provided Georgia with Frankie sinkwich, may see another native son bring football fame to Q southern university New Years day, when Alabama meets Boston College in the orange Bowl game.
 Sophomore Johnny August, c i07. pound halfback from Shadyside, O., spent his freshman year ct Ohio State, but said he didn't get much announcement or financial backing 50 he went to Alabama.
 August hasn't seen c lot of action this season, acting as relief mostly for the Tides great Russ Mosley, but during his limited appearances. he completed i6 out of 26 passes for 247 yards, gained 2i4 yards on b1 running plays and averaged 30.0 yards on 20 punts.
 Three of his aeriais were good for touch6owns and his running game provided the tide with an. other six points.
 speedbail
 The Buckeye flash is probably the fastest sophomore back In the south. and the Boston College beef trust will have to show plenty of speed to nab him.
 Just how much action August will see against Boston College remains to be seen, for Mosley, the triple. threat senior back from Blytheville, Ark, and c brother of Herky Mos. ley, left half on 'Bama's io38 Rose Bowl team, is e hardy player who could 90 the full distance. Coach Prank Thomas said however that August will be in there at one time or another.
