fanciest offensive threat, scamp
cred so yards on a cutback over
left tackle in the second period,
but the conversion failed, and
the All-Stars held a rs lead.
The college boys, who connect
ed on eight of IL passse, struck
again before the half ended on
a 22-yard aerial from Clark to
Tandv. They moved their advan-
tage to 21-6 in the third period
when Richkus hit Sparger for u
yards and a tally.
The pros kept things interest
ing with their final touchdown
in the third period, again by
Jones who skirted right end for
five yards. Jim Elvington's kick
was good and the scoring ended
for the afternoon.
With only one practice as a
unit behind them, the All-Stars
entered the game as two touch
down underdogs, but thew never
gave the pros a chance. Richkus
completed four out Of four pass
es including the two touchdown
tosses to Tandy.
Also outstanding on offense for
the co1legians were North Caro-
lina's Jim Camp and South
Cardinals Bobby Giles. wh s
consistently good punting kept
the pros in a hole.

Michigan Nations
LeaderO nOffense

NEW YORK, Dec. 13 -R-
One more king-sized burst-eith-
er afoot or upstairs-and Notre
Dame, the nations No. l foot
ball team, would have defended
successfully its national total Of
fense crown.
But the Irish didn't get it and
fell 81 yards short, so the 1947
total offense champion is Rose
Bowl bound Michigan, which
finished with 3,714 yards for
412.7 yard per game average in
its nine winning contests.
Notre Dame, also undefeated
in the same number of games,
got 3,677 yards rushing and
passing for a 408.6 average per
game. 1t was the fifth straight
year the Irish landed smong the
nations top Is.
The state of Michigan domi-
mated the top spots in the Ma
toinal Collegiate Athletic bu-
reau's three offense classifica-
tions. Michigan also won the
forward passing crown after
leading from post to wire all
season, and the University of
Detroit Titans captured the
rushing title, which also was
held by Notre Dame last year.
Michigan's Wolverines aver
aged 1879 yards per game in
the air and Detroit ground out
a 1897 yard average on the turf.
Notre Dame finished fourth in
rushing and ninth in forward
passing.
The bureau tabled Michigan
as a most consistent offensive
power, being held to fewer than
400 yards only twice-by Mime
sofa (246) and Illinois (305.) By
contrast, Notre Dame was linn
tied to fewer than 400 yards four
times - by Purdue, Nebraska.
Iowa and Army - but finished
with $50 and 469 yard outbursts
against Tulane and Southern
California.
The one offense element in
which Notre Dame paced til e
nation during the past season
was in first downs, manufac-
turing 1854, or 1872 per game.
Michigan averaged III first
downs (154 in 9 games); Mis-
souri, 1879 (159 in 10Y; Detroit
15.5 (155 in 10) and Georgia 1874
(169 in 11).
No Southern Conference
schools were in the top Is in
either total offense or rushing
offense. In forward passing Of
fense Clemson was fifth, Wake
Forest 10th and North Carolina
18th.
Gle mson attempted 153
passes, completing 81 for a .438
average. The Tigers gained l.
331 yards through the air, an
average of 1479 per game.
Wake Forest tried 207 aeria1s
with Sc successes for an aver
age of AIS. The Deacons gained
1927 yards-an average of 1927

Near Record

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 13 -R-
Texas-born Jimmy Demaret, his
solf matching the smoothness Of
his dress, continued to hold the
lead in the $4,000 Miami golf
tournament today when he fired
t66 for a 12-under-par total OF
1888 for 54 holes.
Demaret, wearing yellow
slacks and a shirt and cap that
matched the green of fairways,
was only one stroke off the So
hole record of 1877 held by Sam
my Snead.
Told he would need a 60 to
beat the course record of 267 to-
morrow, Demaret smiled and
said: "Tll do that"
Closely trailing Demaret was
his partner in two Miami four
ball victories, Ben Hogan of
Hershey, Pa. Hogan, despite a
two-over-par on the first round
today, went on to card seven
brides and a IS for a 202 total.
Matched with Hogan at 202
was Walter Burkemo, the De-
troit professional who had a 81
36-67 card.
Frank Stranahan Of Toledo,
O., led the amateurs with a 81
$50 card for a 206 total.
Tied for the fourth position
with scores of 204 were Glenn
Teal of jacksonville, Claude
Harmon of Palm Beach, Fred
Haas of New Orleans, and Dave
Douglas, Wilmington, Del.
The tournaments first hole in
one was made on the 150-yard
fourth hole by Steve Warga OF
Mania winner of the tourney in

only few inches from the pin
and dropped into the cup.

The contest was the first in
a planned annual series sponsor
ed by the Variety club of Char
lotte for charity.
North Carolina States Charlie
Richkus and Dukes Geor ge
Clark tossed three passes for the
All-star toucndowns. The Univer-
sity of North Carolina furnished
the receivers as John Tandy
gathered in a pair and the Tar
Heels co-captain, George Spar
ger, took the third one.
Sparger added three faultless
conversions.
The collegians struck first on
a 30-yard pass from Richkus to
Tandy in the second quarter.
The pros never caught up.

Tar Heel Among Pro
Gridders Fined $675

HONOLULU, Dec. 13.-R)-
Fifteen Hawaii professional foot
ball players, who bet on them
selves and lost, were fined a total
of $675 today by magistrate who
disclosed that they recovered
half their $500 pot by threaten
ing to beat up the bookies.
The fines, on charges of bet
ting on an athletic contest, were
assessed by District Judge Grif-
fifth Wight, who said he took
the defendants silence as pleas
Of guilty.
Fourteen are members and
one is a former member of the
Hawaiian Warriors, who won the
Pacific Coast professional foot
ball league title last Sunday by
beating the Los Angeles Bull
dogs, rs. They lost their bets
because they gave up to 18-point
odds.
The Los Angeles team was not
involved in any way, authorities
agreed.
"Is there anyone here who
pleads not guilty?" the judge
asked. The players, without
counsel, were silent.
The judge then fined four
players $1oO each. They were

a fight and you knocked me
down twice, kept banging me
so steadily in the features
that my left cheek bone puff
ed up like a Parker House
roll, my left eye was almost
entirely shut, my nose began
to swell into an unfamiliar
shape and finally exploded
like a compressed tomato,
and my lips began to look
like an Ubangi matron's-
if you did this all to me,
and nothing happened to
you, any sort Of witness
would have to testify that
you'd successfully beaten me
up and that the honors Of
the fistic occasion were
yours.
That's how it went with
Walcott and Louis in terms
of physical damage. That
isn't however, how 1t went
on the score cards.
There were Is rounds of
this unexpected exhibition,
and Louis had to force the
fight all the way. He col
lected all his damage while
consistently chasing the
smaller man, who was, as
the boys say, running like
a thief" from the first bell to
the last. Louis piled up all
the points available under
the heading of aggressive
ness. Walcott didn't get one,
because he never stopped
backpedaling enough to try
fnr any.

There are practically as
many angles to the recent
Louis -Walcott affair as an ex-
pert would put into a thesis
of geometry. First of all,
granting that the certainly
humiliated Mr.. Louis didn't
lose his title, you'd have to
say that Walcott won the
fight but lost the boxing
match. That may sound
slightly complicated and I
don't know if such a situation
has ever come up before but
if that decision was correct
that's exactly what happen
ed.
Under the law, of course,
there's no such thing as "a
prize fight" Duels with fists
are boxing" and it's a legal
lied contest scored on points.
Knockdowns, or even knock
outs, are merely incidentals,
except of course, that a
knockout automatically ends
the affair. Officially, how
ever, even a knockdown Is
merely scored as a blow, and
points are awarded for sew
eral things, including Tag
gressiveness."
So far as the fighting part
of it went, Walcott beat
Louis by a very wide mar
gin. That is, if you forget
ring rules and judge it strict
ly man-to-man. If you and 1

BACK.BREAKING

Key West Chamber of Commerce has
received bulletin from the Florida State
Chamber of Commerce that will give
Key Westers a good idea of the back
breaking burden Of federal taxation i'm
posed on Americans. The bulletin quotes
this statement made by Dean James E.
Mccarthy:
II think it is time to tell our people
not just once, but again and again
that in this country at least, government
was not created to organize the daily life
of it's citizens; that man is not govern
ments creature but that government is
mans cfeature--instituted by him for the
preservation of his rights.
I'VE must tell our people of the des-
perate financial dilemma we are in be-
cause of the governments continued
profligacy; and that because of this pro-
fhgacy we must reconcile ourselves to
giving a large share of our income to the
government for years to come.
1--WE must realize that government
does not create income, as you and do
that is---by producing goods and serv-
ices. Government can get it's income only
by taking it from its citizens-from you
and me. And, in this connection, we must
remind our people that the only thing the
so-called liberals have to be liberal with,
is the wages and profits earned by others
What else is there to divide?"
Commenting on Dean McCarthy's blast,
the State Chamber of Commerce produces
figures to show how the taxation affects
Floridians:
"Floridians paid S413,659,317 in fed
eral taxes during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1947, an increase of AS per cent
over the previous fiscal year as compared
with a decrease of A per cent for the ma
ton as a whole, the research and indus
trial division of the Florida State Cham
Der of Commerce stated yesterday in it's
weekly business review
Expressed in terms of Florida prod
ucts, this federal tax bill paid by Floridians
was IL millions of dollars more than the
total value of all fruits, vegetables, field
crops and livestock sold in the state, and
practically equal to the estimated value
of all products manufactured in Florida
last year."
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1947-08-06
COMPARISON

When one reads that the industrial out
put of the United States is half of the
world total and that this country, with
only seven per cent of the worlds popula-
ton, has eighty per cent of the automo-
blles, fifty per cent of the telephones,
fifty-four per cent of the refrigerators and
forty-two per cent of the radios, one Won
ders what the rest of the people have.
Look around. however, in Monroe
county, we have a part of the population
without automobiles, telephones, refrig-
orators and radios. We find houses unfit
for human habitation and without the or
binary convenieIfces of urban life We find
human beings inadequately clothed and i'm
properly fed. We find bodies suffering
from disease despite the known fact that
modern medical science can restore health.
If such things exist in the United
States, the wealthest region in the world,
and they do, how much worse must con-
ditions be in countries with less industrial
production? How badly must the people
of the wardevastated areas suffer, with
agriculture and industrial production
shattered and without financial and other
resources necessary to lift the standards
of living?
